Checking out this "Mountain Lake"

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri May 11, 2012 1:34 pm

Haley extended both middle fingers and continued to walk away...hiding the slight flush of embarrassment from the unintentional exploding tree.

"So... er... where did you get the hickey?" She asked more quietly.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri May 11, 2012 4:30 pm

Stephanie bolted through the woods after she heard the tree practically explode, reaching the waters edge, shifted into her half form.

"Girls okay?" she growled, her eyes darting around, catching glimpse of Haley walking away and looking back quizzically at the two in the water as she shifted back to human form.

"Alex." Christie said quietly "But its kind of a long story."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:25 pm

"We're... we're fine, Miss Kaltiera."

"...wait, so she wasn't making that up?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:32 pm

Alex, who'd already been coming to the lake, came hurrying in from the other direction. "What the hell was that!?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:37 pm

"Haley threw a tree, but its ok." Christie said "And nothing is going on. Its just...its complicated."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:40 pm

"She... threw a tree? Crazy bitch... everyone's okay? What's complicated?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:41 pm

"Wait, wait, why the hell did he give you a hickey?!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:43 pm

"This" Christie said, pointing at the hickey, speaking at the same time Brigid asked her question.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:45 pm

"Oh shit," he sighed, watching his life start being complicated again.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:51 pm

"The little one did that? Goodness...sh...I'll go talk t..." Stephanie watched the unfolding trainwreck, trying not to smile.

Oh high school...

She crossed her arms over her chest, not sure she wanted to leave quite yet...and not sure who she might have to separate from whom if they actually did come to blows.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 6:57 pm

"Well don't anyone answer me or anything!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 7:47 pm

"Well she... asked me to because... ah shit..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:20 pm

"So... what, you just make out with any girl who asks?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:25 pm

"No! I didn't make out with her!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:42 pm

"So what am I supposed to think here? Okay, she asked you to give her just one hickey and promised not to enjoy it?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:45 pm

"Well, the 'not enjoying it' was more implied than stated out loud."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:50 pm

"No, I'm pretty sure I told you that I didn't enjoy it." Christie corrected.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:51 pm

"What kind of an idiot do you think I am, Alex?!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:54 pm

"Don't you think I could come up with a better story than this if I was going to try to make something up!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:57 pm

"That really was what happened." Christie said "I swear, it really does make sense. And besides, it happened before he even asked you out."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:58 pm

Stephanie had retreated back into the cover of the woods to at least give the appearance of some privacy.

...and to let herself facepalm if needed.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:00 pm

"Who even does that?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:02 pm

"Someone who's trying really hard to piss off her dad and doesn't actually want to do the stupid shit that would piss him off, apparently!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:03 pm

"Yeah, well, you sound pretty disappointed!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:11 pm

"Of course he is! He probably wanted to enjoy it the first time he gave someone a hickey!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:15 pm

"Because the only thing that was was awkward as hell!" he said, pointing at the hickey.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:16 pm

"Maybe I'll just leave you to practice a bit," she grumbled as she headed for the shore.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:19 pm

"Wha- Brigid, what do you want me to say here!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:22 pm

"Brigid, he's telling the truth. I did it to piss off my dad. I'm totally not into Alex. At all."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:24 pm

"Then when you figure out what frigging planet any of this makes sense on, let me know."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:26 pm

"What the... God damn it!" He didn't go breaking any trees, but he kind of wished he could as he started storming off on a long way back to the camp.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:34 pm

"Don't wander too far," a voice from the trees not far from Alex cautioned. "If you need to talk, talk to one of us. We've all been..."

Well. Truth be told she didn't know anyone quite as screwed as Alex in high school...

"...in high school, so we know it's tough," Stephanie said, diplomatically.

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 9:57 pm

"Can I start at the beginning?" Christie asked

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 10:15 pm

"Between this and the Haley thing, I'm just tired of being jerked around, Christie!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 10:50 pm

"I'm not jerking you around!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 10:53 pm

"Yeah, well maybe he is!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 11, 2012 10:54 pm

"No, he isn't. He was doing me a favor. As a friend."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri May 11, 2012 10:59 pm

"He likes me, then he's scared of me, then he likes me again, then he makes out with Haley, then this..."
