Cry baby After high school Emerald snot
Allison Vernon-Williams square turned drape, Girl friend of Wade Cry-Baby Walker, stood in front of her bed room full length mirror. She ran her fingers through waist length blond curls. She grimaced at the emerald green graduating robe and cap with a golden tassel she and the others were being made to wear to their graduation that afternoon.
She asked "hey Pepper, please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like their being tortured having been made to where this hideous rag?" Pepper Walker-Wells younger sister to Wade cry-Baby Walker, commented "nope, I've been thinking the exact same thing since we picked these abominations up yesterday."
She eyed her now size fourteen robes; as she looked down at her hips. She had dieted like a crazy woman after she had her youngest daughter Sara. She was hardly recognisable as the same sixteen year-old Allison met nearly three years ago. And now at the age of eighteen, Pepper looked wonderful with her new slimmer and curvy figure.
Wanda Woodward let out a disgusted sigh "Geez talk about cramping a girl's style. What do they think we are human walking snot? There's no slits in this thing." This earned around of appreciative laughter.
Hatchet-face a.k.a Mona Malrovawski grumbled "emerald green is so not flattering, dam can you imagine what Cry-Baby, Milton and the guys are going to look like in these snot rags?"
Allison and Pepper shared a knowing look as Pepper commented with all certainty "Cry-Baby will kick up a stink and curse something bad, until uncle Belvedere and gran bribe him and force him to wear it, I can just see it now."
The four eighteen year old girls practically roared with laughter as they imagined the whole scenario being played out second by second. The four girls continued to gossip like they had the previous night when they'd had a slumber party at Allison's place.
"Hey; did you guys like hear that that prissy ass Baldwin is being made to marry Lenora Frigid after we graduate?" Wanda revealed with cruel relished glee. Hatchet-face added "yeah I heard he knocked her up and now their parental's, are making them get shackled."
Allison looked revolted "good they're a match made in heaven. Baldwin tried to all last year get back with me, and Lenora tried to get in Cry-Baby's pants. That slut" Allison spat venomously.
The other three had to hide their grins of amusement, only Lenora Frigid could make Allison's almost none existent temper flare like no other and make her curse which she didn't do very often.
They figured she of all people had every right to wish Frigid very ill, seeing as she almost split her and Cry-Baby up two years ago. When she claimed she was pregnant with his baby, of course that was a load of crap.
Pepper sneered "I guess she finally got her wish to be knocked up, only she had to settle for having second best where the other half of the genes are concerned." Allison commented mockingly "god that child is going to grow up mentally scared having Baldwin as a father and Lenora Frigid as a mother, poor thing I pity it I really do."
The others were cackling with laughter. They really loved it when the inner Drape in Allison was unleashed which was more often then not since she and Cry-Baby started going steady.
Mean while Cry-Baby and Milton were eyeing the emerald green robes as if they were something offensive. They both turned when they heard Pepper's husband snickering on Cry-Baby's bed. Cry-Baby turned and scowled at his brother in-law, making him even more amused.
Milton grumbled "it's all dam right for you; you're not being made to wear this butt ass ugly rag." He replied "actually I wore an identical butt ass ugly rag almost four years ago in fact."
Cry-Baby sneered "you'd think they would've changed this piece of snot arsed crap by now wouldn't you? My old man and old lady wore robes like this one when they attended their own graduation, geez how far behind the times do they need to get? And Christ they're the colour of snot, boggy green snot honestly."
Cry-Baby and gave up with one last scowl at his reflection and followed Milton and his brother in-law down the stairs. His grandmother and uncle were sitting around a round table in the small kitchen. They were waiting for the boys to come down, seeing as they were due in half an hour to have breakfast at the Vernon-Williams's.
Belvedere Ricketts sneezed causing his nephew to make a wise assed crack against his current attire "uncle Belvedere why don't you use my graduation robe, it's the right colour for the job any way?"
Ramona Ricketts commented sympathetically "yeah to bad kido it is butt ass ugly isn't it? Those fools on the school board should have listened to Allison's grandmother. She tried to vote for the graduation robes to be in either scarlet or blue or even black. But naturally your robes are still the colour of emerald snot, she was over ruled."
Belvedere added "emerald snot has always been the schools signature colour even when your parents attended our own graduation." Ramona commented clearly agreeing "Mrs. Vernon-Williams finds them to be highly offensive and far too bright. I happened to dam well agree with her. Imagine showing your kids and your grand kiddies pictures of you dressed in that butt ass ugly get up?"
They all watched Cry-Baby checking the pocket of his robe and heave a sigh of relief. Milton asked "what the hell do you keep checking in your pocket for Cry-Baby?" Cry-Baby sighed and pulled out a simple black ring box. He opened it to reveal a simple golden band with a modest sized diamond mounted on the top.
Ramona grinned delightedly and Belvedere looked on with pride. Cry-Baby blushed and grinned sheepishly. Milton asked "where did you get the bread to buy that thing?" Cry-Baby replied "I mowed the lawns and cleaned the windows and painted the fences at Judge's place. And I also washed his car twice a month for the past two years to earn some extra cash.
I explained to the judge what I was saving for and he also got me working for five others besides him. They paid well, considering I am a drape and they squares. I would work all day every Saturday and Sundays during the summer, then during the school year I would just clean their cars twice a month and mow their lawns once a month.
I hated it, I hated every single last lousy second of it, but I needed the money and I wanted to earn every last cent to buy her a decent ring. She's worth it, more then worth it. I knew as soon as I met Allison that she was the one for me, and when we graduated I was going to ask her to marry me. I wanted to buy her a ring I didn't want to give her an engagement ring that was hotter then a pistol, she's worth a hell of a lot more then that."
Ramona said "well, that explains why you were going off on your own constantly. And why Mrs. Vernon-Williams and the Judge were constantly praising you. Plus I noticed the family was earning less dirty looks in recent years."
