Now or Never (Scott Wormer)

the water and flower

Flora sat on her porch waiting for the girls to arrive. She was in a good mood until non other than Scott Wormer walked past her. She shifts uncomfortably as he passes by.

"Psh sissy" was all he says before sitting on her driveway and walking away. 

--

The girls sit in the curb eating popsicles.

"Nothing on dear Johnny. Everything before 1948 was lost in the fire" Samantha says grabbing her popsicle. "Ms. Wendy says the library has a copy of all the newspapers"

"Well that settles that!" Chrissy says and they all look at her. "We can't ride our bikes all the way to green field...can we?" Chrissy asks.

All the of the girls stare at her, Roberta smirking a little.

--

The girls ride on their bikes on an old dirt road, hidden by trees. Flora says to the music that was being played.

The girls laugh as they ride their bikes for absolutely no reason at all. Chrissy buts her feet up on her bike, careful not to fall.

They sing along to the music in unison.  The turn the corner,then not long after under a bridge with a train passing by.

"If you would give your all!"

"Sing it girl!" Flora and Teeny encourage Roberta.

"Cause I would give it to you!"

--

Sam walks out of the small little convince store, her hands full of coke. "Truth or dare Roberta!" Teeny starts.

"Truth!"

"How big are your boobs now?" Teeny asks. Flora laughs a little Teeny was so obsessed with getting boobs.

"Drop dead" Roberta snarls and Teeny laughs. "She has to say, doesn't she Sam?" Teeny asks. Samantha looks at Roberta, "she doesn't have to say if she doesn't want to"

Roberta glares at Teeny. "Then can we seem them?" Teeny asks and Roberta's eyes widen. "No you can't see them!"

Chrissy says something inaudible but Teeny somehow answers. "I don't have any real ones yet", Teeny says side glancing Roberta.

"You'll get them, and you'll hate them." Roberta assures. "No, your lucky, men love them when they're big" Teeny sighs. "Look at how big mine are today", Teeny says sticking her chest out.

"They almost look real", Flora mutters. "it's filled with pudding" Teeny says. "pudding?" Sam asks.

"The wormers actually gave me the idea" Teeny admits and Flora nearly chokes in her coke. "Jello was to jiggly, pudding has a heavier more realistic texture"

"What flavor is it?" Chrissy asks and the girls giggle. Teeny smiles while nodding, "it's vanilla!"

"Chrissy...truth or dare", Teeny starts again. Chrissy sighs, "truth."

"Have you ever been french kissed?" Teeny asks and Flora gags. "Are you kidding! I don't want to get pregnant!"

Flora furrows her eyebrows. "You can't get pregnant from kissing!" Roberta says. Chrissy shrugs, "I know that butt brain. But it's common knowledge, that if you tongue kiss a boy he automatically think you'll do the deep with him" Chrissy says. "They can't help it. They're dripping"

Sam looks at the sky, "an uh what deed would that be..." Chrissy looks at her if she were dumb. "You know, planting the seed and watering the flower"

Flora laughs and the others follow. Chrissy watches her friends, "isn't that how it goes? The man takes his watering can and sprinkles it on the flower!" She says.

The table of girls laugh.

--

"Oh my darlin' knock three times on the ceiling if you want me!" The girls sing in unison laughing.

"Ohh. Twice on the pipe" the girls ring their bicycle bells twice. " if the answer is no..."

"Oh my sweetness" they bang in their bikes twice. "means you'll meet me in the hallway!!"

"Ohh twice on the pipe", they all point to Chrissy who rings her bicycle bells. "Means you ain't gonna show!" They sing riding of into the sun.
