Chapter 13
Liz
"What on earth are we gonna do about Michael and Maria?" Tammy moaned as she flopped back onto the bed and I shrugged, we both were lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"I haven't got a clue, I mean, they both are in complete denial about each other." I told her and she groaned.
"You and Max just had to get the most stubborn people to be your best friends didn't you?" she demanded and I laughed.
"Excuse me, you're stubborn yourself remember." I reminded her and she rolled her eyes.
"I have to be stubborn, Max Evans happens to be my brother." She told me and I laughed, I clutched my stomach as I rolled over, tears leaking from my eyes.
"You and Max are totally the same!" I told her and she smirked.
"What did you expect? The guy practically brought me up on jokes and such." She told me and I giggled.
"I'm sure Michael and Maria will realise their lust for each and grab the other to make passionate love with each other." I told her and she looked at me with half disgust/bemused expression on her face.
"You, my girl, watch and read way too many romance book and films." She told me and I laughed.
"So sue me." I told her and she laughed.
"Nah, we have to do something to get their notice." Tammy told me and I rolled my eyes.
"Like what? The only way we can get their notice if we handcuff them together." I told her and I saw her eyes lit up and fear ran through my body. "Tammy…" I started and she yanked me up.
"I got it!" she exclaimed and I narrowed my eyes at her.
"What is it?" I asked and I shook my head.
"Oh no, I'm not telling you, I'm going to let you see it when we head to school tomorrow, can't do it today as I'm hoping that Kyle and Tess will get together and if they do, then Mikey boy owns me cash." She stated as she hopped off the bed and grabbed her phone, leaving me shaking my head at her. The girl certainly can keep things in line.
Tammy
"Tammy, come on, I need to speak with the coach!" Max shouted and I hurried down the stairs to see Max, Liz and Isabel waiting.
"Sorry, had a phone call to make." I told them and we hurried out into the car.
"What do you need to speak to the coach about?" Liz asked.
"We need to longer afternoons, we're facing the North soon and most of the guys are a little nervous after the last time." Max explained and Isabel scoffed.
"No wonder, those guys keeps using the rules to their advantage." Isabel explained and Max looked at her in the rear review mirror.
"Hey Iz, has Grant Sorenson being bugging you again?" Max asked and Isabel thought about it.
"No, he never got near me after he hit you at the basketball game and I haven't seen him around since." Isabel told him before tilting her head slightly. "Why?" she asked and Max shook his head.
"No reason, just the guys says they haven't seen him around here for a while, and you know Sorenson, he tends come around here if he can." Max stated and Isabel nodded, Liz looked at Max with a question in her eyes and he nodded causing her to shake her head and face the front.
Okay, I'm obviously missing something here but I knew better than to ask, I had a feeling Max was looking out for Isabel and by all mean, he can do it if he wants.
"Do you really think Kyle will redeem his playboy ways and go out with Tess?" Isabel asked and I nodded.
"Oh yeah, he and Tess really fancy each other and I'm hoping that today is the day where they admit It." I told her and she looked at me.
"I'm not so sure, how do you know he won't hurt her?" Isabel asked and Liz turned in her seat.
"Because he cares about her, I get the feeling that those playboys stuff as just image, I think he's trying to get a jealously rise out of her but we won't know unless he admits it and no guy is going to admit he made it up to his male friends." Liz explained.
"Hey!" Max jumped in, offended and she turned to him.
"Yes, we know that you would but you know what Jake and Michael can be like, Alex hits you on your back and tells you, 'welcome to the real world' before walking off." Liz stated and he nodded.
"Gotcha." He stated before turning back to the front.
"How will you know if Kyle and Tess will get together?" Isabel asked and I smirked at Liz, who was smiling.
"We'll know, trust me." I told her and she nodded, still wondering how we would know.
We finally arrived at the school and we hurried into the building, Max gave Liz a quick but passionate kiss before he hurried off, Isabel had saw Alex so she hurried off to meet him and I turned to Liz. "Ready?" I asked and she nodded as we both hurried off toward a certain area.
Liz and I looked around the corner and we saw Kyle helping Tess into the Eraser Room, he looked around be stepping in himself and shutting the door, I turned to Liz and we both squealed, jumping up and down.
"What are you excited about?" a male voice asked and we both stopped and turned to see our principal standing there with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh Erm, Max is taking Liz out tonight but he won't tell us where he is taking her so it means its an expensive place and she is to be expected to be romanced tonight as Max is the romantic kind." I blurted out, praying really hard to god that the subject of my topic doesn't come round and ruin the whole thing.
"Oh, okay, girls, try and keep the noise level a little down unless you wish to attract attention." He reminded and we looked around to see that the hallway full of students was watching us and I nodded.
"Sure thing, we're just gonna…go now." I told him and he nodded as we hurried off.
"Damn it Tammy, you need to go on TV, how you kept a straight face while telling him that, I'll never know." Liz told me.
"Practice makes perfect." I told her and we spotted the gang, minus Kyle, Tess and Maria, standing at Liz's locker. "Now it's time for me to collect my payment." I told her and she smiled as we reached the gang.
Liz
"Hey guys." I called out and they turned around to see Tammy and I walking up.
"Hey gals." Alex called out as we all watched Tammy go up to Michael and hold out her hand.
"Pay up sucker." She told him and he groaned.
"You're kidding?" he demanded and she shook her head.
"Nope, Valenti and Harding are in the E.R so I win, you pay." She informed him and everyone shook his or her heads as Michael paid up.
"Hey guys." I heard Max call out, I went to turn but an arm slipped around my waist and I felt familiar lips on top of my head. I smiled as I looked up and Max kissed me on the lips before seeing the others, he saw the money in Tammy's hand and smirked as he looked at Michael. "Have you not learned your lesson yet? Don't make bet with Tammy as she tends to win." He reminded and Michael grunted as he shoved his wallet back into his pocket. "Oh yeah, that reminds me, does any one of you want to tell me how I'm a romantic cause I'm taking Liz to an expensive date tonight?" he asked before looking down at me. "Do we even have a date tonight?" he asked, Tammy banged her head against her lockers as I shook my head.
"Nope, no date for you to worry about, you know what people are like, they overhear part of a conversation then get everything mixed up." I told him and he nodded, not once believing me and I knew that he was going to try his best to get it out of me when we get home tonight.
There was a skidding noise and we all turned to see Maria skidding as she tried to keep her feet on the ground before running over to us.
"What's wrong?" I asked; Maria hunched over as she clutched the stitch in her side, breathing deeply before resting her back on the lockers.
"Pam is going round, spreading that Liz is pregnant." Maria blurted out.
"What?" Max and I demanded.
"That's not all, she says that you slept with James, that both of you had the fight at the party because he didn't want to have anything more to do with you and Max was pretending to be your boyfriend so that the baby has a father." Maria told me. "That's not all, James is backing her up." Maria gasped out.
"Right, that's it!" Tammy and Max snapped out and stormed off in different directions, leaving us confused and worried.
Tammy
That was it, Pam was gonna back off from Liz and she was gonna back off right now! Ever since we met Pam, Pam had hated Liz since then and we never could understand it, Liz has a soft heart, she forgives people easily and she ignores the rumours about her but this was the last straw, I was getting fed up with Pam spreading lies, I know that Max was going to sort out James and I can understand that, he already had to beat James up because he was manhandling Liz but to go further and say that she was pregnant with his child, forget living, the gang can take care of themselves but mess around with Liz, the youngest one of the family and they go nuts.
I saw Pam up ahead of me, laughing with her friends and I saw red, I walked up behind her and slammed her locker shut, causing her to turn around, startled and her smile faded when she saw me.
"Tammy…" she started and I shook my head.
"From up till now, I have been tolerated your little petty vendetta against Liz but you are really fucking pushing me!" I snapped and I stepped closer her, I saw her gulp as she took a step backward. "You are to leave Liz alone, if I hear that you went five foot anywhere near her, I will rip you to pieces, you remember Isabel?" I asked and she nodded. "One word from me will get her to go and ruin your reputation and you know that she will do it!" I hissed out.
"She deserved it!" Pam snapped out and I grabbed the front of her shirt and pinned her against the lockers, I thanked god that it was lunchtime and the teachers were either in the teacher's lounge or that they were off campus. "The only person who deserves anything, Pam, is you. Right now, you have three females and five males on the hunt for your blood and yes, which includes Max as well. You think you are scared of Tess right now? You will be terrified when she gets a hold of you and tear you some new strips. I'm warning you right now and right here, you fucking back off of Liz or you will find yourself outside with the garbage!" I snapped before slamming her back into the lockers and storming off, I swear, one of these days, she will get what she deserves and I'm going to make sure I get front row.
Max
Did he not learn the last time he messed about with Liz or do I need to put my fist in his face once more?
"There is no way Parker slept with you!" one of the boys stated.
"Oh man its true." James stated and he shook his head.
"Sorry mate, no one is going to believe you, we all know that Parker has been lusting after Evans, that why she turns us down, if you seriously believe that we'd think that she'd sleep with you, then you are obviously dense, beside, we all know what the fight really was about, you didn't like that Liz turned you down, so you are doing this as payback and if I were you mate, I watch my back, I hate to see what Evans will do and I don't mean Max, that Tammy can rip you to pieces no problem." Told him, he looked up over James' shoulder and gulped. "Speaking of Evans, there's one behind you." He warned him and James turned around; he paled when he saw me.
"Do I need to put my fist through your face again?" I demanded and he gulped, I gripped the front of his shirt and pinned him into the lockers. "Let me tell you something, you stay far away from Liz or I can tell you this, no one will be able to stop me from coming after you and punching you into the ground so hard that no one will be able to tell where the ground starts and where you end!" I snapped, his skin paled and his eyes widen. "Do you understand me?" I demanded and he nodded. "Good, remember, I always keep my promises so don't let me see you around Liz and I better not hear that you have been around her either." I snapped, slamming his back into the lockers once more before storming off, I heard the guy smirked.
"Told ya, Max may be bad but Tammy, now that is one dangerous gal, if you see her coming, I suggest you grab a hold of your balls and make a run for it in the other direction.
I snickered as I walked off, anger still humming in my blood but it calmed down and I smiled, at least the school knew that Liz wasn't like that but Pam and James are really pushing everyone to the edge and I hate to see what happen to them, actually no, I would love to see what happen to them.
