~3rd Block Swimming Class~
"I'm not coming out!" Erin shouted while she had herself locked in a stall.
"It can't be that bad! Come on, Erin!" Jessica shouted as she shook the stall door.
"No! LEAVE ME NOW!"
5 minuets later
"I hate you all..." Erin grumbled as she glared at the water.
"You know you love us! Well...at least me..." Megan said as she tackled Erin in a hug. Erin grimaced as she came very close to the edge of the pool. Stephanie elbowed Megan as she noticed the group of guys from Lit class heading over to them.
"Oh my god, they're wearing speedos," Megan whispered, blushing at the sight. Stephanie rolled her eyes at her shy friend.
"Hey, what's up ladies?" Reid asked when they reached the group of girls.
"Nothing really," Stephanie replied coolly as Megan glanced away from the boys, trying to hide any sign of bashfulness. However, Caleb caught on. He eyed the petite blonde and her small frame. Just like the rest of the girls, she wore the school's one-piece bathing suits and even thought one pieces weren't very flattering, she wore it very well.
"Well, if you're not doing anything tonight, you should head out to the beach. There's gonna be a party there around 8. It would be awesome if you guys came. I know you'd have fun," Reid said, looking at Stephanie while he said the last part. Caleb turned away from Megan and listened to the conversation.
"We'll think about it." Stephanie replied, smiling slightly.
"I refuse to go," Erin stated bluntly.
"We'll be there, all of us." Stephanie said while glaring at Erin.
"Not me," Erin stated again.
Tyler stood next to Erin and asked, "Why don't you want to go?" Erin shifted slightly to the left and then suddenly hit the water as the floor disappeared from below her left foot. Everyone stared at the area of water that Erin disappeared into the water. "Um...Did anyone see what happened?" Jessica asked as everyone slowly started into fits of laughter.
Erin reappeared and spit out a mouthful of water and glared at the laughing group. "I will kill you all," She stated with venom as blush crept onto her cheeks.
Suddenly the coach's whistle was blown, getting the students' attention.
~6th Block: History~
"Why do we have to go?" Erin asked the group quietly as the teacher went along with his lecture.
"Because we were invited, that's why. Just swallow your complaints and admit that you wanna go," Stephanie whispered angrily in reply. Erin turned back to her notes and grumbled her protests. Megan looked around the classroom and noticed that Reid and Tyler were sitting a few seats back. She turned to Stephanie and elbowed her in the side. When Stephanie turned toward her, Megan jerked her head in the guys' direction.
Reid looked at Stephanie and nodded his head slightly. Stephanie turned back to the front and Megan quietly squealed as she elbowed Stephanie several more times. "Oh, I get why you want to go so bad," Erin stated. "You wanna go hang out with the twitchy guy." She accused as Stephanie kept her attention to the front.
"We're going, Erin. Get over it." Jessica said as Erin let her head fall forward onto the desk.
"Oh my god! I have to find something cute to wear! I'm going to pick out your outfit too, Steph," Megan said in an excited whisper, bouncing up and down.
"You're going to do no such thing. You stay away from my clothes!"
"Fine," Megan replied, looking hurt, "I'll help Erin, then."
"You're not coming anywhere near my room," Erin said quickly. Megan stuck her tongue out at Erin and turned back to the lesson.
~7th Block Study Hall~
"Do you think we'll need a jacket? Maybe I should wear my brown one tonight..."
"Meg, I love you dearly, but if you don't give it a rest and let me figure out this stupid problem I've got for Trig, I'm going to have to throttle you." Stephanie cut her off without even looking up from her textbook. She and Erin were trying desperately to figure out the Trig problems that were assigned to them and Jessica, who was at the time reading a book.
Megan turned to her sketch pad and started on her art project while mumbling under her breath.
"Hey, ladies." The group of girls looked up to find Caleb, Reid, Pogue, and Tyler standing by their table. Reid pulled out a piece of paper and continued, "I realized last period that we didn't tell you how to get to the party." He put the paper on the table and slid it toward Stephanie who then, without looking from the textbook, pushed it to Jessica to put in her purse.
"Do you guys mind if we join you?" Caleb asked politely as he pulled out the seat between Megan and Jessica.
"Ye-," Erin started, but was cut off as Megan stomped on her foot.
"Not at all!" She stated cheerfully, ignoring Erin's silent curses. The guys sat down.
"So, about the party tonight," Caleb began as he tried to start up a conversation, "I thought that maybe you guys should know that it isn't exactly legal for us to be out there. If the cops show up you could get into trouble."
"We'll be fine," Jessica said as she put her book down and Megan nodded with her mouth full of her sandwich.
"Yea, worst case scenario, Stephanie ends up speeding to get away. Not the first time she's dealt with cops," Megan explained with a tiny smirk tugging on her lips.
"What?" Tyler asked surprised.
"I was late for an interview. The asshole wanted me to pull over," she explained without looking up.
"Okay…anyways, if you guys need a ride, we can give you one," offered Pogue.
"Thanks, but Stephanie's going to drive us," Megan replied.
"Alright," the bell rang and Reid and the guys stood up, "So we'll see you later then," Reid said as he looked at Stephanie, who was still concentrating on her Trig work.
~Girl's Dorms: After School~
"No! wear this one!" Megan said while grabbing a black corset shirt. Stephanie looked at the shirt then at the purple and black "The Used" t-shirt she was going to wear.
"But this one has purple..."
"But this one shows whacha' got."
"And why would I do that?" Stephanie asked, holding the t-shirt protectively over her chest.
"So you can catch the attention of a certain twitchy blonde guy."
"Please, I can do that without getting dressed up."
"Just put the shirt on before your ego gets to big!" Megan shouted angrily and threw the corset at her.
"Fine. But I'm going to pick out your outfit." She said while pulling on a pair of tight black Tripp pants with small silver studs and bondage chains attached to it. "We have to get you out of your little virgin shell," she finished and punched Megan's shoulder.
Megan winced and held her shoulder while saying, "But I don't have a shell. If I did, that wouldn't have hurt so much…."
"But these shorts are too short!" Megan whined as she tugged at the bottom of her short Hollister shorts. To say the least, they were booty shorts and she could feel the slight breeze in unwanted areas. She continued to pull at the shorts, hoping to hide a bit of the butt cheeks that were shown.
"You have to admit that you like the sweater I picked out though." Stephanie said as she opened the door to her black Mitsubishi Spyder Eclipse.
Megan spun around and giggled, "Yep, I love this top!" It was a knitted cream sweater. It was thin enough for her not to get hot, but thick enough to keep her warm. It was perfect for the cool weather tonight. Everyone jumped into Stephanie's car and they drove off to the beach, using the directions that Reid gave them.
~At the Party~
"This is cool." Jessica stated, satisfied with the party in front of them.
"Everyone's staring at us...Let's go back to the car..." Erin whispered and took a step back towards the woods.
"No one's even noticed us, so how are they all staring?" Stephanie asked while surveying the scene.
"They will be, I can see the future, don't question me!" Erin said quickly.
"Oh, chill out. As soon as I turn Meg into a party machine, you're going to be next." Stephanie said and walked off towards Reid and the guys.
"Hey, you guys made it!" Pogue said as the group of girls approached.
"Of course. Megan was so excited to come. She wouldn't let us even think of skipping the party." Stephanie replied as Megan glared at the ground, blushing. I hate her so much right now, it's not even funny. Megan thought as she plotted Stephanie's demise.
"Wow. I didn't take you for such a party girl," Pogue stated as the group of girls, excluding Megan, giggled. Megan just looked away, blushing.
"So how has your first day been?" Caleb asked, trying to give Megan a break.
"Pretty good. This school is kinda boring though. Nothing has happened, besides this party." Megan replied, surveying the mass of students dancing.
"Hey, you wanna dance?" Tyler asked Erin, who was trying desperately to blend in behind Stephanie and Jessica, even though she's the tallest of the girls.
"Oh, I don't-" Erin started, but was cut off by Stephanie.
"She'd love to! She's a real dancing machine!" she said and gave Erin one hard push towards the mass of dancing teens.
"Catch up with you guys later," Tyler said and walked to where Erin stood, giving Stephanie the one finger salute.
"I'm going grab a drink," Jessica said as she walked away. Caleb spoke up and said,
"I'll come." Jessica smiled shyly in response and waved bye to what was left of the group.
"Well...you wanna dance?" Reid asked and turned to Stephanie,
"I dunno. Maybe in a minute. I can't leave Megan by herself. Unless Pogue dances with her or hangs out with her."
"You are so evil..." Megan whispered angrily, just loud enough for Stephanie to hear her.
"Yea, that'd be awesome. You want to dance?" Pogue asked coolly.
"I can't dance..." Megan replied, looking at her feet shyly.
"That's a lie! She can to dance. Do that thing where you put your foot over your head!" Stephanie shouted excitedly.
"How about no." Megan replied, giving her a dull look.
"Go on. Sounds interesting." Pogue said, and stepped away slightly.
"Alright..." Megan grabbed her ankle and pulled upward until it was parallel with her body.
"Jesus...that should be illegal!" Reid shouted as he winced.
"How'd you learn to do that?" Pogue asked while she slowly let her foot down.
"I do yoga on a daily basis, and I was in gymnastics for two years."
"Impressive." Pogue said.
"Well, have fun dancing, Megan. You have my cell number if you need anything!" Stephanie said suddenly and grabbed Reid's arm and ran off.
"Oh jeeze...You know, I really can't dance..."
"After that, I don't believe you." Pogue replies.
"But that's not dancing! That's stretching!"
"Fine, I'll teach you how to dance. All you have to do is feel the beat of the music." Pogue said and stepped closer to Megan. She bit her lip and thought furiously, I'm so going to kill Steph later... She then looked up at Pogue to see him smiling down at her. Maybe not...
Stephanie looked around and spotted Tyler and Erin talking together at the edge of the fire light. Guess Erin won the battle...but at least she's talking to someone... She thought as she moved to the beat of the rave music. She looked back toward Reid and saw that he wasn't dancing anymore. He seemed to be watching her, and he was smiling slightly "Why aren't you dancing?" Stephanie asked over the loud music. Reid shook his head and looked confused.
"What?"
"Why aren't you dancing? Is something wrong?" Stephanie asked again.
"No, I just got a little distracted." Reid replied quickly and started dancing again.
"Right..." Stephanie said, cautiously.
"So...you seem a bit more outgoing then your friends."
"Yea, I get that a lot. I'm the wild one of the group."
"I can tell." Reid said, laughing slightly.
"I really like your gloves. They're cool."
"Thanks. They were a gift," Reid said and held up one of his hands.
And that is his first mistake... Stephanie thought, smiling.
Megan giggled as Pogue grabbed her and spun her around to face him. "You're not as bad as you think you are," Pogue stated and Megan blushed. Pogue rested his hands on her hips as they swayed to the music. She stopped swaying and he laughed and said, "Don't stop dancing now, you're doing great."
Megan's mouth hung open slightly as she fought for something to say. Say something you idiot! Don't just stand there! She thought to herself while mentally beating herself.
"I-" She was cut off, just at the right time, by Stephanie running by her. She seemed to be waving something in the air and was shouting happily. Thank you for your good timing, Steph! I'm definitely not going to kill you now!
"Was that-?" she started again, but was cut off, once again, as Reid came running by also, shouting for Stephanie to give him something.
"No way." Pogue said, laughing slightly.
"What?" she asked, slightly confused and oblivious to the fact that Pogue still had his hands on her hips.
"She stole his gloves!" he shouted through his laughter, "I wonder how she managed that!"
"You'd be surprised…" Megan trailed off, smiling and trying to spot her friend.
"Megan! Look what I go-!" Stephanie started to shout as she burst through the crowd, but couldn't finish her sentence because she fell face first into the sand. She pushed herself up partially and spit out her mouthful of sand. "Oh my god! You guys look so cute!" Stephanie shouted happily when she noticed Pogue's hands on Megan's hips, "I have to get a pict- oof!" the wind rushed out of her lungs before she could finish, due to the fact that Reid sat down on her back.
"Give me my gloves!" Reid shouted as he extended his hand into her face.
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!" Stephanie whined in return.
"Come on! Give them back!"
"No!" she shouted in return and stuffed the gloves down her corset shirt.
"You think I won't go there?" he challenged. She glared at him, trying to catch his bluff, and then reached down her shirt and brought out a glove. He slipped it on his left hand and held out his right. "Both of them."
"Bah!" she shouted and threw the other glove at him. "I didn't want them anyway!"
"What's going on here?" Jessica asked as she gazed in shock at the scene before her. Caleb stood behind her with one eyebrow raised at the fact that Reid was sitting on Stephanie's back.
"She stole his gloves." answered Pogue, stepping away from Megan.
"Seriously?" Tyler asked, not hiding his amusement, as he walked up with Erin glaring at Stephanie.
"What?" she asked Erin and returned the look. "Gah! Get off me, Reid! You have your gloves back!"
