Stacey's Ex-Best Friend! Part 2!
Hey, dolls! I have a favour to ask. Listen to this song I'm listening to. Does it make you as uncomfortable as Hell? I don't know if it's just my association with the game that had me super nervous at that part or what. Whenever I hear it I get goosebumps and feel slightly sick. And yet I keep listening to it. It's not the only Silent Hill song that makes me feel that way either. So I want to know if it's an association thing or is it just creepy music. Thanks, guys! I know I'm weird.
Part 1!
Chapter 6
Starts with Stacey waking Laine so they can go to school and again, this is just weird to me. Do things like this really happen? Can an out of state teen just waltz into a school? Do schools really have an open door policy? Stacey says she had to get permission but still. Laine says she can't believe she's going to school on vacation and yeah, I can't imagine that either. But since there's nothing to do at home but watch the eeevil TV, she decided to go.
At school Laine, who is a snob, rolls her eyes at all the rules. Because at her 'sophisticated' school you're allowed to make out in the halls and smoke and get pregnant and shit. At lunch Stacey says-'"We can sit wherever we want, with whomever we want. We can eat whatever we want. We can change places., We can go back and buy more food."' And I'm not gonna lie, folks, I laughed at loud at that one. Just the fact that she's acting like totally normal things are going to impress Laine gives me the giggles. I mean, have you ever been to a junior high cafeteria where you couldn't sit with whom and where you pleased? Or that you can eat what you want? Like was Laine thinking it would be all Dickensian and they'd have to ask for more gruel?
Stacey and Laine sit with the BSC but Stacey asks some of her other friends to join them. Somehow Kristy doesn't shank Stacey for sullying her view with outsiders.
Kristy's also in a pissy mood because Bart's not sure he'll make it to the dance. God, Kristy just wait two minutes and I'm sure there'll be another one. Some of the boys Stace invited are playing with their food making molecules except for Pete Black who is smitten with Laine. Yeah, I remember this book being harsh on Pete and I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Pete just always seemed like a nice guy. I was really rooting for him and MA to get together in Mary Anne Misses Logan. Maybe I just like guys named Pete and a colour.
Chapter 7
At home Stacey tells Laine that Pete likes her and they should go to the dance together. Laine doesn't want to because she thinks Pete is a 'dweeb'. Shut up, Laine. At least he's not a creeper like King. And he doesn't have a douchebaggy name. Laine thinks poorly of Pete because he told her she had hair like gossamer and King tells her things like 'Awesome, babe.' Yeah, what would you rather have? A compliment about fairies or something that usually proceeds 'Now make me a sandwich?'
Stacey tries to convince her and Laine finally says she's worried that King will think she's cheating on him. That's a fair worry so I won't fault her that. Guys can be insecure. I mean, look how Logan acted when MA was just in the same city as another boy. Laine goes to call King and the phone rings and it's His Highness on the line. Laine kicks Stacey out to talk to the royal ass alone.
Stacey eavesdrops from her room and hears Laine say 'childish' and thinks she's talking about the BSC clients...Stacey, were you just hit in the head? Did you not get the memo? Laine's a snob now! She thinks your friends are childish. I know you're a math nerd and not a sense nerd but when has anyone used the word 'childish' to describe an actual child? Never, you half-wit!
Laine come sauntering in after her call with King and Pete calls up to ask her to the dance. She agrees and when she hangs up she bursts out laughing because Pete told her she has eyes like limpid pools. Laine says she has to tell King about that and kicks Stacey out again. Stacey listens in to her conversation and notes that Laine is making Pete sound like an idiot. She thinks she's doing it so King won't feel threatened. Stacey, Laine is a snob now! Get it through your head!
Chapter 8
Baby-sitting. Hobarts. Vamlumtimes. Next!
Chapter 9
As I was reading this, Cabby reached over and licked my butt. He's been doing this lately and I have no idea why. At a BSC meeting MA, Kristy and Mal are all in bad moods because they're fighting with their boyfriends. Mal got in a nerd fight with Ben because they're nerds. MA is upset because Logan wants her to actually dance at the dance. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm on MA's side here. It's sweet that Logan wants to dance with her but he should know not to push into it. She obviously has issues with it and he should understand that. Even though I'll probably never go on a date, if I did the person taking me would have to understand that I have bad social anxiety and would not be dancing or anything else that draws attention to me. Or even what I think will draw attention.
Anyway, because it's the BSC and they believe silly things they think that because Friday the 13th is coming up they're getting bad luck. Did you idiots learn nothing from the bad luck mystery book?! Also I always celebrate Friday the 13th by bothering Cabby and giving him lots of kisses. It's a good day for witchy moods. Some boring kid's Valentine's discussion and ah! Something not totally boring! Laine asks them why they baby-sit rather than getting a real job like her. She's going to be working at the swanky boutique ~La Child Laboúr~. Children can't work for a company, Ann! Unless they're related! *wink* Thanks, Anabellabobella!
Chapter 10
So it's Friday, the day before Laine goes home and Stacey's having some confused feelings. She notes that Laine has been a total snobby pain in the ass and wonders what's up with that. Not gonna lie, but when I was about 15 I had dropped out of school and ran into one of my old friends and she was totally different. There I was in some nerdy ass shirt and jeans and she was all glammed up and stylish. And it was weird. I kinda realised that I would never be a real stylish girl and would forever be a nerd. And it kinda hurt. But now I have friends who love me and embrace my nerdiness and I couldn't be happier. And I've gained a little style.
Stacey is determined to have a good time with Laine. She goes into her room and Laine is reading some dumb bodice-ripper called Summer of Diamonds. Yeah, how sophisticated. Although my mom used to read those too. Stacey wants help picking out an outfit for the dance. Laine says the wear some blue dress and Stacey says she just wore it at a dance...You know what? Forget it. Have a million dances SMS. Have a million dances and dumb students. It's your funding. Stacey says she should wear something red because Valentine's and Laine, the snob, says only babies wear red on Valentine's, Anastasia! Stacey picks out a red top and a jean skirt and Laine is like whatevs do you have hot pink nail polish because I'll be seeing King. And Stacey says something that actually makes me laugh-'"Heavens. If King is going to see them. We wouldn't want to offend his eyes with chipped polish. What a tragedy."' I love sarcasm.
Stace says she got her polish on a home shopping channel and Laine, acting snobby, laughs at her. I remember my aunt got me a dinosaur stadium blanket off QVC and I loved the Hell outta it. So, shut up Laine. Laine asks if she bought a ceramic clown which it turns out she did. Does Stacey seem the clown type? Is anyone the clown type? I don't find them all that scary like my friend or my niece. I just find them kinda...sad. I feel bad for clowns. Must be from reading Discworld books.
Stacey tries to be friends again and offers to make popcorn. But Laine, who is a snob, says it'll ruin her nails and she needs to lose 5 pounds anyway. Stacey wonders if Laine is anorexic and please don't go down that path again, Ann, you don't know how to handle it. Laine then tells Stacey that she could stand to lose some weight which shocks Stacey because all BSC members are a perfect size five! Oh, and that her doctors actually tell her to gain weight. Stace starts thinking Laine may not be the best friend she thought she was and there's not much to snark about that. It's just sad when friends drift apart.
