They pushed past as many students as they could, bumping and shoving their way to the other end of the crowded frat room. Shane held the lead, then Trevor and Stu followed close behind.
The noise was almost deafening as the others chatted and stomped around the somewhat large room. Shane's slender form squeezed past the small group that lined the left wall, barely brushing against the blonde boy beside her. Unfortunately Trevor wasn't as lucky, he pushed through, stepping on the muscular boy's foot by mistake.
"Hey!" the blonde boy spat angrily, beer in hand as he stared down at his shoe in amazement. "That pud-whapper just stepped on my foot!" he declared in drunken fury.
"Barry... calm down!" his preppy girlfriend begged from his side, he didn't seem to take her advice.
"Hey! Jerk off!" Barry called to the boy who had stepped on his foot confidently, Trevor and Stu turned back in his direction.
"What?" Trevor asked a bit confused as he narrowed his stare on the blonde boy who now came towards him.
"You stepped on my foot idiot!" Barry alerted him, Stu looked the boy over questioningly, he was tough looking but not quite as tall as Stu was.
"And?" Trevor asked as if he had done nothing, this only made the boy turn a dark shade of red.
"And so what you gonna do about it?" Barry smarted meanly, reaching out and pushing Trevor forcefully in the middle of his chest.
Trevor looked him over closely, holding in as much rage as he could, just as he was about to say something he felt an eager tap on his right shoulder.
"Hey..." Shane said from behind him, leaning her head against his. "Why don't ya come over here and leave the child's play for school hours..." she suggested temptingly, pulling at him slightly to follow her away from the dispute that was about to ensue.
Stu continued to look the boy over as Trevor turned back in the previous direction and began to walk away with Shane.
"What the fuck are you looking at?" Barry then shouted in Stu's face demeaningly, Stu only snickered a laugh at him before slowly walking away as well.
"Dumbass..." Stu mumbled under his breath as he found his way back to his two friends.
Maggie and Jasper made their way through the door, immediately looking around for anyone they recognized.
"God I hate these parties... why do you have to drag me here?" Jasper asked her roommate drearily.
"Ask Stu, he's the one who dragged me here..." Maggie muttered dryly, pushing her way through the crowded room.
"We're gonna get outa here..." Shane said finally, gesturing towards Trevor as she stood up from her seat.
"We?" Stu chuckled at her words, the way a school child would on the playground.
"Shut up man!" Trevor snapped, standing up as well.
"Bye Stuey..." Shane laughed slightly with a small wave.
Stu only shook his head at them as they disappeared from his sight.
"Hey!" he then heard someone say loudly from a few feet away, he turned to see the blonde boy from earlier talking to someone out of Stu's eye line.
"Ya want a piece of this baby-doll?" Barry asked the girl in the sexiest voice he could muster in his drunken state.
"No... not really!" the girl spat back unimpressed and annoyed, Stu's head shot back up as soon as he recognized the female voice to be Maggie's.
Stu was on his feet in seconds and striding over to where the boy stood in a matter of moments. He walked up behind Barry and forcefully tapped him on the shoulder, the boy spun around with a look of frustration his face.
"What the fuck do you want now?" Barry squawked at him, Stu answered his question by punching him as hard as he could in the face.
"Stu!" Maggie screamed at the sight of what he had just done.
"What?" Stu asked her innocently as if he had done nothing, shaking his right hand in the air from the sudden pain in his knuckles.
Barry leaned against the nearby couch, trying to keep his balance as he moaned in agony, blood now streaming from his bottom lip.
"Dickhead!" the blonde boy barked before stumbling away from the two, trying to keep as much dignity as he could.
"Asshole!" Stu retorted under his breath, Maggie only glared at him unamused.
"What was that all about?" she asked him suspiciously while shaking her head at him in shame.
"Hey! He messed with me first!" Stu defended, pointing at the direction Barry had left. "This whole thing started long before you got here!"
"I see... so it's his fault?" She questioned in little belief.
Stu only shrugged his shoulders, sending an unusually sweet innocent smile in her direction, she only rolled her eyes at him. As she made her way past him he glanced back to where Barry had retreated, a dark look of loathing filled Stu's eyes before following Maggie into the next room.
"So..." Stu cooed to her in a deep voice once they entered their new location, which turned out to be the small and confining kitchen area to the house.
Maggie turned around to see him carefully shutting the door behind him.
"What are you doing?" she asked him suspiciously, taking a few steps closer to him.
"What do you think?" he asked lustfully, placing his hand on her hip, he then began to pull her body closer to his.
"Stu..." she sighed in frustration to his behavior.
"What?" he then questioned in a lost manner, she only glared at him seriously.
"Why do you always do this?" she asked him with irritation, he only scoffed at her unamused.
"Me? What about you!" he then spat angrily, pointing in her direction accusingly, Maggie only shrugged her shoulders to answer him. "Every time it's the same thing... we fool around, you get me going and then when I want to do something about it you say 'No, don't, I have to put on the innocent school girl façade!'" he complained to her aggravated.
"I'm sorry I can't always be a horny rabbit like you!" she retorted meanly. "I mean looking at linoleum makes you want to jump my bones whether I'm in the mood or not... and its not like I have to do very much to 'get you going'... you do a pretty good job at getting yourself going!" she then complained to him harshly. "You're like a homicidal Energizer Bunny of lust!" she added cruelly before turning her back on him to walk away.
Stu glared at her heatedly before impulsively reaching over and grabbing the nearest weapon he could find. He raised the large pair of scissors in his hand, aiming the sharp metal tip at the brunette's back.
Maggie paused before she left the room, she then slowly turned around to face Stu once again.
Seeing the change in her movements he quickly placed his raised hand behind his back just in time before she turned towards him.
"Look..." Maggie started to say, pausing briefly to question the shocked and overly innocent look now on Stu's face before brushing the thought off to continue speaking. "I know I turn you down a lot... and its not because I don't want you..." she explained, he raised his eyebrows curiously at her words, the kitchen shears still hidden behind his back. "I just have a lot on my mind lately, you understand?" she said apologetically.
"I understand..." he immediately agreed with an innocent nod. "I shouldn't push you so much..." he then finished with a charmingly sweet smile which caused her to kindly grin back in response.
"I'm gonna go... I have Poetry homework to do..." Maggie told him, she then turned her back on him again to leave.
Stu stopped thinking for a moment, about what she was saying to him anyway, he grasped the scissors in his clenched fist tighter behind his back. His knuckles turned white as he thought intently on using the new found weapon for evil.
Maggie opened the kitchen door and stepped out of the room, leaving to go back to her dorm. The sound of the raging party outside snapped Stu back to reality, he removed the scissors from behind him and stared at the glistening metal now before him.
With an almost ashamed shake of his head he knocked the thought of hurting Maggie out of his troubled mind for good... well for the night anyway. He then looked up at the open doorway leading into the living room of the frat house, at that moment another thought occurred to him.
