the plan

Becky aimed the remote at the TV and hit "Power." The TV turned on. Just then the phone rang. Becky looked at the remote. There was a "pause" button, but she only had basic cable. She sighed and hit in anyway for no real reason. The TV did pause. Becky looked on in amazement. The TV really was paused. She then got up to go to the phone but noticed it was no longer ringing. She also noticed how eerily quiet it was. She looked around. Everything seemed not just still but too still. She happened to glance out the window at the highway visible a hundred yards away and saw an 18-wheeler stopped. She moved to the window for a better view. Nothing was moving. No wind through the tall grass between her sparse yard and the highway. No cars on the road, nothing. She looked around and noticed a dragonfly frozen six feet in the air. She looked down at the remote in her hand and hit "play."

The TV came back on, the dragon fly's wings beat, and the 18-wheeler sped away. The phone rang again. She answered it. It was mom checking up on her. After lying to her mom that her day went well and she had no homework, she hung up. She hit "pause" again and went outside. No clouds moved, the small boy from next door was jumping off his porch and paused in mid-air. Becky walked over to him and waved her hand in front of his face. He did not move. She moved her hand through his hair, and it stayed where she left it. She was now elated. Tomorrow would be such a great day.

She ran back home and restarted time. She scoured her home for supplies. She found a pair of sharp scissors, an black ink indelible clothing marker, and her sexiest black lace panties. Tomorrow she would get even.

After a sleepless night, Becky got to school early. She paced around waiting for Taylor and Hunter. She saw them pull up in Hunter's black Escalade. They headed to their group of friends hanging around in the common area between the gym and the school building. Taylor sat on a concrete table, and Hunter stood talking to his best buddy Jacob Riley.

Becky paused time. She went over. "Don't like MY makeup, eh bitch?" She pulled out the clothing marker and a kleenex. She wiped off Taylor's eyeshadown then colored her eyelids black. She did this to all four lids. Then she colored in Taylor's blonde eyelashes black and colored her lips black. Finally she did her cheeks black. That indelible ink would take several days to wash off.

She then took out her panties. She lifted Hunter and left him suspended. She took off his jeans and boxers and put her panties on him. She then left his jeans at his knees and put him back down.

She took out her scissors to cut up Taylor's clothes, but noticed Taylor's best friend Heidi Correlli was standing with her back to Taylor waving to a friend. Heidie had her long blonde hair tied in a pony tail. Becky hacked off the pony tail then moved Taylor's hand up and put the pony tail in it. She then put the scissors in Taylor's other hand.

She stepped back to admire her handywork.
