My Life As A Teenage Robot Porn Story: Luck of the Devil Chapter Four
When we entered the house, we were immediately swamped. Felicia was pried away by a gaggle of giggling girls and Sheldon was pulled away by Don Prima.
Um.. What? Shouldnt he be looking for me?
I watched as the two went up a winding staircase. Dons arm was snaked around Sheldons shoulders and Sheldon was grinning from ear to ear. That should be me he was trying to sneak into the bedroom! Now, everything about this week had been confusing but this really took the cake. I looked around for Felicia. She was in the middle of a circle of unfamiliar girls. She glanced up at me and waved me over. Proudly, I made my way to the circle.
“Hi, everyone.”
“Hey, um..” seemed to be the response most people gave before Felicia spoke up.
“Hey, Jenny! We were just talking about you. Cool shoes.”
I wear them every day. But of course I didnt say that. I just giggled. It seemed like the thing to do. I had to appear unintelligent to appear cool.
“So, Jenny.. You know anything about computers?”
“Computers? Well.. duh. Why do you ask?”
“Just making conversation.”
One of the blonde girls nodded.
“Were just trying to figure out what you like to do.”
I sighed. They thought I was a computer geek!
“Well no, I dont really like computers that much. I mean except AOL and everything!” I grinned. I didnt really have AOL. I dont need it. I have my own messaging system.
“Oh.. but you know about them?”
I nodded.
Felicia grabbed my hand.
“Hey! I just got the coolest idea! Come with me!”
She dragged me upstairs babbling enthusiastically about this cool thing she found on Don Primas computer.
Wait. What had she been doing at Don Primas house?! First Sheldon, now Felicia! Don is in love with everyone but me! I really just want to go home.
When we reached the top of the stairs a long narrow corridor stretched on forever. She led me into the first room on the right. There was a king sized black bed off to one corner and lava lamps everywhere. The most expensive computer Id ever seen was full front and center on the left wall in a giant black computer desk. Felicia sat in the plush desk chair and began clicking away on Dons High-speed Internet.
“Wow.. youre, uh.. really familiar with his computer, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh.. okay.”
She stopped and pulled away from the computer. The header read Tremorton High Database and there were four selections underneath in blue. Directory, Curriculum, PTA, and finally.. Grades.
“Check it out!” She screeched as she clicked the Grades button.
A login name and password box popped up. About this time, Don Prima and his new little buddy, Sheldon, made their entrance.
“Don and I were kind of hoping you could break the code with a little help from Sheldon. And.. maybe you could change all of our grades! You know, just for fun? As a little prank!”
I stared at her, and I looked over at Sheldon who was now grinning like an idiot with drool dripping from his chin. I guess he was still in love with Felicia.
“Well, well just leave you two alone. Thanks, Jen!”
Felicia stood up and on her way to the door, she slid her puny little arm through Dons. I felt my temperature rising. That rat!!
I looked at Sheldon who was still drooling.
“Wipe that look of your face! Cant you see whats going on here? They used us!!”
He nodded dumbly.
“Why are you still grinning like that? Felicia used you. She never liked you. She just wants you to give her straight As. Stop being delusional.”
“Felicia? Of course she never liked me.”
He gave a look of disgust at the thought. My mind did a double take. This was too much. I was going to explode. I felt so stupid.
“Well.. if Felicia didnt trick you by pretending to like you.. why did you go along with this?”
He looked down at the reflection in his shiny black dress shoes.
“Felicia and Don promised me that theyd get you to like me. They told me all I had to do is keep ignoring you.. and then theyd set us up alone together at the party so you could confess your love to me. I guess that was all just wishful thinking, huh? But it really was worth a try.”
I felt horrible. Not only had I been used, but Id been used as bait too. I sat down in the computer chair with my head in my hands.
“Come on, Jenny. Lets change their grades.”
“What?! Sheldon? Are you nuts?!”
He smiled innocently. His huge black eyes soaking up the eerie glow of the computer monitor.
“I never said wed change them to As.”
A very easy hacking job and twenty minutes later, everyone at that party had their new grades posted to Tremorton High Schools database.
Sheldon and I sweetly bid the party crowd adieu and insisted we run along home because eight thirty was so close to our bed times. I heard the room bust into laughter as we shut the door behind us.. but little did they know that he who lasts last wins!
I looked at Sheldon with a sly grin.
“If those grades arent brought up by the end of the Trimester, theyll all find themselves with the same teachers next year.”
We had a good laugh as we walked down the huge circular drive to the street. The waxing moon flooded the city with a pale blue light. I glanced up at it, and as I stared Sheldon grabbed my hand, catching me off guard.
His hand was warm..
“Jenny. Im sorry I ignored you this week. I guess I really just thought that Felicias theory was worth trying. I see now that I should never try to win your affections with trickery. I want you to know how much I care about you.”
He bent down and kissed my hand. When he arose, he let my hand slide back to my side and then he started off down the sidewalk silently, without looking back.
I was shocked. Sheldon has never done anything so smooth. Not without tripping, stuttering, spitting or dripping with sweat. But then, what a perfect way to end the strangest week of my entire life.
