Chapter 3: His Day Back

Katie's PoV

Who's the new student? Freakin' Freddy Jones. Yeah, he's back. Mrs. Fields even put him in our lab group. What a great idea. Good thing Matt's there beside me. Our seating arrangement is Me, Matt, Freddy, Zack and Summer. As our teacher blabbed about the components of EVERY periodic element, I got a bit out of place. I really didn't feel like listening to Mrs. Fields that day maybe because Freddy's around. I started to feel a bit sleepy, good thing we're in the back and our teacher is short. Matt slumped onto the tiled table, resting his chin on his knuckles. I then slumped on his back to rest.

Freddy's PoV

Katie slumped on Matt. I felt jealousy and anger wishing that I was her boyfriend again. The day ended so fast. The practice ended so fast too. Matt wasn't there. About two months passed, still Katie ignored me. I tried to talk to her but Matt always takes her away form me. I tried asking Summer and the band (except Katie) for advice. But if it doesn't work, I don't have much courage. One night after band practice, Matt walked Katie home. There were girls scattered around the village. After he walked her home, I stalked him. Unfortunately, he has no leaks. I started to plan something, for Katie to see Matt with another girl. I called Zack and told him my plan and that it was to be executed in less than a few days. He told me it's okay as long as Katie didn't find out. Anyway, whenever I was at school, I'm popular. One, I was and again School of Rock's drummer, two, I was Simple Plan's drummer, and three I'm good looking. I'm not boastful or anything but a lot of girls, especially cheerleaders, spend their every free second with me. Giving their phone numbers, emails and stuff. I am the new campus hottie since Matt's taken. I'm too proud and boastful, I know, but I don't care. Days passed, and then I believe that it's the right time for the plan to be executed. After our last class that day, I told Zack that we need to do it now. Zack and I went to our positions. I grabbed my skateboard and skated in front of my 'admirers.' Matt was there waiting for Katie to come out (with some friends who were talking to some cheerleaders) the classroom because our teacher wanted to talk to her. Anyways, I continued to impress them and they cheered me. I saw Zack coming so I 'bumped' Matt into the captain of the cheerleading squad who is currently cheering on me too. To prevent falling, he had to hug her just in time for Zack to shout "Katie! Matt's cheating on you!" and point Matt. Everyone looked at Zack, Katie and then Matt. He quickly let go of the girl. Katie lit up. Yes!

Zack's PoV

Freddy's plan worked. Katie was firing up. She gave me her bass angrily and headed to Matt's who started to defend himself since I shouted. I heard her say "We're over Matt! We're through! I don't need your explanations! Just go with her!" then she pushed Matt to the captain of the cheerleading squad, the slutty, stupid and snobby Bridgette. I saw Bridgette wink at me. I told her about the plan and all and Freddy doesn't know. She dragged her squad to cheer on Freddy even though he's only the top 2 hottest guys in school according to her. My job on this plan is to make sure Katie sees everything.

Ha! She dumped him! Our plan worked. Katie ran away with Zack still clutching her stuff. She dragged him to the parking lot and into Zack's car where they saw Summer following them. She explained everything that happened to Summer. I then rode my new car. It's a convertible Benz. I went to practice that day to find a swollen-eyed Katie. I went to Zack to talk to him privately.

"She isn't really that upset is she?" I asked my bestfriend who nodded his head in response. "Well, I feel bad for her knowing it's my fault she's very upset. But hey, love's gotta have sacrifices."

"I know dude. But then she's gonna cry her eyes out again like before. Just like what you did to her," Replied Zack. "She's one of my best friends Freddy, but if you keep on dumping girls who are close to me and is part of the School of Rock, I may spill this one out and never help you again with your schemes. Sorry dude, but as a guy, I don't want to see a girl crying because I'm partly the reason she cries," and with that, he left for his unplugged flying v.

We started playing Kevin's new song. Can you believe it? Kevin, my 'lil bro writes a song now? I guess I missed a lot. The backups sang it this time since the song's a love song. By the way, this upcoming Battle of the Bands theme is love songs. Everyone wrote a song, even my brother and except me. Kevin's song got picked. It wasn't that bad after all.

Lyrics of "Failure" by Kevin Clark Jones A/N: I really wrote it!

You're still the same

Just like before

Pretty and thoughtful

Kind and the one who loves me

This song is for you

As my way of thanking you for every

Nice thing you've done to influence me

Chorus: But you need to accept

The decision that I had a hard time thinking

You're so perfect for me

100 percent, perfect at all

Unlike me, a failure,

Pure failure, I'm a failure

You just wasted your time on me

Sorry, I'm really sorry

It's really like that

We get to feel different emotions

Please, don't be furious

(Chorus)

(Zack's Solo)

Bridge: You're not meant to someone like me

Failing and unemployed

And I'm not supposed to be with someone

So perfect like you

(Dewey's solo)

(Chorus)

I wonder whom my brother dedicates this song. But I'm sure the girl's gonna be heartbroken. According to Marta's younger cousin, my lil' bro's a "hottie." Well, takes after the older brother eh? Anyway, everyone went home but I stayed outside to wait for Katie. She got out the door and she got no ride. I was inside my car that time and I offered her a ride she refused. She yelled me stuff I can't understand 'coz she's yelling it in between tears. Weeks passed and I saw them together again. Shit! Shit! Shit! He probably told Katie that I 'bumped' into him causing Bridgette to fall on him. They're back again. I followed Matt to see if he's got some secrets I can blackmail him to give up Katie for me. Unfortunately, he's clean. Months passed and I noticed he's been spending not much time with Katie. It even came to a point where she almost skipped band practice just to watch Matt play soccer. I only see him with Katie either buying her lunch from outside the school grounds, giving her stuff toys, expensive stuffs and all. It reminded me of Usher's Simple Things song. Yeah, I listen to SOME R&Bs. I burned the song in a CD and gave it to Matt. That's plan B.

Matt's PoV

I don't know why Freddy gave me a cd. But I listened to it the next morning just as I picked up Katie at her home. I told her that Freddy had a little clumsy moment the time I caught Bridgette. So she accepted him back again. While playing the song, I noticed it's rnb. Not the kind Freddy would listen to 'coz obviously he's a rocker. I noticed the song's almost about me. How Freddy described me about Katie.

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talking but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy, so complicated?

Searching for what's right in front of your face

Bet you can't see it

Yeah, I ain't got much time for her, but she's still fine with it. I always give her stuff and she's still fine with it. It's not like bribing - is it?
