Will Things Change
Chapter 3
"The Dance"
2 weeks later
It was the night of he dance and Stephanie was really excited. Only one thing was stopping her. The fact that John didn't know about her and Hunter going to the dance together. She was going to have to tell him, and yes, before the dance. She was just finished putting her outfit on when John walked in the room. He stopped at how beautiful she was. "Wow, you look so beautiful." "Thank you." "So exactly whom are you going with?" "Um…well, that I needed to talk to you about." Stephanie became very nervous. "It's Hunter isn't it?" "…Yes, but I want you to know I'm not going to go out with him, ever." "Okay, but if he does one things-." "I know, you'll pound him." "Exactly." "…Thanks for understanding John." "I love you sis, I'm supposed to understand you." "I love you too." "Now give a hug beautiful." She smiled and embraced a hug with her brother.
Randy was driving over to Trish's house, for the passed two weeks he had been really thinking about a lot of things. He and Stephanie had really gotten to know each other. He had been feeling these different feelings for her. He had never ever felt like this for her. Ever since it was known that him and Trish had been going to the dance, it has brought him to so many different thoughts. But he couldn't quite figure it out. He pulled up to her house and got out of the car. He took a deep breath and headed towards her house front door. He went to the front door and knocked. Before he knew it, Trish opened the door wearing an extremely beautiful dress. Randy actually couldn't speak she looked so beautiful. "Um, are you ready to go?" "Yeah." "You look amazing." "Thank you." Trish smiled knowing she had him in the palm of her hands.
John waited for Hunter to come over and pick up Stephanie before he left to go get Lita. Stephanie was sitting on the couch watching TV waited for Hunter, suddenly a big truck pulled up in the driveway. Stephanie got up and waited by the door. John came up behind her. "Be careful okay." "Okay, I will." "See you at the dance." "You too." At that moment, Hunter came to the door and Stephanie answered. Hunter handed her a flower and they walked to his truck and went to the dance. John followed by and got in his car and went to Lita's house.
Lita was waiting in the kitchen fixing things up to keep her busy before John got to her house. She heard a car pull up a few minutes later and saw John getting out. She got really nervous and checked her self in the mirror. For once, Lita actually felt a little less confidence about anything. She walked slowly to the door after John ringing the doorbell. She opened the door and smiled, he smile right back at her. From that very moment, she realized that this night was going to be great ad go well for her. They got in this truck and went to the school.
By now everyone was at the dance and it was going to officially start soon. Everyone was standing around in the gym with all the lights and streamers everywhere. Randy was standing next to Trish who was once again babbling to Molly Holly, her best friend. Randy looked around to see if any of his friends were there. He saw John and Lita and nodded to John, John nodded back. Randy then looked a little over to the left and saw Stephanie. His jaw dropped at how pretty she looked. She was wearing a white and blue dress with a blue ribbon in her hair. He was smiling when he then noticed Hunter standing right next to her. He was so sad, and wondered still why she ever said "yes" on going to the dance with him.
A while after, the music started and everyone was all over the dance floor laughing, talking, having a good time, and of course dancing. Hunter was holding Stephanie really close. Batista was a little ways away dancing with Stacy. Lita was dancing with John next to Trish and Randy. John put his head closer to Lita's ear to talk to her. "Hey Lita, you know I was thinking." "What is it?" "Look over at Randy and Trish." "Okay." She looked over at them for a moment and really didn't like it too much. "Okay, what about them?" "Well now, looked over at Stephanie and Hunter." "Okay, what about them?" "Well, I always thought of something, but I hope you don't find this that weird." "Just tell me, your killing me with the suspense." "You know, I always thought that Randy and Stephanie would make a really cute couple." "What? You're kidding me right?" "What, what's wrong with that?" "Nothing, I'm sorry. I was jut wondering if you knew that Stephanie has totally has had a crush on Randy for like ever right?" "Well, I don't know, it kind of seemed like it at times. But the thing is I don't know if Randy even likes Stephanie like that." "I don't know either, but those two have really gotten to know each other for the past couple of weeks." "I know, I just think that they would be so great for each other." "I've always thought the same exact thing." "Well, as long as we agree." "Yeah." They both looked in each other's eyes and moved slower gently connecting their lips. They were kissing and moving on the dance floor. Stephanie looked over and noticed them kissing. "So cute." "What?" "Oh nothing." She continued dancing with him.
The dance was nearing to an end. Trish hadn't seemed to be getting any luck on getting closer to John. So she just went over to Molly and they started talking. Randy was looking around and was shocked when he saw Stephanie running out of the door. He went after her to see what was wrong. He followed her to the parking lot. She was running to Hunters truck. When she got to it, she kicked the tire really hard that it made the alarm go off. She panicked and Randy ran up to her. "Over here to my car, let's go." He took her to his car a couple rows over and got in. Hunter somehow was told about the alarm on his truck going off, so he went out and didn't see anybody. Randy told Stephanie to duck in his car until he went away.
Hunter disappeared back in the school. Stephanie looked up at Randy who had a very curious look on his face. "Could you please explain to me what is going on? Are you okay?" "No, I really hate Hunter, and I'm even more pissed off because all my brother is going to do when he eventually finds out is say that I told you so." "Hey don't worry about that right now okay, now what's wrong?" "Okay, but it's sort of a long story." "We got time." "Okay."
-----------Flashback-------------
Stephanie was tired for a while from doing so much dancing so she decided to get a drink of water. Hunter had walked off of the dance floor a few minutes before. She was walking to the water fountain when she heard two guys talking around the corner. She instantly heard her name mentioned. "Guess what Dave?" "What Hunter, why did you bring me out here, I was still dancing with Stacy." "Forget about that slut." "Hey she's not a slut." "Yeah whatever, anyway, I'm finally going to do it." "Do what?" "Get Stephanie Cena." "What do you mean by get Stephanie Cena?" "I mean, I'm going to get her in bed. Finally after two years of waiting, finally I got her in the palm of my hands." "What?" "Don't you see it Dave? This has been my plan all along. My senior prom, I was going to take her, and afterwards I was going to really take her." "Is that all you really wanted from her?" "Well, almost. This would really piss John off wouldn't it?" "Yeah, pretty much." "Well, that's my full fledged plan." "Oh." "So what do you think?" "Evil I guess." "You guess? Whatever, I'm going to find her; I'm getting really into this. I want to taker her home now." Hunter walked off and Dave called his name out trying to convince him not to do it. Stephanie stood there for a minute trying to intake the shock of it all then she just ran off crying.
-----------End of flashback------------
Stephanie started to cry again after explaining it. "Oh my god." "I know, and I'm not even supposed to be mad. I mean, I don't even like Hunter." "I know, I think it's just the fact of being used. I know how you feel." "Ho could you know? I mean you're the most popular guy in school, if any girl had you she would be stupid to ever use you." "Well, I think I just was." "What do you mean?" "I mean Trish, I think she still likes John and she used me to get to him b asking me to the dance." "Oh, I'm sorry." "No it's okay, I never even liked her either." "Well, I guess it worked out for us hah?" "No kidding." "…So what do you say we go inside, have a good dance and then I take you home?" "I'd love that." They got out of his car and went inside.
Everyone was still dancing around. Trish noticed Randy and walked up to him. "Hey there you are. Let's go have another dance." "No thanks, I've already got a date." Randy put his arm around Stephanie and they walked to the dance floor. Trish just stood there without saying a word, had to have been her first time ever doing that. Hunter noticed Randy walking to the dance floor with Stephanie. He walked over to them. "What are you doing with Stephanie Orton?" "I was just going to have a dance with her, is that a problem?" "No, make it quick." Hunter walked away and then Randy and Stephanie started dancing to the slow song. Lita and John were still dancing and they both noticed Randy and Stephanie. "Aren't they so cute?" "Yeah, they are." John looked down at Lita and smiled. "Hey Lita?" "Yeah John?" "Will you be my girlfriend?" "…Yes, I'd love to." "Cool." John leaned down and gently kissed her. They then continued dancing.
After the song ended, before Hunter to go up to Stephanie and grab her, she had already left with Randy. Lita and John left soon after. Hunter just kept looking around for Stephanie and then Dave took Stacy home. Everyone was leaving while Hunter still kept looking around for Stephanie.
Randy and Stephanie pulled up to her house. They got out of the car and walked to her front door. They looked at each other and smiled. "So are you going to be okay?" "Yeah, I'll be fine thank you. I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you did for me. It just proves to me more of how nice of a guy you are." "I'm not going to say it was nothing, just that I'm glad it happened." Stephanie became very shy. Randy wrapped his arms around her for a warm hug. After they separated from the hug, he kissed her on the forehead. He walked to his car and opened the door. He looked up and waved goodbye before getting in and driving off. Stephanie just watched him drive off, and was do happy. She went inside her house and went to bed.
John drove up to Lita's house and they just sat in the car. "Lita, I might be going to college in a few weeks after school ends, I really would like us to stay together. I think that we could have something really special." "Me too, I'll go wherever you'll go." He leaned over and kissed her. After they broke the kiss, he walked he to her house and let her in. he went back to his car and drove off. Lita as well went to bed.
John soon after arrived home and noticed that Stephanie was finished getting ready for bed in the bathroom. "Hey you, did you have fun?" "Yeah, I did. Hunter just wanted to get in my pants and piss you off. I'm sure it's already working. Randy comforted me and took me back on the dance floor for the best dance I've ever had in my life, then he took me home where we embraced in the nicest hug I've ever had. He also gave me a nice kiss on the forehead. So yeah, I had a great time. But I'm going to go to bed now." "Okay, love you." "Love you too." Stephanie closed the door behind her and John just laughed to himself at her response. Then he went to bed.
