K guys, a few announcments. I have a new WWE fic that I'm gonna start. In order to do this I have to change some things. This new story and Minecraft: Dimensions are gonna be my main projects. Crash Bandicoot: Highschool and This Is WWE! are going to be a collaborative project. I don't know who I'm gonna work with, so if you're interested, send me a PM. So without further ado, here is chapter 5 of Crash Bandicoot: Highschool.
Crash's POV
Crash slowly approached the school, not looking forward to what lay ahead. Today was the day he was going to break up with Tawna. It was 6:00 A.M. Crash had texted Tawna, asking her to meet him in the foyer outside the gym since she would already be there for morning practice.
Crash approached the entry to the school foyer. He looked around, spotting Tawna in a corner waiting for him. She ran up to him, kissing him. This made Crash increasingly nervous.
"Crash, there is something I need to tell you," Tawna started. "Lately, I realize I haven't been the best girlfriend. Actually, I haven't even been a good girlfriend. I want to apologize and I want to tell you that from now on things are gonna be like they used to be. Like when we first started dating."
Crashed swallowed nervously. "Uhh...well you see...here's the thing. I don't think things will ever go back to the way they used to be. Tawna, I think we need to break up."
Tawna's POV
Tawna felt as though her heart was breaking into a thousand pieces. "What? But I though maybe we could talk about these. We could make things better, Crash. I'm willing to apologize and start over."
Crash sighed. "Tawna, I think that ship sailed a long time ago. I'm sorry but I think it's time for us to breakup.
Tears slowly started flowing down Tawna's face."This is because of Pasadena, isn't it? You're breaking up with me because of her. She stole you from me."
"Pasadena is my friend. She had nothing to do with this. I don't even understand where you got the idea that Pasadena and I-," Crash was interrupted.
"Oh, don't bullshit me. I know what's going on between you two. She's trying to steal you from me. I can't let that happen. I can't believe you would throw away a six year relationship because of her. Crash, I love you," Tawna said, the tears coming down even more now.
"Tawna, I didn't make this descision easily. Please don't make it harder than it has to be. I've been trying to get back to where we were for years. It's too late now. You were too late," Crash said, holding back tears of his own.
Crash's POV
Crash started walking away, his head held low. Tawna screamed after him to come back and that they could work this out. Crash stopped for a second. But then he kept walking, hoping he had made the right desicion.
Coco's POV (The Night Before)
Coco came home in passed Crash in the kitchen. He looked up at her but didn't say anything. She hurried upstairs to her room, the tears still steaming down her face. She entered her room, looking around.
Coco's room was entirely pink as that was her favorite color. She had a walk-in closet in one corner. Next to the closet was her bed and opposite that sat a dresser. A TV sat on top of the dresser. A big mirror sat to the left of the door. Opposite the door was a desk with a computer sitting on it.
Coco plopped down on her bed, still crying over her terrible mistake. The truth was that she had been in love with Spyro for a long time. But her fear of rejection had kept her from revealing her feelings. At the same time she had been afraid that if they did start dating and broke up that it might ruin their friendship. But now their chances of ever having a relationship were ruined and Coco knew it was her fault.
Spyro's POV (The Present)
Spyro entered the school, his head held low. It was 7:45. Class would be starting in five minutes. Spyro looked around, hoping to avoid Coco as much as possible. He didn't see her anywhere in the foyer, so he continued on. He turned the corner and nearly ran into her. The person he least wanted to see right now.
Spyro mentally face palmed himself, "Uhh...hey, I guess." He kept walking past her.
Coco grabbed his arm, stopping him," Spyro, don't-."
"Don't try to spare my feelings. Look, I get it. You don't like me back. It's fine. I'll just leave you alone from now on," Spyro said, his face falling.
"Spyro, I made a mistake. I do like you. A lot," Coco said.
Spyro looked at her angrily. "How am I supposed to trust you now? How do I know that you're not just trying to spare my feeling-."
All of a sudden Coco kissed Spyro. "That's how you'll know. I wouldn't have kissed you if I didn't love you, Spyro."
Pasadena's POV
Pasadena walked down the hallway, having finished morning cheer practice. As she approached the main hallway she saw Crash. He was walking towards her. He seemed to be sad and didn't seem to notice her yet.
"Crash, are you okay," she asked.
Crash looked up at her. "Uhmm...no, not really," he said. At her confused expression he explained, "I broke up with Tawna."
"What. Are you crazy? She's going to blame me for this...uhh, I mean...uhmm...why," Pasadena corrected her mistake.
"Why would she blame you," Crash asked, feigning confusion.
"Uhh...well she sort of thinks I like you. She may have threatened to kick me off the cheer team if she saw me with you," Pasadena explained.
"Well," Crash asked, "do you like me?"
Pasadena hesitated. Then with a sigh she answered, "Well yeah I do. But I can't give up cheer."
"Do you want me to let you in on one of Tawna's secrets," Crash asked. "She can't really kick people off the team. Only the coach can do that."
"Are you serious," Pasadena asked.
Crash nodded. "So, with that in mind, Pasadena will you will my girlfriend."
Pasadena smiled and nodded. She had long awaited this day, expecting it to never come because of Tawna. But now it was here and Pasadena felt like the happiest girl in the world.
Crash's POV (A Little While Later)
Crash had just walked Pasadena to her first class. Now he was walking to his his first class, smiling. For the first time in a long time, he was happy. As he was walking he got a text:
hey dude. i back from canada. be back at school tomorrow. we gonna hang?-cc
It was from Carbon (Carbon Crash), Crash's best friend since looked a lot like Crash. When they were kids, people would always ask if they were related. They weren't but Crash and Carbon always got a kick out of saying they were.
Carbon had been on a field trip to Canada for the last two weeks. It had been much too expensive for Crash, so he had opted out along with most of the remaining seniors. Unfortunately Crash's nemesis, Luke (Evil Crash), had also been on the trip and would now be returning.
Crash walked into his math class. The first thing Crash noticed was that the teacher, Nitros Oxide, wasn't in the class. That was strange because Crash was five minutes late. The second thing he noticed was that three of his peers, Dingodile, Krunk, and Nash, were beating up Norm, the school nerd.
Dingodile was the school bully. He picked on everyone and barely anybody did anything about it. Krunk and Nash were Dingodile's best and only friends. They helped him with his wicked deeds. Norm was the biggest nerd in the school. He was in senior math despite only being a sophomore.
Dingodile had tipped Norm's desk over and broken it over his back. Now he and his friends were taking turns kicking him in the ribs.
"Dingodile, leave him alone," Crash said. Nobody was surprised to have Crash standing up to Dingodile. Crash was the only person in the school who stood up to him on a regular basis.
Dingodile had, after a couple months back in freshman year, learned not to fight Crash. So Dingodile and his goons backed off as Crash helped Norm to his feet. He had a fellow student escort Norm to the nurse.
Dingodile yelled after them, "One of these days Crash won't be her to protect you."
Crash grabbed Dingodile by the neck and shoved himinto the wall. "If you ever touch him or anybody else again, I'll personally send you to the nurse," Crash said.
The class pitched in and cleaned up the room. They switched the broken desk for a new one from and empty room nearby. They had just finished when Nitros entered the room. The teacher didn't notice anything and class proceeded as normally.
So, I brought in some characters I promised in the beginning but never found time to bring in. I'll be bringing back Tawna's two friends as well at some point. They haven't played a big role here, but they will in the sequel which I've started planning out. So thanks everyone, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I think it's the best one so far.
