"I didn't mean to hurt her feelings," Stormy said, looking at me. "I was just being honest."
"I think she'll get over it," I said, secretly knowing she wouldn't.
Chapter 11 Prada-Bees
The following day at school, the students were abuzz about Jagger's haunted house.
"Jagger is going to have a haunted house at the Crypt. I can't wait. I know it will be a real scream!" I heard a Prada-bee say in the hallway.
"I know I'll faint for sure," her friend squealed as they grabbed books from their lockers.
"Well, maybe Trevor can catch you," another teased.
"Don't you know?" the first girl, Heather, asked. "He's been hanging out with that skank - the one with over-dyed scarlet hair and tattoos instead of jewelry."
"Oh yes, that's old news. But I was hoping it wasn't true. You nold m" wknow how he is. Fixated on Raven. I think he likes that new girl just so he can feel like he's dating her."
"Nuh-uh!" the first one said.
"Yes."
"What do you think you'll go as?"
"I don't know. I really didn't have an idea for this year."
"We should go as Raven," the first one said loud enough for me to hear.
"What?"
"We can get tattoos and streak our hair."
"Gross!"
"And wear black lipstick."
"We'll look like we're dead."
"Isn't that the point? It's Halloween."
The second one sighed. "Trevor seems to be, like, in love with her."
"I wonder how he'll feel about me if I dress like her."
"You think?"
"He likes Raven. He keeps dragging that scarlet-hair chick to games. I think he really digs that look."
"That look - or Raven's look."
"Whatever. You want to go out with Trevor, don't you?"
"Duh!"
The first one took her friend's affirmative answer as motivation and headed to me.
Becky and I were grabbing textbooks from our locker.
"Hi, Becky," the first one said.
