Chapter 6
NOTE From the author: I have to thank Hecate for making my english understandable from chapter 1 to 5. And to MonsterGirl 13 for reminding me of the story and be my beta reader for this chapter. Hope she stays.
I know it is a short update. Please R&R
the day was finally done, Bianca couldn't take anymore drama, even if she wanted it. She was walking out of the school, when Cameron caught her.
"Hi" said Cameron "Aren't you going to congratulate me?"
"Oh sure" Bianca, said "Congratulations" she said and gave him a hug.
"Where were you? You missed history. I took notes if you need them" he said.
"I was with Blank. I know I shouldn't but I can keep feeling sorry for the guy. You know, he is not that bad, he is just ... confused. But anyway I'm sure you would make a better president than Blank and sorry for saying it... Kat"
"Thanks" Cameron blushed. "I was wondering if you could help me?"
"Sure for what?"
"Would you like to be... I don't know what it's called, the secretary of parties and prom? You know what I mean right?"
"Yeah, but are you sure I'm the one you want there? And wont Dawn be upset? You know how much she likes to organise."
"Of course you have a great taste and you will get popularity like no one I have ever met before. Please? and I know, but she would be my first lady. So I don't think she cares"
"Then I would be honoured ... boss"
They both laughed.
"By the way we have a meeting today at my house. Eight o'clock works for you right? It's just so that everyone can meet the whole team"
" That's perfect, see you then. Bye"
As Cameron left, Bianca smiled at the thought that both Blank and Cameron, thought she would be a good as the Secretary of Prom or whatever it is called. Maybe she should have a career as a politician. OK, Enough of daydreaming. She went to the parking lot, it was time to go.
Kat and Patrick were at the parking lot in the school, making plans for the weekend. They wanted a quite night out, they were deciding between going to the movies or have dinner. Bianca saw them, and felt sick. Kat and Patrick might not be corny, but just by looking at the way they looked each other, was enough to make her feel in the verge of dying form excess of sweetness. So for making her presence known she coughed.
"Oh, there you're" Kat said
"Yeah, if you keep looking for me in Patrick's face, it would be really hard for you to find me"
"Oh my God! Bianca! I'm so proud of you, you made an irony" Kat said with her usually I'm-making-fun-of-you face.
"Really, funny"
"So, Bianca, do you have any plans for the weekend?" Patrick asked, trying to sound casual.
"Oh, right! You two need me, because if I don't go out with you, you would be stocked by dad, and you won't have time to mess around. I'm enjoying this way so much." Bianca said
" You win, we need you to have that busy agenda of yours. So do you have plans for Saturday night?"
"I actually had an offer, someone asked me on a date, but I'm not sure if I would " Bianca said with a smile.
"Why are you starting to act like a sensible person just now?" Kat asked. "Let me guess, he is not cute."
"No, he is cute. But... I was joking, of course I said yes, we are going to a party."
"A party? What kind of party?" Patrick asked, raising his eyebrow.
"The opening of a club. It would be fantastic, you'll see, even you a pair of freaks will have fun." Bianca said with all her cheer-leading enthusiasm.
"It's official you actually lost your mind. Are you crazy! We don't go to those things" She said pointing at Patrick and her. "Besides, my dad, would never leave us go to a party with alcohol, drugs, and a lot of dark corners for having sex." Kat said.
"Well, it is a shame. Because if we don't go, I really hope that watching TV with dad is fun."
"You little..." Kat
"It's ok Kat, it doesn't sound that bad." Patrick interrupted her. "I like the idea of dark corners." Patrick cross his arms "Who is your date?"
"Blank" she said
"What the hell!" Patrick and Kat screamed at the same time.
"You're kidding right?" Patrick asked, there was no way she would do that to Kat!
"What? When did this happened, a week ago you were unable to think about someone who wasn't Joey. And now you're dating Blank? I went on a date with him."
"Yeah, but you didn't even make out, so it doesn't count."
"He is your sister sworn enemy, you know that right?"
"Yeah, but that's all I have. So, at least you have a better candidate, you can take it or leave it. Because double date or not, I'm going to that party. And you two are going to help me."
"But Bianca, Blank is... I dislike him so much that I don't know where to begin with. Just be careful, will you?" Kat said "I'm afraid he has hidden motives, he always does."
"I will, I promise" Bianca said, Kat looked too concerned for her to make fun of.
Patrick, in the other hand, felt unease, he always wondered why did Kat chose him, over Blank. If he was honest, he knew Blank had much more in common with Kat than he did. Before leaving in his motorcycle, Patrick told Kat he would go to her house or bedroom to be exact.
Kat was worried too, she was certain that Blank had ulter motives. He always had, did he wanted to get her again? Or did he want to get revenge by using Bianca? By the time the Stratford sisters had arrived home. Kat had about ten different theories on what Blank was planning.
They had the first normal dinner in a long time. Bianca was lucky, Walter was so happy about getting back his regular family life that he didn't see any trouble in letting her daughters having a little taste of California's night life. The only bad part of the situation, was that Bianca couldn't get Kat to drive her to Cameron's reunion. Walter had a party at the hospital, so he was the one to drive her.
On the other hand, Kat was so happy about being left alone in her house but she hide it. She didn't want her father to get suspicious.
After dinner Bianca went to her room, she had to change. Kat didn't get why, since it was a "work" meeting. Anyway, when they left Kat didn't loose a second to text Patrick. She stayed in her room, waiting for him and finally fell asleep. She was so tired that she didn't realized Patrick was in her room. He stayed there for a while. Watching her sleep was a whole new experience. He wanted to stay, but he didn't want to get caught. So he left a note for Kat, and left quietly.
Meanwhile, Bianca and Walter arrived to Cameron's house. Bianca didn't wait for her father to speak, she just jumped out of the van. Walter called for her, but his daughter was out of reach, when he was about to leave. Walter saw someone he knew. It was a blond woman, she was doing some gardening in the front yard. Before, he knew it, he pulled over and went to the direction of the lady in question.
"Hi, it was hard to recognize you without a pregnant woman or a bottle of wine". He said when he got near him.
"You too when you are not wearing your pyjamas. What are you doing in my house? you're not following me right? I swear I'll never date online again."
"No, I hate to disappoint you, but my daughter happens to be invited to a council reunion."
"OH, right, I can't believe my son made it to president."
"You're Cameron's mother?" He asked in disbelief
"Yeah, you're Bianca's father! My psychic was right..." She said more to herself than to Walter.
"And, Cameron's mom, you do have a name, right?"
"I didn't tell you during the fire?"
"No, I asked you, but you didn't want to give me your phone nor your name."
"How rude! Well in my defence I was a little bit drunk and as a politic I never give my name nor phone when I' m not in my five senses. My name is Joan. And you're?"
"Walter."
"Nice to meet you again, Walter. And were are you going? You almost look handsome. I'm kidding I can't be serious when I'm surrounded by plants."
"Ok, I will never asked you again anything when you're drunk, nor take you seriously when you're gardening".
Walter found it would be quite easy if all the women in the world had such clear instructions. "I'm going to a party".
"Wow, isn't your date waiting for you?"
"I broke up... recently." Yesterday sounded too impressive.
"I'm sorry"
"And what are you planning on doing?" he asked when he saw another group of teens entering Joan's house.
"Make myself invisible so I can watch over them without them realising."
"That sounds like a good and boring plan." Walter was astonished with him self, he was flirting with a woman not 24 hours after breaking up with another.
"Not so boring I have..."
"Let me guess a bottle of wine"
"OH no, not any bottle of wine, but the perfect one."
"I thought they were all perfect"
"Because, as in life, the bottle is perfect if you know how to mixed it. So I have the perfect, cheese, bread and desert, to go along with my bottle."
"So, it is the perfect bottle"
" I might only need one thing". She said standing up.
"What?"
"A friend, to get along with the wine".
Walter and Joan entered the house, what they saw was a perfect group of teens, chatting. Maybe they wouldn't be necessary to hide after all.
