Urgh! I'm suffering from writer's block…I've got a quarter of a chapter written for 'Ripper' and it's not coming naturally for me like it normally does, '100 Themes' is just a fail in itself and don't even get me started on 'We're Getting Married'…Clearly marrying Chef Hatchet to anyone is near impossible…
So, why not have a little try at this again?
I had a couples of brainwaves at work today, so let's see if that gets me anywhere, also anyone that knows the story of Romeo and Juliet, try and guess what characters I'm pinning to who, it will all become clearer in a few chapters when I actually say who they are but for now…guess!
Also, I HAVE A BLOG! Well, a Tumblr site! But I'm treating it as a Blog, so go check it out; the link is on my profile!
Also, this may be my last update for any of my stories until next week; I have a very busy week including a University interview! Which I am very much looking forward to, those of you that are involved with my 'Of Love and FanFiction' challenge, don't worry; I will be back for the results for tomorrow!
So, I'll carry on with the second chapter of 'My Only Love From My Only Hate' Enjoy!
Thank you to Totally Calm, peacelovecheer, Fulltimereviewer, Islanda, RockinRina826, secret celebrity 2009 and Alexex for reviewing.
Chapter 2: The Secret Builds.
The door to Bridgette's home slowly opened and she walked in, her shoes were off and she threw them in the corner of the hallway, her whole outfit had pretty much been ruined after the pool incident, the white wings she had on her back now hung limply and were missing a few feathers and her once neat hair that had all been done to perfection earlier was now covered in chlorine and hung oddly around her face.
She staggered into the hallway and slowly up the stairs, once she was in the safety of her own room she exhaled deeply and sunk down to the floor, a lot had happened that night, a lot of stuff had happened that she would never had expected in a million years.
She has kissed someone; yes she had imagined that at some point in her life she would kiss someone, but not the enemy. Ok, so maybe Geoff wasn't the enemy, he was involved with Mon Tague Academy, yet he didn't seem to care too much for the place, why would he kiss her and then tell her that he wanted to meet up with her?
Maybe it was all a hoax…
Still, she would find out tomorrow if she went on that date that Geoff seemed so desperate to take her out on…if she went that is.
She was sure that she was going to go the second Geoff kissed her, but now she wasn't so sure, maybe if she knew more about him then it would be a definite option, for now she only knew three things about him, he was from Mon Tague Academy, he was incredibly handsome and he was an amazing kisser.
She sighed, she had a feeling that Courtney would still be awake after tonight's festivities, Courtney was pretty angry that Mon Tague had managed to TP the school and when Bridgette said goodbye she had sworn revenge on the school.
Bridgette wasn't worried that Courtney was going blow up the school or attack half the students there, to be honest Courtney couldn't hurt a fly, she talked about things like that but in reality she'd stay quiet and let the big boys handle her fight.
Knowing this fact she found herself pulling her cell phone and dialling Courtney's number, she seemed to know a lot about Geoff since she was the one that broke the bad news to her tonight, so she decided to put things straight and call her to find out more of this boy to find out if it was worth it tomorrow.
It took a while for Courtney to answer, however she soon answered and sounded a little fed up, Courtney was one to get all worked up about the tiniest little fight so she knew that she would be up and excepting Bridgette's phone call at some point, she always seemed to ring Courtney just to try and calm her down a bit, and it seemed to work, but tonight Bridgette was in for a bit of a fight with her, since she was in no fit state to listen to Bridgette's reasoning, she hated Mon Tague and Bridgette knew it.
"What a night, huh?" Bridgette mumbled down the phone as soon as Courtney answered.
"You're telling me!" Courtney growled, "I am so fed up! You should have seen the Cafeteria; it looks like a toilet blew up in it, plus someone managed to sneak into the French classrooms and spray painted the word 'pussy' underneath it…how disgusting is that?"
Bridgette listened to Courtney's angry rants and tried to take them all in, but all her thoughts were taken back to the knight that had kissed her tonight, she could still taste his warm yet rough lips on her own, it felt oddly comforting yet extremely wrong at the same time.
"You know" Bridgette started, trying to interrupt Courtney's angry talk, "We will get them back, we always do, they try to destroy our prom and then we put colouring in their swimming pool so when they have their annual 'jump in the pool day' after their exams they all turn blue…it's tradition and always will be, we just have to face it".
"Well, it's a tradition that stinks!" Courtney snapped back, "I've have had it with those Mon Tague fools, I want to rat them out, especially that blonde haired guy…what was his name again? Oh yeah…Geoff!"
Bridgette's heart leapt slightly when she heard Geoff's name, Courtney seemed to know at lot about him, his name for starters and Bridgette was sure that she knew more information about him since she seemed pretty pissed off every time she spoke about him and plus she was the first ever Mon Tague boy that she had ever heard Courtney speak of.
"Courtney, how do you know Geoff?" She asked, Courtney fell silent for a second and sighed.
"Come on, you know him, I know you do, you know his name, you clearly have a grudge against him, out with it" Bridgette said, and then she waited for the reply.
The reply came fairly quickly, Courtney wasn't one to keep secrets in unless they were very big, this clearly was minor since she started spilling information about her past to Bridgette.
"Ok, it was years ago, we went to the same elementary school, he and his stupid friend thought it would be a fun idea to stick gum into my hair, they did it once during Math class and it was stuck right into my hair it was pretty much attached to my head. They thought it was funny, in fact everyone in the class thought it was funny, I didn't! So, after then I tried everything to get the gum out, until my Mother had to take me to the salon to have my hair cut short so that the gum would be removed, it was horrible and ever since then I've hated him, in fact I nearly cried with happiness when I found out that Geoff was going to Mon Tague and I had been accepted into Capa" Courtney explained.
"Wow" Bridgette said, "Did Geoff do anything else to you then? Except for the gum incident?"
"Well…no…but I still hate him for it!" Courtney announced, "I don't intend on forgiving him anytime soon".
"Right" Bridgette mumbled, as well as prone to telling secrets to Bridgette, Courtney was also one to hold grudges.
"Ok, well other than sticking gum into people's hair when he was like…eight, what is he like?" Bridgette asked.
"He loves parties and he's kind of dim" Courtney said, "I guess that explains why he was wandering around the dance floor tonight, maybe he got lost and confused. He's a Neanderthal, Bridgette. True I haven't seen him in years but…a leopard never changes its spots".
Bridgette sighed, that Geoff she met outside and who kissed her sounded completely different to the Geoff that Courtney was now talking about.
It was making her think twice about going tomorrow.
"Why are you asking me this?" Courtney then asked, "You're not thinking about him are you?"
"No! Of course not!" Bridgette quickly said, "I mean…you sounded really angry when you pulled me away from him tonight".
"Of course I was angry" Courtney snapped, "That idiot had gate crashed our party and was trying to play you like a fool, I made sure that he didn't do a thing though, as soon as I pulled you away I didn't see him again for the entire evening".
'I did' Bridgette thought to herself, though she wouldn't dare tell Courtney, she was so enraged with the idea of Bridgette even talking to him she knew that if she told her about the kiss she would flip out.
As the night grew later, Courtney managed to calm down and ended up getting pretty tired, so she said goodbye to Bridgette and hung up, leaving Bridgette in silence.
It was the silence that got Bridgette thinking, as she slowly climbed into bed she couldn't help but think what the tomorrow would bring her…then she noticed that the clock on her bedside table read 2:29 in the morning. It was already today and she was meant to meet Geoff in less then 9 hours, and it was supposed to be the best day of her life.
Or so Geoff had told her it would be.
She really didn't know what to think, or whether to go for that matter, Courtney had pretty much put her off from going tomorrow, yet there was a part inside her that wanted to ignore everything that her friends and her school had told her about Mon Tague guys and learn for herself what the morning would bring her.
She decided to decide if she wanted to go in the morning, a good night's sleep would depend on how she felt in the morning.
Then again, how hard would it be to sleep when there were a million and one things on your mind?
The next morning, Bridgette woke up after having a very rough night's sleep; she had decided that if she had a good night sleep then she would go on the date and if she didn't then she'd stay at home and hide.
She had a terrible night's sleep, she kept tossing and turning, and the loud music from the dance was still echoing in her ears and making them ring. There was also the matter that she had been thinking about Geoff all night long didn't help much either.
She was thinking about him a lot, his lips, that goofy smile that seemed to shine through during their entire meeting, and his blue eyes, those bright, baby blue eyes that shone like those stars that Bridgette was fixated on last night.
Slowly, she swung her legs around and heaved herself off her bed, she still wasn't sure, things were clouding over in her head and she couldn't make up her mind about today, she had to be at the Town Hall in three hours, and she was still very unsure about whether to go or not.
What if she saw someone? What if someone like Alejandro was there and saw them, he'd kill both Geoff and herself. And she wasn't ready for that at all.
It wasn't just if she saw Alejandro, it was the fact that she could see someone else from school, then it would never be lived down, no Capa girl would ever be seen with a Mon Tague guy, it was just wrong and frowned upon. She knew that everyone at her school would refuse to talk to her if she was seen doing this.
And Courtney…Courtney would probably skin her alive after doing everything that she forbad, Courtney had a problem with Geoff and no matter how petty and stupid that problem was, she was still her best friend.
Chicks before Dicks…right?
Still, for some reason that didn't stop Bridgette from walking towards the shower and washing her hair, and then walking over to her vanity and drying her hair and then digging around her wardrobe for the perfect outfit to wear today.
The perfect outfit for her date.
Once dressed and ready to go out, Bridgette slowly slipped on a pair of pumps and grabbed a nearby bag, then she opened up a few drawers and found a scarf, she tucked it under her arm and took a pair of sunglasses from her dresser and left her room.
One side of her was screaming at her to get back upstairs and stay there until this day was over, while the other half was cheering her on and telling her to carry on with what she was about to do.
Every step seemed to take longer to walk down as she made her way towards the door, and with every step she could hear her heart beating loudly. With a deep breath she finally reached the last step and crossed the hallway towards the door.
She thought she had made a clear getaway when she heard a familiar voice coming from the doorway to the living room.
"Going out so soon? And you didn't tell us how last night was?"
Bridgette froze and bit her lip, she slowly turned around and saw her Mother standing in the doorway, smiling at her, she was still in her dressing gown and a mug of hot coffee was in her hands.
"Well? How was it? Did everyone like your costume?" Her Mother asked.
"Yeah…it went off with a big hit" Bridgette mumbled, "Except for its kind of ruined now because I was…pushed into the pool last night".
"What?" Her Mother squeaked out, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, it was all in a bit of fun" She lied, "Everyone was doing it, I wasn't planning on going in, I was…pushed in the excitement".
"You weren't pushed by one of those Mon Tague fools were you?" Her Father then asked as he also poked his head around the doorway, "please tell me they still aren't keeping up their tradition of ruining your dance?"
"Um…" Bridgette nervously trailed off; even her parents hated Mon Tague! Now there was actually no hope for her going out on this date without getting caught unless she lied and lied big at that.
She had already told a few lies to her parents; surely a few more couldn't hurt.
"No, it wasn't. But they were there" Bridgette mumbled, her parents both sighed, causing Bridgette to continue, "Do you not like Mon Tague Academy either?"
Her Mother nodded, "We both went to Capa High…and they made our lives hell there, if it wasn't beating us at football it was letting mice run free and spawn in our labs, they were vile!"
"We did get them back though" Her Dad said, "They may have won the battle but they didn't win the war".
"You know" Bridgette's Mother said as she approached her daughter, "We actually met in Capa High, and we thought it was only fitting that you went to Capa too".
"You most certainly were not going to Mon Tague, we forbad it" Her Father then said with a gentle smile.
"Right" Bridgette mumbled, "Well, I best be going".
"Where are you off to, Sweetheart?" Her Mother asked.
"Oh…erm…off out with…Courtney" Bridgette stammered, hoping that her parents didn't catch on.
"Alright then, have fun and we'll see you later, right? Are you home for dinner tonight?" Her Mother asked while walking back to the living room.
"Maybe, I'll let you know later" Bridgette said as she left the household very abruptly.
As she hurried down the road to Town Hall, she pulled on the glasses and then wrapped the scarf she had brought with her around her head like a hat and kept her head down.
She prayed that no one recognized her as she hurried down the road; she didn't want no one to see her just in case someone recognized her and spilled all at school.
As she made her way to the town, she looked around nervously, thankfully it was still pretty early and there weren't' many people around, maybe a few dog walkers and early morning shoppers, but thankfully no one from her school.
And then she saw it, Town Hall was right in front of her, and there was someone sitting on the steps to it, someone with blonde hair and was looking around anxiously.
It was Geoff.
Taking a deep breath in she took a few slow steps towards him, also keeping an eye out just in case she was ambushed by anyone.
Then she suddenly stopped, Geoff had looked up and seen her, a small smile spread on his face and he got up and started to walk over to her.
Bridgette's feet were rooted to the ground in fear, she couldn't move. Geoff seemed to be doing all the work here and he looked fairly smug about it, suddenly she was regretting coming in the first place.
She gulped and tried to step backwards, trying to run away as fast as she could, but it was all too late, Geoff was right in front of her and smiling at her.
"Well, hello again…Angel".
Alright! Sorry I ended kind of abruptly, but I'm so tired!
I'll update soon, and get cracking with a few one shots that I own people soon, I promise, it might be on Wednesday, since I have a three hour train journey up to where I hopefully will be going to University then and I'll be bored, so I can do it then!
Anyway, review! And I'll see you all soon!
