Chapter 12

Colette was at the beach, waiting for Jim. 'Where is he?' thought Colette.

"Still no sigh of him yet?" asked Kelly, as she stood by Colette.

"No. Did he leave a message back home?" asked Colette.

"No, ma'am. There might a good explanation," said Kelly.

"It better be that he got hit by a hoovercycle and that's he's in the hospital on his dead bed," said Colette.

"A priest giving him last rights," said Kelly, as she and Colette laughed.

"I don't know. I guess we're not meant to be. We're 2 totally different kinds of people," said Colette.

"You don't have to be," said Kelly.

"What do you mean?" asked Colette, as she looked at Kelly.

"Well, his friends like to party and he kind of likes to party, and then let's get to partying," said Kelly. They left, laughing. At the pearl, Jim still waited for Colette.

"I still can't understand why Colette still blows me off," said Jim. Diana scoffed.

"Are we still talking about her? Jim, darling, I'm going to level with you," said Diana. "You need to find some one that likes to party."

"I told you already. I don't party like my friends," said Jim.

"I know that some where down there wants to have a good time," said Diana.

"Yeah. My idea is to have a good time with Colette," said Jim. He laughed. "I gotta go." He left the tip for the bartender.

"So, she didn't mention that she has a boyfriend here on a different part of Montressor?" asked Diana.

"What?" said Jim, as he looks at her.

"She does this to all the guys, Jim," said Diana.

"You're lying," said Jim.

"Am I? I just don't want you to get hurt," said Diana.

"I don't believe you," said Jim, as he got up and started to walk away.

"Don't say that I didn't warn you," said Diana. Jim stopped and looked at her. He showed his feral eyes and left. She went back to her drinking and she saw Jim's drink still there. "Lightweight." She thought of something and took her phone. "God curse me to be this perfect and having intelligence." She waited to someone to pick up the phone. "Hey. This is Diana. I was wondering if you can do me a favor. How soon can you get here?" The next day, everyone at Montressor was going to the paradise party that Brennan was pulling off.

"Look everyone will get in," said Brennan. Just then, Jim walked towards Brennan.

"I didn't know you can pull this off," said Jim.

"You just knew that I rule, but that little head of yours didn't want to say anything," said Brennan, as he was tapping Jim's head. Jim took his phone out to text Colette. Brennan saw him take it out. "Dude, don't try to text her. She'll sense that you're desperate."

"Dude, I am desperate," said Jim.

"Welcome to the world of women, my damage friend. You text her and she'll still reject you. Forget all your loss on a party filled fiesta," said Brennan, as they looked at the people partying.

"You give discounts to the friends of the promoters," said a voice. They turned around to see Kelly and Colette coming inside.

"Because I'm ready to party," said Colette. All 4 walked to the party area.

(Music to "Madness")

Kelly singing: Uh Yeah, Yeah

Jim was trying to get Colette's gaze, but couldn't. Kelly stopped, grabbed Brennan's neck and walked with Brennan.

Kelly singing: Honey, I can tell by the wandering look in your eye You're just a little boy with about just about a thousand lines

Kelly pushed Brennan to the side and Colette was going around with Jim.

Colette singing: And the girl you say is always on your mind You just sit and watch and walk out of your life

Colette pushed Jim to the side with Brennan.

Kelly singing: (While you talk)

Colette singing: A lot,

Kelly singing: (But your)

Colette singing: Talk is cheap

Kelly singing: (You)

Colette singing: Change your mind

Kelly singing: (Like you)

Colette singing: Change your sheets

Kelly singing: (And me)

Colette singing: You're doing things that I don't like

Kelly singing: (And still)

Colette singing: It ain't right. Well it must be the madness

Jim was going to walk to Colette but he was pushed into the pool.

"Hey! Hey!" He fell inside the pool.

Colette and Kelly singing: Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you but I can't decide

Bomb da bomb A bomb diggy Bomb da bomb A bomb diggy Bomb da bomb A bomb diggy Diggy diggy diggy

They were walking up to part to of the falls that they had.

Kelly singing: It's funny you can tell by the way I use my words I'm all fed up and it's...

Colette singing: That the whole wide world can see what you've done I'm just a simple girl and I'm the one you want Yeah, yeah

Kelly singing: Talk enough

Colette singing: ('cause),

Kelly singing: Talk is free

Colette singing: (And your)

Kelly signing: You're too young to handle me

Colette singing: So, I'm lookin' for a whole new vibe

Kelly singing: (And still)

Colette singing: You look right

Colette and Kelly singing: Well, it must be the madness (Madness)

They started to dance again.

Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (Oh must be the music) Must be the music and the rhythm playin with my mind Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny I wanna tell you I love you love you love you, but I can't decide

Bomb da bomb A bomb diggy A bomb da bomb A bomb diggy A bomb da bomb A bomb diggy Diggy diggy diggy (diggy, diggy, diggy)

In other part of the party, Jim and other guys were dancing too.

Bomb da bomb (diggy, diggy, diggy, yeah) A bomb diggy A bomb da bomb (diggy, diggy, diggy, yeah) A bomb diggy A bomb da bomb A bomb diggy Yeah Diggy yeah diggy yeah diggy

Well, it must be the madness Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (I feel inside) Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you, but I can't decide

(Music ends)

As Colette passed Jim, she ran into the arms of a different guy.

"Luke?" said Colette.
