The Highschool Tease

[Sweetbitch]

Laurie looks around herself with glazed eyes - not sure of what has just happened. She glances at everyone trying to readjust themselves after the fight, and clears her throat loudly. She smiles at the hosts first, and them each of the people gathered in her room.
"I don't know what all of you came to do - but I came here to have some fun." She waited silently for an outburst of complaint, but none came. "Now, who wants to dare me next?"
She looked around at everyone, pleased to see the surprised expression on everyone's faces.

Constance:

She didn't talk to him, just turned on her heal and marched away from him. Her emotions so out of control she didn't know if she could take it. She loved Nich, she didn't know how to tell him, but she loved her brothers too. Obviously there was something they were all keeping from her, and it revolved around Peter and Alex and the fact that Peter had confessed to drugging her best friend.

She marched up the stairs knowing Nich was behind her, and led him back to her room. When he entered she locked the door and placed herself in front of it. He wasn't leaving until she got the whole story, and his promise he wouldn't hurt her brother. She would do anything to keep her brother from getting hurt.

Her eyes spit fire at him, and her voice was a little uneven. "What do you want to talk about? And why are you trying to kill my brother?" Her voice broke, and she felt a tear trickle down her cheek, but she swiped it away. She had to know the truth, and Nich was going to provide it to her.

Nich looked at Con he saw her wipe the tear away.
Nich couldn't believe it. What did he do. Why did he do this? "Ok Con first off I am sorry. Second you should know this. Noone else does but Alex's family and mine. We are related. Somewhere down our family tree our family's crossed paths. I am not sure if we are cousins or what. It is confusing to me. We have known this for about 2 years. I figured you needed to know this. I don't want anymore than needed to know."

IC( Christian, Peter):

Christian sees his brother Peter pass out and is immediately concerned" Help me get him to his room!" he asks to no one in particular. Some of the team players pick Peter up. " Careful!" says Chris " Please be careful, we don't know how badly hurt he is." Patrick tells Chris " Don't worry, our trainer is here, too, and he's familiar with martial arts. He'll be able to tell us how bad it is. Dan, go get Mike and bring him upstairs."

They carry Peter to his bed and gently lay him down. Mike arrives. " I thought you might need me. I saw what happened and I'm sure I can fix it right up, turn him over. Now every one grab an arm or a leg and hold tight, don't let him move. This will be a little painful." Peter is coming round and starts to panic because he finds he cannot move and doesn't know why. He's unsure how long he's been unconscious, was it an hour... two... three? It was in fact only five minutes. Mike sets to work and all Peter knows is he cannot move and he cannot feel his legs. Mike applies pressure to the right spot and the reaction of Peter indicates that feeling is definitely returning. Peter screams in agony and tries to buck off the men holding him, but they maintain their grip. The pain is excruciating and once again Peter's mind goes into defensive mode by rendering him unconscious.

When Peter finally comes round, the first thing he's aware of is a tingling in his toes. Mike is massaging his legs and asks " How do you feel?" Peter doesn't reply at once, he's assessing how he does feel. Finally he says " I think I'm okay. The pain is gone and I have feeling in my legs again. Yeah, I think I'm alright." Mike looks relieved " Good! That was touch and go. If I hit the wrong place, you could have spent the rest of your life in a wheelchair." Peter looks at the guys surrounding him and says" Thanks. I really mean that! Thanks!"

Chris asks" Is he really okay? Does he have to take it easy or something?" Mike is still looking at Pete but says" No, he's fine now. The tingling will clear in a minute and he'll be good as new." Christian looks like a condemned man who's just been reprieved" Could you guys give me a few minutes alone with my brother, please. I'll see you downstairs in a little while." The room clears, leaving only Chris and Peter.

Christian is unsure as to how to broach the subject. It's delicate and no little embarassing. He decides the best approach is to be straightforward." Peter, is it true?" Peter had his eyes closed for a minute savoring the return of feeling to his body. He opens them upon hearing the question" Is what true?" Chris is getting angry" You know what! That confession you gave to Nich. Is it true? Was Alex the one you tested the stuff on?" Peter frowns" Christ! Under the circumstances, I would have admitted to assassinating Lincoln and Kennedy. Anything he wanted, I was in that much pain." Christian persists" It was true, wasn't it? How the hell could you do it ? To Alex, for God's sake! I couldn't be more shocked if you had said it was Connie ... or mom. What the fuck were you thinking? No, I take that back because obviously you weren't thinking! I don't know what to think... what to believe. Laurie is one thing. I mean she deserves what she gets. But Alex? She's never been anything but a good friend to all of us. She doesn't deserve to be treated like that! WHAT THE FUCK HAS GOT INTO YOU!!"

Peter doesn't answer at first, he just stares at his brother and thinks' Careful, Pete, Chris is pissed and now he knows. Choose your words with care or you may lose him forever; if you haven't already!'" You're right, Chris, I don't know what I was thinking. I was desperate to get a guinea pig and Alex was at hand. I never realized it would get so far out of hand. I never meant for that to happen. You've got to believe me. It started out innocent enough but it got beyond my control and I couldn't stop it. The people at that party were like sharks in a feeding frenzy. It was worth more than your life to try and stop them once they had the bit between their teeth."

Chris turned his back on his brother and stared out the window" Are you trying to tell me that you had no alternative, that it had to be Alex?" Peter stares at the ceiling as he replies" It was a spur of the moment decision. Alex was available and I had to have a reliable test subject. If I could have got somebody else, anybody else, I would have. You've got to believe me. I was pressed and I made a bad decision. I regret it, if I could change it I would. But it happened and now I'm trying to forget it." Chris spins around" Forget it? You are trying to forget it? what about Alex, do you think she's ever going to forget what you did to her? She loved you, you stupid fucking asshole, and you treated her like some two-dollar whore!"

" Look, Chris, I said I regretted it and I do. You don't know how much. But there's nothing I can do to change it back.I just have to move on and hopefully learn from my mistakes. We all do, only she seems determined to have her pound of flesh. If she'd let it drop, we'd all be better off. But no, now she's got a couple of rabid pitbulls to do her bidding. I reget it but I'm not going to let her or anyone get the better of me. She was sent a video-tape of the party but what she doesn't know is that it was edited. The original uncut version is in my care, and unless she wants it released, she'd better call them off. Someone should do her a favor and tell her that!"

This revelation truly shocked Chris" You have what? What the hell is going on with you? I don't even know you any more. You've changed, Peter, and not for the better. What happened? How did you get like this? You used to be a decent likeable guy now your this ruthless, devious Hyde. Where did all this come from, anyway?"

' I know where it came from' thinks Peter' but I wonder if I should tell him. Poor Chris has had quite a few shocks tonight and I don't know if he could take one more. Especially such a big one!' Peter considers whether or not to tell his brother the truth.

OOC: Sorry for being slow with postings, RL intervenes and cannot be refused!

IC(Christian, Peter):

Peter starts his story but doesn't look at his brother, he's reliving it in his mind." Chris, do you know where mom and dad went this weekend?" Chris thought the question was an attempt to change the subject" Of course I know! They went to see Aunt Helen and Uncle Dave. What does that have to do with anything?"." A lot more than you realize, little brother."

Peter continues" Do you remember when I turned sixteen and spent that summer with Aunt Helen and Uncle Dave?"." Yeah, so what?"." Well that turned out to be a very interesting summer for me. You probably don't know why mom and dad went;Aunt Helen and Uncle Dave may be splitting up. I heard them discussing it, they didn't know I'd overheard. Seems Uncle Dave is gambling too much and may be running around, if you know what I mean."." WHAT! you're kidding!"." No I'm serious, and I'm not really surprised."

" I spent almost that whole summer with him. The places he took me and the things he showed me were a real revelation, especially for one so young. That summer I got a real education and when it was over, I wasn't quite so young anymore. It seems that when our uncle was the same age, his dad did the same for him. Since he had no kids he decided that I was to be the recipient of this' continuing education'. And quite an education it was."

" Uncle Dave told me that the only reason he married Aunt Helen was because of money. His dad owed hers a lot of money and the marriage was arranged as payment. Apparently Aunt Helen can't ever have children and to her father, our grandfather, this made her damaged goods. It seems unbelievable today but that's the way Gramps thought and he was wealthy enough and tyrant enough that no one dared contradict him. You know how he could be."

" Dave said he didn't really mind because he had access to a trust set up for them as long as they stayed married. I got the impression that it was a very generous amount from his attitude. I think it was a marriage in name only for him but for Aunt Helen it was more. He continued to act single, gambling, drinking, and whoring. It seems as long as he wasn't too blatant about it, no one said a thing. I can't believe Gramps kept quiet but apparently so."

" Dave told me that his dad took him out when he was my age and showed him what it meant to be a man, then made him promise to do the same for his son. Well there was no son, so he decided to teach me. You wouldn't believe some of the places we went, the things I saw. Hell! the things I did. I never knew such things existed. I learned my lessons well. I had a very dedicated teacher."

" I went away a naive child and came back a man.The stories he told me of the things he'd done shocked me at first. But the more I thought of it, the more I realized that I'd like to try some of those things myself, and I did. I enjoyed it. So much so that I wanted more, I couldn't get enough. It was liberating, doing whatever you wanted, answering to no one. I still enjoy it and I still want more!"

" After Gramps died, things changed. Uncle Dave didn't feel the need for discretion was as important anymore. The rest of the family couldn't keep up the charade, so I guess things were brought into the open and now it looks as if it's over. I don't think Dave is too sorry but I don't know about Aunt Helen."

" You wanted to know how I'd changed. Well now you know. I've learned that if you want something then you'd better grab it because nobody is going to hand it to you. Take what you want and let the losers have the leftovers! Now I think we'd better prove ourselves good hosts and get back to the party. I'm in a nasty mood now and ready to make someone pay."

Christian wasn't sure whether he was more shocked or frightened!

IC(Christian, Peter):

Peter slid his feet to the floor and timidly stood up, testing to see if he was truly better and ready to get back to business." Everything seems to be fine. No pain. No more tingly feeling. I'd say I was ready as I'm ever going to be. Shall we get back downstairs and see what's going on?".Christian just stared at the floor and answered" I guess so."

What had been going on was confusion. Nobody was sure if the party was still on or if they should all head home. There were looks of surprise and relief as Peter re-entered followed by Chris." Are you all right, Pete?" " Glad to see you back. When they carried you out I thought that was the last we'd see of you for awhile.". " Is this party still on, or what?". " Are we still playing the game?". " Yeah, whose turn is it , anyway?"

Peter holds up his hand for silence. The noise dies down." Look, we had a little disagreement. But , hopefully that's over with. And yes, this party is still on. We've only just started the game. It'd be a shame to not finish, after all, there are still plenty who want their turn. I don't think it would be right to deny them that. So what say we get back to business!"

There were nods of appproval and murmers of consent all round to his suggestion. Chris surveyed the room and noticed that Connie wasn't there. Neither did he see Nich. He didn't see Lou or Alex at the moment either. He wondered' Where did everybody go? Are they still here or did they call it a night and leave?'. Chris hoped the fireworks involving Peter were over but he wasn't going to hold his breath. Now it looked like the fireworks involving Laurie were about to begin again.

Peter looked over the eager players in the room and tried to find just the right one to get this party back on track. ' Now whom will it be? I need just the right one. Let me see.' Peter suddenly smiles. He'd found the one!

IC(Christian, Peter):

Or should I say the two. They were sitting quietly by the stereo. Tonight's excitement didn't seem to have phased them at all. They had been watching all the evenings happenings with a bemused detachment as if waiting for something special to happen. But what? Peter approaches them.

" I feel I should apologize, girls. Tonight's party seemed to get a little off-course. I'm glad the two of you chose to stay. I'm given to understand that what Laurie did to Samantha and Sarah wasn't the first time she's pulled that one. As I told Sarah, she seems to do it out of sheer spite. I can't think of any other reason she'd deliberately try to humiliate people. It's too bad they let her get away with it. People just shouldn't be mistreated that way, don't you agree?"

Both Lindsay and Roberta watched Laurie closely as Peter spoke to them. It was Roberta who finally spoke" Yes, we both agree and we think maybe something can be done to show her that what goes around, comes around. We'd both like to play, wouldn't we Lin?" Lindsay nodded but never took her eyes off Laurie.

" Good! I think I can ensure that you two will be up next." Roberta looked up at Peter" Could you give us a moment first? We'll need to get a few things from our car outside. If we're going to do this, then we want to do it right." " Sure," said Pete" just let me know when you're ready and we'll continue." Roberta left, but Lindsay stayed and continued to glare at Laurie.

Peter was very satisfied. His gamble payed off. ' I was sure they were only waiting for the right moment to exact their revenge, and I was right. Can I pick'em or what?' He couldn't imagine what it was they planned but he guessed Laurie wouldn't like it very much.

It wasn't long before Roberta returned carrying what looked like a backpack. She and Lindsay took it to a corner and began to rummage inside it. Occasionally they'd stop and look at each other then at something in the backpack and break out laughing. Whatever was in there was very amusing to the pair.

Peter took the opportunity to really look the two of them over. Roberta seemed to be the alpha female, she led. She had dark blonde hair, shoulder length. Tonight she had it in a ponytail. She was wearing a white tank top and white shorts...tight and very short. White ankle socks and white tennis shoes. Peter assessed her to be 36C-25-36. She had green eyes and stood about 5' 4''. All-in-all a very nice package was his verdict.

Lindsay was dark. Jet-black short hair, dark eyes, 5'2'', 34B-22-35, and let Roberta make all the decisions. She, too, wore white shorts but not nearly so tight. White man's dress shirt the tail of which was tied in a knot above her navel, white knee-length socks and also tennis shoes, white. Peter guessed that despite her subordinate position in their relationship, Lindsay was the one Laurie should beware of. There was something in her look that gave him a chill.

Roberta caught Peter's eye and nodded indicating their readiness. Peter stood up and spoke" People! People! QUIET! Please." The room stilled. " I don't know about you but I'm ready to resume our game. So I must pick somebody to get it re-started. Let's see, who should it be?" Roberta and Lindsay both raised their hands. Peter looks their way" Ahh, I see two rather anxious players wanting into our game. Like I said, everyone gets a chance. So, okay, Roberta and Lindsay...you're on!" Peter sits back, eagerly waiting to see what these two had planned and what was in their little bag of tricks.

Lou walked back into the room without Alex, stands arms crossed over his chest just watching the proceedings, saome of the others gasped at what they saw, even Peter was shocked. Sticking out of Lou's side was a piece of glass, blood pooling on the concave glass. Seems when Lou went out the window after Peter it sliced into his body. He ignored the pain.
