Back at school Monday morning Keely and Phil were out of it. Both had spent the weekend in their room… crying. Only coming out to eat every now and then. Keely had lost three pounds over the weekend from hardly eating anything. She looked the same on the outside with her hair done and her make-up and outfit in perfect unison. But no matter how normal she looked on the outside she was broken on the inside. She couldn't believe what Phil… or Mary did what they did. Phil was the same… His hair was spiked as usual and he was wearing a navy polo with a white long sleeved shirt underneath it and light washed jeans with the knees cut out. He grabbed his books as quickly as he could to avoid Keely. If he saw her Phil wouldn't be able to hold the tears back anymore. Just when he began to think he could manage to get out of the hall before anything could happen to make him tear up again he saw Mary walking toward him with a bounce in her step and a focused smile on her face. The worst part was her eyes were right on Phil. He grabbed his last book and began to shut his locker and hurry away but a delicate hand with long black fingernails grabbed his shoulder spinning him around.
"Hey Philly-Willy!" Mary said hugging him. He looked disgusted and pushed her away.
"No one calls me Philly-Willy but Keely. I don't love you I don't even like you so get away and stay away. Got it?" Phil boomed. Mary rolled her eyes and walked away. Keely this, Keely that. When will he get it that he belongs to me and not her? He's my boy now and I guess I'll have to make it clear to Keely that she need to back of him. Mary thought. She was determined to make Phil her property. Mary brushed against Via who just stood staring after Phil yelled at Mary. Everyone had heard and were rushing to tell their friends. Via snapped back into reality and ran to find Keely. After turning down a few hallways and looking into the girls bathrooms Via finally found her toughing up her make-up trying to hide he tear-streaked face… again
"Keel! You're never gonna believe this… Phil just yelled at that Mary girl!"
"What do you mean?' Keely said perking up a little bit.
"He told her that no one could call him Philly-Willy but you and that he never wanted to see her face again!" Via squealed.
"No way. He still loves me!" Keely said grabbing her make-up and running through the door to her first period… that she shared with Phil.
She ran in and stopped by Phil.
"Mr. Hacket Phil has an emergency… I'll take him… Bye!" Keely pulled him out of the chair and pulled him into the same empty classroom as before.
"Keely what is it?" Phil asked fearing the worst.
"Via told me about what you said to Mary. She said you told her that you loved me and only me… just like before… Phil I'm so sorry!" Keely said hugging him feeling her heart leap with joy from being back in his arms.
"I… Keely… I'm so happy… I thought you would never…" Phil was cut off by Keely's lips mashing into his. When he realized people could be watching her pulled away and kissed her forehead.
"I love you Philly-Willy." Keely said with a giggle and pulled him out of the classroom and back to their first period.
"So… What was the problem?" Mr. Hacket asked eyeing them with a piercing gaze
"False alarm." Keely said. Phil sat behind her thanking her silently for forgiving him and thanking Via as well for overhearing him yelling at Mary… along with the other two dozen students. But just as he felt right again he felt eyes on him… Mary's… again. He ignored the gaze as he left the classroom his arm around Keely's waist, and when they sat at lunch until he couldn't take it anymore. He looked at Keely and whispered
"She's staring at us."
"I know I feel it to… like I'm being watched…" Keely said in return.
"What do we do?" Phil said
"Don't you have something from the future that'll help us?"
"The Giggle!" Phil said. They ran out of the cafeteria to Phil's locker grabbing the Giggle then running to the broadcast lab.
"Giggle On." Phil said while pulling down the screen. Keely pressed her cheek against Phil's and looked at the Giggle's screen.
"Mary Nems 2006" Phil said. They sat and watched the screen until they came to their destination.
"Well… She's going to get over you but how do we do that?" Keely said watching Mary make-out with Ryan McAdams…
"Ew." Phil and Keely said as they turned it back.
"Here it is… Phil said to Keely. They were sitting in Phil's room with a notebook opened to a page that said "How To Get Revenge On Mary" With a few ideas written down. Phil watched himself circle the bottom one and say, "That's it."
"Your house tonight?" Keely said looking over at him.
"Uh-huh." Phil kissed Keely gently on the lips and hugged her. Phil never felt better in his life. He took the Giggle off and put it in my bag and went back to hugging Keely. Since they had free period next they stayed in the broadcast lab and worked on Keely's demo tapes sending them to more colleges for interviews… But they weren't accepting anymore party invitations.
Mary looked at her schedule. She decided to take broadcasting for her free period. She looked at her map and found the broadcast lab. She looked in the window and saw Phil. She was hoping that by now he had gotten over Keely. He has to be over her. Mary though as she opened the door. I mean what is there to like about- WHAT THE HELL? Mary screamed in her head. She walked in and saw Phil and Keely kissing and holding hands. I better break this up. Mary thought deviously.
"Hi Philly-Willy!" Mary said rushing up behind him and pulling him away from Keely and hugging him. Keely stared at her. What a nerve that girl has… not only did she call him MY name from him but she HUGGING him! And we were kissing too! Keely's thought raced through her head making her madder and madder.
"Excuse me Mary… Could ya get off my boyfriend?" Keely said standing up and Phil pushed Mary off and stood up along side her, with there fingers still laced together.
"Hate to brake it to you but he's my boyfriend." Mary snapped back.
"In your dreams." Keely scoffed.
"We'll let Phil decide. Who's your girlfriend Phil?" Mary said batting her eyelashes at him. Phil squeezed Keely's hand and looked at Mary straight in the eye.
"Kelly Teslow. The love off my life. Not a skanky whore like you" Phil said not taking his gaze off Mary. He didn't care how mean he was but he was certain he would make it clear to her. Mary stormed off to the girls' bathroom and pulled out a notebook. Her second plan wasn't working as well as she'd hoped. Now it was time to unleash the third one.
