3- Cutting Loose...or Maybe Not

She had heard that there was a club having teen night and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to test drive her new look. She searched through her purse to find the flyer that she had earlier found while she was in school. She didn't know why she had it, it's not like her 'type' we ever be in one of those clubs.

Once she arrived she almost turned back and went home, so she stood across the street and thought. 'I didn't do all this for nothing. I'll be fine. I'm ready. And I'll have fun and meet people.' She did a good job convincing herself because within minutes she was in the club, but not dancing. She didn't recognize anyone there. Not that she would because she didn't have many friends. And none of them would be caught dead in there.

So there she was. Just standing there. Doing nothing but, as always, thinking. She thought over what her first months of high school had been. Nothing but schoolwork. No parties, movies, mall, nothing. Suddenly that same unrecognizable feeling came back to her. And she wanted to change all that had happened, and cut loose and go crazy. Just then someone came up to her. And leaned in close so she could hear him over the music.

"Hey. You wanna dance?" he asked with a smile.

"Sure." she knew this is what she was here for so why not.

She dropped her bag on the floor not caring what happened to it as he grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor. Jacklyn wasn't the best dancer but she had watched enough MTV and rap videos to get by on. She had started dancing facing the guy but as it seemed to get more crowded she lost sight of him for a second before she felt someone behind her. She felt a pair of hands on her hips and someone dancing against her. She looked over her shoulder and saw it was the same guy as before. She let out a breath of relief before smiling and continuing to dance. She pushed back on him as she rolled her hips, letting her ass rub against him.

She noticed in front of her a girl from school that she recognized. It took her a second to realize it was Manny a.k.a. the school slut. If it wasn't for Manny's reputation Jacklyn wouldn't even know her name.

Manny was dancing with a guy in a very similar way but if possible more raunchy. Jacklyn noticed the two guys seemed to be exchanging looks and at about the same time they both leaned closer to the girls.

"Hey. You wanna go talk?" The guy asked.

Jacklyn nodded and noticed the guy dancing with Manny was talking to her but she couldn't hear what he was saying. Both girls were led off the floor and into a large practically empty room, except for a few couples and some couches and chairs the room was pretty bare.

The two couples went there separate ways and ended up on opposite sides of the room. After a couple of minutes of talking, the regular hi, what's your name, blah blah blah type of stuff Jacklyn had found out his name was Mike he was 17 and visiting a friend for the weekend. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Manny and her guy. Manny had her head buried in his lap and the guy had his head back and his hand on the back of Manny's head.

Before Jacklyn could get a breath she looked back over at Mike and he was immediately in her face, she didn't have a chance react before getting lost in the kiss. He slowly moved his hand from Jacklyn's leg to her stomach, and from her stomach to her breasts.

The old Jacklyn snapped into action and she immediately pushed him away. She stumbled over her words a little, "Uhh....umm....I have...have to go."

She quickly got up and completely embarrassed practically ran out of the room.

Authors Note: I completely forgot to say when this takes place. So this is after Manny becomes 'the slut' - before she gets pregnant - after she fights with Emma - before her and Emma make up - and after she hooks up with and gives up on Craig. With Emma fighting with Manny and Sean; Manny becomes friends with Sean, Jay, and the rest. That'll all happen a little later.
