While the entire class waited for their teacher to walk in, they talked away the time. Jody, Anita and Bethany gathered around Fay's desk talking about everything, anything and nothing. Lacey kept her distance, listening to them from her desk beside Fay's. Anita sat on top of Fay's desk while Bethany and Jody shared the one behind her's. "You should try it some time i like it. It's so good. I can't stop thinking about it." Bethany spoke, waving her hands around.
"Anyway," Jody started "Darin looked at me today." Simultaneous groans from Anita and Fay, and eye rolling from Bethany. Lacey shut her eyes and shook her head, laughing internally. "Oh! Come on guys. It's true you've got to believe me. I was walking into school and he did, then he winked. Real breath taking move.""Jody, stop it." Anita shot."For the love of all things, it is true. Why is it so hard to believe? No one answer that." She pointed from one to the other, upoAnita sat forward, impatiently waiting for Lacey to talk. Lacey took in the eager look on their faces with a sly smile. Time passed and their patience began to thin out. "Damn it speak or I swear!" Anita barked hitting the desk. Bethany's attempt at disinterest did not work as planned as she tried to hide her gaze in her phone. "Lacey speak would you." Fay added."Fine." She sat up, smirking. "I was watching from behind her locker, you know beside that Home Economics store room. And he walked up." She stopped to watch Jody take her seat in silence. "Yeah and?" Anita shot, ignoring Jody's arrival."And he just kept walking." Fay scoffed. "Like we were invisible. It was just us. But he just kept walking." Seeing the grumpy look on her face while the other three looked at her in shock felt good. "You know what? Whatever okay, it's probably because you were there
Tom closed the door once they were inside. He watched her look around the front hallway. The loud thumping of her boots on the wooden floor getting his attention. Smirking, he reached for her, snaked his hands round her waist and pulled her into his body. "I didn't even notice those crazy boots. Are they meant for crushing skulls? The thumping is so loud anyone around would know you're walking." He said nuzzling the left side of her neck. She tilted her head to the side chuckling. "The heels are just heavy you idiot." "I know that." He stepped to her right. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go put my room in order." "Uhh uhh." She shook her head and wagged her finger. "No way. So that you can take down your posters and all the things I mentioned that you might have?" He watched her in amusement. "No way." "Unlike your room which is always clean,
"I'm so tired." Tom groaned, resting his head on her lap. She laughed at his move and proceeded to Stoke his hair. "Mmmmm" He moaned. "Now I know why cats love this." "Just don't purr like one.""Are you kidding? I'm too tired to try it." "You're not the one who had to stay back for extra classes.""Maybe not. But the guys and I were practically up all night. And then classes didn't help." He turned his head. "Sorry I couldn't see you yesterday." "No problem. We can't be together all the time. I need you to miss me sometimes." She kept on stroking his hair. "Can you read minds? Cause I was thinking the same thing.""No you weren't." She tugged his hair. He hissed. "Okay fine. But I was going to agree.""Uhh huh." He
Once Lacey opened the front door, the first thing she saw when she looked up was a shirtless Darin. Without giving it a thought, a squeal escaped her mouth as she ran to him and jumped into his arms. Laughing, he made sure her feet had touched the floor before he stepped back. "You are my hero!" "A little lower Lacey. Sadey's asleep." "I don't care. That was awesome. Did you really plan all of that?" "No." "Really? I don't even know what to say to that." He nodded. She wrapped her hands round him again. "Thank yo
With each picture shown and a little story behind what happened before and after it was taken, Lacey laughed. "You really should have been there." Fay said for the sixth time that day. Which was less then how many times Bethany said it. "Maybe next time. I had classes all day and I was so tired afterwards. But it looked like you had so much fun." "Assuming we get invited again next time. And if we can find a way to all go." Anita said as she plucked a leaf from the tree they stood under. "Oh look who it is." Anita brushed her hair back. Her statement making the other three to look in the direction she was looking. "Jody." Bethany spoke first. "If I talk to her today it would be too soon." "You know, Anita annoyed me but here she is with us." Fay felt the need to remind
"Really?" Lacey asked twirling her fork in Darin's bowl of pasta. "You think that's a good idea? Taking Shawna to prom?" She stood beside him. "Why the hell wouldn't it be?""Well for starters, I didn't think you were going." "No one thinks I'm going.""What about Diana?" She brought another fork full to her mouth. "Bradley and Christopher both want to take her. I was never going to. Besides, I think I should go with Shawna. She's been fun to play with so I'm giving her something she sort of wants." "What if Diana wants you to take her?""Who cares what she wants? And go get your own food and stop eating mine. There's plenty more in the kitchen." "Fine." She licked her lips and left with a sigh. He scoffed. "I'
The very next day, Lacey stood beside her mother while she hurriedly gathered her things from her reading table and dumped them in her black hand bag that matched her black pencil gown. "Mother, I want to ask you something." "What is it sweetness? I'm in a hurry, I'm almost late." She grabbed the bag and walked out of the room. Her shoes thumping as she moved, with Lacey trying to keep up beside her. "Ok. Umm..." She search for the right words. "Umm... Ok...""Spit it out Lacey I'm late." They started down the stairs. "Ok... Ok... Umm... London.""London? Toni?" "Toni.""Parents?" "She's asking.""If they agree then we can dicuss it further." "Thank you." Lola took the bag from her and went out the door. Lucille chuckled. "What?" Lacey asked. "Funny conver
As the summer holiday was about to come to an end, Tom dailed Lacey's number and wedged the phone between his ear and his shoulder while he took the basket of clothes handed to him by the maid. He winked at her and closed his room door. The phone had barely rung when he heard her voice. "Please tell me you're ready to leave tomorrow? Cause I can't wait to see you." "Hi. Sadey is that you?" He chuckled."Very hilarious. Are you ready though?" "In the middle of packing actually. Why are you so excited about me leaving? You wouldn't even be back till next week." "I just want to know that you're there when I get there. You didn't get to say goodbye and I miss you." He chuckled again. "I miss you too. It's too bad Toni still has you all to herself. My dad has this thing the weekend before school starts, and before that my friends
