Sara and Randy walked outside on the windy fall afternoon. Sara stared at
her passing classmates with great dislike as she muttered, "They walk
around as if they are unaware of their possible demise."
Randy reached over and grabbed her hand, holding it within his once it was in his reach. He grinned and asked, "Are you plotting against them?"
"Naw..." She finally looked at Randy as she answered, "I save most of my great plots for Stu."
Randy nodded carelessly as he began to walk, tugging on her arm like it was a leash. She followed him and asked, "Why do you want to walk and breathe in the toxic fresh air?"
"We need to talk..." Randy answered simply. Sara stopped dead in her tracks, her hand slipping out of his. She questioned sarcastically, "Uh oh! Is the wedding off?"
"No, the wedding is still on," Randy stared at her with a smile on his face. She smiled back with innocence in her eyes as she knew not what he might wish to speak of. She quickly asked in a goofy voice a five year old would use, "Then what?"
"I just want to talk and maybe get to know you more," Randy shrugged. Sara snorted and teased, "What are you? A girl?"
"It's just that you and I never really talk. We always are just fighting and breaking up and talking about how much a bastard Stu is. We should just talk...." Randy shrugged
"Speaking of Stu..." She began as she walked in front of Randy. She took both of his hands into hers and started leading him somewhere as she walked backwards to their destination. As she walked she continued what she was going to say about Stu and asked, "Do you think Stu and Jenna are in love?"
Randy laughed uncertainly as he considered the question. Finally he answered, "Maybe they are. Who knows..."
"I doubt Stu is capable of loving someone," Sara responded, hate for Stu apparent in her voice. She shook her head violently, in a way that made it seem like she was casting Stu away from her mind. Finally, she grinned and asked, "What do you think of redheads?"
"Why?" He was confused by her question. She just rolled her eyes and ordered in a giggly voice, "Just tell me what you think of redheads!"
"They are fine..." Randy answered uncertainly then quickly added, "They are nothing compared to lovely blondes though."
Grinning, she said, "Good answer; just not the one I was looking for."
"Why was is wrong?"
"Blondes used to include Shannon the slutty whore, you know? You've just proved that you want to jump her bones!"
"I don't wish to jump any girls bones!" He defended, meaning to say the only girls' bones he wanted to jump were those of the girl walking with him.
Sara sent him a skeptical stare as she shrieked, "YOU WANT STU'S BODY! I KNEW IT!"
"What?! No, no, no! Just shhh! Where did that come from?" Randy glanced around at the passer-byers nervously.
"Don't you read fan fictions, man? It's a little thing called slash. You never EVER want to read Harry Potter junk about Snape and little Harry. It's DISTURBING!" Sara explained, "You and Stu would be perfect!"
"Oh god... Oh god! OH GOD! That is wrong on so many levels. Why would you say such an evil thing?" Randy replied, bewildered.
Sara kissed Randy quickly and said, "Don't worry, baby! I don't mind if your gay..."
"I'm not-"
She cut in and suggested, "I'm hungry. We should eat."
"Okay," He agreed. "And then you have to tell me why you think that I am Harry and Stu is my Snape."

They sat in the crowded cafeteria beside each other at one of the many long, rectangular tables that covered the red and white room. Both Sara and Randy had plates of mysterious food items set on their blue plastic trays. They were silent as they listened in their surrounding classmates trivial conversation.
Then Kayleigh silently sat across from them, letting her tray echo as it slammed itself down on the table. Sara stared at Kayleigh and asked, "What's up?"
"If ever you walk in on Jenna and Stu having sex never turn to the guidance counselor for help!" Kayleigh insisted.
Sara and Randy exchanged confused looks then Randy asked in amusement, "Was it like porn?"
"There wasn't any porn music or blondes," Kayleigh replied. Right on cue, Sara imitated porn music as she twirled her hair pointlessly. Kayleigh snickered then ordered, "Let's just drop the whole thing."
"So..." Sara absent mindedly stabbed her food with the plastic fork as she asked with a laugh, "Did you see Stu naked?"
"Sara! I'm not talking about it again. Ever!" Kayleigh replied in a firm voice.
Randy looked at Sara and asked suspiciously, "Why do you care if she saw Stu naked?"
Sara sent him a look that was annoyed and menacing. She stood up from her seat, the chair scraping against the floor. She walked behind Randy, her arm gliding across his shoulders. When she made it to his side she leaned against the spot of the table where no one sat. She smirked before a look of false, yet great pleasure spread across her face. She laid back on the table and stared moaning loudly, "Oh GOD! STU! Your body is ORGASMIC! I want it so bad!"
Kayleigh, along with other nameless random people stared at Sara in slight horror and confusion. Randy just looked unamused as he said, "Just shut up and eat your potatoes."
Sara looked shocked as she questioned in disbelief, "That white crap was potatoes?" Randy nodded and she added, "I thought it was skinless chicken."
Randy stared silently and blankly at the blonde for a minute then looked at Kayleigh and asked, "See any good movies lately?"
"Naw... Just shitty Meg Ryan movies," Kayleigh shrugged. Randy nodded and said, "Shame on you!"
Sara, ignoring everyone else, started moaning loudly again as she yelled, "OH MY GOD! Randy! Take me now! I WANT YOUR BODY!"
People stared at the girl as though she was crazy, which she was then continued with their meaningless conversations. The corners of Randy's mouth turned up slightly into a smile. He poked Sara in the side and asked, "Why do you always make a scene?"
She quickly got off the table and returned to her seat. She then asked, "If this was a scary movie who would be more memorable? Me or Nameless Teen #1?"
"Nameless Teen #1 is always in our hearts and minds," Kayleigh answered teasingly. Randy looked Sara over and inquired, "Who are you again?"
"Damn you all!" Sara shrieked, drawing attention to herself once again.
That's when they all noticed Stu and Jenna making their way towards the small group with dreamy, mellowed looks on their faces. Jenna sat down beside Kayleigh and Stu sat next to her, draping an arm around her shoulders as he ignored his tray of food. Sara ignored Stu as she spoke, "Jenna! You're just the ego booster I wanted to see! Tell me, who is a more memorable character? Me or Nameless Teen #1?"
"Nameless Teen #1 owns," Jenna replied, shrugging happily.
"That means nothing coming from the girl who is turned on by Hobbits!" Sara stuck her fist up at Jenna. "Damn you all!"
"I actually think you beat Nameless Teen #1, Sara..." Stu said as he stared blankly at his food.
The blonde narrowed her eyes in suspicion and asked, "Why is that, Stuart?"
"Because...." Stu answered, "You are so god damn annoying that everyone spends all their time plotting your demise. Nameless Teen never gets noticed, thanks to you."
Jenna shook her head at them, looked at Kayleigh and asked, "Are you okay?"
Kayleigh stared at her blankly then glanced at Stu and muttered, "I think I'm gonna go talk to Chip..."
"Awww... Don't leave me, Kayleigh! What will the children think?" Jenna said dramatically as she held on to Kayleigh's wrist to keep her there with them.
Kayleigh just pet the top of Jenna's head and answered in the same dramatic way, "The children will be fine. Well, they'll be fine until they find out that I'm leaving you for other men."
Sara, ignoring everyone else as usual asked, "Do you guys think the killer is plotting to slice and dice me up into a pizza?"
"It depends.... Are you allergic to Italian?" Stu asked, a wicked grin on his face. She shook her head and he said with a definite nod, "You'll definitely become tomorrows lunch."
"No she wont!" Randy defended sternly, sending Stu a knowing look. Stu just replied, "Whatever. As if you have any say in it."
Randy kicked Stu from under the table as if to say "I have more of a say in it then you do." Then he heard Jenna yelp in pain. She looked at him and asked in pain, "Did you just kick me, Randy?"
Everyone looked at him curiously as he answered with the first thing he could think of, "I like your shoes. I just had to touch them."
"Right...." Jenna just stared at Randy blankly for a few minutes then said, "No more playing footsie, okay?"
"Fair enough..." Randy muttered. Sara glared at him and shrieked, "Damn you all!"
"Hey..." Kayleigh said, drawing attention to herself. Her eyes shifted around as she asked casually, "Who do you think is gonna kill our dear friend Sara?"
"Who's the killer?" Stu repeated in an unnoticeably nervous voice. He, Randy and Jenna exchanged all knowing looks.
Before anyone could send random accusations at anyone they all heard a male voice call out from the distance, "HEY SARA!" Random people, most likely with the name "Sara" looked his way. Sara didn't look; she just stared at her food blankly. Randy suggested, "Maybe he's calling you."
"I doubt it..." Sara shrugged and reminded, "Sara is a really common name, you know."
"He looks like he's coming your way," Stu said as he stared at the guy who dashed towards them.
Rolling her eyes, Sara finally looked up just as the guy stood at the edge of their table. She smiled weakly at the familiar face and greeted, "Hi Paul."
Kayleigh, who had been off in her own little world looked up at the newcomer and immediately recognized him to be the Fishman guy with the large earring from the waiting room. Her eyes lit up with interest.
"It's Fishman," The boy corrected Sara as he glance over at Kayleigh, acknowledging their "meeting" earlier that day.
"Whatever you say, Paul..." Sara sighed as she asked, "What do you want?"
Jenna, deciding to ignore the new fellow who joined them, turned to Stu and asked, "Why do guys do that?"
"Do what?" Randy wondered as he glared at Fishman.
She glanced his way before repeating her question in a less vague way, "Why do guys always call each other by their last names?"
Stu looked to actually think the question over before answering simply, "Because we are jackasses...."
"Right..." Fishman eyed Stu questioningly then spoke to Sara, "I was just wondering if you were going to the funeral."
"What funeral?" Sara asked in a lost tone.
"Stevo's funeral..." Fishman answered slightly gravely, still sounding sort of giddy.
Sara fell silent as she looked down at her unfinished plate of food in a reflective manner. Stu said happily, "We'll definitely be there. It sounds like fun...."
"Okay! Cool, man!" Fishman nodded happily.
Sara slowly looked up at him and asked in a distant voice, "Why are you so happy?"
"Oh..." Fishy Fish answered proudly, "I just won a shit load of money!" He looked and winked at Kayleigh as he said, "Gambling problem, my ass...."
They all nodded silently and Jenna mumbled something to herself that sounded strangely like "Toad licker...." Fishman nodded awkwardly and said, "I have to go, I guess..."
"Okay... When is the funeral?" Sara asked.
"Thursday!" He answered and added, "Same day as the big poker game."
Kayleigh grinned slightly, not knowing why exactly. He smiled at her as he said, "Maybe I'll see you around Joyce's office."
Then the boy started skipping off, his large earring blinding random people. As he left they all heard him say to himself, "Shit! I smell like Quigley!"
Jenna stared at Kayleigh in bewilderment as she asked, "Who the fuck is Joyce?"
Sara turned head sideways as she looked upon Kayleigh. She quickly asked accusingly, "You like Mr. Fishy Fishy, don't you?"
Kayleigh just silently smiled as a way to say "Yes...."
"Oh..." Sara said carelessly, "He's dating a girl named Dawn."
Kayleigh looked down at her food sadly. Then Sara said with a head tilt in a preppy, cheerful voice, "Like, Fishman is the new Gerrit."
Rolling her eyes, Kayleigh got up from her seat. She declared blankly, "Sara wants Stu's body."
"I really don't blame her. I mean, look at me!" Stu stroked the top of his head confidently. Sara made a disgusted face then glared at Kayleigh slightly. She blurted out, "Kayleigh saw Stu naked and liked it!"
"It's there to please," Stu shrugged with a grin. Jenna unknowingly started nodded in agreement.
Kayleigh rolled her eyes and blushed out of embarrassment. Clearly upset Kayleigh started walking away silently. Jenna, trying to make everything better called after their departing friend, "I'm sorry, Kayleigh! It's not Sara's fault she's a bitch! She just is sexually repressed!"
"That's right! Just blame me..." Randy mumbled. "... and Meg Ryan movies."
Stu yawned tiredly and said, "Sex is fun... You two should try it."
Randy rolled his eyes and muttered, "Sandra Bullock, Murder By Numbers...."
"What?" Stu questioned in confusion. Jenna and Sara just nodded knowingly. Randy explained, "Murder By Numbers. You know, the movie that is more of a 'How To....' then 'Murder is bad' kind of movie. Well, Sandra says something almost exactly like what you said when she tries to seduce her cop friend."
"Sandra," Jenna repeated, snickering. "You sound like you have a personal relationship with her."
"Who's to say I don't?" Randy raised his eyebrows mysteriously.
"I don't even know why I put up with you," Stu muttered in an annoyed yet mellowed out kind of way. "You are such a geek."
"You say that like its a bad thing," Jenna replied absently as she stared at the others in the cafeteria.
Sara snickered and accused, "You know you want Randy's body. Don't deny it...."
"No. That's just you," Stu replied. His eyes shifted as he added, "...and Sidney...."
"Who?" Sara and Jenna asked instantly. Jenna immediately forgot about the people she was spying on and stared at Stu questioningly. Sara's eyes looked between Randy and Stu, unintentional anger in her eyes.
"Shut the fuck up, man!" Randy reached across the table and smacked Stu in the side of the head. He turned to Sara and reassured, "He's lying..."
Sara looked him over in lostness and asked in a matching tone, "What exactly is he lying about?"
"Randy can have had past girlfriends. Can't he, Psycho?" Stu shrugged innocently.
"Besides.... It's not like you two are really dating," Jenna thought out loud. When Randy and Sara looked at her in a slightly offended way she explained, "You two just break up, cheat on each other, then make up like a day later."
Sara and Randy exchanged offended looks, nodded and silently stood up from their seats. She wrapped one of her arms around of his and declared, "Whatever. Now we'll go off and violate each other since our relationship bothers you all so much."
"Just remember who'll be the first one to go when the killer comes around," Randy shook a fist at Stu and Jenna then walked away with Sara.
Jenna stared after them and commented, "She kind of forgot all about the Sidney chick."
"Was that what you were trying to make happen?"
"Yeah...." She nodded.
Stu's body shifted forward in an odd way. He looked over at Jenna lustfully and asked, "Are you too tired?"
"For what?" Jenna's eyes stared at him in a lost way.
"You know what," He answered, wiggling his eyebrows and making a beast like moaning noise. He leaned over and licked the side of her face.
She, in a slightly offended way, jumped up from her seat and yelped, "God! You horny bastard..." Jenna rolled her eyes and started walking away. Stu didn't really understand what was going on and simply called after her, "Don't leave me, Baby. I'll give you a cookie!"
She continued to exit and he soon chased after her eagerly.

Sara and Randy stood outside in absolute confusion as they saw a mass of news vans scattered in front of their eyes. The many member of the local media consisted of big-haired women running around in high-heeled shoes with microphones in hand as a cameraman taped them questioning the random students. Only one news van stuck out from the rest, the only one that wasn't from channel's one through ten. Randy recognized the logo printed on the white van and immediately knew it to be the van of Top Story.
"What the hell is going on, man?" Sara asked, hoping that Randy held all the answers.
"That's what I wanna know!" Came Jenna's familiar voice from behind them. She soon stood at their side, looking at the media people in lostness.
Randy, still staring at the Top Story news van, answered, "They probably are just now trying to get the scoop on the murders."
"It's been forever since it happened though," Sara pointed out.
Jenna nodded and replied, "The school probably has been trying to keep it from the media."
"Holy shit!" Stu suddenly appeared beside Jenna in a mysteriously ghost like way.
Randy eyed Stu acknowledgingly then suggested, "One of you girls should go and get interviewed."
"There will be plenty of time for that later," Jenna said with a grin.
Randy still kept his eyes on that one News van. His eyes widened when the sliding side door slowly flew open. After seeing who was crawling out of that van he blurted out in shock and dismay, "Fuck...."
The familiar face of a woman he had seen not long ago emerged from that van. A woman everyone knew to be Gale Weathers.

This is my last update until I leave for Florida tomorrow. I'll be back in a little while. I hope you like the chapter. Keep on trucking.
Randy reached over and grabbed her hand, holding it within his once it was in his reach. He grinned and asked, "Are you plotting against them?"
"Naw..." She finally looked at Randy as she answered, "I save most of my great plots for Stu."
Randy nodded carelessly as he began to walk, tugging on her arm like it was a leash. She followed him and asked, "Why do you want to walk and breathe in the toxic fresh air?"
"We need to talk..." Randy answered simply. Sara stopped dead in her tracks, her hand slipping out of his. She questioned sarcastically, "Uh oh! Is the wedding off?"
"No, the wedding is still on," Randy stared at her with a smile on his face. She smiled back with innocence in her eyes as she knew not what he might wish to speak of. She quickly asked in a goofy voice a five year old would use, "Then what?"
"I just want to talk and maybe get to know you more," Randy shrugged. Sara snorted and teased, "What are you? A girl?"

"They are fine..." Randy answered uncertainly then quickly added, "They are nothing compared to lovely blondes though."
Grinning, she said, "Good answer; just not the one I was looking for."
"Why was is wrong?"
"Blondes used to include Shannon the slutty whore, you know? You've just proved that you want to jump her bones!"
"I don't wish to jump any girls bones!" He defended, meaning to say the only girls' bones he wanted to jump were those of the girl walking with him.
Sara sent him a skeptical stare as she shrieked, "YOU WANT STU'S BODY! I KNEW IT!"
"What?! No, no, no! Just shhh! Where did that come from?" Randy glanced around at the passer-byers nervously.
"Don't you read fan fictions, man? It's a little thing called slash. You never EVER want to read Harry Potter junk about Snape and little Harry. It's DISTURBING!" Sara explained, "You and Stu would be perfect!"
"Oh god... Oh god! OH GOD! That is wrong on so many levels. Why would you say such an evil thing?" Randy replied, bewildered.
Sara kissed Randy quickly and said, "Don't worry, baby! I don't mind if your gay..."
"I'm not-"
She cut in and suggested, "I'm hungry. We should eat."
"Okay," He agreed. "And then you have to tell me why you think that I am Harry and Stu is my Snape."

"No she wont!" Randy defended sternly, sending Stu a knowing look. Stu just replied, "Whatever. As if you have any say in it."

Kayleigh grinned slightly, not knowing why exactly. He smiled at her as he said, "Maybe I'll see you around Joyce's office."
Then the boy started skipping off, his large earring blinding random people. As he left they all heard him say to himself, "Shit! I smell like Quigley!"

She, in a slightly offended way, jumped up from her seat and yelped, "God! You horny bastard..." Jenna rolled her eyes and started walking away. Stu didn't really understand what was going on and simply called after her, "Don't leave me, Baby. I'll give you a cookie!"
She continued to exit and he soon chased after her eagerly.

Sara and Randy stood outside in absolute confusion as they saw a mass of news vans scattered in front of their eyes. The many member of the local media consisted of big-haired women running around in high-heeled shoes with microphones in hand as a cameraman taped them questioning the random students. Only one news van stuck out from the rest, the only one that wasn't from channel's one through ten. Randy recognized the logo printed on the white van and immediately knew it to be the van of Top Story.
"What the hell is going on, man?" Sara asked, hoping that Randy held all the answers.
"That's what I wanna know!" Came Jenna's familiar voice from behind them. She soon stood at their side, looking at the media people in lostness.
Randy, still staring at the Top Story news van, answered, "They probably are just now trying to get the scoop on the murders."
"It's been forever since it happened though," Sara pointed out.
Jenna nodded and replied, "The school probably has been trying to keep it from the media."
"Holy shit!" Stu suddenly appeared beside Jenna in a mysteriously ghost like way.
Randy eyed Stu acknowledgingly then suggested, "One of you girls should go and get interviewed."
"There will be plenty of time for that later," Jenna said with a grin.
Randy still kept his eyes on that one News van. His eyes widened when the sliding side door slowly flew open. After seeing who was crawling out of that van he blurted out in shock and dismay, "Fuck...."
The familiar face of a woman he had seen not long ago emerged from that van. A woman everyone knew to be Gale Weathers.
