Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters expect Marissa. This is going to be a short chapter, because the next couple might be kinda long because the evil plan takes place.
Marissa went to school the next day and tried to avoid Jake and Kevin as much as possible. For once her plan worked until play practice the next night. It was dress rehearsal; she knew something would go wrong, she just knew it. As Marissa went into the costume room to get her costumes she ran into Parker. Parker gave her a death glare. Marissa had forgotten that she had overheard his plan.
"To bad that backdrop did hit you," Parker said as he walked away. "We tried to make it hit you."
Marissa gasped and went into the restroom to change. Jinx was already dressed and helped Marissa get into her first outfit. Marissa knew it would be tough doing the play with what had happened, but after all she was an actress, right. She just had to act like everything was all right, and she did. She did perfectly well, until after practice when she was dressed back in her normal clothes.
"Marissa, we need to talk," Jake said firmly.
"Whatever about?" Marissa said, acting as if she didn't know what he wanted to talk about.
"About us."
"There is no us," Marissa said as she went to go get another ride home from Chia. When Marissa got home Jake was there again.
"I know you don't want to talk to me," Jake said.
"That's for sure," Marissa said.
"But I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't going out with you to make Kevin jealous," Jake said, he then quickly teleported home, leaving Marissa speechless.
