Do you all remember the episode from Hey Arnold when Curly snapped and he raged out with the kickball's? Robbie will hear that same noise, but how he goes about raging is far, far worse. The plot is a familiar one I like to use, with a time skip. Enjoy reading this story and leave a review!
Senior Year-
He finally got that confidence because, well, this was his final opportunity to say something to her before they were off to college or whatever opportunities the acting world presented them. Robbie Shapiro had the sweaty palms, which no amount of drying off could cure. He was apart of the group; however, he felt as though they ignored and more alarming was how a sense of belonging was non-existent. Robbie was usually invited to hangouts, either at Tori's house or a fun night at the Gorilla Club.
"One last chance," the described 'awkward young man' told himself. Robbie must have rehearsed how he was to confess hundreds of times. Wanting the public speaking to be perfect, he even goes as far as to read up on key speaking principles from Aristotle and Socrates.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Robbie was ready to say the words… the setting could not have been better laid out, even if the gods had something to do with it. There was Jade West sitting all by her lonesome, in the center table poking at the burrito with that spoon, fork hybrid.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
"Hi Jade!" Robbie greeted her with his best upbeat voice, with Jade replying with a simple eh.
"Something wrong?"
"No, nothing…" When women let sentences trail like that, something must be up. Robbie sat down across from Jade and asked her if she was sure that nothing was wrong.
"Dude, I already told you that nothing is wrong. By the way, why are you dressed so sharp? The Prom was weeks ago,"
"You know how men are Jade; we love to look our best at all times… and this was the only clean clothing I had left." I suppose, Jade thought as she had to admit to herself that Robbie was looking fresh with nary a wrinkle in his clothing.
"I-I wanted to tell you something." Robbie wasted no time with anymore pleasantries because he had something to say. Jade immediately caught the slight stutter at the beginning, so her ears perked up and her posture was straightened so she could hear what Robbie had to say.
"I'm all ears."
"This is our final y-year as you know… its been so much fun being friends with everyone, hasn't it?"
"Certainly, it has been fun teasing Tori every chance that I get."
"Right… the group has had their moments of happiness and sadness."
"True… where are you going with this Robbie?" Robbie was kicking himself because he hated for not going about what he had intended. Too many pleasantries nearly derailed the moment that was handed to him for saying what he had to say.
"I know you were with Beck and then ended things with him… that really got to me,"
"Uh-huh,"
"The way you carry yourself and live your life… you're quite the catch! What I'm trying to say Jade is that I've been madly in love with you ever since I first laid on you. I know it sounds cheesy to you, but these are feelings that my heart echoes. I-It would truly make me happy if you felt the same way." Robbie then closed his eyes, hoping that she'll requite the feelings.
"Wow, um, I don't know what to say Robbie. That was sweet as hell and I did NOT expect such sweet words to come from you."
"I hate that I waited this long to tell you, but you were with someone and getting over a breakup. It would not have been right to court you during those times."
"I know, and I appreciate you not saying anything during those times."
Hope is a waking dream.
What's taking so long for her to respond to the confession, Robbie thought? A kiss on the lips or something verbal would send the boy to cloud ten. Jade noticed that Robbie had his eyes closed and was puckering his lips for a kiss that would never come. Say something to make him go away, Jade said.
"I got back together with Beck!"
Crack
"…Eh?"
"Yeah, Beck and I had a, um, heart to heart conversation. He apologized to me for not making more of an effort to keep me happy, and I apologized to him for being such a bitch. We made up and are working on things. So we're kind of together again, a couple."
Fissure
"So… you're back together with him? I thought that,"
"You thought wrong, Robbie. I'm sorry, but I could never see myself with you as nothing more than friends." Robbie understood and thanked Jade for his time.
"… and to think that we graduate in two days…"
"I know, right? We've all come a long way…" Robbie had sped off, Jade swearing she could've heard him screaming something.
Crushed beyond belief, how to face everyone with graduation looming!
I anticipate this story being 3-4 chapters. It could be longer, depending on what I think up. Not too much was given away this opening chapter, but it'll be more shocking starting with the next chapter.
