Chapter 14: Sadness and secrets

Monday at school, news was buzzing about Roy and Jade's breakup. It was quite surprising to people and some were sad, some were glad.

Ever since the breakup, Jade spent the rest of her weekend in her room crying. Today at school, she seemed better and a lot more composed.

Roy on the other hand was miserable on the inside. He put on a good act of being fine on the outside though. He was so focused on his reputation that he pretended to be happy. But it was obvious to everyone that his act wasn't fooling anyone. They all knew, especially Roy himself, that he would do anything to get his Jade back.

During third period passing hour, Roy had stopped by Jade's locker. She turned to him and slammed her locker shut. "Sorry I got to go."

She began walking off and Roy caught up with her. "Hey, wait. Uhh..I was thinking we could maybe talk?"

"Another time. I'm really busy. Bye." She walked into her geometry class and left a dumbfounded Roy behind. Roy turned around and slammed his fist against the locker. Some students jumped in fear as others whispered around.

Richard and Kori soon caught up with a fuming Roy. Kori gave him a light hug and he returned it. "Hey Kor."

"You seem angry." She said.

Roy snorted and stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Yeah, I just feel lost without her..."

"Dude, all you have to do is buy her clothes and tell her you love her." Explained Richard.

Kori hit him on the shoulder. "You're so dumb! No wonder you don't have a girlfriend." She said jokingly.

Richard scowled at her and she stuck out her tongue.

"It's just hard to believe were actually broken up."

"I know..we'll help you get her back, right Richard?" Kori said to Richard.

He looked at her like she was crazy. But after she gave him 'the look' he sighed and said, "Right."

Roy smiled even though he didn't want too. "Thanks guys you're the best."

Jus then the bell rang and the three teens scattered for their destinations.

Vic,Karen, and the others sat in Drama class with Mrs. Carter. She was a pretty lady, with blonde hair and blue eyes and sort if resembled Julianne Hough. She was really nice and fun too. Everyone loved her, especially the guys.

They were currently practicing improv up on the small stage in the classroom. Rachel and Seymour Johnson were up there acting out a love scene in which Seymour was pouring his feelings out for her, much to Rachel's dismay.

It was clear to everyone that Gar was slightly jealous considering he was in the back, arms crossed, glaring at Seymour.

"You're beautiful," Seymour recited on one knee as Rachel rolled her eyes, "intelligent, one of a kind." by now he stood up and took both of her hands in his own.

Richard snickered with Vic, Roy, Alain, and Wally knowing fully that Rachel was about to smack him. Unless Gar got to him first.

"More passion, Seymour!" Mrs. Carter announced with spirit. She walked around her desk, her black pumps making a click clack sound.

"What I'm trying to say is...I love you, Rachel." He looked into her eyes that were full of boredom and annoyance.

Gar shot up from his desk and said, "Alright I think that's enough dude!"

Richard, Vic, and the rest of the guys tried to hold in fits of laughter. Rachel said a slow "Whatever." And went to sit back down. Seymour glared at Gar and shrugged his shoulders. Mrs. Carter went to the front of the room and her silver hoop earrings dangled slightly as she walked.

"Okay, who's next?" She asked. No one said anything. Instead, most students shrunk back in their seats.

She sighed and clasped her hands together sweetly. "Okay. Fine. I'll pick."

The students prepared themselves to perform the embarrassing improv love scene. No one really liked drama class because most people were too embarrassed to participate. The whole class was made up of freshmen.

"Alright...lets see...Jade Nguyen," jade groaned quietly and The girls laughed. Roy's eyes widened as he knew whoever was going to act out a love scene with his girlfirend-ex girlfriend, would make him jealous to no end. He was about to raise his hand until Mrs. Carter finally said, "and Fang Peterson!"

The whole class was quiet. Fang was no good. He was the definition of bad. And Roy. Was. Pissed. Everyone could tell too. Kori, who was sitting behind him put a hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Stay calm. It's not real."

He let those words sink in and watched Fang as he slowly moved to the stage in front of Jade with his hands in his pocket and a smirk on his face. Richard ad the guys kept looking up on stage and back at Roy. Whenever it came to another guy and Jade, Roy was always on protective mode.

"You may begin. And when you recite the words, do it with compassion. As if this was the real thing. It'll help you in the future!" Mrs. Carter had a certain twinkle in her eyes. I guess she was the only teacher who didn't know about the whole Roy/Jade breakup. Or she was just evil.

Fang stepped closer to her and took one of her hands. "Jade," he said with a certain softness in his voice. She looked up at him in all seriousness. "You are my one true love."

You could practically see the steam coming out of Roy's ears. "I swear..." He whispered and Wally turned around and gave him an apologetic look.

"I think you're amazing, kind, beautiful..." Fang spoke with all seriousness. It was like he really had feelings for her.

It's amazing how all of that could change with just a few words.

"Wanna have sex?" Fang winked at her and she blinked to process what he just said. "C'mon baby, how bout it?"

Jade pulled her hand away and slapped him across the face. The whole class gasped as Fang's friends laughed.

Roy ran out of his seat and up on the stage. He pushed Fang back against the wall and Vic and Richard quickly shot up after the ginger.

"Don't touch her ever again!" Roy yelled as Fang simply smirked his annoying smirk at him.

Vic and Richard pulled Roy back as Jade cautiously took her seat. Mrs. Carter ran up the stage and separated the two boys. "Fang. Office. Now. Roy, take your seat please and calm down."

Roy reluctantly let go and Fang rolled his eyes as he left the room. Jade kept her eyes on her desk as Roy made his way back to his seat. Jenny leaned over to her and whispered, "Are you okay?" Jade looked at her and nodded.

And she was okay. For now.

After school, Kori and Richard ha decided to walk to the nearby pizza parlor. It had just opened up and they wanted to try it out. Right now, they were sitting in a booth across from each other sipping some Dr. Pepper.

"So," he started, "what did you think of the little feud between Fang and Roy today?"

Kori propped her arms up on the table. "Well, it was really disrespectful of Fang to say such a thing."

"Yeah, it was. If I was Roy I'd be pissed too." Richard said.

"He had a right to be...I mean he misses Jade like crazy. Maybe she just needs time."

Richard twirled his straw around in his cup and nodded. Then, their medium cheese pizza arrived. They each took a slice to test it out first and almost died.

It was amazing. Of course, they went back for seconds. They had to tell the group about how good this place was later on.

"This is sooooo good." Kori said as she took another bite of her second piece.

"I know. I'll be coming here a lot more often." They both laughed and finished their pizza. After they were done, there was only two pieces left so they took a take out box as they waited for their ride to arrive.

Kori stuffed her hands in her pockets as a cool breeze blew through. She contemplated on bringing up what she wanted to say but considered the risks. 'Maybe he wouldn't be...mad? Why would he be mad! Geez Kori...' Her conscious said.

Kori shook her head and Richard looked at her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and said, "Are you cold?"

She nodded and kept her eyes on him. "Yeah..it's just..."

He waited for her to finish. "What...?"

"Well..." Kori looked at him, her eyes serious.

Richard started to look worried and he let go of her waist. He stared at her and asked, "Kor, what's wrong..."

She waited and turned away from him. All he saw was her long red hair and her white hat that hung loosely on her head. Then, she turned her head only giving Richard a side view of her face. Finally she said,

"I know you're Robin."
