Chapter Two: trouble meddles in.

None of them was expecting to see each other but there they were, watching eye to eye just from a mile of distance. Neither of them reacted immediately, they're both too shock to do anything. The athlete and the skater stared at each other's eyes for an intense minute without saying a word.

She's sad, He's missing something, She's scared, He's lost his spark, She hasn't laugh, He hasn't smiled, She's not the same, He's changed, I miss…, Don't….

Josie, what are you doing?

Just looking at the trees.-said the girl looking away very quickly

If you say so– said the other girl

So… where you looking for something?

I wanted to ask you if you had already decided about the party.

Oh, right! Yeah, I'm gonna pass. I still have the history paper to turn in so I think I'm just gonna stay here working on it.-said sounding as honest as possible.

I can stay if you want. I mean, it's not like this is the first time I watch Marshall play.

No, no. You should go, have some fun.

Are you sure? Cause really, it ain't a problem.

Of course I'm sure. Now go get ready.

All right then. I should probably go help Marshall decide what to wear.

Ok. See you.

See you.

The redhead closed the door and looked through the window but he was gone.

Vaughn? Vaughn! Hello?

Ah? Oh! Sorry Madison. Hi

Hi! What are you doing here so early?

Just hanging.

Well I think you should be getting ready for tonight. It's gonna be great obviously with me planning the whole thing, you're just going to love it.

I'm sure I will- pretending a smile.

Oh Vaughn! I just can't believe that by this time tomorrow you're going to be so far from here, and from me.

Oh! Yeah, I guess so.-trying to lose the annoying cheerleader.

Oh Vaughn! May I confess you something?

Sure.-not really wanting to know what she had to say

Well I've always feel that there's a connection between us.

You do?

Yes, you know, you being a magnificent football player and me head captain of the cheerleaders. I've always known that someday we'd become something more than friends.

Oh. Well, I…

I knew you felt so too! Everyone can see that we're like the perfect couple but you've been so distant these last months and now you're leaving…-the cheerleader started to sob.

Don't… I didn't think… Sorry-he gave her a cold palm in the back like the one his father gave him. Not very glad with the results, the girl spoke again but now she used an angrier tone, like hate.

I'll be fine. It's just that this is all Trent's fault! If that little tramp wouldn't have hurt you like that, you poor baby! I knew she'd cheat on you, that bitch!

Stop it all right!-Vaughn talked in an angry tone standing up fast and leaving the girl a bit shocked- I don't wanna talked about that anymore.

Sorry, I didn't mean to…-Madison spoke regretfully

Forget about it, I didn't want to yell but I just don't want to talk about it ok?- he said this a lot calmer, noticing the expression of the girl in front of him.

I understand, it's just…

I've better get going. I've still have to packed some stuff, you know?- he changed the subject as fast as he could.

Sure

See you tonight then.

Of course, bye

Pearson took off without looking back at the mad girl behind him.

Trent again!

What happened Madison?

A really pest chick entered the cafeteria where many other girls were wearing the same cheerleading uniform as hers.

I went out and guess who was there?

Who?

Vaughn Pearson

Ain't that something good? Why are you so mad then?

Well, it could have been something good if Josie Trent wouldn't have got in the middle of our talk.

What did she said?

No, she wasn't actually there, it's just that I told him how I think about he and I would make a great couple and how sorry I was for all what Trent put him trough when he snapped and told me to stop!

What!

I know! I mean, I totally though he would be on board with me but he like complete me blew me off, so not good.

Maybe he's not over Trent after all- said shyly another teen

Impossible! He was so crash went he brake up with that midget. No way he still has feelings for her!

Whatever, what are you doing anyway?

First of all, keeping that little creep as far away from the party as possible. For that, I'm gonna need to use an outsider. After that, the second part is letting him know where she is and whom she's with. And then?

Well… use you're imagination.

MADISON!

Hurry girls, we've got plenty to do.

Steve! –called to a tallish boy with brown eyes and dark hair.

Is it lovely Madison who I hear calling me?

Shut up! I need you to do me a big favor.

And what would I get from it?

Well if you do your part, let's just say that you won't be spending you're night alone.

You've got my interest. Talk.
