Chapter Text
Natalie opened her locker while rauckus laughing was nearby. Natalie looked up to see Pamela Harding and her crew laugh as they walk by. "Cherry airhead!"-Pamela called out to Natalie , referring to the candy airheads that nobody ate since elementary school. Plus it was ironic SHE called Natakue an airhead. Oh well, Pamela was even harder to understand than Karen and the Divateers. Pamela had the Smutateers. What Natalie didn't notice was she put gum in the back of my short, curly crimson hair that was half tied with a braid in the front. And Natalie didn't even notice!
While Natalie made her way to class to sit at the double table of Margo Pike, Clair Pike, the Divateers, Jake Kuhn, Lindsey Barrett, Matthew, Charlotte, Nick Pike, Matt, Becca, Charlotte, Linny, Jackie, David-Micheal, Lindsey Barret, Kerry Bruno, and Lucy Newton. Margo, Lindsey, Maria, and the Divateers were all Natalie's friends. So were Charolette, Becca, Haley & Vanessa who already graduated. Karen started the new generation of Babysitter's club at the mansion. Natalie looked down at the club notebook first page which listed the members in her curly handwriting:
President: Karen(everyone called her the mini Kristy), Hannie, and Nancy
Vice President: Kerry and Margo(they had access to the other side of town & were good leaders)
Secretary: Natalie and Lindsey
Treasurer: Louisa and Suzi
Junior officers: Clair, Emily Michelle, and Lucy
Alternate officers: David-Micheal, Linny, Nick, Jackie, Matt, Jake, Andrew, and Hunter(the guys, who joined as a prank one day but then decided to help out. Logan felt much better when he heard of this).
They all went to Stoney Brook Highschool. Karen, Andrew and Marai were at Stonybrook Day school but they transferred. Karen, Hannie, Nancy, Kerry, Margo, Nick(faternal Pike twins), Linny, Lindsey, David Micheal, Natalie, Ricky Torres, Bobbi, Kyle Tayor, Louisa, Suzi Pamela Harding, Leslie, Jannie, Max, Benson, and everyone in Ms Colemen's old class as a seniors in highschool. While Charlotte, Becca, Jeff, Vanessa, Haley, Shea, and Jay were graduated. While Buddy, Mariah, Archie, Brenda and Jamie are juniors. And Andrew, Lucy, Gabbie, Rosie, and Hunter were softmores. Emily Michelle, Brenda, Rob, and Jenny Prizizzo were Freshmen.
Natalie feel someone's hand in Natalie's hair and Natalie's hair being pulled.
Natalie turn around to see David-Micheal, and her face heats up. "Gum should be for under the table, don't Natalie think?" he asks. What? Gum? Natalie hand flys to the back of Natalie hair to feel some stickiness. Natalie hand brushes David-Micheal's which heats her face up more.
Natalie look at him, her face on fire. David-Micheal looks down at Natalie, because he's taller, with a concerned smirk. "I take it Natalie didn't sit under under the table below gum."
Natalie giggled and flusteredly replied, "No, Pamela was the last last one to walked by my locker before I found gum in my hair. She called me a Cherry Airhead."
David-Micheal nodded. "Yeah, Natalie definitely can put 2 and 2 together without gum." He also smirked. "Cherry Airhead? I haven't seen those since elementary school, just like Pamela's digs."
Natalie chuckle, sheepishly at the joke, enjoying hereself. Natalie was still too shocked David-Micheal was talking to Natalie. His good looks made Natalie 10 times self concious than normal.
David-Micheal smiled at Natalie, looking Natalie over. "Natalie hair should be fine, it was just a little gum."
"Yea," Natalie reply, "thanks."
David-Micheal smiles at Natalie. "No problem. Natalie you’re only suppose to have food in Natalie hair after a food fight." He winked at Natalie. and walked to the cafeteria.
Natalie heart beat was rapid as Natalie watched him go. Even though Natalie had gum in Natalie hair; this would be the highlight of Natalie day as Natalie see the back of David-Micheal's short, curly, chestnut brown hair.
Natalie go in the bathroom then wash Natalie hair with soap until the stickiness is gone. Natalie even cut a little bit of it which doesn't even make a difference except that Natalie had bangs now.
Natalie walk into the cafeteria to Natalie table. David-Micheal passes by Natalie . "Nice new hair style," he winks at Natalie. Natalie heart beat speeds up and Natalie face heats.
"I heard Pamela stuck gum in Natalie hair," Margo says, leaning over. "We can get back at her."
Natalie look at Margo. The boys, were talking among themselves but listening to the conversation.
