Ch. 15 We need you back
All of the students at Ardsley high left from their last period classrooms and walked into the gym. Everyone was missing last period for the pep rally. All of the students went up to the stands while the cheerleaders went down and huddled up in their groups.
"Ok guys..." Krissy said and all of the JV cheerleaders put their hands in.
"1, 2, 3 GO ARDSLEY JV! GO BLUE WHITE AND SLIVER!" they all chanted.
The freshman cheerleaders went first and did their dance and cheer. Then after them it was the JV team. They all got into their spots and got ready.
"READY!" Krissy yelled.
"OK!" the rest answered back.
"B, SHOUT IT OUT
L, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
U, LET'S HEAR IT NOW
E, WHAT'S THAT SPELL?
B-L-U-E
LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BLUE WHITE AND SILVER!
NUMBER 1!
Then they broke out into the dance to Maneater, Hey Mickey, Miracle, and Love is a battlefield. Becka gasped at what she saw when the cheerleaders turned to face the back. Krissy's top went up a little and she saw something she never thought she would. After they were done Becka went down, grabbed Krissy's arm, and dragged her into the hallway.
"What the hell?" Krissy asked when they stopped.
"Does Frankie know…do your parents know? When did you get it?" Becka asked to a very confused Krissy.
"What are you talking about?" Krissy asked annoyed and confused.
"Don't play stupid…I know about the tattoo." Becka said staring Krissy straight in the eyes.
"Oh…umm…no, no, and last night." Krissy said worried that her brother might have also seen it.
Becka turned and started to walk off, but Krissy pulled her back.
"You're not telling are you?" Krissy asked worried.
"Let me see…YEAH!" Becka said.
"NO! YOU CAN'T!" Krissy said knowing that Frankie would totally flip out.
"Yes, I think I can." Becka said.
Krissy slapped Becka. Becka slapped back and it became a full on fight until two teachers came to break it up.
"Principal's office now Rebecca!" Mrs. Holloway said.
"Kristina, you and I are going to go let your coach know what is going on, then it's the principal's office for you also." Mr. Redger said.
Krissy glared at Becka until Mr. Redger grabbed her arm and then dragged her to where her cheerleading coach was. The two girls sat down outside of the principal's office.
"Miss Magathan and Miss McGlarin please come in and sit down." The principal said and the two girls did as they were told, "Now, both of your parents have been called and they are on their way, oh and Kristina, Frankie found out and we gave him permission to come down also."
"WHAT!" Krissy yelled not at all happy that her brother was coming down. If he had the power to ground her he would be worse than her parents.
Before the principal could say anything more of the situation, the parents and Frankie walked in.
"Glad you could make it, please come on in and sit down." The principal said and everyone did, "Now as you have heard these two ended up in a physical fight."
"What was it about?" Mr. Galasso asked looking at the two teenagers.
"I was going to tell you guys something she did, she freaked out, and then slapped me." Becka said glaring at Krissy.
"Kristina…what did you do?" Mrs. Magathan asked staring at her daughter.
"Uh…umm…well…" Krissy said knowing that if she told she would be in big trouble.
"KRISTINA!" both of Krissy's parents yelled.
"I…I…I got a tattoo." Krissy said not looking up to see her parent's reaction.
"YOU DID WHAT!?!?!?!" Frankie yelled, he was the first one to speak. Krissy cringed. "Where?"
"On my lower back," Krissy said still not looking up.
"Let me see it…NOW!" Frankie demanded.
Krissy sighed and got up. She pulled up the back of her cheerleading top a little and showed him. It said:
Kali Rodriguez
RIP
1991-2006
"Why would you do that?" Mrs. Magathan asked.
"Well I caused Kali pain so I thought of this as a way for her to cause me pain back… it did really hurt." Krissy said looking out the window.
"We are going to talk about this later at home." Mr. Galasso said and Krissy nodded.
"So how long do we have detention for?" Becka asked looking at the principal.
"2 months." The principal said and both Becka and Krissy gasped.
"WHAT!" the two yelled at the same time.
"Well it is either that or you can be suspended for 2 weeks." The principal said.
"They will take the detention!" all of the parents said at the same time and Becka and Krissy sighed.
"Now you two girls need to go straight to detention. Miss Heather will take you there." The principal said.
"What, do you think the two of us can't walk there ourselves?" Krissy asked.
"No, I don't trust either of you." The principal said.
Miss Heather came and took both Becka and Krissy to detention. Frankie watched his sister walk off.
"I can't believe she would do that." Frankie said, "I'm going to go find Jesse, I'll ride home with him."
"Ok son. See you at home later." Mr. Galasso said.
Frankie walked into the now crowded hallway. School had now let out for the day. He eventually found Jesse by his locker.
"Hey Jess." Frankie said.
"Hey Frank, so what happened?" Jesse asked closing his locker.
"First off, can you give me a ride home, my parents made me ride with Krissy this morning and she has detention." Frankie asked.
"Yea sure man, now what happened?" Jesse asked.
"Well when she was cheering Becka saw that Krissy had a tattoo on her back and corned her to ask her about it. When Becka was about to go tell me Krissy slapped her. Then the two started fighting and all. The tattoo was for Kali, she said it was a way for Kali to cause her pain." Frankie said shaking his head.
"She is really hurting isn't she?" Jesse said softly to himself. "Can I come over tonight and talk to her?"
"Well you probably should get to her before my parents get home…I have a feeling she is going to be grounded." Frankie said and Jesse nodded.
The two got into Jesse's car. They drove to the 7-11. Meanwhile Krissy and Becka got to the detention room. They were the only ones there.
"I'm sorry that I slapped you…I feel really bad that I got you in detention." Krissy said looking down at the desk.
"I'm sure you are." Becka said and then realized that this was a really mean thing to say when her friend first decided to open up. "I mean it's no problem…just tell me what's wrong."
Krissy was silent and Becka saw a couple tears falling down her face. Becka moved over to the seat next to Krissy and lifted her chin up.
"No, leave me alone." Krissy said and turned her head away from Becka.
Before Becka could say anything more of the subject, the principal walked in and sat down at the desk in the front of the room.
"I expect you two be quiet and to do your homework or just sit there with your hands folded." The principal said, "There will be no Ipods, cell phones, or any electronic devices so please put them on my desk immediately."
Krissy and Becka did as they were told and then went and sat down in the seats again.
"Now I have a question for you. Who started the fight?" the principal asked but neither answered. "Both of you can have two months of detention, or the one that started it can have two and the one that didn't can have one."
"I started it…" Becka said and Krissy looked up at her.
"Ok then…Rebecca you have detention for two months and Kristina you only have it for one." The principal said, "Now I am going to step out of the room for a second, now you two behave."
The principal left before Krissy could say anything. Krissy turned to Becka who was avoiding eye-contact.
"Why did you do that? You know as well as I do that I started that fight." Krissy said.
"Well I thought that you had a lot going on right now…you didn't need to deal with this also." Becka said.
"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." Krissy said and went over and hugged Becka, "I am so sorry for shutting you out and all…will you ever forgive me?"
"Yes of course…I missed you as my best friend." Becka said.
"Well I, as your best friend, cannot let you suffer for something that I did." Krissy said.
The principal walked back in and both girls got quiet again. Krissy got up and stood in front of the desk.
"Principal Myers…Becka didn't start that fight, I did. She only said that she did because she didn't want me to have to suffer anymore than I already am. I can't let her take the blame for my actions though and I am going to take the two months…she shouldn't even get any." Krissy said.
"Well, Miss Magathan as nice as that apology is Becka will still get detention for a month. As for you, you will get two months now. Oh and I would like you to see the school's guidance counselor for a few anger management classes." The principal said and Krissy groaned.
"So it is true that if you start a fight you have to go to those." Krissy said and went and sat back down in her seat.
"This is true, the school board voted on it and everything…so you really do not have a choice…now get back to your homework." The principal said.
After detention was over Krissy and Becka walked out to their lockers to grab their books before heading home. Their lockers were next to each other because it is put in alphabetical order.
"This is going to suck so much when I get home. I'm not only going to get grounded for the tattoo, I'm also going to grounded and yelled out for fighting." Krissy said opening her locker.
"Yea…I know what you mean. You do have it worse though." Becka said and Krissy rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yea…I am going to go talk to Jesse when I get home. Luckily my parents won't be home for another hour and a half." Krissy said shutting her locker.
Becka also shut hers and nodded.
"Well I will see you tomorrow." Becka said.
"Yea, I am probably showing up in Frankie's car though. I am so most likely losing my keys." Krissy said.
Becka and Krissy hugged and then went their separate ways. Krissy drove home and sighed out of relief when she saw only her brother's car in the driveway. She got out of her car and walked over to Jesse's house and rang the doorbell. Jesse came to the door with his little brother holding on to his leg.
"Hey,
it's a surprise to see you." Jesse said shocked.
"Yea…I
know, can I talk to you for a minute?" Krissy asked.
"Yea, come on in…Lea get off the phone and watch Timmy for a minute!" Jesse said.
Lea rolled her eyes and hung up the phone. She walked over to the front door where Timmy was grabbing on to Jesse and pulled him off. She dragged him down the hall and into the kitchen.
"Come on let's go up to my room. That's the only place we will get privacy." Jesse said and Krissy nodded.
The two went up to Jesse's room and Jesse closed the door behind him. Krissy saw Jesse's room for the first time. It had blue walls and white carpet.
"So I wanted to tell you that I am sorry about everything that happened and all…and I wanted to know if there was any way that I could make it up to you." Krissy said and Jesse stood there shocked.
"Do you want to get back together with me?" Jesse asked and Krissy just bit her lip. "Because I would love to."
"You would?" Krissy asked.
"Yea, I really missed you. I haven't met anyone since you." Jesse said and Krissy smiled. This was just what she needed on this horrible day.
Krissy went up and kissed him. This led to making out and Krissy pushed Jesse back on the bed. After awhile of making out Krissy felt herself start un-buttoning Jesse's shirt.
"Wait…are you sure you want to do this?" Jesse asked.
"Yes…I am positive." Krissy said.
Jesse smiled and then pulled off Krissy shirt and pants. Krissy pulled off Jesse's shirt and pants also. Two hours later Krissy realized that she was supposed to be home.
"Oh shit!" Krissy said randomly, startling Jesse.
"What's wrong?" Jesse asked worried.
"My parents got home a half hour ago…oh I am so dead!" Krissy said grabbing her stuff.
"Wow, I remember when I said those words about once a week." Jesse said and Krissy laughed.
Krissy gave Jesse a soft goodbye kiss and then left. As soon as she got to her driveway Mrs. McCartney pulled up in her driveway.
"Hi Mrs. McCartney!" Krissy said.
"Hi Kristina, how are things for you these days. I heard about what happened; I'm so sorry for your loss." Mrs. McCartney said while walking to the end of her driveway to get the mail.
"Yea, as am I, but other wise I am doing ok…how about you?" Krissy asked hoping to stall time. She knew her parents were watching her from the window, but she also knew she wasn't going to get in trouble for talking to her neighbor.
"Well I am doing fine as well, thanks for asking…well I best get in and check on my kids. I left Jesse in charge and you and I both know he isn't the most responsible kid there is." Mrs. McCartney said.
"Yea, well nice talking to you Mrs. McCartney…see you later." Krissy said and walked up to her front door where her parents were standing with their arms crossed their chest.
Krissy sighed before opening the door. Before she could even get through the door she was being interrogated.
"KRISTINA MAGATHAN WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!" Mrs. Magathan said and Krissy sighed and looked at the ground. "KRISTINA!"
"Can I at least get into the house first before you make me answer 7 million questions?" Krissy asked.
Her parents nodded and allowed her through the door. Mr. Galasso grabbed his daughter's arm and dragged her into the office. Mrs. Magathan followed along with Frankie.
"SIT DOWN!" Mr. Galasso yelled and Krissy obeyed.
"First things first…where did you go after detention? You sure as hell didn't come here." Mrs. Magathan said and Krissy just looked at the floor. "Answer me NOW!"
"Well after I got into high school I became a jerk and all and so basically I was really mean to Jesse and we broke up and now I realize what I did so I went over to his house to apologize to him." Krissy said.
"You really expect us to believe that?" Mr. Galasso asked.
"Dad, believe her…Jesse just texted me saying how surprised and happy he was that Krissy came over and apologized." Frankie said lying. He knew that his sister had gone over to Jesse's house, but he had no clue as to what happened.
"Ok, well you are still in trouble for not coming straight home." Mrs. Magathan said.
"Well no one told me I had to. I'm not grounded yet!" Krissy said.
"No one told you that you had to? That is a bunch of bull crap and you know it. No one actually put it into words, yes, but you have enough sense in you to know that you were in big trouble and coming straight home was what we wanted." Mr. Galasso said.
Krissy said nothing. She just stared at the ground again for a little amount of time before deciding to speak again.
"Will you please tell me how long I am grounded for?" Krissy asked wanting to get this over with.
"Oh no, you are not getting off that easily…we still have a lot more to talk about with you!" Mrs. Magathan said.
THE NEXT MORNING
Krissy woke up the next morning and groaned when she realized that what had happened wasn't a dream. She got up and went to her closet she picked out her clothes for the day. It consisted of pink tight satin cami, white capris with red and pink flowery designs on it, and pink thick-heeled sandals.
Becka and Krissy met by their lockers.
"Hey so how long are you grounded for?" Krissy asked.
"A month…you?" Becka asked.
"Three…I get un-grounded on Christmas Eve." Krissy said.
"That sucks! So what did they take away from you?" Becka asked.
"Let's see if I can even remember it all…TV, phone, computer, my Ipod, cell phone, dates, hanging out with friends and my car. Oh and then they decided to play a fun little game called check up on me every half hour even though they installed a frickin' camera in my room!" Krissy said.
"They installed a camera in your room!" Becka said.
"Yea…they think I am either going to kill myself or try to sneak out." Krissy said sighing.
"Mine only took away hanging out with friends, dates, and my cell phone." Becka said.
"You suck…I have like no life now!" Krissy said.
Becka nodded and the two headed to their homerooms. The rest of the week was pretty un-eventful. Now we are at the following weekend.
Krissy sat in her bathroom crying. She could not believe that she did this to herself. Her parents will kill her if they see what happened.
A.N. What happened you ask. Well if you would like to find out all of the juicy details then REVIEW! I would like 3 before I update again.
