Making their way down senior hallway they were met by claps and cheers from their classmates. The just smirked and kept moving towards their lockers which were right next to each other. While putting there bags away Ethan's football mate Carlos walked up to him.
"Hey Ethan I just want you to know that nobody snitched you out. We held it down for you." he put his fist out for Ethan to dap.
"What are you talking about Carlos?" Ethan gave a weird face while his sisters snickered.
"You know what I'm talking about Ethan." Carlos looked around. "The whole field thing last week." he whispered.
"Naw amigo ion know what you talking about but good catch in the second quarter last Friday." Ethan turned back to his locker.
Carlos looked around slightly embarrassed and walked away.
Zaria looked down the hallway and seen Lena along with Alicia coming towards them.
"Baby." Lena sung walking into Zaria's arms giving her a kiss. "I've missed you. I had to ride to school all by myself today." She pouted.
"Well if our significant others weren't such rebels you wouldn't have had to." Alicia elbowed Ethan in the side.
"What are you talking about Alicia?" Zaria asked with a confused face.
Before Alicia could answer both the Principal and Vice principal appeared in front of them. Ethan let out a chuckle and removed his arm from around Alicia kissing her before he closed his locker. Zaria and Daria followed suit and fell in behind the two adults. The two sisters linked arms as they walked and Ethan put his arm around Daria's shoulders. They were watched by their peers until they entered the main office.
A Week Earlier
[Monday 3:30pm]
Ethan and his teammates brought all the football equipment onto the field, also the mats for the cheerleaders to stunt on outside. They were getting ready for they're big game against their rival school Frazier High. It was the only game that really mattered to Ethan. Yes he wanted to lead his team one last time in a perfect season but if he lost this game to the Razorbacks he'd be disappointed. Gary Wayne was the Razorback's quarterback and Ethan's enemy ever since Ethan stole Alicia's eye from him.
Ethan looked across the field and seen Alicia coming his way. She was rocking her Pink! sweats and his Letterman's jacket with a shirt underneath that played peek-a-boo with her bellybutton. He noticed she was wearing little to no make up, the way he liked her. Approaching him she reached her arms out for a hug which he walked right into. Pulling away he planted a kiss n her rose petal soft lips.
"What you doing here baby?" he held her by her waist.
"I just wanted you to know that you are going to have to catch a ride with with your sister because I have to go do something for my mom." she said feeling up his muscular arms.
"You could have just called me, you didn't have to come all the way down here."
"I wanted to see you, is that a problem?" Alicia put her hands on her hips.
"Naw baby." he kissed her cheek. "I always want to see you."
"Mhmmm. And I also wanted to let you know that I saw Gary and his boys up at the front hanging around." she looked concerned.
"Speak of the devil" Ethan looked up and seen Gary and his boys walking down the track towards him. "Go ahead and do what you got to do, I'll call you later."
"Ethan stay out of trouble please." Alicia kissed him slipping a little tongue action in.
"I will. Keep your phone by you." he watched her head up the bleachers and out of his sight.
Ethan turned his attention back to Gary approaching. Ethan's teammates Danny, Josh, and Terry gathered behind him. These were also his best friends.
"What are you doing here Gary? Shouldn't you be at your school trying to figure out ways to play dirty?" Ethan asked.
"Ethan my man you still hung up on that game? Can't we let the past be just that?" Gary gave a sly smile and held out his hand.
"What do you want?" Josh spoke up.
"We just came to let you know that if you want to forfeit the game now we'd understand. You know we just got two new defensive lineman and we wouldn't want any of you weak niggas being embarrassed in front of your families when they blow right through you." Gary said in his most sincere voice.
"Got a couple ringers eh? You are the worst quarterback I know. Openly admitting that you can't be me and my squad with the people you started with in the beginning of the season. Why don't you take you and ya flunkies and deuce out. We have talent to perfect." Ethan had Gary angry now.
"I saw you with Alicia. Yeah you still messing around with my sloppy seconds? I know you can do way better than her. I mean from me to you her head game isn't that great and she's not that great of a lay either."
Ethan charged at Gary only to be stopped by his teammates.
"Touchy, touchy. Don;t get fucked up rich boy. Oh and tell that fine ass mother of yours I said hi." Gary turned around walked away.
Ethan was livid. More at himself than at Gary. He knew Gary was lying about being with Alicia. Ethan wanted payback for bad mouthing his girl and making reference to his mother.
"Alright boys let's run some plays." Coach Ryan yelled as he stepped onto the field.
Zaria sat on the track in her sweats tying her hair up for practice. She watched her squad begin to stretch while talking about the national competition they had just won last weekend. She was proud of them as a squad because when they first started it was a train wreck to say the least. Zaria was voted for captain without even putting her self in the running. She was against it at first, she had only joined because her mom required that they had to have an extracurricular activity after school and the cooking club she wanted to join filled really quickly. They only thing left was the chess club and the cheer squad. Zaria didn't want to be around a bunch of geeks on a Saturday afternoon so the cheer squad it was.
Lena sat in the bleachers with all her junk food watching their practice until she had to go pick up her little brother from school.
"Alright y'all this is spirit week so we are required to participate everyday. Thank you all for dressing like your favorite superhero today. Wednesday make sure both your uniform are here so Mrs. Terry can have them dry cleaned. The football team will be using our uniform and we will be rocking their jerseys." Zaria stood to her feet.
"Wait a minute so who's skirt is Randy wearing because he is not going to stretch my shit out." Dominique complained.
"Obviously if they can't fit into them they won't be wearing them Domo. We'll just give them out pom poms for the day." Zaria bent forward and touched her toes."
"Oh, OK I'm fine with that."
"Oh how I'm so glad I have your approval." Zaria rolled her eyes. "Anyway we will be on the Hairyback squads turf that night. Let us not forget that we represent Hutchinson while we have on those uniforms. Please do not engage in any verbal or physical altercations at the game. I don't care if they taunt you, focus on giving the crowd a good show and pepping up our boys. Do you understand?" she asked looking from girl to girl as they nodded their heads. "Alright Katie start us out with a cheer."
The girls got into staggered line and waited for Katie to yell it out.
"HEYYYYYY-" Before Katie could start the cheer someone in the stands started before the squad could.
Zaria and the girls looked up to see Jenna Conner and her squad in the bleachers doing their cheer. The way they were mocking the cheer moves had Zaria fuming on the inside. She didn't get why this girl had so much animosity towards her and her squad.
"Why are you here?" Zaria yelled.
"I didn't know I needed permission to come see your pathetic excuse for a squad." Jenna barked out.
"Oh the judges didn't think we were to pathetic last weekend when we took home that first place trophy sweetheart." Zaria headed up the stairs with Lena and her squad behind her. She stopped two steps in front of Jenna.
"That was a bullshit ass call. The guest judge is cool with your mom, of course you were going to win."
"Naw we beat you because we're better than your stuck up ass squad. Maybe if you bitches learned how to move your hips instead of looking like robots you might make it higher than third place next time."
Jenna stepped down a step as if she was going to hit Zaria and Zaria stepped up as if she dared her too.
"Hey hey ladies no need to exchange words. Jenna why don't you and they rest of the hairybacks I mean Razorbacks and go back to the stables where you belong" Lena interjected.
"Aw how you doing Lena baby? I still can't believe you left me to be with this." She gestured towards Zaria.
"Calm that noise we were done a year before I even met her." Lena said calmly.
"Well it was good seeing you again. I had fun at the little get together last Tuesday night, we should do it again sometime."
"Is everything alright ladies?" Coach Ryan yelled out from the field.
Jenna and her squad took off quickly. Jenna stopped at the top and looked back at Zaria who was staring at Lena in disbelief.
"Oh Zaria ask your girl how soft my lips were the other night?"
Zaria turned to Lena with her mouth wide open.
"You kissed her? I asked you if anything happened at that party."
Jenna walked away with a smirk.
"Z calm down she just saying that to get under your skin." Lena rolled her eyes and walked back down the bleachers.
"I'm not mad at what she said I'm mad you lied and said she wasn't there. So maybe she is telling the truth since you felt the need to lie." Zaria headed back down to the track to finish her practice. She would deal with Lena later. "Katie call the damn cheer." She barked towards the timid white girl.
Heading home after practice Zaria stopped off at Lena's house to confront her about what Jenna said. Ethan wished he would have caught a ride on the late bus instead. Zaria was like their mother whether she wanted to admit it or not. Once they got something in their head there was no stopping the train wreck of events.
Ethan watched as Zaria got all in Lena's face and screamed out how Lena was a liar and was just like all the other girls that she claimed she wasn't. Lena just stood with her arms crossed not really bothered by Zaria's outburst. that was one of the things that made him like Lena, she never played into Zaria's games. It was a rarity that he seen Lena upset.
"So you not gone say nothing?" Zaria huffed.
"Why? You already got it in your head that i done practically fucked the girl in front of the whole party so what can I say that's gone make you think different?" Lena bit at her nails.
"Fuck you Lena." Zaria stormed off back to the car and got in slamming the door.
"Yo why you making such a big deal off of what Jenna said? We both know she a liar. She fucks with around with Gary, they both show up to out school on the same day popping noise about how they screwed our girlfriend and boyfriend. You know she didn't touch her." Ethan tried to help her see the truth.
"That's not why I'm mad. She lied to me about the girl even being there E. Like what else has she lied to me about. All I have ever asked is for her to be truthful with me. Just drop it before I go back and lay into her ass some more.' Zaria slid on her shades and sped all the way home.
[Monday 7:40pm]
Sitting in the living room the triplet's sat on oovoo with a couple of other seniors planning out their senior prank. The triplet's felt like since it was their last year they would go out with something big. Their mother would flip if she ever found out they had anything to do with it, so they were planning to make sure she never did. Their father on the other hand would love to be able to say his kids were apart of some epic prank.
"So none of you have any pranks we can pull at the school?" Carlos asked?
"Aye me and mine don't do this shit often so do look over here." Ethan said stuffing some of the meatloaf left over from dinner yesterday.
"Man last years seniors did the most with their prank. Like who thinks to saran wrap all the cars in the parking lot and put chocolate pudding in the principals car. Yo Principal Duran's face was priceless." Daria cackled.
"We gotta hurry up and figure this out, I have to go write my paper for Mr. Walsh." Lena said.
Zaria rolled her eyes at Lena speaking.
"No one told you to wait til the day before to write a six page paper. And can you two make up? I'm sick of hearing Z huff and puff because you speak." Daria teased her.
"What the fuck ever slore, what we going to do the school?" Lena asked ignoring her request.
"Watch your mouth when you speak to my sister." Zaria gave Lena the neck rolling motion she could.
Lena shook her head and logged off.
"Ugh you act just like yo mama." Daria said shaking her head.
"Kiss my butt."
Just then it hit Zaria. What if they didn't prank the school?
"Hey you guys listen. Who says we have to prank our school?" She gave a sly grin.
"Whatchu mean sis?" Ethan asked before taking a gulp of his grapefruit juice.
"What if we prank the Razorbacks?"
"OK. I'm listening?" Carlos said."
"Here's what I'm thinking."
Zaria went on to tell her detailed plan on how to pull off the prank and get revenge on Jenna at the same time for earlier in the day.
*What do you think are going to do? Do you like the idea of me writing short stories? Tell me what you think in the comments.*
"Baby." Lena sung walking into Zaria's arms giving her a kiss. "I've missed you. I had to ride to school all by myself today." She pouted.
