Chapter 33 (Confession and Serenity's Warning)
"Hey, Cara!" Johnny exclaimed as he ran up to Cara's locker. Cara turned around and smiled at Johnny.
"Yes, what is it?" Cara asked.
"Is Angie anywhere near here?"
"No…"
"Good."
"Johnny…now come-"
"Hold on, I just want to know if we can set up a special iCara today. I have something I want to tell Angie, and I want to tell the world." Cara raised her eyebrow and Johnny smiled. "I'm falling for her."
"Great! Johnny, I'm so happy for you, finally you're opening up to her!" Cara chuckled and crossed her arms. "It took you long enough. Yes, I'd be glad to do a special iCara tonight if it means you confessing your feelings to Angie. Isn't obvious to you that she likes you back?" Johnny looked downward and sighed, he hadn't actually figured that much out until he talked to Freddie.
"Well I-"
"Shh, Angie's coming!" Johnny turned around to see Angie walking to the locker. She had her arms crossed and was grumbling.
"Why does Mr. Howard still teach here? He's like the oldest teacher here!"
"He is the oldest," Johnny said with narrow eyes.
"Who asked you, dork?" Johnny rolled his eyes and sighed as Angie shrugged. "I think Mom said he taught here when she came to school, in fact she threw a football in his face! I thought he got fired, I guess not."
"Yeah, and you keep getting detentions…"
"I'm telling you, he's out to get me!" Johnny rolled his eyes and smirked. "Seriously, my mom came here and now I'm coming here, he's got a grudge against me."
"You think every teacher has a grudge against you," Johnny said with a sigh.
"How about that trombone obsessed teacher, Mrs. Slash? She has a grudge!"
"She's just mean," Cara said with a shrug. "There's really nothing she has against you." Just then the group saw Noah walk around the corner; he was thin and had brown shaggy hair.
"What do you want?" Angie asked with narrow eyes. Noah looked around nervously and sighed.
"There's something very important I have to tell you," Noah stated. "It's very important…"
"How important can it be? Frankly, I want nothing to do with you anymore, Noah." Angie crossed her arms and glared at him. "Or was Mom's invention not enough for you? Maybe you want another round." Angie lifted her fist and glared at Noah.
"Heh, no that's not it actually," Noah rubbed his neck nervously.
"Go away, Noah," Johnny said grimly. He glanced at Angie and Cara. "Girls, you may want to go to class now."
"Johnny, what are you going to do?" Cara asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Just go."
"Johnny…"
"Whatever, if the geek wants us to go, let's go," Angie said with a shrug. She and Cara walked off, both slightly nervous. Johnny then clutched Noah's shirt and slammed him against the wall.
"What the hell do you want here?" Johnny asked with a growl. "As if you hurting Angie by wanting Cara to give you a kiss wasn't enough, what vile plan do you have to screw with her again!" Noah gasped as Johnny clenched his fist. "This is for Angie!" Johnny slammed his fist into Noah's face. "You're a bastard for trying to cheat on her."
"You know, since you're not going to listen to reason, I could say 'like mother like daughter' goes into play really well!"
"Bastard!"
"I don't mean...what?"
"You think just because her mother had a boyfriend that tried to cheat on her that she's destined to have the same thing happen!"
"Actually I didn't mean like that…" Noah's voice lowered to a whisper and he glanced to the side. "Yeah, I'm dead…"
"Whatever, but I think I warned you to keep your pathetic self away from Angie after what you did to her."
"Yeah, but I'm saying-"
"Hey Noah," A voice said from behind. Johnny let go of Noah and they looked to see Gregory and Timmy standing near them. Gregory was scratching his arm and Timmy had his arms crossed, but underwear pulled up.
"Looks like I got another damn wedgie from Angie," Timmy stated. "I'm telling you that I'm getting really, really tired of it."
"Yeah, you're probably not the only one," Noah said quietly as he pressed his back against the wall and sat on the ground. Vixen walked through the halls with a sad look on her face, Gregory looked over at Vixen and she looked up in slight fear.
"Hey Vixen," Gregory said with a grin. Vixen sighed and looked over at Noah, she gasped and ran over.
"Noah!" Vixen exclaimed. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Vixen," Noah said with a smirk as he stood up and dusted himself off. "There is nothing going on here, nothing to see. Gregory, Timmy, you guys can go. Johnny was just a bit upset about how I treated Angie."
"Really, are you sure?" Timmy asked with a raised eyebrow. "It seemed a lot like you were trying to tell him something."
"Yeah, I was just going to insult him." Noah laughed lightly and walked off.
"Yeah, whatever…Hey Vixen, babe, you need to come with now." Vixen chuckled and followed Timmy and Gregory away.
"No clue what that was about," Johnny thought as he turned and walked toward his classroom. He was anxious to tell Angie his feelings about her, he knew exactly what he was going to say to her. He couldn't go on without her, he needed to tell her. "I love her."
-NEW SCENE-
Angie walked into the filming room and sighed, "Why are we doing this again?" Angie asked as she sat on the couch next to Cara.
"I think it's necessary," Cara said with a smile. "Actually Johnny wanted to do this." Angie blinked and stared at Cara, so she was doing things for Johnny now. Johnny started the camera up and Cara started speaking. "Hi, I'm Cara, in case you didn't know."
"Yeah, and I'm Angie." Angie sighed and crossed her arms over. She raised her eyebrow when Johnny walked in front of the camera.
"I'm the tech guy, Johnny, usually behind the camera." Johnny walked over to Angie and took her hand in his, she raised her eyebrows as he pulled her up and let her fall into his chest.
"What are you doing?" Angie asked as she placed her hands on Johnny's chest and pushed herself up slightly.
"I'm doing something I should have done a long time ago." Johnny wrapped his arms around Angie's neck and smirked. "Angie, I have to say the truth, I have fallen for you and only you." Angie's eyes widened and her breath stopped slightly. "You're the strongest girl I know, emotionally, mentally and physically. You're beautiful, you have a great heart and there's nothing about you that I don't like."
"Johnny, are you trying to say…I mean…what about Cara!"
"Sure, she's cool. She's just a friend though, I never really liked her more than just a friend though. Besides, she likes that Drake kid, and I think he may like her so there's no way he'd like you. I wouldn't let him like you anyway."
"Oh you wouldn't?"
"Of course not. Why would I do that? I love you more than anything, and I don't think he deserves someone as great as you."
"You don't know how long I wanted to hear this from you. Johnny, I love you, I adore you, there's no one greater than you. I mean, you're actually the only one who can put up with me."
"So you feel the same then." Johnny smirked and Angie smiled softly.
"I do."
"Then will you kiss me?"
"Well…" Angie smirked and Johnny grinned. "You did win the bet."
"I don't care about the bet." Johnny brought his lips to Angie's and tilted her back slightly. Her eyes fluttered shut and she took in the full amount of Johnny's kiss. Now she knew how her mother felt when Freddie kissed her for the first time, it was so special, the greatest feeling of all. He lifted his head and Angie stood with a slightly dazed look on her face. Johnny brushed some of Angie's hair back and smiled softly. "You are the most beautiful girl that I know."
-NEW SCENE-
"Idiot!" Landon exclaimed as he shot Noah with a gun. Gregory hit Noah in the back with a bat and Timmy punched him in the face.
"You were trying to spill the plans for Victor!" Timmy exclaimed as he punched Noah again.
"Why wouldn't I?" Noah asked. "I could care less about what you guys are trying to do! It's wrong, sick and wrong!"
"Like you care, it's all about revenge," Gregory stated. "Revenge and nothing more than that." Noah groaned as three bullets were fired into him.
"Damn it! Bastards!" Timmy punched Noah in the abdomen and he coughed up blood.
"Sorry about this," Landon said quietly. "But we'll have to kill you, you're a traitor. Just remember that this is what happens to traitors. Traitors die…"
"Though if someone like Vixen were to turn traitorous," Gregory started off with a wide grin on his face. Noah's eyes widened, he knew Vixen's heart more than anyone, she hated the plan more than he did but he knew she was being forced into this. He didn't want anything to happen to her. Landon pulled out a knife and shoved it into Noah's chest and tore it down to his abdomen and pulled it out.
"Ah!" Noah groaned and Gregory hit him once more with the bat. He was sure that he was going to die if this continued. "I…I have to fake my death." At that the three men punched him in the abdomen, Noah fell to his knees and fell to the ground. The men waited a few minutes and Noah never even moved.
"I think he's dead now," Timmy said quietly. "Yeah, he's dead."
"The only thing left to do is talk to Victor," Landon stated. "He got that one guy out of jail and in one week, we're going to the movies."
"Personally, Victor's too much of a pervert," Timmy stated with a sigh. "Just like Hector Puckett was, Victor Oswin is a creep."
"But for revenge, we're willing to work with him," Gregory said with a chuckle. "Angie calls me too many names just because I'm always itchy." The three walked off and Noah opened his eyes slowly.
"Damn it, Johnny hates me too much to listen," Noah said with a shaky voice. "Vixen…I promise, I won't allow you to fall into this! I have to get to Johnny somehow, I have to tell someone." Noah slowly stood up, as much as it pained him, there were other matters at stake. He stepped out of the alley and saw Cara down in the distance. "Cara…Cara! Cara, over here!" Cara stopped and looked back, her eyes grew wide when she saw him.
"Noah!" Cara's mouth dropped and she ran over to him. "Noah, what the hell happened to you?"
"I was beat up by three people. Listen, you need to warn Angie!"
"What?"
"Victor Oswin, he's broken Hector Puckett out of prison and together they intend to abduct Angie." Cara's eyes grew large and Noah continued. "Gregory, Timmy and Landon are with them, they were trying to kill me because I refused to help and I already knew their plan. Vixen is trapped in this too, and I don't want her to risk her life by betraying them. Please, warn Angie…"
"I will, but you need to get to a hospital!"
"Don't worry, I'm going."
-NEW SCENE-
"So Johnny's dad wants to take you and Johnny to the movies next week?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Is this okay?" Freddie asked while crossing his arms.
"I really would like to go actually," Angie said with a smile. "It wouldn't be a problem would it?" Freddie looked to Sam who had a concerned look on her face, she hated movie theaters and that was a very understandable thing. "I think it will be great fun."
"I trust Johnny," Sam said with a smile. "I don't know his father though, I've never met Mr. Oswin…"
"He will visit us before he takes us. He's picking me up so that'll be good."
"Okay, as long as Johnny will be there with you, I'm okay with it."
"I don't see anything wrong with it. What is his father's name again?"
"Uh…Victor or something, he never talks about his dad. His dad just got to be a better person and returned, probably to live a good life or something."
"Just have Mr. Oswin bring you back when the movie is over," Freddie stated. "I'm going to be in my study for a little bit." Freddie rubbed his chin and walked into the study.
"Okay, I'm going to play with Serenity for a while!" Angie ran to Serenity's room to play with her, Serenity smiled and hugged Angie.
"Hey Sis," Serenity said with a smile. "I saw iCara, you and Johnny got together?"
"Yes. I'm also going to the movies some time next week with him and his father, I think his father's name is Victor Oswin." Serenity's face changed to a look of extreme fear and she grabbed onto Angie.
"No! No, no! Go somewhere else with Johnny! Don't see Victor, don't see Victor!" Angie raised her eyebrow and slowly lifted Serenity's hands from her shirt.
"Now relax Serenity, it's just the movies." Angie rolled her eyes and sighed, but she did pay slight attention to her sister's warning. It was uncanny, but her sister had an ability to just know when something was going to go wrong.
Angie probably should listen to Serenity...What's this about Johnny's dad? Oh, and yes...Hector's going to show up in a couple of chapters. By that, I mean he'll show up in most likely the next.
