Read and Review
Suddenly, all the requests to listen to John and Stacy's mysterious relationship ceased. Randy and Torrie found it very weird. Nevertheless, their confusion came to an end when saw John approaching in an awful mood. Not too long before - a few seconds later -, Stacy crossed the door and her facial expression wasn't very friendly either.
- Who invited her? - John quickly queried, ignoring the attention over him. He noticed how the girls' eyes were glowing. He did not want to hear what Torrie and Randy may have told about his and Stacy's relationship.
- She is my best friend and she is new around here. I invited her - Torrie replied sending him a not very friendly glance. - Do you have a problem?
- Do you need to ask if he has a problem? - Randy joked. Of course John had a problem! John Cena had a big problem with having Stacy Keibler around him. The farther the blonde was from him, happier John would feel.
- I'm sorry for being late. - Those were the first words pronounced by Stacy when she reached the table where her best friend was sat along with the seniors that would become their new friends. She sent John a throwaway glace that didn't last for long. - My help wasn't so helpful and I took longer to arrive.
- Please, take a seat - Trish said and brought herself near Amy, to allow Stacy to take a seat at her side. The taller blonde pulled up a smile and accepted Trish's kindness. - We haven't met yet, I'm Patricia, but everyone calls me Trish.
- Nice to meet you - the newest resident of Vince's private high school extended her hand to Trish, who accepted it with a smile. - I'm Stacy, but I'm sure you already knew it.
- How was the conversation with your uncle? - Torrie asked before the other girls had time to steal Stacy's attention. - Was Bischoff in a good mood?
- I thought it would have been worse. - A long speech to behave well wasn't as dreadful as she initially thought it would be.
- So, how did you meet Johnny boy? - Candice queried right away, not giving Stacy a moment to breathe. If Randy and Torrie wouldn't tell, she decided to go to the primal source of information.
Gritting his teeth to not say a word, John walked away from his friends. He had already had his daily dose of Stacy Keibler - his foul mood couldn't handle her anymore. The girl knew how to mess up his nerves and how to make him lose his temper.
Giving Candice a quick kiss on her cheek, Randy went after John, who had retired himself to the bar counter. It was not a solidarity act as many would think. The taller student just didn't want to listen to the gossip between the girls.
- So, what's the deal between you and John? - Trish queried when the boys were far away enough to not listen to their conversation - as it would matter anyway. - Torrie and Randy refused to tell us what is happening or happened between you too.
- Did you ever hear the curiosity killed the cat? - The redhead from the group couldn't deny she was curious to know the answer too. Nevertheless, Stacy had only arrived some hours ago at the school and they hadn't met for too long to start an interrogatory about her personal life - asking the new blonde if she and John had ever dated or something kinky happened between them was messing in her personal life.
- Amy, you are just curious as me and Candice. Don't even try to refute it - the petit blonde replied as quickly as she could. The curiosity may have killed the cat, but it certainly wasn't going to kill her.
- I may be curious, but I'm always civilized. - Amy folded her arms after the words that came out from her mouth sounded very harsh. It wasn't pleasant to interrogate someone you barely knew about her love life.
- Are you going to tell us the deal between you and John? - Candice took charge of the conversation. She would leave Amy and Trish to fight while she discovered the "dirty" details. - We were told you two met during the last Summer. Is that true?
- That's true - Stacy confirmed. Her hate relationship with John wasn't something she wanted to talk about. As for now, she would rather keep it private than spread it. Even Torrie and Randy only knew a few details about their troubled relationship and neither John nor she made intentions of offering all the information.
- Torrie and Randy told that you didn't date. Is that true too?
- Yes - she answered apprehensively. The fresh student asked herself the reason those three girls were so interest in her relationship with John. They weren't fond of each other. Period! There was nothing more to tell - at least, there was nothing more to tell to the people who surrounded them.
- Nonetheless, only because you didn't date, it doesn't mean nothing happened between you two - Trish exclaimed.
- Don't you think you are being a little to nosy? - Torrie inquired, saving Stacy from answering another question and making her feel comfortable. The honey blonde glanced at Stacy comprehensively and with an apologize smile etched across her face. - Usually they don't make police interrogatories, but as John never had a public girlfriend, they couldn't stop themselves.
- I can swear I didn't date him and I'll never be his girlfriend - Stacy assured. He would be the last person on Earth she would ever fall for. By the corner of the eye, she caught a glance of her arch-enemy, who wasn't only accompanied by Randy. - Maybe you could ask her if she is his girlfriend.
Everyone glanced at the direction to where Stacy was pointing with her hazel eyes. A thin girl with a long red hair and a dazzling smile was at John's side exchanging words with him. As moments before Randy and Torrie laughed when Candice asked if John and Stacy had dated, the girls couldn't stop themselves from chuckling when such question was made. Stacy stared at them with a clueless expression. Did she say something very wrong? Or did she say something really stupid?
- As much as Maria wants, she is not his girlfriend and she won't be in a near future. - Candice was the first recovering from the small laughing session. A mocking smile was the only signal of how much she chuckled before. - Last year, a party was thrown and John invited Maria to be his date. Since then Maria has been pretty much a stalker.
- She wouldn't be a stalker if he hadn't given her hope - Amy added. Only after the party Maria started "stalking" John. If John hadn't showed any interested or hadn't given her any kind of hope, she believed the other redhead wouldn't be after him.
- For what we heard nothing happened between them. - Trish's pink lips formed a naughty smiled. - But only they know if it is true or not.
- Stacy already has no faith on John. You are only making it worse - the honey blonde advised the three girls that were giving all the gossip. If Trish and Candice didn't stop, they would provide a lot of information for Stacy to use against John during their stupid discussions.
- So, if John isn't your boyfriend, do you have one? - Candice inquired making Stacy's love life to be the talk of the town once again.
It made Stacy Keibler to wonder which kind of questions those girls would make her while their friendship grew. A sixth sense told her with the time she would know and probably she wouldn't be very pleased.
With a soda drink on his hands, Randy observed the scene between John and Maria. His best friend had already given to the red haired girl all the signs he could to say he was not interested in her without pronouncing the words - John told him once he didn't want to hurt her; if he said the words it would break her heart and he didn't want it to happen.
Nevertheless, all those signals had been ignored or misunderstood by Maria. Since the senior year began, it was rare for her to give John a moment of rest.
Randy's lips formed a smirk. John's future wasn't the best. Not only he would have to deal with a stalker, but he would have to deal with Stacy too. The dark haired man wouldn't like to be in his friend's shoes. It was the last of his wishes.
- I watched you this afternoon at the football practice - the young girl said getting closer of the object of her attention. With his elbow placed on top of the bar's counter, John faced her and with a forced smile. - I waved to you, but you didn't wave back.
- I'm sorry. I didn't see you - It was a slight lie. Maria Kanellis was an easy girl to find in the middle of the crowd because of her fire hair. And of course, he had seen her waving at him. He just turned an eye blind to it. - The coach wants us to stay focused on the practice. We can't have distractions.
- It's okay. - With a sweet smile, Maria coyly tucked her long red hair behind her ears. The next set of words coming off her lips caught John off guard. - Do you have plans for tomorrow night?
His jaw dropped and for an instant John froze not knowing exactly what to say. She was suggesting a date and as it was Randy's last wish to be in John's shoes, that was John's last wish. He already had made a mistake by inviting her to be his date at the party. The senior wasn't going to do the same once again.
- Tomorrow night I told Randy I would help him. - His free arm tapped Randy's shoulder with strength. Luckily the fresh soda Randy was holding wasn't poured. A stern gaze was sent in John's direction. - He is having problems throwing the ball at the field and I can't allow the team to lose a game because he had too much fun over the Summer.
- If you aren't free tomorrow night, what about the night after? - she queried full hope to John's dismay. He didn't want to hurt Maria feelings, but he was running out of excuses. It would be so much easy if he had courage to tell her to give up.
- I have to study. - It was not a good excuse and John understood it very quickly - even before she raised her plucked eyebrow. John wasn't bad student, but he wasn't an applied student either. No way he would grab his books and open them to study when school had only started two weeks ago. - I'm having a hard time in Bischoff's class.
- I can help you study. - That was not a good proposal.
- I need to study alone or I won't study at all. I get distracted pretty easily. - He was feeling bad for telling all those lies. Nevertheless he didn't want to spend his time with Maria who clearly wanted to be more than friends with him. - Look, if I ever need a study buddy, I call you.
- I won't forget it. - With a huge grin, Maria walked away from the bar counter. She sat around a table where some of friends were and quickly they stared sharing giggles.
- You will never call her - Randy announced full of certain. It wasn't needed to be inside John's mind to discern he would never pick up his cell phone and to dial Maria's number.
- Not only I won't want to call her as I won't answer her calls. Maria is like glue! - Turning his back at the direction where Maria was, John was obligated to catch a glance by the corner of his eye of the table where the girls were sat. - I'm sorry for telling her you were having problems in the field.
- Next time tell her you need help at the field.
- I don't think she would believe it. - The taller football player wanted to offer John a reply. Nonetheless, it never happened due to a new presence at their side. - Did you get tired of your new friend, Candice?
- I believe there is some story between you two that neither you nor Stacy want to tell us - the long haired girl replied. Completely ignoring John, she gave Randy her full attention. Maybe he could tell her something. - You must know something.
- I don't know more than you. - He knew a lot more than Candice, but he wasn't going to break John's trust. As much as he cared about Candice, he and John had been friends for a long time. They teased each other a lot - they could make each other's blood boiled -, but they would not break the trust between them - not even for a girl.
Candice didn't take Randy's words as true. Not only Randy was John's best friend, but he spent the Summer with him and pretty much was around when Torrie presented her best friend. Randy had to know it and he didn't want to tell it.
- Don't you ever think Maria's head doesn't work right? I'm always pushing her away, yet she keeps coming back - John exclaimed only to change the theme of conversation. For now his Summer was closed chapter - he would only open it when it was necessary. - I didn't know I had a huge effect on girls. Aren't you feeling an urge to leave Randy for me?
- You wish you had a girl as me - Candice replied, knowing she wasn't getting anything from those two seniors boys. Approaching her lips from Randy's check, she placed a gently kiss. - See you tomorrow.
As soon as Candice walked away and couldn't take a glance at him, Randy hit John on the head with his hand palm.
- What was that for? - It hadn't hurt him very much. However just because no pain ran through his body, it didn't mean he had to be in a good mood after what his friend did.
- For hitting on my girl - Randy simply answered. Of course it wasn't the truth. John made Candice stroll away when he could have spent some quality time with her. - I don't hit on your girl, so you better don't hit on mine.
- And who is my girl? - An evil smile was offered by Randy and before he could give an answer John stopped him. He already knew which name was going to be pronounced and he didn't want to listen to it. He had already listened to it enough times. - I don't want to know.
John Cena couldn't just wait for the worst day of his life came to an end - too bad the next morning it would all start all over again and Stacy's arrival wouldn't only be a nightmare.
