@davisgools

Stacey hated to say that she recognized the car that pulled up in her driveway, but it would have been hard to ignore the way her blood had begun to boil beneath her skin. Pulsing, and screeching, and punishing her heart as angry heat rose through her like a wave. Davis freakin’ Goolsby was on her property. He had come to drop off set decorations. What the actual fuck. 

She didn’t have a moment to think of changing out of her McKinley branded athletic shorts, or to toss on a pair of shoes - there was barely even a moment to breathe - but bare feet and all went charging down the driveway. A tiny package of rage charged up enough to power the whole of Lima if she just screamed loud enough. “I’d ask who in their right freakin’ mind thought it was okay to give you my address, but I’d rather just stick to why the hell you thought it would be okay to come anywhere near my home. Like, I already knew you were a demon, but ‘stalker’ too? What else are you going to add to the list, Gooby? Ross and Rachel shipper?”

Stacey’s tone was as sharp as a razor and her stance only punctuated her words. Green eyes glaring up at Davis - nose scrunched - as she invaded his personal space without a single freakin’ thought. He didn’t scare her - demon or not - and Stacey was determined to show it. She was sure he might take his true nightmarish form or something if she didn’t. “Don’t you know anything about enemy lines? Because you’re totally crossing them.”

Stacey would be the last person to admit it, but she had been, like, majorly struggling since Cheerios on Ice. Sure, the performance had gone off without a noticeable hitch, and once again, the Cheerios looked like freakin’ snow angels. But after double doses of adderall, and extended workouts - the extensive time struggling her way through ankle breaking routines on the ice - all to impress Coach Tanaka? Well, Stacey only found herself completely exhausted by the end of it. Skipping school so wasn’t a big deal; her Daddies’ hadn’t even hesitated when she told them she was going to sleep through the morning that day. Homework, on the other hand, was something that had to be dealt with. 

She had almost considered asking Sterling to collect it - the girl would have done it in a heartbeat - but Stacey had never been one to pass up an opportunity. And an opportunity to get Rocky up to her bedroom? Like, come on. She was tired, but she wasn’t that tired. 

It was late enough that the street lights had flickered on, their light casting their glare into the windows of the Porter home, and like clockwork Stacey found herself padding down the stairs to the sound of knocking. She almost wondered if she should have done a little more dressing to impress as she shivered all the way in her old sleep shorts and a too-big tee shirt; black rimmed glasses balanced on her nose. It was nearly unrecognizable compared to her usual state of being, but Stacey figured it was too late now to change. Whatever. She would have dared Rocky not to find her just as hot as she was in her Cheerios uniform. 

“Well, well, well! I was almost expecting to be grossed out, but I think you’re actually hotter when you’re all sweaty and tired. Congrats, Remington, you’ve officially surprised me once again.” Stacey’s eyes dragged over his frame; her lips quirked up in a smirk; hip and bare thigh going to lean against the doorframe as she made his space her own. She couldn’t help herself but play games - but she never really could. So, she just reached out, tugging against the shirt fabric that hung at his waist with a dainty little touch. Not daring to reach for the homework clutched in his hand just yet - not before she was sure he wasn’t going to just hand it to her and leave. 

“I have a bathtub upstairs, you know? Come use it.” Stacey winked, turning on her heel with a flick of her hips - just daring Rocky to follow into the empty house. “I mean…” Stacey looked over her shoulder, a single eyebrow quirked in his direction. Fuckin’ lightening in a bottle if it ever existed.  “Unless you had better plans tonight.”

@zoepuckerman​

“You could at least, like, pretend to be listening, you know? There are important matters at stake here, Sterling. Life and death!” Okay, so maybe not exactly life and death, but toning down on the dramatics had never quite been in Stacey’s wheelhouse. There were a million things on her freakin’ mind - matters of Rocky to be discussed if Stacey could get it out of her - and she was dying to get them all out into the open. She had promised the other a movie night, though; a night of hanging out without Stacey’s scheming… Sterling should have known she was doomed the moment she put on the same Macauley Culkin movie Stacey had seen a thousand times, though, and for that the Cheerio wasn’t sure she could be blamed. “I don’t know how you’re so, like, enthralled anyway. I mean, how many times am I going to have to hold your hand when Thomas dies before ‘My Girl’ finally gets shoved onto the ‘break-ups, make-ups, and sad days only’ list? This needs to start being a special circumstance option, like, stat.” 

“Come on. Ivy is totally being seduced by a demon, and as much as you don’t want to talk about Remington, I need your freakin’ opinion before I drive myself insane. Movies can wait!”

ROCKY: be there in twenty princess

ROCKY: i guess that's the whole point right? like...she might cut you but it's about doing the 'right' thing or whatever idfk

ROCKY: but also there's power in numbers or some shit. tanaka is psycho but she's not gonna cut her whole squad if u all show up and go against her word or w/e

ROCKY: i thought u were close with ivy and zoe and shit. seems like some of them like u

STACEY: i'll order pizza

STACEY: sounds like you've been talking to the squad, hm? idk, it's easy to say that when you're not risking anything. i don't think my dad would want me putting my spot on the team in any jeopardy. daddy would probably say to stand up for what's right. idk.

STACEY: of course i'm close with ivy. idk if zoe would say we're close, but she's basically a walking angel. still.

STACEY: ugh, whatever. who even cares? it's not like it's some world changing protest, like, what is one less JV cheerio going to change? i'm making shirts, i'm spreading the word. am i really supposed to feel like a bad person for feeling iffy on sitting???

STACEY: sorry, you def don't have to answer that

STACEY: i'm just, like, so done with the whole sit-in morality check thing

KENNY: I was joking, mostly. Not that church would be a bad idea for you at this point.

KENNY: The more times you refuse to tell me where the tat is the worse of a place I imagine it being.

STACEY: Wow, are you calling me a demon? Harsh words, McCarthy. Anyway, pass. Church is like, so deliriously boring. I would basically rather throw myself into the Atlantic ocean??

STACEY: Hmm, then maybe we'll land somewhere around the right spot?

STACEY: What does it matter, Kendall? It's in a place people can't see it for a reason 🙃

ROCKY: alright fuck it i'll wear one. when can i get it?

ROCKY: honestly i think it's kind of fucking stupid but

ROCKY: i guess what happened to lemon and zizes is pretty fucked up or whatever

ROCKY: idk yet

STACEY: come over and get it tonight. my dads aren't home, and my brothers are being rats in the basement. basically a house to myself.

STACEY: look, i'm not, like, saying it isn't fucked up. if someone leaked MY nudes, i would literally end them - and if it got me kicked off the cheerios? like, you don't even know the atrocities i would commit.

STACEY: but idk, how am i supposed to know tanaka isn't going to cut me just like she cut ruby?

[...]

STACEY: it's not like any of them would do something like this for me. i don't even think any of them, like, actually like me. which is fine, whatever. but is it worth giving up my skirt? idk.

[staceyporter]

does it ever get exhausting chasing after boys that only want you for sex?

“And what exactly do you think it is I want them for? Puh-lease. I’m not chasing anybody, I’m simply taking advantage of the crowd. What else is there to do in boring old Lima? At least boys are interesting. Idiots, but like, totes interesting, nonetheless.”

KENNY: i don't tell your brothers EVERYTHING

KENNY: maybe a grounding is what your ass needs. you shouldn't be getting tattoos at your age.

KENNY: but i'm no fucking snitch anyways so i'm not gonna go crying to your daddies about it

KENNY: speaking of your ass, is that where you got it or is the location still fucking classified??

STACEY: ugh, you tell them enough.

STACEY: god, could you sound more like a grandpa? it's just a freakin tattoo. what else are we supposed to do in stupid lima???????

STACEY: and no. it's not on my ass.
