And so the
prom was over. All the limousines had come and gone. Guy Perkins'
limousine was not carrying any other home than him, so he offered Aldys a ride.
She kind of felt bad for him, as Josie didn't turn out to be the person
he thought she was. "I feel that this will be good for Mr. Coulson and
Josie." Guy sat and stared ahead as he said it. Aldys couldn't
believe her ears. He knew about Mr. Coulson and Josie? "When did you
figure that out?" She asked him curiously. "I didn't, Rob told
me." This night was getting crazier and crazier.
When they
had been dropped off by the limousine in front of Aldys' house Guy took
her hand. "I just wanted to let you know that I didn't play a part
in the dog-food plot. I just wanted to dance with you, and then my three
friends decided to play some sort of revenge on you. I apologise for them,
since it is unlikely that they will do it themselves." Aldys began to get
a feeling inside that she had never felt before. She leaned towards Guy and
kissed him on the lips.
As Aldys
did that, Guy stood first like he was stunned. Then he put his arms around her
and participated fully in the kiss. When they broke loose after what seemed
like eternity they both gasped for air. But neither of them could help smiling
like fools. "So, are you going to ignore me in school on Monday?"
Aldys had to know, growing slightly serious. But Guy still grinned.
"Hell, no. Aldys, I thought I proved that to you tonight by dancing with
you. But even if I hadn't I'd be a fool to ignore you after a kiss
like that." Now they were both grinning again. "I like you a lot
Aldys, do you want to go out with me sometimes? Like on a date?" Now the
super cool Guy that the entire school knew had disappeared and he had left behind
an unsure and stuttering Guy. Aldys wanted desperately to comfort him.
"Sure. I'll go out with you sometimes." She leaned closer to
him again. "And Guy?" He growled. "Yeah?" Aldys got
even closer. "I like you a lot too." Then she kissed him again.
Aldys stood
outside school on the Monday after the Prom. Guy had said that he'd meet
here there when they had talked on the phone before bedtime last night. Now
Kristen, Kirsten and Gabby were the ones who approached her instead. "Hey
you. Alpo. Don't think that we're going to forgive what you did to
us at the prom. We're going to make your last days here at South Glen
like living in a nightmare." Aldys felt creeped out. These girls had no
clue about real life; they were living a fantasy.
At that
point Guy stepped up to her and put his arms around her. "Did you miss
me?" Aldys nodded. "Well, not like I missed you." And with
that remark he kissed her. Aldys could practically hear the three girls gape
with their mouths opened wide. After they had finished greeting each other with
the kiss Guy looked threateningly at Kirsten, Kristen and Gabby. "If any
of you do anything to hurt my girlfriend you're going to pay for it. I
know all of you." With that he kissed Aldys again and walked off.
Aldys
touched her lips; it seemed so unreal to her. Apparently she wasn't the
only one. When Kirsten, Kristen and Gabby'd had the time to digest the
news they dragged her in the door like she was their new Josie. After they had
got inside she protested. "You cannot push me around, just because I am seeing
Guy. I still am the person I was before that, and it isn't going to
change. I wouldn't mind having you as my friends, but no friend of mine
takes control over my life." As she had said what she wanted to say she
walked away and to her next class.
All the day
people kept congratulating her and asking her to tell Josie that she had to be
strong. When she met Guy for lunch in the cafeteria, she was exhausted. They
grabbed their lunches and sat down on the table with David and her other
friends from the math-club. The table wasn't full when they sat down, but
it quickly turned out that way. As soon as people saw that Guy and Aldys had
seated themselves there, they came after wanting to hear what they said.
Aldys
looked at her plate with doubt. Cole slaw wasn't her favourite
food-group. Actually she doubted if it counted as food. "So, Aldys. I
talked to the guys at your team. They were actually kind of disappointed that
you haven't shared your new-found love with them. Oh, and Eric wanted to
know if you were able to play in the game tomorrow?" David, always the
carrier of messages between the guys and her, it made sense since he lived in
their neighbourhood. "You are on a team?" Kirsten let out a squeal.
"How exiting, what do you play?" Guy put his arm around her
shoulder. "Yeah, what do you play? And how come I haven't heard of
the guys on your team?"
Aldys
forced herself to swallow the food. "I play baseball. And I have only
been going out with you for like two days, Guy. That's why you
didn't know. And David, tell Eric I'll call him." With those
words she nearly ran out of the cafeteria and went to her locker. While she
rummaged around inside the tiny locker she could feel some sort of knocking on
her shoulders. "Knock-knock." She didn't have to turn around
to see the face the voice belonged to. She knew. "Who's
there?" Two could play this game. "Guy." She smiled.
"Guy who?" Now she could hear the sincerity in his voice as he
replied. "Guy, who is sorry for acting like a jealous prick, and only
does it because he worries that you will leave him." Aldys turned around
and kissed him.
"I
won't leave you, do you want to come see me play tomorrow?" He
nodded and she smiled once more. "But we also have to go to the final
game when South Glen plays. Josie has a plan, and I want to be there for
her." They kissed once more.
