1.1 Casey and Fiona
[i love the people who review! it just occured to me that i don't speak to you guys...Andy, i'll try to do that model clothes thing you suggested! Charmed-13, no, you're not a bad person! Phoenix, thank you so much for reviewing a lot!]
Jess smiled inwardly at Rory's reaction. He loved surprising Rory. It was as fun as ruffling Luke's feathers once in a while. A small whistle caught his attention. Still holding the Specials Board, he turned. Raine and Leo stood side by side across the street and had their skateboards against their chests.
Raine flipped hers over to reveal the grip tape on her board. It said, written boldly in white chalk, "Jess is"
Then Leo did the same thing shortly after Raine. His said, "a priss"
Jess gave them a harmless glower and they both ran away snickering like little children.
Inside the diner, Luke noticed Lorelai and Rory gasping for air. He walked over to them with the coffee pot in hand.
"What the hell happened to you two? Did your throats constrict? Was there something in the food? There better not be; I'll strangle Ceasar with my bare hands."
Then he saw his "adorable" nephew outside.
"JESS! GET YOUR UGLY BUTT IN HERE!"
That kid really ruffled his feathers sometimes.
That night, Leo and Raine stayed indoors at the Independence Inn, afraid of repeating the drunken incident the other night. The two friends lay on their beds, staring at the ceiling.
"I, ah, got two calls the other day," Leo said.
"Who from?"
"They were all from Daligne. She called my cell to say that we've got a week to 'get our fabulous asses back to LA' or we're toast."
"Huh."
Silence filled the room once again.
"Hey, do you remember Casey from the skate tour?"
"What? Oh, yeah. Of course."
"He was cool, wasn't he? Real nice guy. Thoughtful. Gentlemanlike."
"Forget it. He's not gay, Leo. He also has a girlfriend, remember?"
"Yes, I am aware that he isn't gay. I also am aware that he has a girlfriend… the Bitch."
"Fiona isn't that bad. I think."
"Oh, please. Fiona's the Devil. Fiona's the Prince of Darkness with boobs. She treats Casey like crap: 'Get me that Pepsi, Casey!'; 'Casey! Massage my dirty, disgusting, wart-infested feet!'; 'Casey! Blah, blah, blah!'"
"I know. Casey was so sweet to her, though. Aw, I love Casey. He's such a cutiepie."
Leo didn't reply. He was all too sure how Casey would react if he'd heard what Raine had just said about him. The guy would probably explode from all that blushing and pass out or something.
See, Casey was one of those soft-spoken people. He usually stood in the background, not exactly blending in, but not a total wallflower either. He's great if he gave you the rare chance to get to know him better. If he lets you in that zone [or if he was REALLY drunk], you'd see a completely different Casey. He was smart; not academic smart, but witty, funny, street-smart. People teased him, but nobody really messed with him. You did not want to see Casey angry, not even pissed. He's a Travis Barker, if you will. Yes, the Blink 182 drummer. Seriously. That's really how he was. He was kind of an outcast, but had enough social skills to make friends. That's why he fit in so well with Leo's crowd. Skateboarding was his passion, his life. Man, that guy can skate vert or freestyle. He can do anything with his skateboard. He was also very much attracted to Raine.
How he got mixed up with that horrible gorilla Fiona was beyond Leo. Fiona was one of the reasons why it wouldn't work out then. She was constantly in their way, usually asking something from Casey. Another was Jess. Raine was so hung up over him that she didn't realize that Casey was always behind her, waiting – and usually so nervous he'd faint or sometimes even throw up. But now that Jess and Raine had agreed on being just best friends...
"It's good to know you like the guy."
Raine watched Leo carefully. "Why?" she asked slowly.
"Becausehe'scomingtomorrow. Goodnight!"
Then Leo turned away from Raine sleeping, leaving his friend to think about what he had just blurted out.
