Hello everyone,
Here is another chapter for you. Thank you for the reviews I appreciate them.
Enjoy.
Chapter Eight:
Stacey enters her house after Randy drops her off. She is on cloud nine not noticing her older brother there.
"Hello sis." He surprises her.
"Oh Jack, you scared me." She holds her chest.
"Did you have fun with Randy?" Their parents told him where she was when he wondered himself.
"I did. He is so sweet. We watch the stars while I cuddle into him." She has a bigger smile at the memory.
"It sounds romantic, so he knows about your recording the attack." He causally asks.
"Yeah he does, wait how do you know?" She is surprise that he knows.
"Remember me aware of my surroundings." She nods. "I saw you walk to class as a helped John and AJ." He pours him some juice.
"Why didn't you tell them then?" She huffs not liking this skill; she can't hide anything from him.
"I value your privacy. You can tell people when you want to I am not giving to tattle on you." He sips his juice.
"Why?"
"Because I am proud of you sis, I know you better than what Kourtney does. You are very loyal to her, but it is the time to follow your own path. You have other options and other friends you can hang out with." He advises her baby sister.
"You have faith in me that I will be something in school without her?"
"Yes, I always have faith in you. You are your own person. Don't be someone else's lap dog." He continues in hoping she takes it in. He wants what is best for his baby sister.
"Thanks big brother." She hugs him.
"You're welcome sis. Again I'm proud of you." He kisses her head before heading up to his room.
The Next Day:
Randy is getting ready. He is happy how last night went. As he puts on his shirt, his phone rings.
"Good morning, Randy." Stacey greets him.
"Good morning Stacey. Am I picking you up today?" He responds back.
"You know we can't be seen at school together. We need to give it sometime so Kourtney isn't so suspicious."
"But why?" He whines. "I want to show you off to everyone. I want everyone to know you are my girl." He sweetly tells her.
"I know baby, but a few days of being civil with each other will be better. Just wait for a few more days. It will be worthy it trust me." She comforts him.
"You are still coming with me, as my guest, to AJ's house, right?" He hopes wanting his best friend and John to know about this.
"If AJ and John are okay with me coming over, then yes I will come. You have to get their permission, especially AJ. If she says no, then I can't come, okay?" She warns knowing he likes to surprise his best friend.
"Fine." He smirks bringing her anyway.
"Promise me Randy." She senses that he will do it anyway.
"Yes I promise. I will see you at school later, honey." He says sweetly.
"Yes you will baby." She says back.
When Randy picks up AJ, he is nervous on how he will introduce the thought of having Stacey join them. He doesn't know where AJ's feelings are for the Kourntey incident.
"Hello Randy." She gets into the passenger seat like always.
"Hello AJ." He greets nervously.
"What's wrong?" She knows, off the bat, that he is not himself.
"Umm…how are your feelings towards the Kourtney scenario?" He starts to drive.
"I still feel like they shouldn't do that to people. She is still like her boyfriend. They need to superior then everyone else." She says with disgust.
"And her group, do you feel the same?"
"Yup, they are just followers that can't find their own identities. They need to be told what to do." She pities them.
"So, you have the same feelings towards Stacey too as the others?"
"Actually, I saw potential in Stacey. I thought she was better than them. I know that you like her, but she let me down. She didn't stop and it gave me some true reality to her." She exposes really hoping that they became a couple.
"Okay thanks." Randy stops at John's place.
"Why do you want to know?" She asks as they wait for John.
"Yesterday, she came to my house to show me something. That something turn, well change, my attitude of her. We had our first kiss. I invited her to dinner tonight." He says nervously.
"I don't know Randy. What is the something she showed you?"
"I shouldn't be the one to say it. She wants to be the one to tell you. I thought we can do it tonight." He hopes that she can come.
"I'm sorry Randy I can't right now. I just want a normal dinner like we usually do." She requests knowing he will be disappointed.
"Oh okay I will talk to her." He smiles hiding his disappointment.
"She can come next week. Jack is coming on that day. We can make it a guest day. All three of us can all bring guest that day." She offers seeing him disappointed.
"Are you sure?" He perks up not knowing that it could be a trick.
"Definitely, trust me I am not pulling her leg." She grins. Randy is still uneasy that it could be a trick.
"Hey guys, what's up?" John enters the car. He doesn't really ask for help being a very independent person.
"Next Friday we are bringing guests over; you can bring Ms. Silver over." AJ teases.
"Eww no, I don't want a teacher with us at dinner." Randy is oblivious to what is happening.
"That's right AJ it will be to awkward, so no I will not invited her." He shoots her a glare.
"Right, it will be awkward for us." She giggles.
"Did I miss something?" Randy notices their teasing interactions.
"Nope, just let us go to school." He playfully orders.
At school, they are at AJ's locker like usual.
"So what are we having tonight?" Randy inquires.
"I don't know, mommy usually text or calls me on the meal and she hasn't. I guess she wants to surprise us." She gets her books.
"Maybe." John says
"Hello Randy." Stacey walks towards them.
"Hello Stacey." He turns all cute and adorable.
"Hell John. Hello AJ." She greets.
"Hello Stacey." John greets a bit sour that she didn't stop the teasing.
"Hello Stacey." AJ, this time, says in a polite way. She is more curious on her conversation with Randy about her.
"I'll see you at your practice today." She flirts as she walks by him.
"Yes you will." He follows her path as he stops to admire her walk away. "Damn, my girl is fine." He says a bit out loud.
"Your girl?" John and AJ both say in surprise.
"Umm…yeah she is a girl. Let us get to class, shall we?" He walks to his English class where Stacey is.
John and AJ both look at each other confuse. "Something is up with him and Stacey." John speaks out.
"Oh you have no idea." She giggles as she walks to class.
"What do you know?" He follows her.
"Nothing, I know nothing." She smiles.
"Yah right."
Randy walks into English class to see Stacey beside his new desk.
"What are you doing there?" He smiles not complaining.
"Did you forget this was my seat for a day? This is my new seat approved by Mr. Jones." She informs him. "Why are you complaining?" She smiles looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Definitely not, so we can't have you come tonight." She pouts. "I know you are disappointed. AJ just wants a normal, simple, regular dinner for tonight. With everything that happened, I want to give her that." He explains the reason.
"I get it don't worry. I did say that if AJ said no not to force it, right?"
"Right, however, she did lay that you can come next Friday. We are having a guest day that night. You will be my guest." He offers.
"I will love to come. Maybe then I can tell them about what I told you."
"Definitely and then I can finally show you off, to them anyways." He whispers.
The rest of the class went fast with them working on their assignment. Randy and Stacey kept looking at each other with smiles all through class. After class, Randy walks her to the classroom door. As he is about to walk to class, Kourtney interrupts.
"Stacey!" She and her followers walk to them. "We have an impromptu to cheerleading practice today after school." She demands.
"I'm sorry I can't come." She speaks quietly.
"What was that? Can you speak up, please?"
"I can't come to cheerleading practice." She says louder.
"And why can't you come?" She is shock usually having no one disagree with her.
"I am watching the football practice." She looks at Randy.
"Why, no one interesting is going to practice there?" She takes a shot at Randy and John.
"Aww thanks for the compliment, Kourtney." He says sacrastically.
"Whatever Randy, can you see I'm talking to my best friend? Why don't you go to your loser best friend?"
"She is not a loser; you're the loser." She defends immediately covering her mouth.
Kourtney is appalled. "Well, Stacey if you don't come to the practice, you will be out of the team." She warns.
"Then I am out of the team. I don't want to be part of your world anymore. Next year, I will make sure that I am head cheerleader. Come on Randy your friends are waiting for you." She takes his hand to go to AJ's locker.
As they are an earshot away from them, Randy speaks up. "What was that?" He is surprise and a bit turned on by her confidence.
"My older brother gave me confidence and advice that I don't need her friendship." She stands tall full of confidence.
"He is a smart brother. When do I get to meet him?" He questions wanting to get to know her better.
"Maybe I can have him drop me next Friday and stay for awhile. You, John, and my brother can bond while AJ and I can bond as well. You will love him; he also goes to school here." She requests.
"That would be great I can't wait to meet him."
After school:
John and Randy are at football practice with Stacey at the bleachers. Randy waves at her as she waves back.
"Ah, I get it now you two are dating." It finally becomes clear to him what is going between them two.
"Shh." He covers his mouth. "Not everyone knows and we like to keep it that way, please." He looks around just in case someone overheard.
"Whatever you say man." He takes his hand off his mouth. "On the other hand, I am proud of you man."
"Thanks John." He wraps an arm around his shoulder.
"Okay guys, our main QB and one of our defensemen are expelled from school, so Randy you are our new QB." Everyone, but four players, cheers in approval. They don't like how their QB runs the team. The four players are ones closer to the two students expelled. They got detention for two months and suspend for two games.
"Congratulations Randy, make us proud." The team coach congrats as he pat his shoulder.
"I will not let you down coach." He smiles very happy that he is the youngest QB now. Everything is going Randy's way; a new girlfriend and now the main QB. Life is good.
"Congratulations man, your parents are going to be happier for you."
"Thanks John."
AJ enters the classroom for the club to see Jack looking towards the football field. "Hello Jack."
"AJ, how about we watch your friends practice? Comic book club is anywhere we are both at." He inquires.
"Sure. As long as it is with you I am all up for it." She flirts.
"Come on." He offers his arm to her.
As they get to the football field, Stacey sees them and waves. AJ waves back along with Jack.
"You know Stacey." She questions never seeing them interact before.
"Yup, she is my baby sister." He guides her to Stacey.
"Sister?" AJ questions.
