Gray Snow: Chapter Eight

Today was one of those days when the sky was dark with clouds and never wanting to go to school again was normal. Smashing your alarm clock against the wall could easily become routine. But as much as Dana hated it, she got up for school and woke up Rayne and Shane. Rayne had taken after Shane and stayed over all the time, especially since it was getting close to basketball season and Shane wouldn’t be around as much. Someone had to look after her.

As he rolled over and watched her leave the room, Rayne had a feeling that something important was going to happen today. He didn’t know what because he wasn’t psychic but his instinct wasn’t one to lie. So he flipped the blankets covering his body over and stood, stretching. Today was his second day of school at Nesera.

Lately, all Shane could think about was Dana. The way she smiled, tasted, laughed, glared. How she would scrunch her face up when she was trying to understand. He also wondered what she looked like naked, how her skin would feel against his or if she would moan when he touched her. He considered the possibility that he might be obsessed or just extremely lusty, perhaps even love-sick. His dream the night before made him curious and wanting to do what he dreamt but more thoroughly. But he knew she wouldn’t go for it. He also knew that he needed to talk to Jake today, badly, before he did anything else.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shane left early to pick up Jake for basketball practice. To Dana, he seemed a little jumpy and he wouldn’t explain why when she asked. It was strange but he would probably tell her later. In a way, she was glad he drove himself to school today; she wanted to have a talk with Rayne after school today and she didn’t want to do it with Shane around because Rayne would be less inclined to tell her the truth.

She had it pretty well planned out: while she was driving to get Lara, she would let him know that she wanted to know more about his past and that would give him a chance to get ready for it when she asked again after school but then expecting him to give her an answer. Then depending on how long their chat took and how she was feeling, she would talk to Lara about Shane, it was perfect and it would make her life a whole lot less complicated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rayne was silent. He knew this was coming and somehow his gut knew it was today. He was surprised it was time; he couldn’t keep it a secret forever. Not from her.

“Rayne? You okay?” Dana looked at him with concern.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I was actually just thinking earlier this morning that this was coming soon. I’m just a bit skeptic, you know?” he admitted.

“Why would you be skeptic about this?” They were nearing Lara’s house but Dana drover a little slower, waiting for his answer. It came after a moments’ hesitation.

“I just… well I guess I’m a little afraid of what you’ll think about it. About me.” He stared sadly out the window, watching the houses go past.

Dana raised her eyebrow, “Is it really that bad?”

“Depends on how you look at it, I guess.” He shrugged.

They reached Lara’s house and Dana hit he horn, and turned to face Rayne.

“Well, I’m not going to bug you about it anymore until after school. So you’ll have plenty of time to decide what you’d like to tell me,” she smiled and Rayne’s sad expression didn’t change, “Hey, I’m sure I won’t take it as bad as you think I will.”

He offered a small smile in return. I hope you’re right…

Lara came bounding in the car and they were off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they arrived at Nesera, Dana was sure she saw at least a quarter of the male population huddled up and trying to peek over everyone else to look in to the office. It was strange, to say the least. She had never seen that many boys around the office before, especially since it appeared that the boys were the ones she usually saw being dragged there by a teacher on a regular basis. What also caught her off guard was that as far as she could recognize, these were the boys that used girls mercilessly for their own pleasure. Players, as they were called. What could be in there that they’d be crawling all over each other to gain a glance?

The trio stopped close to the pack and found they couldn’t see inside so Dana jabbed her finger at the boy closest to her.

“Hey. What’s going on?” he looked right pissed off that she had disturbed him but he answered her, nevertheless.

“There’s a fucking hot chick in there and she’s talking about going to school here.” He turned then and started talking animatedly to a guy next to him about obscene things they wish they could do if they could get in a room alone with her.

Disgusted, Dana turned away and said, “New chick,” then headed to her locker with the two in tow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn’t until second block that Dana actually saw the girl the perverts were talking about.

She was average height with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. Her clothes, if you could consider them as such, consisted of a very low cut spaghetti strap and a piece of cloth they call a “mini skirt”. She looked like she would fall in her bright red, three inch high heels but she walked pretty slowly.

So this was the girl the pricks were drooling about? She looked perfect for them anyways- a huge slut.

The slut took a seat next to Shane who was busy writing, er, copying Dana’s notes and didn’t really notice the flirtatious looks the girl was giving him.

Dana gagged loudly and quickly looked back at the front. She missed the glare the slut sent her but quickly went back to trying to gain Shane’s attention.

She caressed his arm and he looked at her, not impressed.

“Can I help you?” he asked as he sighed.

She bit her lip and giggled, “What’s your name, handsome?”

“Shane.” He went back to writing notes but she grabbed his pen and smiled widely, “I’m Chastity Demure.”

Dana snorted and Shane laughed. Hard.

“Sure you are.” He took his pen back from her and continued with his notes. She let out a frustrated sound and faced the front.

Mr. Clark came in and started the class, as usual, with a biology joke and more notes.

All throughout the class, “Chastity” was rubbing her leg against Shane’s and doing things to purposely talk to him or touch him. Shane only seemed to get more annoyed.

Dana loved his reaction, though. It’s happened before and Shane never gave the sluts the time of day. Obviously, now she knew more as to why that was, besides him never wanting a girl for only sec and hating that girls and guys just threw themselves at the opposite sex.

After class, some of the players came up to Shane and asked why the hell he treated Chastity like that. And if he didn’t want her, then he should reference her to them.

“You guys are pathetic pigs.” Dana stated, waiting for Shane patiently beside him.

The boys turned to her and winked with lust, “You want some, babe?”

“Hey, fuck off!” Shane put in and steered Dana to the cafeteria before she could say something else.

“Let us know, sweetheart!” They called down the hall. Dana managed to show off her middle finger before they rounded the corner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day consisted of tons of eye rolling, snorting and laughing fits. It was obvious as to why.

Dana dropped off Lara after school and promised to call her later.

She and Rayne drove in silence, heading to Dana’s house, having already had the discussion with Lara about the appalling thoughts of Chastity Demure. Frankly, Dana didn’t want to hear about her for the rest of the night, or ever for that matter. Rayne couldn’t agree more.

They got out of Black Betty and headed for the kitchen where Dana got to work on supper. She turned around, looking at Rayne expectantly.

It was time for Rayne to confess. He took a deep breath and began.

For those of you who didn't bother to read the note, even though it was there for a while, go back to the last chapter and find the changes that i made. In short, the stuff that Shane did to Dana was a dream.

I give you all permission to beat me up. Sorry! And thanks so much for all of your support.

Oh and, I WANT REVIEWS ON THIS ONE.

Rayne's past is next chapter!!!!!!!

Love, Rae.
