Marco goes back to Dylan's room and lies down next to him.
"Hey where did you go?" Dylan
"To talk to Paige. Something is up with her." Marco
"Like what?" Dylan
"Not too sure." Marco
"Well what did she say?" Dylan
"Nothing. Lets just not worry about her." Marco
"Ok, Lets worry about us." Dylan
"What about us?" Marco says sitting up.
"Calm down, there's nothing to worry about. We are fine and will be forever." Dylan
"Are you just trying to convince yourself?" Marco
"No, Marco what is with you lately?" Dylan asks rubbing Marco's back.
"Nothing, I'm just…moody I guess." Marco says getting up and leaving Dylan's room
"Where are you going?" Dylan
"I need to think about some stuff." Marco says going into his room.
"Ok." Dylan says slightly confused.
Marco is laying on his bed thinking:
iI love him, but I feel so far away from him. I can't even talk to him about what I'm feeling. What is wrong with me? What is wrong with Paige? I feel like screaming to clear all this jumble in my head./i
Just then Mrs. Michael Chuck yells up stairs to say dinner is ready. Marco goes to get Paige.
"Paige, Dinner is ready." Marco says walking into her room and trying to get her to wake up.
"Tell them I'm sick." Paige says still half asleep.
"Are you sure?" Marco
"Yeah" Paige says rolling over and looking away from Marco.
"Ok, Do you want anything?" Marco
"To be left alone." Paige
Marco walks out of the room and goes down stairs to dinner.
"Paige said she isn't feeling well and wants to be left alone." Marco says sitting down across the table from Dylan
"Well all right then." Mrs. Michael Chuck
"What's wrong with her?" Dylan
"She just said she felt sick." Marco says as he begins dishing food onto his plate.
"Weird" Dylan
"What?" Mr. Michael Chuck asks looking at Dylan
"Nothing." Dylan
They finish eating and Marco and Dylan clean up. While they are loading the dishwasher…
"What is weird?" Marco
"Well for one; Paige use to tell you everything, and second; she was fine this morning." Dylan
"Yeah I noticed too. She seemed fine at school too." Marco
"Did she go to Matt's after school?" Dylan
"I don't know you picked me up remember, but probably that's where she spent the summer." Marco
"I wonder what he did now." Dylan
"Ok, don't get all Macho quite yet." Marco
Dylan looks at him and laughs before wrapping his arms around him and kissing him hard.
"I love you." Dylan
"I love you too." Marco
It is the first full day of school for Marco and Paige. As they are walking to school;
"Ok, out with it Paige." Marco
"Out with what?" Paige
"Something is obviously wrong. You don't tell me half of the stuff you use too, and last night you were definitely hiding something." Marco
"I don't tell you anything anymore because you tell Dylan everything." Paige
"Ok, well what are you hiding? I swear I won't tell Dylan." Marco
"Nothing" Paige says turning away from Marco.
"Paige, get real I know that something happened yesterday." Marco
"Well I'm not going to tell you." Paige
"Ok fine, I just care about you." Marco
"No you don't you are just spying on me for Dylan." Paige
"That's not fair. I can't lie, and you know that." Marco
"Well that's why I'm not going to tell you what's wrong." Paige
"So there is something wrong?" Marco
Paige doesn't say anything else until they get to school.
"See you in MI." Paige says turning down a hallway away from Marco.
Marco thinks:
iI'm so glad I'm not into chicks. They are way to complicated sometimes./i
First period (MI) Mr. Simpson is going on and on about something and no one is really paying attention. Hazel and Paige are writing a note back and forth. Marco is trying to see what it says.
iWhat is with you Paige/i
bNothing…Well not nothing but I'm not going to tell you, not here./b
Paige then looks towards Marco indicating to Hazel that he is reading everything that they write. After MI Marco walks the opposite way as Paige and Hazel.
"Ok spill." Hazel
"I can't tell you here at all." Paige
"Then come over tonight and tell me." Hazel
"I can't I've got plans with Matt, but tomorrow." Paige
"Ok, its about time we had a girls night anyways." Hazel
Everything goes as normal they go to the rest of their classes and then Paige and Marco are walking home.
"I'm sorry." Marco
"Sorry, for what?" Paige
"Being nosy in MI this morning, and pressuring you into telling me what is wrong." Marco
"I understand that you care, but I don't want Dylan to find out. So you have to see why I'm not going to tell you." Paige
"Yeah I do. Its just I hate to lie especially to Dylan." Marco
"I understand that." Paige
It is Friday, Marco and Dylan are moving Dylan's stuff into his dorm.
"Hey lets stay here tonight." Dylan
"Ok." Marco
They finish taking stuff up to Dylan's dorm and then go to get something to eat. After dinner they go back to Dylan's dorm and fool around. Paige is at Hazel's house.
"Ok, now you can spill." Hazel
"I think I might be pregnant." Paige
"What? Are you serious?" Hazel
"Yeah, but I'm not sure yet." Paige
"Have you taken a test?" Hazel
"No, I wanted to talk to Matt about it first." Paige
"What are you going to do if you are?" Hazel
"I'm not sure. I'm not ready to have a kid, but there is no way I could do what Manny did." Paige
"Well are you going to take a test?" Hazel
"Yeah, of course I am." Paige
"Then lets go get one." Hazel
"Are you serious?" Paige
"Yeah, there's no better way to find out." Hazel
"Ok, fine." Paige
They go to the store and pick up a pregnancy test. Then go back to Hazel's house.
Marco and Dylan spend the weekend fooling around in Dylan's dorm only leaving to get food. It is Sunday night around 9:30.
"I should go home." Marco
"Yeah" Dylan
"Hey" Marco
"What I was just agreeing." Dylan
"Yeah right, you don't want me here do you?" Marco
"Right, I don't want you here. That's why we have barely left this room in 3 days." Dylan
"Good point." Marco
"I love you." Dylan says kissing Marco
"I love you too." Marco
"Have a good day tomorrow." Dylan
"You too." Marco
"I'll see you in a couple of days." Dylan
"Ok, Bye" Marco
"Bye" Dylan
They kiss before Marco leaves. Meanwhile Paige is at Matt's.
"So…what did you find out?" Matt
"I'm…" Paige
"You're what?" Matt
"NOT!" Paige
"Good" Matt says kissing Paige
"Sorry for worrying you." Paige
"No, its ok. At least you told me that you thought you might be." Matt
"Well now that I don't have to worry about it I'm in a much better mood." Paige
"Finally!" Matt says laughing
"Hey now, you weren't Mr. Peachy-keen either." Paige
"Yeah well it was a lot to worry about." Matt
"Exactly, could you imagine having to tell my parents" Paige
"My point exactly." Matt
"I love you." Paige
"I love you too." Matt
"Well I should get going I've got school tomorrow" Paige says kissing Matt.
"Bye" Matt
The next morning, Paige and Marco are getting ready to go to school.
"Hey, you seem like you are in a much better mood now." Marco
"Yeah well some stuff worked out." Paige
"Are you going to EVER tell me what was up?" Marco
"Maybe eventually" Paige
"Well I'll get Hazel to spill!" Marco
"Good luck she has been so keen on telling people my secrets since Matt and my relationship got out." Paige
"Good point. Oh well, I guess Dylan and I will just have to stop caring about you." Marco
"Whatever, don't you turn all macho because he is at university" Paige
"Yeah right me macho are you kidding me?" Marco says laughing
"Yeah what was I thinking?" Paige says joining in on the laughing.
At school that day, every one knows that something happened to Paige and rumors are flying around.
"Hazel, have you heard the latest one?" Paige
"Which one?" Hazel
"The one that I am Anorexic" Paige
"Are you kidding me?" Hazel
"Nope!" Paige
"Well if you'd tell them they'd call you a slut. Which is better?" Hazel
"Listening to all the crazy rumors. Maybe someone will actually get it right eventually." Paige says laughing.
"Oh so you'd be called a slut if it got out?" Marco
"Ok fine, I'll tell you but don't tell Dylan." Paige
"I'll try not to, but you know how macho he can be." Marco says laughing
"I thought I was pregnant." Paige whispered into Marco's ear.
"I thought so." Marco
Later that night, Marco calls Dylan,
"Hey you've reached Dylan's voicemail; I can't come to the phone leave me a message." Dylan's recorded voicemail greeting.
"Hey Sexy, Call me back." Marco
Marco falls asleep before Dylan calls him back and doesn't bother answering when he hears the phone ring. Dylan leaves a voicemail. The next morning Marco wakes up and checks his phone to see if Dylan did leave a voicemail. Then listens to it.
"Hey babe, Sorry I missed your call I was busy today. Hope to talk to you soon." Dylan says before hanging up
"I wonder why he was so busy." Marco
"He isn't going to do it again." Paige says from the doorway, scaring Marco
"I know" Marco
"Then don't look so worried." Paige
"It's hard not too." Marco
"Yeah I know what you mean." Paige
"Ready to face another day of annoying rumors?" Marco
"You betcha" Paige
"Think I should run for president again?" Marco
"Why not? You worked wonders last year with everything that happened." Paige
"Good point." Marco
Marco and Paige walk into school together and see Spinner, for the first time since he got kicked out.
"I can't believe he is back here. He is just as much hated as Rick was." Marco
"Tell me about it. I wonder if Jimmy's ran into him yet." Paige
"Who knows I can only imagine the outcome of that one." Marco says sort of laughing
Spinner waves at them but they ignore him, and walk to their lockers. Marco decides to go ahead a run for president since he didn't get his extra credits during the summer because he thought he was going to go to Africa. He gets all of his friends to help him with posters. Even Alex helps, she has become one of them now. She still dresses like the bad chick but doesn't act that way as much any more.
"I'm Vice again right?" Alex
"Well of course I don't think I'd have achieved half of that stuff last year with out you." Marco
"Thanks, but I'm not wearing that panther suit again." Alex
"I don't think we'll be doing a blood drive this year." Marco
"You are denying people that need blood b/c they won't let you give?" Alex
"No, I just don't think we'll do it this year." Marco
"Sure whatever." Alex says laughing.
