Fiona rolled over and slammed her hand down upon her annoying alarm clock the next Monday morning. Her weekend had been the happiest ever with the wonderful surprise that Van had given her for her birthday. Now she had to go and face the reality that she was forced to go through.
She looked at her right ring finger and smiled when she noticed the beautiful ring that Van had given her for her birthday. She swore when she put it on that she would never take it off for the rest of her life, no matter what would happen between her and Van. It was just too precious to her. It wasn't that it was a beautiful ring; it was that Van had given it to her that made her love it. It was a gift to show how much he truly loved her.
'I wonder if there will ever be a time that we will finally be able to be together out in public or if we have to be forced to be secretive about it for the rest of our lives,' Fiona thought as she buried her head in her pillow, not wanting to get up and go to school for the day.
"Fiona, it is time to get up," her mother said sternly walking into the room and pulling the pillow off of Fiona's head since Fiona had thrown it over her when her mother first walked into the room.
Fiona grabbed the pillow from her mother throwing it back over her head only to have it pulled off again a second later. She turned and laid on her back staring at the ceiling. "I don't want to go to school today," she mumbled while her mother just stood there waiting for her daughter to get up.
"I am well aware of that right now but you have to go to school or else you will start to fall behind everyone else. Besides, you will have Van and all of your other friends there. Isn't that enough to get you to go?" her mother asked softly sitting on the bed next to Fiona.
"Not really. I want to be with Van at school but he is forced to give his attention to someone else and completely ignore me in the process," Fiona whined burying her face into her mattress.
Her mother frowned since she had heard this complaint far too many times before. They only increased within the month since the change in their relationship. She loved Van dearly but she hated to see her only daughter so sad because he was with someone else. She just couldn't figure out why he was with someone else when he clearly loved her daughter. "Come on Fiona, you still need to get up. Try and look on the positive side of things and it will get you through the day," she said with a smile before she left the room.
Fiona groaned knowing that her mother was right. She stumbled out of her bed and headed to the bathroom to get a quick shower. When she was done, she had a quick breakfast before rushing out of the house.
When Fiona arrived at the school, it was still rather empty. She was early and she welcomed the silence that it brought. She walked through the halls and towards her locker. She passed by an empty classroom when a hand came out and pulled her inside. She was scared until she saw that it was Van. "Don't do that Van!" she said startled by what he did.
"I am sorry Fiona; I just really needed to see you right now. So I came early hoping to get you alone before everyone else got here," he said before bringing his lips crashing down upon hers.
She wasn't the least bit startled by this and brought herself even closer to Van, deepening the kiss in the process. She knew that this really wasn't the place but she just couldn't help herself. There was a piece of her heart lost everytime that he was gone and she just yearned for the next time she could be with him again.
Van broke the kiss when he realized that other students were already starting to come into the building. "I know we won't get to talk to each other, but just remember that I love you Fiona," he said giving her a quick kiss before he snuck out into the hall blending in with the rest of the students.
Fiona just sat there for a few minutes after that. She still had some time before the bell rang. 'Why must I love Van when I can't be with him? I just wish that I could stand in front of everyone and scream that I love him,' she thought before standing up and walking out of the room unnoticed by the rest of the students.
"Were you having fun in there Fiona?" a voice suddenly said from behind her making her jump and turn around to find Moonbay with a mischievous smirk plastered onto her face.
Fiona chuckled nervously looking around for some sort of escape. She couldn't find any unfortunately. "What are you talking about Moonbay?" she said with a smile that anyone who knew who could tell that it was fake.
"Oh please, I saw Van pull you into that empty classroom even if no one else saw it," she whispered so no one would hear and was glad when Fiona gave her a guilty looking face while scratching her head. Something caught Moonbay's eye then. "Whoa! Where did you get this?" Moonbay asked staring at the ring. "I don't remember it from Friday. Did he give it to you?" Moonbay asked referring to Van.
Fiona's head nodded with a bright smile on her face. "He did. It isn't its beauty or its price that I like about it, it is that it was from Van that makes me love it," she said and a slight blush on her cheeks.
"You definitely look happy about it. I must say though, he had to spend quite a bit of money for such a fine piece of jewelry as this. It definitely looks good on you though. But since I am your best friend in the whole world, do you think that I can have it?" Moonbay asked jokingly.
Fiona chuckled and shook her head no. "Sorry Moonbay. I do not even plan to ever take it off until the day that I die, no matter what happens," Fiona said with a bright smile at her friend's antics. Moonbay always did like expensive things, even if she couldn't get them herself.
Moonbay laughed at this. "I know you will. You might want to be careful. People might start to wonder where you got such a fine piece of jewelry from. They all know your family doesn't have that much money. I will be glad to take it then," she said wrapping her arm around Fiona's shoulders.
'Leave it to Moonbay to continue trying,' Fiona thought with a chuckle. "Thanks for the offer but I will put up with anything that anyone has to say about it," Fiona said as the two of them walked into the classroom and took a seat at their desks.
Van walked into the classroom a few minutes later, and after the bell rang, as usual. He looked to be in a relatively good mood after their rendezvous the empty classroom. He managed a side glance at Fiona for a second before Amy pulled him down into his seat complaining how he needs to get here on time more often. The teachers were used to it though so they didn't do anything.
Fiona, Moonbay, and Irvine all sat at their regular table at lunch later in the day. "So Fiona, prom is only two months away, have you picked out a dress for it yet?" Moonbay asked although she had a feeling that Fiona hadn't even thought about it up till now.
"No, not exactly. I am actually thinking of just not going to it," Fiona said which earned her a smack in the back of the head, courtesy of Moonbay. "What was that for?" Fiona asked rubbing the back of her sore head.
"Come on Fiona. You only get to do something like this once. Who cares if you can't go with your first choice of people? You should at least try and make the best out of it. I may not have a boyfriend but Irvine and I just decided to go together for the heck of it," Moonbay said with a smirk.
Fiona looked a little confused. "I thought Irvine was your boyfriend," she said softly which earned a blush from Moonbay. "I mean, the two of you are always together, so I thought that you were a couple," Fiona said innocently eating the last of her food.
"No we're not!" both Moonbay and Irvine yelled in unison, both of their faces beat red at the mention of such a thing. They looked at each other for a second before looking away even redder than before if it was even possible.
"Sure could have fooled me," Fiona said earning her a glare from the two sitting with her. "Fine, if it will make you happy then I will go. Doesn't mean that I have to like it," Fiona said grouchily while leaning on her hand. She had always dreamed of going to the prom, but with her boyfriend, ever since she was little. Now she had one but couldn't go with him. 'It just isn't fair.'
"Great!" Moonbay said happily. She would have dragged Fiona there if she said no anyways. She was not going to let her best friend miss out on the most important day of their high school careers, besides graduation.
Fiona just didn't want to go if she couldn't be with Van but she knew that Moonbay wouldn't stop until she had her way. 'Who is there to go with though? Van is the only one I want to go with,' she thought sadly laying her head into her arms. Thomas had already offered but she didn't really want to go with him.
"You know Fiona; I overheard a few people talking about it and who they wanted as prom king and queen. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard some of them actually mention you. You are more popular than Amy gives you credit for," Moonbay said hoping that it would cheer Fiona up a bit.
Fiona looked at Moonbay with doubtful eyes. "The day I get elected for something like that, it will freeze in hell," Fiona said giving Irvine and Moonbay a funny look that said that she thought of it as nothing but a joke. She considered it a statistical impossibility.
"Wow! Fiona said hell. That's a first," Moonbay said jokingly as she chuckled a bit. "By the way Irvine, want to go skiing in hell?" Moonbay asked turning to the equally amused Irvine. Both of them were trying to hold in their laughter.
"Sure thing, it sounds like a lot of fun," the two said standing up and walking away since the bell had just rung. Both were still laughing when they left earning them confused glances from the rest of the students in the cafeteria. They just ignored it and continued on.
Fiona just rolled her eyes as she picked up her stuff and walked out of the cafeteria. 'Even if I did, I most likely won't win, anything that has to do with popularity, Amy always ends up winning. Then again, she does seem to get on many peoples nerves ever since that stunt she pulled on Valentines day,' she thought but just shrugged her shoulders and walked on.
The subject of prom court came up with Moonbay because they were going to elect who would be on it at two or three weeks from then and people were really starting to think who they wanted on it. They needed some time to get everything together and get everyone's vote before they told who would be on it then. They always did it at least a month before prom.
Fiona doubted she would get nominated. She got along with everyone in the school but that did not mean that she was liked enough to get nominated for something like prom court. She would only vote for herself and her friends for fun but she knew one vote wouldn't allow her to win.
Almost everyone expected Van and Amy to win, being the most popular students in the school. Fiona knew Van was more than likely going to win but she did not want Amy to win. 'Anyone but her,' she thought with a groan.
Little did Fiona know, but Irvine and Moonbay were already trying to sway people to voting for her. They wanted to knock Amy of her high horse. The woman was cocky and looked like she had no worries about losing it. She figured that everyone would just vote for her no matter what. They hated that arrogant attitude.
Prom was held in the middle of May for their school and March was nearing its end. They only had a month and a half till it happened and they wanted something good to be given to Fiona since she had suffered all through high school because of Amy and her jealousy.
They had been planning this all year. Many actually seemed interested in what they had to say. Amy ended up mocking them for what she called a pointless crusade. That they made them try twice as hard.
"You know Van, you really don't have to do this," Fiona said with a laugh as she saw Van running all over her kitchen. He had just appeared a few moments before and insisted that he make her something to eat since her mother was gone for the night.
"But I insist Fiona. What is wrong with me trying to make you something to eat for dinner," Van said with a fake pout but smiled when he heard Fiona laugh. "Besides, I like doing special things for you because it makes you smile," Van said placing down what was in his arms and walked over to Fiona.
Fiona wrapped her arms around Van when he grabbed her and held her in a hug. "I am not saying that it isn't sweet. It is just that it is unnecessary, I am happy enough to just be with you. That alone can bring a smile to my face," Fiona said and sighed when she felt him kiss her forehead.
"You're right Fiona; I didn't have to make you dinner. I wanted to make it for you. Now no more arguments," he said with a smile as he let go of her and went back to where all the food was laid out and ready to be used.
Fiona just shook her head with a laugh and walked towards Van. "Well, either way you put it, it is still a sweet gesture," she said giving him a peck on the cheek before leaving the room to give him some space to work.
"So Van, when is it that your family is going to move into your new house, or should I say mansion. That place was huge. Not the biggest I have ever seen but it was still big compared to my tiny home," Fiona said with a laugh indicating the small room that she was standing in.
"I have been packing my things all week and we should be moving there in about a week or so. Then my parents are leaving for a week or so on business and I intend to make the best of it. In other words, a party," Van said with a laugh. It was Friday and he had been packing since Moonbay when he got home from school.
Word had already gotten around school about Van's sudden richness. Even if he didn't have a party, some people would end up finding a way to have one without even consulting Van about it. There were too many party animals at their school.
Fiona couldn't help but giggle as well. "That sounds like a lot of fun," she said walking back into the kitchen when she smelled the food he was cooking. "Smells nice, is it spaghetti?" Fiona asked trying to get closer to see.
"Yeah, I hope that you don't mind. It is kind of the only thing I know how to make that doesn't come straight from a box," Van said scratching the back of his head with a small chuckle.
"Sounds good to me. I like spaghetti a lot. I am sure that it will taste great," Fiona said wrapping her arms around him. She knew it made it hard for him to cook but she was only fooling around with him a bit. It wasn't like they really got that much time to be together. It was really starting to get on her nerves.
"Let's hope. I am definitely not the best for cooking," Van said just allowing Fiona to hold him because he found it to be the best feeling in the world. "You're welcome to come to the party if you want, it is for the whole senior class since I will definitely have enough space for it," Van said putting all his attention on the food.
"Won't Amy be mad if she sees me there? We are supposed to hate each other and being at your place would look kind of suspicious," Fiona said although for once she actually wanted to just let go and enjoy the party.
"Irvine said he would take the blame if that question came up but I am sure that no one will really care. They will be enjoying themselves too much to take notice of one person," Van said just shrugging his shoulders. "Here, taste this," he said holding up a bit of sauce.
Fiona took a smile amount of it into her mouth and then smiled. "This is pretty good," Fiona said pecking him on the cheek before finally letting go while Van put some of the final touches on the food.
Van was about to start serving the food up when his cell phone started to ring. He groaned when he looked at who it was because this was supposed to be his time with Fiona and he knew Amy would end up doing something to unintentionally ruin the evening her had planned. "Hello?" Van said calmly into the phone.
"Where are you Van? I have been looking for you all night. Never mind. Listen, I need you to come over to my place for dinner tonight. It has been a while since we have been able to do something like that," Amy said with a small outing tone to her voice that she thought Van couldn't deny.
Van just knew that something like that was going to happen. "I can't, I'm sorry. I have a lot of things that I need to get done for next week and I have already eaten," Van lied looking at Fiona who sat on the couch with a pout of her own. He knew she hated it when he talked to Amy when they were trying to spend time together but it was something that he couldn't control right then.
"Come on Van. We never spend any time together lately. I am only asking you over for a dinner with my family," Amy whined over the phone. She was determined to get Van over there that night.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? We are together almost every second of the day," Van said knowing it was just her trying to make him feel guilty but he had long since seen past those tricks of hers. He was going to spend time with Fiona and no one was going to stop that.
Amy groaned over the phone in annoyance. "Fine! Have it your way! You will come over tomorrow for dinner and you are not getting out of it!" she said angrily before hanging up the phone much to Van's relief.
Van turned off his phone so he wouldn't be disturbed for the rest of the night. "Sorry about that Fiona. I wish I had just turned off my phone so that I could just pretend that I forgot and not had to pick it up," Van said dishing out the food and bringing it over to Fiona.
"Yeah, I know. I just wish that we didn't have to do all of this in secret. Then we could spend more time with each other without it being interrupted like a second ago," Fiona said in a calm voice but then her face saddened. "I'm sorry, I was being selfish by saying that," she said with a meaningless laugh.
Van just shook his head. "I have told you this a thousand times Fiona, you are not selfish. You just want what I want as well. We will have that time together eventually. I will do what I can until then," Van said with a smile while rubbing Fiona's shoulders which she obviously appreciated by the moan she let out. "Now, why don't we start eating before the food gets cold?" Van asked with a smile and was glad when Fiona nodded her head.
Van grunted and groaned as him and Irvine grabbed a hold of a rather heavy piece of furniture out of his old house. "Moving is a pain!" Van yelled in annoyance before setting the furniture down to get a small rest. Even with both of the strength, it was rather hard to move the object.
Irvine just glared at Van. "Quit complaining Van, I am not the one that is moving, and yet I still get stuck doing all of the hard work," he said stretching his arm where a cramp was starting to form. "You have money, why not pay people to do this?" he asked taking a seat.
Van took a seat on a chair that was opposite of Irvine. "No idea, this was all my dad's idea. He said that it builds character," Van said leaning back in the chair with a sigh. They had been working for most of the day and were only half way done. 'We had more things than I thought,' Van thought with a groan.
"Hey you two, no slacking off," Van's father yelled as he exited the back of the truck carrying all of the possessions. "We still have a lot of work to do. So get up and get to work," he said even though he knew they were tired. He was too but he wanted to get this done with.
Van just looked at his father like he was crazy. "You aren't the one that is carrying all of this heavy stuff. Just give us a breather," Van said taking in deep breaths of air. His father just went inside much to Van's relief.
After a minute or two of rest, Van and Irvine got back to work. They were all too happy when they were able to get the heavy desk that they were carrying into the truck. It was probably the heaviest thing in the house.
Irvine dusted off his hands and then stretched them as the two of them headed back into the house. "So, how much is there left for us to carry?" Irvine asked with a little reluctance. He was still trying to figure out how he had gotten dragged into this in the first place. 'Oh yeah, Van's father offered me money to do the work,' he thought with a groan.
"Most of the heavy stuff is finally out of the house. Now all we have is the thousands of boxes that are scattered all over the place. I get the feeling that this will be much harder," Van said with a yawn. He had to wake up early to get started.
'That's just great, I better get paid a lot for this,' Irvine thought as he trudged over to the boxes. He picked on up and noticed that even the boxes were heavier than he expected them to be. "You guys have a lot of junk," he said leaving the house.
Van couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, I guess that we do," he said picking up a box of his own. He too realized quickly how heavy the boxes were and that he needed to adjust it before he dropped it onto himself. He walked towards the door but came to a stop when he heard the voices of his mother and Fiona in another room.
Fiona had volunteered to help and his mother and her were packing all the boxes while the men carried them out to the truck. Van was happy that she was so willing to help them. She always was willing to help others without any rewards for herself.
Van was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a tap on his shoulder which caused him to jump and nearly lose the box that he was holding. He turned around to see Amy standing there. "A-Amy, what are you doing here?" Van asked a little nervously hoping that she wouldn't hear his mother and Fiona's conversation.
Amy just raised an eyebrow to him. "What is so wrong about coming to see you? We have been barely able to speak all week because of the packing," Amy said as if it was the most obvious thing. "Why, are you hiding something?" she asked in a playful tone.
Van chuckled a little but didn't sound too suspicious. "Of course not, why would I be?" Van asked sounding almost convincing. Amy didn't seem to notice though. 'I need to find a way to get her to leave, but how?" Van asked himself as if in deep thought.
"I say that it is about time that you moved out of this small place. Nothing very fitting of someone like you," she said although she seemed to be trying to keep her distance right then.
Van just rolled his eyes. 'Fiona always liked it here,' he thought grouchily. He suddenly had an idea since he noticed what it was that Amy was doing. This brought a smirk to his face and made him look like he always used to look when in her presence. 'This ought to be fun,' he thought highly amused.
She was keeping her distance because he was all sweaty and she didn't want to get it on her clean clothes. It was pretty obvious that it was a new dress that she had on and that she didn't want it ruined.
"Oh come on, it isn't all that bad. I always found it rather cozy. How can you say differently," Van said approaching her while she took a step or two back. He raised his arm and was about to put it around her shoulders when she jumped out of his reach.
"I had something to say but maybe I should just leave and come back later when you are cleaner to tell you about it," she said turning around and walking towards the door. She stopped right at the door and thought out loud. "Why do all this manual work?" she muttered to herself but Van managed to hear.
"I do it because it is so much fun. You should give it a try sometime. You will find that it can be really refreshing," Van said contrary to all of his earlier complaining that he was doing when they were moving the desk.
Amy gave a disgusted look. "No thanks," she said giving him an odd look before walking out of the door just as Irvine came in. She shook her head figuring that she would never understand how Van's family thought.
Van watched out the door as she walked away before giving a triumphant pose. "Success!" he said with a victorious grin before picking the box back up and walking out towards the truck once again like he was doing before Amy appeared.
"Nice job Van. I couldn't stop her from coming in. Luckily you managed to get her to leave before she noticed that Fiona was here," Irvine said grabbing another box before leaving right behind Van. 'That would have proven to be an interesting sight if she did. I wonder how Van would have gotten out of that mess,' Irvine thought with a grin.
"Got her to what?" Fiona asked coming down the halls of the house, completely unaware of the events that had just happened in this place. "What's going on out here?" Fiona asked as Fiona and Irvine came walking back into the house.
"Nothing to worry about Fiona. Amy stopped by for a surprise visit. I managed to get her to leave quickly enough before she figured out that you were here," Van said while grabbing another box and taking it out to the truck. He gave Fiona a quick kiss on the cheek and she wasn't even disgusted despite the fact he was all sweaty.
Fiona giggled lightly and playful hit him on the arm. "You're all sweaty," she said but that didn't stop her from giving him a kiss on the cheek as well. "Oh yeah, you're mother told me to tell you that everything is packed and only needs to be loaded into the truck now," she said with a smile before walking away to join his mother again.
Van looked around and saw that there was only about twenty or so boxes left. "We really do have too much stuff," he said while shaking his head. "Oh well, better get to work," he said with a sigh.
Van slumped against the wall when they had finally managed to get the last of the boxes on the truck. It had been an exhausting day. They had worked from morning till night and everyone was exhausted.
"If you guys move again, don't call me," Irvine groaned as he fell to the floor and laid still as if he was dead. All of his muscles were sore and incapable of moving even the slightest amount. "What was in those boxes anyways, anvils?" he asked just staring at the top of the ceiling.
"How'd you guess?" Van asked sarcastically since he was in basically the exact same state as Irvine. "The joy comes tomorrow when we get to unload everything," Van said causing Irvine to panic.
"Don't even think about calling me for that!" Irvine said suddenly finding energy and jumping to his feet. "I'll see you all later unless it has to do with moving into your place," he said leaving the door.
"He forgot his pay," Van's father said making everyone in the room laugh. "We only had to do this today because I couldn't find anyone to help and it had to get done today. Tomorrow, actual movers will finish the job by taking it to our new place and unloading it. So don't fret about it," he said leaning against the wall as well since there was no place to sit.
"Thank god!" Van yelled happily holding Fiona's hand tightly since she was sitting right next to him. "So where are we going to sleep tonight, since all of our beds and stuff are packed and on the truck?" Van asked what was on everyone's mind.
"Fiona's mother offered to let us use their guest room for the night," Van's father said. He knew that it was small and that Van would probably sleep in Fiona's room anyways. They all trusted the two of them not to do anything inappropriate so they allowed the two of them to do such things.
"Well I am going to take this chance and get a quick shower before we leave," Van said since they were taking their clothes with them instead of on the truck. He got up and left Fiona's warm embrace and walked towards his old room where his suitcase was located.
Van's mother watched Fiona as Van left the room and noticed she looked kind of sad. 'I am curious as to what is going on between them,' she thought with a look of concentration. "Fiona, why is it that Van won't leave Amy when he is obviously in love with you?" she asked. It had been on both her and her husband's mind for a long time.
Fiona suddenly tensed up a bit because she wasn't suspecting that to suddenly be brought up. "W-what do you mean by that?" she asked nervously which was quickly picked up by the elder couple. "I think I better get going, my mom is expecting me home soon," she said before quickly running out of the house with a sigh of relief.
"She is avoiding answering the question. Coming from someone who is always honest, that could only mean that something is up," Van's mother said suspiciously as she looked at the door to where Van had left to a minute before.
"Don't get too deep into it dear. They're teenagers and are allowed to have secrets. If it was serious then I am sure that they would have told us. Just give them their space and they will tell us about it when they are ready," Dan said standing up and taking his wife with him.
"I guess you are right. I just hope that nothing bad will come of it. Van has something good in Fiona and I don't want to see him ruin it because he decided to stay with Amy. Him and Fiona were made for each other!" she said growing more and more aggravated at the subject.
Dan just laughed at his wife's antics. She never was one to keep things to herself if she didn't have to. 'Much like Van in a way,' he thought with a smile as he let go and walked to the spare bathroom. "I know, but it is their choice," he said before he disappeared.
By the time that they got there the next morning, all the stuff had already been unloaded from the truck and was placed in each persons respectful rooms much to Van's relief because he was still sore from the previous day.
"The place already looks pretty good. There are some other things coming in soon that should complete the house," Dan said with an impressed whistle. "Why don't we get what we have unpacked? That is a good enough start for today," he said walking up the stairs to his and his wife's room.
Van walked up the stairs to his own room. He opened the door and saw all of his boxes scattered all over the place. His bed and stuff wasn't where he would want them to be but he knew he would just have to rearrange things later.
Van fell down upon his bed and stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. It was so strange being in this new room. He knew that he would have to get used to it though. 'Not that that will be hard. It will be nice to live in luxury,' Van thought with a grin which he lost when he looked at the boxes. "Looks like I have to get to work," Van said before standing up and walking to the first box.
Most of the boxes Van could remember and easily tell which of his stuff were where. There were also a few newer boxes that looked like they carried things that had yet to be touched. 'Most likely dad just got some of them,' Van thought with a chuckle as he walked over to one of the new boxes.
"Awesome!" Van yelled in excitement when he learned that it was a large flat screen TV. He had never had a TV of his own before and he was really excited. The other boxes just had some new clothes and stuff like that, mostly just necessity items. 'Figures,' Van thought highly amused.
"I must say that this is definitely a great improvement over your old place," Amy's voice came from out of nowhere causing Van to turn around to see that she was standing in the doorway. "Sorry I just came in but the door was left wide open," she said although she didn't really sound all that sorry.
"I don't know, I found my old room rather cozy. I actually kind of miss it," Van said only to receive a confused glance from Amy. "Hey, you have always lived in luxury, this is still rather new to me so don't get on my case about why I like to live the way I used to," Van said in an agitated voice.
"Don't yell at me because of it! I was merely stating what I felt was the truth!" Amy said not feeling like taking anything like that from Van. "I see you still kept your old bed," Amy said with a sly smile as she walked over and sat on it. "Why don't you come over and join me on it," she said with a seductive smile.
Van just rolled his eyes before digging into boxes. "Exactly how many times are we going to go over this?" Van asked with a groan. 'Whatever happened to women wanting to wait till they were married to do that?' Van asked himself mentally.
"Come on Van, you are absolutely no fun," she said with a fake pout but she went ignored as Van just continued to dig things out of his boxes and putting them on the floor. "Don't tell me that you are going to unpack when I am here Van. Let's do something. I am bored," she groaned before falling onto the bed.
"If you are bored then you should just leave. Besides, I want to get this all finished as soon as possible. You will have your fun with the party I am holding this Saturday. So just wait till then," Van said throwing and empty box to the side and then digging into another.
"But that is so long from now," she said although in reality, it was only two days away. She just went ignored by Van and that annoyed her. "Fine! Have it your way! I know when I am not wanted," she said with a pout as she walked towards the door.
Van sighed because he knew that he had no other choice but to play it her way. "Listen, I just have had a lot to do lately and I want to get everything done so I can rest a little," Van said in a tired tone. It was really only one of the smaller reasons that he didn't hang out with Amy. "How about I just take you out tonight, will that be fine with you?" he asked as he leaned against a wall.
Amy smiled brightly because that was what she had been going for. "Ok then, I forgive you for ignoring me, but be sure to take me out someplace nice tonight," she said with a wave of her hand before running out of the room just as his father was walking into the room.
"Hm, I didn't even know that she was here," he said more to himself than to the only other person in the room. "So what do you think Van? It's nice, isn't it?" his father asked as he looked around the room. "Consider the TV a really early Christmas present," he said jokingly.
"It is really nice but so different from my old room. It will take a while to get it a way that I would like it to be but I think it will be a nice room," Van said as he stared around the really large room.
"Good to know. I will help you get the TV set up later today. Just try and get this place cleaned up a bit first," he said and started to walk out of the room before he stopped. "Oh by the way, since you are having that party this weekend, try to keep the house intact," he said with a laugh since he had already given Van permission to hold the party.
"Will do," Van said before turning back to the boxes while trying to remember which one held his bed supplies. He wanted to get a nap in because he was still tired after all they did yesterday.
It was silent for a few minutes after that. "Ah-ha!" Van yelled as he finally located the box in the large mess of boxes that were scattered all around. "Found you!" he said dragged a box out from it spot buried under several other boxes.
He opened the boxes and got out his bed items and threw them onto the bed. "Maybe I should get this place a little more sorted out before I do anything," he said since he could barely move around the room without accidentally kicking a box or two in the process. He got to work and had that done in about twenty minutes.
"A party sounds like a lot of fun, wouldn't you say Fiona?" Moonbay asked as she dragged Fiona throughout the mall. She was trying to find Fiona a bathing suit for the party that would turn all heads. She was attempting to drive Van nuts in the process.
"Sure, I guess that it does. I just hope that Amy won't try to pick some sort of fight with me while I am there. I am going to enjoy myself and I don't want anything to ruin that," Fiona said in all honesty. "Why is it she hates me? I have never done anything to her on purpose," Fiona said looking around at the store. She had thought of that question for years and could never find a true answer.
"Fairly simple answer to that Fiona, it is that she is jealous. She knows people like you and she feels threatened that everyone will like you better than her. She does what she does because she wants you to just bow at her feet like the rest of the school but you never do as she wants. She feels like you will take everything from her. Look at what you have taken from her already," Moonbay said not mentioning names since they were in a public place.
"Her jealousy is what got me what I have now. Guess you can say that it is now having an opposite affect of what she had originally had intended," Fiona said with a laugh as they entered a store that had what they were looking for.
Moonbay couldn't help but laugh at that situation. "Definitely not something that she originally had intended," she said as she looked through swim suits. It had been extremely warm there lately which was getting on everyone's nerves. Van had a pool and everyone intended to take advantage of the situation.
"How about this one Moonbay?" Fiona asked holding one up but Moonbay just shook her head. Fiona just put it back on the rack. "So what is it that we are looking for in specific?" Fiona asked hoping it wouldn't be anything that was too drastic.
Moonbay couldn't help but smirk at Fiona's question. "If Van is going to play by their game, we will play our own with his mind. Just for a little fun. He shouldn't have to ignore you because of what Amy tells him to do. We are going to piss her off because no one's attention will be on her when they see you," Moonbay said with a laugh and spotted the perfect thing.
Fiona looked at the swimsuit that Moonbay held up and gulped. 'Oh great,' Fiona thought with a chuckle. "That will do just fine Moonbay," Fiona said, glad that it wasn't anything as bad as she had thought of what Moonbay would choose.
Moonbay clapped her hands in delight and beamed. "Great! Now I saw we are ready to turn a few heads at the party this weekend. This is going to be fun," Moonbay said rubbing her hands together giving her a rather sinister look upon her face. Nothing that Made Fiona feel too good.
