Senior Year Party!!! (Hollar!!)

[Jason Cross]

Troy looked from Zeke to Emma. "Emma? Do need me to take you home or do you need to talk about this?" Troy tried being friendly though last time he talked to her was in detention. Troy held out his hand to take Emma away from all the drama that was going on. Troy had hard times from being non confused. Emma just looked so tearful and he had to help her in some way.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma saw Troy, and scoffed. She knew for sure Troy was in on this scheme. Marco had told her for sure on that one. She didn't want to be around Troy or Zeke. "No, I'm not okay, Troy. Marco told me all about this little scheme of your's with me and Zeke. I can't believe you would do anything like that. How low can you get?" Emma said to Troy, when she suddenly heard Zeke crying out. She glared at him, and really just didn't want to hear anymore lies. Emma was officially tired of all of this and all these people around her. She just wanted to go home now, and escape it all. She then decided it was best to leave. If anyone cared, they would call her later.

Emma hopped on one foot as she took her expensive heels off. She grasped them tightly, as she began to run. She felt much better now just running, and heading home. She let a few tears escape her as she ran, but she felt soothed by the patter of her barefeet on the sidewalk pavement. She used to love to get up early and go for runs. Obviously she wasn't barefoot then, but it didn't matter. She breathed deeply as the wind passed her by. Emma had officially left the Senior Party.

Troy pulled his hand back. No, I'm not okay, Troy. Marco told me all about this little scheme of your's with me and Zeke. I can't believe you would do anything like that. How low can you get?. Troy stood up. Shocked really. "Wait, what?" Troy was mad. He knew Marco could do something but not as cruel as this. "Marco said that I was in a scheme that Zeke used you to get to Sharpay?" Troy was really mad.

He clenched his fists as tight as he could. He was going to kill Marco with his bare hands. "First off Zeke wasn't using you to get to Sharpay. He was just talking to her to set things straight so don't think this stuff. Second, how many people are that clueless that Marco is a nice guy. He was the one using you to get to Sharpay not Zeke. He twisted everything around Okay?"

Troy put his fingers under Emma's chin and gently lifted her head to look at him. "I don't exactly know everything Marco said to you, but it's going to stop here. I'm going to deal with this. You stay here and stay away from Marco." Alas he let go and gave her a hug and stood up to go off to Marco Ventura.

Bebe gaped at Emma. A scheme? To get Zeke with...?

"Oh God."

Bebe collapsed onto the ground, clutching her chest and heaving. Tears were pouring down her cheeks, and she was doing nothing to stop them. A scheme? Is that what Marco told her? And...

Bebe's brain snapped yet again. She stood up quickly, wiping blood off of her shoes. She gave one look - one pitied, conflicted, fearful look - to Zeke, trying to convey that she was sorry, but that she had to fix things.

Of course, when Bebe fixed things, they got violent.

Bebe turned to Troy, makeup running down her face, making her look like a warrior of some ancient tribe. Black mascara was streaked across her face, and her outfit was wrinkling oddly because of all the tears soaking into it. She looked like hell.

"Miss Emma," Bebe said coolly. "I don't know what plot you're talking about, but did it ever occur to you that Marco will stop at nothing to ruin Sharpay? And look at what he's done in the process. Ruined YOU. When your mind is in order -" Bebe tossed a piece of paper at her.

Now Troy. "If I don't come back, don't worry. I'm just trying to sort things out."

And Bebe fled. Her mind was locked in one mode, and one mode alone: kill Marco.

Because there was practically too much drama he decided that maybe it would be best if he left the Party, after all it didn't seem to be that he was getting any attention and too many people had ended up getting themselves hurt. He knew drama had happened everywhere, it just happened to have gone that way, even if it had been unintentional. Now he didn't know everyone at the party that well, but he knew enough about people to detect whether they were nice or not so nice as he'd found Marco to be. He wasn't the judgemental type, but he knew enough to stay away from all the drama, even if some of the drama was always around him. He just hoped all hell would not break loose. He knew things were going to change.

He sighed as he then focused on the way out. He would have to explain his absense to Troy later, but right now there was just more drama than he wanted. It didn't make any sense to him but at the same time, since when did anything regarding drama make any sense to him? He smiled casually as he made his way out of the Bolton house, he didn't know where he was going, but it was probably a safe bet to get out of there and fast. He called his father to explain that he was headed home.

He cared too much about what people thought, not about him but about other people. He was a nice guy to be sure, and he didn't like having to deal with all the people who made fun of others simply because they couldn't or refused to get to know them first. "Of all the times I've moved, why the hell does all this have to be so complicated? Why is there always Drama?" He thought as he had left the house.

((Dunno if this thread is still going... But hey, it's not locked, so I thought... Why not? ))

Chad was wondering around the party, looking for someone to talk to. There seemed to be a number of drama’s going on. Dude… This was exactly why he was required at parties. He was funny, sweet and charming. He kept everyone in stitches with his wild antics so they completely forgot about fighting. Argh! He was going to kill his mom!!

He continued wondering until he saw Bebe talking to Troy. Woah. What was going on there? She looked like hell then, but he could tell she’d looked pretty hot earlier. His mother was not going to reach her next birthday…

Bebe was saying something, but he couldn’t hear it over everything else. He frowned in confusion, striding forward. What was wrong with her? She looked really upset and quite furious. Luckily, as she turned to flee, she was going in his direction and without really thinking about it, he threw his arms out and grabbed her by the shoulders, stopping her from going further and lurching her back with an accidental jolt.

“Hey, Babe, what’s up?” He asked, genuinely concerned, trying to keep her from running away. Aww, her mascara was ruined. She’d been crying? He really wanted to pull her into a hug, but first, he had to get to the bottom of this.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe took one look at Chad, and her stomach froze. Tears began to pour down her face. He saw. There was no way he didn't. Now she was going to lose the only thing she loved in this world... she once had Emma and Zeke, but chances were she wouldn't have them anymore. Bebe pushed Chad away, biting her lip.

"Chad, Miss Emma... she's gone mad. Marco... Marco told her things. Bad things, horrible things," Bebe explained, voice trembling. "Like that we... that Zeke used her to get to Sharpay, and that we... the Wildcats... that we knew about it, and..."

Bebe grabbed Chad again. If she hadn't confused him now, she didn't know WHAT she'd done. Tears splashed onto his shirt, and Bebe tried to catch them before they fell. But there were just too many of them.

"And Zeke's... Zeke's losing his mind, and I... Chad, he..." Bebe cut off. "He's so confused, really confused, and I need to go, and find Marco and KILL HIM."

Bebe's expression changed.

And this, you see, Bebe, is why you had no friends.

((Sorry it’s short, but I figured it’s better than nothing. Also, apologies for Chad being so fluffy!! I figured he’d be a pretty good boyfriend if he actually found a girl he liked well enough!!))
For several moments, Chad just stared at Bebe, blinking stupidly. Finally he mustered a dumb “Wha?” He had totally missed something here, because that made no sense whatsoever. And who was Marco?

He put an arm around Bebe’s shoulders, trying to find a tissue or something in his back pocket to wipe her face down. She looked like a wreck! And she was crying, making his heart hurt. He didn’t like it when she was upset, he realised. But that made sense. The rest of it, he was completely confused about!

“Hey now, why don’t you go back to the beginning and explain it to me? I only just got here, thanks to my mom, so I’m kinda lost,” he said gently, kissing her on the head and wiping her hair away from her face. He’d found his handkerchief (a clean one too; his mother always made him carry one) and passed it to her, smiling nervously. He’d never done this whole boyfriend-comforting-the-girlfriend thing. It was kind of really foreign to him, and he just hoped he was doing it right!

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe felt Chad wrap a warm, enveloping arm around her, and instantly her tears began to dry up. She bit her lip and turned to Chad, who was all ears. As soon as Bebe calmed herself, she began.

"Marco Ventura showed up," Bebe explained. "He's in our homeroom, and he's a total jerk. A real jerk. He called Ryan a fag earlier this year and he's stalking Miss Sharpay. Anyway... he told Miss Emma... a lot of lies. Like that Zeke was only going out with her so that he could finally end up with Sharpay, and that we - Troy and Gabi and you and me and Jason - we all knew about it and were helping him... so she broke up with him. And Zeke - Zeke totally lost it. One minute he was trying to kill himself, the next he was trying to kiss ME, and... it's so complicated, Chad, I'm so confused, I've never been this confused in my life!!"

Bebe buried herself in Chad's arm socket, crying once again. So much for a fun senior year party.

((It's okay if yours is short... so is mine. ))

[cyelena]

Once again, Chad found himself blinking for several seconds, going over everything in his mind. As soon as it all processed, he found he had to fight down a rather insane rage. Not only had this... Marco (and gee, what a gay name!) messed with his friend, he’d messed with his girlfriend too. What a prick. Chad clenched his fists, still hugging Bebe, taking a few deep breaths and counting to ten, not wanting to add more drama to the evening by going and castrating such a bastard.

Instead, he settled for kissing the top of Bebe’s head again, trying to calm her down.

“Uh, I think if Emma were your friend, she’d, yanno, forgive you and all. I mean, she barely knows this Marco guy right? Why would she trust his word over all of ours? Hey wait! Why was I included in this evil plan?” He shook his head to clear it. He went through the scene again, trying to work it all out. Bebe was confused? At least she’d been there. His head felt like it was going to explode with how confused he was.

“Wait! Did you say Zeke tried to kiss you?” He squawked.
