So, it's been a week. Not bad. i finished this last night, I just forgot to upload it...
Thanks for the review bade! :) :) And the favorites and alerts! I love you guys!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Like literally, all I own outright are some clothes, makeup, and about $500 dollars as my total savings. I'm living the life of a starving artist.
Hope you like it!
That night, 5 people were gathered at the city graveyard. It was very small, as most people preferred to cremate their loved ones and not trap them in a box underneath the earth. Robbie held Rex reverently in his arms, preparing him for his final resting place. Rex was all dressed up in his best suit, with deodorant underneath his arms and a plastic rose in one hand.
As Trina and Tori approached them, Trina, looking very glamorous in high heels and shimmery clothes, asked, "Why is Rex holding a rose?"
Cat spoke up. "So he won't be lonely down there." Everybody was staring at Trina.
"What?" She asked. "I can't be here to support my.. acquaintance when he's burying his puppet?" 5 faces looked at her in disbelief.
"Trina got stood up by her date, and she wanted to go somewhere, and since my parents are out, I had to bring her along. I made her promise she'll be quiet." Tori explained.
Groaning, Trina nodded. "So are you guys going to do this or what?"
Turning, Jade gestured to a small hole in the hard ground, edging away from the shovel Beck was holding out to her.
"Help me dig." Beck said, tossing them both shovels. "Andre's afraid it's going to give him calluses and mess up his hands, Cat's too weak, Robbie's too busy mourning his freaky puppet, and Jade," He threw a pointed glance in her direction. "just refuses to. Apparently, she doesn't do labor."
"Do you want me to become a hunchback?" Jade retorted, putting her hands on her hips.
"Digging one hole will not bend your spine!" Beck retorted.
Glancing at her fingernails, Jade pouted. "Do you want to take that chance? And," she said, leaning closer. "I don't want to mess up my manicure."
Beck laughed. "I didn't know you were such a girl."
"Jade, where did you put the tombstone? Did you write your inscription on it yet?" Andre asked, trying to avoid her next remark, which would probably refer to her and Beck's sex life.
"It's over there." Jade said, pointing to a sparkly pink blob on the other side of the graveyard. "And Beck, you seemed pretty sure I was a girl when you-"
"Jade!" Robbie whined, interrupting her. "Why did you move it?"
"Because it's an eyesore. I don't know why you let Cat design it. It has hearts and unicorns all over it. I want to puke whenever I see it."
"That's just because you're emo." Cat said, smiling at Jade. "Well, that's what my mom says. She also says you have abandonment issues, but don't worry, my brother still likes you. He talks about you all the time, and he loves wearing the clothes you leave at my house."
"Your brother's creepy." Tori remarked, still digging the hole. "Did anyone hear that?" She froze, listening intently. But everyone ignored her, and soon she convinced herself that noise had been a figment of her imagination.
"I am NOT emo!" Jade shouted, glaring at Cat.
"My mom also says that you're in denial about being emo. And she would know, she's a psychologist."
"Yeah, I remember, Cat. Once she tried to take me in for a consultation.." Jade smiled wickedly.
"She still has that scar on her ear." Cat said thoughtfully. "I don't think she's ever looked at you without flinching after that."
"Not to interrupt this disturbing discussion, but let's just get this over with." Andre said, motioning towards the grave. "The hole has been dug, Robbie's cried all of his tears out, and I have a hot date with Keeko." He grinned.
Tori's head shot up. "You have another date with Keeko? The brat who didn't like me?"
"She liked you…" Andre said awkwardly, patting Tori's shoulder.
"Yeah, that's why she locked me in the pantry."
"She said she was sorry!"
"No, she didn't.."
"Well, she's hot." Andre smiled again, checking his phone. "And my date with her is in a half hour! Let's move it people!"
"Why did Tori meet her, anyway?" Robbie asked, stroking Rex's hair. "None of us got to meet her.."
"You don't want to." Tori assured Robbie. "'Cause she's a psycho!"
"So she's kind of weird! You should keep an open mind about people." Andre said, chastising her. Tori just rolled her eyes.
"Not that I care, but where's Trina?" Jade asked, looking around.
"She said she was going to get the headstone.." Tori started to call her name. "Trina! Where are you?!"
Right on cue, the gang heard loud screams coming from a corner of the graveyard, right where Tori had said Trina was going...
Yeah, I know this doesn't really go anywhere. :( There's practically no suspense until the end. And I have some more news. This story is going on a short break. I have this math project that's stressing me out, and I am part of the running crew in a play that's premiering on March 21st, so I have long rehearsals practically everyday. I'm getting pretty busy, and I'm not very inspired for this story, so just don't expect an update in sooner than 2 weeks. I'll still try to write a little, but I don't want to have to stress about updating this too. :( But in about 3 weeks I have spring break! *wink, wink*
Please tell me what you think! Was there anything you liked in particular?
