"Hey Fulton?" Meredith looked up from her sketch pad. It was a week later and
they were sitting in her bedroom relaxing. It was a three day weekend and both
had been looking forward to it.
"Yeah?" The Bash Brother kept his eyes fixed on the TV in front of him, Charmed
was on and Rose McGowan distracted him easily
"Who was that guy that got in trouble in English today?" Merry asked quietly
"You mean the one that wasn't me?"
"Uh huh."
"Bryon Riley, why?" That got his attention, well that and the fact the show was
at commercial break
"I dunno, just curious I guess."
"Please don't tell me you like that dude."
Meredith laughed and picked up another colored pencil from the case
"Like him? I didn't even know his name, come on Reed give me a little credit."
"Good cuz I think he's a totally prick, and if you got mixed up with him, he'd
hurt ya, then I'd have to kill him. Murder in the first degree doesn't look good
on college applications." The program he'd been enthralled in shortly before was
now back on and he couldn't be less interested "So why do you care who he is
anyway?"
"I dunno, cuz he's sort of cute. Is there a rule against me finding him
attractive?"
"He's not your type." Fulton declared matter of factly popping a Hershey
miniature in his mouth from the bowl on Merry's dresser
"What pray tell is my type?" The girl raised her brows intrigued
"Not Bryon Riley."
"Why not?"
"Because his whole family is full of rich, conceded, assholes."
"Wow very uncool. You know you're getting quite worked up. Why is that?"
"Ever heard of Rick Riley?"
"Yeah, he was the captain of the varsity team last year, he was all over the
newspaper. Ooh, I get it, Bryon's Rick's brother, the one that didn't make JV
because of you guys. I remember Charlie coming into the diner complaining about
that last year."
"Exactly."
"It's so sweet of you to worry Fulton." Merry rolled off her bed landing in his
lap on the beanbag chair. She wasn't the kind to grin and goof around but Fulton
brought out the smiley person inside of her without even trying. He was the best
friend she'd ever had.
"You're one weird girl." He observed "What do you got for CD's?"
"A little bit of everything." She got up and walked over to her stereo and
pushed play. She had a five disc changer and the first CD that came on was Faith
Hill, to which Fulton crinkled his nose. Giving the same reaction to O-Town,
Eminem and Elton John. Luckily for her the last one was Green Day, that he could
stand in small doses.
"I'm getting you a Slipknot album for Christmas."
"Please don't."
"Kid's dinner!" Mrs. Rice called from the kitchen "Fulton are you staying for
supper?"
"Am I staying for supper?" The enforcer whispered to Meredith as they headed
toward her bedroom door
"Do you wanna?" Merry answered his question with one
"What are ya having?"
"Chicken and mash potatoes I think."
"Yeah I'll stay."
After dinner Merry walked Fulton to the end of the street and as he disappeared
down the block she wondered if Bryon could really be the evil jerk her friend had just arned her of. It had been him in fact that had helped her out that day when she couldn't get her locker open, before first period. He seemed nice enough and was definately handsome, but he disappearred before she got to thank him. Then in English he was deep in making a scene and getting in trouble, so she didn't bother to talk to him at all then. Still he'd been the only person other then Fulton to be kind to her. So wanted to see where that would leaned too. All she knew was she was in for one hell of a three days.
