Chapter 10 - Girlfriend
Kane glanced at the clock above the wall, counting every second it ticked as the school hours were nearing to its end. His math teacher, Mr. Josh Matthews was still rumbling in front of the class while all the students all impatiently waiting for the class to end. Mark beside him chuckled quietly as he noticed Kane was slightly squirming at his desk, restlessly waiting for the bell to ring. Finally their patience was rewarded as the sound of the bell echoing in the class.
"Class, don't forget to submit your assignment by next Wednesday, " Mr. Matthews reminded the students as they hurriedly swarmed out , impatient to get back home.
"So are we holding the party at the funeral house or what? " Kane asked Mark as they gathered up their books and made their way out of the classroom.
"Nah. We might as well awaken the dead and we don't want a Jacob Goodnight 2.0 resurrected from the lab, " Mark replied as they headed to their locker in the school hall.
"Who the hell is Jacob Goodnight? " Kane was baffled.
"No one. Just a sadistic dude making his living slashing people's throats, " Mark answered casually .
"Whatever, " Kane said, thinking Mark either had been watching another horror movie or just a cheap porn he rented from DVD stores. "So where are you planning to do it? "
"Good question, " Mark grinned, " Michelle's house. Her parents are going away this weekend, so we decided it would be a perfect spot for us, " He said, referring to his current girlfriend Michelle McCool. "And Layla's gonna be there too, " He winked. Kane groaned.
"Come on man. You should a make a move on her. She likes you," Mark said, "Ask her out for movie or something, "
"I know. Its just.. I'm still trying to get over Amy, " Kane sighed, watching his ex girlfriend , Amy smooching her latest squeeze, Phil Brooks in a corner . Phil Brooks was her current flavor of the month, a weird skinny guy with lip ring and tattoo-covered skin.
"Getting over her my ass, " Mark scowled, "What did you expect from her? First it was Matt Hardy , then Adam Copeland, then you, now that freak show over there, "
"I get it ok? " Kane retorted. " I mean, I like Layla too. Sort of. But in case you've forgotten, I've been banned by the Authority and had to do babysitting shift every night. And I'm leaving for Washington next week. So there was no way I could ask her out and then make out with her, then, dumping her ass here, "
"Well, you can invite her to your house. Michelle said Layla like kids. She'll love your little bros, " Mark suggested.
"The last time I took a girl to my house, Seth and Randy drove her up to the wall. Didn't you remember, the next day she dumped me,. All because Randy accidentally threw laundry powder on her head," Kane shook his head.
"Oh yeah . Poor Trish. But seriously, Kane, you should hook up with Layla. " Mark laughed, "There they are, " He grinned to see his girlfriend and her best friend Layla walking towards them , waving at them wildly.
"Hey baby, " Mark said, pulling his girlfriend into a deep kiss while Layla blushed as she looked at Kane. She had been having crush on him ever since Kane was still together with Amy.
"Hi Kane, " Layla said shyly.
"Hey, " Kane replied, smiling a little."You look fabulous today, " He complimented ,couldn't help staring at the blue tank top and skinny jeans Layla was wearing.
"Thanks," Layla replied, blushing again."I can't wait for this weekend, " She added,twirling her hair nervously as she smiled back.
"Me too, " Kane nodded, " Of course, the party is meant for me, " Kane laughed at his own joke.
Mark let go of his girlfriend after a few seconds of locking lips. "Are you sure you can find your way there? " Michelle asked Kane. "I mean, you being grounded and had to babysit your baby brothers, "
"Baby, I told you, " Mark reprimanded his girlfriend, "Even if Kane gets locked in a padded cell he's dig his way out. We don't have to worry a thing, "
"I'm just curious, " Michelle replied, " You said about bringing his brothers along if we had to, " She leaned forward to kiss Mark again.
"Nope. No way." Kane laughed, "First they were kids and this is adult party. Secondly, even if I bring them along, the party would turn into World War 1000 between Randy Country and Republic Seth . You don't want that, Michelle, trust me, " He said.
"Oww. Sounds like bad boys, " Michelle snickered.
"He's right , baby, " Mark laughed too. "Hey, did you invite the whole class? ' He asked Michelle.
"Yeap, " Michelle nodded. "All our friends would be there. Dwayne, Kurt, the Hardy brothers, Adam, Christian, Rob, , the Dudleys, Stacy, Molly, Terri, Trish, and oh , Kane, we invited Amy and Phil too. Hope you don't mind, "She giggled. Kane shrugged.
"As long as there will be alcohol, " Kane smirked.
"Are you going to miss us when you get into the military school? " Layla asked shyly.
"Of course, baby girl, " Kane replied flirtatiously, "Especially when I'm just about to fall in love with a smoking hot babe over here, " He added, causing Layla to blush again, but Mark and Michelle burst into laughter.
"Do we sense a terrible pickup line here?" Mark teased, and Kane was about to answer him when his cellphone rang."Damn. Its the Queen of England again, " He groaned as he looked at the caller ID on the screen. It was funny because when Kane called his mother, Stephanie was bound not to reply even if Kane hit the redial button a thousand times, but when it was her calling, she would not stop ringing until Kane picked the call up.
"Yes Mrs. Authority? How can I help you? "He asked sarcastically. Michelle and Layla swapped puzzled look, but Mark, having used to such things, just shrugged.
"Kane, pick Randy and Seth from school. Your dad and I still in board meeting, " Stephanie instructed.
"Mom, you told me this morning you are picking them up , " Kane protested.
"I told you I'm still in meeting! " Stephanie's high pitched voice squeaking from the end of the line. "Pick them up and take them out for lunch. Vickie had the day off today because of migraine. Do I make myself clear? "
"Ok mom, you don't have to scream , " Kane grunted, "Can I-"
"No! " Stephanie roared. "TAKE THEM OUT FOR LUNCH AND GO STRAIGHT BACK HOME, you understand me? "
"Yes, Miss McMahon, " Kane growled, and his mother instantly hung up. "Guess I have to drive those spoiled brats again, " He sighed .
"Do you talk to your mom like that? "Michelle gasped. "She sounds really grumpy, "
"All the time, " Kane replied dryly as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. "Now if you could excuse me, I got baby duties to cover , " He slammed his locker shut and adjusted his school bag over his shoulder.
"Oh my , poor you, " Layla said sympathetically. "But you make such a good big brother, " She praised, toying with her hair as she still leering at Kane.
"Alright Daddy, " Mark teased again, " Don't forget the diapers and formula milk, "
"Fuck you Calaway, " Kane laughed, punching his friend's arm playfully.
"No thanks, I got my girl here, " Mark threw his arm around Michelle's shoulder. "Aww, " Michelle cooed, resting her head on Mark's shoulder.
"Whatever. I'll catch up with you tomorrow, " Kane said, turning to Layla. "Hey, I'll call you tonight, " He promised, winking at her.
"Alright. Say hi to Randy and Seth for me, " Layla replied with a wide grin. 'Bye Kane, " She called out before Kane left.
