I'm back! I have been working of Vasya's back story for a while and I hope to get to that part soon!
Don't forget to review!
"So…" Andy broke the silence and drummed his knuckles on the table top. "So! Vasya." The Russian turned to face him curiously. "Claire tells me you're in the school orchestra. Whaddya play?" Vasya smiled a little and nodded, "Viola, first chair" Andy pursed his lips and bobbed his head "Cool, cool"
The library was silent and Vasya was surprised to find she already missed Bender's disruptions. She sighed and looked around, eyeing the rows of book spines and leaned forward to check the door before standing up quietly. "Where are you going?" Brian asked and watched her make her way away from the rest of them. She didn't answer as she disappeared into the maze. "I think Bender has been a bad influence in her." Andy muttered and rested his head on the table.
A few minutes later Vasya returned with her arms loaded with a stack of books on the occult and the supernatural. "You can't possibly think you can read all of those in one go." Andy said dubiously. "Ye of little faith" She tutted and sat cross-legged on top of the table, a stack of at least six books beside her.
"Ye of little faith…" Brian repeated in a mutter, "Is that Shakespeare?" Vasya smiled a little, "No that was Jesus." She corrected him and opened "Encyclopedia of the Occult" and propped it up on her lap. Vasya had always fascinated by the paranormal, and the Occult. The thought that there is a world beyond their own yet still exists in the same area was amazing to her.
They sat in silence until Vasya's ears perked up at the sound of shuffling at the back of the Library. She set aside her book and slid off the table and made her way to the very back of the library.
She looked up at the ceiling and strained to hear the sound once more. "Guys, guys, shhh." She hushed the others in the front and pin pointed what sounded like some sort of animal moving in the ceiling. She remembered seeing a mouse in the Home Ec class room and shuttered at the thought of a much larger mouse scrambling above them.
Vasya glanced at the back door of the Library a few yards away from her and grabbed a left over broom that was leaning on the wall and reached up with it to poke the singular tile on the ceiling that seemed to be distending from the others. A soon as she did so that tile and all the tiles around it came crashing down, making Vasya shriek in fear and shock while the occupant of the ceiling screamed, "OH SHIT!"
The rest of the students whipped around to see what the trouble was as Vasya stared at a dusty Bender who was laying on his face in a nest of plaster dust and cardboard tiles from the ceiling. "BENDER?!" Vasya yelling in a loud whisper. " WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK!" Bender rolled onto his back and chuckled up at her, "I missed you to."
"God Dammit!"
Vasya froze when she heard Vernon storm in and instantly fell to the floor beside Bender, "What in God's name is going on in here?!" She closed her eyes and began to silently pray, "Well this is cozy" Bender whispered when Vasya realized that she was half on top of Bender, "Shh!" she hushed him, not caring in the least, "Zatknis" She spat in Russian, her accent growing thicker with agitation. "What was that Ruckus?!" Vernon yelled. "Uh what ruckus?" the two could hear Andrew ask. "I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus." Vernon noticed Vasya's empty spot and motioned to it. "Where is she?!"
Claire tensed and thought fast, "Uh bathroom sir."
"Uh could you describe the ruckus, sir?" Brian asked distracting him . 'If I didn't know better I would think that was sass' Vasya thought. "What your tongue young man watch it!"
Bender noticed that Vasya was distracted and stifled a chuckle as he slowly wrapped one arm around her waist, causing her to squeak, which he stifled by clapping a hand over her mouth. "Shh, shh, shh." He whispered quickly. The others covered her noise by bursting into squeaky sneezes. "What is that? What, what is that, what is that noise?" Vernon asked once more.
"What noise?" Andy asked again, "Really sir there wasn't any noise…" Claire said as the troublemaking Bender began he tricks once more and eyed the exposed nape of Vasya's olive colored neck and pressed his dry cracked lips to the soft flesh making her gasped and wiggle, her leg flying out and kicking the wooden book shelf.
The others covered this by banging on the tables and coughing loudly, "That? Is that the noise you're talking about?" Claire asked as Vasya grasped Bender's hand that covered her mouth and bit down on the pad between his thumb and his palm, making Bender stifle a yelp into the back of her neck.
No, it wasn't. That was not the noise I was talking about. Now, I may not have caught you in the act this time, but you can bet I will." Allison giggled at him and Vernon shook his finger at her, "you can make book on that missy." Bender and Vasya stilled until Vernon left and the group led by Brian hastened over to the two who stuggled to their feet. Vasya got to hers first and delivered a swift kick to Bender's thigh, making him topple over again.
"It was an accident" He laughed at her heavy blush, "you're a pig." She spat, wondering why she ever thought she missed him. Bender propped himself up on his elbows, and eyed Brian, "Yo Ahab?" He nodded his head and stood up and opened his hand expectantly. "Kybo mein doobage?" Brain paused below awkwardly removing the baggy of drugs from his underwear.
Bender nodded and walked away without another word. "Yo wasteiod! You're not blazing up in here!" Andy protested. They all paused to see what the others would do, Claire was the first to give in and follow Bender. Andy watched her go incredulously than eyed the other three. Brian looked around awkwardly before turning and following, zipping up his pants along the way.
"Shit" Andy muttered and reluctantly followed suit, leaving Vasya and Allison looking at each other. Allison shrugged passively and Vasya nodded, "right then" she muttered and grabbed Allison's hand, towing her along behind as they joined the others.
Soon Vasya was sitting patiently on one of the couches as thick white smoke drifted through the air. She fanned her hand to get the smoke out of her face as Brian, Claire and Bender laughed dizzily.
"Here" Bender lit up Claire, "One for the boys and one for the girls." Claire to a drag and coughed daintily while passing it up to Vasya who held it between her fingers with slight distaste. "Girls can not hold their smoke" Brian said wearing Bender's dark glasses and speaking in an odd raspy voice. Bender eyed Vasya who tried to hold the joint away from her while Claire recovered from her coughing fit. "Well go on Ruski." He urged her and she shook her head, "No thanks, I can't" she declined politely. "ah come on Vasya, lighten up." Claire pressured.
Bender leaned forward with a mocking smile, "what's the matter, are you afraid?" Vasya pouted defensibly "No I'm not" she whimpered. "Well then go on." Claire motioned expectantly. Vasya's stomach churned as she gulped and stared at the smoldering end of the Joint, "I-I-I…" she felt her heart rate pick up considerable as she felt her friend's eyes bore into her keenly.
"I Have to go…" She nearly dropped the joint thrusting it into Brian's hands and darting away from the others. The trio stared after her abrupt departure and Brian leaned over to Bender, "Now what do you think is wrong with her?" He asked, the drugs dulling his usually keen wit.
Bender stared after her and sighed, "I'll be back" He followed the distressed girl who darted behind rows of books. He finally found her sitting on the carpet with a stack of books already by her side and her nose in a copy of A Street Car Named Desire. "Hey there Ruski" he greeted her, She looked up over the brim of the cover and Bender could see her face was rosy red and her brown eyes watered slightly.
"Can I sit?" He asked and she shrugged, "It's a free country" She mimicked him but her voice was thick. Bender slid down and eyed her before sighing and looking around to make sure they were alone before leaning forward and speaking in a low whisper. "Look, I'm sorry if I freaked you out back there, I didn't mean to scare you off."
She set the book aside and wiped her eyes with the side of her hand, "I'm sorry" she sighed, "I didn't been to barge off, I just got…" she sighed and stretched out her legs, "Overwhelmed"
She blushed, realizing what a fool she had made of herself. "It's just weird, you know? I mean one minute I'm content staying home, Playing my viola and reading, never going out, toeing the line, trying to make everyone happy. And the next I'm in detention, running around the halls, lying to teachers and I don't think I've even seen weed before now!"
"You've really gotta get out more" Bender added, "I've been wondering, what is a nice girl like you doing in detention?" he asked and Vasya rested her head on the book shelf, "It's a really long story" she sighed. "Alright well." He turned his head around the corner, "we had better get back before those jackasses form a search party." He stood with a groan and offered her his hand, which she took and hopped up.
"Wait!" she paused and scooped up a thin paper back book titled "Much Ado About Nothing" She showed him the cover sheepishly, "Shakespeare." She explained. "Classy" he muttered and the two returned to the group.
