Chapter 2 (Tommy's Day)

6:00am., February 13, 2003, Reefside, CA, Dr. O's House

Tommy's POV

Stupid alarm clock, doesn't know that I don't want to go to work today? I just want to sleep until Monday. Maybe I can ask Hayley to knock me out until Monday? Nah, she wouldn't do it, not with Mesosag around and wanting to revert the Earth back to the prehistoric age. I better get up and head for school!

Reefside High school, Dr. O's Classroom

Normal POV

Conner, Ethan, Trent, and Kira look at the clock for the fifth time: 8:20am, ten minutes past the time class was to start. They were surprised the rest of their classmates are still waiting for Dr. O, but he did instill the fear of God in them. Even though he is usually late, but only by two or three minute, this so not like Dr. O.

"Where is Dr. O? He is never this late." Conner questions.

"Maybe he ran into some trouble?" Kira suggests.

"He would have called us." Ethan points out.

Tommy stumbles into the class room, papers flying out of his briefcase. His hair is messy with his glasses on top of his; his black shirt is half-tugged in. His tan coat is mis-buttoned (you know when you miss a button, but still button the rest of the coat); his tan khaki look like he pulled them out of the bottom of his hamper, which he did. Even his shoes don't match; otherwise he is a complete mess.

"Alright, open your books to Chapter 14 and read silently." Dr. O commands. Everyone, but his team, compels. The foursome approach his desk.

"Dr. O, are you alright?" Kira worries.

"I'm fine!" Tommy snaps. Kira whimpers. Conner, Ethan, and Trent glare at Tommy. "Sorry, Kira, it's not your fault. Today is just a really bad day, okay? (She nods.) No practice tonight or tomorrow. Now get back to your seats." Tommy states with a calmer voice.

The rest of the day went on pretty uneventful; though Tommy did snap a couple of more times at the students. He rushes past the students to get to his; he starts it up and speeds away.

4:30pm, Dr. O's House

Tommy parks his jeep; he grabs an unmarked brown bag. The two bottles inside kink against each other; he heads into the house, places the bag on the kitchen counter, and pulls out the bottles. He places one in the frig, opens the one labeled "Dom. Chandon NV Blanc de Noirs" (Californian wine) and pours himself a glass. He takes the bottle and glass into the living room and turns on the TV.

Tommy's POV

Is there any way for this weekend to be over? Maybe I'll ask Billy and Trini if they can invent a time machine that sends a person into the near future, like two days into the future. So I can put this whole holiday behind me. You may ask ' what is so wrong Valentine's Day?'. I would tell you besides the fact it is the same day as my ex-girlfriend's, the Love of My Life, birthday. It also happens to be the same day that my so-called Love of My Life sent me The Letter. Capital T. Capital L. The Letter that told me all about the new guy in her life. I tried to get over her, I really did. I dated Kat, now my best friend's wife, as you can tell that didn't work out. Then I dated a striking hazelnut-hair woman that for a brief two minutes I thought I could marry, but she found IT, The Letter, in my wallet with pictures, yes plural three to be exact, of Her. She dumped me. You would think after The Letter that she sent me that I would stop loving Her.

But I can't. I realize after the hazelnut beauty that no woman would ever compare to Her. I wanted to hate Her! I wanted to not love Her, but I couldn't. So here I am trying to drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine and tomorrow it will be a bottle of gin. No, I'm not an alcoholic. I have the occasionally beer, but once a year I buy a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin, one for the eve of V-Day and the other for V-Day. It dulls the pain, but I can never get rid of it completely.

Brrring.

Normal POV

The phone interrupts Tommy's thoughts. Tommy grabs the phone, "Oliver Resident, Tommy speaking."

"You do realize that you are the only Oliver at this address, right?" A friendly voice worries over his friend's sanity or forgetfulness.

"Yes, Jas, I do, but for employment reason, I have to answer like that. So I'm assuming that you called for a reason, other than to harass me on my phone etiquette."

"Yeah, I have a date for you tomorrow! The whole gang will be there: me and Kat; Billy and Trini, Zack and Angela, Rocky and Aisha, Adam and Tanya; Justin and Krista; and you and your date."

"Jas, you know that don't go out tomorrow."

"Bro, sitting in your big, lonely house, drinking your sorrows away is not a solution to your pain. It is time for you to get over this. I am picking you up at 2pm before we pick up your date . . ."

"But . . ."

Jason continues, like he didn't hear Tommy's interruption, "I will drag you in whatever you are wearing or whatever state you are in!"

Click. Jason hangs up before Tommy can argue anymore. Tommy slams the receiver down and glares at the phone, like it is its fault for his blind date.

Tommy's POV

Great! Just GREAT! There goes my perfect weekend! I guess I should at least dress nice for this unfortunate woman because her date is going to be awful. Poor, poor woman. Maybe Jas will feel pity for her and cancel this date. I doubt it. I guess I better put this wine away.

AN: Chapter 3 will be much longer! I hope you enjoyed it!
