Chapter Two

Keegan Allen is Steve. Keegan/Steve is to the top or side along with the theme song.

Theme song: "So What" by P!nk

I could hardly sleep that night what with all the excitement about Steve and the Cirque du Freak show. I was tossing and turning all night. Somehow I eventually fell asleep at 2:00 a.m. Leaving me with 4 1/2 hours of sleep before school which let me tell you really screws you up.

My alarm went off at 6:30 just as it should have, unfortunately. Having an hour or two more sleep would be nice, but the sooner I walk to school I can see Steve again. Quickly I get ready and put a little more make up on than usual. Ya know just cause. After throwing some cereal in a bag to eat on the way to school, it's Frosted Flakes my favorite. I look out the window to find Steve and Darren waiting in my yard. They are having what looks like a heated conversation.

When I open the door their heads turn. I wave, popping food in my mouth, right as I got there Darren reaches his hand into my food,

"Hey," I whine

He smiles shoving a gigantic handful in his mouth.

I try to turn away but he grabs me around my arms pinning them to my sides from behind me, reaching for the cereal.

I giggle, attempting to wriggle free of Darren's bear hug. I find a way out and run away towards the school he follows and Steve tries to keep up.

I stop around the corner shoving the food in my bag, then put my hands up and shout,

"I don't have it!"

"I don't believe you, where could it be at?"

"I'm not saying,"

"I don't want to resort to Torture," he threatens

"No!" I squeal

He darts forward and Tortures me. That, to us, means tackling me to the ground and wrestling for the prize whatever that might be.

"Steve has it now!" I squeal.

Then quick as I can while Darren turns, I grab the bag and throw it towards Steve. Just barely with my sloppy halfway-underneath-Darren throw, he catches it. We play monkey in the middle for a bit after I stand up of course when Darren rushes Steve then right as it lands in my hand I shout,

"We are going to be late,"

Darren swears.

We get in a sorta kind of line me and Steve in front Darren behind. He seems a little left out so I ask him the usual,

"How's Spidey?"

"Fine, told me to say 'meet you in hell'" his practically scripted response

"Strange," I muse "I don't allow spiders in hell anymore," I make a confused noise.

"What about vampires, babe?" Steve asked right on cue.

"Only you," I say giving him a quick wink.

That's our daily conversation. We made it with two minuets to spare.

In English class Tommy would not stop asking about Steve and I. I got sick of it.

"Damn it Thomas, shut up,"

"Elizabeth I bet you did him to get that ticket,"

My checks got hot, I stood up, but quietly so not everyone would stare at me, walked over to his desk and I decked him. Only one living person who can call me Elizabeth and get away with it. I will not tolerate anybody else calling me, that I refuse.

"The worst mistake you made is calling me 'Elizabeth' never do that again. And you know exactly why." I sneered "It just hurts way too bad." I finish in a hurt voice, tears rimming my eyes, but I wipe them away.

"Liz! Go to the office!" Mr. Dalton demanded

"Yes, Sir." I say packing my bag, hiking it on my shoulder and marching out the room.
