Val's/Problem
Val, Zeke and Casey went two school two days after Casey woke up. Amazingly Casey didn't get the flagpole that day. Or the next. Or even the next. Maybe it was because Zeke had beat the entire football team up singlehandedly or maybe it was something else.
Val and Casey sat at a table eating lunch. Casey cracked a joke and Val burst out laughing. She tried to wipe the tears away as Zeke came over and sat down. "What's so funny, babe?" Zeke asked.
"Casey just told the funniest joke ever! Oh my god! Casey tell him - tell him!"
Val calmed down and looked interestedly over Casey's shoulder. The school's gothic girl was sitting at a table, by herself, reading a weatherbeaten book.
"Zeke, Case - I'll be right back. Chill Zeke - I'm going to talk to someone." she said angrily when Zeke got a look in his eyes. Val walked over to the girl and sat down.
"Hi."
"Hi." said the girl, keeping her eyes on her book.
"I'm Valerie. My friends call me Val though."
"That's nice."
"You're Stokely right?"
"Why d'you wanna know?"
"Just interested. Hey listen- I heard there's a new science fiction movie out - something or other - and it looks kinda cool. Wanna go che-"
"Stokely. Valerie - I guess you're Stokely's Miss Right, then, hmm?"
"Go away Delilah." "Why should I?"
"Because you're a superficial bitch who wears contacts and only cares about herself. Reason enough?" said Val, leaving Delilah staring. "Eye problem?" Val asked sweetly. "You- I- how-" Delilah stuttered.
"Go away, child. This table's for mature women not spoiled little girls."
"Anyway, Stokely- you wanna go check the movie out? Not on a date like - just as friends chilling."
Stokely watched Delilah walk away in shock with a grin on her face.
"I'm in - anyone who disses that bitch is a friend of mine."
"How about Friday, eight o clock, at the Gate theater?"
"See you there."
"Bye." Val said, getting up and walking back to her table.
"Jeez- what'd you say to Delilah Val? She looked like she was in shock." Casey asked.
"Casey you need to get over her. She dumped you once already and that was because of god damn 'social status'. She deserved it. Come on man- I'll hook you up with someone. I got connections." Val said, eating half her lunch in one bite. "So what'd you say to Stokes?" Zeke asked. "We're going to a movie on Friday. But I'll be back about midnight so don't worry." she said, grinning.
Friday came around and Val was found searching her room for her license. "Damn! Where is it?"
"Looking for this?"
Val looked up and saw Zeke holding her license. "Zeke- give it! Stokes and I are going to a club after the movie and I need it to get in."
"I'll be waiting." he said with a grin.
"Maybe I'll be ready." she said, smirking. "Gotta go babe." she said, kissing him and walking out of the house.
"Stokely! Over here!" yelled Val over the crowd, waving her hands. Stokely saw her and made a beeline. "I got the tickets. Here." she said, both going into the theater.
An hour and fifty-three minutes later they walked out. "That was so great!" said Val.
"I know. I liked it when Maiko killed the alien with a drug. Ironic though."
"What is?"
"It's just - never mind."
"What?"
"That's how Casey killed MaryBeth. With a drug."
"Oh. Okay."
"Come on- let's go clubbing!"
"That's what I'm talking about! Yeah!"
