It's been hard with speeches, projects, tests, essays, and extra essays for being a bad student….. Anyway, on with the chappie!
Chapter 9: A Date to Remember
"Well, Cory's date's probably going downhill," Freddy sat on a spare stool, "and it's thanks to me."
Crystal smiled sadly, "Don't worry I'm sure he's going fine. Cory always pulls through….. Too bad I don't have any bobby pins. I could have gotten us out easily."
Both gawked around the room, feeling completely stupid and brainless. They had gotten stuck inside the janitor's supply closet, where the door was jammed. Crawling inside the vent was out of the question. Reason being, neither of them were tiny enough to fit through it. Freddy's shoulder's had gotten stuck, and Crystal's 'feminine features' couldn't 'breathe', and she was convinced her bum was too big to fit anyway.
"When the movie's over, the next janitor is supposed to come back, which should be in about an hour." Freddy informed.
"And what's the probability of that happening?" She questioned.
"……. A million to one." He answered.
"No……." She laughed and moaned in vain. She sighed and turned her attention back to Freddy, "Any important information that is worthy to be shared?"
He thought for a while and smirked, "Zack and Katie did it."
She punched him playfully, "We're not supposed to be discussing this……. But did Zack give details?" She then grabbed a crate excitedly and sat on it.
"Yep. He seemed excited actually." He laughed.
Crystal giggled, "Okay, well share. Katie was going to tell me tonight, but I'm probably not going to her with this little mishap."
"You'll find out soon enough. I don't know how to say this in a giggly, girl way and it would come out better if Katie said it herself." Freddy shrugged.
"I guess you have a point…. But could you just tell me what Zack thought? I mean, that's the only part that matters. What they think………" She asked, with pleading eyes.
"Fine…… It was the best he's ever had. Zack's had- uh, never mind." Freddy cut himself off short.
Crystal gave a quizzical stare, "I thought Zack was a virgin. That's what Katie said."
"Well, of course he isn't now. I mean, they just had sex." He laughed nervously.
She 'ogled' at him with a deadpan expression, "You know what I'm talking about, Mr. Jones. Now, spill."
He scratched his head uneasily, "Before Katie…… Zack kind of went around town……."
"Is he bisexual?"
"NO!"
She smoothened out her t-shirt, "Okay, I was just checking because you never know. But, yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard this story before. Passive man gets a little somethin-somthin from everyone and doesn't really care for long term commitment, until he comes to terms with one of his best friends AKA Katie. They both discover that they have a strong bond and decide to give it a try. That try will be the last try they ever need because now, Zack has realized that he actually does love Katie, and when they had sex, they both reciprocated their feelings to each other."
She explained the whole story to Freddy, while looking for her keys. The blonde haired fellow just stood there agape. She was good.
"That is practically the whole story…… Did someone tell you?" Freddy asked, still amazed.
"No, I'm just a teeny-bopper movie fanatic." She shrugged and he shook his head with a smile.
Soon, the minutes turned into an hour, then 2 hours, and then three. Crystal was not amused, "This is ridiculous! Hello!" She started banging the door profusely.
Freddy heaved a sigh, "It's no use….. Wait, what's that?" He noticed a handle sticking out from a stack of boxes. He stood up and gently pushes the boxes a side. Suddenly, a door was revealed.
"Is it locked?" Crystal asked, walking towards Freddy and the door.
Freddy shrugged and both of them gazed intensely at the knob. She crossed her fingers and Freddy slowly turned the handle and the door opened.
Crystal jumped, "Yes!... Now, where does it lead?"
"I don't know… but that's what we're going to find out. Come with me." Freddy held out his hand.
Crystal slipped her hand into his and they both walked along the dark path, until they reached a flight of stairs.
"Am I blind? I think I am because I can't see anything." She stomped frustrated.
"You're not blind. Now, we've reached some stairs, so you're going to really have to hold my hand tightly." Freddy tried to feel some of the steps with his feet.
"Aw, are you going to fall?" Crystal said in a sappy voice.
Freddy smirked in the darkness, "No, this is for your benefit. You have a tendency to fall, trip, or do the unimaginable, so I figure that this will help you." He laughed.
"Hahahaha….. Very funny, Jones. Just lead the way," She tightened her grip in his hand, as to hurt him, but it worked to no avail.
The blond chuckled, "If you're trying to hurt me, you're not even the tiniest bit close to it."
"I'm just holding on tight like you said. Maybe, we wouldn't have to- AH!" Like Freddy had imagined and thought, Crystal tripped on her shoelace and almost fell down all the stairs they had just walked up. Luckily, Freddy was there to catch her.
"Don't you dare laugh." She warned him.
Freddy contained his laughter and they both continued up the steps. "You're really something."
"Something good or bad?"
"Something crazy. That's for sure." Freddy pointed out.
Crystal laughed, "I get that a lot."
Finally, both of them made it up the steps to a door. They figured a door was there when Freddy smacked his head into the smooth structure and jammed his rib into the handle.
Crystal laughed, "I guess I'm not the only one who's 'really something'."
"I am really something. Something really hot." Even though it was pitch black, Crystal swore she almost could see Freddy smirking in the dark.
Out of no where, Crystal screamed as if she was about to fall.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Freddy asked, not sounding completely worried, as he was about to laugh.
Crystal took steady breaths, "Don't worry, I just almost fell….. Your ego was getting so big it was pushing me off the ledge."
His laughing smile disappeared, "Very funny."
Crystal laid her hand, on what appeared to be Freddy's shoulder, "Well, this corny joke and your new high cockiness level wouldn't have happened if you would just open the door."
"Alright, alright, alright." Freddy twisted the handle and both gave a sigh of relief as they heard a clicking noise. The door slid open and both teenagers filled their nostrils with the fresh air of the outside, even if they were near a dumpster. Soon, both of them were well on their way back home.
"Next adventure is choir with Mike and auditions for your band." Crystal jammed her hands into her pockets.
Freddy smiled, "So, you're auditioning?"
"I guess so. I haven't been great with crowds, but I need this."
"I think you'll do fine…….. Hmmm…..if you do make it, plus 2 two other members, you guys are going to have to compete with Marta and Tomika for the solo now." He informed.
Crystal gave an uneasy smile as they arrived at their houses. "Thanks for adding the ten pound boulders on my shoulders."
"Your welcome. See you on Monday." Freddy flashed his smile and they both walked to their porches.
Without a doubt, every problem and question in everyone's mind would be solved and answered on Monday. After Monday, a whole new beginning would set in………………………..
