"Hurry up will you, we're gonna be late! Stop being such a girl!"
"Drew, I will skin you alive. Shut up." I yelled back.
Today was our last day of school for 2 and a half months. Was I excited? HELL yeah. Plus the dance was tonight. And my costume was a total surprise. I was going stag, just like most of the girls. I don't know what was happning at Degrassi, but everyone was breaking up or fighting. Even Adam and Fiona are in a spat, and Drew isn't speaking to Alli for whatever reason. AND the assembly was today, meaning we had to do our plays in front of the whole school. I'd been running my lines all night last night, and I was sure I had it down. Plus..
My phone buzzed on the side of the bathroom sink, signaling that I had a new text message. It was from an unknown number.
Hey, it's Eli. Look, Morty broke down this morning and I need a ride.. if not, that's alright. I'll walk.
I groaned. Fuck me sideways.
Fine.
I figured that was a good enough answer. It told him he could get a ride with me, but insinuated I didn't want to carry on the conversation. As far as I was concerned, he was still public enemy number one. Well, not public. Whatever.
Anyway, today I was sporting a pair of white denim shorts, a navy blue tanktop and a white crop top on top of the navy one. I decided on black ballet flats and an owl necklace for jewelry. Simple enough. I glanced at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. Curly hair, a white headband, and extensions. I'd started to miss my long hair, so I saved up some money and bought some extensions.
"BREA, jesus christ!" Drew screeched, " I REALLY HAVE TO PEE, OH MY GOD HURRRYYY UPPPP!"
"Don't get your panties in a twist, brother dear." I smirked as I opened the door and wiggled out just as Drew dashed in. I made it out the door in time for my hand NOT to be crushed in Drew's wrath.
Hush now baby, don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
Hush now baby, don't say a-
"Helloooooo?" I answered, trotting downstairs to the kitchen. Ma had made pancakes, so I sat at the table and dug in, not caring about being rude and chewing in someone's ear.
"Hey there, pretty lady. Are you still picking me up?"
It was Fitz.
I grinned to myself and swallowed my food. "Of course. See you in 10?"
"Sure. See you soon."
I felt giddy. I'd been hanging out with Fitz alot lately. By choice and also because of our play partnership. The only thing we didn't rehearse was the kiss. We weren't even sure we were going to put that in there, we might beat around the bush and do something else un-scripted instead.
"ADAM AND DREW, I'M WAITING IN THE CAR. HURRY UP!" I yelled up the stairs.
"You know, it's amazing how you're the only girl out of my kids and you still take less time than the two of them together." Dad said, kissing my head as he passed me to go out the door to the Jeep. I laughed and followed him to my car, climbing in. I Put on my seatbelt and waited. 5 minutes, my brothers came out and fought over who was getting shotgun.
"Adam gets front today. Drew and.. fuck!" I yelled, banging my head on the steering wheel. I'd been caught up in thinking about the play and Fitz, I forgot I had to pick up Eli. I groaned.
"What's your damage?" Adam asked as he slid in beside me, buckling up.
"I'm picking up Fitz. And Eli. Fuck." I mumbled.
"So?" Drew laughed. "WHats the big deal?"
"Do you want to walk? Or are you gonna shut up and stop asking me questions?" I snapped, glaring at him in the rearview as I pulled out of the driveway.
"Well then." Drew grumbled.
Eli's was closer, so I waited in the car while Adam went to the door. I didn't say a word as Eli climbed in the back and Adam got back in front.
"Seatbelts." I said,totally monotone. I jacked up the stereo, which was blasting Holiday by Green Day. I sped to Fitz's house, ignoring the chit-chat between my brothers and Eli. I hauled into Fitz's street and into his driveway. I beeped the horn and waited. Fitz came out of h is house, his bookbag slung over one shoulder, the other hand in his pocket.I smiled and waved when I caught his eye. He opened the back door and slid in next to Drew.
"What an interesting group of people in this car." Eli remarked. I rolled my eyes and sped up, going through a yellow traffic light.
"Why are you here, Goldsworthy? Trying to get her back, eh?" Fitz smirked. Drew and Adam were also arguing about something.
I felt my eye twitch. I was getting angry. They hadn't stopped bickering since I left Fitz's.
"Okay, that's IT!" I yelled, pulling over on the side of the road. "Everybody, get the FUCK out."
"What? Why?" Eli asked, opening his door.
"Just. Get. Out!" I seethed, getting out myself. "Obviously we need a new seating arrangement."
The boys stared at me, wide eyed.
"Goldsworthy, shot gun. Adam, passenger side in back. Drew,middle. Fitz,behind me. Go. Now."
I was stared at, still.
"NOW!" I bellowed. They scrambled to their spots. I climbed in and started the car. Once everyone was buckled in again, I took off for school,again. I was still furious. Also, I didn'tknow what posessed me to put Eli in front with me. The car ride to school was silent, not even the radio was on anymore. I guess everyone was in their own little dream world.

"Yeah,yeah. Romeo, sorry boy but no offence, you ain't my type. You ain't a gorilla juicehead, sorry." I popped my gum. Our little play was going great! The audience was constantly chuckling and me and Fitz. I was decked out in Snookiness. Tight,leopard print dress, fuzzy slippers, a huge poof in my hair and tons of eyeliner and bronzer. Fitz looked hillarious as Pauly D. I spiked up his hair for him, drew on some fake tattoos and he was dressed in a white wifebeater, saggy jeans and colorful Nikes.
"Yo Juliet, girl, you don't mean that." Fitz came closer to me, trapping me between his body and the makeshift stage wall, just like we practiced. The audience tittered away.
"Boy, you better back up offa me, I'm a squirrel monkey!" I yelled, playfully pushing on Fitz's arm.
"Juliet, just gimmie a chance dawg." Fitz's Jersey acccent was so spot on, it made me giggle.
"Fine, but you better not mess up, or I'mma give you to the wolves and they gonna take care of you, got it?"
"Yo, thanks dawg." Fitz grinned. He started to lean in. I guess we're not gonna beat around the bush with this, are we? But then again, right now I was Snooki, not Brea. So I did the Snooki-est thing I could think of. I grabbed Fitz by the back of the neck and planted one right on him. I could feel him tense up for a second, like he didn't expect me to be so forward. But then he loosened up and had me trapped against the wall again. The crowed hollered and laughed as I pulled away, wiping my lips.
"Ay, yo! Quit your laughin'!" I exclaimed, putting my hands on my hips.
The blue velvet curtain fell in front of me, signalling the show was over.
"We did awesome!" Fitz laughed,running his fingers through his hair to get some of the gel out.
"Awesome? We were fucking fantastic!" I grinned, taking the bobby pins out of my hair to un-poof it a little bit.
"You made a very convincing Snooki," he laughed, throwing his arm around my shoulders.
"Hey, I had to get into character,didn't I? Why do you think I never answered any texts the past few thursday nights?" I joked, turning to wrap my arms around him in a hug.
"So, what's your get-up for tonight?" he asked,crossing his arms around my neck.
"Hey, i told you it's a surprise! You'll know me when you see me," I grinned,leaning up to peck him on the cheek. Fitz had asked me to be his date a few days ago. "All you need to do is show up at school around 8, and I'll be there waiting for you."
"But-"
"Shut up or I'll make you."
"Challenge accepted!" Fitz laughed, bringing me in closer to him. I loved being in his arms like this. Totally innocent, and playful.
"Brea! Oh my Gosh, you were phenominal!" A cheerful voice, I recognized as Alli's, chirped from the sidelines as she walked over to me and Fitz.
"Thanks, Al." I smiled, letting go of Fitz long enough to hug Alli.
"You're still coming over to get ready,right?" She asked, jumping up and down.
"Wait, Alli gets to see your costume before I do? That's just cruel." Fitz glared at me playfully.
"Soooorryyy. Listen, I gotta run, but I'll see you tonight okay?" I gave him a hug and when Alli wasn't looking, I kissed his bottom lip quickly. "You were awesome today."
I let go of him and walked away with Alli to the dressing room to change into my other outfit. I looked over my shoulder to see Fitz staring after me, a huge smile on his face.

".God, Brea you are a smokeshow! Holy crap!" Sav,dressed up as a cowboy, laughed as he walked into Alli's room while I was putting finishing touches on my makeup.
I turned and grinned. "Why thank you."
"Do a spin for the camera?" He held up his flipcam, and held out his hand. I grabbed it, laughing, and he twirled me around. "You totally rock this look, Torres!"
What was this look, you ask?
Sandy Olsen from Grease.
And no, not the poodle skirt, sweater wearing, tennis-shoe clad Sandy.
The cat suit wearing,red lipped,high heeled Sandy. And yes, I can pull off the gravity-defying big,curly hair do.
Alli, dressed as a toga girl, emerged from behind her brother.
"Damn,girl!" She laughed. "Come on, we gotta go or we're gonna be late!"
"We're already late, you twerp." I teased. ''20 minutes late!"
"Fashionably late. Bhandaris and Torres' are always the last to arrive." Sav winked,holding his arm out and gesturing for the door. I picked up my black leather jacket and my heels, and skipped out the door with Alli. We drove in Sav's truck to Degrassi, where you could hear the music pumping and people laughing. There were a few stragglers sitting on the steps. I didn't see Fitz, though. Well, since everyone was in costume, I didn't really recognize anybody. I hopped out of the car, still barefoot and holding my heels in my hand. Me and Alli linked arms and headed for the stairs.
"Woah, Torres." I heard a female voice say. I turned my head to see Bianca. She was dressed like a slutty maid. Go figure.
"DeSousa." I said thinly.
"You are smokin' in that outfit,girl." She laughed, looking me up and down. I raised an eyebrow.
"Thanks.. tell me, why are you being civil?"
"Well, I figured since you're cozied up with Fitz now, I may aswell be a lady and be nice. Also, I noticed you have a mean right hook. You should join fight club."
I stared at her. This was interesting.
"Fight club? Me?"
"I know, you're dainty, a girly girl, whatever. But seriously, Torres, think about it." And with that, she walked up the steps and into school.
"What the hell?" Alli mumbled. I shook my head.
"No idea. Come on, I have to find Fitz."
"You can do that alone. I'm going to get my dance on." She shimmied,bumped my hip then walked up the steps and disapeared. I shrugged and looked around. I spotted a familiar looking Pauly D, sitting on the ledge by a few flower beds. I grinned, straightened up my jacket, put on my heels and skipped over to him.
"Woah," he breathed, standing up. Perfect.
"Tell me about it,stud." I smirked. He laughed and shook his head, wrapping his arms around me.
"You look sick, Bee." He kissed my forhead.
"I was going for hot, but whatever." I scoffed playfully. He smile ddown at me,and started to lean in. I met him halfway,our lips meeting in a sweet kiss. I could feel people's eyes on us, staring,gawking,wondering. I smirked as I pulled away.
"Let's go have fun,yeah?"
I grabbed his hand and lead him up the school stairs and into the loud music.
