A Pretty in Pink Fanfic

I'm Just Hanging Around.........He's Just Hanging Around

              I cut class like it's an art, I get away with it all the time and I don't know why. I guess that's one thing Steff and I have in-common, just hanging around the school grounds not giving a shit. I usually take off and go straight for TRACKS (the record store in town), I like hanging out with the owner Iona; she's someone to talk to and I find her fashion sense OUTRAGEOUS. God damn it, that show JEM is stuck in my head. "V honey. Have you ever stopped and thought that maybe this Steff guy is really  into you. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe this isn't bullshit and he's actually trying to ask you out and not just have in his bed." I rolled my eyes at that. "Iona. he's rich and is sleeping with Benny Hanson. There's no way in hell that he's actually interested in me, I mean 4 years and he's never come up to me and said anything about how he feels about me. I'm pretty sure he came up with that cockamamie story on the spot and when I didn't go for it he called me a bitch right to my face." "What ever you say V."

                             As I was flipping through records trying to find Don Johnson's new album HEARTBEAT I felt eyes staring at the back of my head, then I smelt the cigarette being extinguished. It was Steff. What the fuck was he doing here? Wait a minute, did he actually follow me to TRACKS?  I turned to see him leaning on the front counter waiting for me to notice that he was there. "What in the sam hell are you doing here!?" "Well it's a pleasure to see you too Morrison. How's your day been so far, cause I can tell you that I'm not done with our little session we started earlier." What the fuck is wrong with this guy's brain? "Steff, you're dating Benny"The Whore"Hanson and could sleep with any other girl at the school. Why are you wasting your time trying to get in my pants when there are plenty of others who would love to get in yours?" He raised his right brow at that statement, I may have pissed him off again. "You're right, but I don't want to get in anyone else's pants right now. I mean they bore me half to death, plus none of them are a challenge to me, but you are." "I'm a challenge?" "Yes. A very well built, and out spoken challenge I must add. I like our banter. I won't lie, I've got nothing to hide from." "4 Years? If you like me so much, then why haven't you said anything in 4 years?" "Let's just say reputation is something that has been a bitch to get around, okay. I mean it's not like I could just go up and tell you everything on the spot anyway, you're never on the school grounds and you look pissed off at everyone. Like I said you're a challenge V, a pretty big one at that." 

           I must admit that all of this was shocking to hear. Was Steff McKee actually being honest with someone for once? I didn't say anything I just looked at him with suspicion and curiosity, then an idea popped into my head and I couldn't keep it in the thought bubble. "If I did go out with you Steff, what would you have in mind for a date?" He seemed a little surprised that I actually asked what he had in mind but the grin he had on afterward was a victorious one. "Knowing you V you'd probably hate my date idea. What would you have in mind, if I should dare ask?" Holy shit! He's asking me what I'd do for a date!? This is getting better by the minute. "You're gonna hate it, but I'm gonna love it. A late night picnic in the park, chinese takeout. It is not a formal event so no tuxedo, just wear your Miami Vice wardrobe as usual." Both of his brows were raised, it was if they were saying "You're kidding me right" but he also seemed pleasantly surprised. I guess me making the whole event a private and casual affair made it more appealing to him. Steff gave me a side smile, "Well you sure know how to get my attention Morrison. Does this mean you'll actually go out with me tomorrow night or is this some day dream you've thought of on the spot for me to dwell on?" "If you're not at my house by 8:00, I'll know you didn't take anything I just said seriously."  I said that bluntly with a side smirk. "You bring the blanket and I'll bring the takeout. See you then.......Vivian." Steff smiled slyly through that last sentence and I was floored when he left. What in the hell did I just get myself into? I was going out on a date with Steff McKee tomorrow night, and it's a date that I'd actually go on. I think I need a brain scan cause I'm pretty sure that I've just lost my mind.
