Hey guys,

I'm finally updating. I've been on fanfic daily but haven't had quite the motivation to write. I wrote this quite some time ago and decided maybe to just post it and finish up this story before starting on another.

I've been feeling quite sad since Breakup in Paris episode but I can't wait for season 3 to start. What about you? It'll be great if you click the button that says 'Review'. Love to hear from you guys.

Enjoy.


Recap:

Apparently, Bailey is going to be kissed by some dude acting as Romeo in the school play, and no way did Bailey mention anything about this to me that day! Wait, the school play is Romeo and Juliet? Oh no no no, that's not just any school play, it's a romance and tragedy play that my Bailey is taking part in! How could she do this to me? Well the least she could do was tell me about that scene! I've got to talk to her!


Chapter 2

I sprinted off to the school hall, making quite a big entrance as I hurriedly pushed open the doors and stormed right up to Bailey as the drama club was in the middle of rehearsals. Bailey was lying down on a make-shift table as apparently the props were all still in the works. I ran up on stage, avoiding the stares of the director, the crew, and the cast members and stared down at Bailey. She was quite shocked at my appearance, getting up from the table hurriedly, making a quick apology and asked for a 5 minutes break from the rest of the cast before dragging me off to a corner for a confrontation.

Amazingly, she wasn't angry at my gesture of interrupting her rehearsals, instead she pulled me into a hug and spoke, "You came to see my rehearsal? That's so sweet of you. I know this is not exactly spending time with each other, but at least we're in the same place seeing each other right?"

"Oh don't you sweet talk me now!" I just couldn't contain my frustration any longer.

I could tell Bailey was surprised by my outburst, given the blank look on her face.

The right thing to do was to count to ten, stay calm, release my clenching fist and talk to Bailey nicely, also apologizing for my outburst. However, at that moment Timothy from drama club, who I heard from Marcus, is portraying the role of Romeo came strutting into the school hall. He gave his ever charming grin, earning smiles from the smitten girls in the drama crew which merely just made me more pissed than ever. Seeing him in person allowed me to envision how he was going to win Bailey's heart and make out with Bailey while I sat helplessly amongst the crowd. I was fuming with anger.

I was brought back to my surroundings with Bailey's touch. "Cody," she spoke softly but audibly. "Is everything alright?"

Her expression was filled with concern, worried if I've been too stressed up about the decathlon, but here I am, shouting at her.

"You, and that guy! I know everything that's going on here! Why didn't you tell me?" I couldn't help it but ranted my anger on her.

Bailey definitely caught on.

"You really want to know why I didn't tell you? 'Cos I know this is how you'll act if I told you!" Bailey spoke to me. She tried to keep her voice down, hoping not to stir the attention of the rest of the crew in the school hall.

It's not that I wanted to make a scene, but rather I had to get my point across!

"Well looks like trying to keep it a secret didn't work did it? Or did you just plan on not telling me at all, right up till the moment on the actual day when I'm seated at the audience and I get the best surprise of my life, seeing my girlfriend making out with some dude!"

"Cody," she sighed. "I really wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how. You're always so insecure about these stuff and I didn't want you to get the wrong idea. See it from my point of view, what if you had to tell me instead?" Bailey's words echoed through my mind.

Okay, now that really stings because I know I'm wrong and she's right but there was no way I'm backing out of this argument!

"So you think I'm insecure? Well whatever, what's done cannot be undone. Enjoy your rehearsals with Mr. Romeo!" I said before turning away.

"Yeah that's so you, I knew you were going to react like this. You're so immature sometimes!" Bailey shouted back at me, this time earning the stares of everyone in the hall.

I took a few steps forward before pausing to ponder. For someone as smart as me, I sure didn't think before I speak. I knew what I had to do. I turned around, wanting to apologize, saying I'm sorry, I shouldn't let my jealousy get over me. Will you forgive me? But guess what, Bailey wasn't behind me. She sure scooted fast away from me and was with her cast members, standing real close to Mr. Romeo, smiling and giggling away to a joke he just made. My blood boiled again, but I knew there was nothing I could do at that moment. I'm quite sure she just did that on purpose to annoy me further, as I saw her glance at me before I headed for the door.


"Oh Romeo, you're the most charming guy in the whole kingdom. Take me away; take me far far away from here."

"Oh Bailey, I'm your prince and I'm here to make your wish a reality but are you sure you're willing to leave this kingdom? What about Cody, isn't he your one true love?"

"No, times have changed. You are my one true love Romeo, it's you, always been you. Cody is nothing more than an immature, insecure, bratty hooligan."

With a swift move, Romeo hoisted Bailey up the horse, and they rode away from the kingdom. Romeo turned back to take one last look at the kingdom, but Bailey spun him around, getting his full attention before leaning in for a kiss and they rode into the sunset.

"Can you explain to Aaron why electrons are negative?"

I heard someone calling out to me but my mind has wondered too far away.

"Cody, are you listening to me? Cody?"

"NO! Don't kiss him, don't leave me behind!" I spoke as my mind was still in the dream.

"Cody Martin! Get your head up from the table now!" Mr Letterman, our science decathlon coach, said before banging his fist on my table.

I should be quite embarrassed about what I just ranted out in my sleep, but the pain from Bailey leaving me for Romeo felt so real that I just couldn't get my mind straight to answer Mr Letterman.

"No, I mean yes. Yes, I'm listening to you." That was a close save before Mr Letterman whacks my head with our newly bought science encyclopaedia. Now that really hurts.

"Mr Martin, I understand you teens are in the best state of your life. Engaging in relationships, all about the puppy love, BUT," his words came booming down at me. "YOU NEED TO BE FOCUS IF YOU WANT TO WIN. DO YOU WANT TO WIN CODY? WELL DO YOU?"

"Since Cody is unavailable for comment, all of you will spend the weekend doing for me a one thousand words report on how to stay focus and prepared for the decathlon. Maybe one of your reports can help Cody," Mr Letterman announced to the class, earning groans and stares that looks like daggers aimed towards me.

This was the first time I noticed my team mates staring at me. Their faces held the expressions of anger, disappointment and hope. Mostly disappointed that their team leader, that's me, is so out of game, so out of focus, and will just cause them their victory. However, there was hope in their eyes as well. They hoped that it is just a phase I'm going through and they really hope I won't let them down.
