Chapter 37: Prom Fever

A few days passed and Angelica and Susie kept their secret well undercover. Angelica made up excuses not to sleep with Mr. Moore though she lead him on with a few make out sessions. She didn't want him to suspect it was her that sent him the threatening emails and letters. It made it even better when Susie took a few picks of him and flirting with Angelica at a local diner. Susie smiled as she stared into her phone. She felt bad that she was spying but at the same time it felt so good when it was out of revenge.

"Hey Susie," Lil said as she walked up to her. Susie closed her phone and turned.

"Hey girl how's that tongue of yours?" Susie asked. Lil shrugged.

"Better..." she said. Susie shook her head.

"Don't worry I'm sure it'll be better before Prom," Susie said. Lil's eyes widen.

"Prom?" she asked. Susie nodded.

"Oh yeah... and I'm running for Prom Princess," Susie replied. "Oh that reminds me," she then took out a picture with her as Belle in Beauty in the Beast with a lollipop rose. "Vote for me as Prom Princess... spread the word. I gotta go to class," she said and with that she ran off. Lil stared at it her mouth open. Lil ran toward Kimi down the next hall.

"Did you hear? Susie is running for Prom Princess?" Lil said. Kimi grabbed the picture and stared at it.

"No way! Susie?" Kimi asked as Lil nodded. "I thought she wasn't into that kind of stuff," Kimi replied. Suddenly the sound of heels storming toward them came forward.

"No way it is true! Susie Carmichael is running for Prom Princess!?" Angelica asked in shock as she gave them her Picture with a sugar free chocolate. "Grr... well she better be prepared because I'm not the only competition she has. Savannah is running for it too!" Angelica said.

"Wow you guys take this stuff seriously," Kimi said. Angelica shook her head.

"I'm surprised you're not. Considering freshman can run for Prom Lady," Angelica's replied simply.

"You can?" Lil asked confused.

"Duh!:Seniors King and Queen, Juniors, Prince and Princess, Sophomore, Duke and Duchess, Freshman Lord and Lady... Royal Court plus cutest couple and other blah blah," Angelica informed as she leaned against a locker. Lil and Kimi gave a each other a look as they both perked a brow.

"Don't bother I'm... not going for it," Lil said suddenly. Kimi shrugged.

"Neither am I," Kimi replied haughtily. Angelica's rolled her eyes.

"What's the matter? Afraid to risk your friendship for a little healthy competition?" Angelica said with a smirk. Both Kim and Lil turned the other way.

"Ha we're not like you and your friends Angelica," Kimi replied.

"Yeah... we're above all that pageantry," Lil replied.

"Oh... we'll see about that. Whether you run or not... you will find yourselves involved trust me... you will," Angelica said deviously as she walked off then turned. "Oh don't forget to vote for me!" she said and turned the corner passing out more card chocolates.

"Man she really takes that stuff seriously," Lil said. Kimi nodded.

"Let's go Lil we're above all that see you at lunch," Kimi said. Lil met up with Kimi in the cafeteria and waited in line together talking about their day.

"Hey Lil and Kimi?" a girl suddenly asked from their sides.

"Oh hey Trina!" Lil replied. "Yeah this is Kimi Finster," Lil reminded.

"Sorry about that," Trina said. Kimi shrugged.

"It's okay," she said.

"I just want to let you know that I'm running for Duchess! Wish me luck I'll have some cards by next week," Trina said. Lil smiled happily.

"You know you got my vote!" Lil said. Trina nodded with a thumbs up.

"Thanks!" Trina said.

"She seems nice," Kimi said.

"She is nice and mature too," Lil replied. Kimi nodded with agreement.

"Maybe I'll vote for her," Kimi said as they walked outside. They walked passed the doors then stopped suddenly there was a whole cheerleader squad cheering for Savannah as Angelica stood on a table with a bull horn mic saying to vote for her. There were other candidates making a scene as well.

"Savannah who? Oh that's right Stuck Up Cheerleading Squad leader that pays her squad to cheer for her! That's WHO!" Angelica yelled.

"Angelica get your butt down from there before you get in trouble!" Susie said from behind.

"No I can't!" Angelica yelled.

"So... where do you wanna sit?" Lil asked nervously.

"I don't know... anywhere?" Kimi replied as they searched for seats. They sat by Kimi's gang as they watched as other people made spectacles of themselves.

"How is making a fool out of yourself cool?" Akira said in a calm voice. Sachi shrugged.

"Since forever it seems," Sachi replied. Suddenly Tommy appeared.

"Hey ya guys enjoying Prom Fever?" he asked. Lil scoffed.

"Yeah having a blast," Lil said sarcastically. Tommy sat next to them and nodded.

"Yeah... Angelica said it's the same every year," Tommy replied.

"Really?" Kimi asked and Tommy nodded.

"Oh joy!" Lil let out sarcastically as she got up and dumped her food in the trash. Kimi did the same soon after. They walked around the school grounds and realized it was probably quieter inside the school itself.

"Vote for me Summer Saunders for Prom Queen," a beautiful blonde girl with who smiled gave them a paper as they walked inside.

"Hmm modest and not over the top," Lil replied taking it.

"Yeah some of us take the whole Prom thing a little too seriously. Honestly I think it's funny when people take it to extreme but what can I say it's a tradition," Summer said. Kimi shrugged as her and Tommy took the paper and walked inside. "Have fun," she said teasingly.

"Chaos near the end of the school year a tradition?" Tommy asked.

"What better time than that..." Kimi said sticking out her tongue.

"Did you see who's running for Duke... ah ha ha ha! Hilarious!" a girl said as they passed.

"Poor dude," Tommy said.

"Yeah," Lil agreed. "Who are all the candidates running anyways?" Lil suddenly asked.

"I heard there's a bulletin board at the end of Clique Boulevard," Tommy said. "Let's go check," he said. They casually made their way toward the bulletin board which was crowded by other students. Chuckie soon walked up to it looking quite pale.

"Hey Chuckie!" Kimi said as she ran up and gave him hug. "Looking better," she said happily. Chuckie's face had a greenish hue from the bruises he still had from the fight. His glasses were fixed and the cuts were scabbing over.

"Hey Chuck enjoying the chaos?" Tommy asked as he padded him on the back. Chuckie shrugged as they all looked up at the bulletin board. Staring at the list.

"Ehhck Veronica!" Kimi yelled as she crossed her arms.

"Ha well Prom Lord's got it made!" Tommy noticed. Lil elbowed him and pointed back at Prom Duke candidates.

"Look more closely," she whispered toward Tommy.

"I think... I think I'm gonna be sick," Chuckie groaned.

"Whoa you're running for Prom Duke?! Why didn't you tell me?" Tommy asked in shock.

"Like yeah!" Kimi asked looking up at shock. Chuckie stepped back shaking his head.

"I didn't do it! I never put my name in!" Chuckie yelled confused.

"What? Then who did?" Kimi asked confused.

"I don't know!" Chuckie said covering his face in his hands.

"Ha Ha good luck Finster!" a guy said as he walked away. Chuckie shook his head.

"This can't be happening! Maybe I can take my name out! Maybe I can resign!" he said out loud.

"Hey wait a minute? You're just gonna give up?" Tommy asked. Chuckie nodded.

"Yes!" he yelled.

"No! Can't you see this is fate! You're gonna stay in this race and I'm gonna help you!" Tommy encouraged. Kimi smiled and stepped up.

"Yeah I am too!" Kimi said.

"Count me in!" Lil said happily. Chuckie stepped back confused.

"Are you all crazy!?" he bellowed.

"Yep!" Kimi said hugging him happily. Tommy smacked his back.

"Don't worry with our guidance you can't lose!" Tommy said. Suddenly Dil ran up to them.

"Hey so it is true! Chuckster running for the Duke... very dignified if you ask me," Dil said as he nodded.

"With us as your campaign how can you lose?" Tommy asked. Chuckie gulped nervously as he looked at all his friends faces.

Kimi and Lil started walking home. Lil let out a long sigh then smiled.

"Ha... Angelica was right... we are involved in this thing," Lil realized. Kimi giggled.

"How did she know?" Kimi asked shaking her head. Lil shrugged.

"Who knows... but now it seems kind of fun actually... like we have the power to make you or break you!" Lil said playfully as she twisted her fingers evilly.

"Well I'm definitely gonna break Veronica if I can," Kimi said. Lil shrugged.

"Well she's got competition but so does Chuckie," Lil said gripping her backpack.. "Plus Chuck's gotta a soft ego... so we gotta help him win this one!" Lil said. Kimi nodded and sighed.

"I still wonder though... who put Chuckie's name up for nomination?" Kimi asked. Lil frowned.

"I don't know... it's pretty messed up thing to do without the person's consent," Lil agreed.

"Well I bet they did just to make Chuckie feel bad if he loses..." Kimi said bitterly. Lil nodded.

"That's why we're going to help him win. That reminds me Tommy is going to make Chuckie some flyers and cards with Photoshop find all the best pics you can find of your brother and bring them to Tommy's house tomorrow night. Operation Duke Finster has officially started," Lil said grinning. Kimi smiled as she turned the other direction.

"Got it! Can't wait, text you when I get home!" she said and walked off.

Sorry readers school is starting back again. BUT my muse is been kind of lagging. Who knows maybe college will jump start my muse.
