CHAPTER SEVEN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Early Saturday Morning*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nina! You must drive faster! Faster!" Fez exclaimed as he and Nina tore down the highway in her blue Toyota. She bought the car a few weeks after Fez started school so she could drive out to visit him.

Fez and Nina had been working at a church fundraiser last night, with his host parents, when they glanced out the front window and saw Jackie and Jason across the street, walking into the school all dressed up in their homecoming clothes.

Fez woke Nina up at 6am the next morning demanding that they drive out to UW to tell Hyde what they saw. He felt that he owed it to Hyde to tell him in person. This was not the kind of news that you relay in a casual phone conversation.

Once they pulled into the dorm parking lot, before Nina even stopped the car, Fez jumped out and started running toward his room.

He yanked his dorm room door open. Hyde was still in bed sleeping.

"Wake up!" Fez yelled as he grabbed Hyde's shoulder and started shaking him.

"Fez! What are you doing?" Hyde said sleepily. "I though you were in Point Place."

"I was in Point Place and then I saw the most horrible thing..aye..." He was starting to lose his nerve. What if Hyde took out his anger about Jackie on him?

"Fez, man, just spit it out. What did you see?"

"I saw...well...I saw..."

"Yes?"

"I saw Jackie going to homecoming with another guy!"

"What? I thought the dance was postponed!"

Just then Nina walked in to the room. "Thanks for helping me find parking Fez," she said sarcastically as she sat down on his bed. "It's true Hyde. I was there and I saw her with her neighbor, that Jason guy. They were all dressed up and they were walking arm in arm."

Hyde couldn't believe it. Why would she lie to him? And WHO was this Jason guy? He vaguely remembered Jackie mentioning her new neighbor to him once. He was starting to get really pissed off when the bathroom door flew open.

Sara walked out wearing Hyde's Led Zeppelin t-shirt and nothing else.

"Hey," she said to Hyde, "have you seen my jeans?" She glanced around the room. "Here they are!" She picked them up off the floor and pulled them on. "Thanks again for last night," she said as she pulled off Hyde's t- shirt and threw it onto his bed. She was wearing an army green bikini top underneath.

"Oh, hey Fez! Hey Nina!" she said as she noticed them sitting there. "Well, I should get going," she mumbled as she headed out the door.

Fez glared at Hyde. "You son of a bitch! How could you do that to Jackie!"

Nina chimed in, "Well, I guess we know why she was with another guy. Come on Fez."

They got up and stormed out of the room, more than a little annoyed that they had rushed up there to help Hyde when he was cheating on Jackie all along.

"So, are you going to tell Jackie about this?" Nina asked as they walked down the hall.

"No," he replied without offering any further explanation.

"I really think you should," Nina said sternly. "She deserves to know!"

"Nina, Jackie is MY friend. I know what I am doing," he practically yelled at her.
