Chapter 20 Last School Day Party

Mr. Castle walks into the cafeteria again, he hasn't seen the girls coming out and became curious about their results, "girls, have you both passed?" He asks, they turn their heads and look at him with a smile, Baby gave him her envelope, Mrs. Flint and Mrs. Van Dyck are watching them, "that's great, business management is your best class, Baby," he says, he looks at Mrs. Van Dyck, who start to blush and he winks at her, "she'll be having that business up in no time," Mrs. Flint says, "yeah, she wants to open a dance school with her fiancé," Mr. Castle says, Mrs. Flint looks at Baby again, "Frances told me you're Johnny's father, I never had a clue but now I see."

"You know my son?" He asks a little surprised, "yeah, I go on holiday to Kellerman's every year, I know Johnny from there," she says, the girls giggle a little, Chris rolls his eyes, "that's nice, I'll be going this year as well, for the wedding," he says, "and for a holiday and being a grandfather," Baby fills him up, "I've got nothing to say about it," he says, making them all laugh, "Congratulations on becoming a grandfather soon," Mrs. Van Dyck says, he looks at her and smiles, Baby looks at Jenny who winks and they giggle again, "girls, and Chris, go and have a little fun at the party, it has started in the gym," Mr. Castle says, "okay, senior," Baby says, Jenny and Chris help her standing up, Mr. Castle gives her a kiss on her forehead and Jenny a kiss on her cheek, "don't party too much, okay?"

The girls giggle and Baby takes his hand, they walk away, the two female teachers and Mr. Castle look after them with a smile, "she's so young," Mrs. Van Dyck says, Mr. Castle looks at her, "yeah, but she's so sure of her future and she loves my son a lot," he says, "I can imagine, Johnny is a nice guy," Mrs. Flint says, "and a great dancer," she adds and he chuckles, "I'm very proud of my son," he says and puts his hands in his pockets, "I had no clue about it, how comes you never told us?" Mrs. Flint asks, "it's a very long story, I might tell you one day, I need to go now, surveillance at the party, you too Clarissa." He says and looks at Mrs. Van Dyck, she nods as he walks away.

Clarissa sighs a bit, Mrs. Flint looks at her, "you know, you just can tell him what you feel for him," she says, "I don't know, Bianca, he seems so occupied with everything, I'm not even sure if he's interested," she says, "Clarissa, how long do we know each other?" Bianca asks, "too long," Clarissa says teasingly, they chuckle a bit, "isn't it about time to get into the dating world again? I mean, Rob died 5 years ago, you deserve happiness and he has been winking at you," Bianca says, "I don't think it means something," Clarissa says with a sigh again, "come with me to Kellerman's, you know I've been inviting you for years now, and Frances has invited you to her wedding as well," Bianca says, "I'll think about it, okay?" Bianca only nods at that.

Baby and Jenny sit down at a table, Chris went to get them something to drink, "Mrs. Van Dyck so likes senior," Jenny says with a giggle, it made Baby giggle as well, "yeah, she was very obvious, but I can't blame her," Baby says and Jenny giggles again, "stop it, Baby, I know what you're gonna say," Jenny says and Baby grins about it, "I think senior likes her too, he did wink at her," Jenny says, "yeah, could be, but he also just only could have flirt a little, Johnny is just like him sometimes," Baby says with a smile, "maybe, maybe not." Jenny says and they giggle again.

The live band is playing some nice dancing music, Baby want to dance but that's not possible at this moment, though she watches other people dance while rubbing her belly, "you know, at the start of the schoolyear I've been thinking to switch college," Jenny says and Baby looks at her, "why?" Baby asks curiously, "I've always wanted to study criminology, and Washington State University has the best study for that," Jenny explains, "you want to be a detective at the police force?" Baby asks, "I used to, it was a dream to help people in that way," she says and Baby takes her hand, "that's actually a great dream, fighting crime and helping innocent people."

"Yeah, but since I met you, and we became best friends, I don't want to miss you," she says, "that's sweet, Jen, but your future is important," Baby says, Jenny smiles, "I know, but Washington is far away and I would also be too far away from Billy, I don't want that, besides," she pauses a bit, Baby smiles only, "you've showed me that I also can help people in another way, and I decided that I like it here, so I'm going to finish my study," Jenny says, "but what do you want to do then?" Baby asks curious now.

"I don't know yet, but I'll switch to business management next year," she says with a smile, "why don't you go to the police academy after college?" Baby asks, "that's an idea, I might consider it, but I still have time to think about what I really want to do," Jenny says, "you'll figure it out, and Billy will support you in anything you want to do," Baby says, Jenny smiles and hugs Baby tightly, "thanks, Baby, for being my best friend, I never had friends before that treat me as family," Jenny says, Chris came back with drinks, the girls thank him and sip some, "what are you talking about?" Chris asks curious.

"About the future for a bit, Jenny told me that her dream is actually to become a detective at the police force," Baby says, Chris looks at Jenny and smiles, "sounds pretty exciting I must say," he says and Jenny smiles at him, "and you, Chris?" Baby asks, "oh, I don't know yet," he says with a sigh, "what was your childhood dream job?" Jenny asks, "fireman, becoming a hero, helping people and animals," Chris says, Baby smiles, "you still can become a fireman, you're still very young," Baby says, Chris chuckles a little and sips his beer, "no, but to be very honest with you, I love the idea of becoming a vet," he says, "sounds amazing too." Jenny says with a smile.

Mr. Castle is walking around, watching the students, keeping the peace, he sees a little commotion going on and walks to it, some guys were shouting at each other, "Boys, keep it down, let's be nice, okay?" He asks, they look at him and nod, he smiles and walks away again, he sees the girls sitting at a table with Chris, they're talking and he went to them.

"Having fun?" He asks, they look at him and smile, "hey, senior, yeah, I just miss dancing," Baby says and he smiles, "you'll be able to dance soon again, don't you worry about it," he says and Baby giggles a bit, he smiles at her now, "I need to go, keeping an eye out," he says, "okay, have fun," Baby says, he chuckles and gives the girls a kiss, he lays his hand on Chris' shoulder, "keep an eye on them." Mr. Castle whispers and walks away, Mrs. Van Dyck is looking around and she sees Mr. Castle, she smiles a little to see him so caring, it made her falling harder for him, she sighs a little.

"You want something to drink again, girls?" Chris asks, they look at him and smile, "sure, get us some," Baby says, Chris stands up and smiles, "be right back," he says and walks away, "you know, Baby," Jenny says and Baby looks at her, "I've seen Holly looking at Chris a lot, I think she likes him," Jenny whispers, Baby giggles and looks around to see if she can see Holly somewhere, "it would be good for him." Jenny only nods at that.

Later in the evening, Chris is a little tipsy and he's making jokes to make the girls laugh, Baby has her hands on her belly, "stop, Chris, I'm almost peeing," Baby says and Chris grins a little, "I like you like this, Chris, you're really funny," Jenny says and he chuckles, "I can't always be tipsy," he says, "you can be funny too without being tipsy," Baby says and he chuckles again, "do girls like that?" He asks, "girls love guys with a sense of humor, don't you like someone?" Jenny asks, "not really, here at college the girls are so weird, except for you two, all they want is party and make out," he says and looks at his drink, "don't you want to have some fun?" Baby asks, "not in this way, if I want to be with someone, I want something serious, someone to build a future with," he says, "that's very mature." Jenny says.

Peter and Colin look at them, seeing them laugh and having fun, they look at each other and Colin nods, they walk to them and Baby looks at them, so did Jenny, Chris turns around and sees them, his smile drops and he stands up, "having fun?" Peter asks as he folds his arms, Chris made fists now, "that's none of your concern," Chris says, trying to contain his anger, "chill, dude." Peter says, Colin came a little closer, he was keeping himself on a little distance on purpose.

"Why should I chill?" Chris says, Jenny stands up as well, Baby is closely looking at them and sighs deeply, "why are you here?" Baby asks, they look at her, Colin quickly looks away, "Baby, they're not worth it," Chris says, "Chris, please," Baby says, he sighs deeply, "they haven't been real friends, why would you care for why they come to us?" Chris asks, "I want to hear them out."

Baby looks at Peter, "so, why are you here?" Baby asks again, "we're not here for trouble," Peter says, Colin puts his hands in his pockets as he looks at Jenny now, "then why are you here?" Chris asks now, Peter sighs, "we're sorry for what happened back then and for what we did," Peter says, "we had no clue that Dave was such an asshole," Colin adds, Chris sighs deeply and sits down again, Baby lays her hand on his shoulder, "he can be very persuasive, he has a good way with words," Chris says, "yeah, we've discovered that," Peter says in agreement, Chris looks at him again, "you both don't really know him, I know him since kindergarten, and let me say this," Chris pauses a bit as he thought about the words from his mother and the girls, "he's real toxic, he's not a good person."

"I do wonder why you took his side when I warned him," Chris says and sips his beer, "I thought we were friends, and I felt really betrayed by the two of you," Chris adds and Colin sighs, "I'm really sorry, I was so happy that I finally got friends, but I've been ruining that," Colin says, Jenny is watching them closely, Baby takes Chris' upper arm and nudges him, "we would like to be friends again, but I guess you've got new friends now," Peter says as he looks at the girls, "Baby and Jenny are my best friends, I've never had such true and great friends before," Chris says, Baby smiles at him, "you both need to show that you're serious about being friends again." Chris says.

"They seem pretty serious about it, Chris," Jenny says, "they came to us and they even apologized, why don't you give them a chance?" Jenny asks, Chris looks down and sighs, "maybe, but they need to know the truth about Dave, I owe them that at least, even though they choose his side," Chris says as he looks at Jenny, she smiles and nods her head towards the two guys, Chris looks at them again, "sit down, I'll tell you."

They sit down and Baby turns a bit, Peter looks at her with a smile, "first, Dave never appears the way he shows people," Chris says, "what do you mean?" Colin asks, "Dave always comes across as a nice guy, but he has been a bully, he has been a thief, and he brought me into trouble a lot of times," Chris says, "but why were you friends with him?" Peter asks, "because no matter what he did, he did protect me as well, and I could tell him everything and he told me everything as well," Chris says and he looks at Baby now, "Dave has trouble with addictions and obsessions as well."

"What do you mean?" Baby asks curious, "Baby, we went to the same elementary and junior high school as you," Chris says and Baby's mouth drops, "I never knew," she nearly whispers, "of course not, you were too much into helping people, busy with other things than with boys," he says with a smile, "I remember de first day of elementary school, Dave and I walked around on the playground when we saw you walking to the building," Chris says, "Dave liked you, from the first moment he saw you, I just thought it was a little crush," he says, Peter and Colin look at him a little surprised, "but it wasn't a crush," Jenny says, "exactly, it became an obsession, I told him often to make a move, but he never dared," Chris explains, Baby sighs a little, "until this year," Baby says, Chris looks at her again, "yeah, until this year, at the start of the schoolyear he told me that he was going to make a move," Chris says, "and he was planning on how to do that, then we heard about the ball and he found that the perfect opportunity to make a move." Baby is only listening now.

"He wanted to ask you when we saw you in the mall," Chris says, Baby remembers that day, "until Johnny came into the picture, while Dave knew that you have a boyfriend, he still wanted to try, when he saw Johnny, I know he got scared of him but he never admitted that," Chris says, "yeah, Johnny looks really tough," Peter agrees and looks at Baby, "Johnny is very sweet, he's just very protective," Baby says with a smile, they smile at her, "when you said yes to him, to go with him to the ball, I could see he was getting his hopes up, I've been warning him for a long time to leave it, but somehow he couldn't."

"He was up to something, he never really told us what it was, but I knew it wasn't any good and I knew it had to do with you," Chris says, Colin and Peter nod at that, "all I know is that he wanted to ruin your relationship so you would run into his arms," Peter says, Baby looks at him, "Mr. Castle had heard us," Chris says, "he warned us that evening of the ball," Baby says, "anyway, he has changed for the worse, believe me," Chris says, the girls nod at him, Baby takes his hand, "during the ball, he didn't know how to do things, I wanted to warn him again, but then Johnny showed up and he snapped," Chris says, he empties his glass, "you know the rest."

Mr. Castle walks to them and sees Peter and Colin sitting at the table, they see him and got scared, "don't be scared, senior won't do anything, unless you want to do me harm," Baby says as she takes his hand, he smiles and gives her a kiss on her forehead, "it's just so weird to see a teacher around students so much," Colin says, "you know that he's my father-in-law-to-be, I think the whole school knows now," Baby says and Jenny giggles about it, "Baby, you should go to bed, you need rest."

"I know, but I was having fun, and now I want to clear the air with Peter and Colin, I'll be going soon, okay?" Baby asks, "sure, but don't make it too late, my son will kill me," he says with a wink, Baby giggles about it, he walks away again, "I think things are clear now," Jenny says, Baby nods and yawns, "let us bring you to bed," Chris says as he stands up, "thanks, Chris," Baby says as she stands up with their help, "have fun." Baby says as she looks at Peter and Colin, they nod.

They want to walk to the door when Colin stands up, he moves closer and Peter stands up as well, Baby looks at him, "mind if I join you?" Colin asks, "don't you want to party?" Baby asks curiously, "not really, it's quite boring without friends," Colin says and looks down, "what about Peter?" Baby asks as she looks at him, "he has the same, and just with the two of us, school has been boring," Colin says, Peter nods and tries to smile, Baby looks at Chris and he only nods, she looks at Jenny who only smiles, "you can join us, maybe you'll become friends one day, but don't complain if we're a little boring," Baby says, "you're everything but boring, Baby," Jenny says, "I agree." Chris says, the guys chuckles.

"Let's go." Chris says, "wait, I want to get some snacks and drinks for in the room, I'll be right back." Jenny says and walks away, Baby sighs a little and after a moment there was a loud bang and a scream.
