Safe Inside Myself/Are All My Thoughts Of You
Zeke's girlfriend, Valerie (me!), loses her memory and falls in love with Casey when Zeke is visiting his parents in Cambodia. What happens when Zeke finds out she doesn't know him? What happens when she gets her mind back in bits and pieces?
Another thing. Val is English, is about 5'7", has hazel/brown eyes and black hair. Not anything like me but that's how she is- she just has my name. This is after the Faculty- for our purposes the Faculty happened right as school was starting. Thanx to LovinJoshHartnett for Zeke's last name!
Val/and/Zeke
Herrington High School.
It was a trashy, rundown building and Valerie looked at it with contempt.
This was where her boyfriend went to school ? It was horrible.
'Oh well. I promised.' she thought and walked toward the front door.
"Hey, sweetheart - whatcha doin'?" asked a football jock.
"Someone else." she said, walking past and leaving the jock staring after her.
Valerie walked straight up the stairs and through the front door. As she walked, she looked around and that's how she ran into someone. "Watch where the fuck you're walking!" she said to herself.
"Sorry." said the brown-haired boy, thinking she was talking to him.
"Oh! Oh..no not you. I was talking to myself. I do that sometimes." she said with a grin. "I'm Valerie Jolie. Like the movie star Angelina Jolie, ironically enough." she said, gathering her stuff.
"Casey Conner."
"Tell me Casey. Where's the office?"
He pointed at the door they kneeled in front of.
"Oh. Uh...thanks."
"No problem."
"Hey Casey?"
"What?"
"You know Zeke Tyler?"
"Maybe."
"If you see him could you tell him that I'm here? I would love you for that." she said, winking at him and walking into the office.
An hour and about fifty pages of forms later Valerie walked out of the office in search of her locker. "Thirteen...Thirteen...Oh! Here we go!" she said, seeing the number thirteen above a locker. Finding her locker successfully she opened it and began to jam her stuff in when a pair of strong arms encircled her waist. "Shit!" she said as she dropped her purse and spilled its contents. "Zeke! Look what you did!" she spat, pushing his arms off and bending down to retrieve her things. As she stood up, the arms went around her waist once more. "I believe you are the one that dropped it, am I right?" said the voice Val knew and loved. "Don't you dare turn it into my fault Zeke! You scared me." she said, jamming her backpack into her locker and closing it. Zeke began nuzzling her neck and she giggled. "Zeke. Stop it. We're gonna get in trouble."
"Trouble's my middle name, lady."
"Along with asshole, pissoff, dickhead and unintelligent, right?"
"Very funny, Val. So how do you like Herrington?"
"Personally I think it's a rundown piece of shit that isn't even worth my time but I love you so I'll suffer it."
"I honestly don't know why I put up with you." he sighed.
She turned to look at him innocently, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Because I'm so fucking irresistible."
She pulled him closer and devoured his lips in a hungry kiss.
"Uh- huh. Yeah - I think that's it." he gasped as they pulled away.
"It's good no one's around, Zeke."
"Why?"
"Cause then I couldn't do this." she said, dragging him, backwards, into the science lab and closing the door. She continued to back up until she ran into a table.
"Looks like I've got you trapped Val." said Zeke, grinning.
"I guess you do." she said smiling. Suddenly she grabbed his shirt and spun him so he was against the table. "But then again - maybe not. You want me come get me." she said, walking away around the corner. Zeke followed her and caught a glimpse of her turning down the next aisle. He crept back towards the beginning of the next aisle and waited. She walked out and screamed as he grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head, slamming her against the wall. "I wondered where I'd lost you." said Zeke, leaning in for another fire- filled kiss.
Valerie began to feel uncomfortable when Zeke began to touch her. "Zeke. Stop. Seriously. It's not you believe me." she said, seeing his confused face. "I love you but I'm just not ready for that all right? Trust me - when I'm ready you'll be the first to know."
"'S fine with me."
"Good."
"Now - where were we?" he said, leaning in and kissing her hard.
"What the hell is going on in here?" said a voice as the door creaked open.
It was Principal Drake. She looked pissed. Val giggled and Drake sent a glare her way. "Come with me." she said, leaving.
Zeke and Val just looked at each other before following, laughing all the way to her office.
