My Heart Will Go On: Part 4
"I heard that this new girl is here for singing." Candice Michelle said walking into the clothes store with her friend Stacy Keibler.
"Yeah, well, she's not going to take my spotlight. I'm the best singer there, and it's going to stay that way." Stacy said rolling her eyes.
"I saw her with AJ, earlier." Candice whispered hoping that Stacy didn't hear.
"Excuse me?"
It was no secret that everyone knew Stacy liked AJ. She would do anything to get him back. Two years ago Stacy and AJ had dated, but when she cheated on him, he dumped her. And ever since then he had made it his mission to sleep with as many girls as possible. But Stacy was still convinced he liked her.
"I saw them bump into each other. He smiled and helped her up and stuff, and it looked like he was kind of into her. But, she totally blew him off." Candice said looking at the rack of clothes.
"I don't care. That little skank is not going to take my boyfriend."
"Uh… Stace, he's not your boyfriend."
Stacy shot Candice a glare and she quickly corrected herself. "I mean, he's not your boyfriend, yet."
"Yeah, yet."
Dorm 133
When Trish got back to her dorm she noticed two girls, and three boys inside.
"Hi, I'm Beth and that's Jillian. We're your roommates." Beth said pushing Randy away from her because he was getting way too close.
"Hi." Trish said ignoring the looks she was getting from AJ and Randy.
"That's Jay, he's cool, and the other two assholes are AJ and Randy." Jillian said pointing to them.
"Whatever." Trish said sitting on her bed on the other side of the room, she pulled out a book called 'The Silver Kiss' and started to read it, blocking out everything the other people were saying.
"So, Trish, where are you from?" Jay asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Miami." She replied not looking up from her book.
"That's cool." Jay said smiling. "Did you like it there?"
"Yes." She said sighing.
"So, what are you here for?" AJ cut in.
"Singing." Trish said simply.
Jay looked at Jillian who just shrugged. "That's cool. So, do you miss your parents or whatever?"
"What is this, twenty questions or something?" My life is MY business, so but out." Trish said getting up, grabbing her jacket, and leaving the room.
"Um…. Okay, attitude much?" Randy said laughing.
"She told you, Jay." AJ said hitting Jay's arm.
Jay glared at AJ and pushed his hand away. "Fuck you. I was trying to be nice."
"Well, that worked out really well, didn't it?" Randy asked sarcastically.
"Fuck off." Jay replied rolling his eyes.
"Okay, no more arguing, we hear enough of it during classes, okay?" Jillian said interrupting the argument.
"Fine." Jay said glaring at Randy and AJ.
Courtyard
It was midnight and Trish had been walking around for an hour and a half. She sighed when her cell phone began to ring.
She reached into her pocket and answered it. "Hello?" She asked agitated.
"Hey." She smiled when she recognized the voice.
"Hey, Mike."
"How's Juliard? Having fun?" He asked curiously.
"Oh yeah, so much fun." She answered sarcastically. "I hate it."
"Why?"
"Because, everyone is so nosy and annoying. I miss Miami, I don't wanna be here." She complained sitting on the bench that was next to her.
"Are you even trying to make friends or anything?"
"I'm not here to be nice and make friends. I'm here to sing, and I don't even wanna do that anymore."
"Why not?" Even though Mike already knew the answer, he wanted to get her to admit it.
"Because." She said simply.
"Because, why?"
"Because, John isn't here. Like I told Mickie, he's the one that got me to audition, he was supposed to be with me, and he's not! He's dead, he's dead because of me!" She yelled which attracted attention from a few people passing her by. "I killed him." She said quietly.
"No, you didn't. He died because he wanted to be there for you. Do not blame yourself for him dying." Mike said emphasizing the word 'not'.
"I can't help it…" Mike cut her off before she could continue.
"Yes, you can. You know it's not your fault. Now, I have to go, but promise me you'll stop blaming yourself." He warned.
"But Mike…"
"I said promise." He said cutting her off again.
She sighed but shook her head even though he couldn't see her. "I promise."
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye." He said hanging up.
"Bye." She whispered putting her cell phone back in her pocket.
AJ, Randy, and Jay's Room
"So, when does this whole bet thing start?" AJ asked Randy curiously.
"No, Crystal, I told you last week, we're over, you were just a bet, you meant nothing to me, now stop calling me." He said hanging up the phone. "It starts tomorrow." He said answering AJ's question.
"Okay, but you saw her when Jay was trying to talk to her, she wouldn't even give him the time of day, how the hell am I going to get her to talk to me?" He asked sighing.
"I don't know." Randy stopped and smiled. "Actually I do."
"How?"
"Remember when I went to 'talk' to Mrs. Thompson because she was concerned about my 'behavior'?" He asked still smiling.
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, the dean wanted to talk to her so when she left the room I started to look through her things and I found the password to get into the student files on the computer. Read her file, it'll have stuff she likes and everything, then just use it to your advantage."
AJ smiled as well and walked over to his laptop. "You're a fucking genius."
A/N: What do you think? Do you think Trish will give into him? Only I know for sure. lol. R&R.
