Chapter 4: Revelation and then back to school
-----At Zack's car-----
"There's a parking space there Zack," said Gordon and pointed the lot "we better hurry. Hey Look! There's Freddy's Benz!"
Zack quickly parked his car and they went in the mall. They split up to find Freddy.
"Hey isn't that..." whispered Leonard to himself "FREDDY AND KATIE!" as he saw them at the restaurant, he quickly seized his mobile phone and called the others and told them where Freddy was.
"Zack! You wouldn't believe your eyes!" said Leonard at the phone "I'm here in front of this sport shop near Little Chef's. Can't believe that the first mall we tried is the place where we'll spot them easily!"
"Contact the others." Zack answered quickly "I'll be there in a jiffy." and he was right. Within two minutes he came and saw...
"FREDDY AND KATIE!" he exclaimed "Let's go in!" he added as he saw the others arrive.
"Zack!" exclaimed Freddy as he saw them enter the restaurant "Wh...Wha...What...What are you doin' here!"
"Sorry man. We followed you." started Zack apologetically "Just really wanted to see who the girl you said you met last night."
"What girl?" asked a confused Katie "Who's he talkin' about Spazzy!" Freddy's stomach flipped 'coz he knew now that when Katie calls him "Spazzy/McGee/Spazzy Mcgee" is that she's starting to get mad.
"Hey chill out," Freddy started "you're the girl he's talkin' about. I told them after we played ball that I met a pretty girl last night."
"She's the girl you're talkin' about?" asked a shocked Marco
"No wonder he told us that he's sure we already met her!" said Leonard
"Yeah! Because she's the bass player of School Of Rock!" said Marco happily
"But you said you were gonna meet someone from the internet Katie?" asked Gordon "Didn't he meet you?"
"No. That's her excuse just to get out of the house." answered Freddy for Katie "I asked her out last night you know!"
"Why did you hide all about it?" asked Zack
But Katie answered this time: "'Coz if you didn't notice we're in a 'Enemies-to-Lovers' status!" and she did air quotes to emphasize what she said.
"We were just talking about telling you guys about it later at home before you came." said Freddy "Why don't we go home guys. We're gonna tell all of you everything" and he signaled the waiter their bill.
------When they arrived at home-----
"Hey everyone!" shouted Zack from the top of his lungs "Get out here in the living room! Breaking News!" and the other boys sniggered in Zack's statement. "Guys get out first!" he whispered to Freddy and Katie who looked puzzled but followed him. Then he whispered to Gordon, Leonard, and Marco, "Guys when I say that we have a new couple, you tell them to go in ok?" and they all agreed to this plan.
In 5 minutes everybody's in the living room except for Dewey who was still sleeping in his room.
"What's the breaking news Zack?" asked Billy "I was in the middle of the song when you butted in!"
"That's why I called all of you! I thought there was a thunder in our house." and everybody laughed at Zack's statement" Anyway...we discovered a new couple...Please welcome and congratulate MR. FREDDY AND KATIE JONES!" he exclaimed happily. Then they released a lot of "What, Really, Oh my God?" reactions. Some were left open-mouthed and shocked like Summer.
And then Leonard, Marco, and Gordon dragged the couple inside. Then everybody congratulated the both except Summer.
"Ok full story Katie!" said Eleni as everybody sat down. Katie hesitated but she still started to talk .
"You see. Last night we were both left here right?" she paused and she recieved their nods "Well, after Dewey left for his club date I held up the tape and created the divider. I was preparing my food afterwards and Freddy here got jealous and told me to make him food too but I said no. But of course I have conscience so I threw him an apple and hit him hard on the head and then I said 'Football quarterback and athlete of the year can't even catch an apple thrown by a girl!' so he got mad of course and he started to walk towards me when heard a crash outside and we looked at where the noise came from and we saw 3 shadows.Freddy devised a plan to close the lights. So I did. Then we went upstairs and to Gordon's room to get a laser alarm and a teargas. Freddy got his bat. Please continue Freddy." finished Katie
"So that's why my vault is a mess!" exclaimed Gordon
"Sorry. So anyway I set up the laser alarm and we waited for them to go away but they didn't. After I set the alarm up. Katie told me that she was scared and that 2 robbers had knives and then she hugged me--"
"Oooooohhhhh!" teased the girls except Summer
"Aw, c'mon it was just a hug! Anyway she cried on me and I just patted her on the back 'coz I didn't know what the fuck to do so I kissed her forehead--"
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" teased everyone except Summer
"Then Katie had an idea to scare the intruders out by openin' the garage light and Alicia's. But when she went downstairs, she told me that the robbers were already fiddling with the door's lock so I told her to stay hiding where she is and I'll sort this one out. When I hid at the stairs, the robbers got in and I hit each of them with my bat and Katie happily emptied the teargas's contents to their eyes. So we both tied all the robbers and I told her to call the cops. Then when the cops came, they also asked the whole story, and they put the robbers in prison. Then we cleaned ourselves up. Then I went to Katie and apologized for the kiss and she said she liked it and--" Katie is starting to blush.
Howls filled the room at that exact moment.
"And I said I liked it too. So she--" now Freddy blushed crimson red.
More howls filled the room again.
"So she went to me and kissed me. Then I said to her 'I think I love you?' Then I askedafterwardsif I can court her. She really thought I was stupid 'coz she said--"
"Because I said 'Jones! You're the Football Athlete of the Year! And not to mention every girl's dream boy! I think you know the answer! then he asked 'So I'm your boyfriend now?' and I was like afterwards 'Ok. If that's what you want then I'll be your girlfriend." said Katie quickly "There. Enough said."
Then everybody congratulated them again except Summer.
"Summer. What's the matter?" Katie asked her best friend who keeps on ignoring them.
"Me!" raged Summer "Nothin's been wrong with me since you didn't have a boyfriend!"
"What? You don't like Freddy for me!" said Katie
Now everyone's eyes is on the both of them.
"The matter is...I've just been your bestfriend for like ever! Since we're born! For heaven's sake! Wasn't those past years enough for you that you can trust me! Why didn't you even give me a hint on what's happenin' to your lovelife? Huh! Fuck! Wasn't those years long enough that you can trust all of us! I mean we've all been friends since like ever! Ok. We might tease you but if you really love each other you wouldn't care right!"raged Summer who was now trying to be controlled by his boyfriend Zack.
"Sssshh...Calm down Summer. Calm down..." Zack kept whispering on her ear but she wriggled out of Zack's gripped and walked out the room. Katie was left there as if she was struck by lightning. She was dumbfounded by what just happened. Freddy wore the same expression like before in his fifth grade when Tomika threatened him to shove his drumsticks down his throat. Then the girls went over to Katie.
"Don't worry about her Katie. She'll come to her senses soon enough." said Alicia as she patted her on the back
"Yeah. You're her best friend." added Marta
Katie was left alone in her seat after a lot of congratulations were given to her. Freddy was nnow talking with the other boys and the girls were whispering something.
"What are you talking about?" asked Katie when she noticed them and walked towards them.
"You see Katie, you were the one who started the tradition wherein if we find a couple, there will be a romantic dinner set for them by the whole band and crew. So we were just planning yours. So where d'you like to go?" exclaimed Eleni
"Oh…I really don't know…I guess…We shouldn't do that anymore…" Katie answered
"Well that would be totally unfair." said Alicia
"Yeah," said Michelle "you all did that to us. When you found out about me and Marco, all of you congratulated us and set up a dinner for us."
"I know…but Michelle, you and Marco were the first ever to date, then Summer and Zack, and then Gordon and Eleni, then Alicia and Leonard, after that there's Tomika and Frankie, and now we're the sixth, that's a very unlucky number. Bad luck number. Then a bad luck just happened a while ago, Summer is mad at me." said a depressed Katie
"You believe in that?" said Marta "well, we don't, so you Katie Rebecca Brown are gonna go out to a date with Frederick Kevin Alexander Clark Jones tomorrow."
Now when Katie heard both Freddy and her full name, it means it's final. The date should be done.
"So that's final. Marta said both your full name. So you're gonna go out with Freddy tomorrow night at…hmmm…Let me think." said Billy "the Elbow Room?"
"Hell no!That's where 'feeling cool' ones hang out! Besides it should be romantic." raged Katie
"So now you agreed." said Eleni "Don't worry, Billy's just joshing. How about Quickzza?" finished Eleni laughing with the rest of the girls.
"Nah." Said Katie "How about Chocolate Bar?
"We don't want the both of you sick just to inform you." said Alicia "You're going at Parisian Luxury Restaurant. It's a very romantic restaurant. Besides the atmosphere smells good there too.
The other girls also agreed to Alicia's decision.
-----After the dinner date-----
Everybody went to the mall the next day to buy their school supplies and new clothes while Summer stayed away from Katie. When they bought everything they needed, they headed home to prepare their school stuff. The school term will begin at September first. The band and crew will start their eight grade. (Everyone doesn't wear school uniform. It's a private school worth $15,000 but they won't need school uniforms.) Lawrence, Tomika, and Frankie were back to the pad.
-----At Horace Green Junior High (Room 57 C-8th grade)-----
September 1, 2009 ; 7:30 am
Their classroom teacher, Mr. Gabe Green, their former 2nd grade teacher is now an eighth grade teacher that will advise the first rock 'n roll band ever to be born at Horace Green. The whole band and crew (except of course Dewey) are in the same class every year. So they really know each other very well.
"Now when I call your name, please come to me so I can give you your class schedules." said Mr. Green "Eleni Veronica Afflerbach" Then he handed Eleni her schedule. "Alicia Aleisha Allen...Katie Rebecca Brown...William Billy Brian Falduto...Michelle Claire J. Green...Marta Caitlin Hale...Tomika Maryam Hassan...Summer Miranda C. Hathaway...Leonard Cole Hawkins...Marco James Hosey...Gordon Zachary Infante..." Mr. Green continued handing the schedules who by the way is not related to Michelle "Now this is a long one..." then Freddy stood up because he has the longest name in the band "Frederick Kevin Alexander Clark Jones...Frankie Angelo Massagu...Zachary Joey G. Mooneyham Jr...and last but not the least Lawrence Robert Tsai..." he finished as he handed Larry his schedule. "I know every schedule is the same. But Ms. Mullins still wanted to give you your own schedule." Mr. Green added as he sat in his chair.
The schedule said the student's name and grade.

After the whole band read their schedules...
"Excuse me Mr. Green" said Summer, the class factotum since first grade of their batch "How come Music classesare going to be held at the rooftop?"
"Well...I'm glad you asked me that question. Ms. Mullins decided it should be there 'coz rock is noisy." he answered her "Especially with Mr. Dewey Finn and you are the School of Rock. The class might disturb the other classes." the class sniggered. "Ok. 5 minutes before your first class. So off you go now to Ms. Franco at the 3rd floor." Mr. Green added.
