Chapter 3~ First Day of Fresh Hell
Lynette rolled over and slammed her hand down on the alarm. Mumbling “Stupid screaming noise! And damnit! Now I have to tell mom we need a new clock..again!” Rolling out of bed, her foot tangles in the sheets and she falls on the floor! Rubbing her nose. She gripes all the way to the bathroom…doing a little dance in the shower, for having the foresight to wash her hair last night, she jumps out and towels off. She got dressed in the clothes she laid out and hopped on down to the kitchen. Popping the keurig lid down on her mocha coffee pod…she noticed a note on the counter…
“Good morning, my kitty cat! You will find your keys beside your backpack at the door…your jeep was delivered sometime in the night, and I know that will make you happy. We have an introductory dinner at the pack house tonight with the Alpha’s family. So, I need you home right after school, okay?
I love you monkeybutt! Have a great day!!! Mom”
“Eeeeeek!!! Yes! Hell yea! My jeep!!” then she looks around to make sure nobody heard her…laughing because she’s alone! Smart Lynette…worried the ghosts will hear!? She toasts a bagel and slathers it with strawberry cream cheese and moans as she sinks her teeth into it. Sets the coffee maker for her to-go cup of coffee…she darts back upstairs to brush her teeth.
She dashes back down..grabs her coffee..stopping by the door for her backpack and keys and jumps into her jeep…Rounding a corner, she spies Dianne standing at a bus stop off and to the side, away from the other kids. She pulls her jeep to the curb and puts her window down…asking Dianne if she wants to ride with her..Dianne shook her head and says “I don’t want to trouble you “ and Lynette replies “Pffft! You’d be doing me a favor..keeps me from talking to myself! Come on! Can’t have my new best friend riding a bus!” Dianne climbed in whispering “Only if you’re sure” and Lynette said “Enough of that’ I’m desperate for the company…and you are already my friend! Let’s play 20 questions so we know everything about each other!” Dianne laughs “You definitely have a lot of energy! Okay..let’s play. Favorite color…mine’s red..” Lynette says “Blue..favorite food? Mine is anything Italian” Dianne nods…agreeing Italian is best. Lynette says “favorite parent..mom or dad “ Dianne replies “that’s easy. I only have my dad!” Lynette comes back with “Hey! Me too.. well..not really me too.. but I only have my mom! We’re like twinsies!” And they are still laughing as they pull into the parking lot.
They hop out of the Jeep and Lynette waits at the front until Dianne reaches her. She locks her arm with Dianne’s and whispers “let’s give ‘em hell!” And they walk to the doors giggling. Lynette looks up and says “HEY Liam! I was wondering if I’d see ya this morning!!” Liam looks up grinning “Hey! New bestie! What’s shakin’!!? Oh..hey.. I wanna introduce you to my best friend..Blaze!” Lynette smiles shaking Blaze’s hand “Ahh…gamma to be, yeah? Congratulations. This is Dianne and she’s my new girl bestie!” They all separated at their classes, with the decision to meet up at lunch. And the day marched on.
Lynette walked into the cafeteria and spotted Dianne, walking over to her, asking what’s for lunch but Dianne shook her head.. Lynette understood immediately and suggested Dianne find them a table while she grabs lunch. Grabbing a tray she stood in queue..waiting her turn. She put two of everything she liked on the tray and paid…looking around for Dianne. She made a beeline for the table and sat down. Placing one of everything, in front of each of them. Lynette leaned in close and whispered “No.. I do not see you as a charity case..and I do not pity you. You are my friend..and friends look after friends. Besides, I have been in your shoes..and made fun of and bullied for it…so…Goddess pity the fool who wants to bully MY best friend “ and she smiles great big saying “Now eat!”
Liam and Blaze stop at their table and say “Can we sit with our new besties!?” And Lynette laughs…sliding a chair towards him with her boot. They sit down and start talking about their day so far. Liam said he is excited for PhysEd today because tryouts begin. Blaze agreed..saying he can’t wait to kick some ass! Lynette said “Tryouts? For what? And can I kick some ass, too?” Liam responded with “Warrior tryouts. As far as if you can kick some ass…can you?” She just smirks at him… They has stood up and Dianne stepped away to clear their trash…when Christine stops beside Blaze and sneers “Oh Liam..Liam… how low did you stoop to sit at the loser’s table?” Just as Liam was about to respond, Lynette put her hand on his arm, and shook her head…looking directly at Christine…she smiles sweetly.. and in a voice loud enough to carry she starts “Ahhh…Christine…is that your name? So…you’re the lead mean girl? Where’s your entourage? Call them over, I’ll wait” …glancing around for the rest of Christine’s troupe…she spots Damien leaned against the counter…not even taking the time to question That.. She sees 4 more girls have arrived. She smiles sweetly and says “Oh goody! You’re all here…so I only have to say this once! Understand me well! I don’t do mean girls! I don’t tolerate bullies…for any reason…in any instance. You, Christine…cannot and will not ever be able to intimidate me…frighten me…or make me cry. I am confident in who I am.. I am well aware of my strengths and abilities. Know that I will not put up with you tormenting or torturing me…or anyone I call friend! You are exactly the same girl who went to my last school. You are the exact same person in every school in the world! You believe that because you are a Beta’s daughter, that allows you to say whatever you want. You think because you are fucking the Alpha-to-be…that gives you carte Blanche to throw your weight around and torment anyone you see as a target! I’m not your target Christine! Trust me in this…Today is not your day and I am not the one!” And Lynette turns to Dianne to take her hand and walk away…but Christine had other plans…grabbing Lynette’s arm. Lynette spun and gripped the back of Christine’s head and slammed it into the table. She snarled “You were fucking warned! Why don’t you run to your boyfriend and let him know what a bad little witch I am! Or…one of your boyfriends..whatever…I smell at least 5!!” And she grabbed Dianne’s hand waltzing out of the cafeteria.
Lynette looked at Dianne and they both cracked up.. Dianne laughed “That was THE best thing I have ever seen! She won’t forget it though. She’s not capable of letting things go! And Oh My Goddess! Calling her out for being a slut without calling her a slut is my now new favorite thing! I am so so happy you moved here and chose me as your friend!”
The rest of the day was fairly decent. Although, Lynette decided she liked her art class best. She was standing in the girl’s locker room..just finishing dressing out when she looked over at Dianne and said “Who sizes these things? I’m one of the shortest people in this school and they still issue me a uniform too small!? This shirt squishes my tits down to the size of kumquats and my ass is hanging out! I can’t wear this shit!” Dianne reaches into her locker and hands her a hoodie saying “Here….it’s my dad’s.. it comes almost to my knees, so at least you’ll be covered “ Lynette hugs her and thanks her.
The girls walk into the gymnasium and it’s readily apparent everyone has separated into their little cliques. Typical high school bullshit! Lynette spots Liam waving her over so she grabs Dianne’s hand and walks over to him. He reaches his arm out and she steps into it. He points..saying “You remember my brother, right? And that’s Coach Amdrews. They will be observing today.” Lynette asked “observing what exactly?” Liam laughs and says “All of us..for strength, stamina, and endurance!” She just nods. Coach Andrews says “New girl! Uniforms only. Remove the hoodie” Lynette smiles and says “Name’s Lynette..Not new girl…and No! No! I will keep the hoodie on” Andrews said “You will only be in uniform in my class! Remove that hoodie or 15 demerits! And if you want a diploma in June..you will comply” She glares at him for a moment…then she smiles…and says “Okay…but don’t blame me when you can’t evaluate one single teenage boy on anything more than the duration of their hard ons!” And whips the hoodie over her head…spinning on her heels yelling “Let’s get this show on the road!”
She looks over her shoulder…seeing Liam and Blaze laughing so hard they have to hold one another up. Damien is just staring at her with his mouth hanging open..and the coach is beet red.. he holds the hoodie out to her, saying please put it back on…and she mutters That’s what the hell I thought!
