Hey everyone, finally ready to update this way overdue … ENJOY! Read && Review for me please!
Chapter 7
The long drawn out school day, was not have way through. Students sat in their third period class, all trying to stay awake, due to the boredom of worksheets, projects, lectures, and research school brought to their lives.
Melina had been trying to get into contact with Jeff all night in morning. It took all of her strength and will power to get out of bed, but she knew if she wanted to talk to Jeff she had to do it in school. Melina timed it so that she would just be getting to school in time for fourth period, which was the art class she and Jeff shared.
Melina ran into the school building hearing the fourth hour bell as soon as she reached the entrance. She ran down the hall, and up a few flight of stairs, until she reached her destination. Out of breath she stood on her tip toes and looked through the small glass window on the art door, and saw Jeff causing her to smile, yet she bit nervous, and also in favors to her luck an empty seat and canvas directly next to him.
Melina quickly fixed her hair and mad sure she had enough make up on to cover the fact that she had been crying all night. Melina stood beautifully in nice black leggings, and a pink fitted blouse long enough to cover her rare, with her long black hair straight down her back. She stood five-six tall, the heel on her matching pink boots giving her and extra three inches, as she walked into the classroom with her head held high.
"Hi, Jeff" Melina boldly spoke sitting next to him
Jeff frowned remained as he walked away to get some extra paint from the art supply closet.
Melina heart continued to shatter internally, but she could not let it show externally. She pulled out the painting she had been working on for the past week, and attempted to finish it.
Maria saw Jeff walk away and decided to go have a chat with Maria, about last night.
"So did you tell him?"
"Shh…" Melina rudely replied "And no!" she also lied
Maria shook her head
"The longer you wait, the harder it will be"
"Just drop it!" Melina ordered
Maria eyes widened as she put her hands up in surrender
"New subject" she said staring back at Jeff, then back at her painting
Jeff stood at the art supply closet, searching for what most thought would be paint. Jeff stared back over his shoulder and saw Melina before shaking his head, finding a bit of humor in her act snickering a bit.
"There is not that much paint to search through" One of Jeff's best friends Shannon approached him.
"What are you talking about?" Jeff asked, pretending as though he was looking for something else.
"You've been over here for the past five minutes pretending like you've been looking for something" Shannon replied
"So, are you watching me now?"
"As a matter of fact yes" he answered "And why some may find that creepy, I look at it as me being a very god and caring best friend"
Jeff chuckled a bit "Weirdo"
"Maybe, but the world needs more people like me" Shannon objected
"I beg to differ"
"Yeah, but seriously you alright?" he asked on a serious note "You seem a bit out of it!"
"I'm fine" Jeff said as he glared at Melina, who was giggling and talking to Maria.
Jeff got annoyed seeing Melina laugh. How can she even smile after knowing what she did, was all he thought. Jeff shook his head in disappointment, still with the deepened frown on her face.
Shannon turned to see where Jeff eyes were directed to, and not to his surprise it was Melina.
"Oooooooh, fight with the girlfriend?"
Jeff scoffed "Is that what she is?"
"Wait, you two just got back together; you guys are broken up again?"
"Yes, And for good this time!"
"What happened?" Shannon asked wanting to know
Jeff sighed, "Just know, I'm done"
"Man, no secrets. Tell me!"
"It's too complicated and too deep, nothing personal, I'd just rather not talk about it" Jeff honestly answered
"Whoa! This must be serious" Shannon replied
"You have no idea" Jeff said shaking his head, before grabbing to coats of paint and going back to his seat which was unfortunately next to his least favorite person at the moment.
"Mr. Moore, your class now!" The art teacher yelled finally noticing the rebel, who was known for skipping his classes to joke around with Jeff in art class…
"I'm going! I'm going!" Shannon said putting his hands up in surrender and walking out and down the hall
The entire art class busted into laughter, including Melina. Jeff shook his head, and was itching to say something to her, but decided to hold his composure.
"Enough horse place, and giggles. Back to work I want these paintings finished by the end of the hour" The teacher yelled, as the students went scattered around the classroom, getting back on track.
"So you two going to Cena's party tomorrow" Maria asked Melina and Jeff
"Uh…" Melina started
"Oh, come on, everyone's going to be there and it'll give you two a chance to let the whole school know that you two are going back out" Maria said not knowing the situation between the broken couple.
Jeff rudely snickered.
Melina glared and shook her head
"Uh, I'm going to go finish my piece" Maria said feeling a bit out of place "Talk to you guys later"
Melina watched her friend walk away before turning to Jeff.
"So are you really going to act like this toward me?" Melina whispered staring around them to make sure their conversation remained private.
Jeff smirked
"Like what?"
"You know what Rude!" she answered "You ignoring me."
"Well, Melina if you ask me I'm being fairly civil, because I could act ten times worse" he stated
Melina stared down, more hurt than ever.
"I made a mistake, I was terrified…" she started her speech again but was interrupted by Jeff
"Blah, blah, blah" Jeff replied, officially hitting the point where he didn't care anymore.
"Jeff Please…" she whispered but furiously "Understand my side of this… Don't be selfish…" She began again but this time interrupted by the school bell.
"Selfish!" Jeff snickered gathering his belongings "Such a funny statement, made by you" he said shaking his head before placing his finished pieced on his teachers desk with the rest of his peers work, and walking toward the door "And I'd appreciate it if you'd stop calling me" he rudely replied before walking out.
Melina tucked a piece of her dark hair behind her ear, and shook her head in disappointment. She tried her hardest to hold back tears, but found it too hard as a few drops fell down her cheek. She knew he was hurt but didn't know he would react like this…
Out in the hall, students transitioned from one class to the other, mingling with each other in the process.
Sophmore Maryse Ouellet stood at her locker gathering her notebook, binder, and text book for her next period, Spanish class.
She enjoyed her schoolmates, but found them very annoying at times, as she rolled her eyes at the immature freshmen around her on the hall.
Maryse slammed her locker, and her frown suddenly made its way to a smile, when she saw who was behind it.
"Maryse Ouellet"
"Ted Dibiase" Maryse smirked at the junior "What's up?"
"Nothing much" he replied leaning on the lockers on the side him "What are you about to do?" he asked
"Uh, we're in school, so my guess would be class" she replied sarcastically
"Ha ha" he remarked "I meant what class?"
"Oh, Spanish" she replied frowning again
"Why the face?" he asked "Taking her Spanish book, and flipping through it"
"I hate this class, I'm already fluent in French and English, why should I be required to learn Spanish too" she whined
"Suck it up!" he chuckled "It's easy; I made it out of that class with an A last year, so you can too"
"I know I can, I just don't feel like it" she said leaning her head on the lockers behind her.
"Well, come with me"
"Where? What class?"
Ted chuckled "No class, genius"
Maryse stared in confusion "Then where are we going?"
"Just taking a little break, he said grabbing her books, and one of her hands, and leading her toward the exit
"Wait! Ted you mean skip?" She said a bit worried
"Uh... Duh" he said
"I can't we can get caught and suspended" Maryse said trying to pull away from Ted
Ted chuckled "Stop being scary sophomore, me and my buddies do this all the time, I'm a pro"
Maryse contemplated looking back and forward at the school building and Ted's car which was in sight.
Ted sighed and stepped closer to her, as they were nose to nose.
"Maryse, I would never do anything to get you in trouble" Ted said "I like you too much" he smirked playing with a string of her light blonde hair
Marsye smiled, as she allowed Ted to lean in for what was a slow and passionate kiss.
"Where will we go?"
"My place" he answered still very close to her "Maybe we can finish what we started last year"
Maryse smirked, before pulling away and looking at the school one last time.
"If you get me caught, I'm going to kill you" she smirked before she walked past him toward the parking lot, where his car was parked
Ted, raised his fits in excitement, before jogging lightly to catch up to the French beauty.
"This better be worth it Dibiase!" Maryse smiled walking up to the passenger's side of Ted's car
"Trust me, it will" he smirked getting into the driver's seat "In fact I have a gift for you" he said eyeing the glove department
Maryse, stared in hesitation before catching the hint and opening the department in front of her seat
Ted smirked at Maryse let out a chuckle…
"Condoms!" she giggled pulling out the pack of condoms she found.
"I said, we're going to pick up where we left off" he said putting the key into the ignition
"True enough, you know me too well" she smiled kissing him, before he got the chance to pull off.
"Save it for the bedroom" he joked pulling away.
Maryse chuckled and playfully hit him in the chest.
"Fine!"
Ted smiled before turning up the volume on his radio and pulling out of the VKM High parking lot. Maryse smiled at Ted then looked out the window, seeing a few familiar faces, sitting at a bench in front of a nearby coffee shop, as they drove by it.
"Was that Maryse Ouellet and Ted Dibiase?" Angelina Love asked her friend Velvet Sky.
"Looked like it" Velvet answered drinking her non-fat latte'
"Who looked like what?" Shannon said as she and his friend Gregory Shane Helms came out of the coffee shop, with a few muffins, and bagels
"We just saw Ted and Maryse ride by in a car together" Angelina replied
"So, maybe they're skipping just like we are" Shane shrugged putting his arm around Velvet
"When did they start talking again" Velvet asked
"When Ted realized he can get between her legs whenever he wanted" Angelina joked as she and Velvet laughed
"Kind of like how we got them" Shannon whispered to Shane about Angelina and Velvet, as the two guys snickered to themselves.
"So, what are we going to do now" Angelina asked "I don't just want to sit here, for another two hours, until school get out…"
"Yeah, if that's the case we could have just sat on our asses in class" Velvet chimed in
"Well, it's too late to go back to school, they're in too deep into fifth period, they would know we was skipping" Shannon replied looking at his watch
"Agreed." Shane stated
"So any ideas?"
"Maybe we can go to my place" Velvet replied "My mom should be headed to work right now"
"Good idea, and you live the closest, so we can walk" Shannon added
"Ugh!" Angelina and Velvet said in unison
"Look! Do you two really want to go back to the school to get our cars, and risk getting caught" Shannon argued
Angelina sighed
"He's right Sky" she said
"So let's get to walking" Shane replied grabbing Velvet's hand and walking behind Shannon who had his hand around and almost below Angelina's waist.
Back at Vincent Kennedy McMahon Community School, for the students who weren't skipping, the rest of the day continued as usual.
Eve walked the empty hallways alone. She was student body president for her grade, and had some student government association business to during her free period.
Eve walked professionally in some nice grey slacks, and a navy blue silk blouse, that complimented her cleavage. She had a few flyers to hang up, in relevance to the upcoming football game, so she groaned when she realized how long each hall in the school was.
"Oh no, these heels are coming off" she said aloud to herself bending over and taking a loose the strap on her four inch high heels.
"I'm enjoying the view"
Eve shot up hearing a familiar voice
"Chris don't sneak up on me like that"
"I wanted to surprise you" Eve's boyfriend Chris Masters replied, as he walked up closer to her, and kissing her
Eve smiled. Though she and her boyfriend Chris, weren't the perfect couple, and seemed to have more problems than the average couple, she loved him, and no matter how many times, he's cheated and lied to her, she was willing to forgive him.
"So please tell me, you're here to help me"
"And do work during my lunch hour" he rudely replied "Yeah right!"
Eve rolled her eyes
"You signed up to be in the student body government so you do it"
"Fine, Whatever" Eve replied about to walk away, but had her arm tugged on by Chris
"Do I feel an attitude coming from you"
"No" She said glaring at him
"Good" he glared back
"Are you going to at least come out to out fundraiser later, and support"
"Support what!"
"Me!" she argued "I'm giving a speech, and you know how I feel about public speaking"
"Ugh, you've done this shit plenty of time, what's there to be scared about" he said
"Look, you could've just said no! You don't have to be a jerk about it" Eve said grabbing her flyers and making her way down the hall.
"I don't need the attitude!" Chris replied "I'll be in the lunchroom" he said as Eve folded her arms and shook her head at him "But Torres, this isn't over I'll deal with you later!"
"Whatever!" she scoffed before, continuing to walk the opposite way of him
"Well, that was a show" Matt replied walking behind Eve, who jumped in fear
"Oh my god!" she said putting her hand over her chest "What is it with everyone sneaking up on me today" she said a bit annoyed
"Sorry"
"And why were you spying on us" Eve responded to his first comment, as she continued to walk down the hall, forcefully slapping flyers any and everywhere, not really carrying.
"I wasn't; this is a public school, meaning we have public hallways, that me "the public" was just passing through, when I saw you and Chris' episode" Matt bluntly replied
"Episode?" she rolled her eyes "Whatever, you and everyone else around here really needs to mind their own business"
"We try, but when the world is full of assholes like Masters, and vulnerable women like you, that's when we have to step in" he answered "Eve! You're my friend, and as a friend I'm telling you deserve better"
Eve scoffed "Here we go again, the "you're too good for him speech" "
"But you are!" Matt yelled
"He's the only one that cares about me Matt!" Eve yelled "And no one can take that away from me"
"You call that caring!" Matt yelled back "I never known for one person to be so clueless!"
Eve huffed, slamming the rest of the paper flyers on the ground.
"Matt, as a friend I'm letting you know, I'm fine! So you should just leave me alone! And worry about Ashley!" Eve snapped before storming off down the hall.
Matt stared before shrugging and walking the other way, and turning the corner..
"Did I just hear yelling?" Ashley asked in Matt's view coming from the other end of the hall
"Uh… Maybe, but whatever" Matt smiled pecking her on the lips "So, what's up are we still on for tonight?"
"Uh.." Ashley gave him the sorry face
"No babe, not tonight! Not again"
"I'm sorry, but my agency just called, I have a call back for that commercial, and final callbacks are tonight, I have to be downtown to rehearse in like a hour" she explained "That's why I even left class early to explain to you"
Matt rolled his eyes, and gave her a look
"I know this is like my third time in a row cancelling, but you know how much getting this role would mean to me" she whined "I promise I'm yours tomorrow night"
"Tomorrow is the Cena's party" Matt replied
"Well, this weekend" Ashley begged putting her arms around his neck "And that's even better because my mom, work all night, and my sister Michelle will probably be with some guy, so we'll have the house to ourselves" she pecked him again "I promise, I'll make it worth the wait" she whispered, before nibbling on his ear.
Matt smiled at the temptation and pleasure he got from that.
"Alright!" he said lightly pushing her off, before he got to deep in the mood "But, all weekend!"
"All weekend" she held out her pinky, as Matt locked it with his.
"Deal…"
"Thanks for understanding baby!" Ashley squealed hugging him once more "I'll call you later!" she said before running toward the exit…
"Be careful!" he yelled at her before the door slammed, leaving Matt down the hall by himself…
The final bell finally sounded of what seemed to be the longest day of school, as students rushed out of their last period classes, and out into the main after school hangout spot; the courtyard. The courtyard was crowded every day after and before school. It was the place where the students skateboard, gossip, does homework, ride bikes, everything they couldn't do during the eight hours in school.
"Was it just me or, was today extremely drawn out" Torrie whined to her friend Brooke Adams, as they walked around the courtyard, seeing different peers.
"It wasn't just you I thought this day would never end" Brooke replied "I was about to die of boredom in last period!"
"I know right!" Torrie chuckled "But, now that the day is over what are you about to go do?"
"Go home, do some homework and I wait for Alex to get off work I guess" Brooke answered "What about you?"
"Well, if I can find my brother, I at least have a chance of getting home, because I refuse to walk" Torrie chuckled looking around "And after that, homework until dance rehearsal I guess"
Brooke chuckled "Good Luck finding him in this crowd"
"I know right" Torrie said as she and Brooke eventually part ways
Torrie stood on a bench that was in the area, to see if she can get a better view.
Back in the building John threw some carelessly into his locker before slamming it…
"Hey bro I need the biggest favor" Randy ran up to him already out of breath
"Uh, sure. What is it?"John asked
"Give Tor a ride home for me…"
"Uh…."
"Oh come on, I was suppose to be at Gold's Gym like twenty minutes ago for one on one practice with a friend of my dad's and if I'm any later he would kill me"
John hesitated. He and Torrie agreed not to make things between them awkward. Actions speak louder than words, and saying it was a lot easier than doing it.
"Please, I'll pay for your gas, I'll do whatever, just need this favor, and can you make up your mind already I'm in a hurry"
"Alright! Alright bro I'll do it" John gave in "But, you owe me gas money on a bad day"
"Thanks! And I promise I'll pay you back" Randy said running off "Oh and if you see Kelly on your way out tell her I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight" he yelled from down the hall.
John took a deep breath before making his way to the courtyard. John searched around and seemed to have seen everyone but Torrie, including his good friend Evan, who skateboarded giving him a friendly high five, while passing.
Evan smiled, within a few steps saw, a small curly blonde hair girl walking in a blue jean skirt,, white designer sandals and a simple white tank top.
Evan sped up on his board, gliding next to her.
"Need help?" he asked her
"Huh?"
"With your books?" he smiled
She looked up and smiled as well
"You're willing to help a complete stranger?"
"My name is Evan Bourne, I'm a sophomore, and this is my first year at VKM"
She chuckled at his charm
"I'm Kelly Blank, I'm also a sophomore, and I've been here since the sixth grade"
"See we're no longer stranger now" he said grabbing her books
Kelly giggled "Guess not"
"You know you have a beaut…" Evan started but
"Hey sorry to interrupt…" Torrie ran up to Kelly "But, have you seen Randy around?"
"Uh, not since earlier" Kelly answered
"Ugh!" Torrie scoffed "Thanks anyway!" she smiled at the two before walking off
"Randy? Is he a friend? Brother? Evan asked
"Uh…" Kelly put her head down "Boyfriend" she answered
"Oh…" Evan replied, but then smiled
"Yeah, he's a junior here"
"Cool," Evan lied "Well, look I forgot I had skateboarding practice so I kind of have to get to the other side of the building, Evan said sweetly giving Kelly back her books!
"Um. Ok! It was really nice meeting you" she replied
"Yeah, you too" he told before gliding off…
Kelly turned on her heels, feeling horrible as she had time to think on her walk home.
A few blocks away from the school, was an almost teenager who already reached her home, and began working on her parents.
"Aww, come on how can you resist a weekend getaway from you five crazy kids" Joy bribed her parents waving a pamphlet in their faces.
"Sweetheart, as temptimg as it is I don't know if I would be able to sleep at night with you kids here alone, and it's you birthday weekend, we don't want to just neglect that" Carol Cena told her only daughter Joy.
"Mom, it's not neglect! It's a gift from me to you, and I told you my birthday plans already, so it's not like you'll be missing anything"
"What do you think John?" Carol asked her husband
"Hm? It does sound like a nice getaway resort." John Sr. answered, as Joy smiled
"Trust me dad, it is! Micki said her mom went last month and it was well worth it" she lied in persuasiveness.
"We'll think about it" Carol finally said, and to Joy that meant "Yes"
"Yay!" Joy jumped for excitement, before looking at her parents who was staring at her strangely "I mean, I just want you guys to relax for a weekend, so I'm happy you are considering it" she said
"Right" Carol folded her arms
"Ok, well I'm going to leave now" Joy said before she got herself in a sticky situation.
Joy ran out of her parents room, and downstairs into the basement where she and her brothers went for privacy. Joy jumped up and down before texting her best friend Micki…
"The party is definitely on…"
