Anyway, everyone is dancing their asses of to Chris' lovely DJing skills, J.T. is actually dancing with Erica. When Erica notices a girl with red, purple and blonde hair that's an inch above her shoulder checking her out. This girl had black semi-thick glasses on with a Distillers shirt on with a skirt, combat boots, and net stockings. Erica shakes this off and starts dancing again.
"Hey, Michael, who's the chick in the Gryffindor shirt? She's kinda cute" said Theodora.
"That's Erica. She's taking and straighter than a woodplank." Michael replied
Ellie plops down next to them. "Hey. your the guy Terri's been obsesseing over."
"Hello to you to, Ellie." said Michael with a sarcastic tone
"Who's she." Ellie says pointing to Theodora.
"My step-sister, Theodora."
"Hey. Do you know anything about Erica?" asked Theodora
"Everyone in the school knows a little something about Erica. She loves to party and she dates J.T. Never would cheat on him. He is like the wind beneath her wing. Erica is definately different from everyone."
"Cool... I like this song. I think I'm going to dance." she said while staring at Erica dancing
Ellie turned to Michael and said. "Doesn't she know that this is Britney Spears?"
"All she knows is that Erica is on that dance floor, and that she has to make her move." replied Michael.
"ah. This is going to be interesting."
So, Theodora was dancing towards Erica. Actually, as J.T. was getting something to drink, Theodora was practically grinding on Erica. Erica just started grinding back, she thought, 'everyone dances like this. Its shameless grinding.' Then she noticed that it was the girl that was checking her out. Erica said she needed to check her make-up and grabbed Emma along with her to the bathroom.
"Erica, you aren't wearing any make-up." said Emma. "Why are we here?"
"I just grinded with a lesbian"
"Huh?"
"Yeah. She was checking me out before she came up to me and started dancing with me. I didn't know it was her until I looked at her face."
"The girl with the red and purple hair?" asked Ashley as she came out of the stall.
"Yeah."
"That's Theodora, Michaels step-sister, me and Ellie have been talking to him about her."
"I'm going back on the dance floor. Liberty is really feeling the music." says Emma leaving the bathroom
"Anyway, she's not a lesbian, she's just bi. And she finds you attractive. Just pretend you don't know, you'll be better off."
"Oh that'll be easy."
So, Erica leaves the bathroom and goes to the bar and starts to drink some water. When she feels a tap on he shoulder. She turns around and sees Manny and Roxanne standing next to each other.
"Hey. You ready to dance-off?" asked Manny.
"The question should be are you ready to lose?" said Roxy
"Roxy, Manny. You guys are such tarts. And this is probably the stupidest contest yet. But I'm willing to entertain a crowd. Let's go go a go go"
Erica hops off the bar stool and heads her way to Chris to request a song. She requested Fatboy Slims 'Funk soul brother'. As soon as the song started, Erica and Manny were facing each other on the dance floor. Manny gives her the look telling her that she should go first. Erica was ready to debate this, but since Manny started the fight two months ago. Erica decided she would go first. Erica wasn't laying out her best moves because she was going to lose on purpose and let Manny win just for the sake of entertaing the people. When Erica was done dancing, she signaled to Manny to start dancing. Manny most likely had the advantage of winning this so-called dance off because of the fact that Manny was a cheerleader and a gymnist. But Erica believes that she was raised in raves, and was taught moves that even Brittney Spears wouldn't be able to do. So they are dancing back and forth and back and forth. When, Erica really starts to feel the music she starts to dance her little ass off. When she starts dancing against Manny as a joke. Manny walks away with her 'crew' following her. The crowd starts going wild and Chris goes. "Yeeeaaah! give it up for my girl, Erica!!!!". As Erica was on her way outside, everyone started hugging her and saying how great of a so-called dancer she was. Erica went outside and leaned against the brick wall breathing and gasping for air. When J.T. came outside sorta shy-like. With his head down and sorta walking slow, until he got infront of Erica and he lifted his head up in a sort of dreamy way that you only see in the movies.
"That was very entertaing." said J.T. "You, my lover, are such a turn on.
"Wow. Where'd that come from." said Erica
"I don't know. I'm just really in a good mood right now."
"You're too much sometimes, J.T." she stares at him for a while. "Do you remember when our first kiss was?"
"After Craigs party. At your house, in your basement. You took advantage of me." he jestered.
"As memorial-ish as that was. That was not our first kiss." said Erica.
"Our first kiss was at the skate park. After I had almost fallen. Remember? The root beer flavoured lip gloss?"
"Oh yeah. That was nice too. That was on the first day of school"
"I know. August 30. And today, my lover" she mocked him when she said 'my lover', "is November 30. We've been dating for three months, Three whole months. Isn't that amazing?"
"It is. It's really amazing. And it went by so fast."
"Really fast. I love you, J.T."
"I love you too."
Erica smiles. "Well, I love you more than any color the crayola company can think of."
"Thats a good one. But I love you more than any long-lasting lipstick that the maybeline company can think of."
"Kiss me you fool." ... I think we all know what is going to happen now.
Marco and Dylan are at Dylans house watching some movie on tv. Canoodling or cuddling on the couch. Marco keep staring at Dylan wonder why he hasn't made a move on him yet. So, he decides to try to make the first move this time.
"If I kiss you, we won't get in trouble, will we?" asked Marco, whispering
"Don't be silly. We're home alone. And besides, if my parents were home, they wouldn't mind. Why do you ask?"
"Because I want you badly... But I don't know what to do."
"I'll help you. You sure about this?"
Marco thought for a while then said. "I'm sure... Uhm, do you have a condom?"
"Yeah. Let me go get it."
Dylan got up and left the living room and came back with two condoms. Dylan gave Marco a reassuring smile saying that everything will be alright. Dylan took his shirt off as well as Marco. They start kissing each other intensely. Dylan kissed Marco all over his chest and such. Marco was enjoying all of this, he was moaning and everything. I don't want to get into this with exact details, so let's just say they used the condoms as they were meant to be used for. And that it was a beautiful and lovely experience for the both of them.
Back at Exotic Rose. Erica, J.T., and Emma are all dancing together. Erica is sandwiched between their grinding and she's just grinding back having a good time. What turned out to be just the three of them dancing together in a little line. Turned out to be a freak dancing train of whatsit. In order. It was Erica, J.T., Emma, Manny, Roxy, Lily, Ellie, then Michael. Theodora was behind Michael then she got infront of Erica which made Erica a bit nervous. But she shook it off. Until she started facing Erica, but Erica just ignored it. Until Erica noticed that she hasn't seen Liberty since she arrived there. Erica asked J.T. to help look for Liberty.
So Erica is walking around this place, and finds Liberty talking to Toby. Turns out that Toby and Kendra broke up on Thursday. Kendra says it's because they were slowly drifting apart and they were starting not to have anything in common with each other. Toby somewhat agrees with her. So Liberty and Toby are talking to each other. Toby is compliment Liberty on her outfit. And Liberty is telling Toby how Erica helped her with the outfit and such. Erica sees this and starts dancing with Paige, J.T., and Spinner. All just in a little circle not in some freak dancing train. Everyone's having a really good time. And when the party's over. They all go home.
Part... 39))) Erica is sitting in her basement listening to the new Interpol cd that she was just a little late on buying. She claims that her basement is her little alcove. There's a couch, a corner filled with bean bags, a coffee table covered in SPIN magazines, and just alot of Lava lamps and a black light. Her walls are covered with Black light posters. The basement is her little psychadelic alcove. Almost like her room.
Erica's sitting on the couch. Listening to Interpol when she hears a knock on her basement door. Erica walks towards the door and opens it. It's Michael and Theodora. Interesting, Erica thinks, how would they even suspect that I would ultimately be in my basement. "Hey, what are you doing here?" said Erica
"Just want to hang out with my favorite two-timer." replied Michael
"Shut the fuck up. Who's the chick? Erica asked, acting like she already didn't know.
"I'm Theodora. I believe we danced with each other tonight." replied Theodora. "I'm also the new guitarist in the band"
"Oh. Hey. Well, you guys come in. Take a seat anywhere."
"Interpol. You have a wide taste in music." said Michael
"I know. I just bought the cd. I know it came out in September. But I had lost track of time and such. So I'm previewing it now. It might be included in the Grapevine."
"What do you think of it so far?" asked Theodora
"It's really good. I believe 'slow hands' is next. So, where'd you come from?"
"Well, I was in Maryland. Until I decided that when my parents got divorce that I would go with my dad to live in Canada. And then he met Michaels mom, and now they are engaged and I have to live with them. And Michael was just showing me the night life here."
"What part of Maryland did you live in. Cause I use to live in Glen Burnie. Went to Old Mill."
"Lived in Severn. Went to Meade Senior. Maryland sucked ass a bit."
"Yeah. But they had a groovie rave scene."
"You go to raves?" asked Michael
"Yes..." said Erica. "I practically grew up in raves."
"I use too. But I don't seem to go anymore."
"Well, the raves here are okay. They're only once a month though. Which sorta sucks."
Michael changed the subject. "You never let me read or hear that song that you wrote that one day."
"Tasteful Sin? It's in my room. Let me go get it. Stay right here."
While Erica went upstairs to get her song to show off to Michael and Theodora. Manny and her group of friends were talking about the whole dance-off situation. Manny thought she had it down packed, that this was the only thing that she was better at than Erica. But she guessed that she wasn't. Anywho.
"That Erica is definately a lesbian. She danced up on that one girl with the red and purple hair. She danced up on you. She kissed you about two months ago." said Hazel. "I'm convinced."
"I totally agree. If she's not a lesbain, she fucking bi." said Roxy. "Maybe the school needs to know about this."
"Indeed the school does." said Manny. "This will pay for everything she's caused since she's moved here. THe fight, J.T., Craig, the whole nine yards. We're going to have to start up on that Monday. But all I want you guys to do is tell one person. It should get around like that." she snaps her fingers with a somewhat smirk on her face.
Everyone there nods in agreement. Erica would think that them spreading rumors claiming that she's a lesbian would be pretty funny compared to the fact that Manny is always having girls stay the night at her house. 3 to 4 of them at that. But since Erica doesn't know about this so called master plan of Manny's, she can't think that it's funny... yet.
At Toby's house, J.T. and him are talking about the time they had at Exotic Rose tonight. TOby is telling J.T. all about his conversation with Liberty and how he might like her as in more than just a friend. J.T. is pretty shocked by this news, so he askes Toby if someone spiked his soda or if he's feeling okay.
"I'm feeling fine, J.T. It's just that I think Liberty would be an interesting person to date." said Toby.
"She's got no sense of humor. She's very uptight. And she called Erica a slut for no reason." said J.T.
"I think she's changed. Did you see her at Exotic Rose. She was a totally different person."
"If you want to date her, date her. But you better believe that people will be talking."
"I don't care."
"I'm going to go to Erica's real quick. She wants me to meet her in her basement for a second. Tell your mom I forgot my toothbrush and went to go get it." J.T. puts his toothbrush in his pocket and silently creeps out of Toby's house. Ashley and Ellie see him and ask him where is he going. He tells them to Erica's and that Toby is covering for him. What a coincidence, Ashley and Ellie were about to go to Michael and Theodora's house to chill with them for a while. Turns out Emma was going over Erica's also. Because Erica told her to stop by. Although Erica did not plan for Mike and Theodora to come over. So I guess it's just another get together at Erica's house in her pyschadelic alcove.
"J.T! " said Erica. " Michael and Theodora are already here." she sees Ashley and Ellie at Michaels front door. " Hey. Michael and Theodora are over here guys."
"I wanted to spend some time with you on our three month anniversary." said J.T.
"Me too." replied Erica
Ellie walks in and listens to the music playing. "Is that Interpols new album?"
"Yeah.." replies Erica. "It's almost over though. You can put on repeat all if you want to hear the whole thing. I was just reviewing it for the Grapevine." Erica gives J.T. a hug. "You're sweet. Emma will be over also. Sit with me until she gets here. Then we will go on our own."
"Alright."
As Erica and J.T. sit next to each other. Michael goes. "SO this is the infamous J.T. that Erica is dating."
"Yeah." replied J.T. "Three months without any trouble."
"Congrats." says Ellie.
" Me and Craig have been going out for a while. Lost track of how long." says Ashley.
"Means you're thinking about breaking up with him." said Theodora.
"Since you lost track of how long you've been dating, it shows that you really don't care anymore and that you're having trouble thinking of how to break up with this Craig person."
"She took the words right out of my mouth" said Erica.
"How'd you know that?" asked Ashley.
"You seemed to drag out how you've been dating Craig for a while." said Erica, taking over where Theodora left off. "It shows that you're looking for something new. Now how are you going to break it off?"
That's where Emma knocked on the door silently. Erica tells her to come in and she does. Emma comes in to a group of people sitting in bright colors and such and says. "THis is almost like your room. Except it's different"
"And there's no collage of Julain Casablancas." says J.T.
"From The Strokes? What do you see in him? asked Michael
"He's the lead singer of one of New Yorks best bands. He write the songs and he's dreamy." says Erica. "Now if you will excuse me, me and J.T. have to go upstairs so I can show him... the uhm.. dent my my... bunk bed. Won't take long."
As Erica and J.T. went upstairs to her room kissing each other a bit. Emma mentioned the fact that Erica's bunk bed was wooden. Then Theodora mentioned the fact that they are not stupid and that they know they are going upstairs to make-out.
"It's their 3 month anniversary." said Emma.
"Really? That's funny." said Michael.
"You like Erica don't you? I can tell how you look at her in English and how you have this sarcastic attitude about her and J.T.'s relationship. It's obvious." said Emma
"You like Erica?" asked Ellie. "Join the club. Sean's starting to like her also."
"You still talk to Sean?" asked Ashley.
"Who's Sean" asked Theodora. "You can't keep mentioning all these people thinking that I know them. Remind you that I am new."
"Sean's Ellie's ex-boyfriend. They broke up about two months ago after Sean cheated on her then lied about it." said Ashley.
"He made moves on Erica at a party that Craig had a while back then lied to me and said she was the one who made the moves on her. THen it turned out that he was drunk." said Ellie.
"There must be alot of fucking drama here." said Theodora
"YOu have no idea. No idea what so ever."
