A few weeks past and everything appeared to be normal for everyone. Van and Fiona actually started to become very good friends and the best part was that Amy didn't suspect a thing from them. She saw them as nothing but enemies to one another. This made things a lot easier to them.
'Why me?' thought Van as he listen to his so-called girlfriend berate at him how much she hates Fiona. He had heard this over and over for the last few weeks and it was really starting to get on his nerves. Even if he did hate Fiona, which he didn't, he would still get aggravated of this after a while.
"She is such a bitch! I can't believe she did that to me! I swear that she will pay for that. No one can do that to me without paying a very serious price," said Amy as she talked on and on. It wasn't really anything big this time. Amy was just trying to find some way to complain about her favorite subject, Fiona.
According to what Van managed to pick up in his daydreamed state was that Fiona got a grade that was higher than Amy's in their last test in a common class that the two of them had. Amy thought she was smarter and better than everyone else and it angered her that Fiona could outdo her.
Van tried every once in a while to get a word or two in but before he could open up his mouth she would start talking again. 'Why do I even bother? She will continue on with this until the end of the day. Why exactly does she hate Fiona so much?' he wondered trying to think of a true reason. He was unable to think of one each time.
"And another thing, who does she think that she is? She comes and thinks that she will take everything from me," said Amy in an angry tone. She slammed her fist down on the desk hard which made Van jump out of his dazed state very quickly. "Van! Are you even listening?" she yelled seeing the state he was previously in,
"Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night," he lied hoping that it would get him out of this mess. 'She isn't trying to outdo you, She is just trying to live a normal life,' thought Van as she continued to go on with her ranting. He had his face in his hands and was getting very tired of listening to all of this.
When the teacher came into the room and she stopped in front of the rest of the class and cleared her throat to gain the attention of the rest of the class. She was an elderly woman and her looks proved it. There was a joke going around about people making bets about how many hundred years old she actually was.
Van slipped and his head went falling onto the desk. "Ouch!" yelled Van as he rubbed his now sore head. 'Damn it, why the hell did I have to get stuck with the strictest and most boring teacher in the whole school.
The one good thing about the class starting was that he was finally able to get a rest from hearing Amy nag, even if it was for a little while. She was normally a straight A student and didn't want to do anything that could possibly put an end to that. She was determined to be the valedictorian for the class when they graduated in four years.
That was why she was so pissed off when Fiona managed to get a higher grade in the test. She felt threatened for the position and definitely for good reason. Van had seen that Fiona had never gotten anything lower than a ninety since she started school. Amy got a B every once in a while because she tended to get cocky.
Van jumped when a note hit him in the side of the head. He scratched his head slightly and opened the note and saw that it was from Amy. 'Aren't you going to say anything about this Van? She is trying to humiliate me!' the note said.
Van sighed and groaned as he turned it over and wrote a quick note on the back of it. He the folded it up and tossed it back to Amy who caught it without even trying. She opened it up and read the inside. 'I would rather not get involved. It's just a challenge. All you need to do is prove yourself to be better.'
Amy smirked and threw the paper away without being noticed she mouthed thanks to Van and then put all of her attention towards the teacher who was already putting half of the students to sleep.
Van just sighed and laid his head on the desk hoping to catch up on a little sleep because this lesson was already putting him to sleep. 'Maybe I shouldn't have put that. It might just make their arguments even worse than before,' Van thought.
A number of bells later, Fiona was in a hurry to get to her next class. She was running late because the teacher from hell, Prozen, had kept her behind because he thought she wasn't paying any attention in his class.
She had been though but he didn't seem to want to listen because Amy had said that she wasn't paying attention. Being that he saw her as the most perfect person in the world, he believed her and thus Fiona's current predicament.
'I swear the two of them must be working together to make my life hell,' thought Fiona as she ran down the halls. 'She must still be mad at what I did to her a few weeks ago,' thought Fiona not even really knowing what it was that she had done to make Amy angry this time. She tried to avoid her as much as possibly for Van's sake. It didn't help that Amy never gave up on anything.
'I bet she would be even madder if she learned that Van and I are friends now,' thought Fiona as she laughed at the thought of what her face would look like if she knew. 'I can just imagine it,' thought Fiona with a giggle at the thought. 'That would be just too good,' thought Fiona as she continued to run down the halls.
"Hey Fiona!" came Moonbay's voice. Fiona stopped for a second for Moonbay to catch up to her. She then started to run again once Moonbay was with her. "Why are you running late?" asked Moonbay running along side Fiona since they were going to the same class.
"Prozen," was all Fiona said but Moonbay understood. "I do nothing but pay attention and yet he continues to do whatever he can to make my life miserable. He listens to everything Amy says and only believes her when she says something. Sometimes I wonder if I will even be able to make it through the years with him as my teacher," Fiona said with a sigh.
"He hates everyone but Amy, so don't let it get to you," said Moonbay. "Someday before I graduate, I am going to get him for all the detentions he has given me," said Moonbay laughing at the idea. She was chuckling like a mad woman and it was making Fiona a little uneasy.
'Ok, ok, just don't freak out Fiona,' Fiona thought with a small nervous chuckle and was glad when Moonbay finished her creepy laugh. "Why are you late Moonbay?" asked Fiona suddenly realizing that Moonbay was running late as well.
"I was trying to get something done since my teacher wouldn't let us go until we had finished it," said Moonbay with a simple shrug of her shoulder as she continued to run at the same pace as Fiona.
"I see," said Fiona as the two of them reached the classroom just as the bell rang. She took a short breath before she opened the door and walked into the room trying to be as calm as possible. She was lucky that the teacher didn't mind coming in a few seconds late as long as it wasn't too late.
"Good we made it," said Moonbay as walking into the room right behind Fiona. The two of them walked to their seats and sat down quietly just as the teacher stood up and started to write on the board something without saying a thing.
"Only a few more bells and we will finally be out for the weekend," said Moonbay. She sat back in her seat and stretched out a little. "I have everything planned. Nothing but the good old R&R," Moonbay said with a dreamy sigh.
"I know what you mean. At least on the weekend I can get away from all that is out to make my life miserable," Fiona whispered laying her head in her arms while still keeping an eye on the teacher as he continued to write without looking at anyone.
"Oh cheer up. How does this sound? We can go to the mall sometime this weekend and we can do something fun that doesn't involve Amy, Van, or any of the other that seek your humiliation, which is very few," Moonbay said with a shrug but a smile on her face.
Fiona lifted her head off the desk and smiled at the idea. She knew that Van wouldn't have any time this weekend because she knew that he was doing something with Amy because she wouldn't let him out of it. She hated it how there were times that she couldn't even talk to her own friend. "Sure thing," Fiona said before quieting down when the teacher finally turned to look at the class.
They walked out of their final bell class and to their very bad misfortune the happened to run into Amy. She had her ever present confident smirk on her face. Both of them knew that whatever it was that she was going to say, it wouldn't be anything good.
"Oh look what we have here. Two losers who don't know how to stay out of my way," said Amy as she walked up to them with Van very reluctantly following behind her. He looked like he wanted to get away before he was involved in the conversation.
"Oh god, this is not the way I wanted to start my weekend. Running into little Miss Prissy. I bet daddy gives you everything, no wonder why you are so spoiled," said Moonbay knowing it was going to get on her nerves. She didn't notice how both Van and Fiona tensed up a bit.
Amy either didn't hear the comment or she just chose to ignore it. "Not how I wanted to start mine either. Running into you two freaks," said Amy not getting angry or at least not showing that she was.
"You think we're freaks? The only one I see is you," said Moonbay with a smirk. She noticed a flash of Anger in Amy's eyes as Amy tried to dive at her for the comment only to be held back by Van. Even he was having a bit of trouble keeping her from hurting Moonbay.
She was about ready to strangle Moonbay. Fiona laughed. "You better not push things Moonbay, she looks like she is ready to kill you," Fiona said but she couldn't help the amusement at the situation. She looked towards Van and felt sympathetic towards him. "Why don't we just go Moonbay?" Fiona asked tugging on Moonbay's sleeve.
Moonbay didn't hear Fiona and continued with the taunting. "Hey, Van. I think you need to put your girlfriend back on her leash. She somehow managed to escape," said Moonbay with an even wider grin.
Van didn't say anything but he noticed that Amy was trying to calm down and keep her cool so he reluctantly let go but was about ready to grab a hold again if she was to try again. He hoped that she would keep her cool because she was scary when she was mad.
"Do you honestly think that he would do something like that to me?" asked Amy with a fake pout as she wrapped her arms around Van. She looked at the two of them and was not amused at Moonbay's gagging look. She looked at Fiona who was doing whatever she could to keep out of the argument.
"Yeah, why would I?" asked Van with a smile. He then wrapped his arms around her. Although he didn't show it, he somehow found the little show to be rather entertaining. There were a few times that he felt like laughing but he held it back and put up a strong face.
'That is right. Moonbay doesn't know. So he has to keep up appearances,' thought Fiona. 'Anyone would think it was real,' she thought. She hated when she was forced to do this, just sit back and watched as he played Amy's little game.
"This is just sickening. So I think that I am going to go," said Moonbay as she turned to walk away. "Come on Fiona," said Moonbay as she grabbed Fiona and walked off. "Don't hate Van for that," said Moonbay.
"Why? He has done so many things from what I can see to make a lot of people want to hate him. So why shouldn't I hate him?" Fiona trying to keep their friendship secret. She really wanted to say how good of friends they had become but she knew that she just couldn't do that.
"She has just twisted his mind. He wasn't always like this," said Moonbay with a small sigh as she remembered the old days before Amy. "At one time he was a carefree and loyal friend. Then he went out with Amy and he suddenly changed for the worst," Moonbay said taking a seat on a bench while leaning back trying to relax.
'It is sad how he had to basically give up his friends just because Amy is a spoiled brat. I wonder what it would be like now if he didn't have to do any of this,' Fiona thought with a fake smile that looked happy but was filled with sadness.
Fiona was laying on her bed listening to music. She was currently reading a magazine when she heard a tapping on her window. "Come in," said Fiona knowing exactly who it was. It had been like this every night since she first met him and they became friends. She trusted him so she had no worries.
Seconds later the window opened and Van crawled through. Stepping around a few scattered boxes left over from their move he sat down in a seat by an empty desk. "Still haven't finished unpacking?" he asked and only received a shoulder shrug from Fiona.
"You put on a good show today. You would have had me fooled if it hadn't been for me knowing the truth," said Fiona as she continued to read the magazine not even looking at Van. She didn't have to, to know that he was smirking at her compliment.
"What can I say? I guess that it just came from a lot of practice. I am a natural actor," said Van with a smirk. He laughed slightly when he saw Fiona roll her eyes from behind the magazine. "That was an argument that I really wished I didn't have to get into. Why can't either of them just avoid a conflict," he groaned sitting down next to her.
"How can you stand her? She is constantly picking fights with people who don't have a will to. Don't you sometimes wish that you can just be free?" asked Fiona setting her magazine down to look at van with her honest beautiful eyes.
"I know she does but I can't do anything. She is nice to me at least. This isn't the life I wanted though. Forced to keep up this charade when I could be living freely. That is how I wanted to live, not forced into a life that is not suited for me," said Van sadly falling back onto the bed.
"I can't say I know how you feel because I don't. If I was to ever have a boyfriend, I would make sure it is someone I would want to stay with," said Fiona giving Van a sympathetic smile while she lightly placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You are lucky that you have the choice. I am not sure what I would do if I wasn't blackmailed though. It all depends on how I feel. I'll admit that I really do care for Amy but I can't say whether or not I can really start loving her with time," Van said trying to think about what would happen in the future. "Whether I wish to stay or not isn't my decision though. For now, I will play along with her father. Maybe at some point, I won't have to worry about any of this," he said trying to put on a smile but failing.
The sudden ringing of a cell phone brought them both out of the moment. Van took a cell phone out of his pocket and turned it on. "Hello," said Van. The sudden rolling of his eyes told Fiona what she already knew. "Hey there," said Van in a calm voice through the phone.
"Where the heck are you Van? I called your parents and they said that you weren't home," Fiona heard through the phone. She groaned because she knew that she wouldn't be able to talk to Van anymore.
"I am with some friends," said Van knowing it wasn't a lie. He hated lying but he knew that this was for the good of so many people. At least he could say this without having to say the full truth. He looked towards Fiona and frowned when he saw that she just went back to reading her magazine without a word.
"Well you have to come to my house. My father wants you to have dinner with us and says that he has something important that he needs to talk to you about," said Amy this time so that Fiona couldn't hear.
Van knew that there was no way out of it. "Fine. I will be there soon," said Van with a sigh that he hoped Amy didn't hear on her end of the phone. He really want to talk with Fiona for a little but he didn't really get a chance to.
Amy was silent for a second before she squealed happily. She was happy to hear him agree to come. He didn't always seem to happy about coming over to her place. "Ok then. I love you. Bye," said Amy cheerfully before her end of the phone went dead because she hung up.
"Yeah," said Van before he closed the cell phone and put it back into his pocket. "Well, be seeing you Fiona," said Van as he stood up and started to walk towards the window. "Good night Fiona," he mumbled before he jumped out the window easily.
"See you," said Fiona as the window opened and he hopped out of it. It was quiet after that and Fiona just went on with reading her magazine. She couldn't hide the fact that she was upset that she couldn't talk to him a little longer. She had come to really like their discussions.
"What is it Thomas?" asked Fiona the next Monday in lunch when Thomas walked up to her. She looked at him innocently and gave a small smile. She seemed to fail to notice that light blush to jump onto his face when she smiled.
"Um. Well, you see. The thing is," said Thomas not knowing how to come up with the right words. He wanted to ask her out so badly but every time he got the chance to, he would chicken out and lose any opportunities. 'I will ask her this time,' he thought but it didn't help his nerves at all.
Fiona failed to notice how nervous he was because she was looking elsewhere for the moment. She snapped her head back to look at him. "What is it?" Fiona asked again with a smile. It was then that she seemed to notice. "What's wrong Thomas?" she asked kindly looking him in the eye but he just looked away.
Fiona took a look at Van and noticed that he was watching them with an amused expression on his face. Fiona just glared at him playfully. She didn't really know what was so funny about the situation that Van was laughing at her for it.
"Well, I was just wondering," said Thomas but he was cut off when Moonbay came up to them and sat down. He slammed his fist down on the table because he knew another chance was ruined. He just couldn't ask her if there were other people around watching him.
"What a good day. Stupid Amy is not in school today so that we won't have to listen to her constant whining," said Moonbay with a smirk. She looked at Thomas and noticed that he had a grouchy look on his face. "What's up with you? You look like someone just ran over a kitten," she said with a laugh but she noticed that it only seemed to make Thomas's attitude worse.
'Just great,' thought Thomas as he too sat down since he knew that he wasn't going to get to finish his question. "Absolutely nothing," he mumbled setting his head down upon the desk in annoyance. He thought he would finally be able to ask her this time too.
"What is it you wanted to ask Thomas?" Fiona asked once Moonbay had settled down. She saw Thomas look up at her and then lay his head back down on the table. She also noticed that Moonbay seemed to want to hear his reply.
"Never mind," mumbled Thomas sadly. He just couldn't do this is front of Moonbay. He saw Moonbay stare at him with a grin on her face and just knew that she had an idea on what he was trying to do. 'Just great,' he thought angrily in his head.
Lunch came and went and Thomas scurried out of the cafeteria quickly hoping to escape Moonbay's obvious questions. "Hey Thomas, wait up," yelled Moonbay breaking Thomas's hopes. She had just parted with Fiona and spotted him so she thought that she could talk to him.
"What is it Moonbay? I am in a bit of a hurry and don't have much time to talk," asked Thomas still upset that he couldn't get his question off. He was looking around waiting for some chance to escape from Moonbay.
"I have one question I have to ask you," said Moonbay with a grin. "Do you have something for Fiona?" asked Moonbay with her grin still present. She noticed the blush cross his face and didn't even need and answer. She noticed it even though he tried to cover it.
"What?" Thomas asked again not being able to hold back the blush going across his face. He groaned because he knew he wouldn't be able to hide it. "I don't know what you are talking about," Thomas said quickly covering his face in an attempt to hide the blush.
"I guess that is why you are blushing," said Moonbay as her grin widened. "It isn't a bad thing that you have a crush on Fiona. She is single after all," Moonbay said nudging him in the arm.
"I'm not blushing!" said Thomas while turning away from her. He completely forgot to deny that he liked Fiona. He was glad to see that Moonbay didn't notice it. "I am not blushing!" he repeated hoping that he would believe it himself. It wasn't doing him any good because he could feel the heat in his face.
"Don't worry. If you want me to, I won't tell her unless you want me to," said Moonbay in a teasing voice. "I will only leave it to you to tell her. It is your job to do that. Maybe I will help you sometimes," she said with a grin hoping to lure out the truth from Thomas.
"Really?" asked Thomas getting his hopes up a little. He then suddenly noticed what he just said and smacked himself in the head, especially when he saw the grin that quickly spread across Moonbay's face. 'Damn it,' he grumbled to himself.
"I knew it. You just can't deny it," said Moonbay she then gave him a sympathetic look. "Don't worry about it. Like I said before, I will let you tell her but I think you should do it quickly before someone else takes her. If you do then you have nothing to worry about," said Moonbay in a coaxing way.
"When it comes to you, I do have to worry about it," said Thomas seriously narrowing his eyes at Moonbay. 'You don't exactly have the ability to keep a secret very easily. You can only do that if your life depended on it and this will not,' he thought with a sigh while hanging his head.
"Hey! I resent that" yelled Moonbay but Thomas had already walked away. She grumbled to herself before shifting her things in her arms and walking off to her next class. She was glad that she wasn't Fiona at that moment with her next class. She was the lucky one not to get Prozen.
"Alright class. You need to settle down," said Dr. D at the beginning of his science class. His eyebrow twitched when he saw that no one was paying attention to him. "Be quiet!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. He was glad when he heard nothing after that.
"Since I finally have you quiet, I have some new for all of you. We have another new student. Wow, two in only a few weeks," Dr. D said with a small laugh but no one joined him. "His name is Irvine and he just transferred here. You can come in Irvine," yelled Dr. D out the door.
Irvine walked through the door rubbing his ears as if Dr. D's yell hurt him. "No need to yell old man. I was only outside the door," said Irvine walking through the door. He heard a few chuckles from the class and looked around and let off a small frown.
A bored Moonbay was suddenly jerked up upon seeing him enter the room. She couldn't help but stare but quickly shook it off trying to clear her head of the strange thoughts that suddenly decided to invade her mind.
Dr. D just rolled his eyes at Irvine. "Don't think that I didn't see that," Irvine scolded making the rest of the class start chuckling to themselves while also trying to hold it in so that they didn't get into any trouble.
"Hey I am the teacher! So I am supposed to be the one that is scolding you," Dr. D yelled because of Irvine's response. 'Stupid brat is making me look bad,' he grumbled to himself and put up a tough front despite his old age. "Now listen here young man, I am the teacher here and you are to give me some respect! Now you had better start!" he yelled getting into Irvine's face.
"Is that so? Ok then, I will play your game for now," said Irvine as he walked over and took the nearest open seat, which was behind Moonbay. It happened to be the closest open seat and he was too lazy to look for any other spots.
Moonbay watched him the whole time with a smirk on her face. "Nice one," Moonbay managed to say between her small chuckles at the rather enraged look on Dr. D's face. She loved to see him get all worked up. He just looked so funny when stuff like this happened. Van tended to have the same effect on him as well.
Thomas watched this and this time it was his turn to smirk at her but the glares she sent him upon seeing what he was doing, which got rid of the smirk much quicker than anything that he had ever seen. 'Moonbay could e scary at times,' he thought with a small shiver.
"Alright settle down everyone. Will everyone just settle down and listen to me already?" yelled Dr. D when everyone wouldn't shut up. The room quieted a little. "Now we have to get back to class in case you have forgotten," said Dr. D. many groans were heard all throughout the classroom as Dr. D went on with his extremely complicated speech. For him though it was normal because he was always making things complicated.
"God this is boring already," Irvine muttered as he leaned back in his seat and put his feet up on the desk in front of him. He looked around him and grumbled, "Where is she? I thought she said that she would be here," he said quietly but it was loud enough for Moonbay to hear.
"Where is who? If you are looking for someone, then maybe I will be able to help you. Just tell me her name and I am sure that if she is around, that I will know her," Moonbay said looking at Irvine with a curiosity in her eyes.
Irvine looked at her skeptically at first but then shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back. "Do you by any chance know a woman by the name of Fiona? She said she was going to this school," he said putting his hands in the back of his head.
Moonbay blinked a few times towards Irvine trying to process what she had just heard. 'So he is looking for Fiona?' she asked herself as a smile crossed her mouth. "Fiona you say?" she asked mimicking Irvine.
"Irvine. I didn't expect you to come so soon," said Fiona said happily as she gave her old friend a big hug. "When did you get in? Is everyone alright?" she asked as the two of them started to walk down the halls forgetting about Moonbay for a second until she yelled at them and caught up.
"How do the two know each other?" asked Moonbay who was standing right besides Fiona. It was clear that the two of them already knew each other but she wanted to know how it was that they knew each other. She hated not knowing what was going on.
"We are old friends. Both of our families were going to move down here but his family had to stay behind for a little while. I guess they were able to come a little sooner than was originally planned," said Fiona with a smile.
"Yeah, It was only a few things so it didn't take as long as we thought it would. You just can't keep me away though Fiona," Irvine said which raised Moonbay's eyebrow a bit. "I think of her more as a sister rather than a friend," Irvine said ruffling Fiona's hair a bit in the process.
"So you are the new student I heard about," Amy's voice said from behind the three of them causing the three of them to turn around and stare at her. Fiona had eyes like she would rather not be there. Moonbay was looking like she wanted to hit Amy. Irvine didn't really seem to know what was going on.
Moonbay quickly turned around and stared at her along with her numerous friends and Van right behind her. "I thought you were out today. I guess you just can't get enough of is," growled Moonbay as she cracked her knuckles while advancing towards Amy but she stopped when her friends got in the way.
"Family business. I came in late," said Amy not even interested in listening to her. She turned to Irvine and looked him over a bit. "I just thought I would give you a warning that it would be smart of you to stay away from losers like them. You hang out with us and nothing bad will ever happen to you here," said Amy with a smile that made Moonbay and Fiona want to throw up.
"Nah. I will hang out with whoever I feel like," said Irvine wrapping his arms around both Fiona and Moonbay's shoulders with a wide grin on his face at the looks that were being given to him. He didn't care what other thought, he would always stick with his friends.
"But they're geeks!" said Amy looking highly appalled at Irvine's quick choice of friends. She thought that she was giving him the best offer in the school and he was turning it down like it was nothing. "Nothing good will come out of hanging out with these losers," she said looking at Fiona and Moonbay with little interest.
"Hey! Shut up. You don't know the first thing about any of us. Irvine won't be coming with you because he is our friend," yelled Fiona since she hated being called a loser over and over again by Amy. She didn't know why Amy hated her so much; all she did was run into her by accident. She really didn't care anymore about what happened..
Van stepped forward with a smirk on his face. He didn't know why but he found it fun to argue with Fiona about stupid things. Both knew nothing they said were true so they turned it into a game to see who would outsmart the other. "Don't tell her to shut up!" said Van standing in front of Amy. He knew it was a lame start but he also knew that Fiona would really get things going.
"I will tell her what I want to tell her! Not that her little dog would know anything about that" Fiona yelled back at him. She kind of felt like laughing at the statement but she managed to hold it in and glared at both Van and Amy.
'Low blow,' Van thought with a frown on his face. He glared at her playfully but to everyone else, it looked like one of real anger. "Oh you're just jealous of all that she has and that you don't. Admit it," Van taunted with a smirk on his face. 'This will definitely be fun,' he thought suppressing the laughter.
Fiona scoffed at the mere idea of that. "Fat chance, what is there to be jealous about. She is nothing but a spoiled brat who has to get everything that she wants. She thinks she is better than others. Heck, she even has her own little servant boy," Fiona said causing a few chuckles from everyone around her, even some of Amy's friends until Amy glared at them and they shut up.
Irvine watched this with amusement. The two of them argued like an old married couple. Neither of them seemed to take what the other one was saying too seriously. He saw something though. He didn't know what it was but it was something that no one else saw.
School ended and everyone left the school in a rush so that they wouldn't want to stay in that hellhole another second. Since it was only the beginning of the week, some wanted to get away faster since they had to come back the next day.
"Finally we can get out of that place," said Moonbay as she walked with Fiona. She had been in a rather good mood since their argument with Amy and Van, well play argument with Van, but one none-the-less. It had definitely been a fun sight to see for her.
She stretched her arms over her head and let out a loud yawn. "I know," said Fiona as she walked calmly down the street. Her play argument with Van had been rather enjoyable since in the end she ended up getting to better out of him sending Amy into a bit of a fit.
"Listen Fiona. I have to go somewhere else so I will see you later. Great job earlier today, you really showed the two of them who's better," Moonbay said with a laugh before she waved at Fiona while running off in the opposite direction of her home.
"Ok see you," said Fiona as Moonbay ran off farther down the street. Fiona just turned around and sighed as she walked her normal route towards her home. She hadn't seen either Van or Irvine all day since the argument and she wondered what happened to both of them.
"She was in an awful big hurry," a voice suddenly cut in making Fiona jump a little before she turned around and saw Van standing there. He was laughing at how he managed to scare her. He considered it payback since she won their argument earlier that day.
"Don't scare me like that!" said Fiona clutching her chest. She was looking around quickly to make sure that no one was around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were completely alone. She wondered where everyone else went.
"Why? Did you think that I was that person that tried to rape you?" asked Van with a chuckle but also with a bit of a serious tone. It was a tough subject and he wished that he didn't bring it up because of the look on Fiona's face.
"No… maybe," said Fiona quietly while looking at the ground trying to rid her mind of the images that were threatening to pop up. She had tried so hard to put it behind her. She was just glad that van was there or something horrible would have happened. She only wanted her future husband to take something like that from her.
"Well I am not. Why don't we just drop the subject because it is one that I would rather not think about," said Van with a laugh. He shoved his hands into his pockets while looking up towards the cloudless sky.
Fiona looked around to see if there was anyone around again. "Where's Amy?" asked Fiona noticing that she wasn't with Van at the moment like she normally was. It was odd not to see the woman hanging all over van like usual.
"She left in a hurry as well. She was mumbling about something important that she had to do. I am not sure what it was because she was in an awfully big rush out of the school. Oh well, more spare time for me," said Van with a smirk while looking at Fiona as she stood in front of him.
"Oh well. At least she won't be around to annoy me. Sometimes I just feel like punching her when she does that," said Fiona as she started to giggle which then turned into a laugh. She had never had thoughts like that before so she found it to be a bit funny. She smiled when she heard Van laughing as well.
Then there was another laugh that startled Van and Fiona. They both turned around expecting to see someone that would blab about them but all they saw was Irvine. They tried to calm down but van felt a little nervous since he didn't know the guy and he already knew of his and Fiona's secret.
"Irvine?" said Fiona a little startled. She laughed nervously at him. She knew she could trust him but it still made her scared that anyone could have been there standing in his place. It could have possibly been one of Amy's friends who could blab on them. She didn't want to think of the consequences for if that happened.
"I knew that there was something strange about the two of you," said Irvine as he laughed a little at the startled two. "Now I see that that little thing that went on in school was a little act," said Irvine as he continued to laugh. He was slightly shocked but also amused at the whole situation.
"Irvine, please you can't tell anyone about this," pleaded Fiona grabbing onto his shirt while shaking him a bit. "You can't mention a word of this to anyone Irvine. This is something very serious," she said looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Ok, ok, your secret is safe with me. I knew you had to be hiding something anyways and that was about a friendship," said Irvine patting Fiona on the back. "Besides why would I rat out my friend to queen bitch," said Irvine as he started to laugh again. He was wonder what else was going on between the two of them, or if they really were just friends.
Van looked at Irvine hesitantly. He still didn't know whether to trust him or not, despite the fact that Fiona seemed to know him from somewhere. "Who are you?" asked Van taking a step forwards with a rather serious look upon his face.
Irvine looked at Van and held out a hand towards him. "As you already know, my name is Irvine. I am an old friend of Fiona's from before she moved here," said Irvine shaking Van's hand when his hand was taken in a hand shake.
"Ah I see. Well my name is Van. There is a good reason that we are trying to keep our friendship a secret. I can't just let others know or it will be possible that my mother will be hurt," said Van and went on to explain what had happened. He was glad that someone else knew but he hoped that no one else would have to know after this.
Irvine was really appalled when Van finished explaining the whole reason behind everything. He had serious doubts that Amy was innocent in all of this but had nothing to back it up. "That bastard, how could he do something like that?" Irvine asked angrily with his teeth clenched.
"I know, but I can't do anything. I don't have any thoughts about breaking up with Amy unless she actually gives me some anyways. Oh, and by the way. If you do tell anyone about this I will have to hurt you. No one knows about this but us, not even our friends," said Van with a too serious look on his face as he cracked his knuckles.
"Chill out. I said that I wouldn't, and I won't. I am a man of my word," said Irvine with a grin. "besides, I would much rather eat scorpions than rat out my old friend anyways. She seems happy with this friendship of yours. None of this will ever come out of my mouth," Irvine said pretending to zip his mouth shut.
Van just rolled his eyes at the small display but he couldn't help but laugh a bit. "You better not," said Van eyeing Irvine carefully although something told him that he could trust him. 'He is Fiona's friend after all and she has known him for years. I will just have to trust him,' Van thought before the three of them started to walk again.
