And now on to the story.
That Friday during lunch, Troy, Jake, Noah and Emma headed over to the cafeteria and just as they enter, Roy snaps his fingers and yells stop. Troy, Jake, Noah, and Emma stop in a straight line, the other three glance over at Troy but Roy is not paying any attention to them as he searches the floor. "There it is!", he exclaims, he drops to his hands and knees and scoots across the floor and he captures the bug and lets it roam over his hand.
The freshman he had bullied the other day thanked him as he brings over the container and Roy gently places the bug back into the container. The former bully faces the crowd and states, "No matter how small, everything deserves respect." and he, Barry, and the freshman sit at a table together admiring the bug.
"Did something happen to them?", Troy asked as the three sat down at their usual table.
"Oh, Creepox tried to attack them and Howie stood up to them.", Noah told them, just before the group of friends began to eat.
"Well as long as they have seen the light.", Troy said looking slightly worried, "I just wonder what's going to be coming our way after Creepox."
Jake chuckles "Dude, relax. Just enjoy the party tonight! We had a big win!" Troy realizes Jake is right and gives a smile, "By the way, where are Sky and Gia?"
"Their last two classes were cancelled for the day, so they went ahead and make preparations for the party.", Emma explained.
Over at the mall, Sky and Gia were standing in front of the Sweets Shop. "I heard that this place is popular, but is it okay for a guy to go in there?", he asked a little uncertain.
"It's completely okay. Why wouldn't it be?", Gia asked as she and a now determined Sky entered the Sweets Shop. Inside the two shared some cake before they headed out to buy party supplies, plastic cups, snacks, drinks and the like.
"That was rather sweet...", Sky said as after he payed the cashier who was placing the supplies in paper bags.
"You didn't like it?", Gia asked as she helped him carry all of it.
"I don't hate having sweets... But aside from cookies or some ice cream, I don't really have them that often, so I was surprised at how sugary it was.", he said, holding the paper bags in his arms, "But I promised you that we would be getting some sweet to eat the other day."
Gia's green eyes widen as she realized Sky remembered that she had said she wanted to have something sweet to eat. "Still, it was like having a lump of pure sugar in my mouth. Emma sometimes gives me sweet snacks once in a while. She said that she'd be screwed if she eats any more, then shove them at me..."
It was then that they were interrupted by someone calling his name, and they were approached by two girls from their class. "Oh, hey! Uhm... you two...", Sky said, he had heard there names before, but he couldn't remember them at this moment.
"Omigosh, I'm like, so jazzed to run into you here.", the first one said before she and her friend saw Gia standing there.
"Say, why are you here with Jake's girlfriend?", the second one asked, earning a glare from Gia, "Like, stop stealing all the single guys when you've already got one for yourself!" The glare the three girls were giving each other increased with the intensity of a thousand suns.
"I am not Jake's girlfriend.", Gia said angrily at them.
"That's just some stupid rumor, something you shouldn't be listening to.", Sky said, "Now if you'll excuse us, Gia and me have to prepare for tonight. A good day to you.", he and his friend then left the two girls
"Huh? Hey!..."
"I said good day!", Sky said over his shoulder as they exited the mall.
Not much later, the two were walking towards Sky's house. "Sorry about what happened back there.", the black haired guy said with an expression that stated he felt guilty for their run in with those girls. It turned into one of relieve when Gia told him it wasn't his fault, "I'm glad to hear you say that. I overheard people saying things about me, too... All this about me showing off and taking my friend his girlfriend..."
"I wish there was a way we could put a stop to these rumors.", Gia muttered irritated.
"Yeah... Still I had fun today.", Sky said with a smile, "It's nice to have sweet things once in a while. Maybe we could eat something sweet again sometime. Like... Pancakes."
"Pancakes?", Gia turned to him surprised.
"I like them. What? Doesn't that seem like the kind of food I would like?", Sky asked with a self-depreciatingly laughter, Gia is looking his way as he talks, not noticing that a car comes speeding down the road as she steps into the street.
Sky dropped his bags, spilling bags of chips and soda cans over the street as he reached out and pulled Gia back. The two fall back on the side walk as the car sped off.
"The fuck... That was scary...", Gia said, still looking stunned as they picked themselves up and began putting everything back in the paper bags. "Oh... You're hurt..."
Sky looked down and noticed that he skinned his palm slightly when he fell down. "Why... Why did you help me!? What were you gonna do if you died!?", Gia snapped at him, turning angry all of a sudden.
"So it would have been okay if you died!?", Sky said back, standing up with all the bags in his arms.
"That's not what I meant!", Gia protested, trying to find the right words, "I mean... I mean, you are... What would I do if you died? I'm tired of all this! I'm sick of all the people around me dying!" she looks like she's about to cry before she suddenly turned around and run away.
Later that day after school, Troy, Jake, Noah and Emma arrived at Sky's house early to help him setting up, "I am done with most of the preparation, so just sit back and make yourselves at home.", Sky said placing the bowls of chips on the snack table.
"No way? Is this real?", Emma exclaimed. She was looking through the CD's laying on the the stereo system, holding up a particular one. Sky gave a nod at this, "How did you get the new Kira Ford album? This one isn't suppose to be released for another month.", she exclaimed looking on the back CD.
"Well Emma, you might think I am a wizard. But that is not true... I never got that invite to Hogwarts.", Sky said, handing each of his friends a can of soda, "You see, I knew this New Zealand guy who worked at a music store from when I lived in Briarwood who had connections, he claimed to know Kira Ford herself, but I seriously doubt that... Anyway, he owed me a few favors, so I gave him a call, and a few days later, here it is.", he finished explaining.
"Whoa, Jason, you have a pool!?", Noah asked, looking out of the sliding door leading to the backyard.
"And a hot tube.", Sky pointed out.
"By the way, where is Gia?", Jake asked.
"She... Went home... Not sure if she is coming.", Sky told them.
The other guests start to arrive. They busy themselves doing typical party things dancing to music, socializing with members of the opposite sex, and playing a game called beer pong. "Want to give it a go?", Jake asked Sky, who had been talking with him and Noah as they watched Troy dancing awkwardly with Emma. He gave a nod and the trio walked over to the pong table. Two burly looking guys from Jake's soccer team stand at the other end.
"All right Sky, me and you versus them.", Jake said both him and Sky had the same grin as they stared their opponents down, "We are gonna whup their butts!" he picks up a pong ball, and tosses it right into one of their cups, making the other two look a little worried.
The game goes back and forth for a while, the two jocks are pretty good, but Sky manages to hit their last cup before they get through theirs.
"Victory!", Sky and Jake exclaimed, giving each other a high-five, the two jocks looked mesmerized, and just as they were about to ask for a rematch, Sky felt someone tap his shoulder. Turning around he found himself looking into the green eyes of Gia.
"Hey, Gia. Glad you came.", Sky said with a genuine smile as Jake and Noah greeted her too.
"Yeah, thanks... Sky can we talk in privet?", she asked. He gave her a nod, excusing himself and he walked with her through the open door into the backyard.
"Look Sky, sorry about earlier today... You saved me twice now and I keep bombarding you with all this personal stuff all the time...", Gia said, looking rather embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm a little confused..."
"Hey, it's alright. That's what friends are for right?", he said with a smile.
"Yeah friends... Well, never mind. So let's do some party stuff.", she said, a little disappointed at the friends part, before she dragged him back into the house.
The two went to get a drink, Sky went to fetch them both a bottle of beer, and seeing what it is, her eyes narrow a bit. "If you don't want this, I can put it back.", he said.
"No, no it's alright. This is a party after all, and people at parties... drink.", Gia said, taking the bottle from him and she tries to get the top off. Sky takes it back from her, using his own bottle to open hers.
"Thanks. Well, bottoms up.", Gia said as they took a big gulp, making Gia looks like she just got hit in the stomach with a truck. A look of nausea appears on her face, and Sky has a horrible vision of her hurling in front of all these people. It passes, however.
"Oh boy. That's really good. Goes down smooth.", Gia said taking a few more sips, and shivers. She then puts the bottle on the table and grabs his collar, dragging him towards the dance floor. A new song comes on and she turns around.
"Put your arms around my waist.", she told him and Sky did so, very gently. She smiles, and wiggles her butt up against him. It takes every ounce of his self control for Sky not to gasp. She grinds against him to the rhythm of the song, and Sky sway his body back and forth in time.
She reaches up, and caresses his cheek, "Whoa, your really a good dancer.", she said.
"There are people who would disagree with you.", Sky said with a proud smile and as the song ends Gia pulls away from him, he noticed that she's blushing.
Gia rubs her elbow, and looks away, "Maybe this will put an end to the rumors."
"Maybe.", Sky added, before noticing a distressed looking Emma rushing out of the house through the front, a just as worried Troy following her.
