chapter 5
The prom was a huge success! Gemma walked in on Matt's arm & she
swore she heard a collective gasp from most of the girls there!! Matt
of course loved every minute of it too & they seemed to be the centre
of attention for most of the evening! They sat with Jeff & mellissa
when they weren't dancing & Gemma even found herself beginning to
like Jeff's date - she wasnt really as bad as she had first thought!
Neither of the 2 couples won prom King & Queen - that went to
some 'Barbie & ken' but Gemma didnt mind one bit! She'd had a
fantastic time & tongues were certainly going to be wagging about
Gemma's surprise date!!
Next morning Gemma woke with a ringing in her ears - the music
had been so loud the night before she could barely hear anything! She
lay in bed & smilled to herself. She couldnt wait to hear what the
buzz was about the prom so she decided when she got up she would
simply have to make some calls to her girlfirends!! She sluggishly
stuck her legs over the side of the bed & sat up, rubbing her eyes &
yawning. Her feet found the contents of her purse scattered on the
floor & she vaguly recalled throwing it there the night before. She
bent down to pick it all up when she found a small white piece of
paper, she picked it up but before she even unfolded it she
remembered it was Mellissa's phone number. The feeling came back to
her stomach. It was kind of a nervous feeling that she couldn't
explain. She rubbed her stomach absentmindedly, the folded up piece
of paper still in her hand & she remembered Mellissa's voice....
"Call me! We'll get together for a coffee sometime & you can
dish all the dirt on this handsome stud!!" She was running her
fingers through Jeff's hair & giggling when she handed the number to
Gemma. Now that she tought about it Mellissa had been all over Jeff
for most of the night! Damn she was annoying!! And that voice, Gemma
thought, that nasal, whining voice!! What on earth was Jeff thinking?
What does he see in that!? OK so she's pretty, so what??
"God men!" Gemma said to herself, "Why do they always fall for
the beauty queens?!"
"Honey they're all the same & dont let anyone tell you
different!!" It was Kellie standing in the doorway of Gemma's room!
"Oh Jesus Kel! You almost scared me shitless!! I didnt even
know I'd said that out loud!!"
"hahaha sorry sweetie! I was just comming to see if you wanted
breakfast....and dont let your father catch you using language like
that!!" kellie winked & they both giggled! She came & sat beside
Gemma on the bed.
"Y'know Gem if ever you need to talk...about guys, life,
anything - Im here ya know that?" Kellie put her arm around Gemma's
shoulders & gave her a little squeeze.
"Sure Kellie, I know & I will.....if ever I need to talk that
is!"
"OK so who's the 'beauty queen' guy then?"
"Oh no one...well no one in particular anyway! Besides
like you said, that could describe any guy on the planet!!"
"OK kiddo! But just keep in mind what I said, Im here for you
ok?"
"Yeah I will! thanx Kel!"
Kellie stood up & ruffled Gemma's hair before going back
downstairs. Gemma decided to try & shake this uneasy feeling with a
nice long shower!
After her shower she did feel better - she lazed around for most
of the morning watching TV or on the phone. She had been right about
the tongues wagging! 4 of her girlfriends had already called that
morning demanding to know all of the juicy gossip! Did they go back
to Matt's place? Did she kiss him? Did they make out!!? Gemma told
them all the same thing - nothing happened!!!! She actually found the
whole thing hillarious!
Later that afternoon she decided to take a walk to Jeff's place! It
took her a little longer than usual as her legs ached from dancing &
her feet were sore from her new shoes!!! When she got there & knocked
on the door she could hear Matt, he was shouting hysterically!
"Jeff!!JEFF!! Come here man quick!!"
Gemma didnt wait to be let in, she opened the door & ran in!!
"What's going on? is everyone alright??" she asked, her
heart pounding! Jeff ran downstairs.
"Jesus Matt! What's the problem? where's the fire??!"
"Jeff, Gemma I just got a phonecall!!" said Matt almost out of
breath from excitement!
"yeah?!" said Gemma & jeff together
"Jeff man it was from Omega!!" matt screamed &
picked up Gemma & twirlled her around!!
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" said Jeff "Have we
got a try out???!!"
"YES!!!!!" screamed Matt.
"OH MY GOD!" screamed Jeff.
"HOLY SHIT!!" screamed Gemma!
The two brothers hugged each other & Gemma sat down stunned! This
was the break they had been waiting for, they were trying out for
Omega wresting! She couldnt help herself & she started to cry! She
always knew this day would come & she had no doubt in her mind that
this was their first step to living out their dream!!
Chapter 6
Gemma speant the whole morning pacing up & down the kitchen, never
moving more than 4 feet away from the phone. It was the big day for
Matt & jeff, their time to prove to Omega that they were the next big
thing!
"Ring dammit!" Gemma hissed at the phone.
"Still no news then?" asked Greg as he rumaged through the
contents of the fridge.
"Greg, would I be chewing on the phone cord if I had heard
anything? dude go ask someone else a stupid question why dont ya?!"
"Woah! Settle down there baby sister! I was only asking! Matt
is my friend & Im kinda nervous too ya know!"
"Shit Greg Im sorry!"Gemma patted him on the back "man I just
dont think I can take this waiting much longer! I knew I should've
gone with them!"
"Im making a sandwich, you want one?" asked Greg.
"no I couldnt eat at a time like this! You guys can fill your
stomaches whatever crisis is going on around you!" laughed Gemma
"Hey did you know that skinny guy from down the road has a
try out today too?"
"Errrrm...which skinny guy?"
"You know...that skinny guy who has the hots for
you....Shawn or something!"
"Shane??!!" asked Gemma slightly surprised.
"That's the guy! Shane - Shane Helms aint it?"
"Wow!"
"Ok is that a 'wow' he has a try out or 'wow' he has
the hots for you!?" laughed Greg
"Hahaha well if either or both are true then I guess it's a
wow for both!"
She started thinking about shane. He was a friend of Jeff's but
she realised now she hadnt really taken a whole lot of notice of him!
He seemed like a nice enough guy, a bit on the quiet side maybe. then
again she didnt really know enough about him to have a valid opinion!
Her thoughts were interrupted by the telephone! Both she & Greg made
a grab for it but Greg got their first!
"Hello! Hello!"
"Asshole!!" spat Gemma "Give me the damn phone!!" she clung
to him arm & he turned around in a circle trying to shake her off!
"Oh hi Mom!" he said
Gemma felt deflated & then realised Matt or Jeff might be trying
to get through & started jumping around whispering "hurry up! Hurry
up!" Just as Greg was saying his 'goodbyes' to Kellie the back door
burst open & Matt ran in followed by Jeff. Gemma jumped in fright!
"Oh my God guys! What happened?" she said, waving her arms
around like a demented monkey!
"Weeellllll,....." said Matt "If you're real nice to us we
might give you our autographs!" Matt grinned.
"Say hello to The Hardy Boyz!!" shouted Jeff
"OH MY GOD! YOU DID IT!! YOU DID IT!!" Gemma screamed!
She ran over & hugged them both! Jeff picked her up & swung her
around while they all shouted!! Greg shook their hands & gave them a
hug!
"Aw man that is so awesome guys! Well done!!"
They all laughed, shouted & cheered for a long time! Gemma was so
happy for both of them, this was the break they deserved!
