What Makes You Different Ch. 15

As Fox was going to chase after Theresa and Michael, who would happen to show up just at that exact moment? Terry. Oh crap thought Fox. Why do you always show up at the wrong moment?

"Hey sexy! Do you like my new dress, I bought just for you?" She then placed a hand on his chest as she reached up to give him a kiss, but Fox pulled away.

"Um-sure Terry." Fox couldn't believe that Terry would wear such a skimpy black tube top dress to school. The dress was cut so low that her chest was practically spilling out. Although before, he would try to be pleasant towards Terry and flatter her with his charms, but ever since she hurt Theresa's feelings, he was in no mood to be polite. "Not now Terry, not ever! Don't you get it? I'm not into you. What do I have to do to make you see that?" asked Fox, annoyed by her usual bad timing.

"Aww, baby, you don't mean that. You're just having a bad day."

"Actually, I'm having a terrible day because you're annoying the hell out of me. Now if you would excuse me, I have something to do." With that said, Fox hurried to his car, hoping that he wasn't far behind Theresa and Michael.

If you think that you will have a relationship with that nerd, you're wrong. She won't want your company after my plan falls into place. Smiling at her demise, she walked to her locker.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Theresa was checking the things in her bag, looking for Fox's cell number so she could call him when she got home to explain to him why she left school without him. But before she could find the number, she found a note sticking out of one of the books. What's this wondered Theresa? She pulled out the book and noticed that it was Fox's chemistry book she took by mistake. Fox would often leave his books in her locker.

She began reading the note.

Hey Fox,
I guess our plan is working like a charm. That Theresa chick is in for a surprise for her life. To think that she actually thinks someone from our group would hang out with someone in her social circle. She is so naïve that it's funny. The only disappointing thing is that Michael isn't in on it. We can't believe that he's actually interested in her. We have not idea why, but we don't care. If he actually starts dating her, we will banish him from our group. To hell with him if he chooses that loser over us. But it doesn't matter because before we both know it, your Crane charm will win her over if it hasn't already and she will no longer be a virgin. All of us will look forward to hearing the glory details. Remember, slow and steady Fox. Slow and steady.

The note was unsigned. Utterly disgusted and hurt beyond belief, Theresa almost burst into tears, but tried to control it. She didn't want to cry in front of Michael, but her eyes were already becoming teary. Michael was the only one who really cared about her. She was confused about her feelings towards Fox and Michael. She was beginning to become interested in both of them, but now she was definitely not interested in Fox anymore. Luckily, just then, the car stopped in front of her house. She was about to rush out of the car and hurry into her house, but Michael's voice stopped her.

"What's the matter Theresa?" asked Michael in a concerned voice.

"Nothing I can't handle Michael. Thanks for the flower and the ride. I really appreciate this," Theresa tried to give him her best smile, but it wavered.

Michael sensed something was definitely bothering Theresa, but didn't want to pressure her. He'll wait until she comes to him for help, no matter how painful it is to see that he wasn't able to fix the problem at the moment. He felt helpless.

"Your welcome. I hope you know that you can come to me for anything right? Here's my cell number." Michael gently grabbed her hand and wrote his number on it. "Call me anytime, even if it's four in the morning. By the way, I'm be the one giving you the ride from now on if it's okay with you?"

"Sounds great. Does 6:45 work for you?"

"Yup. I'll see you tomorrow then," stated Michael as he was putting his pen away.

"Thanks again for everything." Theresa leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheeks just as Michael turned towards Theresa.

Unexpectedly, their lips met.
