Chapter 4: Homecoming
It was Friday night, the night of the Homecoming Dance. All eight D-Tent boys were outside waiting for their dates.
Zigzag didn't want to tell anyone about his date, so no one knew who his was. Twitch was going out with a girl named Carla Smith. She had long, blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. Zero's date was, of course, Jessie Vernandez. X-Ray was going with a Mexican girl who had dark black hair and puppy dog brown eyes, named Carmen. Armpit and Caveman didn't have a dates. Squid was going out with one of the so called popular girls. His date's name was Sammi Miller, who had blue hair. Magnet was going with Kristi.
First to show up was Sammi, wearing an extremely slutty dress. When she saw Squid, she batted her eyelashes at him.
"Hi Alan," She smiled.
"Hey Sammi," Squid grinned cockily and extended his arm to her. He led her inside, leaving the rest of the guys to wait.
Then, Jessie and Carmen arrived together, Jessie wearing a baby blue dress and Carmen in a black one. Jessie took a deep breath and walked up to Zero.
"Hi," She said, breathlessly.
"Hey," Zero smiled and led her inside, X-Ray and Carmen behind him.
Now, only Zigzag, Twitch, Armpit and Caveman were left outside. Since Armpit and Caveman didn't have dates, they went inside to get a drink. That left Zigzag and Twitch.
Carla came next, wearing a bright green dress with a green car pin pinned onto the side of her dress. Twitch looked nervous as he escorted her inside.
Zigzag was the only one left. He waited patiently for his date to arrive.
She finally showed up, wearing a white polka dotted dress. The dots on her dress matched her hair: yellow, pink, blue, and black.
"Wanna go in?" She asked slyly.
"Sure," Zigzag escorted her into the gym.
Their school gym was huge, and was decorated with black and white banners and balloons all around. There was a big sign that read 'Homecoming Dance of 2003-2004'
"Wanna dance?" Zig's date asked, and without waiting for an answer, she led him on the dance floor and started freak dancing with him.
After a minute, Zigzag got into it and started touching her. Soon, everyone was gathered around them, watching. Zigzag didn't realize how bad that was.
"Zig?" They heard someone call. Zigzag turned around and saw his friends, including Zero, who had his mouth wide open.
"Zero... I can explain..." Zigzag stuttered.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" Zero stormed out of the gym, Jessie following, somewhat fearful, behind.
"Damn him... how could he do that to me... he's such an idiot..." Zero was murmuring to himself.
"It's okay Hector..." Jessie said from behind him.
Zero didn't answer, but kept walking.
"What did he do anyway?" Jessie asked a few minutes later.
Zero wiped around. "Oh, he only went out with the girl I love! He even KNEW I loved her! That's all!"
"The... the girl... you love?" Jessie whispered.
"Yes, you heard me! THE GIRL I LOVE! I don't love you Jessie. I don't even like you! I just used you to make Marissa jealous of me!" Zero yelled at her.
Jessie's eyes filled with tears and she ran back into the gym.
Zero sighed and gripped his hair and sat down. Why did he do that? Why did he just say that to Jessie? She didn't deserve to know that. He's such an idiot.
"I'm such a bastard!" He told himself.
He heard someone run outside. More like two someone's. Two girls.
He hid behind a bush so he could hear what they were talking about.
"You don't know what he said to me, do you, Carmen?!" Someone shrieked.
"No! But why don't you tell me!" Carmen yelled back.
"He... he told me... that..." The girl trailed off and sat down sobbing. Zero knew instantly who it was.
"Jessie," He whispered.
"Sh.... It's okay..." Carmen sat down next to her. "It's okay... you don't hafta tell me..."
"No... I want to..." Jessie took a deep breath. "He told me that he loves Marissa Schwartz. He said he doesn't even like me... he was just using me to make Marissa jealous..." She started crying again.
"Oh my gosh... Sh, don't cry... he's not worth it... he's a bastard. Why don't you come over to my house... we can watch a horror movie and get so scared you won't even think about Hector!" Carmen suggested.
Jessie smiled. "Okay, let's go." And they left together.
Zero came out of his hiding space and slowly walked into the gym.
"Hey Zero, what happened?" Caveman asked. "We saw Jessie run in crying and then she ran back out with Carmen following her."
Zero took a deep breath. "I was so mad that I told Jessie why I went out with her,"
They all gasped.
"Zero!" Zigzag came through the crowd.
Zero looked up and saw Zigzag. He glared at him.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU BASTARD!"
Zero ran out of the gym, heading home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zero sat in his room, thinking. Why did it hurt so much? Why was he hurting so much if he didn't like Jessie? If he didn't like her, he wouldn't even be thinking about her right now. But, maybe he was lying. Maybe he was lying to himself. Maybe he did like Jessie.
But he was nowhere near ready for what would happen tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zero: OMG CLIFFHANGER!
Magnet: -_- No really
Squid: This sucks. I wanna go home *pouts*
Me: *thwacks him* Shut up
Jessie: OMG ZERO YOU'RE A BITCH!
Zero: Noooooo! Jessie, I LOVE YOU!
Jessie: NO YOU DON'T! AH WHY AM I HERE?
Me: ... Okay, my muses are acting up. You better review, or they might never settle this fight!
Reviewers: Oh no!
Zero: YAY!
Magnet: -_-
Squid: Boo
Me: Shut up
