Chapter 2: 9:00 p.m.

Two hours had past and Chuck and Angelica said not a word to each other.

Finally, Angelica broke the silence, "I can't believe this is happening! I come here for a party, and wind up getting stuck in an old house with the king dweeb himself! I can't believe this!"

Chuck frowned and said, "Hey, I'm not thrilled anymore than you are! I'm stuck in here with a Paris Hilton wannabe!" Angelica glared at Chuck, "What did you call me, Finster?"

Chuck said, "You heard me, a Paris Hilton wannabe!" Angelica just glared at Chuck while he faced the window and watched the rain fall. "It's ironic isn't it?" Chuck said out of the blue. Angelica looked at him confused, "What are you talking about, Finster?"

Chuck continued to look out the window while he spoke, "That you and I just so happened to come to the same wrong address, on the same stormy night and managed to coincidentally get trapped here. It's ironic isn't it?"

Angelica spoke after a brief awkward silence, "No, Finster. It's just bad luck." Just then, the thunder struck very loudly, startling the both of them.

"Angelica? Are you okay?" Chuck said in a more concerning tone of voice. Angelica, who was panting slightly, looked at Chuck in amazment that though she had just insulted him, he was concerned for her well-being. "Don't worry about me, Finster. Worry about yourself." Chuck frowned, "Jeez, I was just trying to help!"

Angelica turned away from him and walked to the other side of the room and stared out the window, watching the storm that clearly won't be letting up anytime soon.

The rain was pouring down, and the lighting and thunder was constant. The wind was blowing harder now. Chuck and Angelica just listened to the sounds of the rain and wind and thunder.

Chuck looked at Angelica as she had her back toward him. When she looked back at him, he quickly turned back around. Angelica finally said, "What were you looking at, Finster?"

With his back still turned, his face was clearly blushing. He finally said, "Nothing."

Chuck always liked Angelica dispite of her picking on him mercilessly. He tried hard not to show it, which in his case he should receive a golden globe award for best performance.

"Angelica?" Chuck asked in a soft tone. "What?" Angelica said in an annoyed tone. Chuck sighed and asked, "Why don't you like me?" This question hit Angelica by surprise. Even though he was a nerd, she really had no idea why she couldn't stand him and picked on him so much.

The only answer she could give was, "Because you're a loser and a geek, Finster!"

Chuck got angry, "That doesn't give you the right to pick on me! Reguardless of what you think of me, I always thought there was something more to you. I see something inside you that I know is waiting to come out. Angelica, I can see the real you and I know that you're better than what you're letting on. You let everyone see how tough you are, but only I see right through it. I don't know why, but I just know how good you really are."

Angelica didn't quite know what to say or how to act to the things Chuck just said to her, but she started thinking, 'Could I really be the person Chuck says I am or is it just not possible?'

Angelica sighed and looked at Chuck and said, "Whatever."

This was going to be a long night.
