Kelly looked at herself in the mirror. It was as if she was a whole new person, which she basically was.
Her hair was done in a pretty up-do, and her make-up was a million times better than any of those popular girls. Her dress hugged her in the right places, and she was about to do the thing she loved best.
Playing the piano.
Today was a recital, and she was performing a medley of classic numbers by Beethoven.
It was 8 in the morning, and Kelly was going to have to miss school. But she was was scheduled to play at 4 in the afternoon.
"Honey, ready to go?" Her father asked.
Kelly smiled. "Ready as I'll ever be, just one second though, okay?"
Kelly sat down on her bed, putting her phone to her er. She left a message to Maryse, letting her know she won't be at school today, before going downstairs and out the door with her dad.
"Everyday I see my dreams, every day I see my dreams," Maryse sang as she waited for the bus to pick her up. Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and she checked to see Kelly wasn't going to make it, and was at her monthly piano recital at St. Mark's church.
Maryse got on the bus and sat down at the very back. She was always the first to be picked up. And she didn't mind the nice solitude.
"Hey girl!" Layla called, rushing to sit next to her. Maryse smiled at her friend. "You've been a little distant lately, what's up?"
"Oh sorry, I've just been doing a lot of thinking." Maryse explained. "I'm better now!"
"Well good. I don't want you to be a sour puss all day." Layla joked, laughing.
"Yeah, right." Maryse said before the bus started to pack with people. He let Layla, Kaitlyn, and Alicia talk among themselves, only joining in when necessary.
The bus stopped at Christian's usual place, and he got on, searching the bus. He looked a bit disappointed, but then saw Maryse, Layla, Alicia, and Kaitlyn at the back before making his way there. He sat in front of Maryse and Layla. Kaitlyn pointed to the back of Christian's head before making a heart shape with her fingers, making the girls giggle.
Christian turned around and glanced at each of their faces, with a grin on his face. Maryse rolled her eyes and flicked him in the head.
"Ow," Christian complained, giving Maryse a pout.
"Suck it up, buttercup." Maryse said, making the girls laugh. "Just kidding, love you!"
"I can't say the same," Christian joked, making Maryse hit him again.
"Oh please, you two make the perfect couple," Layla said, making Alicia nod. Kaitlyn stayed silent.
"Who makes a perfect couple?" Edge asked, sitting next to Christian.
"Christian and Maryse!" Alicia said.
Maryse rolled her eyes. "Oh, kill me now."
Christian laughed. "Just a second ago you were confessing your love for me!"
Edge raised a brow at Maryse questioningly.
Maryse smiled. "Yes Christian, I love you dearly. Like a brother!" She added emphasis on brother.
Christian shrugged. "Okay then." Then laughed. "Just kidding, I'm not interested in finding a girlfriend at the moment."
"What's wrong Captain Charisma, got your sights set on a specific lady?" Edge teased his best friend.
"Shut up, man." Christian nudged Edge before jumping up and leaving the bus when it reached the school.
"Edge!" Maryse said, 2nd period.
"Yes?" He asked, turning his attention to her, making the two boys he was talking to walk away.
"Okay, well Kelly is at her piano recital today, so she's not at school. But I think we should send Christian there to listen to her playing." Maryse smiled, proud of her good idea.
"Not bad, but we can't just tell him it's a piano recital, and it's for Kelly." Edge said, thinking about it.
"How about we take him there?" Maryse suggested.
"No offence, but you with us makes it suspicious."
"Fine, I'll head there right after school before you and Christian. Got it?"
Edge nodded. "Got it, but how are we gonna keep Christian here until detention is over?"
"Well it's practice after school today, and we end at the same time, so we can just grab him and go." Maryse said.
"That works!" Edge grinned, putting his hand up. Maryse rolled her eyes and high-fived him before class started.
"Health was completely disgusting today," Randy complained, picking at his food and not taking a single bite.
"I know, I just lost my appetite for a year," Alicia agreed.
Layla laughed. "Glad I don't have it."
Maryse looked at Alicia in confusion. "What did you guys do in Health?"
"We were watching a documentary about how the brain works, and they literally took the brain from a dead body and it was... moving!" Alicia said, looking as if the last word was going to kill her.
Maryse looked disgusted. "Okay, I'm so not eating any more," she said before pushing her tray forward.
"I'll eat it," Miz said with a smirk.
Maryse shook her head. "Be my guest," she said, and handed him the tray.
"So homecoming's coming up!" Kaitlyn said excitedly.
"I know! I'm so excited! I wonder who will go with who?" Layla said, making Kaitlyn and Alicia agree.
"I hope Christian has his eyes set on me," Kaitlyn said dreamily. "I can't think of a better person to go to the homecoming dance with, other than Captain Charisma himself."
"Speaking of the captain, where is he?" Alicia asked.
"I think he went out for lunch with Edge." Maryse said, taking a sip of her water.
Kaitlyn smiled. "Soon, I'll be the one going out for lunch with Christian,"
Maryse made sure nobody was watching when she rolled her eyes.
Soooo... How'd you like it? =D I'm thinking after this "week" I'll make the chapters longer, and not break up the days into 2 parts. =DD
