Kelly Unger

Fred and Kelly get into the Tesla, and in short order she's thanking the boy for driving her home. The blonde's skirt is really short, and he's not sure if he's ever seen so much thigh. And what thighs.

"Teachers doing it? Kelly asks. "Who? There was that rumor last year about Ms. Gonzalez and Mr. Edge on the school trip... and I know Coach Murdock has a huge thing for Ms. Maidstone. Or do you mean Polensky and Romanov?"

On the way to Kelly's House

"Polensky and Romanov, right in a class room. They got caught yesterday afternoon." Freddie says, looking at her thighs. "Hey are you getting my seats sticky? Synthetic leather doesn't grow on trees, or animals, or ... Nah, I'm fucking kidding. That stuff is easy to clean. "

"Can you imagine Gonzales and Edge? Wow, what a debacle that would be. I'd think they'd be fighting more than fucking. Hey, maybe that's the attraction."

He watches the road, and exceeding the speed limit a bit says, "You're on Riverpark, right?"

Zach lets out his held breath and leans on the nearest table. His knees feel a bit wobbly as the relief over how well this went kicks in. And over how he didn't get his ass kicked in front of half the school.

He is still drenched from head to toe in Sprite, though, which is only getting more gross the longer he's soaking in it. Unfortunately, Emily and Freddy, the two friends of his who have cars and could drive him home to change, have both left, so he's a bit stuck here.

Deciding to try and make the best out of this situation, once his legs feel a bit more stable again, he strolls back over to Aaron. "I had to quickly take care of that," he says. He's really trying to make his voice sound casual, like that was no big deal. "Didn't want my friend to get hurt, you know." Zach smiles at Aaron, realizing that this is definitely the most words he's ever exchanged with the cute nerd. "But I didn't mean to just leave you standing here. After you helped me out, I mean."

"How do you do it Steve, Why does trouble always find you? Did you see those photos being taken? That's all we need. I'll have to talk to Lilly later."

Relieved that they are finally getting away, Emily's heart begins to slow but only a little. It could very well be a case of out of the fat and into the frying pan when they talk to mom and dad. Just when she thinks they are home free Mrs. Romanov and Mr. Gromn accost them.

Emily doesn't have an answer but she needs one desperately. Looking them over and somehow noticing Romanov's hasty sweater adjusting, she takes a chance. A BIG chance. "We have to get home ... family emergency. You wouldn't want us to tell anyone about you two, would you?"

Fuck, fuck, fuck, I hope I'm right...

Kelly Unger
"Whaaaat?!" Kelly says, shocked at the news. "Seriously?! Are you fricking kidding? Who caught them?!"

When Fred makes a comment about his seats, Kelly unbuckles and lifts her butt, shifting around so she can make sure some kid's lunch isn't staining the Tesla's leather upholstery. "Nope, looks okay," she says, plopping back down and buckling back in. The way the girl moves, it's not hard to see why she makes Dave jealous.

When they come to her street, she nods. "Yup, turn right here."

Riverpark is a long, quiet road with lots of trees and huge properties lining one side. The river dominates the other side, and there's a walking trail and some some private wharfs and boathouses. It's the rich part of town -- richer even than where Freddie lives, by a hair, and the houses are huge and ostentatious.

"Right up there," Kelly says as she points to one of the nicer homes, a brick mini-mansion set well back from the road. "Pull right in, my dad's at work and my mom is seeing her sister this week."

Lily spins on her heel, bright red and then back to the table.

"Oh no…" she laments to Wendy.

"This place… it’s making me… one of them!"

Them…

One of the many weirdos that made up this school.

"Why is there always something happening in here?" she asks, then, a little less red and laughing.

The Cafeteria

Noah
After Banks has calmed down and returned to his douchey entourage, Noah stops by and interrupts Zach as he's talking to Aaron Connery.

"That was solid, man. You're good people, Tidwell. Banks can be an ass. People just have to stand up to him when he's like that. Like you did."

Aaron Connery
And when the dread-headed teen fist-bumps Zach and then moves off, Aaron speaks up again, finally answering.

"No worries. That was crazy brave. I'd never be able to do that, especially in front of everyone. Those guys seem to like you. The football guys or whatever, I mean. Some of them, anyway."

Wendy Lin
Some distance away, Wendy is quietly squealing with delight. She's pulled Lily off center stage and she's going a mile a minute.

"I can't believe you did that! I can't believe you took pictures! And got right in his face! And you said that! What the heck got into you!?"

The girl's eyes narrow.

"Who are you and what have you done with Lily Palmer? And most importantly, are you still willing to go to the dance with me?!"

The Hallway Outside the Cafeteria

It's a gamble, what Emily is doing, but she's desperate to get outside, to get home, to check on her parents. They'd had a close call or two before, and the frantic calls to pack and run for the car had been terrifying.

She doesn't get the reaction she expects from the two adults, though. There are no red-faced glances, there's no embarrassment or concern lining their mostly impassive faces.

Ms. Romanov
"You know?" Romanov says with a raised eyebrow... and then she's looking at Gromn... who suddenly explodes into motion and rushes forward, trying to grab the girl!

Mr. Gromn
"Come here!" he growls, reaching for her as Steve squeaks and prepares to bolt.
OOC:
Combat rounds! Now I need to remember how to pull cards...

Ah, but first, to determine if this catches you off-guard, Emily, we'll use the SURPRISE rules. Please make a Notice check.

Zach takes Noah up on the fist bump and replies with a non-committal "Yeah, man!" Usually, he'd gladly soak in the positive attention but right now he's soaking in Sprite he only really cares about talking to Aaron. When Noah leaves, Zach turns his full attention to the cute boy again. He quickly brushes past the compliment before it makes him blush too hard. "Oh, yeah, some of them are pretty cool." He shrugs. "When they're not bothering people. Sorry for what Banks said to you yesterday. That was uncalled for." Zach briefly wonders if it's weird that he remembers that. Hopefully not. He also wonders whether glasses get in the way during a kiss.

He then sighs and spreads his arms a bit to indicate how dripping wet he is. "Dumb question, but the guy I'd usually ask for a ride just left with Kelly Unger. You don't happen to know anyone who could give me a quick ride home to change?"

The Hallway Outside the Cafeteria

There are times when Emily's paranoia works in her favor. This is one of those times, in spades -- her on-edgeness and hyper-awareness of her surroundings not only lets her read Gromn's aggressive body language before the man even moves, but there are other details of this scene that the girl will later remember.

There's the pumping heat that's making the school days so long and unbearable... and the fact that the main hallways are a little cooler at least, with kids coming and going through exterior doors and such. And there's Ms. Romanov, pulling a heavy sweater tighter around herself. And the janitor? He's wearing a fleece-lined hunting vest, the one he keeps in his truck and normally wears during the winter months.

Other things pop as well, highlighted in her teenaged HUD. Both of them still in the same clothes they had on yesterday. Something dark or wet on Gromn's chest -- it almost looks like he's thrown up on himself. And finally, the most obvious thing of all:

These two just don't seem themselves. Emily hasn't known either of them long, but this behavior is just so weird...
OOC:
Extra details for your raise, and you are NOT surprised, no ma'am! Pulling your Init cards for you to keep this rolling...

Kelly's House

"Some of my friends. They were traumatized I think, seeing that much old person flesh," he says, adjusting the way he sits as she squirms. Dave's definitely gonna kick my ass.

He pulls in as directed, and whistles appreciatively, saying, "Oh my god, you live in squallor!" He desperately tries to think of a way to get inside her ... house. "Hey can I raid your fridge for an apple?"

Mr. Gromn
Romanov moves to block the exit the two teens were heading for as the sturdy but older custodian reaches for Emily!

"I said come here!" he growls again, trying to seize her by the arm.
OOC:
He's trying to grapple with Emily and entangle her -- which is opposed rolls using Athletics or Fighting (RAW is just Athletics, but I think Fighting makes loads of sense here as well). Please roll your choice, Emily!

Aaron Connery
Aaron shrugs when Zach mentions Banks's behavior yesterday. "Ah, it's okay. Kind of used to it from his type, you know? He doesn't feel good about himself, so he takes it out on other people. Like he was just doing."

Glancing at least two tables full of jocks, many of which are still buzzing about what just happened, the boy adds, "Aren't you worried that talking to me like.... hurts your image with them?" Then, there's something in his eyes that's hard to read. "After that first time... you probably don't remember... but lately you don't seem like you're the kind of guy to hang with all the athletes. Do you play a sport?"

When Tidwell mentions needing a ride, Aaron shrugs his shoulders. "I usually walk or bike. I don't have a car I can use." Then a lightbulb goes off. "I have Uber, though, for like emergencies. My mom set it up. Do you want be to call you an Uber?"

Kelly's House

Kelly Unger
At the mention of wrinkled old flesh, Kelly just shivers and makes a face. And when they park and Fred comments on her house, the cheerleading queen just smiles as she gets out. "Yeah, it's okay. You know though, I think... it's not like money solves all problems, right? And yeah, come in! I won't be long showering and changing."

So just like that Freddie Solomon finds himself being led into Kelly Unger's house. Her empty house, the one with -- he now sees -- the grand staircase in the main hall, the huge bay windows overlooking the massive back yard with the pool and tennis court... the big, open, restaurant-grade kitchen, and the balcony on the second floor that overlooks the big living room with the central hearth. It's a really sweet setup, and it's immaculate -- like a rich person's house in a movie.

"Help yourself to anything in the fridge, make yourself comfortable," the gorgeous blonde says as she leaves that large sitting room and climbs the winding staircase that must lead to the bedrooms. She disappears briefly as she ascends, then is back in the boy's vision when she walks along the balcony, obviously heading for her room. But her tank top is already off, and as she walks Fred sees her stop briefly and loosen her little skirt... which drops to the floor so she can step out of it. Solomon glimpses the girl walking down the second floor hallway, away from him, in her thong and bra... and then he watches her turn and check to make sure he sees her. There's a look in her eyes... a smile on her face... a flick of her fingers?

What did that mean? the boy wonders, standing uncomfortably in the downstairs living room. He's bonering harder than he has since that night with Priya (or maybe that morning when he watched his stepmom do yoga in the yard), and it almost hurts...
OOC:
Made some assumptions here, Q -- Fred going in, watching, etc. Just let me know if there's anything we need to tweak.

The Cafeteria

"That first time? You mean, when I knocked you down on my first day at this school?" Zach asks, his eyes lighting up at the memory. Or rather, at that fantasy version of the memory he has created in his mind since then. "Of course I remember. That was like in a movie." He lets out a nervous chuckle as he realizes a bit too much of his private thoughts might have slipped out there. At least he didn't mention what kind of movie.

When Aaron asks about whether Zach plays any sport, he replies, "I don't. I used to play basketball in elementary school, but lately..." He shrugs, not wanting to say any more. "They're just cool, you know? The cool guys everyone looks up to. So I kind of try to hang around them. I, uh, I wasn't all that popular at my old school, you know." Which is an understatement when looking at the time after he first came out. "Not that popularity is everything!" he quickly adds. In an attempt at a playful tone, he continues, "I mean, you're smart as hell. I find that way more impressive than whatever Banks does with his balls."

He then considers the offer of an Uber. "If you wouldn't mind," he agrees. "I'll pay you back, I promise."

The Hallway Outside the Cafeteria

Shriek and fight as she might, Emily can't shake loose of the janitor's iron grip once he has hold of her. He grits his teeth and grunts, straining to bring the girl completely under his control as Steve yells too.

"Leave her alone! You old perv! Let my sister be!" Steve cries, but then, suddenly, Ms. Romanov darts forward and grabs him, restraining him as well!
OOC:
First round, Gromn grapples Emily and she's ENTANGLED. That means she's DISTRACTED, which is -2 to actions until the end of her next turn, and she can't move until she breaks free. Romanov was holding her action, but seeing her pal grab Emily, she's done thing with Steve!

Emily and Steve are up to finish Round 1. If Emily wants to break free, she needs to roll Athletics or Fighting at -2, or Strength at -4 vs. a similar roll from Gromn.

Oh! If your opponent grapples your again successfully -- you'll be BOUND and therefore vulnerable to attack and even being clonked on the head and knocked out... (see the grappling, entangled, and bound rules on p98 and 101)

Steve resists being grabbed - (1d6, RA)

Romanov's Wild Die - (1d6, RA)

(5) = 5

Romanov's Athletics - (1d6, RA)

Kelly's Empty House


Freddie's heart hammers in his chest, and he wonders briefly if something is going on in the town, but then he's taking the stairs three at a time before he can decide what. This whole encounter was telegraphed hard, full of promise and deniability by both of them, and he's going for it all, a game of chicken or honest playfulness -- for his part, he's entirely honest. He scoops up her clothes and follows her into the bathroom, his own shirt coming off in a smooth tug. "Do you want me to help you wash ... these?" The playful pause is full of his own desire, the subtlety fading as their continued talk about sex and hookups leading him to this moment. "Or those?"

Aaron Connery

"Uh... yeah," Aaron says with a hint of a smile when Zach mentions the first time they 'met.' His brows knit above his glasses a little when the other boy talks about it being like a movie, but the conversation is flowing and he starts packing up his stuff and tries to not grimace at the mention of Banks's balls. Connerly does make a slight face when Zach talks about how cool the jocks are.

"Being popular doesn't make you cool," he offers, not trying to make the other teen feel conscientious. Shrugging, he adds, "And smart doesn't either. Cool is just kind of... cool, right? Kind of its own thing. James Brown was cool."

He nods when Zach accepts his offer to call an Uber, and soon enough he's on his phone, arranging a ride in the app. "So... what school did you come from?" he asks as he waits for a driving to pick up the ticket. "Is your family from out of state?"
