Daydreams

Mission: The Factions
Location: Drake Academy
Timeline: Afternoon

Kenneth Todd looked at the clock on the wall yet again. Why wasn’t it moving! His pencil tap-tapped a staccato rhythm on his desk, though it was silent as he muffled the sound waves. He turned his gaze back to the front of the room where two seniors were giving the juniors a talk on their options for the summer. Unlike most schools, Drake Academy was partially residential, meaning some of its students lived there full time, mostly the mutant ones. They could go home, but many didn’t have homes that would welcome their return. So the school had to have things for them to do. There was summer school, recreational activities, summer trips.

Kenny’s mind wandered. The senior girls -- Ebony and Ivory, a black girl and a blonde white girl -- were hot. He didn’t know them well. They were in his brother Matt’s class. Damn. His eyes ran along their legs beneath their pleated skirts. They had definitely rolled the waist, because they were well above the knee. He smiled as his imagination turned a bit more...intimate.

Someone kicked the back of his chair, and Kenny jumped. His pencil clattered to his desk a lot louder than it should as he lost his control on the sound.

“Problem?” Ivory asked, looking over at Kenny.

“No, just, uh, dropped my pencil,” Kenny said.

“Pay attention,” Ebony sniffed with annoyance.

When they had returned to enjoying the sound of their own voices, Kenny looked behind him at the girl with rainbow hair behind him. Amy Lightner, one of the members in his band, and an ex.

“What?” Kenny asked her.

“Ew much? I can practically feel you stripping them with your eyes!”

“Babe, Ah’m way past the undressin’ stage,” Kenny said in his Appalachian drawl and winked at her.

Amy gave him a dead stare with her strangely rainbow colored eyes.

“Don’t tell me you weren’t?”

Amy blushed. “I don’t want you in my daydreams with my fantasies!”

“It would be fun, though,” Kenny teased.

Amy stuck her tongue out.

Then they were saved by the bell. “Oh, thank God!” Kenny said louder than he intended, getting a glare from the senior girls, who tried to ge a few more words in as everyone was moving to pack up.

“Lunch?” Amy asked Kenny.

“Sure.”

“Think you can sneak into the kitchen and get me some of your sister’s brownies?”

“The special ones?” Kenny grinned.

“I know your sister doesn’t make those. That’s all you,” Amy said with a smirk. “But no. Save those for band practice after school.”

Kenny paused a bit as the crowd seemed to knot up and then divert slightly. “Hey, isn’t that Xander’s sister? Cecily?” Ebony and Ivory were talking to the blonde girl, but Cecily was just staring off into space.

“Yeah,” Amy said with a frown as Ebony and Ivory pulled out a Sharpie to draw on Cecily’s face while she was having one of her fits. “Bitches.”

“Hot bitches.”

“Cece is an angel.”

“A hot angel.”

“God! Can you not think of sex for two seconds!”

“Teenage boy. One and a half is about all I can manage.”

Amy’s eyes rolled, and they passed Cecily as she came out of her fit and hurried off.

“Oh! Tacos today!” Kenny said with excitement as they entered the cafeteria.
