Here it is: Salem High Courtyard "Baby, please! I really need a Diet Coke," Chloe said to Brady. She gave him her pouty look and she knew that he'd do it. Sure enough, he got up and said, "Alright already.Be right back!" and with that he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "You two are pitiful," Belle said walking up, hand in hand with Philip, to the couple just as Brady was walking off. "No more than you two," Chloe joked back with her closet friends. "So, how did your, uhh...little talk go this morning?" Chloe asked, completely unaware that Shawn had walked up. The only reason he wasn't visible to the gang was because he was behind the tree that provided most of the shade in the courtyard. "Yes, Phiilp and I are a couple if that is what your asking," Belle giggled as Philip wrapped his arms tighly around his new girlfriend. "DO WHAT?" a voice screamed from behind Belle and Philip. They turned at face th person that the voice belonged to, only to realize that it was Shawn. "Philip.." Belle whispered. He tighetned his grip on her, letting her know he was there no matter what. "WHAT IN THA HELL ARE YOU DOING KIRIAKIS?" Shawn yelled, his face turning red with anger. What in the hell is he doing with his arms around my my Perfect Girl?" No one expected what came next! "SHAWN! YOU RUINED WHATEVER CHANCE WE HAD WHEN YOU SLEPT WITH THAT WHORE AND KNOCKED HER UP! NOW! NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME AND YOU LISTEN GOOD! IF YOU CONTINUE TO WRECK HAVOC IN MY LIFE OR PHILIP'S, THIS HEEL ON MY FOOT WILL BE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS, THAT YOU WILL BE VISITING SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL TO HAVE IT SURGICALLY REMOVED!" Belle screamed as she stepped forward the man she had once cared for so deeply. She still loved him, she couldn't help it but then again, he had hurt her on so many levels and she had just stood there and took it. It was time for this. "BELLE! PLEASE..." he said, not even knowing what to say to make this better." Okay, Brady, STOP RIGHT NOW! YOU ARE UPSETING TiNK AND NOT TO MENTION MY GIRLFRIEND! SO WHY DON"T YOU GO FIND YOUE LITTLE WHORE AND WORRY WITH YOUR CHILD!" Brady yelled. No one knew he was there except Chloe. She could always feel his presence and now, it was stronger than ever as he placed his hand on hers which was resting on her shoulder. With nothing left to say, Shawn walked off thinking,Belle how could you? If only..I hadn't lied to you! And with that last thought, he let the tears roll, not caring who saw it. Belle turned to face the shocked group of her friends. "Belle..." Philip said, not knowing whether to congratulate her on finally telling off the guy who had hurt her, or comforting her."Guys, I am so sorry, I flipped like that, but I am so tired of this bullshit that just keeps going and going on." Belle said. She was kind of sorry that her friends had seen it but she was not sorry that she had said it. "Sorry about what?" Meems said as she walked over and sat down with Jason taking a seat next to her. "Shawn saw Philip and I and he lost it, and well, I went off my rocker!" Belle said sarcastically. "You and Phil are together all the time," Meems asked, "what's the big deal?" She turned to Jason who gave her a knowing glance and an I told you so smile! "Well, we are now, together but alot closer," Phil answered for Belle. She placed a gentle peck on his cheek as Jason yells, jokingly," Now Miriam! Who's right and who's wrong? Uh huh, you know it? Not only do I got the bod, I got the brains too!" Everyone laughed at his statement as Mimi turned to defen herself."Jase!Are you crazy? Bequiet before people start looking!" "You can't make me! Naa na naa na naa na!" he teased! "Wanna bet?" and with that she pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss that leasted for several seconds. "Okay children! Stop all the horseplaying," Kevin said as he walked over to his friends. Holding his hand, Susan followed, thinking,Well, it's about time every one is happy "Okay, as much as I hate to do this, I have to go! Mr. Woods only told me I could stay until 5 minutes before the morning bell." Brady said. "Aww, baby, I'll miss you but you better remember tonight! You have to help me pack for this weekend. Pick me up at Dotcom when you get off,K?" "Sure thing, Diva" he said as he placed his lips on hers and made chills go throughout her body. RIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG The bell sounded and the each headed down the senior hall. At the beginning of the year, they had all chosen lockers together, but the order in which they were in was the problem that they encountered. Jason, Jan, Philip, Chloe, Belle, Shawn, Mimi, Kevin, and then Susan. Not wanting Belle to get upset again, Philip walked next to her and blocked her view of Mr, Brady and his showing girlfriend.He'd be there for Belle, even if it meant being late for class, hell, it didn't matter, they all had a study hall together , first period. Mimi quickly grabbed her books and walked over to Jason's locker where she placed a quick kiss on his cheek telling him she was there.Shawn grabbed his books and Jan's and took off toward the gym where their study hall wa sbeing held today. He wanted to avoid his ex-friends at all cost. They all hated him and their wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. Belle glanced at her watch,"Shit, you guys, we have like thirty seconds. the sound of 5 lockers slamming echoed threw the hall as they raced toward the gym. When Philip, the last of the group stepped foot in the door, the belle sounded loudly above their heads! "Class, get in the bleachers, I have to run to the field house and check inventory for the track meet tomorrow! All you seniors, this is your last one, please be there...on time!" Coach Vance yelled as he ran out the door. Belle turned to face Phil, who was totally out of breath. Down the hall and around the corner, and then up the stairs can be quite a trip. "Hey, baby, are you coming to watch me tomorrow," Jason asked MImi ,who was sitting on his lap, catching her breath. "Of course. what about you Belle are you going to watch Phil before you compete?""Of course,"she said as she grabbed his hand and led him to the bottom of the stair that lead to the bleachers. **************************************************************************************************************** OKAY,LET"S GET IT STRAIGHT!
