A/N: Dedicated to Allybally who uploaded Watch the Sky on the forum and because I spooked her out. ;)
Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the plot. It's sad, I know.
"You know, PMSing, heard there was a pill that could, you know, rid you of the mood swings." He smirked and awaited her retort but Cody was too seething with anger to say anything. Squib noted how her face was the same colour as her hair but thought best not to mention it to her, in fear of his life. But in a fraction of a second the redhead's face had turned white as if she had seen a ghost. But in fact it was the hand that was peeking from behind the backseat that had turned her rosy cheeks pale.
Chapter4The atmosphere in the van grew quiet and Squib gulped, not sure what to take from Cody's sudden change in behavior. She didn't look angry anymore; in fact she looked somewhat terrified. Squib had never seen her this way. Her blue eyes were opened wide, not daring to blink, her mouth in a firm thin line but he could see her bottom lip quiver. She took a step backwards, stumbling a bit and almost falling. She opened her mouth as if about to say something but quickly closed it. Okay, now he was just creeping her out.
"Cody? You okay? You look really pale." It was true; Cody's usual peachy colour was replaced with a shade as white as a sheet of paper. Squib was half-expecting her to give him some smart-ass remark but she simply raised a finger, pointing to the back of the van and then let her arm fall to her side. He gave her a skeptical look, maybe she was just acting, trying to get him back for before. If that was the case, she was a really, really, good actress.
Curiosity finally got to him and he slowly turned his head in the direction she had been pointing to. At first he hadn't seen anything but his eyes quickly fell onto the hand. Squib could tell right away that the hand was connected to a body and that it belonged to a Caucasian male. He had absolutely no idea how his brain was able to process all that information within seconds, but it did. He let out a short scream, which on any other occasion would've gotten Cody roaring in laughter.
And then she heard it; a faint snicker and her expression fell to a disappointed frown. Cody bent down and took off one her red flip-flops from her foot and threw it, nailing the hand. She placed her hands on her hips in a very Tannis-manner and shook her head in disbelief. The hand quickly disappeared into the trunk and Squib spun around wondering what had possessed Cody to throw the shoe in the first place.
"You jerk!" She screamed, throwing her hands up in the air and marching towards the back.
"What? I didn't do anything!" Squib said defensively
"Not you, idiot." Cody pushed him out of her way and poked her head into the trunk where she saw Justin huddled in the corner.
The loser.
He was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe and Cody was thoroughly disgusted. He scrambled to his feet, regaining his composure and sliding his hand through his dark hair that was styled to perfection.
"You should've heard that scream, I've never heard anything like it." He mocked, climbing out of his hiding spot.
"You're such a stalker-ish freak!" Cody accused, throwing her other shoe at his head but he didn't so much as flinch.
"Honestly, rubber doesn't really hurt." He shrugged
"What the hell! Justin!" Squib blurted after everything had registered. "I thought a hockey star like you would have something better to do then just hang out in the back of a van."
"Oh trust me, nothing is better than hearing you scream like a little schoolgirl who had just seen a spider. I would sacrifice a Stanley Cup, I have 5 by the way" He bragged, glancing to Cody who merely rolled her eyes "just to hear that scream. I wish I had thought of bringing a tape recorder. My mistake."
"That wasn't your only mistake!" Squib snarled, inching dangerously close to Justin.
"Squib, he's not worth it. Justin, get out." Cody barked, her red hair falling to her face, and she smiled sweetly as she saw Justin's face falter.
"Now, now, Cody-"
"No, Justin, out. Get out of the van, get out of my face and out of my life!"
"It's not over, Cody, I know how to get what I want."
"Sorry, but it's half-past annoying." She smirked glancing at her wrist as if she were looking at her watch. She watch Justin go red, recognizing the line 'half-past' from the night they had spent together taking pictures a few of months ago.
"This is your last chance, Myers, ask me to get of this car one more time and I swear to God you and McEnroe over there will regret it."
"I doubt it." Cody grinned, looking more confident then she actually felt. And with that Justin hopped out of the car and onto the side of the road looking seriously miffed. Squib stared at Cody as she got back into her seat and restarted the car.
"Cody, what exactly happened that day between you and Justin?"
A/N: Okay, so that was confusing and VERY short, wasn't it? Giveme a break I just walked 45 kms, I'm tired.
Alright, so I'll clear things up. The 'half-past' line comes from episode 22, Justin Time where Justin says something like "Well it's half-past embarrassing, I should get going" and the day that Squib is talking about is the day in episode 22 where Justin spends the morning alone with Cody at her house.
Hope that clears things up. BTW, this chapter is supposed to get you confused in a way. LoL, just review, you know the drill ;)
Next Time: Flashbacks, a longer chapter and a peeved Squib.
