*When Chrysta and I get to the men’s bathrooms we catch up to a young-looking girl of about 13 pounding on the doors* Chrysta- *bending over to the little girl’s height* “Um, excuse me…little girl, u do know that this is the guy’s bathroom, don’t you?” Girl- “Um, excuse me, uh YES! And I’m not a little girl, I’m 16 years old!” *Chrysta and I exchange apologetic looks* Me- “Um, sorry about that…But what are u doing here newayz?” Girl- *trying to look innocent* “Um, whatever do u mean?” Me- “U were just pounding on the men’s bathroom doors, weren’t u?” Girl- “Oh! I uh, well……..” A far off muffled voice- “Heeeeelp! Val? Chrysta?” Chrysta- “What was that?” *trying to see past the girl* Girl - *nervously* “Huh? What? Nothing happened!” Same muffled voice- *pounding from the inside of the bathroom* “GET ME OUTTA HEA PPL!” Chrysta & me (same time)- “Frankie??!” Girl- *clutching the doorknob* “um, NO! U can’t go in there! Boys’ bathroom, remember??!” Chrsyta- “Sorry! Move outta the way lil munchkin, the yellow brick road is that way!” *we move the girl aside and turn the knob* Frankie- *falling onto the floor, then quickly getting up again* “Omg! Is SHE gone yet??!!” Me- *looking around* “Don’t worry Frankster, we’ll protect u!” Frankie- “Well the Frankster is just extremely happy to get out of there!!!” Chrysta- *laughing* “How long had u been in there for?” Frankie- “Well, let’s just put it this way: There are 3,254 tiles on the bathroom ceiling in there…” Me- *nudging Chrysta* “Well, SOMEONE really had to take a piss, now didn’t they?” Frankie- “Actually, I didn’t even have to go in the first place!” Chrysta- “Ok, what happened?” Frankie- “alright, c, I had been on my way over here to catch up with u, *pointing to me* Cate, and Gabby…u know, cuz u three had been gone for awhile…Then! Before I knew it, I had this psychotic Ds fan chasing after me! The only place I could run to was the boyz bathroom, cuz I knew she couldn’t get into there….She had been pounding on those doors forever…..until u guys finally came!” Chrysta- “Talk about ure dedicated groupie, huh?” Frankie- “Oy! Well, lets start walking back to the others…before she comes back to find me!” Me- “Well, we said that we’d meet Matt and Jesse back by the punch table if we ever found ya, so lets head that way first…” After walking back to the punch table with our found friend, we told Matt and Jesse about his pathetic fan encounter. The two were all laughs. “It’s not funny!” Frankie argued, chuckling himself. Jesse- “Now who am I supposed to look up to if ure such a wimp Frankie?!” Matt- “U know how much dancing time u must’ve wasted while sitting in there?” Jesse- *suddenly stopping* “Oh no! Time?! Crap, what time is it Frankie?” Frankie- “Uh, 10:57…” Matt- “What? Is it past re beddy-time Jess?” Jesse- “Isn’t it just about time for Chrysta to drive lil’ Matty-B. home? I think he’s getting cranky.” Matt- *protesting* “No I’m not, I’m a big boy!” Chrysta- “Ha, well actually there is sum room in my car if u and Val need sum rides, Jesse…” *Jesse and I both nod our heads in agreement* Me- “Sounds cool 2 me…” Frankie- “Good! Thank the Lord! I was NOT lookin’ forward to bringin’ home ELEVEN people in my jeep!” Matt- “U couldn’t drag me back into that car even if u tried! My life is permanently scarred from that experience!” Chrysta- “Huh?” Me- “We’ll explain it to u on the way home…” *We walk back over to the others to tell them that we’re gonna get going, and then decide to bring Eva with us, since she lived close to my house…* *~~ Inside Chrysta’s Mitsubishi Eclipse~~* Eva- “Omgosh! That was the best! I had soooo much fun!” Matt- “I think that Frankie can argue with that…” Me- “alright Eva, sooooo? U gotta tell me, did u and Ryan hook up or what?” Eva- “Uh-huh, he’s so sweet!” Jesse- “But what about Chris???” Eva- “He dumped Me, remember? That’s not my fault.” Chrysta- “I think that I’m confused again…..” Eva- “Okay, here’s the story. See, Chris and I USED to be going out…Everything was going fine until he suddenly decides to just go and dump me! I didn’t even do nething!” *Jesse and I both give each other guilty looks* Eva- “And did u see him tonite? He was hanging all over Gabby! …Guess I wasn’t good enough for him…oh well, I don’t need him nemore!” Chrysta- “lol, U go girl!” Jesse- “WAIT! THAT’S NOT TRUE!” *Everybody stops* Matt- “What?” Me- *covering Jesse’s mouth w/ my hand* “Oh, nothing…Jesse’s confused…RIGHT HUNNY?!” Jesse- *sighs* “yeah, yeah…..” Eva- *confused* “um, okay…” Both me and Jesse were kinda quiet after that part of the conversation…I could tell that Jesse was dying to blurt out why Eva was really wrong and that Chris was actually a good boyfriend, but for sum reason he just didn’t say it… Sumhow, I knew we were gonna have to tell her. Too much guilt was building up inside of me to keep it all in… I knew that sooner or later I’d probably blow up like a balloon and then have to let it all out. I was never good at keeping hurtful secrets from people. It appeared to be the same for Jesse. Maybe I would tell her soon….but let Gabby get her long subdued moment of glory first… Me- *stepping thru my front door* “Bye u guys!!!!!” Everyone in the car- “Bye!” *Chrysta’s car leaves my driveway and I head up the stairs to my bed to fall asleep for the night* %Author’s Note: Haha, I think that I hafta speed things up a bit, huh?% The next few days went by fine for me…and soon it was Friday afternoon. YES! This meant that I had already survived my first full week of school at Westchester High! So now that the weekend was here, I was ready to have sum fun. LoL, not that the pizza and the clubbin’ hadn’t already been cool, but u know…since it was Friday and all… I guess the word that would describe me was ‘pumped!’ Now that I actually knew sum of the people here, and had made sum new friends, life seemed a whole lot easier. My plans for the next two and a half days were……none. Until that is, when Chrysta had called. (%Lots of phone calls, huh?%) She was inviting me to sleepover at her house for tonight w/ a lot of the others. She told me that Matt, Eva, Jesse, Gabby, Ryan, Frankie, Cate, Chris, & Greg would all be coming too. I wondered in my head how all of us would fit, but figured that Chrysta must’ve already had it planned out. After Chrysta had given me directions to her home, we had hung up. Haha, in order to make this sleepover possible, I knew I had to play my cards correctly with my parents. I knew that they wouldn’t like the thought of letting “their little baby girl” stay for the night with a house filled with boys…So I told a little white lie & said that only girls would be at Chrysta’s house…uh, oops? Newayz, after packing and doing a little web surfing, I had my dad drop me off. Even before I had rung the doorbell, my first impression of the house was a big whooooa. Chrysta’s house was huge! Simply enormous! Now I could definitely picture all of us fitting in there without a question. After a few more moments of standing blankly in awe, I was able to get a hold of myself and say goodbye to my dad and step inside. When I got inside, a few of us were already there. While waiting for the others, I was able to meet Chrysta’s parents, who told me that they were conveniently going to be out for the night. About a half and hour later at 7:30, all the guests had arrived. Chris- “Sooooo? Now that ure parents r gone Chrys, what r we gonna do?” Gabby- “Oh hey I have an idea u guys!” Ryan- “Well, what?” Gabby- “How about Truth or Dare?” |
