Chereads / TINGLES & TANGO / Chapter 5 - BARBIE THINGS

Chapter 5 - BARBIE THINGS

Keysha and her friends in-class yawned, their history teacher Mr. Goldberg was just teaching the class about the French revolution in which the members of the french society during 1847 had then divided themselves into the classes of bourgeois and proletariat. In which the state leaned more on capitalism as means and practice of means of production, at the mention of the definition of bourgeoisie everybody immediately looked towards Gina's seat and she took a light bow as everyone cheered that Mr. Goldberg interrupted the cheers, asking for absolute silence. 

The lecture was getting boring already until he got to the proletarian revolution in which the class of people who belonged to that class used violence, and carried out coups in which the working class attempts to overthrow the bourgeoisie he pointed out proletarian revolution was inspired by socialist, communist and anarchist like himself that point the bell went off half the class cheered and half members of the class groaned they were enjoying today's class. 

The barbies were not focused they want to carry out their recruitment, they quickly darted to Regina Reinfield's class she is the director of socials and the one in charge of hall renting, she just finished gathering her files and looked up and saw the girls smiling intently at her.

Hey miss Regina, she looked up at Keysha and responded hi-key how's your day going ?!, It's fine ma'am, and how're the students treating you. 

Those little monsters ugggh she groan, they are killing me, Gina and Keke exchanged glances and muffled their laugh.

Sorry, ma'am Keysha responded and kept a pitiful look, I think your work is tedious. But your friends think it's a hilarious look at them. Gina elbowed Keke and she retaliated by stomping her feet. 

Ouch, that hurts Keke, Gina complain.

Keysha cast them both sides glanced and mouthed to them shut up you two don't ruin this, please. 

Um miss Regina, how's the drama class going you know the Christmas party play presentation. 

Her face brighten up, oh yes she answered dreamily, it's epic, flawless it's about little girls who dance on stage calling for Santa to come home to them, for they need him to give them the gift that men can't ever afford.

Keysha raised a brow, and the gift is?

Love, my dear Keysha the gift of love, she spreads out her arms with her eyes closed. 

Keysha smirked and glanced back at her friends who are struggling hard not to laugh. 

Ummm yeah, miss Regina, I hate to interrupt your feelings I can see you are overwhelmed with emotions. But you see ma'am we the barbie club need the keys to the ballet classroom. 

She snapped back to reality, for what? Why do you girls need the keys to the ballet room? 

Miss Regina, uhm we need the key for ...

She looked back, and her friends gestured for her to continue. we need the keys to do an audition for drama! Oh yes, the drama of you girls rock, so what's the drama all about? Regina asked.

Oh, Barbie dreams! Gina answered 

Barbie dreams! Regina repeated slowly as If she was calculating, she beamed with a smile I like it. 

She tossed the key at Keysha and she grab it, hey girls when you are done locking the doors and giving the keys to the security, you know the Russian security man Dimitri, right? 

You can trust us, Keke winked and the girls closed the door while she continued to park her files. 

The girls walked through the long passage that leads the cafeteria, the doors were locked and the people have drastically reduced, many of them are at the park and the front yard dancing and cheering some fighting, then some making out. 

Keysha took the left turn and continued the journey with the other girls and they ran into Britanny and Trent standing together having a tete-a-tete, they are both standing leaning against the ballet ballroom door they moved aside for the girls to pass

Trent reached out and touched Keysha's arm listen we need to talk, Keysha eyed Britanny and she scowled at her.

I and the girls are having an audition to conduct it right now, Keysha spoke as she withdraw her hands.

Bye Trent, Britanny waved her hands and moved on without acknowledging other girls 

What a total bitch, Keke voiced out, Britanny without looking back raised her middle finger, Keke tried to move Gina held her back, hey relax she's not worth the trouble.

Trent looked shocked what is going on between the two of you ?, Nothing Keysha responded.

She just told me she's next in line to become the barbie queen and you ditched her.

Yeah so? How's it your business Trent we never hang out or spoke this week and you find it perfectly normal to speak to that sore loser

Don't be like that babe, Trent grimaced he was pained. 

You girls can go ahead I will join you later, 

Okie-Dokie just is fast girls are beginning to line up, the other girls left them.

Trent, we will speak about this when you come to my house.

Keysha,

Keysha, he moaned her name giving her a disarming look, please don't be like this, Trent am here stop calling me like my dad, what were you discussing with her, we were talking about you, look I think this week have been hectic following you parents divorce case and all.

I think this talk is getting too far, Trent, am fine, Britanny is a psychopath and power-loving freak that is what happened and we won't allow someone this toxic among us, the party is at eight sharp at Gina's place see ya.

Trent stood looking helplessly as Keysha walked inside the ballet room. 

*****************************************************

Keysha took a seat beside her friends who cast her worried looks, is everything alright Keysha?, Keke inquired.

Everything is fine, Keysha replied

are the girls for auditioning much?

Yeah, Gina replied 

They are all set for business with their recording sheet and pens, NEXT! they screamed. 

One girl on pink bum shots walked in swinging her hips way bigger than the girls. 

Keke your call, you've got this, my queen, Keysha gently passed the judgment role and ducked behind her recording paper. 

Keke cleared her throat.

Who are you? 

Excuse me who am I? Am Coco the stripper 

Keysha coughed, both girls glanced at her. 

Keke Xavier wanted to bust out laughing but gained her composure with just a smile. 

Sorry, what is a stripper doing in a high school?

I don't know you tell me, wait this is a high school?

Uh, duh!

So what do you do for a living, Danny? Gina asked

Oh I see male clients, She replied

Interesting where do you see them? Are you into consultancy or something? Keke asked

No, I just charge 10 bucks minimal that's it 

Wait you charge money to talk to boys? Gina asked with bewilderment 

No silly I sleep with them 

Keysha fell off her seat, quickly stands up wait how did you get into this audition?. 

One of my customers told me there is this Barbie doll thing going on in his school. 

What? Wait one of your clients is a student that's sort of a crime sleeping with underage 

No not when he comes begging me what am I supposed to do, ask for his ID?

Danny squints her eyes, packs up her bag, well why don't you blow me, she walked away 

Ewww Keysha responded.

the next girl walked in and starts dancing crazily, 

Halt wait hold on, what are you doing?

A caucasian girl with blonde hair walked in with an infectious smile, the three judges beamed at her. 

So what's your name? 

Chloe Anderson, am Canada and I  school here obviously, 

Yah! Gina exclaimed I know you, you are part of the cheerleader squad but why are you here won't you have a clash of time table? 

Keke nodded in agreement to Gina, she's right you know, your cheer leader's rehearsals or meeting might clash with ours not that we mind we could use a confident booster. 

Let me worry about that, and frankly, I thought being in the cheerleading squad might make a difference in my life but I was wrong am not prepared for it quite frankly I only needed friends of my own, am ready for anything really but the cheerleading things have two things I hate the most.

Which is? Keysha urged her on, 

One is boys and sex, they keep coming to the cheerleaders, the girls sniggered. 

She ignored them and continue secondly the rule that says we must not date any guy who's not popular, I don't like being controlled, I saw how you girls roll and frankly I like it. 

The girls look at themselves and nod.

It's a wrap, Chloe you are in Wellcome to Barbie dollhouse club, the party is at eight tonight be there 

The dress code is pink with a touch of yellow, anyhow you pick out your design it's pink and yellow. 

Chloe Anderson beamed with happiness and left. 

One more we are done, Keke yawned.

A mixed Asian girl with brunette hair walked in, very tall and intimidating with yoga pants and a sleeveless crop top. 

Keysha smirked and whispered I love her already she has slender and slightly broad shoulders her body frame is perfect, she had built abs and belly buttons the girls were awed by her presence

Lena walked close strutting like a cat and leaned close to them in Russia it means ya lyublyu tantsevat', and in Chinese, it means Wǒ ài tiàowǔ she purred. 

Keysha laughs nervously, are you a spy? 

No, am not a spy am just an international student sent to school here on a language scholarship. 

Wow, so what's your favorite sports, Gina asked

Oh, that would be taekwondo.

Keysha stood am one more test, Lena

Gina flinched looking intimidated.

The girls started laughing.
