"Good morning, Melrose High! It's your Student Council President, Bailey Rose. To start off this morning's announcements, the janitors ask that no one leave food in their lockers, due to a rodent problem that has occurred."
"Guilty as charged." Said Carlos to his three friends, Logan, James, and Kendall. They all cracked up laughing.
"Also, the Testing Center, Mrs. Greer's Room, will be closed from first to fifth period today. All sports practices are cancled for today, considering the coaches have a meeting after school."
A loud wave of groans, moans, and grumbles came from the students. Sports ran that town, and without sports, most were lost.
"Prom is in three weeks! Buy your tickets before time runs out! Tickets will be for sale outside of the cafeteria, for first AND second lunch."
The class cheered. Right behind sports was prom.
"Oh, and lastly, would the person who dumped rotten cheese in Principal Wade's desk, please report to the office? And please, bring a gas mask."
Carlos stood up proudly. "Looks like I'm outie." He high fived his friends, "See you on the flip side." He left the classroom smugly.
"Why am I not surprised?" Kendall joked.
"Okay," said James, "how 'bout we not talk about Carlos, and talk about more important things, like..prom?"
"Well," Logan started, "I can't seem to find a date. How 'bout you Kendall?"
"I had a date, but Dave Moreno stole her from me."
"Stole who?" James asked.
"Rita Miller."
"Eh, she's a whore anyway." James replied.
"And you? What are your prom plans, James?" Kendall asked.
"I have no date. Might just go stag, even though going stag is pretty lame."
Belinda Cruz sat in a desk, her laptop open, viewing pictures she took for the yearbook. She saw a picture of a hockey match she attended. Number 34 (James Diamond) was shooting a goal, and Number 17 (Kendall Knight) had shoved another player into the glass. On the other side of the rink was Number 20 (Carlos Garcia), watching it all happen from the goalie net, and Number 3 (Logan Mitchell) was next to him, also watching.
She smiled at the picture, considering she was proud of her crush. She'd liked James since, probably, the seventh grade. And right now, she was in study hall.
"I have no date. Might just go stag, even though going stag is pretty lame." She overheard James say. She smiled to herself. Yes! This is perfect! Maybe we'll go to prom together? I don't know. But I can't be too forward about it.
She heard the teacher sigh, "Has anyone seen Massie Brooks today?"
Max Lawrence spoke up as a joke, "Yeah, I think she's holding a sit-in outside the Principal Wade's office, protesting the removal of her favorite lemonade machine. You could check there." The class laughed.
Massie Brooks' p.o.v.
Oh crap! I thought. I'm late. Just what I need, another detention! I ran through the hallways, by messenger bag flopping behind me. I could hear my combat boots squeak on the tiled floor. I turned the corner, and entered my study hall room. "Sorry I'm late, Mr. Sandoval!" Everyone was staring at me, clad in my famous, red, "Question Authority" t-shirt, and black skinny jeans, with a leather vest, that had a whole bunch of chains and zippers. I slowely walked in and took the only open seat next to Kendall Knight.
"Do you have an excuse, Miss Brooks?" Mr. Sandoval asked. I tried to think of something clever, "I was driving to the school, when a deer jumped out of nowhere. I turned so quickly, that I ran into a ditch, and I had to call the police to get me out."
"Boy, do I love your tall tales?" He said sarcastically. "Detention." I dropped my head onto the desk. Great. "Mr. Sandoval, I can't do it today. I have something I really have to be at." I said, my head still on the desk.
"Don't make it today, and I'll have to double it."
I picked up my head. "But Mr. Sandoval!"
"No buts!" I groaned and dropped my head again. "I'd compare you to the Wicked Witch of the West, but at least she had a heart." I felt the glare coming from my teacher.
"Massie, Principal's office, now!" I rolled my eyes, and stood up. I grabbed my bag, and before I could go anywhere, Kendall stood up. "Mr. Sandoval, she can't have detention because…she…has to drive me to the dentist! Because, everyone else I know is busy, and I'm getting put under for tooth surgery…stuff, so I can't drive. Sooo, she offered to take me."
"Well, then, I guess… you'll have to cancel, because you have detention too." I could tell Kendall was getting pissed for some reason.
"Kendall, just sit before you do something you'll regret!" Logan said.
"Why the hell do you have to be such a fucking prick all the time!" Kendall yelled. His eyes went wide, and the class 'ooh'-ed as if mocking the fact he was in trouble.
"How about, Mr. Knight, you go straight to the Principal's office with Miss Brooks." Mr. Sandoval snipped, writing a slip out for the both of us.
"Would anyone else like to go with them?" The class stayed silent. I finally left the room, while Kendall grabbed his bag, grabbed the slip, and followed me.
Lorelai Oliver's p.o.v.
Well, that was interesting, watching Kendall and Massie get in trouble like that. I quickly got up and snuck over by Logan. I knew him from chess club which I attended every once in a while. "Why'd Kendall stick up for her like that?" I asked him. He shrugged, "I have no idea!" James, who was turned around in his seat, said, "I know."
"Why?" Logan asked him.
James scoffed like everyone would know why. "Because, he's in love with her! He just doesn't know it yet." Logan looked at him weirdly, "That makes no sense! How could you love someone and not know?" James rolled his eyes, "He just does okay! Jeez." I raised my hands at him, "Okay! Okay! Calm your hormones, Diamond!" I got up, and walked back over to my friend, Belinda.
Bailey's p.o.v.
I sat in the office, doing a bit of work on random things that student council president had to take care of. Today was an A-Day (we have letter day's at school so our scheduals switch a bit), so I had no classes, just Student Council Prez stuff.
"Hey, Miss Rose!" said Carlos as he walked into the office. He's called me that since the eigth grade, even though we've never really talked much. "Hey Carlos. I've should've known you were the one to pull such a discusting prank."
"Yeah, it was, uh, gouda wasn't it?" Ah, cheese puns. I smirked, "Well, I've seen cheddar." Carlos laughed and gave me a high five. "I'll go tell Principal Wade you're here." I stood up and walked to the Vice Principal's office, where Principal Wade was currently doing business, until his office was defumigated.
"Carlos Garcia is here to take the blame for the prank."
"Alright, send him in."
I walked back out and looked at Carlos, "Go ahead in." He nodded to me, then walked in to the office, waving to me. I slightly waved back, and sat back at my seat.
Massie's p.o.v.
I walked into the office, Kendall following close behind me. I saw my best friend, Bailey, sitting at a desk doing her Presidential Thang as I call it. "Late again?" She asked me. I nodded. "Then why is he here?" She asked, gesturing to Kendall. I shrugged. She shook her head slightly, "Well, Principal Wade's kind of in the middle of something, so you guys can sit righ there. I have to go make copies in the Library." I nodded, and waved good-bye. I sat down and watched as Kendall sat next to me.
"So, talk to me." I said to him.
"About what?" he replied.
"Why'd you stick up for me? I thought you hated me. Everyone else does."
"Listen, I don't hate you. We've just never talked before, and I thought it'd be nice to get to know you. As for sticking up for you, you looked like you needed out, bad."
"Yeah, well look where we ended up, thanks to your help." I crossed my arms and faced away from him.
"Hey, hear me out, I was trying to help. It just happens that was trying to fight the teacher that was on his man-period."
I laughed at little bit.
"See, I can make you laugh!" I quickly erased all traces of me being happy.
"Just, promise you won't try to help me in less I'm in trouble with a teacher that loves you."
"I promise."
