Chapter 3.
Thx for all the reviews.
--------------------------------------------------------
Neither Sam or Reggie could get to sleep that night. Reggie lay on the couch watching TV, while Sam stared out the window. Both were thinking about the other, wondering how the other was feeling, and what they were going to do.
This was the first time that Sam hadn't done his homework. He couldn't possibly put what he was feeling down into words, let alone poetry. He couldn't wait for the weekend when they were all going to Laser Crates. Sam figured that he could get Reggie alone, and tell her everything before someone else realised how great she was. "I just hope she doesn't say no."
Reggie wasn't in the mood for school the next day. She kept convincing herself it was one more day until the weekend. She kept watching TV, seeing the boy and girl that like each other, ALWAYS end up together.
"Why can't life be that simple?" Reggie said outloud. Looking at the flawless prom queen in front of her, then looking down at her own ensemble. "No wonder! I have it, but I don't flaunt it at all. He probably thinks of me as one of the guys. Why do I have to be such a tomboy?"
"Because you need an excuse to hang out with the best skater in the world." Otto said, making Reggie jump. "Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness. I think I know why you said that, after all, you're watching this. Promise me you won't become one of those anorexic teenage shoobies. You don't want Rocketgirl to stand for something bad, do you? Besides, then we wouldn't have a hockey team."
"For a minute there I thought you actually cared about me, and not just because you need a hockey player." Reggie said sarcastically. She was used to Otto getting back to himself, even when trying to give advice. She went to the kitchen to get herself a drink and came back to see Otto gazing at the TV, like it was a big cheeseburger.
"Otto, do you want a drink?" She asked, seeing him dive at the remote to hide the fact he was watching the soap opera, proving Reggies point.
"No thanks, Im going to bed, goodnight." Otto ran up the stairs.
Reggie went up to her room, rummaging through her closet for something to wear. Finally she pulled out a pair of white hotpants and pink halter top. Trying them on she found they were a perfect fit and looked great. Now the only problem was, getting around Raymundo.
"Reggie! Come on! We're already late for school, dad's waiting!" Otto screamed out. Twister and Sam were downstairs waiting with him. Reggie came down the stairs in her regular outfit, but Sam noticed that today she was wearing a touch of makeup.
Raymundo gave them all a ride to school, Sam sat next to Reggie in the back, looking at her hand and wanting to take hold of it. When he finally worked up the courage, the car stopped for them to get out. Raymundo waved goodbye and drove down the street. Reggie made sure he was gone before taking off her outfit to reveal the hotpants and halter top.
"Are you insane! You can't go into school like that, you wear more clothes at the beach. Raymundo will kill you when he comes to pick us up." Otto stated.
"He's not going to know. Besides, how I dress is none of your business." Reggie turned around to hear some guys whistle at her.
"Relax, Otto. Reggie looks hot." Twister said, causing Otto to give him a death stare.
"Come on Sammy, back me up on this." Otto turned to Sam, who was also staring at Reggie.
Sam had to admit, Otto had a point, Reggie was practically naked. But who was he to complain, she really did look amazing. "Well, it's her descision, right?"
"In other words, Sammy thinks she's hot too." Twister said.
Lucky the bell rang before Otto could say anything. Sam and Reggie walked off to their classroom. All day, Sam could barely concentrate, he just kept staring at her, though he tried to hide it. Reggie noticed Sam looking at her, happy that her plan was working. She looked up and made eye contact with him. He seemed embarassed, but smiled anyway.
"You still up for Laser Crates tomorrow?" Reggie asked him.
"Try and stop me. So, if you don't mind me asking, why the new image?"
"I just felt like a change and I haven't worn these for awhile."
"Reggie, I have something I need to tell you..."
"ROCKET! DULLARD! Perhaps you might want to tell me what is so important. In detention."
"But, we were discussing the poem." Sam said.
"If you don't wish to recieve another for lying, I suggest you be quiet. Detention, both of you, after school."
