Chapter 2
It was Tuesday afternoon we had Gym class. Oh joy. I was running track while the others where attempting to try out for the football team. I noticed the girls walking across the football field in the corner of my eye.
"Michael" I rolled my eyes of the twins whom had a crush on me since freshmen year. They railroad me while I was running track.
"I heard you know to play the piano," The youngest one said. Oh boy. That was the last thing I needed getting around school.
"Yea so I can a bit," I answered tyring to ignore them and not trip over them.
"Then you must play for Talent Show Auditions, I won't take no for an answer" The older of the two pressed.
"Michael" I heard Frenchy called over to me. Saved by the bell or almost as the saying went.
"Well"
"Fine I'll do it," I said going over to where Frenchy was standing by the fence.
"Virgin Alter, Virgin Alter. All Male periscopes down" I chuckled under my breath when I heard Steph and Rhonda ribbing the twins
"So how's your first couple of days of Senior Year been?" Frenchy asked as I leaned back against the fence where she was standing.
"Alright. Yours" I asked my eyes strayed over to where Steph was walking with the girls watching the boys trying out for the football team.
"There is such a fascinating world of chemistry out there. "Frenchy said but I wasn't really paying attention.
"Michael. Have though about telling Stephanie that you have feeling for her that is more than friendship" Frenchy stated that brought me back to reality.
"French. Steph and I are just friends. Even if I did have feeling for her that more then the friendship kind. I wouldn't want to intrude. Her and Johnny just broke up." I tried to lie but Frenchy saw right though my bullshit lies.
"I know but the way that you look at her, that your in love with her." Frenchy said stating the obvious.
"Ok fine I admit it. I'm in love with her. And I have been for a long time. I've just never had the courage to tell her. Because when I finally did figure out my feelings for her. She and Johnny had just started to date." I explained to Frenchy.
"You should tell her Michael. You may be surprised. Maybe she feels the same way about you" Frenchy advised me. I nodded and noticed that the Cycle Lords where talking to the boys.
"Maybe One Day" I said before walking over to where the boys and the Pink Ladies where standing.
The Cycle Lords rode off.
"Hey are we bowling tonight?" Sharon asked the boys as they walked off.
"That's right. And Paulette" Johnny answered
"Yeah Johnny"
"I want you to look special dig," Johnny said before he and the boys walked off.
"Steph" I said walking over to before she walked off with the girls. She stopped and waited until I was beside her.
"What Balmudo want?" I asked as we walked side by side.
"Typical male pissing contest as use well to see who has the biggest manhood" Steph explained. I chuckled under my breath at her comment.
"Hey are you going bowling tonight," She asked about a minute later.
"Nah I can't sorry. I've got to work tonight and my parents are going to be out of town for the next week so I've got to look after my younger siblings" I explained why I wasn't going bowling with them as pre normal.
Stephanie merely nodded. Maybe that hadn't been the answer she had been hoping for.
"Hey I'll ask the boss if I can knock off earlier. But no guaranties" I said
"Hey can a bum a lift for you later." Stephanie asked.
"Yeah it anit a problem" I said before we parted ways. The final bell of the day rang signalling the end of the school day at least for today.
"Hey Shakespeare you coming bowling with us tonight" Johnny asked as I closed my locker.
"I can't this time Johnny. I've got to work tonight," I said as I locked my locker.
"Ok whatever" He said before he walked off. I sighed and walked out of the school. Johnny watched as he ex-girlfriend walked up to his good friend who just happens to be her best friend.
Johnny had never been the jealous type. But Michael and Stephanie had been close best friends for years. That had not changed when he and Steph had become an item nearly two-three years ago.
Johnny turned his attention to Paulette. Now he and Steph had broken up. He didn't want to string Paulette along but he would always love Stephanie in a little way. She would always hold a place in his heart no matter what.
"Steph you coming" Paulette asked.
"No Michael's dropping me off at work on his way past" Steph answered her. I noticed Johnny's eyes widen in shock for a minute but it was gone soon after that.
After dropping Steph off a Jake's I head across town to McCabe and Sons Towing and Repair.
"Afternoon. Jake, Adrian" I said to a few of the mechanics as I walked to the locker room to get changed. I changed into my coveralls before I headed to the office to talk to Hank.
"Hey Boss" I said knocking on the office door. Hank nodded for me to come in and take a seat.
"Michael. Call came in about ten minutes ago. 54 Oldsmobile 88" Hank said throwing me the keys to one of the tow trucks.
I caught the keys that Hank threw to me and went to grab the details of the tow job that had come in about ten minutes about from Harriet. I had been called to ten different jobs about half way through my shift.
Joe the other tow truck driver and I had been called to a head on collision on the corner of West Miller Street and Harrison Street. Joe drove the bigger wreaker that was 1954 Kenworth.
There was blood, broken glass and various other things the littered the scene of the accident. I grimaced when I saw the two stretchers with a sheet covering them both. Looking at the damage done to the cars it was no surprise that both drivers had not survived.
Joe and I didn't hang around long. But it took a lot longer then I thought it would take. Joe had headed off to another call while I headed towards the bowling alley to grab a bite to eat before I headed back to the shop.
I noticed the girls Pink Studebaker was in parking lot. I slammed the door shut on the tow truck and headed inside.
I walked through the door. Before I could say a word or anything Steph walked up to me and kissed me. What the. Ok this was a shock to the bloody system to say the least. As soon as the kiss had started it was over.
I looked back over at Johnny and saw the pissed off look on his face. Why I didn't know he and Steph weren't together anymore. Something most of happened since I had last seen them this afternoon.
I didn't say anything as the girls left. Johnny looked pissed at me. The look he sent me as he walked away said as much. The boys followed after him.
"Hey Woodchuck" I said to Delores even though she hated to be called that. I helped her pick up the shoes that the others had left on the floor.
"What did I say about calling me that Michael Royston" Delores said. I hated being called by my full name.
"What's was up with Johnny being pissed at me about. Steph was the one who kissed me. I asked as we walked towards the doors of the bowling alley.
"Johnny was being an ass all night." Delores explained. That was the reason why everyone was not in best of moods, plus Stephanie kissing me.
Two-Three Days Later.
The Auditions for the School Talent Show where today. I had been railroaded into playing the piano for the Audios and most likely the actual night of the show. As the twins began their song 'Brad' I wanted nothing more then to bang my head against the keys of the piano in utter frustration.
Delores came and sat next to me about a minute or so into the song. The boys well Davey and Louis where sitting behind me talking to each other. Thankfully a few minutes later Miss McGee saved my sanity.
Stephanie noticed her best friend was sitting at the piano. The last time she had seen him play was when he was elven or ten. After his mother had all but forced him to take lessons from when he was six.
"Steph you free after school" I asked.
"I'm free every day it's in the constitution" Steph said. Smartass I thought to myself.
"That's enough for today. Thank You" Miss McGee said as the song finished thankfully.
"Oh wait a minute. We've still got three more seasons yet "Sharon protested.
"I'm sorry Sharon. But I'm going to need the stage for my Drama Class" Miss Mason explained.
Sharon threw her various papers up in the air in frustration. Louis asked his girlfriend about something as he went after her.
"Steph. You want to explain about the bowling alley on Tuesday. I mean you just don't kiss a guy that happens to be your best friend" I asked.
"The kiss was just a joke. Forget It" Stephanie said tyring to dismiss it as if was nothing. That kiss was a game changer. There was no way in hell I was just going to forget about.
"Let me give you a hand" I said after Steph had dropped her books. She kept protesting that she could do it herself.
"I think he's in love. I think he's kinda cute" Paulette and Rhonda said ribbingly and teasingly.
"I think you two need to shut your yaps" Steph snapped at them.
"You forget this one"
"Thanks" She said taking the book from me.
"Are you going to keep dodging my question from earlier?" I said point blank. I was getting sick of her dodging the question.
"Ok. Fine. I'll meet you at the old look at after school" Steph said before she walked away. DiMucci walked over to me
"English I've got something Scholastic to discuss with you. What I'm saying is your Mr History right. Like I got this essay on the fall of Rome. I didn't even know they were in trouble. ". DiMucci said trying to get at something.
"Just get to the bloody point DiMucci" I said.
"Paper for Paper, Essays for Cash" DiMucci said finally getting to the point of this conversation.
"Alright you've got a deal" I said shaking his hand to seal the deal.
Four Hours Later.
I sat on the hood of the tow truck waiting for Steph to turn up. I thought back to the to a couple of years ago when my Aunt Nancy, Uncle Frank, Sandy and Vincent had moved to Rydell.
It had just been after Sandy had graduated from Rydell. Maybe five weeks after. My Aunt and Uncle had kicked Sandy out of home after they had found she was pregnant and was engaged to Danny.
I was lost in my thoughts I didn't notice someone walk over to where I was sitting on the hood of the tow truck.
Stephanie didn't say anything to announce her presence to her best friend. Why had it taken so long to figure out her feelings for him? She thought that had she had loved Johnny. Maybe she had but she wasn't in love with him nor had she ever loved him the way she did her best friend.
That been partly the reason why she had broken off her relationship with Johnny. The other reason being she really had out grown her relationship with him
"Hey" I looked up at the sound of Steph's voice. I turned to my left to see her standing there.
