After like… 10 years, I managed to update this. I've been like – sooo busy lately. As usual, I disclaim. The people here own themselves.

Your feedback is very much appreciated. Honestly, I don't know how to continue this one so I would really appreciate your suggestions.

XOXOXOXOXO

"So, how did detention go?" Trish asked Stephanie while they were waiting for Lilian.

"Que horror!" she replied, using their favorite Spanish phrase. I can't tell her about Hunter. It'll freak her out. She thought. "Where's Lilian?"

"Sorry guys! I know, I'm late, I'm sorry," Lilian said catching her breath.

"You don't have to. We know you got a lot going on with the Musical," Trish said.

"Thanks guys. By the way, how's detention?" Lilian asked Stephanie.

"Detention's fine," Stephanie sighed.

"Can we go home now?" Torrie asked. "I'm really tired."

"Tired?" Lilian raised an eyebrow. "Since when have you been tired?"

"I really am tired," Torrie replied.

Her friends gave her the "look".

Trish moved closer to Torrie. "Spill it out Blondie."

Torrie glanced at her other friends who were also giving her the "look". "Fine," she started, "my mom called and she said I got a letter from Gucci. It's some contest I joined. I submitted my best designs and I'm really excited to read the letter. So can we please go home now?"

Her friends started screaming. "Ohmygosh, ohmygosh," they kept on screaming.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Lilian started to climb Torrie's car.

They take turns in driving each other to school. It was Torrie's turn to drive them back and forth that day.

"Can we stop by your house?" Stephanie closed the door.

"We've got to see that letter," Trish said excitedly. "You are so gonna win."

XOXOXOXOXO

"I won third place," Torrie was still looking at the letter.

"It's okay Tor," Trish rubbed her back. All of them know that Torrie won't settle for the third place. It's as if she didn't win anything.

"It's just that I submitted my best design," Torrie reached over for her box of Kleenex.

"You still won Tor," Lilian said.

"I changed my mind about designing our gowns at our Junior Prom," Torrie said.

"What?!" they all said.

"What if will all look like clowns because of my design?" Torrie started to wipe her tears.

"We will not," Lilian said.

"Tor," Trish said, "build a bridge, and get over it. This is not the end of your designer career."

"I better get going," Stephanie said. "I'm supposed to prepare dinner tonight."

"You cook?" Torrie asked. Stephanie's question managed to make Torrie stop crying.

Stephanie stood up and grabbed her bag. "I know," she explained. "It's hard to believe but it's true. I'm not even sure if the things I 'cook' are edible. See you all tomorrow." She headed for the door.

Torrie grabbed one of her books. "Lil, you've got to help me with this freakin' Trigonometry subject. How the hell do you understand this anyways?"

"You know sometimes it pays to listen to Mr. Lawler instead of designing dresses during his class," Lilian joked.

"I don't listen but I still understand his subject," Trish said, being cocky.

Lilian grabbed a pen and a paper. "That's because you got the most handsome and not to mention smart guy to teach you about everything."

"Yeah, not to mention your amazing skills on Math. You two are like gifted kids," Torrie agreed. "Where else can I find someone like Randy Orton? I really need someone like him."

"I believe he's the only guy in the campus with that characteristic," Trish said.

"How come you two got nice relationships but I don't get any," Torrie pouted.

"Maybe guys can't go near you because they're scared that you got high standards," Lilian said.

"John managed to court you," Torrie started. "By the way, when are you going to say 'yes' to him?"

"I don't know," Lilian said.

"Why?" Trish asked. "He's a football player, a hottie."

"Shut up Trish," Lilian said. She started to draw a right triangle on the paper. "Torrie, come on, I'm going to teach you about Right Triangle Trigonometry."

"Don't change to subject Lil," Torrie not paying attention to the triangle on the paper. "What's not to like about John?"

"Yeah Lil," Trish said.

"I just don't want to make him feel that he can get any girl he wants with a snap," Lilian said.

"What?" they both looked confused.

"Don't you think he's serious?" Trish asked.

"I don't know that's why I'm not saying 'yes' to him," Lilian replied.

"Ohmygosh Lil," Torrie said. "If you don't like him, let me have him."

"I didn't say I don't like him," Lilian blurted out.

"So you like him too," Trish smiled.

"Fine," Lilian took a deep breath. "I do too. But I just don't see myself with him. Not now." She glanced at her watch. "I better get going."

"What?" Torrie blurted. "But you haven't taught me anything yet."

"That's because instead of listening to me you kept on asking about John," Lilian said. "Bye."

"I'm coming with you," Trish stood up.

"See you guys tomorrow," Torrie said.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Mom?" Stephanie was surprised. She used to be the first person to go home.

"Where have you been and where's your brother?" Linda McMahon asked.

"I was at Torrie's," she explained. "Shane's probably at school or he's with Marissa."

"Is Marissa the beautiful lady I met during his birthday?" Linda asked.

"Yeah," Stephanie confirmed. "She also happens to be a straight-A student. She's not a cheerleader, don't worry."

"Why can't you find some decent boyfriend?" Linda asked. "Several guys ask you out but you never go."

"Mom," Stephanie said. "What kind of mother forces her daughter to date? It's not like I'm 30 or something. I'm still in high school. I still got a long way to go."

Linda grabbed her organizer from her bag. "Speaking of dates, I want you to meet Kurt Angle. He's new here at Connecticut and I know his mother very well."

"Whatever mom," Stephanie sighed. "It's not like I can say 'no' to you."

XOXOXOXOXO

"I can't believe you've got to go back in that freakin' room," Lilian said.

"I managed to survive yesterday," Stephanie said. "I'll survive today too."

Stephanie entered the room and was surprised to see DX. She can surely remember her little conversation with Hunter. She approached Mr. Bischoff.

"I think you learned you lesson yesterday Ms. McMahon," he said.

"Excuse me?" she asked.

"You're not late," he smiled. "Take a seat. Same rules."

She looked around the room and saw John Cena. She felt she could sit beside him. After all, he's courting her best friend.

"Steph?" John was confused. "So you got two days of detention after what you did yesterday?"

"Isn't it obvious?" she faked a smile. I hate football players, especially my brother.

"While you're here," he started, "can I ask some things about Lilian?"

"What?" she asked. "I mean, why me? You can ask her the things you want to know about her."

"Look," John explained, "I really like her but I don't think she likes me too."

"What makes you think that?" she asked.

"She treats me the same way she treats you guys. I don't see anything special," he replied. "I want to ask her out but I'm afraid she'll not go with me."

"You know what?" she said. "If you're not going to ask her, how are you going to know? Look, I know very well were not supposed to make any sound so if you don't mind, I've got some homework to do."

"Thanks for the info anyways," he sighed. "Last question."

"What is it?" she asked.

"What's her favorite color?" he asked.

"Lilac," she replied.

For a long time, they remained quiet, including DX on the corner of the room. Then, Stephanie saw something that made her scream.

"Ms. McMahon!" Mr. Bischoff yelled. "What the hell is going on?"

John picked up a lizard from Stephanie's notebook. "Sir, I think this little creature scared her."

"Hunter, Shawn, Chyna, to the principal's office, NOW!" Mr. Bischoff bellowed.

"Wow Mr. Bischoff," Shawn said, "it's nice to know that you already know us very well including Andy, our little lizard."

Before they leave, Hunter sent Stephanie a playful smirk.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Hey guys!" Stephanie called. "You won't believe what happened at detention."

"What?" they all asked.

"DX managed to place a lizard on top of my notebook while I was doing my homework and I don't even know how," Stephanie started. "John was in detention too," she looked at Lilian. "He asked me blah, blah, blah things about you. You know, he may seem like a usual football player jerk who knows nothing than to find a beautiful girlfriend but I really think he's serious about you."

"What?" Lilian looked confused.

"He really likes you but I still hate football players," Stephanie said. "Not to mention he's desperate to ask you out."

"Why can't he just ask her out?" Trish butted in.

"He said he feels like you'll say 'no' to him," Stephanie informed her.

"Speaking of the devil," Torrie said, "he's heading towards here."

"Lil," John approached Lilian, "can I talk to you?"

Her friends started to push her. "Of course you can," they said.

"You can talk to me here," Lilian didn't budge.

John gathered all his strength to say this in front of her and her friends. "Are you free this Saturday?"

XOXOXOXOXO

As you can see, I'm beginning to focus first on the other characters. I'm trying to build the main character's relationship slowly so don't worry. Feedback is very much appreciated.
