I wish it was Heather (DUKESAW)

Chapter 3

TW: homophobic slurs and bullying

Veronica glanced down at the girl's lips which seemed to be getting closer. This couldn't be happening right now. Veronica got a hint of sudden realization. She lightly pushed Heather back. "You're trying to sabotage my reputation! You and the other Heather's are in on this!" Veronica could feel her blood boil.

Heather was no different than Chandler and McNamara. "What?" Heather asked sounding slightly offended.

"I'm not stupid! What's your damage Heather?! What have I ever done to you?!" Veronica growled. If Heather weren't one of the Heathers, she would have thought that the look on her face was genuine hurt and confusion. She knew it wasn't.

"Heather what the fuck is taking you so long?" Chandler'a voice sounded from outside of the bathroom. The sound of footsteps echoed through the room until an annoyed Chandler and McNamara appeared.

Heather's facial expression suddenly hardened. The smirk was back. "Sorry Heather, Sawyer wouldn't shut up about her kiss with JD. What's the matter? Never made out with anyone before?" Heather asked.

She was unbelievable. They all began to laugh as Veronica stormed out of the rest room.

                                     ***
Veronica tried to ignore the whole idea of what had happened. She wasn't going to let the Heathers ruin her night. The movie was ridiculous but she found herself laughing at certain parts.

When they got out JD took hold of her hand. "This was a lot of fun Ronnie." JD said. Veronica was disappointed in the way the nickname sounded coming from his lips. It didn't have the same effect it did when Heather said it. No, she wasn't going to think of her.

"I'd like to take you out again." He said as people poured out of the auditoriums.

"Okay." Veronica said, getting a sinking feeling. She wasn't going to let anyone damage her reputation. JD was a nice guy.

JD flashed her a smile squeezing her hand. "Veronica!" She heard a familiar voice call. Turning around she saw Betty and Martha rushing toward her.

"The Smiths are coming to Sherwood. They're playing at The Empty Bottle tomorrow. We're going!" Betty chimed. Veronica felt a rush of excitement.

"Hell yeah! Let's go!" Veronica said. All three of them held hands jumping up and down in excitement.

"Bigmooooouuuuth" everyone belted along as the band played on stage. Veronica, Betty, Martha and JD danced along to the song. This had been the most fun Veronica had had in a while. The had been here for over an hour and had managed to get front row center in the pit.

Turns out that JD was also a smiths fan so he ended up tagging along. Once the song had ended they sang a few more.

"They're so beautiful." Betty said dreamily, looking up at the band. Veronica chucked as she bobbed her head to the music. Veronica looked turned around to see a gorgeous blonde with delicate features smiling at her.

Veronica's cheeks turned a deep shade of red. "Hi." She mouthed giving her a wave. She felt JD's arm snake around her waist causing her to turn back around.

"Bands up there Miss Sawyer." He laughed. Something about his tone hinted that he may have been serious but Veronica dismissed the thought.

After the concert was over Veronica said goodbye to Martha and Betty as they drove away in Martha's mom's station wagon. JD and Veronica walked down the sidewalk holding hands. "We shouldn't go home just yet. The night is still young!" JD said.
