”Now don’t you go telling people. I don’t need you ruining my amazing reputation,”
”Hey being sweet to people you care about isn’t a bad reputation. You can rock heels, pretty sure you can do both.” she chuckled ”You and your many talents”
“Let’s just say… she got into some trouble. And I got her out… but I also made sure that the person who got her into trouble wouldn’t be doing so again for a while,”
”Oof” she said after she listened and nodded, a part of her wanted to know or at least try to think who it might be, but she didn’t really believe she knew Jessica anymore so she couldn’t think of anyone she knew it could be, so she just let it slide. ”Well it’s up to her now, but I still think she’ll forgive you” she added with a light shrug
“You do know he’s dating that girl Bella Duran now right. Do you think it’s only so he can scream ‘Belle’ in bed without it seeming weird?”
”Oh noooo” she replied and shook her head in cringe ”That’s so weird!” she said ”Fcuking hell” she made a face and picked up the bottle again drinking from it, just because she felt like it.
“Please do, I need that argument to live rent-free in my head,”
”Hold on” she picked up her phone and looked for the recording, playing it so he could listen. She practically called a pizza place and the poor pizza guy (with the hilarious Italian accent) didn’t know how to deal with her. ”I was so!drunk” she laughed lightly and put her phone down
“I’ll have you know; they love me over there,”
”Well I’m not arguing with them you danced in heels and fishnets what’s not to love” she laughed and shook her head raising a playful brow at him
“I’ve been practicing, you never know when you will casually need a valley girl impression – it did make you laugh didn’t it? I’d say that’s a win in my book,”
”Definitely a win” she said ”all the valley girls are jealous now” she added with a small smile and ran a hand through her hair before leaning her head back against the wall facing him
“Oh that mole definitely, without a doubt, needs its own bed with how big it is,”
”Probably” she nodded ”I bet he has a king size in his room and his wife has a separate room because there’s no room for her in the bed” she added and snorted a laugh
“and I don’t even think the headmaster’s wife sleeps with him… actually I know she doesn’t. She’s been sleeping with Professor Grundy in the Art department for the last three years… don’t ask how I know that,”
”Woahh. Damn tea.” she said ”Ew a cheater.” she said and rolled her eyes. Even though she has never been in an actual relationship and always had changing people around, if there was one thing she’d never do other than a threesome with the headmaster, it would be cheating. As much as most people who don’t actually know her well would never guess that, but it’s something she always hated and told herself she will never do. ”Grundy though? He’s not the best either but technically none of them are” she added.
“so… how can anyone think you would if even his wife wouldn’t? Though I’ll give it to you. You win,”
”Wish I knew” she said and picked up the bottle again ”but at least I win” she smirked and drank from it again.
”Sounds like a jackass,”
”He was fine until he lost his wallet, but yeah” she said ”why do you think I never talked to him again” she added with a shrug
”Remember Emily Makenzie I told you about earlier?”
”My memory isn’t that short, of course I remember” she said with a joking eye roll and listened to him as he told her about the… rose petal incident. ”Butt naked tea party” she raised her brow and tried keeping a straight face but it didn’t last long, that story was just so cringeworthy.
He started telling about another one. God girls are so weird sometimes, Valerie thought to herself
”the only problem was that the table was see-through and she wouldn’t listen…”
”Oh god-“ she said with wide eyes and covered her mouth ”did people see??” she asked ”oh and you definitely won this one” she added moments later
“Alright… this isn’t really a question for both of us. But are you okay? I heard you were crying earlier…”
Oh no. Valerie started rewinding things in her brain again and bit her lip trying not to ”I’m better now I think, as much as being stuck in an elevator isn’t ideal I think it was just the distraction I needed.” she said and looked at him with a slight smile, thanking him even though she didn’t say it in words.
“was it Dom? I’ll beat the idiot up.”
”No no not at all” she said protecting Dominic ”He didn’t do anything he was actually pleasantly surprising. I just had a fight with Candice, but it’ll be okay” she said not going into detail, even though she didn’t actually believe it was going to be okay, but she tried telling herself that, maybe it would make her believe it.
