Annie walks downstairs to meet Brenda and Carrie who were waiting for her with a smile.
"What the…..", Carrie exclaims.
"Look who was telling us we overdressed", Brenda says and Annie laughs.
"I really thought so but then I realized I have never partied since I got here. You guys are the ones showing me the ropes"
"Good you realized", Carrie replies and stands up. "Let's go rock that party"
"Will is so going to die today", Brenda yells and Annie who was already downstairs slaps her shoulder.
They arrive at Bianca's house and meet the party already booming. Bianca welcomes them in with a smile.
"Hey ABC girls", she yells and Annie smiles.
"That name has really come to stay huh?", Carrie says and Bianca laughs.
"Where's Genny?"
"She couldn't make it", Annie replies.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry. I really wished that she would come"
Will and Carrie enter the kitchen and find Annie and Jake heavily kissing making them pause in shock. Will only snaps out of his daze when Jake begins taking off Annie's dress and he rushes to drag him off Annie. They begin fighting and Carrie rushes to Annie."Annie? Annie! How do you feel?""Why are there two Wills?", Annie stutters and Carrie slaps her face gently."Annie!", Carrie yells and Annie laughs."Why do you sound so worried? I'm fine….", Annie is saying when she slumps to the floor."Will!!", Carrie yells. Will pushes Jake off himself and rushes to Annie."Annie, Annie look at me", Will shouts shaking her body. Carrie gets water from the sink and pours it on Annie's face making her jerk awake. "Annie?", Will calls as her eyes open."This Will sounds real", Annie murmurs and he exhales."Beauty Queen,
Will walks up to Annie after their class ends with a smile and puts a hand to her forehead."How do you feel?""Apart from the memory loop, I don't feel any different than I would normally""That's good. You were really a handful yesterday""I heard. Sorry for the inconvenience", Annie replies bashfully."I don't mind, at all, especially as you owe me a reward""What reward?", she asks perking up."It's not necessarily a reward, it's something you asked for and I promised to do it, but it's like a reward to me""And what's that?""So you really don't remember? Anything at all?""After having punch and talking with Alison, no", she admits and he laughs."Telling you this will be so fun""What do you mean?""I will kiss you when you are sober", he
As the day continued, Annie started to remember everything from the previous night; how she kissed Jake imagining that it was Will, Will beating up Jake, Will's promise to her, little from the ride home but nothing about the kiss. If Carrie hadn't confirmed it, she would have begun doubting she actually kissed him. She wanted to remember the kiss so badly.By lunchtime, she was still avoiding Will and went to eat at Carrie's table. Will sees her over there and begins picking at his food already missing her company."Let's go get her back", Bob suggests and Will shakes his head negatively. "How about we go join her?""Let her be", Will replies dryly."What happened between you two?", Kenneth asks and Will sighs."I don't know, she has just been avoiding me after we talked early this morning. Is it because I told her about how she kissed me yesterday?", Will mutters and the guys whoop
"Put me down Will or I swear I'm going to fucking crush your balls when I get down!", Annie screams, hitting his back as he hurries through the hallway not wanting to be seen by anyone. "William Sylvester!""Just be quiet and let's get over with this""Freaking put me down!""I see you're not ready to do this calmly", he deduces."How do expect me to be calm when I'm suspended over your shoulder like a sack bag?", she fires back. "Let me go or else I'll scream 'help', louder than I am already shouting", she threatens and he chuckles."I'd like to see you try", he smirks, confident that she wasn't going to scream."Somebody...", she is starting to shriek in a louder tone but he quickly puts her down cutting off her scream and branches off into a classroom dragging her along. "Will, let go of me", she protests as he forces her in and shuts the door."Now let's talk", he declares and they s
The Le cinq guys are walking out of the boy's locker room talking together when Rick joins them."Did you hear what happened during cheerleading practice today?", Rick asks and they give him a quizzical look. "I guess not""What happened?", Dave asks."Annie had to be rushed to the hospital", Rick announces and Will's eyes dilate in shock."What happened?", he stutters."She fell down during cheerleading practice. You know how their stunts are""So where did….. is she okay right now? Damn! Wait a minute", Will stammers and starts searching his pockets. He brings out his phone and calls Carrie. "Carrie, where is Annie?""She is fine, don't worry"."Where are you?""We're in her house, the principal just dropped us here""I'm on my way""She'll be in school tom
Annie and her father are sitting inside their car with displeased expressions on their faces."Dad, you really shouldn't bother""What do you mean I shouldn't bother? That Bianca girl has been mean to you. What if you broke your leg and it wasn't a little sprain? You wouldn't be here""Fine, you can report her to the school authorities", she replies and opens the door beside her. "But you can be rest assured that I won't be telling you about what's going on in my life anymore", she adds and her father's eyes widen."Come on sweetie, don't say that""If you're going to overreact like this every time, it's not out of place""I'm not overreacting, that girl hurt you, intentionally. You want to let that go?""You and Mum always taught me to be forgiving""I also remember we taught you not to let anyone mess with you", Bruce argues
Annie is heading to the girls locker room with Brenda and Carrie."Annie, are you sure about this?", Brenda asks."Yes, I need to show Bianca that she can't hurt me so easily, maybe get a confession out of her", Annie replies and Carrie sighs."Fine, suit yourself. But be careful, I don't want your lover boy going crazy on me", Carrie says and Brenda laughs."I have no lover boy", Annie argues and Brenda and Carrie laugh."What is Will then?", Brenda asks."My friend""Friend? You guys are definitely not friends", Carrie queries."But we are not dating, and we aren't sleeping around either""I think he's in love with you", Brenda giggles and Annie glares at her."It's actually possible. I have never seen Will acting the way he does with you", Carrie argues."I don't want
Will walks to the sickbay with Rick and the other Le cinq guys. Brenda and Carrie had gone home already and told Will to send their greetings. Will enters the sickbay while the others wait outside. He comes out again almost immediately and gives Rick his keys."Open the car, she's stick sleeping. I don't want to wake her", he says and goes back in."Urgh… I really wanted to see her", Bob complains and they all head outside. Rick opens the car while the rest guys go home. Will comes out after a while and puts Annie in the passenger seat."You should have put her in the back seat", Rick says and Will who was strapping her seatbelt turns."We would have an accident if I tried that", Will replies and adjusts the seat to give Annie a better sleeping position. He shuts the door when he is through and heads to the driver's seat.Rick was confused by Will's reply but soon realizes wha
Will finally realizes Bianca's intent as Annie puts up her hand. She wanted to make Annie angry with him. Why was she such a sneaky bitch, he complains internally. "Annie, I really didn't", he tries to explain but she puts a finger to his lips. "I told you to shut up, didn't I? I know what she did. I saw her jump on you immediately we came out. She is trying to make me jealous, I know" "So you don't have a problem with that?" "I would if we were dating, but not with you, with her actually. But since we aren't dating…..", she trails off and shrugs. "So you're okay with it because you know that I won't cheat on you?", he asks. "If you mess around with Bianca, it doesn't mean you're cheating on me. We're not dating", she replies and his countenance sinks. "What can I do to make you trust me?" "It'll take a lot of time Will", she replies and he exhales. "Hey Carrie", Will says after a brief silence. "So you finally notice me now huh?", she replies. "Well it
The cheerleaders are standing in the field two days later to vote for their new head-cheerleader. The previous day's nominations had declared Annie, Bianca, Carrie and a grade ten student named Brittany the final candidates. While Bianca viewed the election as a competition and had been walking around all day asking people to vote for her, Annie and Carrie felt totally unbothered. "Okay I want Annie, Bianca, Carrie and Brittany to stand in a straight horizontal line", their coach orders and they act accordingly. "Now all those voting for them should just stand behind them", she commands and everyone starts choosing places. When they are done, Maddie and other grade twelve students who were on the team count the number of people who stood behind each contestant. Grade twelve students were not allowed to vote, they could only participate in nomination. "Okay. At the end of this voting exercise,I am pleased to announce the results. Brittany has 39, Carrie has 41, Annie has 50 an
Will is turning about in his bed at night. He previously didn't think he would be so affected if Annie rejected his love but now that she did….. he couldn't sleep, he couldn't even pick up his phone without wanting to re-read the message she sent to him just to check if it was real. All his music suddenly seemed annoying to him but he was bored as hell. "Argh…. why did I fall in love in the first place?", he complains and curses. He had already drank three bottles of beer but suddenly lost interest in getting drunk and stopped. He was trying to keep in how hurt he felt but it was consuming him on the inside. He is still tossing about in his bed when his phone rings. He picks it and it was Annie. He tries to ignore it like he did the previous night but she seemed to be more persistent today. He switches off his phone and tosses his pillow away exasperatedly. He groans and continues tossing around in his bed. He is finally about to sleep off when he hears the doorbell. He frowns
Annie walks into school hurriedly with Brenda and Carrie. Annie had woken up late making them late and now they only had a few minutes left till their class would begin. They all rush to their lockers and grab their books before heading to class. Fortunately, they get in just before the teacher enters. "Good morning students", the teacher greets and the students reply half-heartedly while some do not reply at all. Only a few students replied eagerly which was usually Annie's clique but not today. Upon entering the class, she had looked around for Will and found him bowing his head on his desk. Maybe he was really sick like she had previously assumed. She turns to look at him again and catches him staring. She smiles on catching him and he turns away. She felt her countenance sink as he turned away. Will didn't usually turn away when she caught him staring even before he confessed his feelings. He would always wink at her or chuckle and after confessing his feelings, he could ev
The ABC girls walk out of school together heading to the school bus. The cheerleaders were having their final competition in Boston. They enter the bus and head to the backseat together. "Hannah, come sit here with Bianca", their coach orders and Annie frowns. "I'm serious", she adds on seeing she was reluctant. Annie joins Bianca in her seat which was almost at the front of the bus. "Get in, I don't want to seat by the window", Bianca snarls and Annie rolls her eyes. She had already wanted to seat by the window so was glad Bianca didn't like that spot. She sits by the window and sets down her bag. The bus had just started the journey when Annie's phone beeps. She checks it and sees it was a message on WeChat from Will. "Just saw the bus leaving, good luck with the competition", he texted. "Shouldn't you be in class?", she texts back. "I'm in class", he replies. "And you're texting me?" "I miss you already", he texts and she smiles. Bianca peers into her phone and see
Will and Annie sit beside each other inside the dark cupboard. "Why didn't you agree with me? We could have skipped this", Annie complains. "I wanted a few minutes with you, it's been almost a week since we talked", he replies and she is quiet. "I don't know what it'll take to make you accept my feelings" "It's not my fault that I don't trust you" "So you actually believe that I love you?" "I don't know", she admits just as he draws closer to her. "Hey we're already tight enough, why are you drawing even closer?" "Can't you tell?" "Tell that?" "I'm about to kiss you" "No way I'm letting you show off my underwear for a stupid game", she says but he was already straddling her before she finished. "Will, stop", she stutters. "Just let me Annie, for tonight, I won't talk of it after tonight", he pleads then kisses her. She refuses to open up so he sucks on her bottom lip begging for entrance. He breaks the kiss when she doesn't still kiss him back and is
"Football meeting at the locker room, right now", Kenneth tells Will and Rick as they enter school, making them begin heading to the locker room. As they open the door, they are glitter bombed and the football guys laugh at Will's shocked expression. "Time to showcase our newest trophy", someone yells and Will grins. He walks to the center of the gathering where the trophy they earned the previous night stood. He lifts the trophy and they begin to cheer as he takes it to the transparent glass cabinet where they stored their trophies. He keeps it inside and the cheers heighten. He shuts the cabinet and turns around. "Who just won the championship?", Will yells. "The Brooklyn Giants!!!", everyone yells in reply. "I said who just won the championship?", he yells again and they give the same reply in a louder tone. "Damn guys, I'm so happy. I don't even know what to say" "Say you'll attend the party at my house", a grade twelve student, Travis says walking towards Will. "N
Will trudges into his home and collapses into a cushion, shutting his eyes for some seconds before standing up. He walks towards the refrigerator in the dinning area to bring out a beer. He sits on one of the dinning chairs and opens the beer, taking several sips before putting the beer down.He still couldn't believe what happened, it was all a spur of the moment. He really thought that he was still yet to accept that he was truly in love with Annie, but he found himself telling her he loved her in the next moment.He hated the idea of being in love because he felt it was no fun, full of responsibilities and getting hurt was inevitable once you were in love but he had slowly come to realize that love could be fun after Annie had already stolen his heart.He was right about the hurt though, the rejection hurt like hell. He couldn't remember when last he wanted to get drunk but now he found himself wanting to get drunk because
"What is going on with you and Will?", Annie hears as she is keeping her books in her locker and turns. It was Jake. "I don't believe we are close enough for you to ask me such question", she replies and he forces her locker shut to get her attention. "Maybe I messed up. I shouldn't have worked with Bianca, maybe I shouldn't want you back after what I did. But, it happened already", he says with a shrug. "I'm not saying what I did was right, but what I'm saying is that I'm sorry. We can just be friends. I still love you though but I like being your friend better than this position we're in" "Jake please, I don't have the energy for this" "I know you don't, I can see that your disagreement with Will is draining your energy, and Will's too" "Don't get me started with Will, I already feel guilty enough" "What happened?" "We kissed. I've been
