OMG can we tell you how excited Dani was, she totally screamed! Ok so without further ado here is the Halloween Scene from Jordan's POV. (chapter 2 around page 13)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I hated the
stupid fume filled bus. It snaked through the streets of my neighborhood slower
than a turtle in quick sand. Stupid smelly bus. Of all the days my car had to
give me a problem it had to be today. It wasn’t bad
enough I had to stay after school for a meeting on how we can improve the reach
of the school’s paper to
the student body, or that Angela had been waiting at my locker to try and
convince me we should “Work things
out.” It was her idea to break up in the
first place. No these weren’t the main
reasons I was out-of-this-realm-annoyed with taking the bus home. The main
reason, it was Halloween.
Every year kids would drive through
the neighborhood throwing socks filled with dissected frogs and worms from a
high school lab. Probably some biology teacher's kid swiped and sold them. Busses
were popular targets though. The last thing I needed was a distracted driver.
I hadn't taken the bus since I got
my car and hated it even more today than I did six months ago. Each stop seemed
to take a ridiculous amount of time. First the people took forever getting on,
then as soon as the driver would close the doors and pull away we'd have to
stop at a red light. I looked around at the other riders. A group of them in
the back were dressed to impress as zombies and vampires. Didn't they know they
looked ridiculous? I couldn't wait to be done with this crowded hunk of metal.
Finally, we approached my stop. I
signaled to the driver I wanted to get off. With screeching brakes and the
belching of exhaust fumes the bus stopped. At first I didn’t notice the group running amuck in
front of my house, but as the driver pulled away the screaming and squealing of
the girls had my full focus. Five girls,
and they looked gross! I watched them as I crossed the street, covering each
other with shaving cream and eggs. A mess I'd no doubt be cleaning. So help
them if one comes my way . . . I thought as I passed them.
“See, he
doesn’t want to hang out with us.”
The voice caught my attention. I knew it, though I hadn't heard
much of it. She had to be there covered under all that shaving cream. I took a
closer look as they turned their attention from one another to me, Maria, Beth,
Kylie, Paige and Stephanie. Stephanie's was the one I had been looking for. I
didn't want to get caught up in conversation. but I had to acknowledge them
somehow. I smiled, gave a quick wave and walked into my house.
“Yes he
does. You’ll see.”
I heard Beth snap at Stephanie in her snotty know-it-all tone as I
closed the door behind me. I thought of opening the door and yelling out, no
Beth I don't. I really, really don't! Ooh Beth could gat under my skin.
"Hey Jordan," my mother called to me. "Did
you see those girls outside?" She snickered amused.
"Yeah," I groaned.
"They've been waiting for you."
As if my day hadn't been bad enough now I had more fun to
contend with. A bunch of freshman girls jumping up and down for me to notice
them covered in sticky, slimy goo. Who
thought that was cool?
"Hey, go outside, get your mind off things and we'll
get your car after dinner."
Maybe she was right, maybe I should just go out there and
blow off some steam. On the upside, there were five of them and only one of me.
That had to prove entertaining. It would've been better though if the girls were mud fighting
instead. That I could get into, watching a bunch of barely dressed girls
throwing it down in the mud wearing little more than panties and wet tee
shirts.
I let that thought run wild in my mind as I changed into
some grungier clothes. Before I went back out I peeked out the window to make
sure they were still there. They were,
and Stephanie, quiet, shy Steph unload on
Beth. I smiled. She deserved it the way she snapped at Stephanie. Good for her!
The rest of the group turned on Beth as well. She became
the main dish in a cream and egg banquet. I heard her yell and shriek. I
wondered why it made me so happy watching her get doused. Was it because
Stephanie did it? I shook that idea off. Stephanie was sweet and pretty, but
way too young. And way too innocent. Yet here I was thinking of her like that covered in mud.
I continued to watch Stephanie looking triumphant and
happy. I never saw her look so carefree. She looked beautiful, even in her
current state. Watching her inspired me. I dashed into the kitchen, grabbed a
paper plate, and filled the entire dish with shaving cream so it looked like a
pie. Now I was ready!
Amidst the craziness, the girls didn't notice me sneak out.
Once I got behind her I knew my mission was accomplished, the element of
surprise was on my side. I caught her mid-laugh as I tapped her shoulder. I
felt a thrill rising up, from my stomach to my chest.
I couldn't help the smirk that covered my face. Our eyes met and she stood there smiling,
frozen. I saw so much communicated in that smile; friendship, trust, and
desire. It was the first time I saw that
in her eyes. She was so focused on me
she didn't notice my hand or what was in it. Not until it was too late. She had
no time to duck or move.
I pulled the plate away from Stephanie's face and laughed.
Everyone laughed. I couldn't stop. I leaned over and held my stomach. I watched
her eyes change from surprise to shock to anger, but her eyes never left me.
And just like that my day got a whole lot better!
