This chapter may be about Flicka and John getting together, but it plays a role in the whole story. This gives Becky and Cody a chance to relax a bit anyway. I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Flicka's POV

Why did Cody leave me with him? He knows that I like him. Wait till I get my hands on that……boy!

"John, why do you down yourself like that? I know you are not a beast." I told John.

He said "You are too kind. I don't know why I do this. I just feel like I can't get anybody."

Man, he needs some cheering up. I don't really know what to say.

"Thank you for giving me a ride home. You should have told Cody off by dumping me on you like this." I said.

"No, it isn't a problem. I am glad to take you home. Cody must have a lot on his mind though." He told me about how Cody was so sad after him and Becky broke up.

"Becky has a tough choice to make, but I think she needs to get to know Ted better before deciding anything." He said.

"I believe she is by the way we were talking. She is making sure she is more careful, but I don't really know. She was completely taken away by Randy the last time. Becky is getting through these break-ups like a real pro. I hope she does not get hurt again." I said.

John gave me a hug and said "She is going to be OK and so is Cody. Ted seems like he means what he says though. Well, anyways I heard someone say that I look like an Ape. Is that true?"

I was hesitant to answer. I was the one who called him an Ape earlier this year. I hated him at first, but I slowly warmed up to him.

"Yeah, well about that, you see I didn't know you earlier and you do kind of resemble a monkey, but a cute adorable monkey, well I don't know." I babbled like a crazy person.

"It is alright Flicka. You can tell me the truth, adorable? Did you just say that I was adorable?"

Uh-Oh I screwed up. What if he finds out I like him? What would Becky do? What would Angel do?

"I … guess I did. What's wrong with me giving you a simple complement?" I covered up.

But he leaned in and as we were walking, he almost kissed me, I think. But he didn't. He tripped and fell. It was kind of funny actually.

I laughed right after I asked him if he was alright.

"Yes I am fine. I guess I better watch where I am going." He laughed with me.

John's POV

I can't believe I tripped! It was right in front of her too! Man, I need to pay more attention on where I am going.

I laughed with her. She looks so cute. At the beginning of this year I made her life a living hell. I thought I hated her, but now I like her. She started those rumors about me though.

But what's past is past and there is no need to remember it anymore. As we were getting in my car, I bluntly asked her to go with me to the party that night.

"Sure, it sounds fun, maybe we will bump into Cody, Jeff, Becky, and Angel there, hopefully." She smiled as she said it.

I wanted to say yes it will be fun because you are going to be there, but I am a coward. I don't know exactly what to say. But, I have to be a man some time right?

I told her quickly "Flicka, I like you."

There was a moment of silence and then she said as if she didn't understand "Thank you, I like you too."

Man, I need to tell her that I like her more than just friends.

Then I tried to tell her "Flicka, I mean I like you more than just friends."

Silence again, man, I hope that she don't find me weird or disgusting or revolting.

To my surprise, she said, "John, I really like you the same way as well. You might think me strange because I hated you at the beginning and I always thought that you hated me."

"I did at first, but when I got to know you, I started to fall for you." I said.

When we got to the party, I leaned over and kissed her lips. I can't believe I just did that. But she let me and for a while we kissed away.

When we finally got out of the car, we actually ran into Cody, Becky, Jeff, and Angel.

They asked us question after question. It sounded like they set this whole thing up. If they did, they are clever.

I told them "Flicka and I are together now. I have a question did ya'll set this up?"

Becky and Cody answered "Yes we did."

Becky said "You better not hurt Flicka in any way, shape, or form or you will answer to me and my gang here. Got it?"

She scares me in every way shape and form anyway. I quickly responded with "I got it, don't worry I will try not to hurt her."

"I hope you two don't go around acting like monkeys" Angel joked.

"Who's calling who a monkey? You two have more monkey attributes than me or Cena" Flicka joked back.
