Project Anti-bordom: Wakefield
"No way man, I ain't buying it," Wallace sat back against the wall as Piz finished telling them about his night. something didn't add up, specifically why a known sex addict (Ruby) wasn't willing to jump the bones of their comely little virgin (Piz). "You're telling me during a hot and heavy make out session she just randomly got up and asked you to leave? I don't think so."
"Especially considering she's known to do anyone that moves," Alex supplied from her perch beside Piz on the bed.
"First, It's true. Second, I don't appreciate you talking about my future girlfriend like that," Piz pouted into his beer. Yes, he was aware he sounded like a slightly obsessed psuedo boyfriend, but he didn't care. It was better than telling them the truth.
"I still don't believe it."
"Aww, Pizzy," Alex shoulder hugged him, "At least you tried. No you can move on and find someone who's not a psycho bitch."
he shrugged her off, "I don't want anyone else. I want Ruby."
"Why?"
"I-You guys don't know her like I do okay? There's more to her than hostile bitchery. Inside she's a scared, vulnerable girl who needs someone to protect her."
Alex raised an eyebrow at him, "You got this from one school assignment?"
"Yes. Yes I did."
"What did you do?" Wallace jumped on the already cramped bed. Piz was a good guy and Ruby was a bad girl. It didn't take an aspiring engineer to realize that that was a volatile combination. Given half a chance, he was sure Ruby would corrupt the Piz they all knew and loved and turn him into someone they would hate.
"I didn't do anything! Why would you think I did something? We went for coffee after Professor Suresh's experiment and that was it."
"Mmhmm..."
Alex looked at Wallace. He was getting at something, but she didn't know what. And she didn't have time to ask because her cell started ringing. She answered and the boys went silent.
"Hello?....Hi Luke..."
Wallace and Piz managed to break from their tense silence of scrutiny when they heard it was Luke.
"How did you get my number?...He did, did he?"
"I gotta go. We'll talk later," Wallace jumped off the bed and out the door. He didn't wanna be around when Alex got off the phone.
"I would but-No really that's not necessary. Wow Luke that's really awesome of you..." She sighed. Piz held a pillow to his chest and tried not to giggle. All it took was one beer and he got a serious case of the giggles. That was his short coming.
Alex hung up and flopped back down on the bed beside Piz, "So apparently I got coerced into a date with Luke on Thursday."
Piz lay beside her, giggling, "He's gonna turn you into a nice little housewife."
"Shut up!" She hit him with a pillow.
"Don't be hatin' because I'm right."
It started as a pillow fight and quickly turned into playful wrestling, with Piz magically managing to pin Alex under him, proping himself up awkwardly with his casted arm. He moved a stray hair off her face, "Why do you always look prettier when I've had a few?"
"Because you're too dumb when sober to see how awesome I am?" She wriggled half heartedly under him.
"Well yes, but that's not the point."
"Dude you're drunk. Get off-"
Piz cut her off with a sloppy yet not horrible kiss. Alex knew this was wrong considering he was a light weight. Almost involuntarily, she found her arms winding around his neck and pulling him closer. Piz was a good guy, and an amazingly good kisser for a virgin. Total opposite of the guys she usually went for.
She tugged at the hem of his shirt, clumsily getting it off. Piz cocked his head to the side, like the cute, confused puppy dog he was."
"We don't have to do this if you don't want to."
Piz shook his head, "No I'm cool."
Meanwhile, Professor Suresh adjusted the microscope in his lab. A slight fire scare was not enough to keep him away from his studies.
"Oh god!"
He double checked his findings, hoping he was wrong. Unfortunately not.
"Experiment 14A, Control test subject Piznarski seems to show an abnormality the likes of which all my previous research have not exhibited. His DNA seems to contain traces of... Sulphur.... Lord help us all."
