MLC-Chapter 4
A/N: Yes Jerica is Stephanie's daughter. Jessica is her half sister, her father will be revealed later. So here's the next chapter.
The next morning, I awoke my back towards Matt's back. I never felt so alone in my life. I curled up on my side and layed there for awhile. What I was waiting for I have yet to know. I felt Matt stir, I shut my eyes and decided to 'sleep'. He was in his tank top and boxers. He stopped and looked at me, his eyes looked zoned for a moment then just as quick as he had the look had come. Almost as if he knew I was watching he turned and hurried out of the room. I waited another couple of minutes before getting up and heading to the bathroom. I put on hipster jeans with a tank top, I applied a little bit of make-up and rushed down to eat. Only to realize I was not hungary at all. I looked around to see Jeff, Matt, Jessica, Gilbert, and Daisy all sitting down eating and talking.
"Goin' ta eat?" Gilbert asked. Everyone looked at me.
"No I am not hungary. I'll take the bus to school." I grabbed my bag. At this point everyone except Jessica had quit eating. Matt grumbled alittle and went back to eating. Gilbert, Jeff, and Daisy all looked between Matt and me. I went to the closet to grab my shoes. When Matt decided to say something.
"Is Jared picking you up?" He half snorted it when he said it.
"No. But what is wrong with that, Matt?" He lifted his eyes to meet mine.
"Does it matter what I think." He made it a statement. I couldn't believe that he just did that.
"Who's Jared?" Gilbert asked. As soon as he asked that my eyes hit the floor. Why now?
"Her boyfriend." Matt answered for me.
"Really, I always thought she would end up with you." Daisy stated.
"Okay, have fun." Gilbert looked at me and smiled. Matt, however, frowned.
"Are you really going to allow her to wear that?!" I knew he would do something like that. But why he never used to.
"Why does it matter Matt?!" I was getting angry. "I got to go or I will miss the bus." I grabbed my shoes and headed outside. I heard someone run up behind me. I turned to see Jessica.
"I know that we have had a bad past is there anyway we can move past this?" she asked sincerely. Maybe she meant it.
"Maybe if you can earn my trust." With that I continued towards the bus stop. I really didn't understand men anymore I once thought that I did. The bus came right on time. I stepped in it for the first time in a year. I went to the back and sat a seat next to Samanatha. She looked at me then the floor. It was a quiet ride to school. As soon as I got off the bus everyone started chattering. An usual day at school. Jared saw me, causually strolled over, and put an arm around me. I threw it off just not having the desire to be touched at the moment. Matt, Jessica, and Jeff watched this. Jared grew angry.
"What was that for?" I rolled my eyes.
"I don't feel like being touched." He put his hands up as in retreat. Matt saw that nothing was going to happen and ran off to find Amy. Beth came and greeted Jeff with a polite kiss. Jessica ran off with some friend she had met the day before. I walked into the school. Jared was following close behind me. I headed to my first hour with Matt, Jeff, and Daisy. As soon as I walked in I saw Jessica. She smiled and I gave a weak one back to her. I went and took my seat by Matt. I looked at Daisy, who winked at me. Why is she winking at me? Oh well.
"Today we have a special guest, who's job is to entertain people and using psychology to figure out just what they want..." Oh now I remember. "Mark Callaway is here to visit with us. Please give him a warm welcome." Matt looked at me, like I betrayed him by not telling him my dad was coming. Everyone gave him a warm welcome. He talked about what he did and how it involved psychology. Then he ask if anyone had questions. Jared's friend, Nick, raised his hand. My dad nodded his head towards him, to let him know he had the floor, so to speak.
"My question is..since Jerri is your daughter why does she live with the Hardys?" That practically threw me out of my seat. My dad remained calm.
"She lives there because of her own choices." He gave the simple response. I felt somewhat relived. Then as if he knew how uncomfortable raised his hand. My father called on him.
"If you hadn't became a wrestler what you have done?" My father thought about that for awhile.
"Sports have always been part of my life and before wrestling I was going to be a professional basketball player." He smiled at Matt. I gave him a thankful look. The bell rang and everyone rushed out of the class, even me. After that the rest of the day went fast. Jared came up behind me and kissed my neck. I turned and just looked at him.
"What I can't kiss my girl?" He asked.
"I am NOT your girl what happened was a MISTAKE!" I snapped. I was already sick of him. I can believe I was so dumb. I left Jared staring after me. Why do I always make the stupid mistakes?! I turned and saw that Jared looked hurt and I felt bad. I walked over to him. "Sorry, I just want to be alone tonight?" He smiled.
"Coming over to Shane's tonight?" He asked. I didn't really want to but it might be fun.
"Maybe. I have things to do."
"Well it's the weekend, can't you free up some of your time for me?" I nodded reluctantly.
"I got to go. Or I will miss my ride." He kissed my cheek and ran to find Matt. When I found him, Amy was kissing him. I tapped him on the shoulder. Amy cracked up because of the look he gave me.
"What!?" He glared at me.
"You ready to go?" I smirked.
"Aren't you getting a ride from Jared?" he asked.
"No!" I looked at Amy, who just smiled at me. I ignored her and looked at Matt.
"Go find Jeff then." I ran around looking like a chicken with it's head cut off, searching for Jeff. I searched everywhere, except the jantor's closet...
When I opened the door it wasn't Jeff who I found...it was Jessica with Shane Helms! I shrieked and ran away from the closet. I ran back to Matt. He was talking to Jeff, who I immediately smack on the arm. I told them what happened, they started laughing. I, personnally, did not find any humor in this situation. Jessica walked over to us with a bright red face.
"Let's go!" I wanted to leave. Matt and Jeff gave me a funny look.
"Okay, then let's get goin'." Jeff said using his accent. I laughed. We all headed to Matt's car, Amy included. It was a crunch in the back seat. Amy got to sit in the front. Matt drove like a manic to his house.
"Are we practicing tonight?" I asked. Matt gave me a goofy look.
"I dun no. What'd you'd think Jef?" He winked at Jeff. I shook my head.
"Hmmmm....I think we coulda do tha'. " Jeff replied. Everyone laughed. Those two were so goofy.
"What do you mean practice?" Jessica asked. I can't believe I forgot to tell about that. Matt gave me a stern look.
"Wrestling." I responsed quickly.
"Not you too! First my mom then my dad. Now my sister!" She groaned. I laughed at her.
"You don't have to join us. However, Shane will be there." I teased. That was it Matt and Jeff laughed so hard they couldn't breathe. Amy shook her head at Matt. We all piled out of the car. Jessica followed us to the makeshift ring. I climbed in the ring, Amy then got in with me. This was Matt favorite match. Amy was older than me and usually had the advantage. We locked up. I then proceed to flip Amy on her back. I went for an elbow drop and let's just say it didn't work at all. In the end I was pretty bruised up. I was in a daze as she jumped on the turnbuckle. She did the shooting starpress, and won. After words I got up and looked around there was Jeff, Matt, Shane, Shannon, Jessica, and some other guy that was a little older then the rest of us.They were all standing up clapping for Amy and me. Now I was able to get better detail of this new guy, he looked to be a freshman or sophmore in college if he was in college, and we were juniors and seniors in high school. He had blonde spikey hair, and wore a wife beater with baggy jeans. He was shorter then most guys I know, that don't matter though. Not too bad. Not too bad at all. Is it wrong for me to look at him that way? I am mean Jared and I aren't really seeing each other right?
A/N: Who is the mystery man? Is it alright for her to be checking him out? What do you think will happen.... Let me know. Review.
