Lost In Conversation Chapter Eight: Misbehavior ( starting with Tootie's POV)
" DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAAAAAMMMMIIITITTT!!!!"
I slammed my backpack against the bedroom wall as if it were Turner himself. My God how I wished it was. Jada popped on my bed and commenced to filing her nails.
" Still ranting, Toot?" Her drone voice floated through the room.
I gave her my most fiercest glare. As expected, it didn't faze her a bit. Juno appeared behind me and handed me a water bottle. God knows I needed it after running home screaming and cursing at the top of my lungs. I took a huge gulp and wiped my mouth.
" That bastard is going to pay for this, I swear it- no- I absolutely swear it over my grandmother's grave!" I chugged down the remainder of the bottle and threw it across the room. Oh yeah, I was not a happy chick.
Juno lifted the empty bottle into the trash can and stood there fiddling with her wand. " Tootie... what are you going to do?"
" What am I going to do?! What AM I going to do?!?!..." I had no idea.
Juno sighed. " You know, I just really wished you two would just stop all this pointless fighting and settle this like adults. I mean, this has been going on ever since you started middle school. That's like- what- five years! Tootie, sweetie I know he hurt you bad- really bad but"-
" That's right! And that bastard deserves no sympathy for what he did to my Tootie! How can you possibly expect her to just forget that? It was a life changing experience"-
" Yes, it was and it matured Tootie a lot, even you have to admit that."
"Yeah, I guess;"
" But this grudge she's holding against Timmy is only holding her back from fully blossoming-"
" OH! And since when did YOU start making sense and getting all high and mighty preaching to everyone-"
"HOW DARE YOU!"
" Don't get it twisted, faerie. I'm the smart twin and I'm always right. So keep your big nose out of it-"
" We have the same size nose you semi-Goth cootie queen!"
" That's it! SAMURAI SWORDS TO THE DEATH!"
" Come and get some!"
" My pleasure!"
The clinging of forged steel rang through my head as the gears in it started spinning rapidly. Suddenly... there it was.
" You know something Juno, you're right."
The sisters paused in mid-air each holding her sword high above her head. "Huh?" was the simultaneous reaction.
" You heard me . The truth is, I'm really not that mad at Timmy anymore. I didn't know how to tell you guys this but... the real reason I keep messing with Timmy... is... well... I'm afraid if I don't, he'll forget all about me."
Both of the twins held their positions, mouths gaped. I fought hard not to laugh instead, I sat on the edge of the bed and hung my head. Jada and Juno rushed to my side and beckoned me on.
They fell for it.
" I mean... he is dating Trixie Tang, I hardly know a guy who would date her and pay any attention to another girl especially... to a girl like me."
" Oh no, Tootie!" Juno interjected.
"Shh!" Jada hushed her twin. "Go on."
I held back a smirk and continued; "But... even if he never sees me the way I see him... I still... would want to make-up and be friends. But... I'm scared it's too late." With my head still down, I looked up at my fairies.
Juno was moved to tears, " Don't worry, hone. I'm sure you can still patch things up with him."
" Yeah..." Jada stated dryly with her eyebrow raised.
No surprise there.
" Well, you know what that means?" Juno had perked up immediately and exclaimed.
" What?" Jada turned out of her suspicious glare and looked towards her sister.
Juno bursted out; "It means... I WAS FINALLY RIGHT!"
Fireworks filled the room and balloons mixed with rainbows of confetti fell out of nowhere. A counter appeared. One half read Jada and had the number 3,650,000 under it and the other half had Juno's name and the number 1 beneath it.
"WOOHOO! After 10,000 years I was finally right!"
" Well, whatdaya know..." Jada murmured and rolled her eyes.
Juno got in Jada's face and shouted, " In. Your. FACE!!!!" Then, continued in her jaunty spree.
It was irritating as hell but I chose not to interrupt her celebration. I was a girl with a mission and a plan- A BRILLIANT plan, after all and for it work properly, I needed no suspicion even from the fairy department. As I thought about my deliciously evil scheme, my mind fell back to the kiss.
My lips still tingled from the aggressive yet somehow soothing way his lips massaged mine. I could still taste the mild tartness of his lips and my tongue relished in the memory of exploring his mouth. Chills ran down my spine at the thought of his fingers running up and down my form and rubbing in just the right places.
Dammit! Why'd that bastard have to be such a damn good kisser? I was even more pissed off at the fact that I allowed myself to respond. No matter, because Timmy Turner was going to pay and all the school including his queen would be witness to his fall.
Boy, I wished I could've done an evil laugh, but I would've gave myself away. Oh, well.
Timmy's POV
My God, what had I done?
By the time I had got home, threw my backpack on the couch, went into the kitchen, took Mom and Dad's note off the fridge (they wouldn't be home 'til supper; surprise, surprise), grabbed some leftover pizza and a cola, warmed up the pizza, sat in the living and watched TV for a few hours, and finally headed up to my room and laid on my bed, it hit me.
The terrible, awful suicidal deed I had done had finally hit me. Suddenly, the pizza and cola came up and stung the back of my throat with a awful tangy metallic taste. Voices in my head chewed at me all at once.
" What have you done, you idiot?"
" You kissed her! You fucking kissed her!"
" She's never going to let you get away with this!"
" You gotta retaliate before she does!"
" Are you out of your damn mind?! You gotta get out of town pronto!"
" What're you gonna do?"
" What is SHE gonna do?"
I don't know...
" What if Trixie finds out?"
" She'll totally dump your ass!"
Not that that's a totally bad thing...
" Wake up, you idiot!"
" Trixie's your dream girl and you're about to blow it over some evil wrench in glasses."
What's wrong with glasses? I've got nothing against girls with glasses... and short black hair... and those adorable freckles...
" Look at you, she's has you!"
" That vamp's got you all snared up in her claws."
" Yeah, you can just see those fangs between those perfectly straight pearls."
" Hidden beneath those rose red lips..."
" That match perfectly with her milky white skin..."
" Yeah, Trixie's skin was the same color before she started tanning like a maniac."
" Oh... and those big, dark brown eyes you could just loose yourself in..."
" And lest we not forget that beautiful cleavage that was evident when you had her pinned to the table..."
" Yeah... what is she, a C-cup?"
" Awesome."
" Timmy?" A distant voice called out, but I ignored it.
" Face it boy, that vamp's got you good."
" The princess of darkness..."
" Tootie Wicker..."
"Younger sister of Victoria (aka Vicky) Wicker, the queen of darkness..."
" Timmy?" There was that voice again...
" She has you..."
" But you don't have her..."
"... now what?"
" TIMMY!!!!!"
This time, the voice grabbed me and shook me out of my post-slumber. Cosmo and Wanda both looked down at me from overhead with concerned faces.
" Are you alright, sweetie?" Wanda started.
I nodded as in to say I was okay though, it wasn't completely true. I had a serious headache.
" Man, Timmy. You sure gotta lot of guts. I mean, if I did something like plant a big one on a demon spawn, I'd be terrified- like really scared out of my pants. But you seem just fine, so good for you, champ!"
Cosmo, satisfied with his little 'pep' speech, poofed back into the fish bowl. Wanda sighed and followed suit. I turned to my side and faced the pink and green eyed goldfish.
" So... whadaya think she'll do to me?"
" Well, hone, we know that whatever it is, it's going to be something awful. But don't worry sport, we'll be there to protect you."
" But hey, don't count on us too much. We won't be around forever, you know!" Cosmo chimed in.
His comment was rewarded with a giant cookie shoved into his mouth. " Mmm... this one's peanut butter." Cosmo once again lost his train of thought and munched on the gigantic sweet.
Wanda really didn't have to do that, I knew my time with them was growing shorter. My sixteenth birthday was just around the corner and somehow, I had been anticipating it with some dour apprehension... I just felt like- RIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
The telephone rung throughout the house like some bell confirming my ominous doom.
One ring. Two rings. I picked up the receiver and sealed my fate.
" Hello?"
" Hey, snookums!"
Holy shit.
" Hey, babe. What's up?"
I suddenly heard a girlishly evil laugh and my uneasiness strengthened.
" Well, TimTim, I just came up with the perfect plan to get back at that semi-Goth bitch and you've got a very special part in it, my darling."
She made another cackle and I was sure that that time the pizza and cola would escape my throat. I swallowed hard and asked; " And what would that be, babe?"
" Um... let's just say she's going to have a little accident in Gym tomorrow."
My ears perked up and a chilling sensation rippled through my limbs. Something told me this was going to end badly, really badly. I was tempted to turn it down but then AJ's words echoed in my brain. Hey, when did I start listening to baldy anyway?
But then, I really thought about what I'd be doing if I did turn her down. I would basically be telling Trixie that I cared more about Tootie's safety than I did about her dignity. I mean, really Tootie has done some pretty mean things to Trixie. Just off the top of my head, I could remember the explosive ravioli volcano at lunch a few months ago that ruined Trixie's brand spanking new sweater and the frog that she somehow thought was me and kissed in front of the entire school. I still heard "Frog Princess" being snickered in the halls.
So that's why less than 24 hours later, I was there in the Gym before anyone else looking up at the long rope that hung from the ceiling.
This was going to end so-so badly.
Hello, folks! Miss me? I thought long and hard about it and I decided to split this chapter up (yes, another two part chapter). Why? I don't know, I just really had this strong feeling in my gut that I should end it here. Since the title of chapter 8 was supposed to be Misbehavior and Misdemeanor, I decided to name the first part Misbehavior and the second part Misdemeanor. Now that I think about, it feels so appropriate, why didn't I think of it before? (Crowd rolls eyes) (ninja bunnies' eyes glow) (crowd shuffles uneasily).
Anyways, don't worry. Don't pout or cry or send me threatening letters of the sort. The next chapter will be longer (a lot longer, which is why I split it). So please review and I might just have the next chapter done by Halloween (if you've noticed I usually take a hiatus around summertime, it's just because I'm sitting at home bored all day everyday without any inspiration.)
Plus, feel free to comment on my actual writing style and give any constructive criticism like some reviewers did. I absolutely love it and it makes me want to write even more! As always flames are accepted (crowd boos).
Be back soon! Lots of Love (and chocolate),
