Chapter 3
Monday morning rolled around all to quickly. Having my parents and younger siblings here in Rydell didn't help either. My father and brother Patrick had not said a word about Stephanie to my mother, which was a good thing.
I looked at my watch it was already six a clock in the morning school didn't start until at least eight a clock. I finished packing all I needed for my classes for the day. What I didn't have with me at the moment I could grab from my locker before classes started.
I walked through the back door and into the kitchen just on six thirty. I saw that my Aunt Edna was up as was my mother Millicent.
"Moring dear" Aunt Edna said as I walked into the kitchen. I only nodded and grabbed a bit to eat.
"Aren't you saying to eat with us Michael?" My mother asked. I stoped mid bite of the apple I was eating.
"Nah. I can't I've got to get to school" I said turning to head back out the door. After finishing up my quick breakfast. I pulled on my T-Birds jacket. It was unusually cold for a mid April-Spring morning here in sunny California.
I zipped up my jacket and pulled on my gloves so that my hands didn't freeze on this particularly cold morning. I pulled on my helmet and strapped it up before slipping on my goggles.
The wind blowing around me didn't help either. The lower part of might face felt like it had frostbite. It was just after seven when I pulled up at Rydell High. It was still bloody cold when I hopped off my motorcycle and went to stretch my legs.
There was hardly a living blood soul here yet. They didn't start arriving until maybe twenty passed seven. I sat up on the banister of the staircase that lead to the main doors of the school.
Not a minute later the doors to the school opened as Miss McGee stuck her head out and spotted me sitting there freezing me bloody bum off.
"Mr Carrington what earth are you doing out in this weather" Miss McGee asked not having spotted that I was wearing a T-Bird jacket.
"Besides getting frost bite, not a whole lot Miss McGee" I said getting down from the banister and went inside.
I grabbed the books I needed for the day. Just as I was walking towards my motorcycle. The Pink Ladies Studebaker came barrelling to a halt half on the curb and half off the curb.
No doubt it was Rhonda who was driving. I grabbed the books I didn't need for the day that I was going to dump in my locker.
The Pink Ladies all got out of the Studebaker all saying their Hail Marys for once again surviving Rhonda's driving. A familiar motorcycle was parked maybe a couple of hundred meters away from them.
There was no sign of its respective owner anywhere in sight. A late model Chevrolet Impala pulled alongside the curb and a group of people pilled out. Stephanie looked over at them.
The males in the group of people had a striking resemblance to her boyfriend. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen hide or hair of him at all in the ten minutes since they had arrived at Rydell High.
She could sense someone's eyes watching her from behind her. She turned her head slightly to the right and could see the arm of a leather jacket in her line of vision.
The weather had warmed up slightly just slightly. The other Pink Ladies had disappeared inside the school most likely to get books from their lockers. Steph was standing outside on her own.
I crossed my arm across my chest and was about to say something to announce my presence to her.
"How about that ride" I said wrapping my arms around her midsection from behind.
"You'll have to come up with a better line then that," Steph teased slightly. She turned in my arms and wrapped her arms around my neck. I pressed my lips to her.
Those that witnessed the kiss where shocked as hell. When the hell had this happened? When had the British Geek started dating Stephanie Zinone the leader of the Pink Ladies and had become a member of the T-Birds?
In Miss McGee's office Michael parents had been finishing up enrolling his three younger siblings whom where in high school. There was Patrick 16, Rose 15 and William (Billy) who was 13 the same age as Dolores.
Rose, Patrick and Billy where walking to their respective homeroom. Rumours where spreading around the school like a wildfire if gossip about a new member of some gang and said person was dating the female leader of the other gang.
Miss Mason's fourth period English class was drawing to a close. I was half attempting to read the pages that we had to read from the English textbook.
"Well there is some very good work here. And there is some very sloppy work here" Miss Mason said to no one in particular. I closed my textbook and looked over at Stephanie who was not even paying attention to the textbook or the class.
"Miss Zinone. I would like to see you about your Shakespeare essay" Miss Mason asked just as the bell rang for fifth period
I leaned against the railing of the staircase. I was waiting for Steph to come out of the classroom.
"I guess she didn't like your paper," I stated just as Steph was about to walk passed me.
"No kidding. I've got to write the whole thing over again" Stephanie replied sarcastically.
"Did you want some help?" I offered as we walked down the stairs.
"I don't know. Don't you have your own classes to worry about" She asked turning to look me.
"No. Anyway I don't have any classes after lunch anyway" I said just as we reached the bottom of the first flight of stairs
"Steph you coming" Paulette asked I started to walk passed her towards the bottom of second set of stairs.
"Yea. I'll meet you out front after then end of fifth period." Steph said her attention focussed on me. I nodded to Paulette and Rhonda as I walked off to my fifth period class.
An hour later we where sitting around a both at a diner on the Eastern Side of Rydell. Stephanie was busy looking at her reflection in the spoon.
"Yea know I normally don't do this bad in English. It's just I go other things on my mind these days" Steph said looking at her reflection in the spoon one more time before pacing it back on the table.
I only nodded and set down my cup of coke on the table and picked up the essay to read what was wrong with it exactly.
"What's with the scar on your forearm" Stephanie asked referring to one of the many scars I had.
"I got it when I was fifteen when I crashed my Uncle's 1951 Norton 500cc Model 7 Dominator" I said continuing to read the essay. I chuckled or rather laughed a little at one of explanations Steph had given on the essay.
"What" Steph asked mid bite as to what I was laughing about.
"Hamlet went totally nuts when he caught his mother doing it in the sack with his uncle" I read the particular bit, which had caught my attention.
"Not so great right"
"See you have the right idea. But you could've said something like 'Hamlet was tormented by his mother's incestuous relationship with his uncle" I explained.
"'Incestuous relationship'. Mason gonna flip when she read this" Steph half laughed at the first bit and grabbed her essay from me to write down what I had just suggested. "'Incestuous'. You're a really a smart guy you know that. You must think I'm some kind of dummy huh," Steph continued as wrote down what needed to be changed in the essay.
"Well its better to be liked for both my brain and looks rather then to be used and burned like I have'" I said taking another sip of my coke. Stephanie gave me a look of confusion.
"You've had a touch of heartbreak" She asked tyring not to pry.
"In a way. Sarah and I where together for a little over two years. We started going out when we where both fifteen. It ended when I found out that she had been seeing my supposed best mate behind my back for at least a year and a bit.
"Well she was the fool then to let you go wasn't she" Stephanie said I gave her a half smile before going back to rewriting the essay for Miss Mason.
