Chapter 11

Vannessa walked into the crowded cafeteria with a smug smile on her face.

She pushed the sunglasses she was wearing up onto her head. The atmosphere in the caf was thick with muttering.

Ms Flemming was having students orignize a banner to hang at the entrance right above vannessa.

It read- "westerburg! A happy and safe space!"

Vannessa shook her head. Suddenly a loud sound from a bull horn made a geek spill milk all over himself.

"Attention Westerburg!"

She stood on a table in the middle of the caf with TV cameras surrounding her.

"This school has been torn apart by tragedy. I'm here to fuse it back again! With togetherness! We need to connect this cafeteria Into one mighty circuit- look at the TV crew! Connect your paws everyone!"

She sees Martha in a corner dive underneath a lunch table, she doesn't like the cameras.

Vannessa is startled when heather Duke comes up to her

"Looks like Mrs phlegms on another one of her cruisades. With success of course."

Heather if invited her and spotted a camera. Her feet clacked as she made a beeline to it. The reporter happily shoved a microphone into her face.

"And what's your name?"

"Hi I'm heather Duke."

Vannessa groaned and looked to the side.

With no warning a warm scent of cigarettes and two warm arms engulfing her startled her.

She put her hands on JDs arms and smiled softly.

He rested his head on her shoulder. "Is this as good for you as it is for me-?"

Vannessa smiled.

"Even better."

JD and vannessa kisses and suddenly a bright light was poured on them.

"See,"

Said Mrs. Flemming's voice.

"There is still love in this school, if we come together we might be able to tramp all pain and make Westerburg a Better and safer place!"

Vannessa and JD scowled at the camera.

She raised her finger.

"Eat a dick Mrs. Phlegm-ing"

The camera man laughed and the reporter turned to Mrs Flemming who looked scandalous.

JD and vannessa ran out of the packed caf and I to the empty hallway.

After a few minutes JD tore his lips from hers and smiled.

"I need a word with Martha dunnstock."

Vannessa smiled, she knew what it was about.

"Why?"

JD chuckled and kissed her neck.

"A suprise."

"I'll be right back.

Vannessa laughed and stepped away.

"I'll wait."

"Today was chaos."

Vannessa sat on the dean's rubbery sofa once again.

JD was lying down, his head resting in vannessa's lap, her hand stroking his hair.

He looked up at her and smiled.

"Today was great."

He jumped up and walked over to the TV

"I mean today was great, chaos is great."

He turned to face vannessa and bent over slightly.

"Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs darling."

Vannessa got up and wrapped her arms around her lover.....

"Our way is the way."

He wrapped his arms around her and felt her soft hair. His voice continuing softly.

"We scare people into not being assholes."

Vannessa repeated his words looking up at him.

"Our way is the way."

They kissed together-

"Woah! Ever think of knocking dad?"

Bud Dean had walked in, continueing the backwards talk of the dean household.

JD let go of vannessa and looked up at his dad.

"Always keep the door open 4 inches."

Vannessa sighed.

"Beautiful... The beavers home."

Bud dean smiled and waved a tape.

"Judge told em to slurp shit and die."

He waved his tape.

"Got the demolition right here."

He shoved the tape into the TV and smiled as a large brick building collapsed into rubble.

"I put a Norwegian in the boiler room... It set off the pack of thermals I had upstairs."

He cackled evily as JD watched in wonder as the building collapsed.

Bud dean smiled as he took the tape from the TV and walked out humming some underrated rock song.

Vannessa plopped down on the couch and JD collapsed next to her.

"Do you like your dad?"

JD sighed and looked off into space.

"I don't know.... Never really given the matter much thought."

He picked up a picture of a blonde woman wearing sun glasses.

"Liked my mom though.... They said her death was an accident... But.... She knew what she was doing."

He glanced at Vannessa and she saw the pain In his eyes. The longing for his mother to tuck him in one more time....

"She walked into that building 2 minutes before dad blew the place up."

He placed the framed photo of the smiling woman down on the table.

"She waved at me from the window....then..."

He frowned slightly at the picture.

"Boom."

He pushed the photo face front downwards.

Suddenly the radio began to get his attention, playing the top song of the day.

"-and now, welcome the band 'big fun'!"

JD chuckled and got up.

"They're playing our song!"

He turned the little dial.

"Teenage suicide! Don't do it! Teenage suicide! Don't do it!"

JD walked towards vannessa before reaching Into his pocket and taking out his hand gun and shot the radio. Making it smoke.

Vannessa jumped up from her seat and took the gun.

"Give me a go!"

She pointed it at the TV playing heather Duke's interview.

BOOM.

She got it right in the center. The screen went black and it smoked slightly.

JD turned towards her and stroked her cheek.

"I love you."

Vannessa kissed his warm lips.

"I love you too."

Vannessa and JD collapsed together onto the squeaky sofa. A heap of teenage love.
