NOTE: omg, I'm so horrible at updating, I know..but it's not due to lack of
inspiration. It's the insanity known as Midterm week in College...a word to
the wise for all those still in high school: ENJOY IT CHERISH it while it
lasts...sleep will be just a figment of your imagination freshman
year...okay enough of that! Hehe, I LOVE reading your reviews so please
keep them coming. Also, I have concluded that I totally suck at writing
Rogue/Remy romances so I'm wondering if I should discontinue it?? Ugh, give
me advice everyone, I will love you for it! Anyways, onward with the story!
Jubilee sat in Chemistry, doodling idly on her notebook paper, wishing she were anywhere but sitting in the third row and listen while everyone around whispered excitedly about their dates for Prom. And who knew, Jubilee thought gloomily, maybe at that very second Samantha was asking Bobby to be her date. And if that weren't bad enough, she hadn't been able to get Bobby to drop the idea of Duncan Matthews. Jubilee shuddered, cursing herself for ever bringing up the name of big air-head football player. On the plus side, Bobby was sidelining Samantha in order to "coach" her on how to approach Duncan.
The bell rang finally, and Jubilee shot out of her chair, and as she entered the hall, found Bobby leaning against the row of lockers waiting for her. Jubilee paused, feeling a strange rush of nervousness as he smiled at her. I've known him for so long, Jubilee thought as her heart pounded furiously, and the moment I come to my senses he's nuts over some British girl.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out reading witty little love poems to Samantha?" Jubilee said, and winced at how petty she sounded. But if Bobby noticed, he said nothing, but turned to her with his blue eyes sparkling.
"That's not important now, I have something to say," Bobby said seriously, leaning closer. More important than Samantha? Jubilee felt her hopes rise almost against her will.
Jubilee swallowed audibly, looking up at him. "Yeah?"
"I have the perfect plan to get you with Duncan!" Bobby burst out after a long pause. Jubilee stared at him for a second. THAT was the big news?
"Great," Jubilee muttered sarcastically under her breath.
"What?" Bobby asked, looking up surprised.
"GREAT!" Jubilee repeated, trying to sound more enthusiastic than she felt.
"Okay, here it is. I found out from Kurt that Jean is totally busy with planning the Medieval AND the Turn Around Prom, so she's kinda been neglecting Duncan. So, its perfect, you can put in some extra time with him and he'll go nuts for you," Bobby said, giving her a cheeky smile that made Jubilee blush.
"No way, uh, you see doesn't Duncan have time with practice and all," Jubilee protested, positive that Bobby wouldn't pursue it after that.
"No, no, no. I'll take care of everything," Bobby promised, smiling at her.
That's what I'm afraid of, Jubilee thought groaning inwardly. He stopped, looking at her expression.
"What's wrong, Jubes? You look like you're gonna be sick," Bobby asked, putting his hand on her forehead. Jubilee leapt back as if she'd burnt, her cheeks flushing brightly. What's going ON with me? Jubilee wondered. She NEVER blushed, because she was rarely embarrassed...especially around Bobby, where pretty much anything from politics to locker-room jokes came up during conversation. And in a span of week she had turned into a blushing maniac that was becoming increasingly infatuated with her best friend! This cannot go on, Jubilee thought frantically as she blushed even harder at the proximity of Bobby's face to her own.
"I'm fine...um, so how's school going?" Jubilee interjected randomly, trying to desperately steer the subject away from Duncan and her own risqué thoughts about Bobby.
"How.is SCHOOL going?!" Bobby asked incredulously. "Jubilee..are you sure you're okay? Maybe this Duncan situation is stressing you out more than I thought. I think I better cancel my date with Samantha tonight and stay with you..," Bobby said concernedly.
Jubilee swallowed back the violent urge to do a cartwheel in the middle of the hallway and stopped herself. It was obvious where all these deviant feelings were coming from. With the prom just around the corner, it's only natural I start feeling lonely, Jubilee assured herself. Even someone like her who loved the single life could get lonely, and it was only natural that maybe...she started crushing on someone close to her.Bobby. Yes, that's it, Jubilee tried to convince herself valiantly. And as horrible as Samantha was for Bobby, if that's what he wanted, it was her duty to be a good best friend and not sabotage his chances. Jubilee set her jaw. She had to stay away from Bobby for awhile until her crazy emotions passed, and work on pushing Bobby towards Samantha. Even if it made her sick to see him with her.
"NO..no that's okay," Jubilee said quietly. "Go on your date, I'll be fine." Bobby crossed his arms and looked at her sternly.
"Are you just saying that are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure, just go already! And change out of those clothes into something British," Jubilee said teasingly, faking an accent.
"Righty ho!" Bobby saluted her back with an accent, and with one last smile, retreated down the hall.
Jubilee watched him go with a sinking heart, and swallowed. This will pass, Jubilee told herself. She had to believe it, because if she thought for one moment that she could actually be falling hard for her best friend, then she'd really be in trouble.
