J-Karen...hey..we just wanted to know if you could join us for lunch at Kelly's?

Karen lifted her chin and tilted her head back annoyingly

K-why..so i cna uh watch you guys have sex on the Tuna Milt?

Brenda let out a laugh.Karen couldn't believe how nimwitted she was.And this from a girl who wanted to be a nurse GET REAL

B-No we thought it was the least we could do after....

K-After what?

J-Well your homework was....

K-You stupid ass!You copied AGAIN after i told you AGAIn not to didn't you!

Karen was furious.Her ex-best friend had betrayed her once again.She couldn't believe how Jagger had become.She was terrified yet jealous also.He di whatever he wanted he lived wherever he wanted.That's the life she wanted but could never have.

J-Well the oportunity presented itself

K-YEAH well you know what jagger!The next time it presents itself F*CK OFF!

Karen turned arounf and stormed off with jagger murmuring behind

J-Ewww FIESTY!

Brenda burst into laughing

Karen sped through the halls like a speeding bullet.All she wanted was to get out of that place untill her boyfriend Jason Quartermain stopped her.

J-Hey what the rush?

Karen looked up in tears.Jason,confused,just hugged her not knowing whatn was going on.

K-I'm just so tired!

J-Of what honey?

K-Of this!Of this!

She kept pointing at herself and yelling to the point where everyone was looking.

J-What?

K-I'm tired of me!I'm tired of my life!!I have nothing!

J-Yes you do!You have friends,you have a scholarship to Stanford and you have me.Me!

J-Shhh shhh

Karen broke down into jason's arms and began to sob.

K-I'm sorry.I didn't mean all of that...

J-Yes you did...even though none of it's true.

Karen smiled at her boyfriend.She didn't deserve sucha precious guy.

J-What are you doind tomorrow?

Karen shrugged

J-Nooooo...because i wanna see who wind Homecoming Queen

Karen took a drink of her Pepsi

K-Why's that so important

J-Because I entered you.......

TBC

K-Me?

Jason snickered a laugh

J-Yeah you.Is that so hard to believe?

Karen shrugged and turned where the side of her face was facing Jason.

K-Ah you know.No one would vote for me.The whole class thinks I'm nothing but a brain on legs.

J-I think your beautiful.And so do all the guys!Your to hard on yourself.

Karen laughed as in GET REAl

K-Jason,your the only boyfriend I have had in 17 years!Hows that for beautiful.I mean look at her

Karen pointed to freshman Audry Miller,big breasted long legs,and long blond hair.

K-She's had more dated in 5 months than I've had in 5 years.

J-So she's a bimbo.You remember what Robin said.

K-Robin only hates her because she stole Ryan from her and you know that.Audry could have any guy.

J-Not true.I'd never date her.

Karen playfully hit Jason's shoulder and leaned against him

K-Your only saying that to make me feel better.

J-And....

Karen turned to Jason and grinned

K-And....what

J-Is it working

Karen's smile faded.

K-Sorta.

Jason kissed her gently on the lips and put her hair behind her ear with his finger.

J-Let's go.

K-WHERE!?

J-It's a surprise!

Karen laughed and grabbed her books as Jason took her arm and ran to his Green Jimmy(SP?).In the truck Karen messes with the CD's a little and opened the compartments.

K-God,I wish I had a car.

J-So let's get you one.

K-Yeah right.Jason I work the night shift at Kelly's and volenteer and the hospital and I still only make about 200.00 a week.That oughta buy a big hunk of junk

Jason laughed and put his hand over Karens.

J-Your birthdays in about a week right....

Karen looked at Jason confused and excited

K-Riiight.....and....

J-I might just have a little present for you in the Q garage

Karen shreeked in excitement.She out her hands around Jason's head and kissed him

K-Ohhh I love you!

Jason kissed back

J-I love you too.

Karen hummed and sat back in her seat with a ear-to-ear smile.

**************Paradise Lounge**************

Stone and Brenda ate ice cream as they walked up the stairs to the entrance.Brenda pulled on Stone's shirt.

B-Are you sure your friends gonna like me.I mean what I've heard he doesn't like many people.

Stone laughed and turned to BRenda

S-I promise he will.It's not like Sonny to hate gorgeous burnette long legged models.

B-Awww you think I'm gorgeous!C'mere.

She kissed him on the cheek.

B-We should really hurry,Jagger will be worried.

St-I don't care what Jagger thinks!Listen you've been my girl since I was 5 right??Remember in El Paso when we used to talk about things we'd never share with anyone else??

Brenda nodded

St-And one of them I told you was....I don't like my brother or my parents and I hope they rott in hell.So whatever Jagger thinks is wrong I like to do it When he worried I thrive on it...are you catching my drift here?

Brenda smiled and nodded

B-Yeah...let's go.So what is this place?A bar?

Stone laughed and smiled at her

St-Something like that.

TBC

Brenda and Stone walked into the smoke infested strip joint. The hollars of men could be heard far away as they tantalized the teenage girls taking off their clothes. Brenda had a face of discust. Stone realized it and snickered.

S-Brenda.....its ok. Cmon.

He lead her up the stairs to a much quieter peaceful place. Lights were lit...girls were seducing men and then there was a dark room across the hall. A little lamp flickered off and on on a desk at the far end of the office. Stone sweared and ran to the desk.

St-Sonny...Hey...

Stone shook Sonny roughly trying to wake him. Finally a large grunt was heard as Sonny lifted his head and gave a drunk eerie smile.

S-"Hey...who's the chick...Heya...I'm Sonny..Ha..Not like the sun..

St-"Sonny..this is Brenda...the girl I told you about."

Sonny had obviously been drinking too much as he always did. Get drunk upstairs or get high. Stone always took care of him day and night.Brenda smiled and extended her hand.

B-"Brenda...Brenda Barrett."

S-"Hey...I'm Sonny..Corin...Sorin..Corinthos."

Brenda laughed. *~*~*~Across Town~*~*~*~

Jason pulled a blindfolded Karen out of the jimmi and escorted her to the garage.

K-Jason..c'mon..you don't need to..

She tripped on a rock and burst out laughing as Jason caught her.They laughed a little before he pressed the code to the garage.

J-"Remember to keep your eyes closed."

She peeked a little and witnessed him trying to cover the punch pad. She smiled sarcastically before taking off the blindfold.She backed away..

K-So..you didn't want me to see the code huh. Why? Do you think I'd come here and still the Quartermain FORTUNES!! No wait..wait..better yet you though my mom would come and still all the liquor from A.J! Now wouldn't that be a shame!"

J-"What are you talking about!"

Karen backed away slowly and through the pearl ring he had given her before turning to run off.

J-"Where are you going!? You don't have a ride!

K-"Yeah Jas...you seem to remind me quite alot! I'll walk."

She turned around and walked down the path to the highway.Jason sighed and punched the key bad before the garage door opened to expose the red blazor her had bought her.Then..he heard a large screech...scream...and bang...

TBC!!
