Chapter 10
Miguel caught Kay in his arms before she hit the floor.
"Kay! Are you alright?" a very worried Miguel asked.
Kay didn't respond. Everyone was standing around wondering why Kay had fainted. They didn't know who this girl was or how she had hurt Kay.
"Oh so your name is Miguel!" The French blonde girl said.
Miguel didn't listen to her. "Kay!"
"What happened?" Kay asked coming to.
"You just fainted." Miguel said holding her in his arms. "You had me so worried."
"Don't worry, Miguel. I would never leave you. Never!" Kay said assuring Miguel.
"Good. Do you want me to take you home?" Miguel asked.
"I think I should be fine."
"Kay, what made you faint?" Mrs. Perfetti asked.
"I..I don't know." Kay lied. She knew why she fainted. It was because of that blonde girl. "Why did she have to come to Harmony? Why do I have to show her around? Hopefully she won't have lunch with me and Miguel." Kay thought.
"Well, Kay," Mrs. Perfetti began, "This is Charity. She's from Paris. Her family just moved to harmony so she could find her family out here."
"Oh!" Kay said absently.
"Okay you guys better get to your classes before your all late." Mrs. Perfetti reminded them.
"Okay. Bye Mrs. Perfetti." Kay said.
Kay and Miguel walked to Spanish holding hands. Charity felt sad, but she knew that it was only a matter of time before Miguel was her's.
"So Kay, how long have you known Miguel?" Charity said using her french accent.
"All my life. We're best friends and boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Oh! Miguel is Kay better to make out with than me?"
"What!" Kay said getting very annoyed.
"How could you even think that I like you? Kay and I are getting married soon. She is my soul mate, not you. Don't even get any ideas." Miguel warned her.
"I'm not!" Charity acted innocent.
"Come on, Kay we'll be late." Miguel said bringing her closer to him.
"Okay." Kay said.
"Don't worry about me," Charity said, "I'll just walk behind you two."
"Whatever." Kay said holding on to Miguel for life.
"Well, this is Spanish." Miguel informed her.
"Oh!" Charity said to herself.
"Why didn't you take French?" Miguel asked a little confused.
"Because I know almost everything." Charity responded. "Besides I can be in the same class with you." Charity told herself.
"What's that?" Kay asked.
"Oh nothing! I'm talking to myself."
"Oh well don't let me stop you." Kay said approvingly.
Charity turned around and smiled to herself. "Don't worry, Kay. You won't stop me from getting Miguel. It's only a matter of time!"
"Let's go in." Miguel said.
"Okay." Charity said cheerfully.
"Oh there you guys are!" A relieved Mrs. Carping said. "Charity is it?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class."
"Okay."
Miguel and Kay took their seats. Luckily they were able to sit next to each other along with Reese.
"Well, I'm from Paris. I moved to harmony so my mother could find our family. I was welcomed with open arms from Miguel and Kay. They are my new friends." She said looking directly at Miguel and giving Kay a dirty look.
"Oh well, welcome, Charity." Mrs. carping said pleasantly.
"Oh Thank you!"
"Would you like to sit next to Miguel, Kay, and Reese?" Mrs.Carping asked.
"Thank you. That would be nice. I can get better acquainted with them."
"Okay. Go take your seat now."
Charity sat directly across from Miguel. Kay knew that she would have competition from now on. Miguel was upset that Charity sat across from him, but he knew they he only loved Kay.
"So Kay, when do you have lunch?" Charity asked.
"5th period. You?" Kay answered.
"Me too!" Charity said excitedly. "This year is gonna be really great!"
"Yes. I mean me and Miguel are getting married. What else could I ask for?" Kay said trying to get Charity jealous.
"Well, maybe for me to stop trying to break you both up." Charity said outloud.
"You bitch!" Kay said violently. Kay stood up and smacked the @#%$ out of her. "That is just a warning! Next time, you won't be alive!" Kay finished.
"Kay!" Mrs. Carping said angrily.
Meanwhile at Crane Industries, Theresa and Fox arrive at work.
"Fox, do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?" Theresa asked sweetly.
"Yeah. Could you?"
"Sure. I'll bring it to your office." Theresa said as she kissed his forehead. "Go take a nap or something. I'll take care of your work today."
"I'm so lucky to have you. I don't think I deserve you." Fox said.
"Of course you deserve me! I love you, Fox."
"I love you, Theresa."
Theresa went to get some coffee for them. Fox went to his office and made a phone call.
"Hey Ryan!"
"Hey what's up Fox?"
"Nothing. I may need a favor in a few weeks."
"Alright. Just call me and let me know so I know what I need."
"Thanks, Ryan. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye, Fox."
Fox hung up the phone and walked over to the leather couch and laid there.
"Knock, knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Ethan!"
"Come in." Fox said getting up from the couch.
"Hey, Fox!"
"Hey, Ethan. What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you could do some research for me?" Ethan inquired.
"Yeah sure. just leave me what info you got on my desk. When do you need it by?"
"Tomorrow if possible."
"I'll get right on it once Theresa comes here."
"Okay. I'll see you later."
Ethan walked out of the room. When he turned around he bumped into Theresa making here spill coffee over Ethan's coat.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, Ethan." Theresa apologized.
"It's alright, Theresa. I wasn't watching where I was going." Ethan assured her.
"No it's not. Here leave me your coat and I'll send it out to the dry cleaners."
"That's not necessary, Theresa."
"Yes it is. Now give me you coat!" Theresa demanded.
"Okay don't get into a fit. I'm giving it to you." Ethan said joking around.
"What's all the commotion out here?" Fox asked.
"Oh! Fox I'm sorry I spilled your coffee on Ethan." Theresa said laughing.
Fox thought it was hilarious. He couldn't stop laughing.
"Ethan, would you mind helping Theresa get some coffee for all of us."
"I'll help her, but I think I've had enough coffee!" Ethan responded.
"Alright. I'll start on that research." Fox announced.
"Come on, Ethan. let's get some coffee." Theresa suggested.
"Okay. This time I'll try to watch out for other people."
Theresa and Ethan went into the coffee room.
"Ethan, do you want a soda maybe?"
"No, that's okay. I'm fine, Theresa."
"Alright."
"So how is married life treating you?" Ethan asked.
Theresa paused. Should she tell him how fox has been behaving or should she lie. Lies had ruined her life already, but maybe Ethan would say something to Fox. Maybe Fox would think that she didn't trust him?
"Theresa?"
"Oh sorry! I must have been daydreaming."
"It's okay. You still haven't changed." Ethan told Theresa as he looked into her eyes. "So how is married life?" He asked again.
"Oh it's great!" Theresa lied. In her mind she was saying, "I'm scared, Ethan! Fox always seems mad at me. Maybe I did something wrong. I don't know! I should have picked you, Ethan!"
"Theresa?" Ethan asked again.
"What?"
"You keep daydreaming." Ethan reminded her.
"Oh I'm so sorry."
"Is something bothering you?" A worried Ethan asked.
"No. Nothing." Theresa said smiling. "Let's get back to work."
"Fine with me." Ethan said.
It was 5:00. Time to go. Fox walked into Theresa office to let her know to get ready. He noticed something was wrong.
"Hey, beautiful! Is something wrong?" Fox asked very concerned.
"Oh! I'm fine. I think I'm catching a cold."
"Okay, well get ready to go home." Fox told her.
Theresa gathered her things and slid on her coat.
"Ready, dear?" Fox asked.
"Hold on." Theresa ran into the bathroom.
Fox followed her. "Are you okay? Should I call Dr. Russel?
"No. I'll be fine. It's just the flu." Theresa assured him.
"Well, if you don't get better, I want you to go see Dr. Russel."
"I'm sure it's nothing though."
"But just in case."
"Alright."
Miguel caught Kay in his arms before she hit the floor.
"Kay! Are you alright?" a very worried Miguel asked.
Kay didn't respond. Everyone was standing around wondering why Kay had fainted. They didn't know who this girl was or how she had hurt Kay.
