Chapter 5: The Scene: Gossip and Rumors
Everyone was still at Seaweed house dancing. Seaweed was teaching everyone a new dance routine that he had made up the night before.
"Ok on this part everyone needs a partner," Seaweed said as he begin to demonstrate the dance with Denise. "First twist her around, then Denise you grind up against me like you're doing the butt, but bend your knees more and spread your legs a lil mo!" Seaweed said as Denise begin doing the dance as he instructed.
"Wow that's a groovy dance Seaweed!" I.Q said as his eyes widened.
"Seaweed I'm going go to the grocery store and pick up something for you guys to eat I'll be right back alright," Maybelle stated as she headed towards the door.
"Alright ma," Seaweed replied
"Alright don't do nothing stupid ok," Maybelle told him as she shut the door.
"Alright let's finish grooving," Seaweed said as everyone pick their pick.
Rhonda with Donald, Jerome with Jennifer, Duane with Sherell, and Juanita With I.Q. Every was grooving to the beat doing that Groovy dance Seaweed just showed everyone, except Link, Link was all by himself, so he decided to just dance by his self because Link Larkin was not going to be a wall flower, so he danced as if Tracy was with him. The whole time Juanita was eyeing him from across the room. Although she was having quite a bit of fun with I.Q, she wanted to dance with Link Larkin, especially this dance because she wanted to be close to him, she wanted to feel his body against hers. A moment after thinking about how much she wanted to she begin to ease her way to where Link was at. Link had his eyes closed because he was feeling the music, as he was dancing, he felt a soft body grind all against his, he rested his hands around her waist as she wrap her hands around his neck and grinded closer to him.
" Ooh Link," Juanita murmured as Link opened his eyes… "Oh shit…I…thought- Link was cut off "relax it's ok to just dance Linky don't you think so?" Juanita asked as she faced him gazing seductively in his blue eyes. "Uh um… yeah I guess so," Link answered as he took her hand. "You have the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen!" Juanita said as she looked deeper into his eyes. "Thanks doll your eyes not bad either he replied now looking into her eyes. Juanita just blushed at the comment.
"Check them out!" I.Q uttered at Seaweed. Seaweed and Denise looked over. "Damn!" Seaweed said. "I knew she liked him!" Denise replied. " she isn't the only one who's liking over there" I.Q said looking at Link. "you think they secretly dating?" Jerome asked. "aww poor Tracy." Duane said. " Man they are not dating! So don't start no rumors!" Seaweed hissed. "well look how they're dancing it aint my fault he's cheating on Tracy!" Duane snapped. Seaweed begin to walk towards Juanita and Link. " ay Link let me talk to you for a minute" they walk towards Seaweed's room "can I use your phone?" I.Q asked. "yeah" Seaweed said. "What the hell are you doing Link!" Seaweed snapped. " We just was dancing Seaweed!" Link answered. " Well it don't look like y'all just dancing it look like y'all was dry humping!" Seaweed retorted. " Well we wasn't so shut the hell up Seaweed it's always bullshit with you!" Link snapped as he begin to walk towards the door.
Meanwhile I.Q was on the phone spilling the beans…
"Oooooh guess what just happened we at Maybelle's and Link was bumping and grinding all on Juanita!" I.Q. said quietly so that nobody could hear him. "What !" Fender asked. "Yeah man they was all looking in each others eyes and stuff they was running their fingers all through each others hair he was all touching all over her whole body I was like they must be together secretly!" I.Q answered making sure no one heard or seen him. "Naw man he wouldn't dog Tracy like that least not why everyone's around," Fender replied.
"Well why Link not in here or Juanita so tell me what they somewhere doing!" I.Q replied. " oh ima call you right back man," Fender said. " Well don't call me back because I'm not at home dummy!" I.Q snapped. " well I'll talk to you when you get home," Fender replied as he hung to phone up.
"Seaweed it's nothing serious I'll never break Tracy's heart like that so shut up with the bull alright!" Link snapped. " alright if you say so!" Seaweed hissed as they both walked out the door.
Meanwhile…
"Juanita you is such a bimbo!" Sherrell teased. " no I am not" Juanita uttered
" yes you are I saw you grinding all over cracker boy like that was your man and he's not!" Jennifer retorted.
"Yeah did you forget that he has a girlfriend?" Rhonda asked looking at her like she was a idiot.
"you guys are crazy it's not a big deal" Juanita said "Yes it is Trace is our friend so you gone have to suck all your feelings up for cracker boy, you don't want rumors to get out about you and him!" Denise said.
Fender hung up with I.Q immediately, he had to call Lou Anne to see if she knew what was going on. Fender knew that most likely Lou Anne would know, because she knew everyone's business, but not this time she didn't have a clue about this.
"Lou Anne guess what happened !" he said anxiously. "what ?" she asked surprised. "Link is two timing Tracy, him and Juanita is sneaking around together!" "OMG you kidding" she asked " NO this is real serious, why him and Juanita was at Seaweed house girl ,they was all kissing and hugging all up on each other and then they went in Seaweed bathroom and had sex!!" he yelled. (gasp) "OMG!!" are your kidding!" She replied. "I am SERIOUS!" he told her. "I'm gonna call you back!" Lou Anne told him as she hung the phone up.
Lou Anne called Tracy but, Edna answered the phone and since Tracy was grounded, her mom just slammed the phone down in Lou Anne's face. Lou Anne decided to call Tammy so she can tell someone about all the info she just heard. "Hello," Tammy said in the receiver. "Hello Tammy, it's Lou Anne I've got something important to tell you!" "Ok make it quick because I'm grounded!" Tammy told her. " Why Juanita is pregnant by Link!" Lou Anne yelled. "WHAT!" Tammy screamed . "YES!" "OMG YES Girl they were seen leaving the hospital together and she was crying and he was holding her and I also heard that they were having sex at Seaweed's house !!" "OMG Juanita that negro girl that be doing James Brown really good?" Tammy asked. "Yes her!" Lou Anne said. "The screwed up part about it is that Seaweed is suppose to be Tracy's friend and he letting Link and Juanita do stuff at his house like that!" Lou Anne also said, "I can't believe that Tracy thought that she won Link's heart he's such a bastard! of course
Link Larkin was gonna cheat on her with Juanita and she's colored and he never had a negro girl and I gotta give it to Juanita she's a pretty negro girl you know so of course he would sleep with her and you know he's a dog and he wouldn't mind having something new if you know what I'm talking about" Lou Anne said. "And now she's pregnant just like Brenda, oh speaking of Brenda let me call her I'll talk to you later," Lou Anne said.
The rumors were being spread rapidly. Everyone was calling everybody and twisting the story worst and worster…Tammy decided to call Penny and tell her what's going on.
"hello" Penny said "Hi Pen it's Tammy I really need to talk to you !"
"Hi Tammy what's going on?"
"Link got Juanita pregnant at Seaweed's house!"
"What yeah right!" Penny replied.
" I heard that they been sleeping together for sometime now and that he want Juanita to keep the baby!" Tammy yelled. "Tammy enough with all the bull link would never hurt Tracy like that!" Penny retorted.
"I know you knew all of this Penny how could you do such a thing why you didn't warn Tracy that Link didn't love her the way that she loves him you are an awful friend Penny, you and Seaweed are traitors !"
Tammy hissed. " Shut the Hell Up Tammy you're very simple minded to Believe all these stupid ass rumors Tracy and all of us always go to Seaweed's house everyone be just dancing with everyone practice and stuff, besides I know that seaweed would not let nothing like that happen so cool it with the rumor spreading alright I don't believe you and you're such a Bitch for even making up a horrible rumor like that!" Penny snapped.
"hey sorry Penny now that I think about it maybe you're right, someone just made all this stupid stuff up cause I ain't never seen Link Larkin treat a girl the way that he treats Trace, besides we all have danced at Ms. Maybelle's house and just was having some fun so yeah Pen you are right!"
"I know so don't call no one else telling them about this cause it's not true Tammy!" Penny reasoned .
" Yeah I wont and thanks for making me think twice Pen," Tammy said cheerfully.
"sure thing Tammy I'll see you at school uh Thursday cause you guys did get suspended right?" Penny taunted. " Yes we did and I'll see at school soon Pen bye ," Tammy replied cheerfully again. "Bye Tammy," Penny said as she hung up the phone. "stupid kids." Penny said to herself.
Meanwhile at Maybelle's house…
"Man that was something" I.Q said to himself looking at the time realizing that it was time for him to go home. "oh snap I gotta go!" " see you guys later! my parents will be home any minute now!" He said walking out the door. Link then looked at time realizing he also should be heading home. " Ok I guess I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow?" "I'm not gonna sit in my house all day by myself. Besides I will like to eat some of Maybelle's breakfast!" Link replied as he said bye to everyone.
"Link!" Juanita began
"Yes" he said looking at her with a strange look on his face.
" oh um good bye !" she said instead of asking him for a ride because she knew that, that was going too far and all her friends had made her feel stupid for even liking Link like that, but although her conscious had thought otherwise, she wanted to ask him, she knew exactly what she was doing: she wanted Link Larkin for herself, but she knew it was wrong and that she couldn't have him so she decided not to ask him.
" Good bye Juanita see you later !" Link replied smiling one of his award winning smiles.
"Alright Link I had a good time dancing with you!" she said happily.
"So did I, I'll see you around!" he answered also happily.
Everyone started on they way home, well not everyone because everyone was not suspended from the show so some of them went to practice.
Amber was telling her grandma about everything that went on at school. Amber was snapping about how all this was not her fault.
"This is so stupid for you to try and ground me for some crap at school that is not my fault!" Amber hissed
"I'm sick of you every since I then took you in you've been nothing but trouble!" Ms. White retorted, " you been fighting, getting suspended, and all this over that crooner that with that great big fat pig!"
"oh hush grandmother I can't believe you said that this is so not about that chubby chaser Larkin, so shut up you wanna know really what this is about, everyone thinks they can bully me around cause my mother is not here well I've got news for them I'm gonna FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT I'll kick all of their asses!
"Amber Von Tussel please cool it"
"I miss my mother I know she'd believe me if I told her what happened I'm gonna call my cousins to kick Link Larkin's ass and they some real bad asses!" Amber stated as she went to the kitchen to get something to drink. "well Amber I just found out we can bail your mother out of jail now, so get cleaned up and let's eat something and go get her," Ms. White informed her.
"Ok grandmother," Amber answered.
"Finally I get to out this moth ball factory!" Amber mumbled under her breath.
Link arrived at his house to see his father's car parked out side. Link got all his things from out the car and then unlocked the front door of his home. Link begin to look around to see if he seen his dad, but he didn't so he just shrugged his shoulders…BAM Link was on the floor his dad had trucked him to the ground.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN PUNK!" Mark Larkin yelled at the teen, " Yeah I got the phone call the principal told me all about your behavior!"
Link punched his dad in the eye as hard as he could hit.
"You lousy bastard," Link muttered as he wrestled with the drunk middle aged man.
Link's dad punched him in his chest, Link was so mad that he upper cut his dad connecting the blow right to Mark's right jaw. Mark was knocked out, Link stood up to his feet and walked out the front door mad as hell yelling, "DRUNK BASTARD I HATE YOU I wish you wasn't my dad, I WISH WILBUR WAS MY DAD HE TEACH ME MORE THEN YOU EVER DID!"
"GET THE FUCK OUT MA HOUSE YOU FAG DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK EITHER LET'S SEE WHERE YOU GONNA STAY NOW!" The drunk man yelled as he begin throwing Link's belongings out the front door. " Fuck you drunk dog let me get ma shit and I'll gladly get out of your dirty ass house!" Link snapped. "with yo dirty ass tired of cleaning up after yo dirty ass anyway I do every thing for myself I buy ma own clothes, food, even ma fucking car dad, you don't do shit! Hell, I surprised we still got the house all you do is get pissy drunk and have different hoes in this house I don't want to live with you anyway you're an asshole GET A FUCKING LIFE DAD!" Link retaliated as he went up stairs to get the rest of his belongings, but Mark tried to block him. " GET THE FUCK OUT OF MA WAY!" Link snapped as he pushed his dad down the stairs and went to his room to finish getting the rest of his belongings.
Mark Larkin was passed out this time he couldn't get back up so he just laid there on the ground loaded off the alcohol that he had been drinking. Link got all his things and stepped over the middle aged alcoholic and went out the door. Link thought about it and decided to go back in the house to call Seaweed to see if he could stay there until he got everything together with his dad. Link knew that his dad was the way he was because of his mother's death. He knew that his dad had potential to be the loving and caring dad that he had experienced previously. So Link wished his dad would get his act together, maybe by him leaving would make his dad realize how bad everything was getting.
"hello," a lil sweet voice said in the receiver (Inez)
"Hi Inez may I speak with Seaweed?" Link asked her.
"yes hold on…Seaweed Link is on the phone!" Inez yelled.
"Ok" Seaweed simply said. "what's going on cracker boy," Seaweed asked.
" I need somewhere to stay, my dad kicked me out because I kicked his ass a few minutes ago," Link told him. "let me see if that's ok with ma mom hold on for a minute," Seaweed answered as he went to the kitchen to ask his mother if his friend could stay with them. "Of course Link could stay with us is he alright?" Maybelle asked. "I don't know ma he just asked if he could stay with us," Seaweed answered as he walked towards the phone. " she said you can come and stay with us, but you gone have to sleep on the couch cause I ain't sharing my room with you," Seaweed said. " Thanks man and I don't need you to share your room with me anyway, but thanks you're a great friend I really appreciate it," Link replied
"I coming over there right now I need to talk about what the hell happened so I'm on my way."
"Ok I'll see you in a few minutes," Seaweed answered "Ok bye," Link replied as he hung up the phone.
The ride to Maybelle's house was really quiet and boring. Link thought about a lot of different things as he drove. He never been away from home he wondered what it would be like living with is colored friends, he also wondered if Juanita would be coming over there a lot because he was going to be staying there now. Link thought Juanita was very beautiful and he knew it might be a little hard to fight that being a teen boy with hormones and all. Link made a vow to himself that he would never hurt Tracy Turnblad. Link just signed as he pulled up to the Stubb's home. Link was relieved but disappointed all at the same time.
