I pulled up in front of Holly's drive way and pulled away. She pulled down
the overhang mirror to fix her hair from when she jumped into the jeep. She
then turned down the music enough so we could talk.
"So what's up?"
"You would not believe what happened to me yesterday. It feels like a bad dream but it all happened."
I then went into the retelling of how I met the new kid from English and then found out that he was the cousin of my best friend. By the time I finished, you could have stuck a basketball in Holly's mouth. Her jaw had dropped that low.
"And to think that he likes you."
"He does not like me. I still don't understand how you can say that? He is absolutely not my type. Now Christian Bale or Trey Parker? Those are my type."
We laughed at this comment since one way or another one of us said it, maybe changing the names a bit. Holly liked Gabe Damon and Max Casella and we both like Aaron Lohr.
"Well onto a different matter, what are you doing about the Halloween dance? I talked to the teacher in charge and he said that we're not doing a carnival because it took so long to clean up. That means the dance is going to be even longer this year! Yahoo!"
"That's a good thing. Janice isn't allowed to go to the dance this year because of last years little incident."
"What are you going as this year?"
Holly took a file out of her purse and started to fix one of her nails.
"You've got to tell me first."
I left it at that. Looking out of the corner of my eye, I saw Holly go into a slight pout and then told me.
"I'm going as a hell's angel. Not like one of those bikers but as an angel turned bad. My dress is going to be white, my wings black and my hair straight down. I'm going to have a halo which will be black and my lipstick will be white with black outlining."
Leave it to Holly to think of something creative.
"So what are you going as?"
I pulled into the parking lot and pulled into my regular spot. As we got out of the jeep, I told her.
"I'm going as a Newsie this year. I found the perfect outfit at Goodwill so it'll work. I'm going like Spot cause I found an old key and perfect cane."
Holly looked at me with full shock.
"It's about time you did. You've obsessed about that movie since you first saw it. At least your Brooklyn accent will work."
I nodded and we entered the school.
"I've got to go to the newspaper office first to drop off my article. I'll meet you at the locker."
We waved good-bye and went off in our different directions. With the newspaper office being upstairs, I have to go up and that's one thing I hate. The school is three stories and this is not including the basement where the library is. There is the main floor and the second floor. Then there is the third, which is one spot I don't like. Not because it's spooky and dark hallways, I love that but because it's so high. I am extremely afraid of heights. I had once gone to the CN Tower and when I got up there and looked out, I collapsed onto the ground and curled up into a ball. I was that terrified.
As I got up there, I saw that the light was on in the main room so that meant that the teacher in charged had already been there. I entered and went over to where my desk was. Just as I was opening the drawer to get something out, I dropped my paper under my desk so I got on my knees to fetch it. Just as I did, I heard the door open. I was about to stand up to see who it was when I heard voices and ones that I did not want to hear.
"So where did you go to last night? I finished my work just as you went out the door and when I got to the door to tell you to wait, you were gone."
"Oh I just went for a ride down some of the side roads. I saw this blue jeep at the side of one of them. I thought maybe someone was in trouble but you'll never guess who it was."
"Dodger right?"
I peaked up from my desk and saw that it was Xander and Drake the Dork.
'So it was Dork boy here that squealed off last night.'
I thought to myself. I ducked back under because I saw Xander coming towards my desk area.
"Yeah it was her jeep. I was surprised that she was there and was about to wake her up when I got the idea of squealing off to wake her up."
"Man you're lucky that she won't find that out. You would get another fist in the stomach from doing that."
By now they were standing in front of my desk and I could see the shadows of their feet.
"Hey, Anne got her paper in already. How she does this I'm not sure but it'll help her with her writing."
"Whose Anne?"
"Oh it's Dodger. She writes some of the interest columns under the alias of Anne so no else know it's her. She'll also write the Ask Anne answers and most people wouldn't want to have her as their advisor on certain subjects."
'Oh great tell Dork boy that my alias is Anne. Now if I ever talk to either of them, I won't hear the end of it. I wish they would just go away so I can get out of here.'
"We had better get going. First period is going to start in 10 minutes and I want to try and talk to Dodger before class and maybe try to get her to talk to me. I tried phoning her 5 times last night but her mom said that she wasn't home. The first time she thought that she was over at my place. I'm glad that you found her on the dirt road. She goes there when she's ticked off."
I didn't hear the rest of the conversation for by now they were out of the room. I crawled out from under my desk and stretched my back. I then grabbed my books and started to run for my phys. Ed class. Mr. Johnson does not like it when his students are late.
~*~*Later that day~*~*
Xander's POV
It's lunchtime and I still haven't seen Dodge. This is not like us since we always sit together. I really wish she and Drake had met on better terms than those that they had. Looking up from her interest column, which was very good this week, I saw Drake and Dodge enter the cafeteria by separate doors. Drake came in from the west and Dodge from the east. I waved them both over and Drake got to the table first. Dodge just walked right past us with the 'glare' on her face.
"This is not good. My best friend is still mad at me." I said as Drake sat down.
"What is the big deal with her being mad at you? She's a girl and knowing her, she'll get over it." I looked at him.
"Are you nuts? She is not like any other girl. She will not give up being mad at me for a long time until I make it up to her. She's a Scorpio and man do they hold long grudges. Last time she held one against me, she wouldn't talk to me for 3 months."
Drakes jaw dropped and for a minute I thought that it would hit the table.
"3 months! What did you do to her?"
I took my fork up from the tray and started to play with my pasta.
"I made fun of the Newsies. That is her utmost favorite movie and she talked about how she wish she could meet Christian Bale, Trey Parker, Aaron Lohr and Gabe Damon. Well I was a bit jealous with the fact that she liked these guys so much that I badmouthed their talent and other movies. Now you've got to understand that at the time, I had a crush on her and couldn't stand her liking anyone else."
"Well I can see why you'd be jealous of those guys. They're good actors and great guys."
I dropped my fork and stared at my cousin.
"How do you know that they're great guys?"
"I met Christian on the set of Little Women in 1994. I was one of the gophers and Christian ended up introducing me to the other guys. As it turned out, they ended up hanging out after the movie was done in 1992 and never lost touch. I talked to Christian before I moved here and as it turns out, the 4 of them are getting together again for a Halloween party."
"Where is this party going to be exactly?"
"It's going to be at the dinner hall down town. Aaron is doing a movie in November around here and they decided to hold it here. I've actually got a few passes to it."
An idea sparked in my head.
"Oh man, I've got the perfect idea of how to get Dodge to forgive me. We're having a Halloween Dance on Halloween and Dodger's in charge of it. Do you think the guys would be interested into coming to it and saying hello to her? She would really like it and I know she would be very grateful to you."
Drake's face turned a bright red colour and my guess was right. When Drake told me about how he had seen Dodge on the side road last night, I could tell by the look in his eyes that he liked her.
"Oh you can't hide it from me coz. I've seen tons of guys fall for Dodge throughout high school. You'll have more of a chance if you invite the guys to our Halloween dance. Try asking her to the Halloween dance. Don't tell her about the guys though. That should be a surprise."
Drake nodded into agreement about asking her.
"I'll do it during our spare. I'll take her desk in the library again and so that'll get her attention."
He then stood up and left the cafeteria. One way or another, Drake was going to get her attention but whether or not it was good attention was yet to be figured out.
~*~*With Dodger during Drake's and Xander's conversation.~*~*
As I walked into the cafeteria, the words of Drake saying that he was the person that was in the vehicle that left me last night still ran through my mind. I wanted to talk to Xander and entering, I saw him sitting at our regular table. I started towards it when I noticed that Dork boy was heading that way and got there first. Instead of stopping, I kept on walking. I put the glare look on and kept walking.
'This is going to turn out exactly like when he made fun of Newsies. Well maybe this grudge will last longer.'
I thought as I walked past him. I skipped lunch and went straight to my table in the library. With me, I brought my writing book because I thought my ideas for my current story would come to mind.
Being downstairs I went to my table and started drumming the table with my fingertips. I was mad and if I didn't watch it, I would end up punching something. I took out my writing book and started up ideas for the Halloween dance. What type of decorations would be used and the type of food we would be serving. I guess I was so deep in thought because the next thing I knew books were dropped down in front of me and caused me to jump in my seat. I looked up to see who it was who disturbed me and saw that it was Drake the Dork.
"Oh what do you want? Do you want to get on my case about this being my table because I proved to you yesterday that it was."
He just stood there for what seemed like eternity when I finally decided to leave. I grabbed my books and got up. Drake then decided to grace me with his voice.
"Actually, I was wondering that since there was the Halloween dance coming up at the end of the month, I was wondering whether or not you would like to go with me."
I stared at him in shock. I guess Holly was right about him liking me. I continued to stand there in somewhat shock and then I went ahead and spoke.
"No. I'm going to be too busy to go with anyone since I'm planning everything. Oh look at the time; I've got to get going. I need to meet up with my friend."
I then left the area and went upstairs to meet up with Holly for English class.
~*~*Narrator's POV~*~*
Drake thought he knew that Dodger wasn't going to meet up with her friend. That's what all girls say when they want to get away from him. Well this time, it's going to be different. He sat down at her desk and made out a plan on how he was going to get the girl and she was going to be his whether she liked it or not. A twinkle of insanity and revenge lit up his eyes.
He then realized that Xander wasn't going to believe him about being at her table.
"Well I'll just turn him against her." He thought to himself and started to punch himself in the stomach and face.
"I'll just use the one thing she likes most against her and if I tell the guys my plan minus a few things, they will help me for sure."
Drake said with a slight change in his voice. He then grabbed his books and started off for the English class.
~*~*In English Class~*~*
Dodger's POV
I was still a bit weirded out by the fact that Dork boy asked me to the dance. Normally I wouldn't say no, but he just rubbed me the wrong way when we first met. There was also the look in his eyes that first we met. There was something familiar about him that I just couldn't remember.
And plus the fact that he knows my real name. Sure he's Xander's cousin and all, but Xander never uses my real name unless he's mad at me. I looked from the window and saw him enter the classroom. He looked at me and then went to the back where his seat was. When he sat down it clicked.
"Now I remember. He was the one who gave me my nickname. No wonder he knew my real name if he was there before I became Dodger."
I looked to the back of the class quickly before the bell rang and saw him staring directly at me. He wasn't smiling or anything. His face was a blank stare and I turned around because it was starting to creep me out. I jotted down in my notebook to talk to my friend Fastdancr when I got home. She's a friend of mine that I met over a Newsies site and we've kept in touch.
For once the English class droned on and as soon as the bell rang, I ran to my jeep. I didn't have to give Holly a ride home since she was staying after school to get help with her English project. I drove all the way home and I was lucky that no one was home yet.
Jumping up the steps to my room, I quickly logged on and saw that Fastdancr was already on.
Dodger_McClure Hey Fast, what's up?
Fastdancr Meh, not much. Just finished up my one chapter you?
Dodger_McClure I just got home from school and man have I got news for you. Remember how I told you how I got my nickname Dodger?
Fastdancr Yeah I remember. Something about some guy calling you that.
Dodger_McClure Well as it turns out, that guy was my best friend's cousin. He moved back from California this week and we have not had many pleasant encounters.
I went on and told Fast about what had happened in the two days. When I finished, she replied.
Fastdancr Whoa. And you said no to him for the dance?
Dodger_McClure Yes I said no. And then with me getting this weird look from him during English, it just freaked me out even more and made me glad I said no.
Fastdancr Hmm. oh I've got some good news. As it turns out, I have two weeks off at the end of this month. I decided I needed a break and thought I'd come and visit you. What do you think?
Dodger_McClure That's awesome. I will have some intelligent person around the house then. Janice is getting on my nerves again.
Fastdancr I bet she is.
Just then I heard footsteps downstairs and told Fastdancr I had to go and that we would talk later. As I logged off, a door slammed, which meant that it was Janice who had come home. I decided to stay in my room until dinner when I would quickly eat and then excuse myself back upstairs.
About an hour later, the phone rang and as I picked it up, I guess Janice did as well. She answered the phone before me so I decided to put the phone back. The voice that responded her shocked me. It was Drake.
"Uh hi. Is Dodger there?"
"Like no. Why would you want to speak to her anyways, you sound too cute to go for her."
"Well I was going to ask her out again."
"I wouldn't if I were you. She's like totally not your type. While me on the other hand would love to go out with you."
I decided to then hang up and didn't care if either of them heard me do so.
~*~*Phone conversation after Dodger hung up~*~*
No one's POV
"She's off, so what's the plan? I want to get her back so badly. It's her fault I can't go to the dance this year."
"Don't worry, this plan will work for both of us. I'll get her and you will be able to humiliate her."
"I don't want to humiliate her, I want to get rid of her. Is one part kidnapping?"
A/N: I want to thank all of those who have been patient with me. I've been busy with work and schoolwork to be able to write this story. This one concerns more brainpower. Giant Newsie pics for all of you reviewers and readers.
"So what's up?"
"You would not believe what happened to me yesterday. It feels like a bad dream but it all happened."
I then went into the retelling of how I met the new kid from English and then found out that he was the cousin of my best friend. By the time I finished, you could have stuck a basketball in Holly's mouth. Her jaw had dropped that low.
