Warnings: The same as before though nothing happened, yet.
This is real quick for me to be getting out a chapter, but I don't have school or a job so I guess that can be expected. But when I go back to school it's going to take longer for the chapters to come out, senior year is just going to be hectic, just a warning; Saa on with the fic.
Kudos to these people –

"Had a bad day again,
She said I would not understand,
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing the same old song
She puts me off and puts me on
Left a note and said I'm sorry I
Had a bad day again . . ." Fuel – Bad Day
Reggie walked over to Twister's house and was shocked to see Sam's girlfriend Stephanie open the door.
"Hi Steph, is Clio here?"
"Yeah upstairs, I just came in so I opened the door for you," she answered.
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't know Clio told me in class last block to come over to her house after school, Melinda is going to be here too. In fact, I think she's here now," Stephanie words proved right as Melinda leaned over the banister that was upstairs next to Clio's room and said hi. Standing behind Melinda was Trish who popped out to say hi also.
"Hey Melinda and Trish, Clio called you over here too? I wonder what's up with her," Reggie pondered out loud, and her heart rose because maybe Clio had told another un-important secret. After all why would she invite Melinda, Trish and Stephanie over if she had told Reggie's secret?
Reggie and Stephanie sat down in Clio's room waiting for her to come out of her private bathroom. She came out and sat down on her bed and didn't say anything for about 2 minutes.
"Um Clio? I have things to do and Twister wants to go to the movies tonight, I need to get ready. Would you please tell us why we are here?" Melinda informed. Trish and Stephanie also nodded and told Cleo that they had dates they needed to get ready for.
Reggie's thoughts turned bitter for a moment because she knew that if it had not been for those 3 she would be hanging out with her brothers tonight, not alone once again. She shook her head to clear those thoughts, those 3 were her best friends and she wouldn't be resentful that her brothers were happy.
"Clio I have homework, and you really aren't saying anything so I think I'll leave now," Reggie said as she walked to Clio's door and opened it.
Clio spoke now real fast and rushed and as she spoke she eased her way to stand behind Trish who was standing up. " Now Reggie don't go aggro on me but I told the cheerleaders that you had a nice body and they didn't believe me so then I told them your measurements and they were shocked, now they believe me."
Reggie didn't turn around when she started to speak and that really spooked the other girls. "You told a bunch of no brained-blonde bimbos (she's generalizing there are a lot of non blondes on the squad, no offense to blondes ^_^') my secret!" Now Reggie did turn around but she only slightly raised her voice, she slowly walked back to Clio and stopped a few feet away from her hiding body.
"Not only is my life a hell going to the damn school but you had to go and tell some brainless twits something else they can use to bother me. I don't f-ing believe you, I mean you've done some sh_t before but this is plain stupid. Look at this you've got me cursing, I hate cursing but nope once I deal with the great slut Clio all my sane thoughts leave. Oops out the window goes my sane thoughts not to hurt you," Reggie lunged at Clio and pushing Trish aside grabbed Cleo and knocked her to the ground.
The other girls just stood around in shock before they realize they had to help Clio because they knew that Reggie could do some damage. Reggie was choking a struggling Clio who didn't have a chance to escape; after all she was messing with Reggie. Melinda grabbed Reggie and tried to get her off to no avail, but Stephanie and Trish grabbed Reggie's arms and managed to pull fists of steel away from Clio's neck. Reggie struggled wildly and the 3 almost lost their hold on her, for someone a little on the short side, Reggie was really strong.
"Reggie please stop before something happens," Stephanie pleaded. Reggie got control of her self and shook the 3 girls off her and went to Clio's bed to sit down and relax. Clio was helped off the ground and given a tissue for her busted lip and Trish rushed to get her an ice pack for her swollen eye. Reggie looked at the two scratches on her arm from Clio and deciding that no blood was coming out she looked towards Clio.
"Sorry, but how could you do this to me? I've always dealt with your BS and I've never told one of your secrets but you did this to me. I can't fathom in my mind why you would do such a thing."
Clio took the tissue from her lip and tried to talk, Trish vanished somewhere but Reggie hardly noticed that. "Reggie I was defending you, and myself. The other cheerleaders noticed that I had your homework for chemistry class and they were like why do you have that. So I told them I was doing my homework so then they got on the subject of you and how they just knew you were a lesbian. Then Alicia, Lars ex-girlfriend got snotty and said maybe I was you b_tch. She said that you were really probably a guy and you probably missing some body parts, which is why you changed alone. I got in her face and told her you had a body she would never had and she was like prove it, so I told them your measurements. You should have seen the look on their faces, it felt good to prove them wrong," Clio informed.
"Clio I don't really care what they think about me, I know how to handle brainless pom-pom dummies," Reggie said as she stood up and began to pace the floor with her hand over her face.
"Reggie please calm down, we'll all help you. Besides we're all on the cheerleading squad and I'm the captain so I'll order them to leave you alone," Melinda said trying to comfort her.
"That's not going to work Melinda, they're going to tell everyone and then she'll really be pestered by people. You know how they feel about Reggie and the way we're all friends. Now we have to prove them wrong about Reggie being a dyke or the torture will never stop," Stephanie put in.
"I don't care what they think, long as I don't have to fight. I don't need to get suspended my junior year," Reggie admitted.
"I have a way for you to prove them wrong but you are so not going to like it," Clio spoke up. Reggie looked at Clio and sighed, deciding to listen she felt bad about messing up Clio's face. "You can go to school tomorrow dressed in clothes like we wear and they will be embarrassed because you have a better body than them. Everyone will know so they won't be able to mess with you anymore because everyone can defend you."
Reggie's eyes widened and once again she stalked towards Clio's door. "Thanks for the help you guys, but I'd rather be picked on forever than have to wear the type of clothes that you guys do, no offense," Reggie called as she walked out the door.
Clio stood up and began to run out her door calling at Stephanie and Melinda to follow her.
"Why are we following her Clio? Let her leave if she wants to!" Melinda called as she ran after Clio and Stephanie down the steps.
"AHHHHH!" The scream the 3 girls heard from Clio made them run faster trying to find out what was wrong with Reggie, well at least Stephanie an Melinda rushed, Clio just walked slower as if assured of something.
Outside in front of Reggie's house Trish was standing with her keys leaned against Reggie's car. Trish looked upset but she was holding fast to her position despite Reggie's yelling.
"Trish what the hell are you doing? Are you crazy? Get the hell away from my car," Reggie asked/yelled. (You notice how she's always asking someone if they're crazy?)
"I'm sorry Reggie, but for once I have to agree with Clio, please listen to what she says. I know this is totally going against your code but for once I think you should just throw caution to the wind. I'm tired of you going through sh_t because of everyone else's shortsightedness, and even though you act like you don't f_cking care I know you do. Please do it, if not for us then do it for yourself to make you happy," Trish reasoned.
*_~
"So I went to the mall and they brought me clothes that I never hope you see me in. This is all because your snotty ex picked on your stupid cousin. Okay you know what I'm not even going to call Clio stupid because at least she was trying to defend me, but still it bugs me that she told. I really messed up her face, so when we come by on Friday you might still be able to see the swelling. They made me buy all these clothes like I was going to wear them for longer than a day but I'm not, so by Friday I should be myself. You don't know how glad I am that today is Wednesday, only two more days then I can really talk you ears off. I know you probably get tired of me babbling, but it's your fault that you're available and Sam's busy with Steph. I got your message, I meant to call you up earlier but I was being dragged around the mall being turned into a short skirt-wearing idiot, you probably wouldn't understand. You probably listen to me talk and go yes she's calling me and bugging me but I don't mean to but you seem to listen. Hehe, you're my relief from a bad day, take that as a compliment. But I'm fine really what's wrong with changing my style for one day, right? Look I gotta finish some homework that I didn't get to do earlier, later," Reggie said as she hung up her phone on. That had been a particularly long message; she hoped Lars checked his answering machine or all her talking would go to waste.
She was glad she had talked to someone, even if it had been a machine.
*_*
Lars grinned as he listened to Reggie's message. He was upset that he had missed talking to her but glad she had left a message. He liked hearing her voice; he didn't miss her so much when he did.
'I wonder what they did to her? She really didn't need to dress up to be made beautiful she already is in my mind. I hope they don't change her, her personality made her beautiful along with her classic looks even if she didn't advertise them,' he thought.
^_^
"Hey Sam," Stephanie said as she gave him a quick peck and ran to Reggie's room.
"Hey Twist, take that hat off it doesn't match," he took it off though Melinda didn't notice as she was also running up the stairs to Reggie's room.
Giving Otto a quick kiss, Trish also ran past the guys to Reggie's room. "Go to school without us, we'll meet you in homeroom," she called.
"Women," the 3 said as they ran out the house to get to school.
"_"
"I can't walk out my house like this! Everyone can see my legs, or my calves or whatever," Reggie exclaimed.
Melinda turned her around and looked at her closely. "You would never know you had a big butt with the clothes you wear, guys like girls with big butts you should be happy," she told Reggie.
"Oh yes, I'm just bubbling with excitement that when I get up guys will stare at my butt. This is ridiculous I can't do this, I'm too set in my ways," Reggie tried to explain.
"Reggie if you want your life to get better you have to do this. Besides you look stunning you are going to prove the cheerleading team wrong. Oh wait I am on the cheerleading team, hehe," Stephanie said.
"We just have to finish your hair," Clio stated as she and the others once again moved to pounce. Reggie just gave in and accepted her fate.
*_"
"April Adams, check," the teacher, Miss Kian was taking attendance.
"Diana Budhan, check."
"Sam Dullard, check."
"Megan Frieze, check."
"Devon Harding, check."
"Melinda Hargett, absent." The boys looked at each other, because they knew the girls were supposed to there.
"Symon Isard, check."
"Alicia Jordan, check."
"Barbara Johnson, check."
"Stephanie Nieto, absent." Sam looked at Otto and Twist and shook his head.
"Don Oshin, check."
"Tom Phillips, check."
"Oswald Rocket, check."
"Regina Rocket, absent."
"Clio Rodriguez, absent."
"Maurice Rodriguez, check."
"Trish Turner, absent. Hmm, this is odd," Miss Kian looked at the boys and raised an eyebrow. "Boys, do you know where your sister and her friends are? It is odd that all of them are absent on the same. I'm surprised that Reg-" The class room door burst open then and the 5 girls stepped inside.
"We're here," Reggie and them called out of breath, and walked into the class completely forgetting what she had on. Of course when she fully stepped inside the door everyone gasped in shock, including her brothers. She blushed but tried to hold her head up high as she and her friends waited for their punishment. Everyone was in shock at what she was wearing and they had reason to be.
Reggie had on silver low-hip hugging capris, with a slight mid-riff showing black shirt that read, 'don't drool, cause you look more stupid than usual.' The shirt hugged her upper body setting of breast that had never been there before, and her pants hugged her curvaceous lower body showing hips and a body that seemed to have appeared out of magic. With black and white Adidas and silver ankle socks the outfit was complete. Reggie had her hair pulled in a tight ponytail that was tossed over her shoulder giving her a casual but sensual look. With clear lip gloss on and a little eye pencil she looked like a girl.
The teacher choked on her words as she stared at Reggie and tried to issue a warning. "Since this is your first time being late Reggie you are excused, and are you Trish, Melinda and Stephanie, but you Clio you have detention," the teacher looked at Clio and noticed her slightly swollen face almost skillfully hidden completely by makeup. Think that maybe Clio was experiencing abuse from somewhere; the teacher took pity and excused the detention.
Reggie walked down the isle to her sit in her group with Stephanie, Melinda and Trish. She didn't look up but kept her head slightly down not wanting to look in people's faces. As she passed the jock table that consisted of Devon, Don, Symon and Tom there were catcalls but she ignored them.
The cheerleading table, which consisted of Megan, Alicia, Clio and April, she looked up and was happy to see shock evident on the faces. It actually felt good to best them at something other than sports for once.
At the 'cool' table sat Otto, Twister and Sam. Reggie didn't even want to look in their faces because she would loose her composure and run from the room. At the girl prep table sat Barbara, Megan and Diana and they could not seem to close their mouths. Sitting at her table with her friends Reggie gave a small smile at her friends and tried to reassure herself that this was the right thing to do.
'_'
"I can't believe you got her to wear that," Alicia stuttered out.
"Next to her you 3 look like fat slobs, none of you even come close to having a figure like that or that tight a belly. I guess her being a tomboy has a good advantage, your body totally blow away other girls," Clio gloated.
"You can clean a pig and put it in silk clothing but it will always be a pig, it doesn't matter how you dress her up she's still a tomboy. The guys won't even notice her," Megan snapped at Clio.
"You're beaten and you know it. If the guys won't notice her then why aren't the jocks look away from her, she's not even walking she's sitting down. You guys are a distant thought in their minds now, even Tom won't look over," Clio told them smugly.
"I'll leave her alone and except her as a girl if she joins the cheerleading squad, after all no real girl would be on the street hockey team right?" April said slyly.
"She can do more flips and turns than you 3 will ever imagine and I know she'll join," of course as she was saying this Clio was immediately wishing she could eat her words. Reggie would never agree to this, not in a million years.
-_-
Okay so I wonder if that counts a cliffhanger, guess not. Anyway review let me know what you think, so I can know whether to continue this or not, Ja.
