Maria's POV
We pulled up to the restraunt and Mike put the car in park.
"Oh Mike! It's ... beautiful!" He smiled. He got out of the car , and walked to my side and opened the door.
"After you." He let me go in front of him , and go in first. We walked into the restraunt and I looked to him. He grabbed my hand with a gentle and soft grip. He led me to the back , where the was a small dark room, with candles lit everywhere, a little table with rose pedals on the white table cloth.
"Mike this is..."
"It was all for you."
Jeff's POV
I was walking around town , trying to figure out myself. I was walking past the nicest restraunt in town. I looked inside , and saw the dimmed lights , and all the couples at the tables. I walked around back and saw a little door , that led into a den. I opened the doors and went down into the den. It was a freezer. It had a bunch of food stored. I finally figured it out that it was the freezer for the restraunt.
I went up a short flight of steps , and saw an empty room , with a table set for two , and those two were Maria , and Mike. Maria was laughing and Mike watched her and just smiled. He gazed at her like the stars in the night sky. I instantly felt like punching him , but why? It wasn't jealousy. It couldn't be. I sat there and watched them. Maria looked so happy , and I'd feel guilty if I ruined this. Whoa , what the hell did I just think? I'd feel bad? Guilty? Holy shit. I was jealous! I hated to admit it but I was jealous. But it couldn't be because , I , liked, Maria. I couldn't like her! We have been enemies since kindergarten. I looked at Maria as she smiled at Mike . She put her hand down and he reached over , and put his hand on hers. It killed me more and more inside. I finally just left . If I woudlv'e stayed any longer , I probably would've gotten up and punched Mike or something , and ruined everything.
Maria's POV
"Mike , we are gonna have to do this again." I smiled at him.
"We will. We can maybe go to the movies?"
"Yes! It sounds perfect."
"Good. Then maybe we can go on Monday?"
"School night... Oh well?" I laughed.
"It's a plan then." He smiled at me , and I looked into his eyes.
"Well lets head out then."I stood up and pushed in my chair. Me and Mike walked outside into the pouring rain. He let me in the car , and then he got in. He grabbed a jacket out of his backseat , and put it over me.
"Are you cold?"
"Kind of."
"Well there. That's why I gave you that jacket." He smiled. We were about to pull into the college.
"You know what I have always wanted to do?"
"Let me see if I can figure it out when we go in." He pulled into a parking spot and parked. We got out and he stopped me right in the middle of the parking lot. He put his right hand on my left cheek. The rain continued to come down pouring. Me and Mike were already soaked.
"Mike?" He leaned in and kissed me. I smiled on the inside, and went along, and kissed him back. He pulled away and looked down.
"Is that what you always wanted to do?" He smiled.
"Exactly. I never imagined it so perfect though." He put his arm around me and took me into the girls dorm. He walked me to my room.
He stopped in front of my door, and he held my hand.
"I enjoyed tonight, a lot. And I can't wait for Monday." He smirked.
"I did too. Thank you so much, again. That was probably the best date I have ever been on, honestly. And me neither. I want to go see a scary movie."
"No need to thank me. Scary movie it is."
"Goodnight Mike." I smiled.
"Goodnight Ria." We both leaned in, and we kissed. I smiled and turned around to walk into my room.
Mike's POV
After Maria shut the door I stood there for a few seconds and just smiled. I walked down the hall and back outside. I walked right next door,
to the guys dorm. I walked in the building, and Jeff was standing there, almost like he was waiting for me. I walked in and he grabbed me and threw me against the wall.
"What is your problem Jeff?"
"I don't like you. Maria, doesn't like you!" I punched him in the face, and he fell to the ground.
"You need to calm the hell down and just leave Maria alone. Leave me alone. Leave her friends alone!" Jeff looked up and me and stood up.
He stepped closer and closer until I was cornered.
Maria's POV
The next morning I woke up and put a headband in my hair, threw on a tank top, and shorts, and some gold sandals. I walked out the room,
and all my friends stared at me. I walked up to them.
"Mickie, Candice? What's wrong?"
"You like Mike, right?" Candice looked at Mickie.
"Yeah. I do like him. Why what's going on?" Mickie looked back at Candice, and back to me.
"Well, last night, Mike got hurt, after bringing you back to our room."
"What! What happened?"
"Jeff hurt him. I guess they found Mike in the hall. He wasn't able to walk. Jeff twisted Mike's ankle. He's supposed to be better by tomorrow though."
"Oh my god! Where is he now?"
"He's in his dorm." I ran down the hall and outside. I looked over at the guys dorm, and walked over and in. The guys that were in the hall watched me. Jack Swagger was always the biggest perv of them all. He stared at me most. I heard a whistle from one of the guys. I walked up to Mike's door and knocked.
"Come in." He said real calmly. I opened the door and saw Mike laying on his bed. I shut the door behind me and looked at him.
"How are you feeling?"
"Horrible. But I'm feeling a little better now." He smiled at me. "Come here." He signaled to the open space next to him on his bed. I got onto his bed and layed next to him. I layed on my side facing him. I put my right hand on his chest.
"Mike, I am so sorry, I feel horrible."
"Maria, I appreciate that you care, but you didn't do anything."
"Mike, I just feel awful." I started tearing up.
"Please don't cry."
"What the hell did he do to you!"
"I honestly, don't even remember. I remember him saying, he didn't like me, and you didn't."
"He may not like you, but that's because I like you." Mike smiled. He reached over and wiped my tears.
"Trust me, you know I like you. I've liked you, for quite awhile."
"I know. And I should've seen that. You're a really good guy Mike."
"It's fine. I couldn't stop you from being with the guy you had a major crush on."
"But you're a much better guy then him."
"Why do you say that?"
"Cause he wasn't that sweet. Or that cute." Mike smiled.
"So you think I'm sweet. And cute. Good sign."
"Okay. Now go do stuff with your friends, you don't want to sit in here with me all day."
"I want to. But I will be back later. I need to go to practice actually."
"Okay. Be careful." I kissed his cheek, and left the room. I walked out of the building and Jeff grabbed me. He pinned me up against the wall and looked at me.
"Okay Maria, I hate you. But I don't know what it is. When I see you with Mike, it makes me mad."
"Oh look who's jealous now."
"I'm not jealous." His nosed lightly touched mine. "I told you I don't know what it is."
Melina's POV
I sat on the bench and just watched Maria and Jeff. I am gonna ruin her life for doing this. Well we had basketball practice, so maybe I could accidentally slam her into the bleachers. Or trip her so she hurts her leg. So many ideas, but only one is gonna work.
