Mike
[April 11th, Monday]
After about a month since I got stabbed, I was back to normal in another day of my Senior year of High School. I was walking down the hall when something caught my attention.
I noticed a poster for the school prom dance coming next week, and just about everyone in the school's looking foward to it. And before you know it, the minute I entered homeroom, the whole class is talking about nothing but finding someone to go to the prom with, to which I had no trouble with, as long as I have my Brianna. And of course, Chuckie, Angelica, Harold and Susie were coming as well.
"Well, looks like someone's got himself a prom date" Chuck teased me.
"Heh, no kidd'. You four are coming as well, right?" I asked back.
"Are you kidding? Of course we are. So are Tommy, Lil, Phil and Kimi." he answered.
We then headed to our respective classes and met up outside the school at the bell home.
Needless to say Savannah and her popularity group's been glaring at the six of us since first period. She kicked Angelica out of her group for dating Chuck, which was an offense for her group, while Brianna left the group on her own will after she joined the school boxing club. Seriously though, I'm actually glad Angie and Brianna left her group. Sav and her friends are just a bunch of assholes who are just looking for public image, but have nothing to show for themselves. If you're asking if I ever encountered Savannah before, actually I did, a few days after I started dating Brianna.
[Flashback two months ago]
Brianna and I were having a make out session on my sofa. After a good 4 rounds, we decided to take a break, with her on top of me.
"Mmm... that was very impressive" she smiled.
"Imagine if we're in college, and then when we're married" I grinned back.
"I think of that all the time since the moment we officialy started dating."
She began to collect her things "Bye, Mike."
"See you tomprrow, Penelope."
And with that, she left and went home.
I headed to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich a few minutes later when I heard a knock on the door.
"Just a sec!" I yelled.
I answered the door, and was kinda surprised at the person standing outside.
"Hi, Mike..."
It's Savannah, the last person I even wanted to get along with. She appeared looking pretty sexy.
"Whaddya' want, Sav?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing... Just wondering if Brianna's around."
"She left around 10 minutes ago. What's this about?"
At that, she came inside pushing me onto the couch. She took off her shirt
"This is a bad idea, Shane" I told her.
"Why did I have to seduce Chuckie when I have someone who's not a nerd?" She seductively said, continued trying to flirt with me, but I resisted. I wasn't gonna cheat on Penelope with her.
I shoved Savannah and made her put her shirt on. "Out, Savannah! Just get the fuck outta my house!"
"Don't be like that, tiger" she begged.
"You know the only person I make out with is Brianna. Go find someone who'll actually like you.I don't have to remind you, you kicked Angelica out of your group when she started dating Chuck, and you kicked Brianna out when she started joining the boxing team."
And with that, she left. Looking at her expression, she looks like she's gonna do some harm to me and Brianna in the future. I wasn't gonna let that happen. I locked the door and continued to eat my sandwich at the kitchen table.
Just then I heard another knock. I thought it was Savannah again, so I swung the door open in a furious matter. "You picked the wrong man, Savannah!"
It turned out to be the gang. "Mike, it's us. Chill, man!" Phil said.
"Sorry" I apologized. "Come in."
They entered my living room and sat around on the furniture.
"Savannah came here?" Susie asked.
"Yep. God, I can't help but think what the fuck was Savannah even thinking?! She tried to flirt with Chuck, but failed, and now she's trying to flirt with me, knowing I already got Penelope."
"She really is queen of flirting with boys" Angelica told me.
"Heh, yeah. But I'm not one of them. Just lucky Brianna wasn't here to see her, otherwise this could get bloody messy."
I only could think about Savannah's next move of revenge on me and Brianna.
[End flashback]
[April 17th, Sunday]
Only a day left before the school prom night which hyped the entire school up to maximum. It was 10am I was sitting in my couch watching mindless TV until I figured I'd visit Brianna.
I headed towards Brianna's and knocked on her door.
"Brianna?" I called. No answer; perhaps no one was home.
I knocked on the door again. "Brianna?"
Guess no one's home. Just then I noticed Angelica pulling up outside the house in her convertable.
"Hey, Ange" I greeted.
"Hey. You here for Brianna?"
"Why else do you think I'm here? Mind if I ask what're you doing here?"
"Just passing by until I came across you."
Just then my mobile rang with the caller ID being Brianna.
I answered the phone. "Hey, Penelope. I was outside your doorstep but you're not home. Just wanna remind you tomorrow's the big night."
"It's not Brianna" I heard a different voice say.
"Who is this?!" I asked in anger.
"You tell me."
It took me three seconds to realize the voice was Savannah. "What the fuck have you done with Brianna?!"
Just then the rest of the gang arrived ouside and saw my angered look, and gathered around me. So I put the mobile on loudspeaker so they could hear the conversation.
"Oh, don't worry. Penelope's safe for now... And she sits very still, even when she's tied up and with duct tape on her mouth" Savannah said with an evil tone in her voice.
"What the fuck do you want?!" I ferociously demanded.
"I just want you to pay for rejecting me to flirt with you. Don't you know I'm the sexiest girl around?" she said casually.
"You fucking diabolical bitch!"
"If you ever want to see her again, then you will come to the empty factory by the abandoned scrapyard ALONE! You will not tell the gang or anyone else, not even the cops."
"Let me hear her" I demanded.
"What?"
"Let..me...hear...her..." I agressively said.
"Fine" Savannah sighed. Instead she ended the voice call, and called again using the video call.
"Say hello to your boyfriend and his friends" Savannah told Brianna, ripping the duct tape off her mouth.
"Guys, don't come here! She's got backup! They'll kill you!" Brianna warned.
"Start your car, Angelica" I ordered her. "I got a love to save!"
"We'll follow you two" Tommy said, the rest of them agreed.
I looked at Brianna. "Don't worry sweetie; I won't let them hurt you."
"Don't worry, Mike" Savannah said. "She'll be dead by the time you and your dweeb gang arrive."
And with that, Savannah ended the call.
I hopped in Angelica's car riding shotgun, while the rest of the gang followed us in Susie's minivan.
"Step on it, Pickles! We gotta get to that factory ASAP!" I told her.
"Sorry, but as much as I wanna save her, I can't get ticketed."
I nodded. "We don't wanna get their attention anyway."
We reached the outskirts of town and Angelica sped up, as there's basically no one noticing.
I clenched my fists in anger. "That Savannah bitch's gonna pay for kidnapping my girl!"
"Hey, we'll rescue her. Trust me."
I nodded. "Hope she is..."
We finally reached the abandoned factory at the scrap yard. Angelica and Susie pulled up into the old (and abandoned) parking area, and turned their cars off.
I looked at the bulding and clenched my fists. "Time to get my girl back."
"And our friend too" Tommy added.
"We're with you on this" Lil said.
"It's about time Savannah got what she deserved" Chuckie finished.
I couldn't be more proud at them at this. "Thanks for having my back."
"Hey, you covered our backs, now it's time to return the favor" Chuckie said.
We approached the twin-doors of the building.
"Guys"
They looked at me "Yeah?"
"Again, thanks for backing me up on this one."
They all smiled and nodded, and with that, Chuckie and I kicked the doors open.
"SAVANNAH!" I yelled.
"We know you're in here!" Chuckie yelled.
"You got Brianna, and I want her back." I demanded.
As the echo died down, we heard the sound of her muffled screams from way back in the factory. Just as we ran towards that direction...
"You're not going anywhere" One of Savannah's goons said, his friends appearing as well.
"Just let my girl go, and this won't end in a bloody mess."
"You think we're just gonna give you your girl back?"
At that, he order his boys "Get 'em."
The ten of us held our ground and defeated Sav's goons without too much trouble. Just then we heard the sound of someone clapping.
"Well done... I'm impressed..."
I glared at Savannah. "Where's Brianna?"
She just scoffed. "And why should I tell you?"
"She's my girlfriend, you diabolical bitch!"
"Looks like you're gonna habe to get through me to get to her" she challenged.
I turned at the gang. "This is between me and Savannah. If she wants a duel with me, then that's what I'm gonna give her."
The gang stood aside and spectated while cheering.
"You can do this!" Lil yelled.
"Show her you mean business!" Tommy said.
"Give Ms. Queen of Popularity what she deserves!" Chuckie finished.
Savannah got into position. "Ready?"
"Ready to bury you, motherfucker!"
And with that, Savannah and I engaged in a one-to-one. And it took a while; I have to admit, she's pretty good at her fighting skills.
"Looks like Brianna's gonna have no one to dance with her tomorrow night at the prom" she taunted. "You're gonna be in medical care for weeks."
"Not if I can help it."
After almost fifteen minutes af fighting it out, I finally took Savannah down.
"Nnnnggh... the pain... please... don't..." she groaned.
I kneeled down and glared at her face. "Shoulda left Brianna alone. If you're gonna ruin my relationship with Brianna, I'm gonna make sure I'm gonna put you in a fucking coffin."
"Okay... I understand now... I'm sorry"
"You're lucky we're still high schollers, y'know."
And with that, Tommy and I ran toward where Brianna's being held. I took the duct tape off her mouth, hugged her close and kissed her, tasting the sticky substance in my mouth, while Tommy untied her knots.
"I'm here, honey... You're okay now... you're safe... Let's go... It's over." I said.
"I knew I fell in love with the bravest man I know" Brianna replied.
"Woah, looks like I'm gonna lock you both in here" Tommy spoke up. Brianna and I both blushed at that.
"Let's get outta here" I said.
And as we left the room, Savannah's still laying down there, groaning. And at that, Brianna glared at her with pure rage, punching her.
"I can't believe you'd sink so low as to kidnap me to seperat me from Mike!" she said angrily.
I held her arm. "Hey, don't. Either way, we're still high schoolers, and I don't want you to end up in jail."
"You're right..." Brianna sighed. "It's just that she has to get what she had coming to her." She held me close, and I hugged her back.
"I know... I'm sorry... Looks like you two are really meant to be together" Savannah said.
"I think it's time we all got outta here" Lil said, the rest of us agreed.
I got in the back of Susie's minivan with Brianna, with Angelica and Chuck following us behind in Angelica's convertible. We reached outside the Pickles' house an hour later and all got out.
"Guys..." I started, I just wanna say... thank you for having my back and helping me rescue Brianna. I couldn't have done it with out you."
"Hey, that's what friends're for, right?" Chuckie replied.
"We'll have each other's backs... always" Susie added.
At that, we got into a group hug, then returned to our respective houses.
[April 18th, Monday]
It was the night of the prom, and I gazed at Brianna, who was wearing a lovely red suit.
"Hey there, babe" I greeted. "You look lovely."
"Thanks" she blushed, then let out a seductive grin. "You too in that nice suit."
"Wanna dance?" I asked her.
"Why yes please, as long as it's with you."
And with that, Brianna and I, along with the gang: Susie and Harold, Chuckie and Angelica, Tommy and Lil, and Phil and Kimi got on the dance floor while Dil was on the DJ set. Needless to say the prom night was a huge success. Hell, a few schoolmates cheered for me and Brianna, and we just blushed as we gazed at each other's eyes. Nothing's gonna break our relationship apart, not even death.
