Make You Smile

Chapter Seven

From a Whisper to a Scream

"And then you square root the 24 to get 12, which is the hypotenuse," Trish explained for the millionth time.

"Mmhmm," Steven mumbled clearly not paying attention. He started doodling on his worksheet, bored out of his mind and completely unaware that Trish was getting beyond frustrated.

"Steven!" Trish yelled, startling him. "Pay attention or you're not gonna get this!" She felt bad for yelling at him but it had to be done. He was obviously more interested in drawing pictures of…what was it…curse words? Trish sighed.

"Steven, I know this is…" She glanced at his 'words' "fucking gay and a stupid gay waste of time," she quoted, "but you have to know these."

Steven buried his head in his hands. "It's too hard and I'm never even gonna use trig in my life so what's the point?"

Trish slumped in her chair and crossed her arms. She smirked. The classic 'I'm never going to use this so what's the point' line. She grabbed the pen and jotted down a few equations.

"Okay, you have to finish these by next lesson or else I'll tell your mom," Trish threatened.

"Well then you're a dobber," Steven complained.

"I don't care how you get them done, pay someone to do it, I don't care, I'm trying to help you and you're obviously not ready to be helped so whatever!" Trish yelled in a frustrated tone. She grabbed her back and headed for the door only to be stopped by Steven's voice.

"I'm sorry Trish," he apologized. "You wanted to help and I was just being a big jerk, I'll do the work," he said.

"By next lesson?" she arched an eyebrow. Steven nodded. She grinned and ran over and kissed his forehead.

"Ew!" Steven groaned.

Trish headed across the lawn, making her way to her own house. It had been a week since Chris had organised the dinner with his parents for her and she still hadn't told John. She had the opportunity to tell him the last Friday they had spent together, but didn't want to ruin the night in case John took it really bad. She'd been putting it off because she knew he wouldn't be happy that she was dumping him on their day for her boyfriend. She pondered on whether he didn't mind hanging out after school just for an hour or so before she went to Chris'. It was worth a try. She had to tell him now or never.

Trish entered her room and dumped her bag on the floor. As she got her phone out to call John (he was at football practice), her phone started to ring. It was Chris. She sighed and answered, even though she didn't feel like speaking to him at the time.

"Hi babe, I was just calling about Friday," he said. Trish didn't say anything. "Anyway straight from school you can come with me and I'll take you out to the shops so you can get something nice to wear for the night?"

Trish frowned. "So are you saying I don't normally wear nice things?" she arched an eyebrow waiting for his answer.

"No…no," Chris stuttered. "It's just you know, it's my family and all and it's pretty formal and, it wouldn't kill ya to wear a nice dress or something you know?"

"You don't think I look good enough for your family?" Trish spat getting really annoyed. Chris began getting frustrated.

"Oh my god Trish! If John offered to by you something you wouldn't say stuff like that to him!" Chris yelled.

Trish was speechless. "Why do you always bring up John, he has nothing to do with this!"

"Well maybe because he's always fucking with you every single moment. I bet there's something going on with you two! I mean you are so touchy-feely, you share the same bed I bet you've even slept with him!" Chris blurted out without even thinking.

Trish just stood still. She didn't say anything. The next thing Chris heard was a faint 'beeping'. She had hung up on him. Why did he have to say that, he thought. Trish was the best thing that had happened to him. John was supposed to be his friend, and Trish his girlfriend. It was so wrong of him to accuse her of such things.

Chris slumped down on his bed and buried his face into his pillow. Shit.

--

Trish threw her phone onto the bed before grabbing a pillow and burying her face into it. She screamed into it so it was muffled. She hated Chris right now. How could he accuse her of sleeping with John? She would never do that to him. Okay, she had made out with John, but that was a mistake. She would never go to the lengths of cheating on Chris by sleeping with John. Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing. Maybe it's John. She looked at the screen and saw Chris' name flashing. She wanted to answer, but instead put it down and let it ring out.

Trish was awoken by her phone ringing yet again. Ugh! Chris just wouldn't leave her alone! She turned over and grabbed it, deciding it was time to turn it off. Stacy's name was flashing on the screen.

"Hello?" Trish answered.

"Wanna come over?" was all Stacy said. Trish nodded even though

Stacy couldn't see her. She probably heard from Randy what happened. Chris must have told. Trust him to try and get everyone on his side!

"Yeah, I'll be over soon," Trish replied before hanging up. It was just what she needed. A girl's night. No best friend-boys, no boyfriends, no drama.

Trish got up and began grabbing items to take to Stacy's. John immediately entered her mind. I forgot to tell him about Friday.

--

"I can't believe he said that to you!" Stacy screeched as Trish settled her stuff down in Stacy's room. She nodded, trying to acknowledge to Stacy that she didn't really want to talk about it.

There was a silence. Trish grabbed a pillow and placed it behind her back as she sat on Stacy's bed. Stacy joined her and sat Indian style in front of her. She dug through Trish's bag and took out some gummy bears and marshmallows and set them between her and Trish. The silence continued until Stacy dared to utter the question that she wanted, no needed to know.

"You haven't, have you?"

"Haven't what?" Trish replied, eyeing Stacy.

"You know, with John…you haven't…"Stacy eased out hoping Trish would catch on.

""NO! Stacy! I would never cheat on Chris, and with John too!" She exclaimed. She couldn't believe Stacy would think that.

"Okay, relax I was just asking." Stacy said. "Plus, you'd tell me if you did, right?" she said. She knew she was pushing it.

"Yes, yes I would…but I haven't!" Trish assured. There was another long pause.

"Would you ever, I mean if you weren't with Chris…or anyone for a fact," Stacy broke the silence once again.

Trish thought for a while. Would she ever do IT with John? It would be so weird, especially coz he was her best friend.

"I don't know," she finally said.

Stacy nodded and rummaged through the packet of gummies, before handing them to Trish. Trish began picking out the red ones and eating them. It was a bit of an OCD. She had to eat the red ones before any other colour, that's the way it had always been. Everyone payed her out for doing so.

Stacy giggled. "You're so weird!" Trish shot her a look.

"Can't help it."

Stacy re positioned herself so she was lying on her stomach. She took out a magazine and flipped through, not really looking at anything in particular. She glanced up at Trish who was still picking at the packet of gummies in search of red ones, hoping she would initiate conversation soon.

"So, um, I still haven't told John about Chris' family dinner, do you think he'll flip?" Trish finally said, totally breaking her vow of not talking about best friend-boys, boyfriends and the like.

"Hmm you still haven't told him, that's very irresponsible Trish," Stacy replied, not looking up from the magazine.

"I know, I know, but I just don't know what to say! Chris wants me to go shopping straight away so that means I won't be able to see John at all," Trish explained. "He's going to be so mad."

Stacy continued to scan the pictures in her magazine. "Well maybe if you told him straight after you found out about this dinner, Little Miss Trishy wouldn't be in this mess!" Stacy snapped.

Trish gave a confused look towards Stacy who even though wasn't looking up, still could feel Trish's change of vibe.

"Um, what's with the all of a sudden snappiness?" Trish asked.

Stacy wacked the magazine down and gave Trish an "are you serious" look. Trish just shrugged.

"Are you kidding me? You're still going through with Chris' dinner after the way he spoke to you?" Stacy spat, defending John.

"Well I can't just cancel! He's my boyfriend, what am I supposed to do?" Trish asked, rhetorically.

"Break up with him," Stacy mumbled. Trish barely heard but shot her a look anyway.

"What? Did you just say break up with hi…"Trish started before being cut off.

"I said, John is your best frikken friend and you're still blowing him off for your ass of a boyfriend! God Trish you make me so damn angry!" Stacy yelled.

"What the hell? How does it even bother you? Chris is my boyfriend, he was concerned, he was practically questioning our relationship so me going to his dinner is a way of reassuring that we are fine! John will understand once I explain to him what happened." Trish explained.

"Ugh!" Stacy scoffed. "It concerns me coz John is my friend too. He has feelings too. If you tell him you're blowing him off coz you and Chris had a tiff he's probably going to start questioning his friendship with you!" Stacy spat.

"And why would he do that?" Trish said.

"Because he…" I can't tell her, John would kill me. "Because you haven't been acting like a best friend should. Best friends never call off anything for a boyfriend or girlfriend."

Trish arched an eyebrow. "Then what was that the other night when you blew me off for your BOYFRIEND Randy?" Trish shot back.

Stacy's eyes widened. "Um…that…that was different, I was, um something came up and Randy was the only one I could consult at the time," Stacy lied. Well she isn't going to believe you.

"I so don't believe you, but okay, fine I'll tell John first thing tomorrow." Trish agreed. Stacy nodded.

"Moving on, before I start to hate you to, what are you going to wear to Jerkicho's birthday party?" Stacy said.

"One, don't call him that, two no one hates me and three, I don't know…any ideas?" Trish replied, shooting Stacy a glare for transforming her boyfriends name into "jerk".

"One, I can call him whatever coz he was and is a jerk now, two, everyone will hate you," Stacy stuck out her tongue. "And three, we can go shopping after school tomorrow…you know to get away from John…since he'll hate you after you tell him about Friday," Stacy joked about the last part.

Stacy laughed and got a pillow in the face by Trish who didn't think her boy issues were funny at all. Stacy got up off her stomach and hit Trish back with the pillow. Trish scoffed and tackled Stacy down and grabbed the packet of marshmallows. She squeezed Stacy's cheeks in order to slightly ajar her mouth, and began stuffing marshmallows in so Stacy couldn't speak…or scream. Trish giggled as she manoeuvred on top of Stacy and stuffed one more marshmallow into her mouth.

"Mmm gmma mll moo,"Stacy mumbled, unable to speak.

Trish giggled, whilst Stacy tried to chew her way to speech freedom. Trish watched her and giggled more, before realising she was actually straddling Stacy.

"You know, we could make a fortune if John or Randy were here right now," Trish said as Stacy swallowed her mass of marshmallows.

"We could always plan that for another time," she laughed and pushed Trish off of her.

--

Stacy and Trish walked side by side towards Trish's locker. Trish scanned the hallways looking for John, but he wasn't around. The two continued walking when all of a sudden someone slapped them both on there asses.

"What the F!?" Trish yelped as her and Stacy turned around to come face to face with a grinning Randy.

"Uh, Randy as much as I love you, I don't really appreciate you butt raping my friend or me for that matter," she stated. Randy chuckled.

"Sorry but you know how much I can't get enough of those fine buns," he said slyly, whilst eyeing the two girls off.

"Ugh, sicko," Trish spat and approached her locker. Stacy followed and leant against the locker next to Trish's. Randy stood in front of her and the two started making out. Trish glanced at them and gagged.

"Oh for the love of…you two are sick," she said and opened her locker so it blocked their faces.

She began grabbing her books for her first classes. Let's see, English…with John, oh John I wish you were here…Ugh to take me away from disgusting Stacy and Randy and their tonsil hockey! Then…Ooh, then History, with John again. Her thoughts were interrupted by a tap on the shoulder. She jumped, startled as she clenched her chest. Turning around, she met a smile of guiltiness.

"Oh, it's you," she said simply before turning around and burying her face in her locker.

"Trish, I'm,"

"You're what Chris? Sorry? Sorry for accusing me of cheating on you with my best friend!?" Trish said, trying not to yell too loudly.

"Would you please just…," Chris stopped and adjusted Trish's locker door revealing as startled Randy and Stacy, who awkwardly looked away, joining lips again as if they hadn't been eavesdropping.

"Hey um, do you reckon you two could give us some privacy?" Chris said, amazingly nice for once.

"No," Randy said bluntly. Trish shot him an 'it's okay' look and he nodded, grabbing Stacy's hand and dragging her away.

"Err, I don't wanna leave her alone with him, he'll say some sappy bullshit and she'll forgive him, I know her!" Stacy whispered as Randy pulled her around the corner.

"Just let Trish do her own thing this time, Chris is a jerk and she knows it, she's just nod ready to accept it." Randy said. He and Stacy poked their head around the corner to watch Trish and Chris' chat/argument.

"Look, I was out of line, and I'm so sorry babe," Chris apologized. Trish rolled her eyes.

"I understand if you aren't coming to the dinner anymore, but I just need us to be a couple again, I don't want to lose you over my stupidity," He said.

"We are a couple still, we never broke up," Trish said quietly. Chris smiled. He was so relieved that Trish had forgiven him.

"I'm so sorry, it won't happen again, I have complete trust in you," He touched her cheek.

Trish gave a small smile as he bent down and kissed her lips.

"Ugh! See! She fuckin' forgave the bastard," Stacy said as she was about to storm over to them. Randy grabbed her sleave.

"What the fuck are you doing, leave them alone!" He snapped.

Trish pulled away and hugged Chris, burying her face in his chest.

"And don't worry, the dinner is still one, and you won't lose me over stupid things you say," she giggled and kissed his chest through his shirt. Chris lifted her chin up and looked into her eyes.

"I love you," he said, kissing her full on the lips.

"Hey what's going on?" a voiced asked, behind Stacy and Randy. The two turned around suspiciously trying to make it look like they weren't spying.

"Uhh, nothing John," Stacy piped up. "Great to see you!" She chirped, hugging him tight.

"Great, to um, see you too," John replied, confused at the way she was acting.

"So have you seen Trish, we have English first, I wanted to walk her to class since her and Chris had that fight," he said, unaware the couple had just made up.

"Erm, I dunno where she is, I think she left already," Randy lied, trying to cover up John's view of Trish and Chris.

John shifted his eyes from Randy to past his shoulder. That's when he saw her, lip locking with…Chris. What!? He couldn't believe her. She made up with him after he said all that crap to her!? How the hell could she be so naïve?

John pushed past Randy and made his way over to Trish.

Trish was still embraced with Chris, but opened her eyes after feeling John's presence. She pulled away and gave him a big smile.

"Johnnyyy!" she exclaimed and threw herself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her, but did not hold her as he would normally do.

"Hey T, Chris," he gave a nod, acknowledging the bastard. Chris gave a small smile.

"We have English now J.C, walk me?" she said, completely shooting down any chances of Chris walking her.

"Erm, I thought Chris would, right?" John said, much to Trish's disbelief.

He never gave up the opportunity to walk her anywhere. It was weird of him to do that. Trish looked at John, and then at Chris who just shrugged. Trish let go of John, but keeping one hand on his side.

"Oh okay then, we better go then Chris, meet you there John," she said, with a hint of sadness in her voice. She and Chris walked off hand in hand, leaving John watching on.

"What happened?" Randy asked as he and Stacy joined John in front of Trish's locker.

John just shrugged. "She forgave him."

--

John tapped his pencil against the desk. He was sure as hell bored out of his mind. Clearly no one was paying attention, even Trish. He glanced around the room. Randy and Stacy making lovey-dovey eyes at each other, Maria; whoa, she looks good today, staring blankly into space, Dave Batista slumping in his chair as Candice and Torrie made eyes at him, Carlito swirling a pencil through his afro, Jay and Adam flicking rubber bands at each other, Paul and Shawn putting 'kick me' signs on Coach's back…and Trish. Beautiful, delicate, innocent Trish. Leaning on an arm, either writing sweet nothings on her page or actually taking notes. John smiled discreetly before looking back Mr. Long. Just as he was about to cave and die of boredom, folded up piece of paper flung across his desk. He caught it before it could go any further. John opened it up and read it.

Bored are we? What ya thinking bout Champ? x

John laughed to himself. Trish was so cute. He quickly scribbled an answer and threw it back before Mr. Long could notice. Trish unravelled it as John had scrunched it up messily.

Lol. About a girl that catch's my eye every time I look at her.

Trish wrote back quickly, waiting for the right opportunity before throwing it back. John opened it, surprised at her answer.

Haha! Yeah, I saw the way you were looking at Maria, you two would look hot together! Ps, way to scrunch up the note loser! Jks. x

John arched an eyebrow and shot her a look. He meant Trish, not Maria. He poked his tongue out at her. Trish just giggled and looked down. He threw back the ball of paper.

Very funny Missy! Way till Friday, you'll receive your punishment then! Haha x

Trish swallowed when she read it. Wait till Friday. Okay, it was now or never. She scribbled her confession down and threw it back, hoping for a response.

John, Chris has asked me last week to a family dinner on Friday and to go shopping straight after school…I can't do John and Trish night this week. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier. :[

John's heart sank. She was just adding to his wounds. He scrunched up the note without writing anything and propped his head up with his elbow, concealing his face from her. Trish noticed and immediately felt so bad. The change over period bell rang and everyone stood up, exiting. John quickly got up and scurried out of the room to get away from Trish, even though he had his next class with her. Trish just sat there, blanked out. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You had to tell him sooner or later honey," Stacy comforted her. The two girls stood up and exited the room with Randy.

--

History seemed to go for a lifetime, so to speak for the rest of the day. John hadn't spoken to her, or even looked at her. At lunch he sat with Jeff, Matt, Amy and Maria. Trish waited by Stacy's locker. They were going shopping for dresses. Trish hoped that John would speak to her soon. It seemed like lately they were fighting more than ever! It never used to be like this. What changed between us? Stacy finally came over.

"Sorry, got caught up with Randy," she merely said.

"Trust," Trish scoffed, before seeing John approach her. Stacy noticed and awkwardly said she forgot to tell Randy something.

"Hey," John greeted her softly.

"Hey," She replied.

"It's okay, I don't mind about Friday." He said. Trish took a breathe in.

"Thank you," she replied. John hugged her tight and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Trish looked into John's eyes before pecking him on the lips.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," she apologized.

"It's ok," John nodded. "We're best friends. No secrets remember? You can tell me anything, even if you think it'll hurt me," he whispered as she buried her head into his neck. She nodded so he could feel it.

"Love you forever plus a day," Trish whispered into his body.

"Love you too, T," he whispered back, even though he really wanted to scream it so everyone knew.

"Sorry to break up this love fest, but I just wanted to say, I'm glad you two worked things out," a voice said.

Trish and John looked up, John baffled by who owned the voice.

"Chris? You are?" John said.

Chris nodded. "Yeah, Trish, you're my girlfriend," he said pulling her away from John into his arms. "And John, we're friends, right?" John nodded. "Well I can't have my girlfriend and my friend fighting…especially when they are best friends, I mean whose side would I take?" Chris said, much to Trish and John's amazement.

Trish looked at him. "Wow, and all this time I thought you had a thing against mine and John's rela…friendship!" Trish giggled.

"Now what would make you think that?" Chris chuckled before kissing Trish's lips. He pulled away from her and did a man-hug with John.

"We cool?" Chris said. John nodded.

"Yeah, we cool."
