Lincoln High School cafeteria, Oak Grove

Stacy puts on a smile for Melissa and the others as she accepts the permission slip, starting to feel like they had set her up, but not really caring. "That was so thoughtful, thinks 'lissa, thats very thoughtful of you. I'll get daddy to sign it tonight, he is going to be so proud." She says positively beaming at the prospect, cheer replacing her earlier sadness.

"It might be a little tough with soccer practice, but I'll do my best I promise. I would love to come over this weekend, but uh, me and Chris, we have been together for an entire year and uh... but thats just Saturday night, If its really important... I can talk to Chris." She looks really torn about what to do. love Chris, but they're all my friends and going out of their way for me, I shouldn't just say no. she thinks to herself. "Maybe I can come over earlier and you can help me get ready?" She asks hopefully.

Its then that she notices Eric and waves to him as he comes over. "Hi Eric, its good to see you whats going on? Well, I am joining the Cheerleaders, isn't that great?" she asks grinning and playing with her necklace.

"Ah... sure, we can get together tonight for the project I geuss. I'm glad that you aren't going to be procrastinating, thats never good. I promised some people I would go to the game tonight, come with us, an we can go somewhere afterwards to work." she says her smile starting to falter, she had wanted to be with Chris after the game.

"Bye, Jason!" Lana calls out before returning to her guitar.

OOC: Lana is pretty much done for the day unless Jon accosts her for whatever plan he's got going. She'll go to classes, hang out with her skater buddies, do the extracurricular stuff she normally does...the guitar class afterschool with her music teacher, whatever. Hang out with Kate and Mike.

South High School, South Side

In Macario's mind, he always had it planned out. He'd say something charming and witty, and whether people liked him or not, at the end of the day they would have to admit a certain amount of respect for him. And that's all he could ask for at this point, all he wanted. To be seen as something more than a geek. Even though the heavy application of makeup was gross, the Duo were girls, and he really needed all the friends he could get.

But them overhearing caught him off guard, and their words stung, so when he opened up his mouth, it was to spit vitriol.

"Don't trip, girl. Freakazoid just wishes he could get some 'a this," she asserted, indicating herself and her friend flamboyantly, "instead of his scrawny, technofied girlfriend."

"Biyatch please," he threw back with a laugh that didn't reach his too-large eyes. "Get some 'a that? The two of you look like a pair of raccoons. But I guess if I looked as bad as you two do, I'd hide my face behind mask too."

He glared at them, a crooked, ironic smile on his face hiding the fact that he was angry - and scared. He tended to avoid arguments if he could, and in fact avoid the possibility of anyone even noticing him. His anger had gotten the better of him, again.

Jon chuckles and turns to his friend "Oh but that would be spoiling the surprise, wouldn't it? Tell ya what, when I get it set up you guys'll be the second to know.. After me, of course." He smiles and finishes his lunch, rolling his apple to someone else at the table who wants it, and trying to score some chocolate pudding off someone as he chats a little to them, but keeps avoiding telling them his plan as he tries to work out the details in his head.

OOC: don't wory Kit, I won't acost Lana... yet. hehe.

Kriz - I'm done for the lunch unless something else happens to me.

<Pleased to met you, Bo. Sure, I'll lead you out>, Linh replied. <I do know about a Windy City Vietnamese association, but I've never been. I can also try to point you in the direction of WCU.>

Delano’s Pizza & Pub, South Side

Joshua slowly finishes his sandwich, thinking.
There we go again. I just hope it'll be all so easy as Slim thinks it is. I just hope it'll be the last time.
He squeezes the coke can with his big hand, and throws it in the bin, then he nods goodbye to Delano and go back home

Monday, 1:36pm
Taylor apartment, South Side

Josh stops at the Jones apartment to thank Mrs. Jones and ask her if everything was ok. Again, he asks her if he can do anything for her, then goes upstairs to prepare his granny's lunch. After he has changed her and put her to bed with a kiss, he watches a bit of sports on the TV. At nearly three o'clock he goes out, leaving the TV on should his grandmother wake up before he's back, and goes to the laundry.

Monday, 3:38pm
Ching's Laundry, South Side

Josh stays for a while at the other side of the street, looking at the laundry for anything strange and waiting for a moment no customer is in, then he crosses the street, enters the laundry and turns the sign on 'CLOSED'.

Monday, afternoon
Lincoln High, Oak Grove

The afternoon roundup:

Lorenzo:

‘Zo hears the following during his grapevine shaking…

• 
  [*]Becca: “Dude, she’s hot!” “She used to date David Waverly before he left for college” “She’s acing English” “Her favorite color is purple”
  [*]Lorenzo and Becca: “Hey, I heard you guys went out” “Do you like her, man?” “I wish I was you, dude!”
  [*]Luke (most of the talk is about him at the moment): “What a jerk!” “He’s okay – he caught the winning pass last week!” “How could that girl diss him like that?” “He’s cute” “He took Lindsey Harrington into the city last week – she’s so lucky!” “Man, he gets all the girls! A different one each week!”
  [*]Lana and Stacy: “I wish I was more like her” “She’s just trying to help her sister out” “Duuuude! Twin hotties!” “What a wench!”

After that the rest of school is more or less uneventful, then home for a quick dinner (before his parents get home), and then back to school for the game.

-----

Stacy:

“Cheerleading, huh?” Eric wondered with a laugh and a sparkle of his dark eyes. It sounded like he was laughing both at her and with her at the same time. “That’s cool,” he went on with a smile. “And yeah, I’ll meet you at the game. Later.”

The cheerleaders agree to Stacy’s idea – in fact Melissa says it’s great. She ‘totally’ understands about Chris. Stacy doesn’t see Lana for the rest of the day until their dad comes to pick them and Chris up, but Lana goes home with Kate instead to have dinner at her house. Stacy and Chris ride home with Mr. DuPries, and she easily gets her dad to sign the permission slip (he seems quite proud). Chris invites her over to his house to ‘work on homework’ until it’s time for Mr. DuPries to drive them to the game.

-----

Lana:

Luke Waverly glares at Lana all through history class, but nothing else happens besides some giggling among some of the other kids (but at who she’s not sure). After getting the okay from Mr. DuPries she goes home with Kate, eating dinner with her and her family. They spend some time playing Tony Hawk and messing around on the internet before heading back to school for the game (Kate has a crush on one of the varsity basketball players and never misses a game). Her house is within walking distance of the school, and Mr. DuPries is going to give her a ride home when he picks up Lana and Stacy.

-----

Jonathon:

Jonathon has to stay after school for detention, and his parents are not pleased at the interruption of The Schedule. They threaten to ground him if he gets in trouble again, but otherwise he manages to survive unscathed.

Is Jonathon going to go to the basketball game at school? There’s also the Grizzlies game in the city – there are still seats left since it’s so cold and most people don’t want to go outside. Or perhaps something else entirely?

-----

OOC: I'll post the game soon, so no need to respond unless you want to do something specific beforehand.

Stacy's preperations
Oak Grove, Hart Home

Stacy will spend all but the last half hour before the game making out with Chris, hugging, lap-sitting, the usual puppy love kind of thing. If Chris tries to go further she will tell him she has to get ready for the game, and start preparing.

She puts on a shirt, and another skirt identical to Chris's favorite except that both are in the school colors. she pulls back her hair into a pony tail with ribbons also in the school colors. She re-applies her cherry lip balm. She applies some pink and red heart stickers to her cheeks in honor of the season (Usually temporary tatoos of the school mascot). On top of that she applies some glitter.

OOC: Thats really it, she'll spend as much time as possible with Chris, and even on the way to the game she will lean her head on his shoulder. feel free to fast forward her there.

<Oh, I know how to get back> Bo informed, then stopped to consider. <I think,> he clarified, grinning sheepishly. <Maybe you can show me,> he decided finally, swaying from one side to the other before waving for Linh to lead the way.

<And your association sounds interesting – would you like to go together?> Bo wondered as Linh led him back into the ‘tomb’ and to the stairs. <I am here for another two weeks, and I have so much time when my sister is at school. I should invite you over for tea, too! You are so nice—>

Without the slightest of warnings the world seemed to stop. The floor leaped and all at once Linh found herself laying on the ground, weighed down by the very air itself. There was a brief glimpse of Bo a few feet away, leaning against the wall with blood on his forehead as he tried to push himself up, and then it was all replaced by a blinding flash of light.

Immediately the light faded to darkness, so fast Linh couldn’t have been sure that she saw anything. Then there was pounding all about her, smashing into her body like a hundred baseball bats until she couldn’t breath, couldn’t think…

…

It was some time before Linh woke –if indeed she had slept at all, it being hard to tell when everything was dark even with her eyes open. There was a heavy weight all about her, but still some space somewhere, to the side and in front of her. Breathing, while difficult, was not impossible, and the sound of her own breath felt loud in her ears, amid the softer faraway sounds of creaking and shifting brick. Those were the only sounds she could remember hearing since Bo’s voice…

OOC: Linh takes 5 lethal damage and is disabled (only one action per round (move or standard).

"Whatever, Dandruff Boy," Brenda dismissed with a shake of her head as she turned back around.

Faith followed suit, but she raised her hand as well. "Mr. Morgan!" she complained, not waiting to be called on. "Macario farted again! It smells!"

Most of the class erupted into laughter while Mr. Morgan just looked up from his desk with a frown. "Quiet down, people," he said with boredom, completely ineffectual. If the low pay hadn't made him apathetic, then the troubled, disobedient kids had. "Keep it to yourself Faith," he instructed before going back to grading quizzes.
