This choice: Chris gets the girls to help do his hair and makeup. • Go Back...Chapter #6Chris gets the girls to help do his hair and ma... by: Kirafair   Ashley Watson jumped up and pulled Chris aside “What the hell is going on?” she whispered
Chris spied the fuming Sloane over Ashley’s shoulder. This was precisely the reaction he was hoping for. He briefly explained what had happened and added “She thought she was going to embarrass me and make me beg at her feet. I’m not going to play along”
Ashley gave him a skeptical look “You’re not embarrassed wearing her clothes?”
“A little I guess. But its worth it to see her squirming over there. Besides I don’t look half bad in this dress” he quipped.
Ashley felt a growing sense of pride that her friend had stood up to Sloane. He was doing something that probably needed to be done for awhile now. Sloane Underwood was the prototype for the ‘Mean Girl’. Accumulating a circle of sycophants at school and bullying anyone she deemed inferior. Which was pretty much everyone.
At times Ashley hated that she went along with some of Sloane’s antics in fear of getting on her bad side. Seeing Chris turn the tables on her prank was emboldening.
“Do you really want to make Sloane’s blood boil?” Ashley asked with mysterious grin. After she described her idea, Chris was smiling as well.
*****
Sloane was still sitting in a circle with some other girls. She desperately was trying to control her anger and regain control of the situation.
“You know Chris really isn’t a good kisser. More like a dead fish” she said testily. Her efforts met with limited success
A burst of laughter from the other room caught her attention. She looked over to see a group of classmates step aside to allow Chris to pass through. He was even waving his upraised left hand slowly like a Queen parading past her subjects
Her eyes grew wide in disbelief when she realized his short hair was more femininely arranged. It was clear he was wearing eye makeup. He looked noting like his usual dorky self. Sloane stormed over to confront him
“What is the meaning of this?” she demanded.
Chris ignored her question “Let’s get this dance party started.” He let out a loud “Whoop” as someone cranked the music louder. Sloane watched with horror as Chris started dancing with a bunch of boys. Her classmates must have been clued into the joke since they kept referring to Chris as “Sloane the Party Girl”
Sloane had endured enough humiliation. She grabbed her handbag and stormed out of the house.
It took awhile but it finally dawned on Chris that she wasn’t coming back. He was going to have some explaining to do when he got home later.
*****
Chris paused for a moment before entering his house. He summoned up as much courage as he could. This was going to be awkward.
His Mom was sitting in the living room reading a book. She instantly knew something was amiss due to the loud sound the high heel boots made as he walked across the tile floor.
Her book dropped from her hand onto the carpet as she stared at her son. He was wearing a Blue knit dress and Black knee high boots. Chris was wearing eyeliner and mascara. He looked at her with a sly grin
“Let’s face it. This isn’t even the craziest thing you’ve seen me do”
*****
The next day Chris was cleaning the stove in an effort to get back into his Mother’s good graces. While somewhat sympathetic to his plight after Sloane’s prank, she was angry with him that he’d been a willing participant. Chris should have demonstrated more common sense.
The doorbell ringing distracted him from the mundane work. He paid little attention to the conversation his Mother was having with the visitor
He only halted his efforts when Mrs Underwood followed his Mom into the kitchen. She was carrying a neatly folded pile of clothes and some sneakers. Chris recognized them as his own
Mrs Underwood looked much like an older version of Sloane. Shoulder length straight Blonde hair and some expensive looking clothes. Chris wondered if he was reading her expression correctly. She didn’t appear angry.
“Chris, would you join us?” his Mom motioned toward the kitchen table. He warily complied.
“Sloane’s Mother asked if you could explain what happened last night”
Chris launched into a description of the events. He was forthright and fully admitted his own mistakes. He expected to bear the full displeasure of Mrs. Underwood but she just grimly nodded her head.
“Not exactly the same version Sloane described but I believe you Chris. I spoke with the Watson family and they backed your side of the story.
“Say, I know you kids frequently share photos after such parties. Can you show me any?” Chris got his phone and showed her a few photos of him in Sloane’s dress.
He felt a need to atone for his actions. “I’ll be paying from my own savings to have the dress dry cleaned”
Mrs Underwood was still looking at the photos “That is very kind of you Chris. My daughter on the other hand was adamant that she would never be seen wearing that dress or boots again. She said you can keep them.”
Chris gulped nervously thinking of the cost of her clothes. Mrs. Underwood handed the phone back “Would you mind leaving us alone. I’d like to talk to your Mother”
Chris grabbed his pile of clothes and headed upstairs to his bedroom feeling a sense of dread.
*****
Lauren Underwood was deeply troubled. The incident had confirmed something that she had suspected for awhile. Her only child had become an arrogant entitled bully. In other words a bitch
“Cynthia, I won’t presume to tell you how to deal with your son but please don’t be too harsh. He seems to be a fine young boy and this wasn’t his fault. He has quite the engaging personality as well.
Cynthia Jackson shrugged “He has his moments”
Lauren had been considering an idea ever since she looked at the photos of Chris in the dress “I have a thought. One in which both of our children may learn a lesson, particularly for Sloane. But I would need your help and in a way Chris’ cooperation as well.”
*****
The next day.
Chris stared out the window from his Mother’s bedroom. He still wasn’t sure why he had agreed to Mrs Underwood’s scheme.
He saw a car pull to the curb in front of his house. Sloane stepped out looking decidedly unhappy. She was wearing a Chocolate Brown sweater that ended just past her waist, Black leggings, and over the knee Dark Brown Suede boots. Sloane reluctantly followed her Mother up the walkway to his house. Chris backed away from the window. He wasn’t supposed to be seen.
At least not yet.
*****
Sloane glanced from side to side looking to see if anyone nearby had noticed her arrival. That would only make it worse. She hated being here. Sloane was unsure what her Mother had in mind with this visit. Hopefully a quick apology and they could leave. She had some last minute shopping to do before the family left for their trip tomorrow.
With no explanation Chris’ Mother lead them upstairs. Sloane’s curiosity was growing by the second. They entered a bedroom that she quickly concluded must be Chris’. A dresser was topped with a couple sports trophies and the walls held pictures from school. Sloane could contain herself no longer
“Is Chris here?”
His mother smiled serenely “He will be soon.” With those cryptic words she left the room and closed the door behind her.
“What’s going on Mother?”
Sloane recoiled when her Mother turned toward her. She had never seen her so angry.
“Besides your juvenile antics with Chris I have since learned you lied to me about what happened. Your Father and I have decided you need to be punished not only for your behavior that night but for your general attitude of late”
Sloane’s body trembled with fear unsure how to respond.
Her Mother shook her head in disgust “Get undressed” she commanded
Sloane was dumbfounded “What? Here?”
“Yes! Do it now!”
Sloane still had no idea what this was all about. She took a seat on Chris bed and began to do as ordered. She only stoped when she was down to just her bra and panties.
“Keep going. Your jewelry as well”
Sloane removed her underwear, earrings and a gold chain necklace. When she was done her Mother handed her a bundle of clothing. “Now put these on”
The item on top was a sports bra but underneath everything else appeared to belong to Chris. Boxers, T-shirt, sweat pants, and a pullover sweatshirt.
“Why?” Sloane whimpered
“You’ll see. Come downstairs when you’re fully dressed” She gathered up all of Sloane’s belongings and left
*****
Sloane meekly walked downstairs and entered the kitchen. Her spirt had been all but crushed. The two Mothers were sitting at the table engaged in a hushed conversation.
Lauren pointed to an empty chair. “Take a seat. I have a dilemma. You need a suitable punishment for the party and your treatment of your classmates. If we cancel our vacation, your Father and I also get punished. We can’t leave you home alone and if we take you on the trip it will be as if you did nothing wrong.”
She paused to let this sink in. She waved at Cynthia “Ms. Jackson has graciously offered to let you stay her for the next week”
Sloane’s expression changed to one of surprise with a hint of distaste “I have to live here with Chris for the entire break?”
Lauren exchanged a glance with Cynthia “Not exactly”
She stood and walked to the base of the stairs “Are you ready sweety? We need to get going” A distant voice announced “Coming Mom”
Sloane spun in her chair at a clunking sound coming down the steps. Her mouth dropped in horror as Chris came strutting into the kitchen. He was wearing her sweater, leggings, and boots. Her handbag was hanging from his right shoulder. Chris adopted a relaxed pose and with a cheerful smile said
“Hey Chris. Hello Ms Jackson”
Lauren touched Chris on the shoulder “Thanks Cynthia but ‘Sloane’ and I do need to get going. We have a few errands to run”
Sloane sat there totally at a loss for words
