"Alright brothers. uh and sisters, today is a free day for anyone who
finished the project yesterday." The teacher of the art class, Hulk Hogan,
said. A few laughed at the joke. "At the end of the class I have an
announcement so let's get started at work then." The class began to work.
The project assigned was to draw either your hero or yourself in your dream
job or home. Jericho, naturally, drew himself in a hockey uniform but quite
wasn't done. Edge had done the same and was finishing the Toronto Maple
Leafs logo.
"Man, that's good." Edge looked over Jericho's shoulder.
"Yours too, but I can't decide a team." Jericho tapped his eraser on the desk.
"Do Toronto too." Edge shrugged. "Or the Rangers, your dad was on them."
"Yea, he was on the Kings too." Jericho sighed as he studied his work.
"The Kings? Get out, he played basketball like us too?" Edge laughed.
"No, speaking of which.." Jericho began but decided to go back to his picture.
"You know it's funny, there's the LA Kings and the Sacramento Kings. I wonder if the people in California ever get confused." Edge wondered as he finished the logo.
"Nah, I doubt it. One's hockey and one's basketball you know." Jericho added.
"True." Edge nodded. "So, have you decided a logo yet?" Edge asked, impatient.
"I'm not too sure of the King's logo, so I'll stick with the Ranger's." Jericho said and began to scribble away on his work of art. He finished in about 15 minutes. "There."
"Great job, it looks as cool as mine." Edge grinned. "Well, let's go turn them in." The two got up and walked to Hogan's desk, he was grading tests from another class.
"Here you are Mr. Hogan." Jericho said to get his attention.
"Oh hey boys." Hogan took the two drawings. "Say, that's pretty good. You know something, you two are some of the best in all the art classes. You've got lots of talent, and in more than one area might I add."
"Thank you." Edge grinned proudly at the compliment.
"Well, enjoy your fee time." Hogan nodded and the two sat back down.
"I'm gonna draw some stuff, what are you gonna do?" Edge asked.
"I think I'll get started on the homework. We have practice after school." Jericho said. "I like to not have homework after school anyway, so I try and do it in class or on the school bus." RVD looked over at him but was quiet as he drew away.
"That's a good idea, but I think I'll have fun." Edge replied peeking over RVD.
"Yea, this is about the only fun class there is." Jericho smirked and pulled out a book from his backpack and began to do the homework. RVD was behind in his picture, so he didn't talk too much or anything, he managed to finish moments before the bell.
"Oh, the announcement." Hogan reminded himself. "I'm sure you all know about the rally tonight, we'll there's also a BBQ in the quad at lunch, so don't forget it. After all, the food is free and there'll be time taken out of fifth period to make room for it."
"Alright"! Jericho clenched his fist in the air in victory.
"What?" Edge looked at him. "I get to miss English."
"Well I get to miss science. No chemistry, oh yea!" Jericho beamed. He hated science, and especially chemistry to a tee and one day less chemistry was heaven.
"See you at lunch." RVD left as Jericho walked off to history. He got there early because the class was near art and he sat down next to Lita.
"Hey Chris." She grinned as she looked up from a note from Trish.
"Hi." Jericho smiled back. The teacher stood writing on the board, it was Tazz.
"Alright class, today I hope to finish up on the American Revolution." He said as the bell finished ringing. "And remember, Monday is the test on the US Civil War." He turned around to see everyone was here. "Wow, no late or missing people, a first."
"Can we be rewarded with no homework?" Somebody asked, Lance Storm.
"No, sorry." Tazz grinned. "Ok, now let's get out the books and turn to page 593." The students got out the books and nothing but pages turning was heard.
"Uh, I forgot my book in my locker." Lita said. "Can I go get it?"
"No, I bet Matt Hardy is saying the same thing in his class." Tazz said and the class began to laugh. Tazz was one of the only teachers to let everyone have fun in class.
"Well what do I do then?" Lita asked after the laughter settled.
"Share with a neighbor." Tazz replied and Lita looked at Jericho. He noticed her and scooted his desk towards her as she placed the book on both desks.
"Thanks." Lita looked at Chris and he nodded back. She blushed a little bit.
"Read the pages then when everyone's done the questions will begin." Tazz said as he continued to write on the overhead again. Lita looked at Chris as he read. She had a small crush on him and that's why he had left Edge. But she knew he and Jericho were best friends and it would cause them problems and because Lita liked Chris she didn't want to see him and his good friend fight. So she decided to keep her feelings quiet from everyone, especially now that she and Matt were back together, for good. "Ok, time."
"Oh." Lita gulped, she had been daydreaming about her thoughts and hadn't read much of the page. She looked to see five questions on the overhead screen. Tazz asked the questions and people answered. But finally the last question came up and since it was always the hardest for last, nobody volunteered for the answer.
"Ok then, don't all ask me at once." Tazz said as he looked around. "Lita."
"What?" She tensed as everyone in the room turned to her. The pressure was on.
"Do you have the answer?" He asked and Lita looked at the board. The question was: Specifically, who was fighting who in the American Revolution. Lita began to think, she remembered reading that. "Well what is it?" Tazz asked as he watched her think.
"Was it Great Britain and the thirteen colonies because America wanted freedom and revolted against England and their monarchy?" Lita answered, unsure.
"Wow, that's a lot of information." Tazz looked shocked at her. Some laughed. "Ok, I guess you guys are ready for the test on Monday and remember that the homework is due tomorrow. So I'll give you time to do the assignment package for this week." Lita sighed with relief and everyone began to get out their papers and work on the homework. Lita sat there not moving, she hadn't done most of the homework and forgot book.
"Here you go Lita, you can borrow my book." Jericho said and Lita looked over at him as he placed the book on her desk. "I finished my homework last period."
"Thanks Chris." Lita tried not to blush as Chris smirked back at her. Jericho decided to do the math assignment for that day and just wait for lunch.
The year would be over in about two months so most of the classes and assignments were lighter so the kids would have more free time to study for finals or play a sport since the finals were also all on. Lita gave Chris his book back as he neared the end of the trigonometry problems. Lita watched him work for a few seconds and then noticed the clock and began to clean up. The bell sounded only minutes after and Jericho scurried to put all his things back and go to lunch. The line would build up quickly and Jericho wanted the good food, not leftovers. He got to the line and saw Matt Hardy near the front. He let Lita cut in. Jericho heard his stomach growling, he was starved. Jericho began to look around to find somebody to cut with but Lita saw him before he spotted anyone else.
"Come over here Chris!" She called and he noticed her. He smiled and ran over.
"Hey Matt." Jericho nodded as he came up to them in the line.
"How's it going?" Matt flashed a smile. He was a friend of Chris, but not a close one. Jeff was a better friend of Chris because they both were daredevils, but Matt just didn't like that about Chris, he could hurt somebody like Jeff or Lita, if not himself.
"Thanks again for letting me borrow your book." Lita said to Chris after a while.
"No problem." Jericho replied and Matt turned to Lita. They had been going out for a very long time and their relationship was very deep. But Lita still had that nagging monkey on her back that was saying 'get closer to Chris, become good friends'.
"Come on Lita." Matt said as they got into the cafeteria. They soon got their food and went to go hang out with their friends. Chris watched Matt lead Lita over to sit with Jeff, Christian and Terri. Jericho went outside and found RVD and Benoit.
"Where's everyone?" He asked, sitting down with them in front of the auditorium.
"Edge and Trish, Triple H and Steph." RVD reminded. Jericho nodded.
"Hey, while we're on the subject, do you think Jeff already asked Terri to the dance, or do you think I might have a shot?" Benoit asked. "Edge did with Trish."
"No, Jeff and Terri are close and I'd say they'll be going out by the summer." RVD replied. "Jeff told me in class that he really liked Terri and ever since that freak dumped her, there's been a buzz that she's jealous of Matt and Lita and really likes Jeff."
"Freak? You mean Goldust?" Benoit asked. "He transferred out remember?"
"They say they only come out at night, thank god we don't go to a school off Hollywood Blvd." Jericho joked. RVD laughed and Benoit smiled at the joke. They ate their lunch. "Oh yea, remember the BBQ in the quad guys!"
"I do, let's go." Benoit said as he finished his soda. "I'm hungry for more."
"Yes, free food!" RVD cheered as they threw out their trash and went over. Luckily there was still food, they got a burger and a free little bag of chips along with a cup of soda. "I tell ya, being a senior totally wreaks of awesomeness!"
"Hey, stick to your own catch phrases." Lance Storm said as he came over.
"Lance my man!" Jericho grinned. He, Benoit and Lance slapped a three way high five. "So I can see you already pigged out and didn't wait for us."
"Sorry man, hey, when food calls." Lance shrugged innocently.
"Jericho won't be too far off." Benoit added a joke to Lance's remark. They laughed. The three of them quickly finished their food so they could hang out.
"You excited about the game on Saturday, Chris?" Lance asked.
"You bet I am, we're playing for state like last year." Jericho beamed.
"Man, you sure are happy." Benoit grinned. "I want to be in a sport."
"That's right, I'm missing chemistry!" Jericho giggled like a little girl.
"Well, anyone who hated science would be happy about that." RVD agreed.
"What should we do now, I have no idea when class starts." Benoit asked.
"Let's go to the library, maybe we can play around on the computers" RVD suggested. So they went to the library but to no luck found any free computer. But it was just as well because the bell rang to go to what was left of fifth period. They all groaned.
"Well, if I survive hell I'll see ya later." Jericho waved as they walked off to their classes. Jericho went to class and found his lab partner, Triple H, already there. "You get detached from Steph so soon Hunter?" He joked as he sat down in the desk next to him.
"Yea, not that I wanted to." Triple H groaned. He wasn't a big fan of chemistry either, but he got pretty good grades whereas Jericho struggled to keep a D.
"Alright class, be quiet." The strictest teacher of all said and the class was silenced immediately. If you've guessed, you're right if you said Hardcore Holly. "Now, if we can finish the lab we started yesterday in the minimum time we have today I'll give you no homework." He said and everyone jumped, quietly, at the idea and went to their lab stations. "But with this as my worst class grade wise, I'll get the assignment ready."
"I can't wait until this class is over." Jericho shivered. "It's like getting fillings."
"Well then let's finish this lab quickly." Triple H agreed. Jericho got the lab station ready as Triple H filled in the information on the chart. They usually did it that way unless Jericho was the one to understand what was going on, and that was rarely. "Ok, we have to identify only two more substances and they aren't mixtures."
"I'll get the acid-base indicator." Jericho said and grabbed a small jar as Triple H got an eyedropper from the beaker next to him. "Man as soon as I take the final I'm forgetting all this bs I learned. And I think I speak for everyone with that remark."
"Agreed." Triple H nodded and took the correct amount of indicator into the beaker and dropped it into the two containers of mystery liquid. They watched them.
"Well?" Jericho leaned over to them. One was bubbling and fizzing, but the other wasn't doing anything. Jericho blinked at the calm one. "Do you think that one is water?"
"It has to be Chris. I'll write that down while you figure out what that last one is." Triple H began to write down their findings as Jericho looked down at the reacting substance. He cocked his head and looked at it carefully, trying to think of the answer.
"It looks like that first one we did that turned out to be a base." Jericho recalled but slightly sniffed the air. "But it doesn't smell sulpher-like so, uh." Jericho began to think but the liquid began to spit and it spit the fizzing bubbles right at Jericho's face. "Ah!" He covered his eyes, though none had went in them he wanted to keep it that way.
"Chris, are you ok?" Triple H dropped the pencil and The Rock and Kurt Angle looked over at them from the lab station by them. "What happened man?"
"It shot at me." He wiped his face and began to cough. "Yuck, it's gross!"
"You ate it?" Triple H was shocked, he knew Chris was dumb, but that stupid?
"No it shot at me!" Jericho stuck his tongue out. "It tastes like, gag, baking soda and lime juice. Disgusting, it needs salt and pepper!" He grabbed his neck and coughed.
"Wait, that means it must be an acid!" Triple H gasped. "We finished, no homework!" He patted Chris's back. "Are you ok man, maybe you need a drink?"
"Yea. Hurray." Jericho wheezed and went to the fountain by the sink and drank. "That gets rid of the aftertaste but man that leaves a sharp pain. Talk about you're bad."
"What's going on here." A voice cut Chris off and Hardcore came over and to none of his surprise saw Chris, everyone else froze and watched them. "Jericho?"
"Sorry." He coughed. "It sputtered stuff into my mouth." He cowered.
"Dam you, why must you be so difficult?" He groaned. "Which was it?"
"Liquid number 12." Jericho cleared his throat and wiped his mouth.
"Here let me see." Hardcore said and put his hands on his hips.
"It's on our table, number 9." Jericho pointed as he got a drink again.
"No, let me take a look at you. All you're worth to us is a basketball win and you can't do that if you're hurt." Hardcore got a small light out of his pocket. "Open up." Jericho reluctantly opened his mouth but Holly didn't wait, he shoved it open and took a look inside. "Well it doesn't look like you've been effected, but I would go see the nurse if you ever get a sore throat. It looks like you could be sick with strep or something."
"Yea, whatever." Jericho muttered after he managed to get away, annoyed.
"What was that?" Hardcore replied in a voice to freeze your spine.
"I said yea sure." Jericho went back to the table and Triple H shrugged.
"Ok as I promised, you finished so no homework. this time." He said and the class cheered and began to talk happily and joke about. "But at least study for the test tomorrow." Everyone began to clean up their lab stations and head back to their seats.
"Man, saved." Jericho sighed with relief as he slumped into the desk chair.
"Are you sure you're ok man?" Triple H asked as he sat down too.
"Hey, forget what Mr. Holly said about my throat, I'm fine and ready for the game. Speaking of which I've gotta go to practice after class." Jericho said as he began to put his papers in his binder and shove it in his backpacks among all his other books.
"If you say so, I don't want to get sick you know." Triple H replied and Jericho looked up at him from his backpack. "Well, not so much myself, but Stephanie."
"Trust me man, there is nothing wrong with me. Hey, as a matter of fact I've been sick less times this year, so that's a good sign right?" Jericho pointed out. "Well?"
"I guess." Triple H shrugged, still not convinced his friend was all that ok.
"Come on bro, don't let it go to your head. I'm perfectly healthy and ready for the games." Jericho laughed. "Heck, I would waste my health when I've got the games going on, I'd let everyone down. You know how much sports are to me, and the school's team."
"Yes, that's true." Triple H felt a little better now. "You're right man, sorry."
"Hey it's not problem." Jericho grinned the bell rang. "See you tomorrow."
"Later Chris, good luck with practice." Triple H nodded as Jericho ran out the door and off to basketball practice with Edge. Triple H saw Stephanie come up to the door. He cleaned up his stuff and then got up. But as they went to class, Triple H still couldn't shake this feeling about Chris Jericho, something just didn't feel right.
"Man, that's good." Edge looked over Jericho's shoulder.
"Yours too, but I can't decide a team." Jericho tapped his eraser on the desk.
"Do Toronto too." Edge shrugged. "Or the Rangers, your dad was on them."
"Yea, he was on the Kings too." Jericho sighed as he studied his work.
"The Kings? Get out, he played basketball like us too?" Edge laughed.
"No, speaking of which.." Jericho began but decided to go back to his picture.
"You know it's funny, there's the LA Kings and the Sacramento Kings. I wonder if the people in California ever get confused." Edge wondered as he finished the logo.

"Are you sure you're ok man?" Triple H asked as he sat down too.
"Hey, forget what Mr. Holly said about my throat, I'm fine and ready for the game. Speaking of which I've gotta go to practice after class." Jericho said as he began to put his papers in his binder and shove it in his backpacks among all his other books.
"If you say so, I don't want to get sick you know." Triple H replied and Jericho looked up at him from his backpack. "Well, not so much myself, but Stephanie."
"Trust me man, there is nothing wrong with me. Hey, as a matter of fact I've been sick less times this year, so that's a good sign right?" Jericho pointed out. "Well?"
"I guess." Triple H shrugged, still not convinced his friend was all that ok.
"Come on bro, don't let it go to your head. I'm perfectly healthy and ready for the games." Jericho laughed. "Heck, I would waste my health when I've got the games going on, I'd let everyone down. You know how much sports are to me, and the school's team."
"Yes, that's true." Triple H felt a little better now. "You're right man, sorry."
"Hey it's not problem." Jericho grinned the bell rang. "See you tomorrow."
"Later Chris, good luck with practice." Triple H nodded as Jericho ran out the door and off to basketball practice with Edge. Triple H saw Stephanie come up to the door. He cleaned up his stuff and then got up. But as they went to class, Triple H still couldn't shake this feeling about Chris Jericho, something just didn't feel right.
