Chris stood at his locker staring towards Claire and Lincoln.
Wonder how she'll react to the fact that her boyfriend is sleeping with her mother. It's kind of bittersweet. One of the worst girls in school is getting just what she deserves, yet I feel terrible having to give her the bad news. Mom always said it was the worst part of the job.
Chris became sidetracked as he noticed his next target. A tall latino, boy by the name of Oscar Delgado.
Oscar Delgado. Izzy's 6th period T.A. Out of all of them, he was the only one who didn't live in the prestigious 90909 zip code.
Oscar went to his locker and Chris was right there with him.
"Oscar, Oscar, Oscar." Chris said in a disiplinary tone. "Steal any good wallets lately?"
Oscar's eyes rolled. Chris had only been here a short while and already, word has gotten around that Chris liked to stick his nose into other peoples' business. "What the hell are you talking about Mars?"
"Well, Ms. Montgomery, the teacher you T.A. for 6th period's wallet was stolen." Chris stated.
"And I'm the suspect?" Oscar retorted.
"All her other T.A.'s are way too rich and stupid to do it, and that only leaves you." Chris said as he looked to Oscar's wrist. "That's a nice watch there, Oscar."
"I know. It was just sitting in my locker this morning"
Oscar said admiring the watch.
"You want me to believe that a watch that cost more than my grandfather's yearly income just appeared in your locker"
Chris said with disbelief.
"It's what happened." Oscar replied.
Hilary Vasquez made her way up to both of them. "Hey, Oscar"
She said with a smile, and then she saw Chris. "What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing, Hil. Chris here was just grilling me about a missing teacher's wallet." Oscar said as he grabbed a book from his locker.
Hilary's face nearly went pale. Chris noticed. "So, Oscar,
you two been friends for long?"
"Best friends since kindergarten." Oscar replied with a smirk.
"Wow...a platonic relationship for 12 years, that's gotta be a record. No feelings for one another?" Chris stated, knowing he was bating them.
"I guess." Oscar responded. "She's like my sister. I can tell her anything."
Chris noticed Hilary's depressed expression.
Gotcha. It's so nice when they play right into your hands.
"So, Hillary, is there anything you want to add to that?" Chris stated. "I'll find out anyway. It's best you just tell me up front."
Hillary swallowed hard. Oscar rolled his eyes. "So now you think it's Hillary?"
"She has access to your keys doesn't she?" Chris stated. "If it wasn't you, then who was it?"
Oscar looked to Hillary. "Tell him you didn't do it." He said as he could see that there was a guilty look on her face.
"Hill?" Oscar questioned.
Hilary began to cry. "I'm sorry, Oscar. I just wanted to get you a present. To show how much I loved you."
"Did you try telling him first?" Chris interjected.
"I can't believe this." Oscar said as he slammed his locker and rushed away.
Oh, great. Is that pangs of guilt that I'm feeling? I think so.
"Where's the wallet?" Chris asked.
Hillary pulled it out of her backpack and handed it to Chris.
"I'm assuming all you bought was that watch for Oscar." Chris stated.
"Yes." Hillary replied.
"And I'm assuming you'll be paying Ms. Montgomery back for said watch, correct." Chris stated.
"Yes, I will. Is she going to press charges?" Hillary asked scared.
"I don't know. She'll be in touch." Chris stated as he walked away.
Neptune Navigator - Day
Chris made his way into the journalism room and saw Izzy sitting at her desk. "Well, hello, Ms. Montgomery." He said as he walked over to her desk.
"Chris. I'm assuming you have good news?" Izzy asked.
"I do." Chris said as he handed her her wallet. "It was Hillary Vasquez, Oscar Delgado's friend. It seems that she has deep feelings for him and decided that if she could get him the perfect present, he'd realize that he is in love with her." Chris sighed. "Oscar had no idea, and Hillary is willing to pay you back for what she spent, and it's up to you to decide on whether or not to press charges."
Izzy sighed. "No. I mean, we all do stupid things for love,
don't we?" She said with a small smirk.
"We certainly do." Chris said staring deeply into Izzy's eyes.
Izzy staring straight back. "So, I guess we're done here."
"I guess so." Izzy said as she brushed a piece of hair back behind her ear.
"Well, see ya." Chris said as he turned to walk away.
"Bye." Izzy said as she look almost disappointed.
Chris whipped around. "We should go out."
"Huh?" Izzy stated.
"A date. Me and you should have one." Chris announced quietly.
This wasn't exactly legal after all.
"Please tell me you're joking. You're my student." Izzy replied.
"You're a college student who got roped into teaching a class because the school is too cheap to get a real teacher"
Chris stated with a smirk. "And you already think I'm cute.
So, what's the big deal."
"I could get fired!" Izzy stated.
"You know, in all this ramblings about it being the wrong thing, not once did you mention that you didn't want to." Chris said with a smirk.
Izzy blushed and couldn't help but smile. "Fine. I'll give you a call."
Chris smiled widely as he backed out of the room, waving quickly before he exited the room.
Guess I just found my Mrs. Robinson. Now it's onto the vile wicked witch of the west.
Neptune High - Day
Chris is sitting with Penny eating his lunch when out of no where, Claire comes and sits next to him.
"So, it's Friday." Claire announced.
"Isn't that cute. She knows the days of the week." Chris said sarcastically.
"Cut the crap, Mars, and tell me what I want to know." Claire stated.
Chris nodded for Penny to leave and she did so without question.
"Are you sure you want to know, because I found something.
Something you're REALLY not going to like."
"I'm a big girl, Chris. I can handle it." Claire said annoyed that this was taking so long.
"Okay. Here it goes." Chris said with a sigh. "You're mother is having an affair."
"Ha. That's brilliant." Claire said with a smirk. "She'll never ground me again." She said laughing. "You know with whom?"
"That's the problem." Chris stated. "It's with Lincoln."
"My Lincoln?" Claire stated, her face now filled with sadness.
"Yeah. I thought it was with Logan, but I ran into him down the block at the same time a Mr. Echoll's was checked into the Neptune Grand." Chris said with a sigh. "I really am sorry."
"You will be if you breathe a word of this to anyone." Claire said as she stood up, and walked straight over to Lincoln.
Saying a few things in his ear, his face went cold. "WE'RE OVER!" Claire screamed so the whole student body could hear it.
Claire walked over to Chris and pulled him harshly into a kiss, and quickly pushed him away.
Chris was shocked and looked to Lincoln who had a not too happy face.
Great. Kissing me right after you break up with my sworn enemy is sure to solidify our hatred of one another.
Mars Apartment - Night
Chris sighed as he walked into the apartment.
What an interesting week. I met my potential father. Got a date for Saturday night, and got kissed by my potential half brother's girlfriend. I'm really a lucky guy.
Chris made his way into his room and saw a box. With a letter on top of it. Opening the letter, he read it.
Chris,
This was some of your mother's stuff that I found. Thought you might like it. Be back late.
Love,
Gramps
Chris began to dig through the box, picking up a book and watched as a piece of paper fell out of the pages of the book.
Picking it up, he noticed it was another letter, this time directed towards Veronica.
Veronica,
Please call me. I heard about the pregnancy and if this baby is mine, I want to be a part of his life. Please call. You know the number.
Lamb.
Lamb?! Another L. Does this mean that Sheriff Lamb and my mother had a relationship? Why hadn't she ever told me about that? All I ever heard about Sheriff Lamb was that he was a pompeous ass who couldn't do his job.
Potential father number 2 come on down.
