"Okay, so what are you thinking about?" Jen munched on her taco happily. It was lunch, one week after Rachel saved Lilith. Lilith had decided to eat with them from then on. Toni and Jade were there as well. Also, Jade had invited Mia Dearden, the girl with random outbursts. Mia had been sitting with them for a while. Jen loved the girl, so did Lilith. Toni and Jade were nice enough but Rachel didn't believed they sincerely liked the girl yet. Rachel was undecided.
"We need to go shopping!" said Jade quickly.
"Why?" asked Lillith. She mimed cutting her throat at Rachel over the back of Jade's head. Rachel didn't find it very amusing. She had a headache and wanted to sleep. Her father had been having a lot of guests over lately, for dinner parties. She had to attend all of them. She hoped there wasn't another tonight.
"Because we need Homecoming dresses!" Jade practically shouted.
"Um, Jade? Hate to break it to you, but Homecoming isn't for three weeks. Plus, there is no way you are getting Rach to a mall. She hates them with a fiery, burning passion." Rachel nodded her head fervently.
"We're going this weekend, no excuses." Jade said. Mia groaned. Finally the bell signaling the end of lunch rang. Jen sighed. Sometimes Jade scares me.

Way across the quad, another group of girls were talking about Homecoming.
"Kitten! Homecoming isn't for, like, ever!" cried Tara Markov, the cheerleading co-captain.
"Exactly why we need to go now! Otherwise all of the good dresses will be in the hands of people like Jen Hex!" Kitten said angrily. Kitten was a blue eyed blonde who gave all blondes a bad name. She had an annoyingly high voice and was obsessed with the color pink.
"I agree with Kitten. I wish for a nice dress this year." Kori Anders was on Kitten's side? That was new. The tall redhead usually did not like Kitten. Tara looked at her and said, "Fine, this weekend we'll get dresses." Then Tara glared at Kori until the entire cheerleading group had left. Kori was still packing up her bag. Tara punched her in the shoulder.
"Ow! Why did you punch me, Terra?" Kori looked hurt. Tara continued to glare.
"I don't want to go shopping this weekend. I wanted to hang out with Gar but no, you had to do everything that dumb Kitten wanted. Thanks a lot Kori!" She punched Kori again, lighter this time, but in the spot where she had broken a bone over the summer. Kori winced, Tara smiled, and someone watched.

JinxQueen666: You're late.
DarkDemonGirl713: Blame Jade. She can be so needy sometimes. She wanted to know whether emerald or jade looked better on her. You know, for the dance.
JinxQueen666: What did you tell her?
DarkDemonGirl713: I told her to try green.
JinxQueen666: How'd she take it?
DarkDemonGirl713: She was ready to lynch me before I could finally get away.
JinxQueen666: Sweet. Hahaha, so what are you going to buy for the dance. A dress?
DarkDemonGirl713: Hah.
JinxQueen666: Pantaloons?
DarkDemonGirl713: Yes.
JinxQueen666: …
DarkDemonGirl713: And pink also.
JinxQueen666: sigh If only.
DarkDemonGirl713: Yeah right. So, pink or black for you?
JinxQueen666: Pink. Black for prom, duh.
JinxQueen666: Let's see: Jade is gonna wear some type of green, and I'm not sure if that's even the best color on her. Maybe she'll look like asparagus. Mia wants red, like a fire truck, or a fire hydrant. Lol, dogs wee on fire hydrants. Toni is doing black, so she looks like a corpse. Oh, and Lilith wants white.
DarkDemonGirl713: Nice. Jade will look gorgeous, as usual. Mia should tone down the color of red, but def. not pink. Toni is going to look very nice in black, but maybe she should try for red also, because black washes her out just a bit. Lilith, hm, white? That might be good actually…
JinxQueen666: When did you become so knowledgeable in fashion?
DarkDemonGirl713: I know more than you think I do. evil look
JinxQueen666: Don't doubt it. Blue for you, maybe? It'll bring out your…skin? Haha
DarkDemonGirl713: Do I have to go? I don't want to be surrounded by idiots sweating and grinding the night away. I might go crazy.
JinxQueen666: You have to deal with those animals because I have to and Jade will kill us if we both skip the dance.
DarkDemonGirl713: Fine. No prom though.
JinxQueen666: If you get a date then you're going.
DarkDemonGirl713: Okay.
JinxQueen666: It was that easy?
DarkDemonGirl713: All I have to do is not get a date. How hard can that be?
JinxQueen666: Gr at you.
DarkDemonGirl713: Going. Bye.
JinxQueen666: See ya, hookah.

By the time the weekend, all of the girls except Rachel knew what type of dresses they wanted. Saturday morning they speeded off to Dillard's in Jen's Jaguar and they spent four hours deciding on dresses. First, Jen grabbed Rachel's arm and sped her to the dresses. Jade and Mia followed, while Toni walked behind them with Lilith.
"Okay, Rach, we're doing you first because you're going to take the longest." Jen said, grabbing dresses off of racks.
"Oh thanks, Jen. Do I have to go? I hate dances, you know that." Rachel said quietly. Jade looked up at her from where she was examining a blue strapless dress and said, "Oh, you're going. Please, Rachel? It'll be a ton of fun. Even Toni is going and she can't stand dances either."
"That's because you're holding my iPod hostage."
"Not the point Toni." And with that, Jade shoved three red dresses, a gray one, four black, and a white into Toni's arms. "To the dressing rooms with you!" She marched Toni off, Toni looking very sad.
Rachel looked at Jen. "Don't even try to do that with me." Rachel stated.
"I know. Try these, okay? Please, Rae, just do it. I really don't wanna fight." Rachel nodded and took the proffered dresses. She walked to the dressing rooms with Mia beside her, the girl having already grabbed about seven dresses.
"You'll look nice in blue." Mia said quietly.
"Funny, that's what Jen said." Rachel replied, not looking at the girl. Once they reached the dressing rooms, Rachel went into the handicapped stall and Mia went to an open one on the other end.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While this was happening, Jennifer was still trying to find "the dress".
"Damn you, Dillard's! Give me a dress!" Jen mumbled. Then she spotted it. It was just a small fold of pink sticking out of a rack. She went for it, not realizing that another hand was heading for it at the same moment. Jen grabbed the dress and saw that there was a pull on the other end. She looked up and saw Kitten Moth holding onto the other end of the dress.
"Hey bitch, let go of my dress." Kitten cried, trying to pull it out of Jen's grip. That's gonna rip if she doesn't stop soon. Wait, her dress?
"Did you hear me? Let go!" Kitten said again. Jen only held on tighter.
"Kitten, just let go. It's a dress, I was here first, and I can subconsciously tell that it will look better on me than you, seeing as I have at least a good amount of breasts for a junior." Jen said calmly. Kitten looked outraged.
"Kitty, just let go, it's no biggie." said a voice about a rack over. Jen looked past Kitten and saw Cassandra Cain, president of the Martial Arts club, cheerleader, and tech whiz. Everyone knew not to mess with Cassandra, because she could get pretty mean. Everyone knows that Cassandra and Roy Harper, captain of the baseball team, all night. Roy was a stuck up idiot who hung with the pops.
Kitten let go, trying to make sure that she didn't look dumb or weak in front of her friends. "You can't have everything, little Hex. And big bad Rachel Roth isn't here to protect you right now." Kitten advanced and punched Jen on the jaw. Jen rolled her jaw, positioned her right fist, and punched Kitten in the stomach, then laughed. What did she think I couldn't fight? Kitten had stood up and was advancing again but Cassandra held her back. "Let Roy handle her, Kitty." Cassandra motioned Roy forward, who moved quickly and punched Jen in the face, while kneeing her in the stomach. Jen dropped to the ground. While Roy thought that he had won, Jen was just taking a breather. She was about to sweep Roy's legs out from under him but someone yelled. She looked up. Jade was running towards Roy. Roy seemed surprised and he ignored Jen for the moment. Jen took that moment to do the leg sweep she had been planning. He fell and Jade kicked him in the side.
"Don't. You. Ever. Touch. Her!" Jade yelled, punctuating each word with a kick. Jen smiled and stood up. She pulled Jade back.
"For goodness sake, it was a dress! I think you'll live." Jen said, massaging her right cheek. Kitten fled, with Cassandra slowly walking behind her.
"You're gonna get it, Hex."
Jen and Jade turned and saw that Cassandra had stopped.
"I'll be ready." Jen grimaced, knowing that something bad was going to happen, most likely at school. Cassandra turned and kept walking. Jen and Jade walked back to the dressing rooms.
"Wait!" Jen cried. She looked around.
"What?" asked Jade in concern. Jen ran back to where they came from. She grabbed the gorgeous pink dress, smiled, and ran back to Jade.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"And then she stopped and said that I was gonna get it." Jen said. It was about an hour later, and they were eating lunch together in the food court. They all had chosen their dresses, with a few surprises. They were getting shoes after lunch, but they were starved.
"What did you say?" asked Mia, always the curious one.
"I said that I'll be ready." Jen replied, sipping her Diet Coke. She looked at her Chinese food and remembered the look on Cassandra's face when she said that something bad was in store for her. Jen was suddenly scared.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was Monday the next time Jen and Rachel saw each other.
"Gotta go to locker!" was the only excuse Jen had for running inside early. Rachel followed at a slower pace. Was it her or were more people looking at her than they usually did? No, they were definitely looking. Whispering too. This couldn't be good. She hurried and caught up with Jen at her locker.
"Have you noticed that people are looking at us and whispering?" Jen said under her breath. Rachel nodded. "I wonder…why…" Rachel looked at Jen, wondering why she had trailed off. You couldn't get her to shut up usually. Jen was holding a paper.
"What's that?" Jen didn't answer. "Jennifer Mallory Hex! What is that paper that you are staring at so intently?" Jen handed it to her.
"It's a copy of our IM from the other day…" Jen said quietly. "But drastically changed." Rachel finished. And so it was. It was the IM from a few days before, but it had been changed. While in the original they had been talking about how beautiful the girls would look for Homecoming, this one bashed all of the girls.

DarkDemonGirl713: Yeah, so true. Pink or black for you?
JinxQueen666: Pink. Black for prom, duh.
JinxQueen666: Let's see: Jade is gonna wear some type of green. She'll look like asparagus. Mia wants red, or a fire hydrant. Lol, dogs wee on fire hydrants, and she always smells like wee, so it works! Toni is doing black, so she will look more like a corpse than usual. She is so fugly! Oh, and Lilith wants white. God, she's annoying, always tagging along. What a loser.
DarkDemonGirl713: They are all so ugly and annoying. Why do we let them hang out with us?
JinxQueen666: So we seem nice? Not sure. We should make them go away! Then we won't have to go to the dance!
DarkDemonGirl713: Do I have to go? I don't want to be surrounded by idiots sweating and grinding the night away. I might go crazy.
JinxQueen666: You have to deal with those animals because I have to and Jade will kill us if we both skip the dance. She is so dumb to think that dances in high school are important…or fun.
DarkDemonGirl713: Fine. No prom though.
JinxQueen666: If you get a date then you're going.

"Oh. My. God." Jen said, slowly sliding her back down the lockers. Rachel knew how she felt.
"You know who did this, right? That moron Cassandra Cain. She said she was gonna get me for beating up Roy." Rachel nodded, knowing that was true. Then Jen jumped up, pulling Rachel with her. "The girls!" And with that, Jen pulled Rachel off to find Jade, Toni, Mia, and Lilith. They scoured the front hall, getting some stares, and then went outside. There they were, sitting under the oak tree that they had sat under for a couple of weeks.
"Mia!" Jen called. Mia and the others looked up. Jade whispered something in Mia's ear and they all looked away. Then Toni looked back. Jen smiled and waved. Toni flipped her off.

And that is the end of chapter two! I hope you enjoyed it! I'm trying to make the chapters longer. I promise to you that chapter three will be at lease 4,000 words! By the way, the title is from a quote by Ester Dyson. It says: The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
REVIEW!

P.S. if you want the schedules of the people in the story or what they will be wearing for homecoming, I can only give you the fist one until homecoming is over. I have pictures of their dresses and shoes.
