Hey there! BE ASSURED ALL WILL BE RIGHT SOON!!!! Patience, Muffy, patience. I will make sure those three get what they deserve. ^.^
-------
I feel like pure shit right now, literally. I guess I'm the first one on the bus today. That's a first. I fall into my seat and sit against the window, pressing my forehead against the glass. I hope to god Jesse isn't here today. It's only Friday. I'm taking her out tomorrow. Of course, she did steal my phone number from someone (and when I find out who I'm going to pummel them).
But who is more important to me: Bulma or Jesse? Bulma is the closest friend (well, at least friend-who's-a-girl) I've ever had. As soon as we met we just clicked. Jesse just seems to be one of those middle school crushes you get every time you think someone's hot.
"Yah, he totally believed my story," I hear Jesse's voice. I look around and notice it's coming from the window in the seat opposite me.
"Don't worry, I'll move back," I tell the bus driver, sliding into the seat. I flatten my hair and peer down through the window at them. I hope they don't see me. A few more kids are getting on the bus and looking at my like I'm nuts.
"Really? What a complete idiot!" I hear a preppy voiced Meg say. Laura nods in agreement. God! What complete bimbos they all are.
"So what'd you tell him?" Laura asks, twirling a strand of her dirty blonde hair. I roll my eyes at the gesture, but continue to listen.
"Wait, how do you know he's not on the bus?" Meg asks, looking up at my seat. I quickly duck, making sure that my hair is still in place.
"Oh, he never gets on until the bus is practically leaving," Jesse says. I think the coast is clear now. I look down at them again.
"I told him that you guys were insanely jealous of our friendship and that you were trying to break it apart so you could buddy up with each of us," Jesse said casually, shrugging. Meg smirked.
"Wow. I never knew you were such a good liar!" she said, giving her a high five. Jesse smirked as well.
"Well, it's not that hard when the person you're lying to is a complete idiot! He never suspected that I was trying to get back at Bulma by breaking up her friendship with her new best friend. All I had to do was play the annoying, talkative girl like Bulma is and reel him in," she announced.
"I gotta go. He's probably going to get on the bus soon," she said. I quickly slide back into my assigned seat and sit against the window. I quickly shove on my headphones and snap my CD player on. I close my eyes quickly, hearing her coming up.
She looks slightly shocked (and afraid) as she notices me. She seems to relax when she sees I have my headphones on. I learned how to fake closing my eyes a long time ago.
"No one calls me an idiot," I tell myself viciously. How could I have been so incredibly stupid? I snap an eye open and look at her, pretending I've just noticed she's got on. I then look out the window, glad that she doesn't kick me out. I like sitting by the window, looking at the views. But I'd never tell 18 that. I'd only tell Kakarot such things, since he'd probably forget the next day anyways. He's the one I confess to.
I'll have to think of a plan to get back at Jesse for both Bulma and me. I might as well get the other two while I'm at it…
-----That night----
After finishing my conversation with 18, I hang up the phone. She'll be calling any minute now.
"RRRRIIIIINGGGGGG!!!!" I hear it a few minutes later. I immediately run over to the phone, lingering my hand over the receiver. I have to act like I wasn't expecting her call. So, I let it ring for a few seconds and then pick it up.
"What do you want?" I say into the receiver. That's my universal phone greeting.
"Hey, it's me. So when are you going to pick me up?" she asks.
"Uh, 7:30," I say, acting like I have no idea and I'm guessing.
"Great! Ok, cya tomorrow! I'm going to wear my best outfit!" she squeals. I roll my eyes.
"Oh, invite those two friends of yours," I order.
There's a pause. "Why?" she asks.
"My mom won't let me single date," I lie. Heheh. I'm just as good a liar as you are, Jesse.
"Oh, ok. Kewl with me. Mine don't either. Had to lie to them. I guess now it's not technically a 'singe' date now, huh?" she asks slyly.
"My point exactly," I say.
"Who are you bringing?"
Shit. Um… think, think, think…
"No one. I like to keep it in the technicalities." Vegeta, you are one good son of a bitch.
"I see," she says. I can picture her smirk.
"Well, gotta go," I say. "Cya!" I hang up, laughing. This is going to be great.
-----Saturday Night----
Okay, keep it cool. Don't blow it all. And second of all, try to keep the bitch from trying to kiss you.
I knock on the door. Jesse immediately opens it.
"I'm almost ready," she says, a look of panic on her face. "Gimme a minute!" she says, beckoning him inside. She scrambles upstairs to her room. Minute my ass…
----30 minutes later----
"You're lucky I know better than to pick a girl up on time," I mutters to her as she comes down the stairs.
"What do you mean?" she asks, frowning.
"The movie starts at 8:30. I knew girls are always 30 minutes late," I explain, shrugging.
"Well, at least you get to see me in my pretty white dress!" Jesse exclaims. "I even told Meg and Laura to wear white dresses, too!"
I smirk. "White. Perfect."
Jesse's house is at the beginning of a neighborhood with a movie theater one block away, so we can just walk. Save's time to park, and I'm too young to drive anyway. (Damn.)
Jesse just gets water, and I get my necessary supplies (nachos w/cheese & salsa, coke, candy, and popcorn w/ extra butter). Meg and Laura arrive a few minutes later.
--------
I have no idea why, but yesterday 18 called me, told me she was taking me to an 8:30 pm movie, told me tell Goku, Chi Chi, and the rest of the gang, and hung up. So, we're all here. I guess she just wanted to get us together for 'group bonding'.
Okay, now I know something strange is going on. We are the first ones here besides a group of four. The lights are dim and I can't make out whom they are. It's probably not anybody I know anyway.
"Go ahead, Bulma," 18 motions, beckoning me to slide down the aisle into the last seat. She wants to sit two rows behind the other people for some reason. More are coming in, thought.
Oh my f***ing god. I'd recognize that hair anywhere. It's Vegeta.
I elbow 18 gently and point at Vegeta. She seems to be just as shocked as I am.
"The odds that we'd see him here," she says.
"I know!" I agree. "But I'm not going to let him spoil are good time here. 18 remains expressionless. So we sit and watch the movie.
-------At the end-------
As the credits come up, people start to leave. 18 tells us all to sit down, telling us that she'd heard there were outtakes at the end and wanted to see them. So we all sit down. After most of the people have gone, I hear a familiar voice that I know oh too well.
"Why haven't you eaten any of that, Vegeta?" Jesse says. We're the only ones left now. I glare at the four of them. Meg and Laura look around Jesse to see Vegeta with all his food.
"I was saving it for a special occasion," he smirks. Jesse raises an eyebrow.
"What kind of special occasion?" Jesse asks intrigued by what on earth he could be saving it for. If you wanted to buy food for later, the movies are not a good place to buy it.
Vegeta laughs. "This special occasion!" he yells as he first manages to dump the salsa on Jesse, the cheese on Meg, and splashes the coke on Laura, who was trying to run away. I start to laugh.
Jesse looks down at the irremovable red stain of salsa on her best white dress.
"What the f*** was that for you son of a bitch!!!!???" she screeches. Meg and Laura seem equally as angry, which to me, isn't at all surprising.
"Hmmm… lemme think," he says sarcastically, putting a finger to his chin. Everyone busts into a laugh at this gesture. "Uh, number one: for Bulma," he explains, smirking at me. I can't help but smile back. "Uh, number two: no one plays me as the fool. And number three: I can't stand you goddamn bitches." All three scream in agony and storm out, Vegeta tossing the popcorn at them as they leave and leaving grease stains along with all the other stains. Everyone is practically rolling on the floor laughing.
Vegeta walks up to me, grinning. "Uh, I don't have a ride home…"
I guess it's safe to assume that he chose me and not her.
