A/N: Hi! Here I sit in the sweltering, unbearable heat, wondering how it is
possible that last week I was in jeans and a sweatshirt and I am now in
shorts and a tank top. Also I brood over the papers waiting to be written
and celebrating my final in economics being cancelled and the fact I am
alive after my best friend and I drove through a massive thunderstorm. And
I am also about to give you another short and sweet chapter to celebrate my
being alive (I swear, my life literally flashed before me) anyway, onto
some notes to my readers.
Mistress of Balmoral: Good luck! Thanks for reading and hope you continue to r/w/r!
LilVickiRyan: I know that feeling, poor yoou, hope things work out. Glad you like! Stay tuned!
Angel9220042004: Thank you. It's odd, but cute, I think. Maybe it is her, gotta keep reading to find out!
Damson rhee: Thank you and you're welcome! I know it was short, I'll make them longer soon, I promise, just right now, me making mini updates is keeping me from going nuts, lol! Stay tuned!
Becky Lucinda: Thank you and good luck to you too! Glad you like and stay tuned!
Amelia: Thank you, she is the one with the red hair. Stay tuned!
Underwell: Thanks, I honestly am not sure, it depends on where I take it, but I'm gonna say at least 25-30 for now. Hope you keep reading!
Almost a month after the gang at Washington High returned from their holiday break things were slowly going back to normal. The Diggers were still digging, although it was no longer to see if they could get to China, but rather for other, more, um, adult reasons, Guru kid was giving advice on how to not get caught having sex in public, and of course the gangs were still fighting with each other, but they were less physical fights (for now) Things were normal, too normal, in fact, which is why no one was really shocked about the events that unfolded that had the potential to change many lives.
"Come on girls, hurry up! I need to deliver these Winter Candy Grams before class begins," Sammi cried as she ran into the school, her other friends close behind.
"We're coming, how many did you sell?" Jenn asked as she tied her hair back into a ponytail.
"I think the squad sold a total of four hundred, meaning we are on our way to having enough money to go get new uniforms." Sammi answered as she handed out Candy Grams to those who recieved them.
"And how many did you send to Hustler Kid?" Jessie asked with a sly grin.
"Well, how many did you send Skeenz?" Sammi shot back laughing.
Jessie blushed. "Only about two, or five," she mumbled, looking down at her feet. "But I did it because I know how important this cheerleading thing is to you, although I can't understand why."
"Sammi, did Lawson send me one?" Vicki asked hopefully, her mind still on the break up and how much she wanted to be with him.
"I'm not at liberty to discuss that, but I got the one you sent him, and all of the ones the rest of you brought," Sammi answered. "Thanks for the support you guys, it means a lot to me,"
"You're welcome, you're your friend, so we support you," Kellie told her with a smile.
"Yeah, plus it was an excuse for us to do something nice for the guys," Spinelli added, sneaking a glance at TJ as he opened the Candy Gram that one of the other cheerleaders stuck to his locker. "Although I hope he realizes I sent it."
"You mean you didn't sign it?" Gretchen asked as she adjusted her top that revealed enough midriff and cleavage to violate dress code.
"Hun, how are you going to wear that and not get in trouble?" Jenn asked with concern.
"Like this," Gretchen took a button down shirt out of her bag and put it on, buttoning the three bottom buttons.
Spinelli rolled her eyes, sick of her best friend who seemed to be ruining her life more and more. "Gretch, that's not---"she began, but Gretchen interrupted her.
"Save it, I am hot and you're not, now if you will excuse me, I am going to see if I can make a date with Gordie," Gretchen walked off doing what she thought was a sexy catwalk, but looked more like she was trying too hard to be something she wasn't.
"OK, we need to do something to get her to snap out of it, otherwise I don't know how much longer I can be friends with her." Jessie said, glaring at the back of Gretchen's head.
"I know, but what can we do? "Spinelli said distractedly, still staring at TJ, who was by his locker talking to King Bob.
"Girl, if you stare any harder, you are going to burn holes into the poor guy!" Vicki teased.
"Oh, let her be, we were all like that at one point or another," Kellie reminded her.
"True, you ready to go? I have about ten more to give out, and I want to get them out before class" Sammi said.
"Out of those ten, how many are for Hustler Kid?" Jessie asked again.
"I didn't get any of the ones I sent him. These all happen to be for a
certain guy who is a Legionarie and is about 6 feet tall----"
"I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about," Jessie said turning red.
"I'm kidding, only one is for your man, the others are for various other people on campus."
"I was gonna say, I only sent him one of each, after all, it is our anniversary tomorrow," Jessie said with a smile
"That's right, it's six months now?" Jenn asked.
"Yep, six months and I am so happy,"
"It's wonderful," Kellie grinned. "King Freddie and I are at almost eight months, so I know what it is like to be so happy."
"You know, I am glad things seem to be going back to normal," Spinelli said, wanting to get off the subject of boyfriends. "I never thought things would go back to normal after Frank died. It was hard at first, but I am glad we can actually joke around like this without having to feel guilty."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Vicki agreed. "It seems like things are finally back to the way they are supposed to be."
"Hey, there's Ashley Q!" Jenn said, waving to their new acquaintance.
"She looks upset, I wonder if she's ok," Kellie observed.
"Hey can I talk to you guys?" Ashley Q asked when she approached them. She looked as if she was crying, something that was unusual for her.
"Sure, what's up?" Spinelli asked. "You ok?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about," Ashley Q. responded. "Can we all talk in the girls room real quick? The one no one uses? I don't want anyone to hear what I have to say."
"OK. We have about five minutes before the bell," Jessie began walking toward the bathroom, the other girls following.
"So what happened?" Jenn asked as she sat on the couch on the side of the restroom. (we actually have something similar to this in my school)
"Well, something big that..." Ashley Q began, her eyes filling with tears.
"Whatever it is, you have us. And KJ, which reminds me, he sent you two candy grams," Sammi said, handing them to her. "Maybe these will brighten your day." Ashley Q looked at them and began to cry, looking down at her hands and occasionally touching her stomach.
"What's the matter? It can't be that bad, and if it is, you have us, like Sammi said." Vicki assured her.
"You guys, I think I'm pregnant," Ashley Q blurted out.
A/N: I know, odd, but I needed something to make Ashley Q break. I actually did sell Candy Grams and deliver them my freshman year and it was so much fun, although we didn't sell quite as many as they did in the fic. The teasing was just good natured teasing we did all the time in high school whenever we had stuff like Candy Grams. (Gosh, I feel so old, lol) Anyway, who's the daddy? How will everyone react? Is she pregnant at all? Gotta keep reading to find out! Pease read and send me plenty of soul hugs, since I am going to need them to get me though finals! I'll update ASAP, which means best case scenario tomorrow and worst case after finals next week! Thanks and happy reading!
