Chapter 8:
This is really bad, but during the process of robing two more stores, a few of us got a little drunk. Not one of my proudest moments. Well, about three o'clock, Eyeball drove me home. He parked the car in front of my house, and shut it off. I looked at him in silence. No this might have been the booze thinking but I wanted to kiss him. So, I did. I kissed him long on the mouth. I leaned back onto the car door, as Eyeball lay atop me. We started getting really into kissing, when all of a sudden the moment was shot.
"Uh, Jess." A voice said. Eyeball and I looked up and saw Gordon standing outside the car. Eyeball and I sighed.
"Excuse me Eyeball. I've got kick someone's ass." I said. I got out of the car and Eyeball drove away. When we got into the house, Gordon went ballistic.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?!?" He yelled. Boy, was he mad at me.
"Why, whatever do you mean dear cousin." I said, making things worse.
"Don't be an asshole! You can't go around with the Cobras."
"Well, if you haven't noticed, that's what I've been doing the past month."
"I can't believe you kissed Eyeball! You can't go around kissing guys like Eyeball!"
"I can kiss anyone I want to! It's none of your business!" I hated when I was told I couldn't do something.
"No you can't! What the hell, are you trying to be the town slut!"
"It's better then being the town prude."
"Very funny! But you can't start making out with those guys!"
"First of all, it was only Eyeball. And second, you can't tell me who I can and cannot make out with!"
"I think I just did!!!" Just then, Chris came downstairs, rubbing his eyes.
"What the hell are you two dumbasses yelling about." He said.
"Jessie here has taken it upon herself to be the town whore!"
"What an accomplishment." Chris said.
"Town whore? Just because I kissed Eyeball doesn't mean I'm the town whore!" "You kissed Eyeball?" Chris said.
"Yeah! That's right! You're brother! He practically had his tongue down her throat!"
"Don't you think you're exaggerating a little there!"
"No! You're worse then Amy Cooper!"
"Is that suppose to mean something to me."
"It should. Amy is the biggest slut." Chris said.
"Gordon! It was just a kiss, and it was just Eyeball! Get over it!"
"You say that now. But once you start messing with all of the Cobras, you'll mess with all of them! So as of now, you aren't allowed to hangout with them, let alone kiss any of them!"
"Who are you? My father? I think not. I will keep hanging around the Cobras, and I can kiss anyone I want to!!!"
"NO YOU CAN'T!!!" I had just about had it by then.
"Oh I can't huh?"
"That's right!" I walked over to Chris and gave him a long kiss, then looked at Gordon, in a sort of "You lost, I won, get over it" kind of look.
"Goodnight Gordon." I said, and walked upstairs to bed.
Gordon and I didn't talk to each other for two weeks after this. Then one day, the Cobras, surprised me and a disturbing manner.
"Hey Jess, we've all been talking and we want you to join The Cobras." Ace said.
"Is that so?" I asked.
"Yeah, you are very kick ass." Fuzzy said.
"Thanks, I think."
"Yeah, well there's one thing you have to do." Ace said, in his smooth voice.
"It isn't one of those gay things where I have to sleep with one of you is it?" I asked, and Ace laughed.
"No. You have to prove you're worthy to be called a Cobra."
"And to do that I would have to."
"You have to do me a favor."
"Which is."
"You have to kill someone for me."
"Why can't you do it yourself. What are you pussy?" Ace laughed.
"Cute, real cute. No, it's your initiation."
"I see. So who is this person you want dead?"
"Chris Chambers." Ace said, and my eyes widened. I looked at Eyeball, who looked just as surprised.
"What?" I asked.
"But Ace, I thought you were going to have her go after Eric." Eyeball said.
"I lied. I want Chris dead."
"Ace. That's my brother."
"Which is exactly why you aren't the one who is going to do it."
"Whoa, Ace I can't do that, he's Gordon's best friend, and besides, he didn't even do anything." I said.
"He's alive ain't he?"
"Isn't there something else I can do?"
"You want options?"
"That would be nice."
"Okay, well you either kill Chris, or sleep with a Cobra."
"Those are my choices?"
"Yes. Yes those are."
"Yeah, um, no."
"Neither?"
"Yeah I don't think I like either of those things."
I was appalled at what they had asked me to do. I walked away from them and the lot. Eyeball caught up to me.
"Jess, wait." He said.
"What? What do you want?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I-I don't know."
"I don't want Chris to die, but I want you to be a Cobra."
"What are you saying?"
"I-I don't know exactly."
"Mmm hmm, well, I'm going to leave before one of you says something really dumb."
I said, and went home, where Chris, Ali, Elisa, Vern, Teddy, and Gordon were.
"Hey Jess." Vern said. I didn't look at them, or talk to them, I just went upstairs to my room. I didn't feel like talking to any of them. I plopped down on my bed, and thought about the situation with the Cobras. What did Ace have against Chris, that he would want him dead? Why would he ask me to do it? From what I knew of Ace, he was no pussy. I couldn't do that to Chris.
Just then, there was a knock at my door.
This is really bad, but during the process of robing two more stores, a few of us got a little drunk. Not one of my proudest moments. Well, about three o'clock, Eyeball drove me home.
