"Dad, please don't make me go!" Kelly begged.
Mr. Kelly sighed, shooing Kelly out of the car. "You missed both Friday and Monday, you have to go."
"Fine." Kelly pouted, getting out in her usual clothes. "Love you, dad."
"Love you too, have a good day!" He called, backing away, and driving off.
Kelly sighed, feeling more alone than ever as she walked down the halls. She quickly made her way to English, taking her seat in the back.
"All right class, just wanted to remind you all of your projects, that are due on Monday." Mr. Parson wrote down the assignment on the board. Kelly gasped, starting to feel a bit of panic. With everything going on, she'd totally forgotten. "I'll give you all a free period today to work on your assignments."
Kelly rushed down to Christian. "Hey, I am so sorry! I completely forgot about the project, and-and-"
Christian laughed. "Yeah, I know. A lot's been going on." He pulled out a bunch of papers that were stapled together. "Guess you didn't do all the work this time, huh?"
Kelly gave Christian a look of disbelief. "You did not do it by yourself!"
"Actually, I did." Christian said with a smirk.
"How?" Kelly still couldn't believe what she was hearing and seeing.
"Well you were gone on Tuesday, Friday, and yesterday, and those were the times we had a free period." Christian explained. "Not to mention when you were at your sleep over. I took the work home and finished all of the write up."
"Wow." Kelly smiled. "You're crazy."
"Oh, and I wanted to talk to you about two days ago."
Kelly frowned, looking down. "Now's not the best time-"
"When will be the best time? I wanted to come over yesterday, and ditch school just so I could be there for you and Monte. But after you slammed the door in my face, I kind of felt like it was best if you were alone."
Kelly flopped her arms. "Well thank you. Thank you for leaving me alone when someone important to me left."
Christian frowned.
"I-I'm so sorry..." Kelly stuttered, grabbing her bag and dashing out the door.
"Was that your partner?" Mr. Parson asked.
"Yupp." Christian said, sighing before going back to work.
Maryse watched as Kelly stormed out. "Excuse me," She said to Mike, before following Kelly. She saw Kelly run into the washroom.
"Kelly? Honey, what's wrong?" Maryse asked, wrapping her arms around Kelly.
"I just-I don't- UGH!" Kelly screamed.
"It's okay... Do you want to talk about it?"
"You know Monte? My cat...?" Kelly asked, jumping up on the counter.
"Yeah, what about that cutie?" Maryse asked, joining her.
"Uhm... Well... He got a tumour in his stomach. He passed two days ago. That's why I called you..." Kelly turned her head.
Maryse frowned. "Oh, I am sooo sorry! I was going to come, I swear! But Kaitlyn started a party, and it was hectic, and I didn't want to leave in case they burn the house down! I told Christian to go and comfort you though..."
Kelly rolled her eyes. "Christian was a good help, but I was such a brat. I slammed his car door when he dropped me off, and I just yelled at him for leaving me alone."
Maryse gave a weak smile. "Oh, come on, it's Christian. He'll forgive you by lunch."
"No, he won't," Kelly argued. "And why should he? We're not friends, we're partners."
Maryse scoffed. "Come on Kelly, you know you're more than that now. He hung out with you at the park, he came to your recital, we called him in the middle of the night, and he was there for you when Monte passed away."
Kelly sighed. "I honestly have no clue what to believe anymore."
The bell rang, making the two separate to their next classes. But not before Maryse assured things would be better soon.
"Oh my gosh!" Kaitlyn squealed. "Homecoming is Friday!"
"I'm so excited!" Layla said, clapping her hands. Alicia agreed.
"Great. It's going to be just wonderful!" Maryse said, being fake. But being the stupidest girls ever, they didn't pick up on it.
"Who's going with who?" Alicia asked.
Edge smirked. "This is a little uncomfortable now."
"Oh, shush!" Kaitlyn said. "You're going with your girlfriend, the mystery woman. We all know that. Alicia, you and...?"
Alicia sighed. "Well there was no one else that reached my standards that weren't already called, so I'm going to the dance with Randy."
"Damn right!" He said, high-fiving the guys behind him. (B Listers)
"Lay?" Kaitlyn asked, moving on.
Layla rolled her eyes. "Oh, I decided to go with Zack Ryder. I'd rather go with him than go solo."
"Maryse?"
"Well, unlike you two," Maryse said, looking at Alicia and Layla. "I'm happy with my date. I'm going with Mike."
"So you said yes?" Edge asked.
"Yupp. And I'm glad. Mike's been really sweet. He helped me out a bit after the party." Kaitlyn cleared her throat. Maryse rolled her eyes. "Well, what about you, Kaitlyn? Who are you going with?"
Kaitlyn giggled. "Oh, I still don't have a date. But I'm hoping someone will ask me last minute."
"Awe, isn't that just so... Romantic?" Maryse spit out with a smile.
Kaitlyn giggled. "Oh, I know!"
Christian squirmed, looking uncomfortable.
"Oh, Christian, did you get a last minute date?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Uhm," Christian started. "Well- I-"
"Well?" Kaitlyn cut him off.
Christian sighed. "No. But I'm just gonna go solo."
"What! Why?" Kaitlyn demanded.
Christian shrugged. "I don't want to go through all that trouble. Plus, in 20 years from now, I'll look back on that moment and be saddened that I'd have lost contact with whoever that person I went with was."
Kaitlyn, Alicia, and Layla gasped.
"Don't ever talk like that!" Layla ordered.
"We'll always stick together!" Alicia said.
"That's right, forever and always!" Kaitlyn agreed.
Please don't let that happen, Maryse thought to herself.
Nothing interesting happened the rest of the day, so the next chapter will be Wednesday. Thanks for reading! Review please!
