part 8
Will sat in the Dean's office waiting for him to get off the phone. After a
minute or to the Dean hung up.
"Sorry for the interruption. So I know your friends with my son. You
are…right?" Will hesitated before answering. He wasn't really sure what was
the purpose of this conversation.
"Dean Flemming during the past three years Hamilton and I have become quite
good friends," Will said slowing still trying to figure out what he was in
trouble for.
"You hang out with Mr Pratt, Hamilton and Mr Calhoun don't you? I mean
you're in there class aren't you? Will thought for a moment. Now things were
just confusing. Why would the Dean pull Will out of class to speak to him
about their social life?
"Dean Flemming, Sir. I don't mean to be rude but what exactly are you
getting at here?" Will inquired.
"Well if I can be blunt here Mr Krudski," the Dean said leaning forward in
his chair and resting his elbows on his desk, "where are they?
"I don't follow you here Dean Flemming?" Will said questionly. Mr Pratt, Mr
Calhoun, and my son all skipped class today. I checked they room's and know
one is out sick. Now I know you hang out with them and I'd like to know
where they are, please?" the Dean started to get angry.
"Ohhh...," Will said, "I have no clue where they went I haven't been getting
along to well with them lately. You know how friends are they always fight
and they don't invite you along where ever they go."
Dean Flemming looked unsatisfied with Will's answer. There wasn't much more
to do but wait until they returned.
"Okay Mr Krudski sorry to bother you. You can leave." The dean said standing
up and opening the door.
"Sorry I couldn't help," Will said trying to be polite as he walked out the
door.

Hamilton and Scout were once again in the back seat of a taxi on there way
back to New Rawley.
"This whole day was a waste we didn't even get to see what they were up to.
I wonder where Jake was? Hamilton thought out loud to Scout.
"She's probably in some motel 6 with Sean having sex," Scout said laughing.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Hamilton said. Hamilton actually had
already considered that but knew Jake wouldn't really do that.
"Where was Bella?" Scout asked. Hamilton ignored the question. He was day
dreaming about Jake.
"Man you're totally whipped," Scout mumbled looking over at Hamilton for an
answer and finding him staring into space.
~*~
That entire Tuesday Bella, Jake and Sean spent at the mall. After Victoria
Secrets they went and got a wig and then proceeded to Steve Maden and got a
pair of purple high heels to go with Sean's tank top. Jake looked down at
her watch
"It's 3:30 I think we're about ready to go," Sean smiled.
"Please lets leave now. I can't take this anymore," Sean said. Bella laughed
and gently kissed Sean on the lips.
"You are so cute," Bella whispered.
"No your cuter," Sean said.
"No your-." Jake cut Bella off.
"Oh lord lets go," Jake said hoping to stop them.
"We always have to deal with you and Hamilton doing this," Sean said not
realising what he said. Jake looked away. She didn't want to start crying.
Bella elbowed Sean.
"Smooth Sean very nice," Bella said walking ahead with Jake.
The ride home was quiet nobody really talked much. Halfway though it began
to rain this put Jake in an even better mood. She wasn't sure if she was mad
at Hamilton or if she was just embarrassed. She desperately wanted to think
of something else. Sean was driving and she was sitting in the back alone.
She scooted up and stuck her head in the middle of the two front seats.
"So Bella are you excited about the talent show?" Jake asked. Bella laughed
sadly.
"Actually I'm not having a talent show the drama club is putting on a play
that night and its to much work to change dates and re-sell tickets so I'm
just cancelling the show."
"What?" Sean said. "After all that work you did?
"Actually I'm not sure I really even wanted to do it. I mean I just wanted
something to happen and believe me, tomorrow night's dinner is going to be a
year's worth of talking about. I just wish I could watch it," Bella laughed.
"We need those mini cameras like in never been kissed," Sean said laughing.
"OMG we could get it on video! That would embarrass Hamilton as much as he
embarrassed me today," Jake said. An idea flew into her mind.
"The photography lab has one of those camera things, it goes on a little
flower pin. This is going to be great," Jake laughed. Bella turned around
and faced Jake amazed at how much she wanted to get Hamilton back.
"You can't be serious Hamilton will die when he finds out 'Samantha' is
really Sean he will be—" Jake cut Bella off
"He will be humiliated just like I was today," Jake said. Sean laughed
"Pay back's a bitch."

When Hamilton and Scout got out of the taxi it was pouring rain. They ran up
the stairs and into the shelter of Rawley academy. While they were drying
off before walking into there dorms. Everyone was just getting out of class.
They saw Will walking down the hallway and walked over to him.
"Hey Will," Scout yelled. Will didn't hear them. Hamilton was going to try
to yell again when he felt a strange hand on his shoulder. Scout also had a
hand on his shoulder.
"Hello boys," the man said. They turned around to find no other than Dean
Flemming.
"Dad...I - I- we--" Hamilton didn't know what to say. Scout was standing
there with his eyes wide open. He looked like he had seen god.
"Save it Hamilton both of you in my office. NOW," the Dean said in a firm
angry voice. They both walked into the Dean's office Scout noticed that the
Dean wasn't following them.
"Isn't he coming?" Scout said looking back to the Dean standing looking out
at the pouring rain of New Rawley.
"God I hope he isn't," Hamilton said in a low voice.
~*~
Sean parked in front of his house.
"Jake are you sure you want to take your motorcycle back in this weather?"
Bella said. Sean had jumped out of the car and ran for the door. Jake and
Bella were still in the car sitting together.
"Yeah I'll be fine I just need to get back before the dean goes to check on
me so I can say I'm sick," Jake said, looking for her bag. Bella was silent.
"I hope everything is okay with you and Hamilton"
"Oh don't worry after tomorrow night I'll be fine," Jake and Bella laughed.
Jake lifted a small book bag up. "Got it" Bella smiled
"Okay I'll stay and help Sean get ready and you can come pick him and drive
him to Hamilton's tomorrow okay?"
"Sure," Jake yelled hopping out of the car and getting on her bike. Jake was
already sopping wet
"I'll call you later," Bella yelled as she ran to into Sean's house. Jake
waved and rode up to School.
All she could think about was Hamilton. She loved him so much. She didn't
want to be mad at him but she was just so embarrassed. But if she could just
pretend not to be mad at him until after his date with Sean then she would
be too busy laughing at him to even stay mad at him. Jake parked her bike in
her special spot and ran to the front steps of Rawley. She bumped right into
the Dean who was sitting on a bench waiting for her. She was soaked from
head to toe dripping with water.
"Um I'm sick," she said with a grin.
"Mr Pratt this is not a laughing matter," the Dean said in a raised voice.
Jake saw Ryder walking by he smiled at her
"Fall in a sink love?"
"Ryder I swear .." Jake started but was cut of by the Dean's yelling.
"IN MY OFFICE NOW" Jake walked to the dean's office and slowly opened the
door.
"Dad I --" Hamilton started but then realised it was Jake.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Hamilton said. Scout laughed
"It's a big party."
"Shut up Calhoun. What are you guys doing here?" Jake said knowing exactly
why they were there. Hamilton looked down not knowing what to say he was on
the opposite side of the room from Jake he felt in a way guilty that he
didn't trust her and he knew she would be able to see the truth on his face
so he didn't get too close.
"Well Mr Pratt I don't know about you but we're both on principals honor
role," Scout said laughing.
"I'm glad you find this funny because I'm going to be in deep--" Hamilton
tried to finish but was interrupted by the Dean.
"Your right son you're all in deep crap."
Jake took a seat next to Scout not wanting to be anywhere near Hamilton.

Will searched around his room for the poem he wrote earlier. He didn't want
it to get in the wrong hands because he was afraid people would think he was
suicidal when all he was doing was letting out some anger. While searching
through his nightstand then phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Will," Bella said from the other line.
"Hey Bella. What's up?"
"Nothing really. Actually I think Jake's in trouble for skipping because i
called her a few times and she didn't pick up and she was supposed to borrow
a camera pin for.."
Bella remembered Will didn't know about there little Hamilton, Sean plan.
"For for--for a project and I need you to get it for me. Can you?"
Will sensed Bella wasn't telling the truth. He felt so left out of things he
didn't feel a part of the group anymore. But Bella was always sweet so he
agreed.
"You're the best. Just give it to Jake when you see her and if she is in
lock down in her room just make sure to drop it off some way because we
really need it."
Will thought about it and Bella didn't go to the same school as Jake so how
did they have a project to work on together?
"Bella how do you have a project with Jake? You don't go to the same--?"
Bella cut will off. She pretended not to hear him
"Um what I can't hear you..Will hello?" Bella hung up. Will sat at his bed
and wondered what she was up to. He didn't want to stay in the room and
class was over for the day so he didn't know what to do. Will grabbed his
book and walked out the door deciding to read in the common room.
~*~
The Dean sat at his desk not saying a word for a few moments deciding a
punishment. Jake and Scout were calm but Hamilton looked like he was going
to die.
"Wet dogs," Dean Flemming mumbled. Then louder he said "you all smell like
wet dogs" scout tried to hold in a laugh but let out a short giggle. Dean
Flemming tried not to go crazy and said in a strong voice
"I am very disappointed in all of you. Especially you Hamilton I can't deal
with this now. All of you go take showers I'll wait outside and then I'm
locking you in your rooms. Hamilton I can't handle having you at home
tonight you'll room with Jake." Jake's eyes shot open. Hamilton tried not to
look happy he was getting rewarded. If only the Dean knew.
"Oh sir I don't--" Jake tried to get Hamilton out of her room.
"Mr Pratt don't push your luck."
"This isn't fair Dean--" Jake tried to explain.
"Mr Pratt I'm not giving--"
"Dad let him speak, god."
"Hamilton I don't need you defending me," Jake said. The Dean glared at
Hamilton
"Dont you think you can just say--"
"Jerry Jerry, oh where's the security guards." Scout said.
"Mr Calhoun. You know what I told you the deal before now go take a shower
and I'll be there soon to lock you in your rooms. Mr Pratt you don't have a
choice Hamilton will be staying in your room unless you would rather me put
Ryder in your room." the Dean said knowing the dislike between the two of
them.
"NO," Hamilton said. Not wanting to leave Ryder in a room with Jake.
"FINE," Jake grinned.
"Ugh! You are very difficult person Mr Pratt has anyone ever told you that?
Hamilton will be staying in your room that's final. Now all of you get out."
The Dean yelled as he pounded his hand on then desk.
~*~
Sean and Bella were sitting on Sean's couch kissing.
"Oh..come on Sean we have to practice" Bella pulled away but Sean pulled her
back. Sean let out the words while kissing her.
"It...looks..like....were...practicing...plenty...just....like...this..."
Bella pulled away.
"NO..as much as I want to if Hamilton's parents don't believe your a girl
Hamilton will kill Jake" Bella said standing up. Sean tried to pull her
down.
"No Sean go get your high heels." Sean made a sad face and got up and got
his high heels and put them on. He walked over to Bella slowly and
gracefully.
"One..two ...one ..two," he repeated and his feet slowly walked over to her.
He was almost happy to walk all the way over when he landed right on his
butt. Bella started to laugh but Sean didn't he looked disappointed. Bella
kneeled down to him sitting on the floor and kissed him on the cheek.
"This is going to be a long night."
