MCdonald’s: a Heathers text fic

What if Heathers was centered around Heather McNamara and her inner struggles? What if Dead Girl Walking didn’t happen the way it was supposed to?

Monday 1:33 pm

BigGulp: wait what’s happening? can someone tell me what’s happening

cornnuts removed the_green_queen from the conversation.

 

cornnuts: not in my christian chat room

BigGulp: i’m so confused

cornnuts: you should be. she is disgracing our group

 

lifebt added the_green_queen to the conversation.

 

BigGulp: there’s this creepy guy staring at me

lifebt: what class are you in

BigGulp: bio with ms fleming. we wont dissect stuff tho because she’s kind of a hippie. the dude has weird greasy black hair and a dark trenchcoat. anything could hide in those deep pockets

“Ms. Fleming?”

“What do you want?” the hippie said, taking one look at Heather McNamara’s sunny figure in the doorway and rolling her eyes. “Don’t you have somewhere to be?”

“I came to give this to Veronica,” she said, holding up her own water bottle. It was blue, and probably the only thing she owned that wasn’t yellow.

“Thanks for covering it up, Heather,” Veronica whispered, taking the bottle from McNamara. “The creepy guy is behind me.”

Heather walked past the guy nonchalantly, slipping a note between his statistics textbook and bio binder. She giggled to herself and walked a little quicker, out of the room and down the hallway to avoid Ms. Fleming’s suspicious gaze.

 

lifebt: mission complete, squad

cornnuts: everyone better be free for the remington party next weekend

BigGulp: idk with my schedule yet

the_green_queen: i’m going because i’m cooler than you losers

BigGulp: UH OH ABORT FLEMING IS ONTO ME

the_green_queen: (screaming_kermit.jpg)

cornnuts: hah what a nerd

 

“Veronica, you’re quiet. Could you read us question six, please?”

Rows of heads swiveled in Veronica’s direction, and she shivered. Tucking her phone discreetly under her thigh, she finally found where she was supposed to read.

“As Darwin proposed, biological evolution was linked to natural selection. He defined...”

 

cornnuts: veronica’s got to be tripping on shrooms now thinking that she can hide from fleming

lifebt: OH NO SHE DOES DRUGS??? THOSE ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. They make you all icky and weird

the_green_queen: but was she coloring in the lines

cornnuts: of course not, doofus. she sounded like a timid little mouse. what a lameass

lifebt: yeah. no shit
