Chapter 5 – Apologize

When the boys got home from school, they were all exhausted from all the gossiping and truth telling the boys had to do, to make sure their side of the story was heard.

"Well I think we finally found a way to socially ruin our lives." Jack said while looking for some food in the kitchen.

"Not true, remember what happened to Roxy, she bounce back and regain her social status" Sam said while gulping down some apple juice from a plastic cup.

T.J. and Roxy cam through the front entrence.

"Well T.J. that was a weird thing we just saw outside, ready to start studying?" Roxy said while pushing all the trash off the living room table.

"What you mean you never saw anyone do a back flip while rollerblading?" T.J. was very shock, that Roxy has never seen stuff like that before.

"Hey Roxy!" Sam said.

Sam came into the living room all messy, he spilled juice all over is shirt, like a toddler would do and it looked like he didn't even notice the stains on his white shirt.

Roxy was laughing and was trying to hide it, but eventually gave up and laughed so much, she couldn't stop the laughter. Kyle was just rolling his eyes while walking through the house.

"Yep only Sam can do lame things like that." Kyle said with a stuffy nose. He's still fighting his flu.

"What are you talking about?" Sam said, still having no clue why everyone was laughing. Sam trying so desperately to figure out why everyone was laughing was another reason to laugh at Sam. Someone pointed a hockey stick towards Sam's chest, Sam finally looked down at his shirt and started to blush a bright red.

"Don't worry Sam I'll get some tissue from the kitchen." Roxy said while walking towards the kitchen.

When Roxy went into the kitchen, she and Jack were the only ones there. When Roxy was getting tissues by the sink, Jack was staring at her and Roxy could feel the stare behind her back, that she didn't even turn around and look to see who was staring at her.

Roxy was about to leave the kitchen when Jack put his hand on her arm to stop her from leaving the room.

"Wait, Roxy can we talk outside?" Jack said slowly.

"Um sure ok" Roxy answered. Roxy and Jack walked to the backyard in total silence; the only sounds that were heard were the wind blowing and the neighbors yelling at each other.

"Roxy, I'm sorry for all the pain and humiliation that you went through a long time ago because of me. I now know what it feels like to be the laughing stalk of the whole school. Any misery I cause, I'm deeply truly sorry." Jack then took Roxy's hands and stroked them gently with his fingers. The he brushed a piece of hair that was covering her face.

He then started to talk to her in a romantic way. "Roxy I never apologized to you, about the thing that happened between us a long time ago. I know it was my entire fault and you tried in every way to stay away from me. I was I could erase the past, but I can't. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, and I truly hope that we can be friends." Jack at the end of his little romantic speech looked at Roxy with puppy dog eyes, and with those eyes you can't refuse or say no to Jack, so Roxy gave in.

"OK Jack I totally, fully forgive you for everything that you have done to me, I actually can't believe that I'm forgiving you, but I am. Roxy started to walk back inside, but before she went in the house, she turning around to face Jack, and said, "Jack I would love to be your friend, and by the way, you always looked so cute when you did the puppy dog eyes."

When Roxy went inside, Jack stayed in the backyard for a few more minutes.

"Ah Roxy is now my friend, and maybe soon will regain her trust. Mission 1 of the master plan completed." Jack thought to himself and smiled while going back inside the house.
