Lauren and Taylor were sitting in his room the next day flipping through channels. They got to MTV and
Marilyn Manson was on.
"The beautiful people, the beautiful people, it's all relitive to the size of your
steeple..." he sang.
"Wow." Lauren said aloud. "I like this. Who is it Tay?"
"Marilyn Manson. He's pretty cool."
"Yeah. I loove this."
"Hate every other hater thats in your way....."
That was the end of Lauren and Taylor being normal. From this point on it was uphill in fun for
for them, but downhill for everyone else.
"Tay, let's go shopping. ok?"
"Ok. Where to?"
"Sam Goody. I need to buy some new shirts."
"Cool. Me too."
"Ike, can you drive us to the mall?" Lauren asked him.
"Sure. I have to go pick up Deena on the way back home though."
"Ok."
They got in the car and drove to the mall. The three teens walked into Sam Goody and
Ike went to look at Guitar Tabs. Lauren and Tay ran right to the T-shirts.
"Ooooh! Look at this one." Lauren said pointing to a Marilyn Manson shirt.
"What does it say?" He asked her.
"This is your world in which we grow, and we will grow to hate you."
"Get it. I'll get it too. What about this one?"
"What one?"
"American by Birth, AntiChrist by choice"
"Cool! Let's just get these... four and we'll come back later. I wanna see if they
have 'AntiChrist Superstar' yet." (a Marilyn Manson cd)
"THEY HAVE IT TAY! THEY HAVE IT!" She screeched. She got a few odd looks. Both of them
did. Either from the black lipstick and eyeliner they were both wearing, and the
matching Marilyn Manson T-shirts that read 'I wasn't born with enough middle fingers'
or just the loud voice she had. Lauren had rings on ALL of her fingers, with either
skulls, spiders, eye balls or skeletons on them. She was also wearing a spiky collar,
four necklaces, including the Marilyn Manson one Tay had bought her. Her nails
were black and her boots were black. She glanced over at her 'freaky' boyfriend.
He was wearing the same Marilyn Manson T-shirt with black baggy pants, he had a spiky
collar on too, only his spikes were sharper. He was wearing 7 necklaces that varied
from: Pentagrams, to pot leaves to Marilyn Manson symbols to skull heads. He had
both of his pinky finger nails painted black and his 20 eyelit docs were black too. He
replied to Lauren by screaming "Get it! Get it!"
As they walked out of the store with three bags, draining it of Marilyn Manson, they
passed the hair salon. "Do one head, get one free" They read in the window.
"Tay! Hair! Black! Today! Now! I have money!"
They zoomed into the store and came out an hour later, both with JET BLACK hair. They
were in heaven. Or was it Hell?
