*****
Billy Jefferson and Justin Hilliard were excited as the cashier at Hotdog on a Stick handed them the extra-large rainbow Slurpee. Both guys had gone back and forth about going through with the intended prank with Justin finally daring Billy into acting by threatening to tell the rest of their clique that he was the ultimate pussy. They'd searched the mall high and low finally locating a target sitting right below them at a food court. It was a fellow senior student and classmate Holly Michaelson. She fit the bill perfectly at five foot nine, a guessed three hundred pounds of female geek. She had long brown hair that stopped at the middle of her back terminating in the front with overly long bangs that all but obscured her small, deep set eyes. She was sitting directly below them alone with several plates of Pizza in front of her and two 64 ounce cups of soda. a large bag of chips occupied the seat next to her.
"Weird Science Challenge?"
"That's right bro; we're doing this shit, right?" Justin was anxious and excited not believing what was about to happen.
"Hell yeah bro, ain't no pussies around here man!" The mall was bustling with customers and vendors They looked over the banister making sure their intended victim was still there. Holly was sitting quietly by herself reading a copy of Anne Frank for her English Class assignment.
"Wait till I get in place before you go Billy, got to get it all recorded." Justin bolted across the floor sprinting down the escalator to get into place across from Holly. He gave the thumbs up to his pal once his camera phone was recording.
The multicolored stream of the Slurpee landed hitting the large teen dead center in the scalp splashing dramatically from the top of her head across all her food and belongings. There were more gasps than laughter as Holly sat quietly taking stock of the situation. No one rushed to her aid as the empty plastic cup landed bouncing off the table to the floor. Billy bolted as security rushed up to the upper level ineptly overlooking him. He was so scared that he nearly pissed his pants rushing out of the mall to the adjacent parking garage where he would rendezvous with Justin Hilliard fifteen minutes later. Justin already uploaded the phone video to World Star with the act garnering a record number of views thirty minutes after it was uploaded. Billy worried about being discovered was assured that a dummy IPO had been used. Justin claimed that his geeky brother set everything up beforehand for things like bootleg movies and other items illegal through regular channels.
"Shit man, you a "BOSS" my Nig!" Justin liked to emulate stereotypical urban talk which alienated a lot of their friends.
"Bitch shouldn't have been sitting there; it's like she was waiting for us bro!!" Both guys had a good laugh watching the video over and over again. He noticed Holly sitting there with this intense expression on her round, cartoonish face when he paused the video a couple of times. It was frozen in a scowl, stone like and impassive. Her long brown hair was matted to her head hiding part of her features under a sticky multicolored rainbow film. Billy began to feel little more than annoyed and challenged as he looked at the video and the look on her face. He felt like Holly was challenging her unknown antagonist in her own silent way and resolved to break her.
The following day Billy sat at the back of class with his camera phone ready to catch his latest prank on the unsuspecting girl. The class was in the middle of a pop quiz and its teacher Mr. Johnson was known to be almost militaristically strict. He's already paid his money and given strict instructions to the parties involved.
"Holly Michaelson?" The door to the class suddenly burst open revealing a pizza delivery man. Everyone perked up giggling a little bit as Mr. Johnson confronted the pimply faced college student.
"Now what is the meaning of this intrusion!"
"Just delivering an order- Holly Michaelson?!!" Several students pointed in her direction as spontaneous fits of laughter erupted in the room. The large teen had nowhere to go dwarfing her desk so much that portions of her torso bulged out the back of the furniture. She was wearing a flannel lumberjack shirt over jeans and some flower print flip flops. Her smallish round face was crimson as the lanky delivery man walked up to her desk removing three supersized pizzas from his hot bag. He removed two boxes of hot wings before unslinging a bag hanging from his shoulder which contained a two liter of diet coke.
"Just like you ordered, oh, there's a mint in one of the boxes." Holly looked around at her classmates noticing several camera phones filming her predicament. Mr. Johnson looked as if he would explode.
"Bone petit." The delivery man walked out of class happy go lucky with his hands in both back pockets whistling as the entire class laughed and commented on the proceedings. The deliveryman had placed the boxes on top of her test soiling it with grease stains. The two-liter bottle of soda had been haphazardly placed atop the stack falling off to burst open on the floor as several students jumped up dislodging their desks to avoid the splash.
"Holly Michaelson please take your early lunch to the cafeteria and enjoy yourself; you have received an F on the quiz." The large girl silently left class with the food to a chorus of boos and cat calls. Some people even tossed balls of paper at the her while she left. Billy caught the whole thing perfectly on his camera phone.
Later that evening Billy and some of his friends laughed at the video once it was uploaded noting the epic number of views it garnered.
"That shit was funny but lame at the same time bro!" One guy countered after watching the footage.
"How's that shit lame, it's funny as fuck dawg so how's it lame?" The Asian student rolled his eyes at Justin's pseudo urban speak.
"You dicks ripped that shit off from an old movie."
"No we didn't homey, right Billy?" Justin looked to his friend who continued watching the video noticing the same impassive, emotionless expression on his victim's face for the second time in two days.
"Yo Billy, how many times you going to look at that shit man?" Billy glanced over at his friends a moment before looking at the frozen video of Holly's defiant expression once more.
"I'm thinking Mexican Hat Trick fellas; got to finesse this shit." All of the guys looked puzzled as he snatched up his car keys. The group would spend the next two hours making a nuisance of themselves at Costco. They left the store with three carts full of items for the next prank headed out to their high school. The school janitor allowed them to use his master keys for a few bills and a bottle of jack. There was a skeleton key on the ring that allowed access to the student lockers.
Holly Michaelson lumbered up the hallway through the droves of students milling about still angry about the two pranks that had been played on her in the last two days. Someone had it in for her and she didn't have a clue to the identity of the culprit. Holly was in a hurry to get to her algebra class running a little behind schedule. She'd felt as if someone was watching her and was a little apprehensive looking around before she began opening her locker. The large teen was unprepared for what happened when she opened her locker. Torrents of cookies and other treats began raining from her locker littering the hallway floor and pooling around her sandaled feet. Holly looked around as now familiar laughter filled the teen stuffed corridor. Billy was within five feet of her recording the entire thing laughing with everyone else as her face finally broke into tears. He laughed the hardest along with everyone else as she shoved her way through her peers disappearing into the crowd.
Billy skipped his last class to hang out with his friends at the back of the school. The campus was sprawling enough that many skaters used the area. There was this huge wall that separated the campus from a wooded area where students liked to congregate. Billy sat on the wall along with Justin and the rest of his clique.
"So, bro, when's the wedding?" The Asian guy's name was Eddie.
"What are you talking about bro?" Billy and Justin were clueless as their other friends laughed.
"You and Holly; we know you like her Billy." The disgusted look on his face caused even more laughter.
"Fuck you man!!"
