Chapter 12: Denial

"OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily..." Abby was soon shutted up before the hand of Tori.

"Abby, calm down and shut up! I'll tell her." Tori insisted.

"Tell me what?" Emily cursiously asked, sitting down at the lunch table. When Emily had came into the cafeteria today & got her lunch, Abby was franticly waving at her like she desperately wanted to tell her something; which she did.

"Its not that big of a deal. It just that Abby always makes it seem like it is, but you know Abby; she gets excited over a new pencil." Tori teased.

Abby made a face at her. "Na ah! I do not! But what I'm talking about is too a big deal. It's like, the 2nd most important things you look forward to in high school!"

"Who cares! I personally think its a waste of time. You gotta do all this things, blah, blah, blah." Tori argued, making her hand go up & down as in a mocking motion.

"You're so mean! You know what, you're just jealous cause..."

"GUYS! What are you talking about?" Emily interrupted.

"HOMECOMING!" both Tori & Abby said at the same time.

"Ohhh, I see."

"Yeah, Tori don't like homecoming because she can never find a date." Abby smirked.

Tori lightly slapped Abby against her arm. "Not true! I could so find a date for homecoming. I just think the whole idea of spending money for a silly dress, ride, and all that junk for just one night is stupid. It's like prom, but its for everyone; not just seniors."

Abby arched her eyebrow, "Oh, you so know I'm right about whole date thing." Abby turned to Emily. "Homecoming is like the 2nd biggest thing to happen here! It's in about 3 weeks, or 4 weeks away from today; I think, not sure cause I get dates mixed up all the time. But I'm soooooo exciteddddd!" Abby squealed in her seat.

Tori pointed her finger at Abby and mouthed 'Koo-koo head sitting next to me.' Emily giggled and began eating her lunch. "So Em, are you taking a date to homecoming?"

"I don't know. If no ones asks me, I might not go." Emily shrugged.

"Well if no of us gets dates neither, we can all go together as friends!" Abby excitedly exclaimed. "We already got Tori down for going with friends anyway."

"HEY! I told you I can soooooooo get a date if I wanted to. And who says I'm going to homecoming?" Tori determined.

Abby pointed to herself. "ME! Oh come on, you've miss the last 3 homecomings the past few years. You are definitily coming to homecoming & prom this year. I don't care if you're coming alone or..."

Tori stopped her. "Hold on! What is with you thinking that I can't get a date!" Tori stood up from her chair and grabbed her tray of food. "I'll show you I can get a date for homecoming! Just watch me!"

Emily watched Tori leave, stomping away & out the lunch room. "Wow Abby, I think you really ticked off Tori."

Abby laughed, "Not at all. She's just has a competitive streak in her that makes her wanna accept any challenge given to her."

Emily smiled, "That sure does remind me of someone I know." She was thinking of how Jayden would always be so competitive when he had a challenge given to him. The thought of Jayden made her frown because when she thought of the team. When she thought of the team, she remembered the fun times they had together. It had been about a couple of weeks since the team had split up into the little social groups.

Abby saw the sad look on Emily face and started to worry. "Em, are you ok?"

"Huh?" Emily snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah, I was just thinking of something; its not important. Hey, I think lunch is almost over with. I'm gonna start heading back to class."

Abby watched Emily get up and walk away. Abby knew that whatever Emily was thinking was important but she didn't want to admit it.

With Mike

By the time the bell rang to signal lunch was over, Mike headed off for his Math class. When Mike sat down, his friend Justin came over to his desk. "Hey Mike, did I tell you that homecoming is coming soon?"

"No, you didn't."

"So, you plan on going?" Justin asked.

"I don't know. If I find a girl to ask, then yeah I'll go." Mike said. Instantly, Mike thought of asking Emily. He tried shaking that thought out of his head because he just thought of her as his best friend, didn't he?

"So, you plan on asking that Emily chick?" Justin asked, as if reading Mike's mind.

"What! No, she's like my best friend." Mike denied. Justin give him a look like he didn't believe him.

"Oh come on Mike! Everytime the subject of Emily comes up, you make it a discussion. Man, you're totally head over shoes for her!" Justin snickered, punching Mike playfully in his shoulder.

"No, I told you..." Mike was interrupted by the sight of Tori ranning into his classroom. She was franticly looking around until her eyes landed on Mike. She jazzed ran over to him and sit down next to him. "Mike, you wanna go to homecoming with me?"

"What?" Mike asked, shocked especially since Mike barely even knew this girl. The only time he saw her was when she was with Emily. The only thing he knew about her was her name; Tori.

Tori said louder, "You want to go to homecoming with me? Geez, are you deaf!"

"No, just shocked..."

Tori said impatiently, "So, is that a yes or a no?"

"Ummm, sure?" Mike hesistated.

"Good." Tori nodded, walking back to her class. Mike turned to Justin with a confused expression. "Uhh, want just happened?"

"Dude, you gotta date for homecoming! Well, that x's out asking Emily now, doesn't it?" Justin snickered, walking to his desk.

With Jayden

Jayden pulled his head up, almost falling over from tireness. The class he had right now was choir, and he hated it. He had no idea how he got it, but he wanted an instand schedule change. For now, he was stuck there; but he did have one good thing there. He wasn't the only guy in choir; he had Randy to drag along too. Today, the choir teacher was talking to another teacher who came into the room, so Jayden lend over to Randy. "Dude, how did we end up here?"

"I ask myself that everytime I enter this room." Randy sighed in depression. "Anyway, you heard about homecoming was coming around soon?"

"What's homecoming?" Jayden asked.

Randy looked at him, dumbfolded. "What is with you, man! First of all, you had never heard of football, homework, or school lunches. Now you never heard of homecoming! Wow, where did you come from anyway; the nomads?"

Jayden just stared at him. "No..."

"Just kidding, man. Well homecoming is a dance. It's like the 2nd biggest dance in the whole year! You got someone in mind on asking to homecoming?"

"Not really... I didn't even know about homecoming. Who are you taking?"

Randy grinned, "I don't know if she'll say yes, but I plan on asking Emily."

Jayden felt alittle taken back; he knew that Randy liked Emily but he didn't expect him to like her like that. Now Jayden felt really dumb at times...

"Jayden, are you ok?" Randy asked for when he noticed the facial expression on his face.

"What? Yeah, why ask?"

"When I told you that I wanted to ask Emily, your mood looked dark. I'm sorry if you were gonna ask you but I just..."

Jayden interrupted, "NO, no. It's cool; I wasn't thinking of asking Emily. I just didn't know you liked Emily and I felt dumb for not realizing that."

"Yeah, Emily's so sweet and kind and pretty. She's like, the complete package." Randy said, dreamy.

Jayden's jaw clenched, but he felt sursprised. He didn't feel jealous, did he?
