One hour later, me and the others including Sandy came to Frenchy's house for a girl's night in. We got into our baby doll pajamas. Well... Except me and Sandy. She's wearing a white nightgown, while I wear regular pajamas and the same gray sweatshirt. Honestly, not only makes me feel secure, but really comfy, and warm as well.
Rizzo lies on her stomach on Frenchy's bed, Marty sits next to her, her hair all curled up, Sandy sits in a chair next to the bed as Frenchy sits on the floor painting her toenails, and I also sit on the floor watching television.
"Ipana presents... Bucky Beaver!" I hear the television say. I kneeled next to the box.
"Hey look it's Jan!" Marty announces and giggles as I start singing.
"Brusha brusha brusha! Get the new Ipana! With the brand new flavor! It's dandy for your teeth!"
I've been watching Bucky beaver toothpaste commercials for a while. And the kids on the bus back in middle school I told you earlier, they made fun of my teeth also, calling me Bucky beaver.
"Brusha brusha brusha! New Ipana toothpaste! Brusha brusha brusha! Knocks out decay germs fast! Fast! Faster you're sure alright! Ipa-ugh!"
I felt a cuddly stuffed tiger being thrown at me, and I fall back to the floor giggling. I hear Marty shout sarcastically, "turn it off."
I threw it back at them along with a weird looking snake and then turned off the television.
"Hey, hand me a ciggy butt." Rizzo tells Frenchy to give her a cigarette.
Marty shouts, "Oh, me too! Me too!" And Frenchy asks, "Hey, do you want one Sandy?"
"No thanks," Sandy said politely, "I don't smoke."
"You don't?" Marty asked.
Ooooooh! This should be good! I kneel crawled to Sandy to watch.
"Go ahead! Try it! It won't kill ya!" Rizzo persuaded Sandy to try out a cigarette. "Give her a hit parade." Frenchy gives a lighted cigarette to Sandy and she gingerly puts it to her lips, and a moment later, she began to cough so hard that I giggled.
"Oh, I forget to tell ya," Rizzo said sarcastically, "y' shouldn't inhale unless ya used to it."
"Hey Sandy! Let me teach you how to french inhale. It's really cool. Watch." Frenchy takes the cigarette, inhaled, and then opened her bottom lip as some smoke goes up to her nose.
That looks so bad. "God... That's the ugliest lookin' thing I ever saw!" I chuckled at Frenchy as she exhales the rest of the smoke out and squeaks, "Nah, the guys really go for it. And that's how I got my nickname, Frenchy."
"Sure it is," Rizzo says still sarcastically. Sandy looks at me and whispers, "What does she mean?" I shrugged and then Rizzo realizes something. She picked up a bag which was lying on the floor by the bed, opens it, and pulls out a cheap wine bottle. "Ok! How about a little Sneaky Pete to get the party going!"
All of us except for Sandy cheers, Frenchy jumped up to go close the bedroom door so her parents won't hear us.
I got up and then took the bottle out of Rizzo's hand and looked at the label. "Italian Swiss Colony! Wow it's imported!" I sat down on the floor in front of the bed, gave the bottle to Marty and grabbed a bag by my sleeping bag which has hostess Twinkies in it. I would never leave home without a snack. "Hey I brought some Twinkies! Anybody want one?"
"Twinkies and wine? Oh that's real class Jan." Sarcastically Marty said. And I told her in a bossy tone, took the bottle and held it up to her, "it says right here it's a 'dessert wine'." Then I felt something hit me on the back of the head which as a magazine.
"Hey... Sandy didn't get any wine." Rizzo smiled. I took a sip of it looking at Sandy.
"Oh. That's ok," Sandy said not wanting it.
Rizzo smirked. "I bet you never had a drink before either."
"Yes I did." Sandy tells us, "I had some champagne at my cousins wedding once."
"Ooooooooh. Ring-a-ding-ding."
I got up and sat on the bed facing Sandy and about to give her the wine bottle and she hesitates. "What's wrong? We don't got cooties."
She takes it and I take a bite of my Twinkie. She sips it and made a face at the taste. Frenchy came back and asked, "Hey Sandy would you like me to pierce your ears for ya?"
Here it comes. Marty, Rizzo, and I know what's going to happen. "Dum. Da. Dum Du-"
"Oh shut up!" Frenchy shushes us to stop tormenting Sandy.
"Dum!" We finished and started laughing.
Sandy finally swallowed and made a face. "Isn't that awfully dangerous?" She hiccupped. She held the bottle waiting for me to take it.
Frenchy replied trying to make her feel good about it, "Oh. No, I know what I'm doing. I'm going to be a beautician y' know!"
I took another bite of my Twinkie as Rizzo asks, "What's the matter? Y' afraid?"
"No I'm not."
Sandy is not a coward. She's just not really like us. More of like an average type. Also, I don't know how piercing ears felt like, because I never got my ears pierced. My sister did and I saw how painful it is. I almost did get pierced, but when I was eleven, I got claustrophobic and freaked out that I locked myself in the bathroom for five hours.
"Here Frenchy," Marty said as she give her a pin. "You can use my virgin pin."
"Yeah! Nice to know it was good for something!" I giggled in a dirty way teasing Marty as she shoots me a "shut-your-mouth" look.
Frenchy went on to put it into her ear, despite Sandy protesting about her old man forbidding bad things happening. She yelped.
"Uh... Sandy... Why don't we go into the bathroom?" Frenchy asked taking Sandy by the hand who has one of her hands holding onto her ear. "My mother will kill me if I have blood all over the carpet."
"What?" Sandy asked worried.
"It only bleeds for a second."
As she's about to go in Sandy says still worried, "Frenchy... I don't feel very well."
Rizzo tells Sandy not to worry and try to help. "Don't worry about it Sandy. If she screws up, she can always fix your hair so your ears won't show."
Frenchy just pulls Sandy inside and I giggled while eating a Twinkie. Honestly, this is very amusing. I don't know why I'm so mean, but really.
I heard Sandy scream and a split second later, Frenchy poked her head out the door and asked, "Can you please get me some ice to numb her earlobes?"
Marty replied making her feel dumb. "Why doncha just let the cold water run and stick her ear under the faucet."
"Oh..." Frenchy immediately shut the door to finish.
