Excerpt:
Prelude
It was pitch black outside as the
full moon glistened through the vinyl blinds that adorned Gary’s half window in
his bedroom. His room was nestled in the far corner of his parents’
craftsman-style house in Hempstead, Long Island. The scrawny seventeen-year-old
sat at his desk in an oversize, droopy wifebeater and Snoopy boxer shorts. His
hair was jet black and gelled down into a curly fade. His bedroom was dull, full
of computer science books and a series of coveted Stephen King thrillers—a
lonely boy’s surrogate girlfriend.
“Uh! Got to keep these passwords
straight,” Gary exclaimed out of frustration.
Gary slid open his desk drawer full
of colorful Post-it notes with various codes and passwords written all over
them. It seemed like nowadays you needed a password for everything. There was
even a code to get into his front door. He took out a new pad and wrote down a
username and password for his Tracebook account. A lamp slammed to the ground
behind him near his bedroom door. The bedroom went dark. Gary turned around to
see what had happened. He heard footsteps in the hallway. He slapped his hand
over his open mouth as if a fly might make its way inside while he trotted to
the door.
Senior quarterback Craig stood
outside Gary’s bedroom with his back against the wall like an operative from Mission
Impossible. Dressed in a tight, black mock-turtleneck muscle shirt, his
muscles bulged like those of a beefy club bouncer. Michelle crept up the
hallway to stand next to Craig, dangling a large roll of duct tape in her hand.
Craig ducked his head into the room to see what was going on. Michelle pressed
her nude lips together and batted her overdone smoky eyes. She ran across the
bedroom door to the opposite side. With her back to the wall, she took a look
inside the room. Gary had picked up the lamp and was reaching to turn it on. There
will only be light when I say there will be light, she thought to herself.
Michelle tugged on her black Kangol
hat to signal. Craig charged into the room, grabbed a hold of Gary, and forced
a pair of socks into his mouth. He pulled Gary’s hands behind his back like a
crooked cop from a gangster movie. Gary struggled like an insect caught in a
spider web. He wiggled every which way to no avail. Michelle stood at the open
bedroom door with a wicked half-smile playing across her photo-perfect,
dark-chocolate face. She batted her false eyelashes for a dramatic finish.
Gary jammed his heel into Craig’s
toes. Craig threw Gary down onto the floor, and Michelle slammed the roll of
tape against Craig’s chest.
“Tape his hands up,” Michelle
commanded.
Craig grabbed the tape. She walked
in to examine the room. “Lucy! Get in here, now!” Michelle called out.
The petite, mousy-brown-haired Lucy
walked into the room, looking as pale as a ghost. She had missed her last two
tanning sessions to complete photo excursions for Michelle. It didn’t bother
her, though. Lucy was just glad to have been the one asked to be in Michelle’s
exclusive presence. Lucy had a digital camera hanging from her wrist. The
camera hung down lower than the hemline on her denim miniskirt. Lucy snapped
several pictures of Gary as he squirmed on the floor. Michelle worked her way
over to Gary’s computer.
Craig came from behind and put his
hand in Michelle’s.
“This is sooo great. The yearbook
committee will love it,” Lucy whispered in a little girl’s voice. She always
thought it made her seem nicer and less threatening, the complete opposite of
Michelle.
“This better get me prom votes. I
don’t have time to waste,” Michelle said.
