Ok, hope you guys liked the first chap. I'm bored out of my mind, so I think I'll write the next one now.

Ren Stevens had gone to the mall. Checking out the selection, she looked for five of the sexiest tops she could find. After going to J.C. Penny, and having no luck, she decided to go to a store called "My Body", which specialized in sexy clothing. She found three halter tops, a baby-tee, a midriff top, four pairs of hip-huggers, and a pair of shorty-shorts. She figured that, given all the work she's done for the school, they'd let five little dress-code violations slide. She also bought some stuff for her hair, and a leather jacket. Then she went to a store called "Beautify Me", and bought three colors of lipstick, a pallet of eyeshadow colors, some lip-gloss, and some more stuff for her hair.
She couldn't wait to see Larry's face.
Coming into school, Larry half expected to see Ren by his locker, begging to be let out of the bet. He'd let her go easy. Let her scrape by with a B. Let her tell the entire school that she was an idiot.
That's when he heard them.
Whispers. Everyone was talking about something, like it was some national crisis. He perked up his ears at the sound of a name:
Ren.
"Have you SEEN Ren today?"
"No, but I heard."
"What's she look like?"
"Wait, wait, wait! Shhhh! Here she comes!"
Larry whipped around and caught sight of something he never, EVER expected to see.
"Hi, Larry." said a very... interesting looking Ren. Her long brown hair had been curled and streaked with red. A bright, fire truck red that matched her midriff top. She was also wearing hip-huggers, which were black and had red sparkly bubble-letters all over it. She wore black high-tops, which were also new. Larry's mind went blank. Ren? This is REN??? Oh my God!
"Wa-wa-wassup?" Larry was totally in shock. Was this REN? No way. Why was she dressing up like this? Oh yeah, the bet. He had nearly forgotten for a moment.
Ren giggled, and said in a very ditzy voice, "I was, like, just passing by, and I, like, totally forgot to ask. Did you, like, HEAR what happened to Daisy McIntosh over the weekend? She, like, totally got caught stuffing her bra. Isn't that just, like, so sad?"
She's good at the ditz act, I'll give her that much. But two can play at that game, Stevens. Larry thought.
Larry took out a pair of glasses he only wore when he had to, and put them on. Then he said in a very geeky voice, "I must say, I am very disappointed in the students of this school. Gossip is cruel and hurting to people. We must put an end to this art of cruelty as soon as possible, and think of our friends. Lets try and stop this nonsense, and join together in this common cause."
Larry watched as Ren chewed her gum, staring at him blankly. When he was done his speech she said "Yeah, ok, whatever, so any way...." She continued talking until the bell for first period rang.
"Well, I gotta get to class. Education is one of the most important things in–" Larry was cut off by Ren, who said "Oh whatev, I'm just gonna ditch first period. I'll see ya later!"
Ren walked away, and whatever Larry had been thinking about before he talked to her left his mind completely. As she walked down the halls, she got a range of wolf whistles and cat-calls from most of the jocks in the hallway. Larry went flaming with rage. What the hell are they thinking??? They can't treat Ren like that! She deserves more respect than that! He carefully went up to the nearest jock, and "accidentally" tripped him as he tried to move towards Ren.
He wanted it to make him feel better, but somehow, it didn't.
Ren was feeling weird. Larry had made it seem like she only went for the straight-and-narrow type. The type who never wanted anything but an A+. Well, she'd show him.
She scoured the halls looking for a sign of Larry. Sure enough, he was by his locker, talking to one of his pin-head friends. Hmmm.... I think I just got a very interesting idea. As she made her way towards his locker, Ren saw Larry and the boy he was talking to stiffen. They heard her footsteps and were obviously talking about her.
"Hey Larry. Ooo, who's your friend?" She said in an extremely flirtatious tone. She caught the scowl on his face before turning her face to the other boy.
"Oh, pardon," Larry said an a fake nerdy voice, "This is my friend Kevin. Kevin, may I present Ren Stevens."
"Dude, you totally may!" said the obviously smitten Kevin, who was now hypnotized by the body of the woman before him.
Hook, line, and sinker. Ren thought confidently, as she continued her conversation with Larry's friend.
Memo to me: Lock Kevin in his gym locker after school. Larry watched the now extremely sexy Ren Stevens flirting with his now ex-friend Kevin.
"So, you're on the track team, right?" Ren was asking. She was batting her very long eyelashes, making Larry's blood boil.
"Yeah, and I'm pretty fast. I won the last meet." Kevin said proudly.
"Well, I'm a reporter for the school newspaper. I'm sure everyone would just, like, love to hear your story. Can I get an interview?" Ren looked at the boy with pleading eyes.
"Uh... sure, Ren." Kevin said.
"Like, awesome! Come to my place Friday, around–"
"Ooh, I'm so sorry," Larry interrupted her "Kevin won't be able to make it on Friday. He has a date with his GIRLFRIEND OF FOUR MONTHS, Dana. Come to think of it, he's busy all this AND next week. Maybe another time."
"Oh, I'm so totally sorry! Maybe next time!" She winked at Kevin, touched Larry's cheek, and walked down the hall towards the computer lab.
"Dude!!! What'd you do that for?" Kevin looked mad. Time for an excuse.
"Uh, dude, you don't even wanna go near that chick. She's got a boyfriend. And he's somethin' to worry about."
"Oh," Kevin looked both relieved, and thankful "Thanks dude. I didn't know."
"Don't mention it. Just spread it around, so nobody gets hurt." Larry said. As Kevin walked off, Larry thought about everything.
Why was he so absorbed in the Ren thing? Why was he always thinking about her now, or even before the bet? He'd always had her on his mind. Why'd he always get that stupid feeling every time she touched him? Why'd his mind start to wander every time he'd thought about her, until he saw himself holding her, kissing her... Why'd she make him feel crazy?
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were falling for her... One voice in his head said.
No I'm not, SHUT UP! Another one said.
Face it. Now that this new, sexy Ren is in the picture... The first one said.
She was always sexy– WAIT! I did NOT just think that!! The other one said.
Larry forced himself to stop thinking about it, and continued on his way to class. He looked through his notebook, trying to study, when his attention was drawn by the test scores on the board. He looked at the scores and....
"Awwe damn... tied again!!"
