The Tensions of Skip and Smot

3

-Still at Gym-

Glaze was in a panic. He had to get Slush's attention off of the princess somehow. Especially before Sydney noticed it. So he did the only thing he could think of. He picked up a stick and threw it over to Sydney's group of girls. Glamour saw it and looked over at Glaze. He waved her over and Glamour turned to the girls. A short word was exchanged before the group headed over to them. "Slushy! Hey-" Sydney stole Slush away and Glaze breathed out relieved. "So what was all this about? You don't usually call on any woman. Especially a whole pack of them." Glamour said. Glaze looked over. "Ugh... you're not fond of Sydney right? You'll keep a secret from her?" He asked. Glamour looked around as if Sydney might be spying somewhere. She leaned in closer to Glaze. "I hate that bitch. Spill." She whispered. "You know how the spit princess goes here now?" He asked. Glamour nodded. "Slush has a crush on her." He said. "What?!" Glamour exclaimed. "I know, right! Crazy." Glaze rolled his eyes. "You don't think he'd leave Sydney do you?" Glam asked. Glaze shrugged. "He seemed pretty serious. I mean, he couldn't keep his eyes off her. He can't even look away now!" Glaze gestured to his brother and Glamour looked over. Slush was glancing at Frights whenever Sydney was distracted. "What are we gonna do? We cannot let this happen." Glamour panicked. "And we won't, but I'm not sure how. We need to talk to that princess and warn her what could happen if Slush goes through with this." Glaze said. "But how? It's not like we can go to spit." Glamour said. Glaze sighed. "Gym is about to end. We need to talk about this out of school." He said. "Well, I work today. Maybe this weekend we can go somewhere and talk about it." Glam suggested. Glaze was stunned for a moment. "Yeah. Yeah ok! We can do that." He agreed. "Great. Now if you'll excuse me, I think my sister is trying to eat a rock." She walked away.  

-Across the Yard-

Firecracker was yelling at her brother for a reason that no one could really know. Frights continued to talk to Sherbet and Sugar. "So... what can you girls tell me about the smuts?" She asked. Sugar shrugged. "That would be her." She pointed to Sherbet. She rolled her eyes at Sugar and took a step forward. "Well, the queen bee over there is Sydney. Her entourage is composed of her sister Dreamer, her lackey Reagan, and Reagans sister Glamour." Sherbet pointed each of them out. "Got it, and whos the sport boys?" Frights asked. "Well that's Glaze. He's the only one with any sense. He's actually not so bad of a guy. His friend, the tall one there, is Skylar. Football is basically his whole life. The shorty he's with is Frost. He's a sweet guy, and he tries really heard, but he just can't seem to be good enough for anything he does. And then, last but not least, we have Slush. Sydney's boy toy. He's oblivious to anything and everything." Sherbet said. Frights nodded. "And what about the rest of them?" She asked. "Well I'm sure you know the royals. Thats prince Alpine, princess Glitzy, and duke Maple." Sherbet pointed out. "Yeah, I know who they are." Frights said. "Ok. So that's Fluffy over there. I don't know much about her." Sherbet said. Frights was still watching Dakota while she spoke. Sherbet noticed. "Do you like him?" She asked, shocked. Frights shrugged. "He was nice, and cool." She said. "That's Dakota, and that's his buddy Dill. From what I know, Dakota is neutral party. He doesn't care for any kingdoms borders or boundaries. Dill on the other hand, is a huge ass. He hates all us Skips, all gay people, and basically anyone who doesn't live up to his standards. I don't know how he and Dakota are friends." Sherbet said. 

Frights smiled. "Dakota is awfully cute." She said. Sherbet shrugged. "I guess. I'd say Slush is cuter. He's like the golden boy." She said. "Speaking of the golden boy! He seems to have an eye out for a new girlfriend." Sugar added. "And how do you know that?" Sherbet asked. Sugar gestured for them to look and they did. They realized that Slush was staring at Frights with nothing but adoration in his eyes. "Um... is he-?" Frights asked. "Looking at you? Yeah he is." Sherbet nodded. "He's what?!" Firecracker looked over. "I'm gonna kill that stupid smut!" She snapped. "Ok. Let's just get you out of here." Valor grabbed her and carried her away. Frights looked back at Slush and their eyes met. "Hey guys, watch this." Frights chuckled. She crossed her arms, leaned to one side, and looked Slush up and down. His face got red and he tried to look back at Sydney but couldn't. Frights bit her lip and winked at him before turning around and walking to her guards. Slush practically melted in his stance and Frights friends started dying of laughter. "Wow. You got him drooling! That was crazy." They laughed. "What can I say? I'm a boy magnet. Anyway, the bells about to ring, and I gotta get them into the car before someone else pisses Firecracker off. I'll see you girls tomorrow." Frights waved. "Bye Frights." They waved. 

-After Dismissal-

Firecracker was angrily pouting in the car while Valor was talking with the teacher about extra credit. Frights was standing nearby to make sure he didn't get lost in the parking lot. Slush was determined to talk to Frights after school, so he snuck over to the Skip side without anyone seeing and walked up to her. "Hey... your majesty?" He said, not sure of what he should address her as. She looked over stunned. "Uh. Hi" She said. "I'm Slush." He smiled nervously. Frights smirked to herself as she got an idea, and stood up straight. "It's very nice to meet you. How can I help you?" She smiled politely and spoke in her most professional voice. "Well um, I couldn't help but notice you earlier at gym, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go out sometime?" Slush asked. Frights raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry. Are you from my kingdom?" She asked. Slush gulped. "No." He said. "Then I suppose you have your answer. So with all due respect, I'm going to have to ask you to step back across the border before I have you arrested." Frights said. Slush pouted. "Ok." He sighed and walked away. "What a dork." Frights huffed. "Hey Frights." She heard. She jumped and spun around. "Dakota! What are you doing?" She asked. "I'm over here all the time. Your convenient stores are cheaper. Besides, it's not like any of you Skips actually care." He said. "Oh yeah? What's to say I don't turn you in right now?" Frights teased. Dakota shrugged. "You could. But why would you?" He asked. "Because you're breaking the law? Or maybe just because I'm sure you'd look extremely sexy in an orange jumpsuit." Frights smirked. "You're right. I would. Maybe I should turn myself in. I mean, anything to get you to visit me, right?" He asked. Frights giggled. "I guess so. Say, if you're really over here that often, why don't we meet up sometime?" she asked. Dakota smiled. "Sure. Sounds fun. I'll give you my number." He said. "Great." Frights smiled. Dakota quickly scribbled down his number and gave it to her. "Thanks. I'll see you around." Frights smiled. "See ya." Dakota smiled and walked away. Frights walked over to Valor. "Ok dummy. Let me walk you back to the car" She said. Valor smiled obliviously and followed her.
