"I hope this rain ends soon. All this humidity it bad for my hair." Alicia said. She chosen the wrong day to straighten her curls.
"This rain better end after detention. Looking at the grey clouds is just so depressing." Maryse said, her face on her palm as she looked out the bus window. "It'd been raining all night last night, and looks like it'll be raining all day today too."
"Here comes Ugly Kelly," Kaitlyn announced as Kelly got on the bus.
"Is that..." Layla's eyes grew wide.
"Christian's jacket?" Alicia, Kaitlyn, and Layla said together.
Maryse broke her gaze at the view, and turned her head towards the front. There was Kelly, wearing Christian's greenish/yellowing jacket. She obviously heard the three girls, because she looked down and blushed as she made her way to her usual spot.
"Oh my god," Alicia said, with a look of disgust.
"We have to tell Christian when he gets on!" Layla said angrily.
Once Maryse found her voice, she was able to speak. "Calm down guys. What's the big deal?"
"She stole Christian's jacket!" Kaitlyn protested.
"Oh, pshh, come on!" Maryse said, narrowing her eyes at Kaitlyn. "It's not like you haven't worn his jacket before."
"Yeah, but I like him." Kaitlyn said.
The three girls gasped as Maryse rolled her eyes.
"She must like him!" They said together.
"I give up." Maryse mumbled, getting up and taking a seat next to Mike instead.
As Maryse took a seat, the bus screeched to a halt in front of the bus stop Christian gets on. He was soaking wet when he got on, so when he showed his bus pass to the driver, he shook his head like a dog -a very hot dog, Maryse shall add- gave a goofy as he looked at the people on the bus.
His eyes landed on Kelly. She was staring at him, giving him a message through the eyes saying I'll give you your jacket when you're alone. Christian nodded, before making his way to the back.
Kaitlyn grabbed Christian's arm, pulling him to sit next to her since Maryse left.
"Did you see what Kelly was wearing?" Kaitlyn asked.
Christian gave a puzzled look. "Yeah, why?"
"She's wearing your jacket!" Layla said.
"Yeah, I lent it to her." Christian said nonchalant.
No other words were spoken for another 30 second until Edge got on the bus and Christian moved to sit with him.
"Is Kelly...?" Edge started.
"Yupp." Christian said with a nod. "Long story, I'll tell you later."
Christian was in line, getting his lunch when someone lightly tapped his shoulder. He turned to see a bright Kelly smiling.
"Here's your jacket." She held it out to him.
"Thanks," Christian said with a grin.
"Don't worry, I washed it. But I wore it this morning because I was cold, so sorry if it's wet or something." Kelly looked down.
Christian laughed. "No sweat," Christian slipped the jacket on before taking a sandwich and putting it on his tray.
"Christian!" Layla called from their table.
Christian looked over his shoulder, and saw all of their confused faces watching them. Kelly walked passed Christian and out the cafeteria. Christian watched her leave, then paid for his food and sat at his table.
"Bro, what is up with you two?" Zack asked.
"Nothing, we're just partners." Christian insisted.
"Yeah, that's what they all say." Kaitlyn harshly said, turning her attention to her food.
"Honestly guys?" Christian asked, temper rising. He shook his head and ate his food in silence.
Maryse narrowed her eyes on her food. What really is going on? If there is something... Maybe she should go find Kelly and ask. Yeah, that's a good idea.
"I'll be right back," Maryse said, getting up and taking a step to the door.
"Whoa, hold on," Alicia ordered. "Where do you think you're going?"
Maryse swore under her breath. "Washroom. Emergency. You don't want to come." Before running off. That got them off her back.
Maryse searched every corner of the halls. When she couldn't find her anywhere, she tried to think of Kelly's favourite spot when they were friends. She snapped her finger, and dashed for the park behind the school. Kelly had to be there.
Maryse hesitated at the exit door, then shook her head and ran outside. There was Kelly, sitting on a wet swing. She was swinging, and she looked quite happy.
"Kelly," Maryse called.
Kelly stopped and jumped off the swing.
"What-what do you want? I'll give you my money if you don't hurt me," Kelly begged.
Maryse rolled her eyes and smiled. "I'm not a bitch, you know." She said, taking a step closer. "Remember, we used to be friends."
"Yeah, a long time ago." Kelly mumbled.
Maryse frowned. "Okay, I'm not the bestest friend. But friends tell eachother everything."
"Uhm, yeah..." Kelly said, not knowing where the conversation was heading.
"Sooo, I want to know what's going on with you and Christian?" Maryse asked, giving Kelly a trustworthy smile.
"Honestly? Nothing," Kelly said. "I'm not even joking, we're just partners on the assignment."
Maryse narrowed her eyes and rubbed her chin. "Why did you have his jacket this morning?"
Kelly sighed, telling Maryse about her cat and how Christian ran up to her, and she cried on him. Maryse remember all the times Kelly talked about her cat and her dog Daisy. They mean't the world to her.
"Oh," Maryse was taken back by Christian's kindness.
"Yeah." Kelly bit her lip. "We should get going, the bell will ring soon."
"Voulez-vous être amis?" Maryse asked, with a sad tone. She had said, "Do you want to be friends?"
Kelly laughed. "You know I don't speak french." She complained.
Maryse cleared her throat, and said in a happier tone, "I asked, will you wrestle me?" She lied.
Kelly was shocked, then nodded. "Yeah... sure!"
"Great." Maryse smiled, linking arms with Kelly, before they made their way back into the building.
Yay, hope you liked it =) Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa =)
