Chapter Six :
Three days later, all four of them sat in the dens office with Spike's lawyer. All dressed as the respectable students they should have been. Well, for the most part at least.
Faye had on a long sleeved black top, and a long black skirt. her hair was partly pulled back. She even had on a pair of glasses, though the lenses were just plain glass. She had cut down on her make up, choosing light, natural colors to make herself look more 'respectable'.
Spike had on a suit, the first few buttons on the shirt undone, and a tie hung limply around him neck, making it almost look like a noose. His suit jacket and pants were a deep blue, almost black, and his top was white.
Verena had her long hair bradded back neatly, some strands in the front escaping to frame her face nicely. She had on a clean black shirt that read 'I once had super human powers, but my therapists took them away..' on it. The jeans she had on only had one hole in the knee. She looked like the perfect little art student she was not.
Grin had his long hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, and wore a clean, tight fitted light blue top with a pair of baggy jeans. Of course, there was paint on both the pants and the shirt, but he, unlike Verena, was an art student. Come to think if it, he really didn't know what Verena was in college for...or Faye for that matter...
"The requirements are a disgrace to this school. To tell two students that they must bunk down with members of the opposite sex is unethical!" the lawyer bellowed, snapping Grin out of his thoughts. Dean paled slightly, but then straightened in his chair.
"The two need to learn some respect! What would you have had me do!"
"Put them in the same classes, have them go to seminars. Don't you think having them live together would be inviting trouble to your door sir?"
The dean blushed and looked away. Things were not going as he had planed. Not that he had really planed any of this to begin with. Telling then to live with one another had been completely spontaneous. It had also been a bad idea. Though that would not make him take back his words. Oh no. once you showed these little bastards a weakness, they jumped on it and ripped it open until you lay dead and bleeding on the floor. And if they thought this little act would change anything, they were sadly mistaken!
Not letting any of his rage show, he smiled brightly and held out his hands. "A compromise is in order then, yes? Well, we happen to have an apartment off campus that just opened up. The four of them must live there until the end of the semester, or they will be kicked out."
Grin stood up quickly, his eyes flashing. "Why the four of us? We were not involved in the fight!"
"Really? Then why are you here?" the Dean raised an eyebrow and smirked nastily. "Since you and your friend have joined us today, it could not be helped but to assume that you were some how involved in all this..."
"Or, it could be that we are here for moral support, jack a--"
Grin placed his hand over her Verena's moth before she could finish. All they needed was more problem. Had he known he would be thrown into this mess, he never would have agreed to come! Fuck, what the hell am I to do now? If I back down, not only will Verena never forgive me, but I also would never be able to look myself in the mirror again!
Spike turned to the lawyer. "Is this legal?"
"As long as it's off campus, and it's not limited to just you and Miss. Valentin it is. I think this is the best deal you'll be getting today, sorry."
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. You'll still get payed." turning to the Dean, Spike smiled just as meanly. "So, when do we get to see this apartment to make sure it's up to snuff? Because if it's worse then where I live now, we'll have some more problems. Understand?"
"Are you threatening me!"
"Who me? Naw, just giving you some good tips to keep yourself out of the courthouse...you did remember my Father works in the courthouse, didn't you?"

"We are so dead."
"No we're not."
"Yeah we are."
"No we're not."
"Verena, this is a fine time for you to be calm damn it! I can't live with you and two guys!"
Verena stopped packing and looked over at her so called friend. "And what the fuck is that suposed to mean?"
"You're a slob."
"Yeah, with clothing. You're a slob when it comes to food being left out. Do I need to remind you of the fuzzy milk incident?"
Faye gasped, turned three shades of red, then looked around to make sure no one else had heard her so called friend. "You swore you'd never mention that again!"
"Yeah? Well, I lied. You think I like the fact I need to pack up all my shit and move in with a jerk and the only guy on campus who wants to get into my pants? Oh fuck the date!"
Faye looked at her and smirked. She had been making a bet with herself over weather or not Verena would forget about her date with Grin. Her evil side won this round. Poor Grin had no idea what was coming. The last time Verena had forgotten about a date, she had confused the poor man into a straight jacket.
When he had gotten to the door, she had shook his hand, handed him a banana, and told him she had a wonderful time, but it was getting late and she really needed to get inside...Faye was almost looking forward to what she would do this time...
"You going to do the banana thing again?"
"Hm? Ahh, I don't know...do we have any bananas?"
Faye looked around, she spotted something on the floor that was brown, shriveled, and stank. "I think that's a banana."
Verena looked down, holding her nose, and pocked at it with a pencil. "...what do you think Grin would do if I threw this at him when he came to the door?"
"Kill you?"
"Want to find out?"
"...sure, why not? It's your life anyway, not mine."
"You think I should?"
"Why not?"
"He might get mad."
"He might."
"...but it would be funny."
"That it would."
"...your not helping you know."
"Yeah, but it's fun watching your mind run in circles. It's kind of like watching a cat chase a light around the house until it crashes into a wall..." (AN: yeah, I've done that to one of my cats...good times, lol)
"...thanks"
Faye held up her hands and shrugged. "You know, you could always ignore me a follow your heart."
Verena looked at Faye, her face scrunched up in concentration. Lifting her bewildered eyes to Faye, she tilted her head to the side slightly. "What's a heart? Sounds tasty, what ever it is..."
"...'Rena, you are so weird..."
"Yeah, I know. And that's why you love me and will help me get this banana up some place so I can toss it without having to touch it..."
