Chapter 10: Plan In Motion

Maurice's gang met in an alley the night before the prom. Discussing something with one another and waiting.

Gang member 1:
Man, it's cold out here.

Gang member 2:
Yeah, can't he hurry up? I want to go back to sleep. It's only a minute till midnight.

? ;
You never complained like this to the boss

Someone says unseen from the shadows.

Gang member 2:
Who said that?

?:
You don't recognize me (begins to walk into the light)

Gang member 1:
Boss?

Gang member 2:
Nah, it ain't the boss.

?:
No, but I do come a close second.

Gang member 2:
Paul?

Paul:
The one and only. (show himself)

Gang member 1:
Why the fuck did you call us right now?

Paul:
The Boss gets what he wants. He said that now is the perfect time to tell you what he has been planning. If it were up to me I'd be my room too

Gang member 2:
I don't get it you are so much smarter than the boss and the only one of us smart enough to get into some fancy University. You are smart enough to take the boss down. Why don't you?

Paul:
That's just it dumbass. I'm smart, you should try it sometime. How about you start by shutting the fuck up and staying obedient. Look Monkeys Maurice is out of rehab and ready to show that Dick Bic what's for and he needs you to cooperate.

One of the gang members raises his hand

Paul:
That better not be a Vocab question.

The gang member, embarrassed, lowered his hand.

Paul:
Look I don't want to stay here all night either, I wanna get this over with as soon as possible, so here's the fucking plan.

The night of the dance...

Alex is in the kitchen when she hears an echo of Bics voice singing Tonight's Going to be a good night by the Black Eyed Peas as he comes down the stairs. She stops to meet him halfway.

Alex:
Excited I see.

Bic:
Yeah mum.

Alex:
Alright, let's see you. Oh purple and gold tux.

Bic:
Yap, it felt right.

Alex:
Well, it's certainly a unique choice. Purple always did suit you. (adjusts Bic's Collar) So who is the lucky girl, someone I know?

Bic:
Yeah

Alex:
Is she smart?

Bic:
Very smart.

Alex:
Is she pretty?

Bic:
Very, Very pretty.

Alex:
Mmhm, Is she funny?

Bic:
In an adorable sort of way.

Alex:
Let's see, Athena?

Bic:
No

Alex:
Becky

Bic:
No

Alex:
Huh, I was kinda betting on her, Uuh don't tell me it's Alika.

Bic:
No, mum.

Alex:
Good, well no one's worse than her. Okay, I give up. Who is it?

Bic:
Serene
