Title: Trouble
Author: hyperemmalawlz
Characters/Pairing: Steph/Liz (Doris, Joey and Spike feature a little. Simon is mentioned)
Summary: The new girl is driving Steph crazy.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 - Swearing and girlcrushing.
Notes: This idea took hold of me from seeing the two scenes these two share in 2.05. I mean, look at Steph's face! And listen to her voice! And everything! So, me being me, I had to write a fic... Also, never mind all the asterixes. This forum's swearing filter made it difficult, but I refuse to bowdlerise!

Stephanie Kaye charged up to the office desk, “Doris, I need to make an announcement,” she said to the secretary, who dismissed her with a wave of the hand.
Stephanie, can't you see I'm in the middle of something?” Doris asked, indicating to the right of who she was talking to... and then Steph saw her.
She was easily the most amazing looking girl Steph had ever seen. Maybe not the prettiest per se, but she had an intense, vicious look in her eye, accentuated by dark eye make-up and red lipstick; she was beautiful in a dangerous way. Her red and white tank tops covered up her torso, but revealed her pale, creamy skin on the arms and neck... Steph couldn't look away. She kept looking up and down at this new girl, and she had a very good figure. In Steph's opinion anyway. She simply could not look away from this girl, she just kept looking up and down, up and down... No wonder Doris was paying attention to her, not Steph.
Steph heard the door of the principal's office creak open, and tore her eyes away from Liz, embarrassed. What had she been doing? She saw Joey Jeremiah leave the principal's office, muttering under his breath.
"Joey!" Doris cried, commanding Steph's attention along with everyone else's. “This is Liz O'Rourke, she's a new student to the school. I was wondering if you would mind showing her around for a couple of days?”
Joey stared at Liz, obviously finding her appearance as captivating as Steph did... who found herself having pangs of anger as Joey smiled. “Joey Jeremiah, chairman of the welcoming committee. At your service,” he said, making Liz grin, which made Steph feel an overwhelming urge to reach out and strangle him. Why did Joey get to show Liz around? Steph had seen Liz first, hadn't she?
Joey and Liz left the room, and Steph stared after Liz... Urgh, thanks a fu*cking lot Joey! Steph a surprised even herself with her jealousy, but she couldn't help it. Her stomach was a trainwreck, and she help but stare at Liz... Sh*it.
“Ahem?” coughed Doris, turning Steph's attention back to why she came there in the first place. “Oh. Um, right. That announcement,” she spluttered out.
She made her announcement and went on her way to the bathroom to change into her school clothes... Simon was going to notice her. He was going to chose her over Alexa. It would happen. Stephanie Kaye gets what she wants, with the exception of a stable home life, the last boy she liked, the self confidence to act like herself and still think she would be liked... the list went on. Honestly, despite what you would say, Stephanie Kaye never really got what she wanted. But she was going to get Simon Dexter.
She entered the bathroom, where Spike was examining herself in the mirror. “Hey Spike,” she greeted. “What are you doing?”
“I'm getting fat,” Spike replied. Steph blinked at Spike a few times. She wasn't really showing yet, what was she talking about?
“I can't see it.” Steph said as she unbuttoned her dorky blouse, revealing the tight blue strapless top underneath.
“I can,” Spike said as Steph shrugged and pulled down her blue skirt, revealing her tight black pants. “I thought you weren't going to dress like that anymore?”
Steph smirked. “I'm going to make Simon notice me if it kills me,” this hyperbolic statement was interrupted by the opening a cubicle, and out walked Liz O'Rourke, immediately drawing all Steph's attention. Liz walked over to the sinks and briskly washed her hands, God, she was so... beautiful. Angry-looking, but so pretty it just made Steph...
Liz went to open the bathroom door, and Steph screamed at her in her head No! Stay! “I love your hair!” Steph said nonsensically. Anything to make Liz stay.
Steph looked at Liz some more. Why did Liz have to wear the dipping tank-tops, those jeans that showed half her leg? She was driving Steph crazy! At she certainly wasn't helping with all those rumours that she'd only moved her because her sexual behaviour had gotten too well known throughout her last school?
“You must tell me who does it,” Steph said. Yeah, that made sense. Those rumours must have come from somewhere, and you only had to look at the way she dressed... Steph raised a hand to about where her heart was while she said that, knowing she was drawing attention to just below, down to her chest, and... she wanted Liz looking there.
A look of anger crossed Liz's face, and for a second, Steph was terrified she had figured out what Steph was thinking about her. “At least I don't get changed in the bathroom so mommy doesn't find out about how I dress at school.”
Oh, no, she was only reacting to Steph's double entendre. “Oh, ha ha, good comeback,” was what Steph called out, but... it actually kind of hurt... She wanted Liz to like her, even if she was doing nothing to deserve it.
“The sleaze,” Steph bit*ched to Spike. “I bet she does it.”
Then Steph actually thought. Spike. The baby. Shane. Lucy's party. Stupid thing to say.
Crap.
“I, I mean, not like you,” she immediately tried to backtrack. “You made a mistake,” she said, not sure if she was actually making things any better. The look on Spike's face certainly wouldn't say so, she just kept looking angrier and angrier.
“Why is it that whenever anyone different shows up, people have to say things about them?” Spike asked and began to walk out of the bathroom.
“I heard something happened at her old school,” Steph said, not really wanting Spike to be mad at her, but with no idea how to fix things. So just voicing all those rumours was good enough. “To do with sex. That's why she moved here,” she said, and in her head, it all made sense. Liz was... she didn't know. “If you ask me, she dresses very... provocative,” Steph said as she pulled the tie from her hair. There must be a reason I'm losing my mind here. Steph was fully aware of how hypocritical she was being, but she didn't care. She was sick of Liz driving her crazy. Spike just shook her head and left the bathroom, making Steph frown.
Maybe Liz wasn't a tramp after all... Hell, maybe Liz was a lesbian? Maybe everyone in her old school had found out, so she had to move and save face? Yeah, that made sense. The lezzie was doing this on purpose, tormenting Steph, making her think things she shouldn't, making her wonder if she was...
Steph didn't finish that thought. Liz wasn't a slu*t. Liz wasn't a lesbian.
And Steph was in trouble.
