"Chyna! Chyna!" Hunter called out his friend, catching up to her and grabbing her arm. "I haven't seen you since Steph's birthday. What have you been up to lately?"
Chyna just smirked. She had on the smirk of a DX member moments after pulling a prank. "Just the usual stuff."
Hunter knew something was wrong. As far as he could remember, CHyna was really pissed during Stephanie's birthday. But before going to his next class, Hunter decided to pass by Stephanie's locker, hoping that she would be there and he can have a glimpse of her.
"Torrie," Stephanie whispered. "He's coming this way."
Torrie gasped at Stephanie's statement. She immediately pulled her close to her. "Don't look at him," she instructed.
"But – "
"We're going to talk to the girls first, remember?" Torrie reminded her. "You cannot have a rebel in school looking at you and you looking back at him."
But Stephanie could still see him in the corner of her eye. She could sense that he's not removing his eyes on her, even though he's constantly walking. "Well then I need to talk to the girls immediately," Stephanie said. "I don't think I can continue to ignore someone who did nothing bad to me."
"I don't think that's entirely true," Torrie said. "Don't you remember the car pranks? It was not just John's car but also your brother's. Oh wait; we don't exactly like Shane, do we?"
"Not until my birthday," Stephanie responded. "It's the first time that you guys collaborated with him and the first time that he did something good to me."
Lilian interrupted them and, "Steph, Tor, why are you two still chit-chatting here? We're going to be late!"
"Lil," Stephanie said. "After school, I'm going to tell you and Trish something."
Lilian was confused. "Torrie already knows what you're about to say, right? Why is that so?"
"Torrie stayed a little while after my party," Stephanie said. "And please, when I do tell you guys, please hear me out."
Lilian nodded and turned to Torrie who just shook her head. Just then, Trish came storming into the classroom.
"You're late Miss Stratus!" Mr. Piper said, taking a time off from writing on the board.
Trish was catching her breath. "Yeah, I know, but on my way here, I saw a little girl in the Bio lab trying to catch her frog. She couldn't do it so I helped her."
Mr. Piper shook his head. "Stop your silly stories and sit down."
Trish sat in front of Stephanie who was giggling and she whispered to her, "We have a small meeting after class. By the way, nice story."
Trish just nodded when she saw Mr. Piper's gaze.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Girls, I know we have a meeting but we've got soccer practice so let me change first," Trish said, running towards the locker room.
"So, what am I to expect in our little meeting?" Lilian asked as they sat in the bleachers.
"Major shock," Torrie said.
Stephanie elbowed her. "I just need your opinions."
Just then, they heard a familiar scream. They could recognize that scream even if they were in the middle of Disneyland. A scream that made them immediately stand up their seats and rush to the locker room. There, they saw Trish, covered in green paint.
"What happened?" Stephanie asked. She pulled out a tissue so that Trish could wipe her face.
"I opened my locker and then this stupid green thing squirted all over me!" Trish whined. "Someday, I'm gonna have that DX arrested."
"Arrested?" Stephanie was shocked. "Are you even sure that it's them?"
"They're the only one who does these things to people," Lilian said.
"I still think it's not right to pre-judge them," Stephanie said.
"Well I thought you're with me," Trish said, wiping off her tears. "The last thing I need right now is my friend protecting my offenders."
"I'm not protecting them…" Stephanie said. "It's just that… I need to go home. Our meeting… We'll find another time."
When she left, Trish and Lilian have confused look on their faces. "Seriously, what is up with her?" Lilian asked.
XOXOXOXOXO
Hunter was waiting for Stephanie to come home. He was standing right across the street. Earlier when he passed by her locker, he didn't expect her not to look his way. Finally, her car came into view and so did she.
"Steph! Stephanie!" Hunter called out.
Stephanie turned around. "I don't even know how you did that and I don't even know why you're here right now, talking to me."
Hunter's smile faded. "What do you mean?"
"Are you gonna tell me that you did not squirt green paint on Trish?" Stephanie said.
"I... We did not do that," Hunter said. "We haven't been pulling pranks lately and as you may have noticed, I'm not in detention."
"Then who did it?" Stephanie asked and turned away from Hunter.
"I don't know," Hunter called out. "All I know is that I wouldn't do that to you or to your friends. I would never do anything to hurt you."
Stephanie rolled her eyes. "You already did, thrice."
Hunter didn't even want to count. "Well I told you, I didn't do it," Hunter said. "And the two was before – "
"Before what?" Stephanie asked sarcastically.
"Before I realized that I love you," Hunter said. When he saw the rolling of her eyes, he quickly said, "You know I'd do anything to you. I'd change for you."
Stephanie rolled her eyes again. "Prove it."
Hunter leaned towards her and his lips touched hers. He could feel that Stephanie was stiff. They noticed a flash of a camera and broke up.
Melina came right out of the bushes. "This would look good in the front page our school paper," she said with a smirk on her face.
