When The Lights Go Down

Veto

*B sits on her bed texting Ronnie when her bedroom door opens and Nick walks in and sits down next to her*

(Nick) I swear B, You get into trouble like it's your job

(Bailey) *laughing* shuddup

(Nick) *smile* I'm just sayin...you're REALLY good at it

(Bailey) well, how was I supposed to know there was some robot that called, did you know about the robot?

(Nick) how the hell would I know about it? I've been to public school what? 3 days in the past few years...how was school today? Any better?

(Bailey) 'bout the same

(Nick) And detention? Was it everything you dreamed it would be? *smile*

(Bailey) *smile* actually, detention was....great

(Nick) oh really? And why is that

(Bailey) Sam

(Nick) Sam was in detention?

(Bailey) No, Sam showed up after like 45 minutes and gave Coach Samuels a story about me tutoring him and he signed my completion slip and said I could go...

(Nick) what? Are you serious?

(Bailey) Yup *popping her P* just walked out and hung out with Sam, it was nice

(Nick) Oh I see, you like Sam

(Bailey) I didn't say that

(Nick) Riiiiight...

(Bailey) Ok, maybe a little

(Nick) mmhmmm so what did you and this Sam do when he got you out

(Bailey) Oh, don't say it like that...THIS Sam...like he's already trouble

(Nick) he's a boy *matter of factly*

(Bailey) and?

(Nick) that's enough

(Bailey) Oh...BLAH! You're a boy...how would you feel if your future girlfriends brother or dad hated you before they even met you because you're a boy?

(Nick) *chuckles* See, that's what you don't get...my future girlfriend's brother or dad WILL hate me before they meet me, because I am a boy, boys are evil, we generally only think about one thing

(Bailey)*slaps Nick* gah...so much for purity

(Nick) Just because we're not doing it...doesn't mean we aren't thinking about it

(Bailey) so, it would just be better, for YOU if I don't date at all....ever

(Nick) that would be very nice, yes *smile*

(Bailey) *leans over and gives Nick a kiss on the cheek* would you settle for veto power?

(Nick) *chuckle* what? So if I think he's bad news you don't date him?

(Bailey) *hesitates* within reason...don't just veto a guy the second you see him just because he's a guy...

(Nick) Deal

*Moms voice calls them to dinner from downstairs, B and Nick run downstairs*

*Later that evening B is laying on her bed texting Ronnie when her Mom knocks on her door and walks in*

(Mom) Bailey, I've thought about it and while I'm disappointed that you tried to hide the detention from me, I don't really feel that your actions necessarily warranted a detention in the first place. The truancy I feel was a bit of a trumped up charge, the slapping however, although seemingly justified, was not a great decision on your part. So, I'm not going to punish you more...*B throws her arms around her mom in a big hug* thank you thank you thank you

(Mom) HOWEVER...this doesn't mean you are off the hook for this, consider this a warning... you have been in a lot of trouble since starting public school, if I feel like you are doing more damage than good I wont think twice about pulling you and making you homeschool, socializing is a privilege that can be taken away quite easily, understood?

(Bailey) Yes Ma'am

(Mom) *hugs* ok, goodnight hun, I love you

(Bailey) love you too

*suddenly B's phone buzzes with a text*

(Sam text) Hey B :)

(Bailey text) Hey whats up?

(Sam text) layin in bed....bored...thought the sugar queen might still be wired 😜

(Bailey text) ha ha ha....so what you're saying is...you're laying in bed...and you thought of me 😋

(Sam text) Damn, busted

(Bailey text) lol thnx again for bailing me out today u r a lifesaver

(Sam text) NP I had fun

*Nick walks in and jumps on B's bed*

(Bailey text) gtg...c u tomorrow!!

(Sam text) k, nite
