Jane’s mom chided.
“Um we’re gonna go jogging!” Jane said finally looking frantically around the now smaller group.
“Well alright I guess, you girls have a good time.” Jane’s mom added as she headed into the bathroom to shower. The girls quickly ducked out the door relieved.
“Jogging?!?!!!” Joanie asked. “She’s gonna think that’s mighty odd.”
Jane sighed. “Well what the heck did you want me say? That we all snuck out last night, but April and Sally never came back? She’d KILL me!”
Joanie shook head and groaned. They had to find them but how? They decided to first head towards the school. Some of the kids had cut a hole in the fence, and they sometimes climbed on the roof to drink. As they were heading towards the school, they noticed two familiar looking figures heading towards them. The three girls slowed as the pair came nearer. April was helping Sally along.
“Where the hell have you been all night?!” Kate yelled. She wasn’t a morning person, and she resented the fact that they had to go out into the cold dawn to look for the reckless girls.
Sally groaned as she held her head and sank to the sidewalk. “Please don’t talk so loud.” she whispered.
April just grinned and looked over to the others coyly. “She can’t hold her liquor she’s been puking her guts out most of the morning.”
“No thanks to you!” Joanie said looking at them disgustedly. “Just where the hell were you last night?” She asked for the first time noticing the rather large fresh hicky on April’s neck.
April sighed. “If you must know we were over at Chris’s house, his parents were out of town, and he was having a party.”
“Looks more like a puke-o-rama.” Joanie muttered as Sally ran for the bushes.
“Well it was more entertaining than hanging around you creampuffs. I need more action than listening to your constant babble.”
“Thanks because our babble is way above your IQ level.” Joanie said standing taller as April came up to her face to face.
April stood inches away from her as her eyes narrowed. “I’m sick of your better than everyone attitude. All you are is a tease Joanie. Unlike you, I don’t start anything I’m not prepared to finish.”
Joanie smiled wickedly her green eyes growing darker with her anger. “Well April here I am let’s finish it.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Kate said grabbing Joanie as Jane grabbed April. “You two settle down! Come on Joanie trash like that ain’t worth fooling with.”
The girls helped Sally up and drug her back down the street towards Jane's house as April turned to head home.
‘Damn goody two shoes! Who needs ’em? Not me.’ April muttered to herself as she lit a cigarette. She was shivering from the cold as she headed home and sadly knew that she would find no warmth there. A single tear slid down her face as she walked slowly away alone.
The chilled girls swooped into the kitchen along with the cold air. They were thrilled to find that Jane’s mom had hot chocolate waiting for them. Sally passed up the chocolate and instead lay gratefully down on the living room floor and soon fell asleep. Joanie and Kate decided to pack up and walk home after thanking Jane’s parents. Her father offered to drive them, but they turned him down they needed to talk. They thanked Jane and her parents as they left.
Chapter 11
The cold wind bit through Joanie’s jacket and sweater as the two headed home. It had started to snow and the tiny frozen flakes bit into their skin.
“So what number were you?” Kate asked as they headed down Jane's street.
“Huh?”
“You know the slam book.”
“Oh, three.”
“Really you’ve only gotten to first base?”
“I guess so; I wonder who put down Mr. Redmond. That’s just gross.”
“At least it wasn’t Coach.” A mental picture flashed through Joanie's head of Coach in a smoking jacket, and she broke into gales of laughter.
