A/n the next two chapters will be flashbacks from the movie bc- well, bc I felt like it lol
We were all sitting in class bored off our asses. The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
So, Shavonne, Jodi, Kaye, and I went to use the bathroom.
"You know, you guys were trying to list all the Gilligan's Island episodes without even a hint of irony," Kaye said.
"What the hell are you talkin' about, girl?" Shavonne said.
"You weren't thinking about it, were you?"
I scoffed, "Gilligan's Island?!"
"It's what's called a male pornographic fantasy," Kaye said.
Shavonne and I exchanged looks. I was curious to hear Kaye's logic behind this one.
"Think about it! You're basically alone on a deserted island with two readily available women. One, a seductive sex goddess type. The other, a healthy next-door girl type with a nice butt. So guys have it all. The madonna AND the whore! Women get NOTHING. We get a geek, an overweight middle-aged guy, some nerdy scientific type, I mean-
"The professor is sexy," Jodi smirked.
I nodded, "I have to agree with her on that."
We heard boys outside of the bathroom, and it sounded like Benny and Don.
"Alright, let's go kick some ass!"
Jodi and I looked at each other before leaving the bathroom and catching up with them.
"Hey, you guys, wait up! Benny, I have a favor to ask ya!" Jodi said, tapping his shoulder.
"What do ya need? Oh hey, babe," he said, turning to me.
"Take it easy on my brother this summer, ok? All of you."
The guys laughed.
"Mitch Kramer?"
"Yea, Mitch Kramer."
Benny nodded, "Yea, I'm gonna give him a beating he'll never forget!"
He smacked his paddle, and Don and Pink pretended to be scared after laughing. I just laughed and shook my head.
"Well, just don't get him more than the other guys. Any of you. He's kinda little," Jodi said.
"Got our word, sis. Little brother will be ok," Pink said, winking. I could tell how much bullshit came out of that one sentence.
"Thanks. See ya, guys," Jodi turned around, and Benny smacked her on the ass with a paddle, making me and the guys wince.
"OW! Benny!" Jodi turned back to us, grinning before going back to class with Shavonne and Kaye.
I crossed my arms and looked over at Benny, kind of annoyed that he smacked Jodi on the ass.
"Babe, seriously?"
He sighed, "Come on, Cam. It was a joke."
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."
Don grinned from ear to ear, "That was just a little bit of bullshit in all of that, right?"
"Major bullshit. He's a dead man. He's fucking dead!" Benny said.
"Shotgun!" Both Don and Pink called as I followed them.
Before we got in the car, Benny unexpectedly smacked me on the ass with a paddle too.
"Ow!" I said, "You're a real asshole sometimes, you know that?"
He nodded, "Yea, but you love me."
I walked back over to Benny and kissed him, forgetting that Don and Pink were there.
"Hey, you two! We going or what?" Don said.
We pulled away and got into the car.
"Took ya long enough," Pink said, making me elbow him.
Highway Star played on the radio as I listened to the boys chat about what they were going to do to the freshmen.
"Why do you guys take such joy in beating up little boys?" I said.
"Because it happened to us when we were their age, and now it's their turn," Benny said, "Aren't you hazing the freshman girls too?"
I sighed, "Yea, but you think I willingly want to do that shit? I'm doing it because I'm a cheerleader, and I'll never hear the end of it from Darla if I don't show up."
We pulled up to our old middle school and got out of the car. Don, Pink, and I propped our arms up on the hood while Benny set his microphone up.
"Ok, all you freshman fucks, listen up! It's your lucky day. Usually, you'd spend your freshman summer getting your asses busted and running for your worthless little lives. But this year since we feel so sorry for you, we're gonna take it easy on you and save us all a lot of time."
After the last period, if all the boys met outside the school, they would only get one lick from each guy. But if they ran like cowards, then it was open season all summer long. I sighed and took a chug of the beer that Don and Pink shared.
Now and then, Pink would nudge me, and I'd nudge him back.
"Oh, yeah, Mitch Kramer?"
Aw shit.
I couldn't help but laugh along with the guys.
"We're looking for you, pal! Your ass will be purple before the day is over. Have a nice afternoon," Benny said.
I sighed and finished off the rest of the beer.
"Geez, Cammy," Pink said, patting me on the back.
"What? How else am I going to get through this hazing shit?" I said as we went back into the car, "Benny, is O'Bannion taking part in beating the freshmen's asses too?"
"Well, yea. He flunked."
I scoffed and chortled, "What a fucking dumbass."
