Dirt 8
Walking through town bored as hell. The whole getting everyone against Trix plan hasn't been coming along so well and I'm getting desperate. At least Vern is sure of himself, a little bit more at least, now.
Wait, there he is now. With Trix. Alone. This should be interesting.
I quickly hid in the doorway of some ancient bookstore and watched intrigued.
"Vern, you are acting so weird! Don't you wanna go do something so I'm totally not bored?" God she is a total bitch. Uh oh, Vern is standing up straighter. Jeez he is a good five inches taller than her!
"Trix…jeez lay off. It's all about you isn't it?" Oh man. That was harsh. Vern one, Trix zero. Aha all thanks to me! Trix took a step back and stared at him.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked staring up at him, whoa Nessa was totally right! She is going to lose it. NICE!
Vern rolled his eyes, "Nothing, you are just annoying." He turned to walk away and she stared after him. When he had left the little area she turned and ran off in the opposite direction tears streaming down her face.
Whoa. I wonder what will happen when I turn Gordie against her. That should be interesting and quite sad I must be there for that.
Hmm I think I should go talk to Vern about what he just did. I walked through town and finally found him at that diner place sitting eating a burger alone. Perfect. I sauntered in getting a few cat-calls score for me! I sat across from him and waited for him to notice I was there.
Okay it's taking too long. "Hey Vern." Now because he was chewing he choked spit out a piece of burger and looked up. GROSS!
"Hey Belle." I looked over at him and smiled softly.
"So how did the standing up to Trix thing feel?" I asked slowly.
"I dunno." He chewed on his lip looking at the table. "It felt kind of good, but I hate making people feel bad."
"I can understand that, but now you don't have to hang out with her." He looked out the window.
"I think I'm gonna apologize to her later." My mouth dropped open; if he did that and the others did too my plan wouldn't work anymore! And what would I do then?
"No don't do that. The others can deal with her annoying and pathetic-ness." Oh damn did I say that out loud…he is looking at me oddly, maybe he has realized my real intentions and is going to tell the others and THEN I would be screwed over.
"What do you mean?" Okay good uh I need a good cover. Lets see…oh got it.
"What I mean is, if you go back then you will seem like you can't be mean to anybody and that my friend is wimpy." His face brightened and once again sat up straighter nodding.
"You are so right Belle and well, do you really consider me your friend?" Easy question.
"Of course Vern." He smiled brightly.
"So if I don't go to her then I am being a man?" This kid is thick.
"Yes Vern, that is exactly what you will be."
"Boss." I nodded and slid out of the booth.
"Now I got to go take care of some stuff I'll see you around." I quick air kiss and I was walking away getting double glances and so was Vern. I bet they are asking themselves why a loser like him is talking to someone as sexily hot as I am. It is a mystery of the universe to this day why girls who are rated a nine marry a man who is about a two. Well other than me at least. I am not that stupid.
Once outside the diner I decided to search for Chris and the others. They must have found Trix crying by now. I mean she is just craving for attention.
The question on my mind is why is this whole kill Trix thing totally involve sneaking around I mean seriously. I don't want to do this anymore. Even if it is for a good cause. I just hope by the end Chris likes me. Even if I have to act fake. That's the whole point of marriage anyway. Acting fake so sexy people will love sexy people. No one acts normally when they are with their lover. It is a common fact.
Well, lets see I figure the best spot to cry is the tree house, but I'm not risking climbing that damn tree again so lets think of another way to spy. I reached the tree house and looked up at the tree, nope I had to sit on that branch. AT LEAST this time I'm wearing jeans and not a sundress. Okay I hear crying she is in there now to ascend this tree and sit on the branch.
I've successfully ascended the tree and sat on the branch looking in on them, its Gordie and Chris trying to get a silent, stone faced Trix to talk.
"Come on Trix…what happened?" Chris asked sitting in front of her trying to get her to look up at him. HA this is awesome and would be cute if it wasn't Trix and Chris.
"Trix did Ace do something to you?" Gordie asked earning himself a smack upside the head from Chris.
"What kind of bogus question is that Lachance?" Gordie shrugged and stared at his hands intertwining them.
"Sorry…" Chris sighed and turned back to Trix who seemed to be trying not to cry. What is this?
"Trix, c'mon this is stupid. What happened?" Trix shook her head biting her lip. This is so pathetic she should just tell them! It's not that hard. All she has to say is Vern didn't want to hang out with me. It would make her seem stupid and make my life a hell of a lot easier when it came time to making Gordie hate her.
Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Hey look there is Teddy! Time for phase two, maybe I can use this incident to make him hate her. I climbed down and walked over to him,
"Hey Teddy!" He smiled before looking at the tree house biting his lip.
"Who's in there?" I sighed,
"Trix, Gordie and Chris…Trix is really upset about something." Teddy shook his head and sighed, "I mean I think someone ignored her."
"Oh." Teddy seemed to be annoyed and started walking the other way, I followed him.
"What's up?" He shrugged and looked back at the tree house before continuing on.
"I don't know, but she is so iffy to be around." I nodded understanding, "One minute she is fine you say one bad thing and she freaks. "
"Yeah, well what can you do about it?" I asked trying to hint he could just stop hanging out with her and not have to deal with that.
"I dunno, stop hanging out with her, but Chris would kill me." I shrugged and stared.
"I mean do you really care all that much? Wouldn't your happiness be better?" Teddy shrugged and started walking again and shook his head,
"I have no idea." Teddy is almost as thick as Vern.
"Basically what I'm saying is that if you really don't want to be around her mood swings don't. Make excuses do anything I mean there are three other boys who want to hang out with her. Believe me I know what I'm talking about." Teddy nodded and smiled looking down at me.
"That makes a LOT of sense…so I don't have to hang out with them when they are with her because when I do that I am unhappy." I nodded smiling my plan was totally working.
"Exactly my point Teddy." He started walking away again with even more determination. That is excellent I'm amazing at life.
Well, I'm going to go and see what the others are up to. Maybe I'll go home for lunch.
Well I'm done with lunch and I'm gonna see what kind of trouble I have caused.
Outside roaming, hey there is Teddy and Trix…alone. I gotta see this!
So once again I find myself hiding in an alley watching Trix die. Such a fun past time.
"Teddy!"
"Hi Trix."
"Wanna hang out?"
"No…I have to go do something." Aw Trix looks so defeated for the second time today.
"But Gordie and Chris are busy and Vern is being weird." Teddy shrugged starting to walk away,
"I really can't Trix sorry." He walked away and she just stared after him. I walked out of the shadows.
"Hey Trix." She turned and glared at me as if I had something to do with this…I didn't. Really. Ahem.
"What the fuck?" I pretended to look hurt.
"What do you mean 'what the fuck?' I know you are turning them against me…or maybe yes maybe they are planning a surprise birthday party for me." She sighed and bit her lip looking as if she was going to cry.
"Maybe they just think you are annoying." She glared at me before stalking away. Yes, its working this is working amazing! This makes me really happy 'cause I'm gonna get Chris really soon!
Wait here comes Chris…he seems way too happy ooh he is talking to Teddy oh jebus he just blew right past Trix as she walked by "BELLE!" I nodded cocking my head to the side a shy smile on my face. Teddy is coming back to me…but why?
"Yeah?"
"Guess what?" I sighed and rolled by eyes,
"What?"
"What's the worst thing that could happen to anybody?" He asked me looking over his shoulder at Trix.
"I dunno Teddy." I sighed and leaned against the wall this better be good, I am so sick of stupid boys wasting my time.
"Drea is coming to Castle Rock next week…" He said slowly biting his lip.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
