Today I have a Christmas party to head off too so I'm getting in an early morning chapter on the go. I love the reviews that I am getting so far :) Thankz to Bella and Countrygurl for staying so faithful *tears up a bit* xD anyway on we go with the story and disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. ~~~JELLO~~~
Ned was walking home, digging his feet into the ground as if they were heavy metal shovels. Not only was he angry and furious at Moze, he was scared for what she would have said.
"HOW COULD SHE DO THIS?!" Ned was screaming at the top of his lungs, and thankfully nobody was home.
He was fuming, and it's a real surprise that there wasn't smoke coming out of his ears.
He suddenly heard the main door open.
"Ned? I'm home. Have you seen Christy or Jaqueline?"
"NO!"
"Honey, what's wrong? You sound upset?"
"I-it's nothing."
As soon as he said that, his mother rushed upstairs to his bedside.
"So what's really wrong?"
"Moze!"
"Moze is wrong? About what?"
"No she isn't wrong, but what she did was."
"What did she do?"
"She watched my video mom! It had private things on there that I didn't want her to see!"
"Like what?"
"I- I don't want to say..."
"That's fine, I'll go downstairs and look for your sisters while you sit here and cry. Goodnight sweetheart."
"No, mom wait. I told her that I was in love with her."
"Oh, I see, well did you ask her what she thought?"
"N-no."
"Well how do you expect to get anything solved if you don't talk about it?"
"I just don't want to face her. Now that she knows the truth, our friendship is ruined!"
"No it isn't, not if you talk to her."
"I need to go for a walk and clear my head."
"Ned, you can't avoid this forever. I swear you are just like your father sometimes!"
"Yea, well the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree."
Ned gathered himself up and started on his walk to the bridge.
Moze held her knees up to her chest very tightly. She didn't mean to go and watch the tape, but now that he knew what had happened, she prayed nothing would change about his feelings towards her.
In a gaze, she barely heard the phone ringing, but whenit caught her attention she answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Moze, it's Cookie."
"Oh, hey."
"So have you talked to Ned yet?"
"Uh, no, and I doubt that I will for a while."
"Why?"
"Cookie, I did something wrong, really really wrong."
"What did you do?"
"I watched Ned's tape! Now I know things that I probably shouldn't know, and Ned hates me!"
"I don't think he hates you, at least that isn't what he told me at school."
"What did he tell you?"
"If it is anything like what the tape said, then you know."
"Oh."
"Well, Moze, you need to talk to him. He just called me and told me where he was going. Get to the bridge as soon as you can and just... fix things!"
"Cookie, you're amazing! Thank-you!"
"Yea, well that's just how I roll."
"Stop trying to be cool Cook."
"I'm not trying, I'm naturally cool, anyway, I'll talk to you later."
"Bye."
With that Moze jumped out of her misery state and ran out of the house, unaware that she had a tank top and boxer shorts on.
Ned plopped himself onto the side of the old stone bridge. He loved the feeling of the wind rustling in his hair and the sunset falling as it hit the water.
Ned felt so perfect there. He wished that Moze would be there with him, but to be honest he felt betrayed by her.
Now the saying be careful what you wish for is beyond true.
Ned turned his attention to the sound of Moze's feet running along the pavement surface.
"NED, NED, Please wait."
"What do you want?" His voice was cold and he really wished he hadn't said it to her that way.
"Please don't be mad, I'm sorry."
"You totally betrayed our friendship!"
"I'm sorry!"
"I... I don't know what to say to you Moze."
"I am beyond sorry that I hurt you but I needed to know. No one was telling me any thing!"
"What do you want to know? That I'm madly in love with you? That I am totally and utterly madly in love with you? Well you already know that so what else is there to know?"
Ned felt so hurt but then again he felt so relieved that she finally knew.
In a quick second everything changed. He felt Moze press her lips against his. He was in utter shock but he loved every second of it and didn't want it to stop.
She deepend the kiss and held him closer. Thankfully no one was around, or this would have been akward.
"I'm so sorry for what I did."
Ned held her closely, leaving very little space to fill between them.
"Don't be. I should have listened to my mom. I wanted to tell you I really did, but things became so difficult to explain... I just didn't want us to ruin our friendship."
"If you would have just told me, we could have avoided this whole thing."
"What do you mean?"
"Come with me."
Moze took Ned's hand and lead him back to her house.
