Ethan Frome

Chapter Three

~~~*~~~

At school the next day, Princess' mind was on cloud nine, just thinking about what happened at the dance. She and Mitch danced until she couldn't dance anymore. And she thought that he looked too rich in the Fubu set he wore. She was a little peeved to find that mostly everyone had the same ensemble in different colors. But other than that, she was had the best time she had in awhile. Taking out her books from her locker, her good mood was flushed down the toilet. What she saw, could've made her throw up all over her new Girbaud shirt that she bought yesterday.

Blaze walked through the hall with her arm over her boyfriends' and all of the boys tried to get a quick glance before Buster caught them. Mitch walked up behind her, wrapped his arm around her waist, kissed her on the cheek and she looked up at him, with a look of displeasement.
"What's wrong?" he asked her, ready to hear anything.

"Her." She said, and then he looked up to see Buster and Blaze looked up and started smirking.

"The couple from hell has risen from boot camp." He said, "Screw them. I know you can't possibly be jealous of…her."
"I'd be damned to hell and back if I were." She said, and then Mitch turned her around and gave her a steamy kiss and nuzzled her nose. "Where are we going tonight?"

"I don't know. We'll have to see after school." She said, and then kissed him back.
"Alright." He said, kissing her softly on the lips "Don't let me have to kill somebody."

Princess gave him a smirk as he walked off, and then walked to class with one notion on her mind.

"As long as she doesn't say anything to me, I don't say a thing to her."

~~~*~~~

Buttercup and Butch walked in class, ready to start yet another long and boring day in school. They walked in their math class, and sat in the back. They were two extra seats in the back, and as if on cue, Buster and Blaze walked in. They took a seat right next to the brunette couple, and looked around.

"So what's this? Math?" Buster asked them.

"Yeah." Buttercup said, "It sucks."
"Not really." Buster said, "If you take your time."
"Yeah. Math could be totally be fun." Blaze said, smirking, "You just have to have a mind to do it, and your hormones in check."

"And a cold shower." Buster mumbled and Butch looked over at him smirking.

"Yo. Don't diss the explorer." He said, "I like to explore new things."

"As long as it's Playboy material." Buttercup said, and Butch looked at her shocked.

"Hey." He said, "What for?"

Buttercup looked at her boyfriend and smirked. "I know that you look at Playboy material, and if you had the channel, you would check it out." She said, "You're a jerk. But I still love you."

Butch smirked back. "That's good to know beautiful. You know that you're the best though."

"Don't try to be sweet now." She said, smirking.

Buster and Blaze were looking on at the two brunettes and smirked. Blaze knew even though Butch was sweet talking Buttercup, he was going to get his face punched in…eventually.

When their teacher walked in, Blaze immediately noticed that someone she hated walked in the class. The girl with the flowing red hair, the snotty attitude, with all the money in the world, sat in the middle of class, with her head held up high.

"Not this year…" she mumbled to herself. Buster looked up at her, and then raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong Blaze?" he asked, ready to hear anything.

"Her." She said, pointing to Princess.

Buster didn't say a word, but just shook his head, and looked his girl in the eye.

"Just don't say anything to her." He said,

"I'll try." She said, her mood down for good. Buster looked on at her, as did Buttercup and Butch.

"What's wrong with her?" Buttercup asked

"Princess." Buster said, and then she smirked.

"Aw, you getting pissed off of her?" Buttercup said, and Blaze looked up at her, and nodded.

"Don't worry about her. If she ever steps up to your man, all you got to do, is shove something straight up her…"

"Alright Buttercup." Buster said, scolding his sister. Buttercup looked at him and rolled her eyes at him.

"You're another Blossom." She said, and then he smirked back.

"Thanks for the compliment." He said, and then looked up as the teacher asked for everyone's attention.

"This is gonna be a helluva day." He thought, as he saw Blaze look at Princess with fire in her eyes. "A helluva day."

~~~*~~~

Mitch sat in his history class next to Adam, who had a far away glance on his face. He didn't know why for sure, but he thought it had something to do with that girl he was with at the dance.

"Adam?"

"Yeah?" he said, snapping out of his dazed look, "What's up man?"

"You." Mitch said, "You look like cupid shot a giant arrow up your ass."

"Oh?" Adam said, "You shouldn't be talking."

"Why? 'Cause I got Princess?"
Adam nodded and then smirked on at him. Mitch smirked back.

"So who is she?" Mitch said, curious

"Her name is Mei, and she's the most beautiful girl in the world."

"Oh really?" he said, smirking, "That's what you said about Blossom a few months ago."

"But I'm not with Blossom am I?" he said, smirking, "Besides, Mei is more exotic than she is."

"Oh really?" Mitch said, "Fill me in."

"I will…at lunch." She said, "What you gonna do after school?"

"I don't know." Mitch said, "Whatever strikes the mood."

"Why don't we double date?" Adam suggested, and then Mitch gave a look of uncertainty. It took long enough for Princess to stop acting snotty around him, what would happen if she found out her friends were…not her kind of people?

"I don't know Adam. You know how Princess is around people."

"No. Mei is patient with her. Besides, Mei and Princess'll probably have a lot in common."

"Alright Adam. If you say so." Mitch said, although he knew it spelled disaster. His teacher walked in, and he decided to write her a letter. His reason was that he couldn't stand to listen to her ramble on about being around 'common people.'

~~~*~~~

As the bell rung for second period, and Princess ran to her locker, and then saw a note stuck there. She picked it up and started reading.

11-01-2001

1st Period

Thinking about you

Princess,

Hey! I wanted to ask you something. My friend Adam asked me if we wanted to go on a double date after school. If you don't feel like it, we could find some trouble to get into. But other than that, I'll see you in English. Stay out of trouble until then.

Mitch

Princess smiled, and then saw her man walking pass. She smirked, and then walked up behind him. She put her arms around his neck, and then he looked back, pleasantly surprised.

"Hey Mitch." She purred, and he smiled,

"Hey Princess." He said, "What's up?"

"Nothing." She said, "You wanted to go somewhere?"

"Yeah. My friend Adam invited us to go with him and his girlfriend for an afternoon of fun."

"How come you didn't ask me up front…like you usually do?" she said, "You're not afraid of me are you?"

Mitch looked at her, and then slid his hand up her shirt, in an attempt to take off her bra, and Princess stopped him, her face flushed red. Mitch smirked triumphant to show his point.

"If I was afraid of you, I wouldn't be able to do that…now would I?" he said, and then he gave her another steamy kiss. "So…are you up for it?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" she asked, and Mitch sighed in exasperation. The girl he was holding in his arms never ceased to amaze him.

"I better enjoy it while it lasts." He thought, "Because this isn't my girl Princess Morebucks. This is some other chick."

"But…" she said, "You better pick me up after class, or else it won't be pretty."

Mitch smirked as Princess leant up to give him a steamy kiss. "Now there's the girl I fell for." He thought, when he saw a girl with blond hair look over at him with a lustful stare.

"What the hell is she lookin' at? I hope I'm not the object of her affection…or Princess."

~~~*~~~

Denise looked on at Mitch and gave her the sexiest smile that should've made him crumble at her feet. But instead of doing that, he only drowned into Princess even more.

"What the hell am I going to do?" she thought, "If Princess got him under her spell?"

Just then, she saw Buster walk down the hall and she stood at attention. She instantly fell in love with his toned body, and his navy blue eyes.

"Oh yes…", She thought to herself, wanting to be in his arms at the very moment. "Move over Brick…and Mitch. Mr. Sexy has just entered the building."

"Found a new target Denise?" she heard someone say. She turned and saw Mei standing there, smirking,

"Yes. I have. Look at him." She said, and Mei looked over. She saw Buster trying to undo the lock in his locker and thought he was quite the catch, but ever since the night before, she thought that no one looked better than Adam.

"Well, seems like your over Mitch and Brick now huh?" Mei said, and Denise just looked over at him and smiled.

"No. Which ever one I get, I get, but I want him the most." She said looking over at Buster.

"Whatever Denise." She said, "But take into account that he's most likely spoken for."

"F_ck his girl." She said, "I get what I want."

Mei shook her head, and then bounced off to leave her friend with her little 'infatuations', because that's what they were.

"And that's what they're gonna stay." She thought, as she saw her boyfriend in walking into class. She walked in after him, looking for some trouble to get into.

~~~*~~~

At lunch, the guys were sitting together to talk about how things were going. Brick decided to ask first, since Boomer and Butch were devouring their food like they haven't eaten in their lives.

"How was your first day Buster?" Brick said, and Buster smiled,

"Good so far." He said, "How was yours?"

"Alright." He said, "Yo. Tell me why Denise Keller was blowin' me kisses in class?"

"That's 'cause she likes you." Butch said, snickering, "But she wants Mitch too."

Boomer stopped eating for a minute, and then looked up with a raised brow.

"The ditzy blond haired chick wants Mitch?" he said, and then Butch looked over at his brother with a smirk.

"Damn right." He said, "Saw her smilin' at him like an idiot while he was makin' out with Princess in the hall, and she was lookin' at Buster with that…look."

"What look?" Buster said, looking up at Butch.

"That look when you know a girl is gonna be your worst nightmare. Everywhere you turn, she's there. When you're with your girl…she's there. When you're tryin' to take a piss…"
"Alright Butch." Brick said, cutting him off. Butch sneered at his brother, and then kept going.

"Anyway, in less dramatics…she's gonna end up getting f_cked up like Kim did. But worse. She's gonna have Blossom, Princess, and Blaze on her like Buttercup when she has her monthly friend."

Buster winced, and then looked over at Boomer who grimaced too. Brick just gave a smile, and then looked on at Butch.

"Well I can't wait for that fight to happen." He said, and then Boomer decided to see if he can spark his brother's anger somehow.

"Butch, guess what I heard." He said, and smirking evilly.

"What up?"

"Adam has a girl?"

"You mean plastic d_ck Lee stopped pining over Blossom and got another one? Woah."

"Yeah. Her names Mei."

"You mean that girl that was about to fight Kim last week right?"

"Yeah."

"Hold up." Brick said, "Who the hell are you talking about, and how long has this dude been sniffing around my girl's ass?"

"Just for a few weeks." Boomer said, with an impish grin. "Yeah, he's been talkin' some sh_t that would've made you want to pound him into the ground."

"Like what?" Brick said,

"Easy. Like day dreaming about Blossom in a red bra and a pair of thongs, and much, much more."

"And he's been talking to her, saying things that made her nervous and stuff."

"Like…"

"You know. Is your man treatin' you right?" Butch said, smirking. He caught on to Boomer's little plan, and decided to add on.

"Where the hell is he?" he said, glaring down at Boomer, who was trying very hard not to laugh.

Brick grabbed Butch by the collar, and his eyes showed that same temper that he and Blossom shared, and it humored him a lot, needless to say. He pulled out of his brother's grasp, that was a little hard on him than usual.

"Who cares? He got a girl. He ain't thinkin' about Blossom."

"How come you didn't tell me when he did?"

"Why would I snitch on Blossom-Mother of all short tempers." Boomer said, faking a look of disgust.

"Yeah." Butch added, "And she has her friend right now?"

"Where's Blossom?" he said, looking around the cafeteria. He spotted her with her sisters, Blaze and Molly, and then got up.

"Dude wait!" Boomer said, as he busted out laughing, Butch busted out laughing right after. "It was only a joke!"

Buster snickered at his sister's counterparts, and shook his head.

"You two are a trip." He said, and then ran to get Brick before he ends up killing his brothers before the day is out.

~~~*~~~

Blaze was on the other side of the lunch room, listening to the girls tell how their day was so far.

"My day sucked." Buttercup said, "Especially in math."

"You always say that, everyday, and by the time you and Butch have gym, the day was the best you had in your life." Bubbles said, smirking at her sister. Buttercup smirked back.

"Oh yeah?" Buttercup said, "How was your day in art Bubbles? Did you and Boomer have fun drawing each other with hearts around it again?"

"No." Bubbles said, "Actually, we cut."

Blossom gasped, surprised that Bubbles would actually do something of the nature. Buttercup and Blaze started smiling, and giving her high fives, and Molly just sat there smirking. She couldn't really complain, because she couldn't count on her fingers how many times she and Mike had cut Biology to laze around in the park.

"What did you do?" she asked, curious to know.

"Nothing really. We sat, talked, and fooled around."

"Oooooh." Buttercup said, "Which fool around?"
"Made out." Bubbles said, "You know, the usual."

"Oh." Blaze said, with an evil grin "I thought you meant fooling around."

"Is that all you and Buttercup think about?" Blossom said, smirking,
Buttercup sat there and then thought over what her sister said, and Blaze followed suit. They then came to the same conclusion.

"Not really. It's just fun to imagine what it feels like." Blaze said,

and Buttercup nodded,

"Yeah red. I know you think about it too." she said, and Blossom smirked back, and then looked at her watch. The time for lunch was almost up, and they would have to go back to work soon.

"I wish school was out for the rest of the week." Blossom said,

"You're not the only one." Buttercup said, and Bubbles nodded

"For sure." Blaze said, "I wanna be with my true blue baby."

Molly smiled over at Blaze and shook her head. She could swear that Blossom was right. She and Buttercup don't think about nothing but their boyfriends, but it's alright with her, because she missed her boyfriend badly too.

"Molly." Bubbles said, "You've been quiet for a while. What's on your mind?"

"Mike." She said, smiling, and blushing.

"Mike…doing what?" Blaze said, trying to get something out of her. She knew that the quietest people are the ones with the best fantasies.

"Stripping in front of me." She said, her face getting redder, "Dancing to What's your fantasy."

"Woah." Blaze said, immediately having an idea, "Stop right there. How about we continue this after school?"

"Who's house?"

"Mine." She said, smirking, "I can just tell mommy that we're having a study party, and we can sit around with chips, juice, games, and…" she said, looking directly at Blossom. "No uptight people allowed."

"Yeah." Buttercup said, "If you can't handle what we're gonna talk about…then don't show up."
"Okay, okay." She said, exasperated, "Whatever."

"Good." She said, and then the principal came over the speaker, with some very pleasant news.

"Good afternoon, students of Townsville High. For all of this week, school will be closed, due some staff developments taking place. At the end of this announcement, all students are to be dismissed. Thank you and have a nice weekend."

Right then, the bell rung, and everyone started to leave. Buttercup and Blaze looked at each other and said exactly what they was on their minds-

"A slumber party sounds better."
