20. Curtain Call

Joe POV

I walked towards first period. What a weekend. I can't believe all those girls moved on so fast. Just goes to show you how long crushes can last. I stepped into the classroom and froze. Sydney was sitting on the desk next to Joleena. And they were... talking? Were they fighting again? I rolled my eyes and tried to hide my slight joy at the fact that they were into me again. I paced over and sat down in my seat. They seemed oblivious to me. Weird. I didn't even hear what they were talking about, but I assumed it was me.

"Girls, girls, I thought we were past this. Won't your boyfriends be mad?" I couldn't help but smile a little bit as I tried to reason with them.

They gave me blank stares. "What are you talking about?" Joleena asked.

"What do you think we're doing?" Sydney added suspiciously.

"Well, I assumed that-"

"We were fighting over you?"

"Well, yeah."

"That's a bit cocky, don't you think?"

"What were you talking about then?"

They shrugged and looked at each other. "Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Pretty much."

"How could you be talking about nothing? Just last week you two were ready to rip each others throats out over me. You can't be cool with each other enough to talk about nothing!" My voice got louder than I had meant it too and a few people glanced my way.

"And why not?"

"Because! You're girls! Girls who hated each other just last week! You can't become friends that fast! Girls don't do that."

"Okay, now you're just being borderline sexist."

"Seriously."

I sighed, this was really frustrating, "So, you two are... friends?" I looked back and forth between them.

They glanced at each other, as if they weren't even sure of that yet, "I guess."

"We actually have a ton of stuff in common," Joleena said.

"I guess we just never really had the time to talk before, because we were... distracted," Sydney said and they exchanged embarrassed glances.

"I'll say," I added.

"Oh, and just to avoid the shock for you later, Josie kinda bonded with us too."

"What?" I asked.

"We actually talked about it and if we could, we would go back and change everything."

"Yeah, and just be friends from the beginning."

I shook my head. I was too stunned for words.

Fred POV

Fred closed his locker and began walking to his class. He saw a group of girls standing near the drinking fountain. He recognized them immediately. He paced over to them.

"Hey girls." Fina, Kairi, Miranda, and Brianna looked up at him. "I know there is probably nothing I can do to get you to forgive me for what I did. Hell, I don't even deserve your forgiveness really. But I truly am sorry, and I'll never be able to say that enough times in my entire life to show you how sorry I really am. I deserve everything you did to me and more. I;m just... really, really sorry for using you and hurting you. I never once meant to, and I deeply regret everything that happened. If I could go back in time, I would change it all and never have done it in the first place. You have to believe me, please." He pleaded with them.

The girls looked at each other.

"Actually, we had forgotten all about that," Miranda said.

"Yeah, we just started hanging out and we became good friends," Fina spoke.

"Besides the fact that we used to like you, we have a lot in common," Kairi added.

"We should probably be thanking you for making us become friends," Brianna finished.

Fred stared at the girls, jaw dropped, "Really? So, you're not mad anymore?"

"Well ,we definitely don't like what you did, but we're over it."

"Yup, so don't worry about going back and changing it. We actually wish we could go back and become friends sooner."

"So, thank you, Fred. We forgive you."

Sam POV

I walked into the cafeteria to grab some breakfast before school started. I went straight to the end of the line and waited. Our cafeteria had two entrances to it, one came from the main hallway, and one cam from the parking lot outside. Simultaneously, Cade and Lisa walked in through separate doors. Their eyes instantly locked onto each other. Oh god. Did they still hate each other? I hadn't seen them even talk since the big show. I felt incredibly guilty. I was basically the reason they weren't speaking anymore. If it wasn't for me, they would still be friends. Curse my likability.

I gingerly stepped forward as the two girls, ignoring each other, walked towards the line. I had to make this right.

"Girls." Their heads turned in my direction.

"Oh. Hey, Sam." They spoke unenthusiastically, definitely not how they would have reacted just last month.

"How are you?"

"Fine. You?" They gave each other half-second glares for speaking at the same time again.

"I'm good." I looked at the girls, feeling nothing but pity, "Listen, let's talk."

"We told you, Sam, we're not interested anymore." Cade said.

"Yeah, it's not like you didn't want this to happen. You've never really liked us." Lisa followed.

"Well, maybe not the way you wanted me too, but I still liked you both as friends."

"What's your point?"

I sighed, "Look, I feel really bad about you two not being friends anymore because of some silly little fight over me, and now you don't even like me anymore, so it's like you two are mad at each other for no reason." They glanced at each other. "Just, please, make up already and become friends again. Don't you miss each other at all? You used to be so close."

"Well..."

"I don't know."

I gave them my best puppy-dog look. "Please?"

They both burst out laughing, "Okay, okay. Just get that stupid look off your face. You look like you just ate a hundred lemons or something." They calmed down and looked at each other.

"I'm sorry." Lisa went first.

"Yeah, me too. Friends?"

"Friends."

"We never should have fought in the first place."

"Agreed, if I could go back and change everything, I would."

They hugged and I grinned. Perfect.

TIME WARP

Sam; It's astounding, time is fleeting

Joe; Madness takes its toll

Fred; But listen closely

Josie; not for very much longer

Lisa; I've got to keep control

Brianna; I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling

All; Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again!

Rosa; It's just a jump to the left

All; And then a step to the right

Rosa; Put your hands on your hips

All; You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Charlie; It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all

Holly; In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all

Miranda; With a bit of a mind flip

Holly; You're into the time slip

Joleena; And nothing can ever be the same

Fina; You're spaced out on sensation

San-Li; like you're under sedation

All; Let's do the Time Warp again!

Sydney; Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink

Cade; He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.

Kairi; He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again

All; Let's do the Time Warp again!

Let's do the time warp again!

Rosa; It's just a jump to the left

All; And then a step to the right

Rosa; Put your hands on your hips

All; Bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Let's do the Time Warp again!

And that's it! I hoped you enjoyed it! I'm still debating on whether or not to do a sequel, I have stuff in mind, just not sure yet. Tell me what you think! Review!
