OHMIGOD! We FINALLY updated! Hahaha! Too bad it's just one chapter! Mwauhahahahahahaa!

Enjoy - Scitah

Wednesday found Sally in town, leaning against a wall watching people go into various shops.

Sally tugged at her Letterman jacket as a cold breeze blew past. The weather was getting colder, that was for sure, which meant Track was coming to an end because Bullworth had no indoor track.

"Shit." Sally muttered. Winter and Fall were never her favorite seasons.

Calmly, wearing his jacket and a ski hat, Gary came down the street to her, he had this insane, slight smirk playing at his lips. He stopped before her, "Hello Sally, glad you came." he said snidely.

Sally felt a wave of dread and terror wash over her at his appearance and his speaking her name like that, "Not like I really had a choice, Smith." she growled back at him, making it apparent she wanted nothing to do with him and that it would be eons before they were friendly towards one another.

"Don't be so hateful" he gasped, one hand over his chest, "It's not my fault you're a snoop!"

"I was only looking out for my own." she spat viscously at him, "And don't act like what I say makes any fucking difference to you, you ass hole."

He smiled, "You're so smart, huh? Come on. Let's go somewhere so we can discuss in private." and started for an alley.

Sally grimaced, "An alley? You're so cliché, Smith." she grumbled before following slowly, hands free, just in case.

She hoped to God that Gary had yet to see Eva in person or up close, because Eva was following with sufficient distance and watching Sally's back.

Gary smiled, "You have something against being cliché? I wouldn't think so by how you live." he mocked at her, leaning against the dirty alley wall.

"Now who's the snoop?" she growled back, staying away from the walls and a good few feet from Gary.

"I'm not a snoop. Everyone on campus knows about you and Johnny's dysfunctional relationship." he said

"How is a dysfunctio-" she stopped mid sentence and took a step back, hands up, "I'm not here to discuss my personal life with you, Smith. What the fuck do you want from me?"

"I want you to help me." he said calmly.

Sally blinked. Sure, she was thinking he might ask something to that effect, but hearing it…

Sally broke into a chuckle, "Me? Help you? You need to take your meds, smith. Do you honestly think you'll get another simple slap on the wrist this time? They will lock you away for ever! And you're so simple minded on what you're taking over! A school? Honestly! I thought you were better than going for the same thing twice!"

"I don't want to take over the school" he spat, "You need to terrorize the preps, and then when I come you have to stop, they need to think I can help them." he said.

Standing still a moment, Sally thought it over, "Haven't I terrorized them enough? I paid them back ten fold for what they had done. And how in the hell would you be able to help people who buy their own bullshit?"

"Just do it." he said and then smirked again, "Or I'll tell Johnny all about this. All about out connections. About you breaking his one rule."

Sally lunged at him, clutching his jacket, "Don't you dare drag him into this, Smith! You played your cards on him last time and you near destroyed him and every one else! Don't think I won't find a way around your conniving ass!" she hissed out, glaring heatedly into his eyes.

"Johnny is simple and if he thinks you're doing something he doesn't like, no matter hwat, he'll drop you like that!" and he snapped his fingers for emphasis.

Sally ground her teeth.

Gary was right, but she didn't like how he knew so much and just wanted to pound his face in for being so knowledge-d.

"That won't stop me from protecting him or kicking your sorry ass, Smith. Face it; You end up with your ass kicked either way." she said lowly.

"And you end up without Johnny. Take your pick- kick my ass and be single or keep your boy and do what I say" he said, still keeping unnaturally calm.

Sally sighed through her nose, "Don't expect me to cuddle up to you after this bullshit, Smith." she said, releasing him roughly and stepping away, "Nor should you expect me to take a hit for you."

"I don't. Annoy the preps and stop when I come up. That's ALL you have to do." he told her firmly.

"What do you mean, when you come up? Like show up? Is this to happen over a course of days?" she snarled, crossing her arms.

"This will happen as often as I see fit." he replied easily, "I'll tell you when and there's no set time period."

"You gonna tell me how to torture them now, too?" she spat like a child, spiteful and angry.

Sally was totally unhappy with this. The only good part of this was that she got to torment the preps, who were near destroyed any ways.

Gary shook his head, "No, you have fun with that." he said.

Taking a deep breath, Sally calmed her nerves a little, "When should I start?"

Her voice was empty and the look on her face blank. She was going to protect herself from Gary, too. Not let him in. Never let him see how angry he made her.

Or at least, she was gonna try!

"I'll tell you." he said, "When you see my on campus make an excuse to get away from Johnny. We'll meet by the library and I'll tell you." he said.

A flash of anger washed over Sally, but she pushed it back and nodded, "Fine. Is this meeting over? I'd like to head back to the Tenements, now."

He thought a moment, "For now it is. I'll tell you when we need to talk again." he said.

She inwardly snarled at him and turned, moving to get out of the alley, desperate for clean air uninhabited by Gary.

Gary let her go and went on his own way.

Sally shoved her hands in her pockets and began her long walk back to the Tenements.

A few blocks later, Eva cleared his throat, "That went…" he stalled, "Calmly."

Scoffing lightly, Sally kept quiet.

This, of course, worried Eva dearly, "Oookay. What happened?"

"I'm forced to work for Smith." She answered, ducking her head into her jacket collar, covering her nose from the biting cold.

"Shit." Eva shook his head, "What kinda work?"

"He wants me to terrorize the Preps some more. But then, when he shows up in some way, I have to stop to make it seem like he's a fuckin' hero to those douche bags!" Her voice was muffled from the warm jacket.

"Well… That's not that bad, Sal." Eva offered, only earning a glare from Sally.

"You know I don't like taking orders from sociopaths."

"I know." It was silent between them as they waited for a particularly slow car to pass them by, "Need a hand delivering devastation to the snobs?"

Sally thought a moment, then shook her head, "I'll handle it. I don't want you getting dragged any further into my mess."

Eva was silent until they reached the Tenement doors.

"You know you don't have to handle everything on your own, right?"

Sally glanced back before opening the door, "I know."

Immediately when they stepped through the door they heard arguing. Of course. These guys were always arguing!

"Shut up!" Johnny was shouting.

"It IS true! You ARE whipped!" Lucky was laughing at him.

"Am not! Shut up!" he yelled again.

The other guys were all laughing too.

Sally rolled her eyes, she was so sick of this whipped bullshit… "If you all don't shut up, I'm going to start giving you girl names… Starting with Lucky being renamed to Lucy. How's that sound… Ladies?"

Eva snorted and looked away as if to say, 'I am not here'.

Lucky looked at her, "Aw, c'mon, we're jus' playin' with him!"

Johnny blinked, "Is there a girl name for 'Johnny'?"

Sally frowned at every one in front of her, "Haven't we had this conversation? And your new name would be Jenny." she responded to both boys, hands on her hips.

"Have we had this conversation?" Johnny blinked, ignoring the 'Jenny' thing.

Sally sighed, defeated and shook her head, giving up the argument, "What ever."

Eva frowned and watched her walk into the kitchen.

Johnny noticed her bad mood, he got up and followed after her like a puppy, "Sally, baby, what's wrong?" he asked her.

Eva quickly moved to the other guys and explained as quickly and efficiently as possible what went down while Johnny was outta the room.

Sally sighed, "I just hate this weather. And track is ending because fucking Bullworth doesn't have an indoor track! I feel depressed…" she listed with a small scratch to her head, then her eyes widened in shock, "I'm late."

"For what?" he blinked, totally confused.

Sally stiffened and walked to the window, placing her head on it, reveling in it's chill against her now fevered skin. "My period."

His eyes widened, "wh- whaaat?!" he gasped.

"I haven't had my period in about two weeks. I should have noticed sooner! Shit. Shit!" she cursed.

Cursed Smith, the weather, sex, periods, and mostly, herself.

What the hell was she gonna do if she was… You know? Pregnant?

Johnny sank down, "Aw, fuck, Sally.. Fuck, fuck!" he cursed, eyes wide.

"I know! I know, damnit." She felt sick from the topic and didn't know what else to do or even say. Except for, "Shit."

Johnny walked over and hugged her, "Look, calm down. Buy one'a them tests. Ain't no sense in worryin' if we dunno." he said calmly though he was also nervous.

"And what if I was?" She asked in a whisper, looking out at the grey skies getting darker by the second.

"We'll worry 'bout that then, Sally" he told her.

She nodded, "I'll go and get a test…" she shut her eyes and sighed, then turned into Johnny's arms and held onto him for dear life.

It felt like her life was crashing down around her!

He held her tightly, "It's okay. It's gonna be okay, Sally, I promise." he said.

"I can't have no kid, Johnny. I just can't." she said, nose stinging, eyes blurring, voice cracking.

"Sally if you're pregnant then ya' gotta." he sighed, petting her hair and kissing her again, "But please don' worry 'bout it."

She nodded into his shoulder, "You're right. It's just… Today was horrible… I mean, I love track! And I hate colder weather… Makes me all unhappy and shit."

He smiled, "I know, but hey, 'least it's warm in here" he said.

She smiled back at him, "That's true." she cleared her throat, "Any ways. What should we have for dinner?"

"I dunno…" he shrugged, "Wha'ever ya wanna make?" he guessed.

Sally nodded with a playful smirk, "I should have known you'd be no help there!" she joked, slipping her hands into his and entwining their fingers.

Johnny pecked her on the lips, "I'm not much of a help with domestic stuff"

She laughed, "I've noticed. Now. Get outta my kitchen so I can cook. And send Hal in, too."

"Aye aye!" he nodded, saluting in a mocking way- kissing her a last time before heading out the door, "HAL!!" he screamed in the hall, "GET YOUR FAT ASS IN THE KITCHEN!!"

Sally winced at the shout, then shook her head with a laugh.

Eva nodded at the guys about what was really at the core of bothering Sally, then blinked over at Johnny, "So. You given any thought 'bought what I said? My license to wed has yet to expire!" he joked.

Johnny groaned, "Jeez- I dunno" he huffed, "Is that a good idea, Eva?" he asked out loud. Even if it was sort of a joke he was thinking about it seriously.

"Getting married to Sally? For you, I would hope so." Eva stated blandly, "Have they beaten' the whole whipped thing into your head that you're second guessing everything?" he joked again.

Johnny shook his head, "No way" he said, "Just... I dunno if I'm any good for her.."

A loud scoff echoed from Eva as he stood, "When you left the kitchen, was Sally crying or smiling?"

"Uhm.. well, she weren't cryin'... but wasn' exactly her usual smile." he answered.

"And she almost had a meltdown, right? But you were able to keep her from falling apart… Right?" Eva grabbed Johnny's shoulders, making his point.

Johnny nodded, "Well, yeah, I guess so.." he said.

"There is no one better for her than you, Johnny. I couldn't even get her to snap outta her funk on the way here! Now, that is sayin' something'! So, quit your bitchen'!" Eva then sat down in a chair from the dining table. "Now, tell us what she told you."

Johnny blinked, "Eh, well, not much.. uhm.. she's depressed over the weather an' stuff is all" he said blinking. Sally could tell Eva about the period thing but his gang did not need to know.

Eva nodded, "She never did like winter or fall. Likes the weather that she can be outside in!"

Johnny smirked, "Not like she can't be active inside.." he grinned- thinking up a thousand things they could do up in his room.

"If your thoughts don't involve me in any way, I don't want to know, boyfriend!" Eva said, waving Johnny away with a smirk.

"They don't" he grinned at that fact, "An' I wouldn' share anyway."

Eva gasped as if hurt, "Oh, luva, that hurts!" hand to his chest.

Sally then walked out, "Where the fuck is Hal?" she looked around, "Is he stuck again?"

Hal jumped up, "Coming Sally!" he cried, running to her.

Sally pulled him into the kitchen and they got to work.

Eva chuckled, "She is the mighty and fierce Dragon, loyal and frightening. When she roars, the earth shakes and trembles at her rage and the villagers offer up their children to calm her tempers. Her dwelling is full of treasures and bones from the bravely stupid. Yet, she protects the city around her cave, for they are her little humans, and no one else's!"

Johnny laughed, "I don' think we're bowwin' down t'her.." he said

Eva stared at Johnny, stock still, for a moment, then burst out laughing, "If she had to walk over a puddle and you had no clothes to throw over it, you'd throw yourself into the puddle so she wouldn't have to get her feet wet! It's your boys who don't bow to her."

"I would not" Johnny said, "I'd pick her up and put her on the other side of it." he said.

"And then she'd ask why th'hell you did that. And You'd go all mushy and lovey-dovey on her and then you'd make out and give a senior citizen a heart attack!" Eva snorted again.

Johnny grinned, "I'm kinda' lookin' forward t'that!"

Eva nodded and looked away, "I'm sure you are… I'm going to… Go this way." he pointed towards the kitchen, "Into the cave of the Great Dragon Lady!" he shouted back at the guys.

"Dragon Lady!" Sally was heard shouting, "You know you shouldn't talk about yourself like that, Eva!" she laughed.

Johnny burst out laughing too, "Yeah! Since ya're more girly than Sally" he teased.

"Oh, Shuddup, Jenny!" Eva hollered back at Johnny from the kitchen, earning quite a few laughs.

Johnny glared, "Shut it." he said irritably.

Mwuahahahahahahaaha! It's just 6 pages long! Any who! No one has figured out who Eva is based off of, yet! Oh well... I'll give you people a hint; H... B... O... Yeah! He's from HBhOe! ROFL! Tootles! You might get a Chapter update next weekend! - Scitah
