Chapter Fifty-three:
"So anything important happen at your school while I was gone?" AJ wonders as they eat dinner that all the parents prepared for AJ's return home.
"Well..." Randy looks towards John who looks towards Stacey, who finally looks at her brother Jack to give the announcement to her.
"No... no... no, I am not going to tell her your events." Jack, sitting next to AJ, won't be persuaded to convey their situation.
They all look at their parents for some help, but they all drink water for the message.
"Fine, AJ." John looks at AJ.
"What is it John?" AJ speaks innocently.
"AJ... Randy has something to tell you." He shoves food in his mouth.
"John you coward. Well-" Stacey and Jack both smile at him with mouths full. "Really, AJ..." The doorbell rings. "Ah, saved by the bell."
"I will get that." Mr. Lee stands up to answer the door. "Continue Randy."
"Randy, just tell me, what happen?" AJ not liking how this is conveying.
"Ms. Silver quit her job at the school thanks to Kourtney." Randy starts again.
"What?" She knows what happen at Ms. Silver, but not quitting.
"Kourtney caught John and Ms. Silver having relations in her classroom. She-"
"Wait, what?" John's parents interrupt. "You had relations with your English teacher?" Mr. Cena clarifies with Mrs. Cena in shock.
"Randy." John scowls at him.
"I am not going down alone." He replies.
"Is this true, son?" Mr. Cena wonders.
"Mom, dad, can we discuss this at home?" John request not to use his friends to lower his parents' reaction.
"Sounds good son, very matter of you." Mr. Cena approves. "Continue Randy."
"Kourtney blackmailed her."
"Not exactly." Randy dismiss. "She gave her the evidence and told her to transfer out of the school. She substitutes at another school."
"Great." AJ rolls her eyes. "I guess that makes Sarah happy." AJ smiles at John who nods.
"Speaking of Sarah, look who came for dinner." Mr. Lee arrives back with Sarah and her parents.
"Sarah." John's eyes brighten up as she walks towards her. "Hello." He kisses her cheek. This confesses his parents greatly not knowing they are a couple.
"Hello John. Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cena long time no see." She greets in the arms of John.
"Sarah, I see our son has missed you a lot." Curious about their interaction.
"Yes, he has along with me as well." Sarah rubs his arms.
"Hunny, Sarah is one of AJ's friends from school as well as John's best friend." Mr. Lee brings his wife up to speed.
"Right, please to meet you. Please join us to eat." Mrs. Lee offers.
"I brought some apple pie for dessert." Sarah's mom offers back.
"Thank you." Mrs. Lee appreciates.
"Anyways, back to my report." AJ focuses back on Randy.
"Maybe Sarah can continue." He hopes to catch Sarah off guard to accept.
"Continue what?" Sarah answers before she takes a spoonful of John's meal being on his lap.
John whispers in her ear. "Oh about Ms. Silver." Randy nods. "I thought you knew that. John and the others went to Ms. Silver's house." She starts.
"I know about that."
"Then I don't know what to say then." Sarah shrugs.
"Fine, Stacey and I gave Kourtney advice about her relationship." John just continues to get this conversation finished.
"Why would you two convey to her advice like that?"
"Well... John has pretended to have relations with Kourtney in favour of her leaving us alone." Stacey participate in the conversation now.
"John... you didn't." AJ afterwards speechless.
"I didn't I used something to appear like one. Please, can we not get into the details in front of the parents?" John request having the parents intrigue.
"Fine." AJ signals all of the to politely leave.
"How about some pie?" Mrs. Lee offers. All the parents agree awkwardly not wanting to hear their children's relationships.
"They are gone tell me." AJ intrigue on John's actions.
"Since I was the one that had no girlfriend that Kourtney knew about, she started flirting with me. I pretended to give in. I used the vibrator and her eyes were close to imagine, for her, that I was actually having sex with her." John explains his methods for that specific situation.
"How many times?" AJ crosses her arms noticing Sarah doesn't now know about this.
"Maybe three times." John not recalling how many times.
"Does Sarah know?'
It clicks in John's mind that this is affecting his girlfriend negatively. He looks at her as he shakes his head for the answers. "I am sorry, Sarah." He hugs her tight.
"I thought I was supposed to be worried about Ms. Silver, however my boyfriend was with a skank at school." She stands up.
"Sarah, don't-"
"I need time to process all of this." She looks to AJ.
"Upstairs, two doors in on the left." AJ directs her to her bedroom.
"Sarah." He sulks. "Look what you all did." He blames all of them before storming out.
AJ feels guilty because she started all of this. "I have him." Randy pats her back.
"Me too." Jack joins Randy.
"Let's talk to Sarah, explain to her that John isn't like that." Stacey suggest. The whole situation went bad in a hurry.
"Yah." She lets Stacey hold her as they head there.
All the parents, who are secretly listening, are concern with this whole situation.
"Hey man." Randy greets outside on the porch.
"Does Sarah hate me? AJ must be." He assumes sighing regretfully.
"No, no one hates you. You were a free man when the Kourtney situation happen. Maybe it wasn't the best way, however, it did prove a point to her." Randy focus on the positive sitting next to him.
"It might cost me Sarah; it is all my fault." John blames himself only.
"No, it is all our fault excluding AJ and Sarah. We shouldn't have let you proceed with it." Randy answers as Jack nods.
"Tricking someone was not the way it should be done." Jack includes.
"No, this is my grave I will dig myself out. I could have decline, but I didn't" John takes the full blame for his actions.
"John, I don't-"
"I am apologizing until I can't no more." John marches back in the house.
She assumes the girls are in AJ's room. He is about to knock confidently, but it vanishes quickly. He lays on the door sinking to the floor.
Meanwhile inside the bedroom.
"It is not like we were dating." Sarah, her head on AJ's shoulder, looks at the positive.
"That is true, but it doesn't accuse him for pretending to be." AJ responds knowing they know better.
"No, but I am a bit sad for Kourtney that she got played. I know how that feels. I don't think I'm mad at the relations, but from the games. Furthermore, will he be like that with me? I am just a trick." Her eyes are glassily from the tears forming.
"No, he is not like that and you know it." AJ reminds him defending John's character.
"Yah, I just wish I was his one and only." She sighs.
"You may not be in that department, but you are relationship wise. What John and Ms. Silver had, I hate to say this is just attraction. They don't know each other in the level that you two do." She tries to boost her confidence.
Sarah lifts her head. "You are right, but what if I am just like you two, you and Randy." Sarah fears. The feeling she has is strong that she won't be just friends with John.
AJ chuckles. "Sarah, we dated because we wanted an answer. I see you look at him as Nila and Matthew look towards each other."
"Stop!" Sarah lightly pushes her as she blushes.
"It is true tell her Stacey." AJ giggles.
"I haven't really met Nila or Matthew, although, I confirm that John does care for you a lot. Moreover, you did have sex with Kevin in the shower." Stacey includes.
"You did." AJ eyes open wide. "That is where you left after practice."
"I didn't I used John's trick of pretending. I didn't have sex with him then." Sarah tries to convince them.
"I guess John can't wish to be your one and only either." AJ and Stacey grin.
"Hey, you two tricked me." Sarah figures out their plan.
Stacey and AJ nod as they hi-five. "We did." Stacey agrees.
"How." This is what it must of have feel like for John and Randy.
"We will teach, well I will teach because AJ is forbidden too by John." Stacey offers with an eye roll from AJ.
"Great, when do I start?" Sarah very excited.
"After you make-up with John."
Sarah opens the door to have John fall over. "John." They all utter.
John stands up quickly. "Sarah, I want to explain. I want to-" Sarah cuts him off again with a kiss. John deepens it after a few moments.
"Oh my gosh, get a room." Randy teases approaching them with Jack.
"Yah." Jack joins Randy.
AJ and Stacey glare at both of them. "Sorry." They simultaneously apologize.
All the children arrive back down to have her parents there with crossed arms.
"Do you all have some information you want to inform us with?" Mr. Cena orders.
They all look at each others as they nod. They clasp their hands with each other as they head down the stairs. Their parents are proud of their strong friendship.
