“Well then, who would that be?” She replied, being a smart ass
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe the President of the United States calling me in to rescue some pretty senators daughter who had been kidnapped by a tribe of natives in Afica?”
“Ha, In your dreams!” She laughed
“Whats up Kelsy, something the matter?” He asked
“Maybe, its my gut, you know how it is when I get gut feelings, John. I am worried that Derek might do something stupid at prom.”
He could tell that she was very concerned
“What do you think he would do? I am sure by know you had told him that you didn’t want to give it up to him” John told her, he knew that when she got a gut feeling, it was usually right.
“I over heard some of his friends when Shelby and I were at McDonald’s. Apparently from what I heard, they were all going to get hotel rooms and take their dates there, and when they mentioned Derek’s name, I knew something was up. I have a feeling me might try to force me into having sex with him”
“I would not put it passed him, I don’t know if you know this or not, but Varsity Jock’s think they can get everything and anything they wanted” He told her.
“I hope I am wrong, but you know how I am when I get these feelings. Do you think I should tell him I changed my mind and that I no longer want to go with him? She asked him
“That is up to you, Kelsy, You are one of the most attractive girls in school. You going with him to prom will only help you up the social ladder in school, besides, who else would you want to go, surely not some geek like me!”
There was a slight pause before she responded to that comment
“You are right John, it does help me. But could you do me a big favor? Would you go to the hotel as well? I know you and your friends will want to go watch some trains after you leave the dance, but I really might need you there if he really is going to do what they are planning”
“You don’t have to ask me twice, you know that I would do anything for you.” He told her
“Thanks John, you are the best, I have to go now, I have to finish studying for this history test we are having tomorrow, Tell you mom I said hi” she said
“No problem Kelsy. Hope you do well on your test, See you tomorrow”
He hung up the phone and saved his work. He couldn’t concentrate anymore because of what she told him. He had mixed emotions, ranging from happiness that she wanted him there to rescue her, to rage, knowing that Derek would do something as stupid as trying to force her into giving up her virginity.
The next day at school, he sat down to have lunch with Scott and Jason. He told them what Kelsy had said last night and the two of them also became upset. After all, both Emily and Shelby were also going with some of the jocks.
“When you talk to Kelsy again, tell her that we will be there too. Screw the trains, they will always be there, I would rather help someone that needs it.” Jason said, with a hint of anger in his voice
“I am right there with you. Jason, you already have a car, but I will ask my dad if I can borrow his car as well so we can all make a fast getaway in separate directions in case they chase the girls when they try to flee.” Jason said. He was clearly upset as well
“Right, I will tell Kelsy this, we will be there for them. Even if it does not lead to anything, at least we will know that we helped them out when they really needed it.
John went through the rest of the day distracted. He could not think, all he could think about was how to teach those guys a lesson. It pissed him off to no end that they thought of girls as a commodity, and not as a human. They use them for their pussy, then they get tossed away like throwing a cigarette butt out the car window when all the tobacco has burnt up.
That evening after dinner, he called Kelsy. He told her what both Jason and Scott had said. She knew that they both really liked Emily and Shelby. She agreed to the plan. The three of them would be waiting in the parking lot of the hotel. If the girls do not come out by midnight, we were free to leave, but not one minute before. She thanked him again, and that she really appreciated what he was doing for her and her friends.
“If you do end up saving us, I will make sure that you get the proper thank you. I think I just might treat you to a steak” She told him.
“Trying to get to my heart with a Rib eye, huh?” John chuckled
“You already have a place in my heart, as one of my best friends” she replied.
This made John blush. Just hearing the part the he had a place in her heart meant the world to him. She already had a place in his heart, but the place she occupied has been unanswered for the longest time now.
The weeks passed by, and John, Scott and Jason we busy making final plans for the get away’s in case they had to rescue the girls when they run out of the hotel. It was agreed that Scott would take Shelby. He would head south on US 67 and hit Interstate 44 east towards downtown St. Louis and if he was being followed, would us his knowledge of the roads in Illinois to get away from him, namely the roads that go into the rail yards.
Jason would also head south, but instead of heading towards downtown St. Louis, he would get onto I-44 west and then get onto Interstate 270. If he was followed, he would get off I-270 onto Page and head west into St. Charles county. If he losses them by then, we would follow the road until it turned in MO-94 and take that back to I-64 east back to Kirkwood.
As for John. He had the most difficult route, but his dad agreed to let him use his new Dodge Charger for the night. He would head north on US-67, take that to Interstate 64 then head east towards downtown. If he was being chased after, He would have to take I-64 all the way into Illinois and almost to Edwardsville before he could get off. Luckily for him, he had a friend who was a deputy for the Illinois State Highway Patrol. His name was Aaron, and he would be on duty that night. He told him that if he was being chased, to call him when they crossed into Illinois, give a description of the car that was chasing them and he would be waiting to pull over the chasing car.
With the final plans in place. The three of them went to go get their suits for prom. John had an all white suit that looked like it was from the late 80’s. Scott got a grey suit with a navy blue vest. He told his friends the colors reminded him of the Civil War. Only Scott could do something like that. Jason on the other hand got a full Tux. Both John and Scott wondered why the hell he would do such a thing. John had to admit, even though the two of them were his best friends, they were both pretty weird, even though he was weird himself
The night of prom arrived. John and the boys arrived about 30 minutes into the event. They walked in and he kept an eye out for the Kelsy and the girls. About 5 minutes later, John spotted Kelsy. She was dancing with Derek, and it looked like she was not really having a great time. He kept putting his hand on her ass and she kept pushing it away. He knew right then and there that he would have to be rescuing her later. He took his phone out and put Aaron’s number on speed dial, just in case.
