Chapter 4 ❣︎︎ Squares!!

I yawn and rose as I woke at my new place. Baldwin really hooked me up good. I went then got myself dressed. I did my make up and brushed my teeth. I had taken a shower the night before.

I liked to take a long hot bath at night. It relaxed me a lot. Right now, I was feeling let down. I was feeling stress. I wanted to be a Drape. I was ripped of my rights to be a Drape. I never fit in anywhere in my life. I never would. I was a no one.

I sigh as I get my now warm diet coke, I bought the night before. I grab my packs of smokes and head outside. It was now noon. I slept in. Perks of being an adult. Getting up when you pleased.

I would have to find a job soon. Baldwin would not want a free loader around here. I light my cigg and puff away. Drawing in the cool sweetness into my mouth and shooting it back out again.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Squares, do not smoke. Get rid of that Ronnie" Baldwin orders me. He grabs my cigg from between my lips. Then snuffs it out on the ground with his foot. "We also do not go parading around in outfits like that one" he warns me.

"This is all I have to wear" I pout.

"I figured you would say that. Here I brought you something" he says. He hands me a dry-cleaned outfit.

I crinkle my nose at a freshly pressed pastel purple dress. "This thing?" I scoff.

"That thing. Go! Go change we have a lot of work to do" he orders to me.

I do as I am told. As I head up to my new place to get dressed, I hear voiced. Baldwins cronies were now here. They always were here. At his side. Losers. I quickly get dressed.

Added less make up. I was sure he would want me to look that way. And let my hair up in a ponytail. I did not look half bad. I smile at myself in the mirror. I looked cute. I wondered what Cry Baby would think of the new Veronica. He would hate it. I smile more thinking of that.

I head back down the stairs.

♡♪♬♪♡

Baldwin whistles when he sees me. "What a beautiful young lady" he praises me.

His cronies agree.

Baldwin called these guys his "Wiffles" whatever the hell that meant. I feel their beady little eyes checking my figure out. It creeped me out a little bit. But also pleased me at the same time.

Now I was a Square. Maybe I could fit in with these guys. What would they want me to do to Cry Baby? To my sister? Could I really go through with harming my sister?

"I better go get a new job. I can't mooch off you Baldwin. Thanks for the dress" I say as I go to leave. He grabs my arm to stop me.

"Not so fast. You do not need a job if you are a Square. I have one for you" he offers.

"Oh yeah? What is that?" I wonder.

"I made sure with my father first. We are hiring in my band. We need a female back up singer. Want in?" he offers.

"A singer? Really? I would love that. Cry Baby never let me sing" I gratefully accept.

We shake on the deal. And Baldwin smiles.

"We play at Allison's grandmother's big events during the weekdays. Weekends we got a few gigs in town. One at the new amusement park in town" he brags about himself.

"Wow how did you get that gig?" I wonder.

"Dad knows people" he says with a shrug.

"What is in it for you?" I challenge. "Why all this help?"

I had to ask....

♡♪♬♪♡

"We needed a girl in the band. You are perfect. Seeing as Allison left long ago" he mutters. "I am not hiring my exgirlfriend Lenora. She is nuts. She also is in the mental ward now" he chuckles as he shakes his head.

"I heard about her. She faked getting preggers by Cry Baby" I laugh. "you hooked up with her?" I snicker.

"Not one of my finer moments. I was hurting. Allison had broken my heart" he tells me his side. "I was lashing out. And I was lonely was all"

"I see" I say with a nod. Lenora. Gross.

She was so desperate and needy.

"Why do you really want me? To get back at Cry Baby, right?" I ask them. I knew their game.

He gasps. "Well...." He stammers.

"I want to get back at him to. Will you help me?" I demand to know.

"I knew this was a perfect match" he says as he grins over at me. He drapes an arm around my shoulder.

"The Drapes play every weekend. Thursdays the band practices" I explain.

"What time do they do that?" asks Baldwin.

"How about they can't practice if their instruments suddenly disappear before the show?" I question with an evil gleam in my eye. "then you guys will be the only band in town who can perform. I know they can't afford new instruments most of the stuff was stolen or dug from the trash" I chuckle.

They also really depended on the turn out there at Turkey Point. That was how they made their money.

It was serving Cry Baby right for kicking me out of the Drapes!

"You are brilliant Ronnie!" praises Baldwin. "I could not have come up with a better plan myself" he laughs. He was so excited he leans in and kisses me on the cheek.

I blush then he does to and pulls back. The Wiffles praise me to.

"Thursday night we sneak up to Turkey Point before they practice. And Cry Baby will soon have something big to cry about" hoots Baldwin with laughter.

We slap each other a high five.

Later on, I was in town to get a few things. I had to get a break from Baldwin for a bit. I was enjoying my life at the moment. Once Cry Baby saw what I was capable of then he would be begging for me to come back.

I could bring the instruments back. And then save the day. And be welcomed back as a Drape. I smile thinking of my new plan. I could frame Baldwin and he could go to jail for stealing the instruments.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Veronica?" I hear someone say behind me.

I turn around.

"Cry Baby, I mean Wade!" I breath out.

"They have you all decked out like a Square already" he grumbles not looking pleased.

"My new look. I love it" I lie. "Violet suits me"

"You always look pretty Ronnie" he says softly. "No matter what you wear" he tells me.

I soften a bit hearing that.

I smile. "Thanks Wade" I say.

"What are you doing Ronnie? Mona is a mess. She is so worried about you. Come home" he orders to me. "We miss you"

"Not until you say I can be a Drape" I order back.

We glare at one another.

"No" he answers me.

"Then no I am staying. I like being a Square. They accept me" I say.

"They are using you to get to me Ronnie" he snaps. "open your eyes!"

"I know that. And I do not care!" I snap back. "I am not stupid Wade"

Suddenly to my surprise we glare at one another not saying another word. He yanks me in his arms.

"Listen to me Ronnie. Baldwin is dangerous! His family is to" he warns me. "let me take you home" he begs me. "before something bad happens to you" he begs again.

♡♪♬♪♡

Then in the blink of an eye his lips land on mine. Passion is there. His lips press hard into mine. I could feel the heat between us.

How much he cared. My head spins as I return each kiss. Why was he kissing me? To confuse me? To get me to come home?

"Veronica? Is everything alright?" a Wiffles asks me suddenly. "Baldwin was worried about you"

I pull away from the heated kiss. Cry Baby glares at the Wiffles.

"He was just leaving. Goodbye Cry Baby" I snap at Cry Baby.

I let the Wiffles lead me away from Wade. When I glanced back, he was still staring at me. My lips tingled from that kiss.

What did this all mean? Was I finally getting to him? My plan was working wasn't it? I smirk inside knowing that it was. I was wearing down Cry Baby Walker. He was going to be mine before this all was done with.
