Chapter 2: The Rise of Stacey Whitman
I know it's been forever and i know this chapter is really short. But i do want to let you guys know i plan to carry on with this story, and I'll update as often as i can. R&R.
Since it was only a Monday all the girls had split off into their own groups. At lunch time Gretchen saw Stacey enter the cafeteria dragging Karen along with her. Gretchen started praying that Stacey wouldn't come over and talk to her, but it was no use.
"Gretchen! Do you know where I found Karen?" Stacey asked in a huff. Karen was still trying to get Stacey's death grip on her arm to loosen. Gretchen looked at her asian friends who were all just kind of staring back at her. She was going to say something in Chinese when Stacey interrupted. She started speaking in Chinese to Gretchen's friends, and though Karen didn't understand she could tell it was something mean, just by the tone of voice. Once Stacey finished the Asians looked at each other and soon scattered.
"Stacey!" Gretchen said, Stacey Whitman had just scared off all of her friends.
"as I was saying, guess where I found Karen"
"I spend all my time in the video studio" Karen interrupted.
"wrong. Only the AV nerds spend all their time in the video studio, and I refuse to hang out with an AV nerd."
"Stacey-" Gretchen started but didn't get any further.
"where's Regina? She's always at the usual table at lunch" Stacey said.
"she's outside, like usual" Karen said, she just realized she gave away Regina's where abouts and tried to take it back but it was too late. Stacey had already started heading for the door. "I mean she's – she's in the … bathroom!" Gretchen said on the spot but Stacey just ignored her.
Stacey flung open the door grabbing the attention of everyone who could see her. She looked around in a fury and saw Regina talking to some girls on the soccer field, they were all passing the ball around. Stacey took off in her direction in anger. "Regina!" Stacey yelled.
Regina heard her name and her head shot in the direction of Stacey. She was walking towards her in anger. Regina instantly felt a little anxious.
"uh guys, I got to go, later" Regina said quickly and tried heading for the school, but Stacey caught up with her.
"let's go" she said angrily and pulled Regina into the school. Once they were inside and no one was around Stacey started talking. "you weren't kidding when you said everyone split up, were you?"
"no Stacey, I wasn't. We all went our separate ways" Regina explained.
"why?!"
"Cady decided that-"
"Cady? That freak from Science?"
"yeah, but listen she-"
"no!" Stacey interrupted. "bring the girls to my house after school. Everything changes tonight"
"we're not going to your house, Stacey. I told you we're over it all"
"come or I'll see to it that Karen's club shuts down, Gretchen's Asian friends never speak to her, and that you never play sports again" Stacey said with a quick flash of her perfect teeth and walked away.
After school that day Regina, Gretchen and Karen all reluctantly went over to Stacey's house. Stacey had just moved back into the neighbourhood and of course her parents had to have the most luxurious place in town, it was probably twice the size of Regina's house.
"I still don't get why we're here" Gretchen said to Regina and Karen as they were standing on the front porch of Stacey's house. Regina leaned in and rang the door bell.
"she'll screw with your life until your miserable. So we'll just play around with her until she loses interest…" Regina said. She may not run the plastics anymore, but she's still the boss in a way.
"what if she doesn't?" Karen asks.
"… then I've got a back up plan, but that's only for extreme measures" Regina said right before Stacey opened the door. Without a word the four girls headed up to her bedroom.
She had wall to wall carpeting in her room, not to mention a king size bed too. This would probably one of those bedrooms you saw on MTV's 'Cribs'.
"sit" Stacey said motioning to the couch in her room.
"look, Stacey I've got a practise later, can we hurry this up?" Regina asked. Stacey just glared at her. There was a time when what ever Stacey said goes, and everything she did came first. But not anymore.
"ladies, there seems to have been a misunderstanding. When I left our school, it was up to you to carry on the tradition of plastics. Something happened… or should I say someone?" Stacey asked as she started pacing back and forth in front of them. "that's why we're here"
"what? You want to get us back together or something?" Gretchen asked.
"we never split up… we just took a break" Stacey said. Even though they knew that was a lie they also knew that, that would be the word around school tomorrow. Stacey had a way of telling everybody everything, and if they denied it they would be forced to face the wrath that it Stacey Whitman.
"and what if we don't?" Karen asked.
"test me and find out" Stacey growled. The girls knew that it was better to be on her side for now.
"look, Stacey, this is ridiculous. Everyone's happy the way they are… why do you want to change that?" Gretchen asked.
"because we could all be so much happier. Don't you remember when we would have so much fun when we got extensions on all of our assignments or got what ever guys we wanted at the drop of a hat? It was perfect!"
"Stacey, everyone hated us, they feared us" Regina pointed out.
"no" Stacey said forcefully. "they enviedus"
"did you like go to the mental hospital or something?" Karen asked.
"shut up Karen" Stacey snapped. "You'll see, tomorrow, everything will be the way it should be"
"why? What are you going to do?" Gretchen asked.
"I'm not going to do anything…. We are. And as first order of business I already have something in mind"
"what you want to make some one else's life hell too?" Karen asked sarcastically.
"yes… our first group project will be to bring down Cady Heron." Stacey said with a smirk.
