Kelso's Story Plus Some Chapter 3
****************************************
Kelso's POV
Yes, School is finally out. Only one more day left,and then its the
weekend. Thank God. I need to catch up on my beauty rest. It's
not easy being man pretty. Oh, speaking of man pretty,I need to
get a hair cut soon. Where is Hyde? He's giving me a ride home
today. And he's normally in his car, with Jackie, waiting to yell
at
me for taking a long time. Well now I can yell at him. I sit on the
front of his car. I see him walking out of the school.
"Hey Hyde!" I yell, "What took you so long? I've
been waiting
forever."
"Shut up Kelso. We can't leave yet anyway. Jackie is doing
something. So we have to wait."
"Aw man. I want to go home. Charlie's Angels are having a
marathon, starting at 5!"
"Kelso. It's not even 3 yet. We'll be home by 5.
Don't get your
panties in a twist."
"I do not wear panties, Hyde."
"Whatever man."
"What is Jackie doing?"
Hyde shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. She just said
give
her 15 minutes."
"Why?"
"KELSO MAN! I don't know."
"Well gees Hyde, you don't have to get mad." Damn,
someones
mr. grouchy today.
"Look, I'm not mad. I'm irritated by you ."
"What did I do?"
"You keep asking questions."
"Fine. I'll shut up then." I cross my arms and look away
from
him. I hear him let out a laugh, and get in the car. He honks the
horn.
"DAMN HYDE!" I screech, jumping off the car. I stalk
towards to
passenger side, and get in.
"Where's Eric? Didn't he need a ride today?" Hyde
asked me.
I shrug my shoulders and lean up to put on the radio. Lynyrd
Skynard is on. The song that Jackie and I danced to at Junior
Prom.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
She looked so beautiful that night. When I saw her enter the
room with Hyde, my heart dropped. I thought they were together,
not just at the dance together, but together together. My fists
clenched together and I was ready to go over to Hyde and punch
him out. But I couldn't move for some reason. So I just stared at
them. And...sometimes, when Jackie thought I wasn't looking,
she looked like she was genuinely having a good time. but then
she saw me and she frowned and got this sad look on her face
cause I mean, she was still "in love" with me and all. But
Jackie
should have seen what was right in front of her. Hyde. I know
she was missing me and all and was down about that, but he
would say stuff to her and she'd laugh. And then they'd
dance,
and he didn't look like he was about to puke! I think Hyde always
had a thing for Jackie. He's reason for taking her was because
she cried. But Jackie told me she was FAKE crying, so therefore
she wasn't really crying...so...that meant that Hyde took Jackie
just to take her...and since when did Hyde care about Jackie
crying or not? He took her because he cared about her. And I
bet if Jackie was over me, they would have gotten together
afterwards...you know, as a couple.
I looked over at Hyde during the song, and he shifted in his seat,
he kinda looked uncomfortable. Does he remember this song? I
mean, they danced to it too.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Sing it Lynyrd. Man, its like he knows me or something. That
song was like a clue to what was going to come for me and
Jackie. I couldn't change! I was always the same Kelso that
made her cry, that made her mad,that cheated on her. I never
changed for her. And I should have. I wasn't good for Jackie.
Hyde was. Hyde was there for her when I wasn't. Why didn't
Jackie just be with him? Like after their date or whatever on
Veterans Days.
What ever happened after that? Why did the whole Jackie Hyde
thing stop? Why did she get back together with me? What
happened on the date?
"Hyde."
"What?"
"What happened on that date with you and Jackie."
"Yesterday? Oh I took her to the movies."
"No, on Veterans Day."
Hydes head quickly turned to look at me, "Why do you want to
know?"
"Because I was thinking and I never found out what happened
between you and Jackie, and why you two didn't go out
afterwards..."
"Because we felt nothing."
"Huh?"
"Look. We kissed. She said she didn't feel anything. So
therefore, we felt nothing and that ended it back then."
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Well you said Jackie didn't feel anything."
"Kelso, shut up. ok? This is a stupid topic. It's all in the
past, and
it doesn't matter because Jackie and I are together now."
"OH! OH! I KNOW! you felt something! didn't you! but you
told her
you didn't because she said she didn't!!"
"If I tell you will you shut up?"
I nodded eagerly.
"Yes,ok? I did feel something for her then."
"And you never stopped, didn't you!"
"You said you'd shut up."
"I lied. You've had a thing for Jackie longer than this
summer,haven't you?"
Hyde let out a sigh, "Why do you care man?"
"Because it is interesting. Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"You guys got back together."
"So?"
"So Kelso. She was all hooked on you. She didn't care about
me anymore like that,ok? She had that stupid little crush on me
and then she felt nothing and so she got back with you."
"But if you would have told her then-"
"It doesn't matter anymore man! We're together now and
thats
all that matters. Will you shut up now?"
I smile. Victory. I got something out of Hyde that he never told
anyone. I should tell Jackie! I mean, she can know,right? Who
cares if Hyde kicks my ass. I'm not scared of him.
Well yeah, I am. But oh well. I think I should tell Jackie, so I will.
*******************
Hydes POV
Where the hell is Jackie. She better get here soon, I don't want
Kelso to ask anymore stupid questions. I didn't want to tell him
about that date because...I never told anyone about it and I
didn't
plan on it either. See the truth to the matter is.. I did feel
something. And I didn't understand how I could, when she felt
nothing. She was right, the kiss was hot. I really wanted to
continue it too, I was about to too,but then I could feel her lips
move, and then I had to do the same, or else...ok,it was a pride
issue,ok? But if she was going to say she felt something, I
would have said something too. And I was about too! I paused,
after saying no, but then I thought about it and if she didn't
feel
anything,then what was the point? so I said no again. That
night, after dropping her off, I just drove around,for hours.
Thinking about her, thinking about that kiss, and how she felt
nothing.
It drove me crazy,i couldn't understand. I had always wanted
to
kiss her...because i mean, I always felt something for her,you
know? Because I hated her so much that I kinda liked her. Ok,
hated is more like "hated" because I never truly hated her.
And
when she was harassing me about liking me and stuff,i was
loving it man. But i had to act tough and mean. That was how I
was. And she still continued to like me. She tried making me
jealous with that Chip guy. Man, whenever I see him in the
hallway, I just want to beat him up some more. When I saw
them at the Formans barbecue, I was so jealous. And when he
called her a bitch, I had had enough of that jackass so of course
I had to punch him out.
I thought for sure that would have blown my cover of my thing for
Jackie, but I guess only Jackie and Ms. Forman saw it. But
then...Jackie just...blew it all off after the date. So I guess my
cover wasn't completely blown yet. No one asked me about
what happened on the date...well Fez was interested,but he just
wanted to know if we did it or not. If Kelso tells Jackie anything I
said, I will kick his ass to China. I don't want her to get mad
and
be all like, "Steven, why didn't you tell me!" She
doesn't need to
know about the past, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
when I
truly started liking her, as long as she knows that I love her now.
Yea, I said it. I love her. Or I think I do. I don't know, but I
know I'm
about to know for sure. I don't really know what love is suppose
to feel like, so I just compare it to couples I know. Like Eric and
Donna, Mr and Mrs. Forman, and other random couples who are
in love. Fez and Nina don't count, not yet at least.
Eric rambles on and on about Donna and how he loves her, so I
took some mental notes and I thought about Jackie, and the
reasons fit. Then I observed Mr. and Mrs. Forman and how they
act and stuff, and I can see me and Jackie in them. Then I see
people together, and I assume they are in love, and I can see
Jackie and me in them. So I'm pretty sure that whatever me and
Jackie have is love.
Jesus, I need to stop reading those damn Cosmo magazines of
Jackie. I swear. She's turning me soft.
`Thank GOD' I see Jackie and Eric coming out of the front
doors
and heading towards my car.
"Get in the back Kelso." Jackie demanded when she opened the
door.
"No. I was here first."
She looks at me and pouts, "Steven..."
"Back Kelso, Now." I glare at Kelso.
"Chick over friend? Damn Hyde!" he says, moving to the back.
Eric slid in next to him.
"Hey Forman."
"Hey Hyde. Jackie, tell them."
I look over at Jackie and she is smiling ear from ear.
"I tried out for the school play!" She said giddily.
I nod my head.
"And?" Eric said.
"And they were all like "Wow,that was really good, why
didn't you
try out for any of the other plays?" and I was like
"Cheerleading
took up most of my time, but now that I quit."
"You quit?" I asked,shocked. I didn't know that.
"Yup. For the play!"
"But what if you don't make the play?"
"Steven,would you let me finish my story?" She flips her
hair, "As
I was saying,I quit for the play. They said, "Well Good. because
we already want you." ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!!" She started
to hop
up and down in the seat.
"Yeah Jackie." I lean over and give her a quick kiss, cause
you
know, Forman and Kelso are in the back seat.
"So I'm so excited. We're doing..."
She paused and looked at us all
"WEST SIDE STORY!" She squealed.
"Fez should have tried out." Kelso said.
"Oh he did. He's still in there."
"Does he need a ride?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe? But anyway, guess who I am!"
Kelso and I both sigh, "Maria."
"I got to see her audition for it."Eric said.
I raise my eyebrow, "I've never heard you sing."
"Well, I'm really nervous about it and all-"
"But you're going to have to do it in front of an audience,
so why
don't you sing for me?"
Jackie blushed, "No!"
"Why not?"
"Because...I don't want too. You can't just say sing,
and expect
me to sing."
"Oh come on Jackie. You cant be bad if you got the lead
role."
"Steven..."
Just then Fez came up to the door, banging on the window.
"Guess what Everyone! I am Bernardo!"
"Oh my god Fez! We're brother and sister!" Jackie
exclaimed.
Fez got in and Jackie moved over next to me. I can smell the
vanilla.
"This is going to be so great Fez." Then they started
talking
about the play. The rest of us roll ours eyes, and I start the car.
I'm kind of hurt that she doesn't want to sing in front of
me, but I
won't push her. it doesn't really matter,i just want to hear
her
sing.
******************************
Jackie's POV
I keep glancing over at Steven. We're at my house. In my room,
and we're not really talking. Instead, we're doing homework.
I
thought he'd at least be a little more... i don't know
enthusiastic
about me getting the lead role. Is he mad that I won't sing?
Nah,
that would be stupid! Then why isn't he talking? Should I tell
him who got the other lead guy role? That I have to kiss...
I close my book, and stand up from my desk. I walk over to the
bed, where he is laying down reading his book. He's laying
stomach down, so I crawl up onto the bed and straddle his back.
"Whatcha reading?"
"Romeo and Juliet." He throws it down. He semi rolls over,
but
pulls me down so that I am now laying down and he is on top of
me. He leans down and kisses me. I start to run my fingers
through his hair, and kiss him back. It's starting to get
heated.
Really heated. I can feel the bulge in his pants. Ooh,I can get evil
now. I purposely arch my back,and rubbed against him, making
him groan. I giggle a little.
"Ooh, your evil,you know that?" He whispers huskily in my
ear.
"Mm hmm." I smirk. He starts to kiss my neck. God,I want him
so badly right now. I wonder why we are waiting, but it just feels
natural to wait. Like we're waiting for a reason. We're
waiting for
the perfect time.
I can feel his fingers playing with the button of my jeans. I
removed my hands,which were still in his hair, and gently
grabbed hold of his hands, bringing his fingers to a halt.
"Steven." I tried to say between kisses, "We. can't.
do. that. now."
Steven ignored it and kept on kissing me. But this time he just
put his hands behind me,on my back instead of near my jeans.
This happened a lot. We'd get carried away, and instead of just
breaking the make-out session, he just pretended it never
happened. I knew it was starting to upset him. He wasn't use to
waiting this long. I wasn't either, but I didn't want sex to
come
between us. When the time was right, we'd both know it. I just
hope he doesn't get angry with me or anything, because if he
does, I'll just have to kick his ass. I smile at that comment,
kick
his ass? me? a tiny little brunette? well...I could take him down. I
could. If he was mad at me for not having sex, yeah, I'd take
him
down.
Oh shit! I have to talk to him about Chip. Yeah, Chip got the lead
role, Tony. And if I don't tell Steven myself, he's going to
hear it
from someone else and because it's Chip and the last time he
and Chip interacted, Chip left crying like a baby. So I tug at
Steven's lip. I sit up, pushing him up. I sit cross-legged on
the
bed, he just stares at me.
"Why'd we stop?" He asked, confused.
"Chiphastheleadroleintheplay" I say quickly.
"Huh? Ok" He shook his head, "I couldn't make out a
single
word in that."
I take a deep breath, "Chip. has. the. lead. role. in. the.
play."
Steven's turns into a firm line.
"Ok? Your cool with that,right? I mean, you guys don't have
any
hard feelings,right?" I asked, full of hope that he's cool
with it.
"That's cool. Whatever." He replies, trying to be Zen.
"Steven! Zen doesn't fit this! I asked you a question."
"It's cool. I don't care. You don't have to kiss
him or anything,
right?"
"Um, well, only...once?"
"Once. Only once?"
I roll my eyes, "Steven. Weren't you paying attention when
we
watched it?"
"Jackie! We HARDLY watched any of it. The only part you made
me watch was when those peurtoricans were dancing or
whatever."
"Steven,look, we kiss maybe once or twice. that's it. you
just
have to remember that it's all acting. not real, acting."
"Ok. Whatever."
"Besides." I get up on my knees and put my hands on his
knees, "The only person I want to kiss is you. You know that.
No
one can kiss as good as you can."
I can see his cheeks turn red, "Shut your pie hole Jackie."
I smile and pounce on him, sending him backwards. I furiously
start to kiss him, and we once again have another make out
session.
*************************
Kelso's POV
It's 7 pm. And I'm on my 5th episode of Charlie's Angel.
Fez and
I are in Eric's basement. Donna and Eric are off
"studying" at
Donna's. Hyde came back from Jackie's, and is in his room.
"Oh Farrah. Kick that bad guy." Fez said, dreamily.
"Yeah, HIGH kick that bad guy. Show us a little panties." I
said.
The door opens, and in walks Jackie.
"Where's Steven?" She asks.
"In his room." I look away from the TV. Remembering that I
had
to tell her about what Hyde had said, I had to stop her.
"Jackie, come watch Charlie's Angels with us." Fez said.
That
could work to stopping her.
"Yeah, Hyde's doing his homework. And if you distract him,
then
he will do bad, and then he will get a bad grade and then fail and
not graduate" I said, that'll stop her,right?
She looks at me funny, but walks over and sits in Hyde's chair.
"Is this the marathon thing?" she asks, looking at the tv.
"Oh yes. Until 5 to 10. It's a freakin miracle." Fez
says,
spreading his arms apart and looking up at the ceiling.
"Fez. Mrs. Forman has candy upstairs. Go bring it down." I
said,
trying to get him away so I can talk to Jackie alone.
"Candy!" Fez shots up from the couch, "Farrah, I will
return. Don't
do any high kicks without me" he shouts as he sprints up the
stairs.
"So Jackie."
"So...Kelso."
"I finally heard about the date you and Hyde had on Veterans
day."
"You did?! From who?"
"Hyde."
"What did he say?"
"Oh nothing...just that you two kissed...you didn't feel
anything....he felt something...it ended your little phase with him
for that time."
"Wait, wait wait. He felt something! HE felt something? HE
DIDN'T TELL ME THAT!"
I shake my head, "What a shame. Are you mad at him?"
"NO!" she screeches, "But he could have told me! Wait,
why did
he tell you that?"
"Because Jackie, I asked him. Obviously, you didn't."
"Shut up Kelso. I did and he said he didn't!"
"Jackie Jackie Jackie. Men have what we call pride. And since
you said you felt nothing, Hyde had to say that."
"Screw pride. If he told me that, I would have kissed him again
and then said I felt something too! I was to scared that he
didn't
feel like something so I said I didn't feel something first to
protect me from getting hurt by him because I thought he didn't
feel anything."
I'm trying to get that all through my head, "Um...riiiight.
So you
did feel something for him?"
"Yes! you moron, yes!"
"Then why did you get back together with me and not try and get
with him?"
"Because Michael. You made me stupid and I thought I loved
you."
"Wait! I made you stupid! Whatever! You made me stupid!"
"Michael, you're already stupid."
"Whatever, your stupid because you lied to Hyde."
"Hyde lied to me. WAIT, this doesn't matter. It's all in
the past.
Thats a what could have been, and we're together now so it
doesn't matter. Because we are together now."
"Ok, you just said that twice."
Jackie reached over and punched me in the arm, "Shut up."
"Ow Jackie! That hurt!" I yell, stroking my arm. Fez runs
down the
stairs.
"Did she do anything?"
"She punched me in the arm."
"Not her! HER!" Fez points to the tv.
"Oh Farrah? No Fez. She didn't."
"Oh good. Thank the lord jesus christ." Then he started to
eat
his candy.
"Im going to go see my boyfriend." Jackie said, getting up
and
walking to Hyde's room.
Well...that went...ok. I'm not trying to get them mad at each
other, im just stirring up things a bit, you know? I know they wont
break up or anything, it's just....Ah hell, i don't know. I
felt like
telling Jackie.
"Oh." Fez swallowed the candy in his mouth, "I forgot to
tell you.
Chip got the lead in the play."
"Chip the dude that Hyde punched out over Jackie?"
Fez nodded, "Yes. That Chip. And they have to kiss too! Ooh but
that bastard kills me."
"He does?"
"Yes."
"Dude,that sucks. We can get Hyde to punch him for that and for
kissing Jackie."
"Oh yes! That would be great!"
Man, I can't WAIT for the play now. Seeing Hyde react to Jackie
kissing Chip! DAMN, that's good entertainment.
***************************
Hyde's POV
I look up and see Jackie enter my room.
"Hey." I said, getting up to go and give her a kiss. But
she walks
past me and sits on my bed.
"Oook. What's wrong?"
"Steven, Michael told me."
"Told you what?"
"About the whole veterans day thing."
"Oh no. I'm going to kick his ass."
"No Steven. It doesn't matter. Well it does...why didn't
you tell
me?"
"Jackie,does it matter?" I sigh, sitting down on the bed
next to
her,"I mean, it's all in the past. Who cares? We're
together now.
We weren't together then. I'm cool with that because I have
you
now."
"I know. I know Steven, and your right. But it's weird that
you felt
something and didn't tell me. But to be honest, I felt something
too."
"Really?" I can feel my eyes widen, "Why didn't you
tell me
then?"
"Because I convinced myself that you didn't feel
anything..."
"Jackie...well it doesn't matter,ok? We both felt
something,we
just were to scared to say anything. I can live with that because i
have you now. ok, case closed."
Jackie smirked, "Say that again."
"Uh...case closed?"
"No! Before that."
I think back on what I said, "Oh. I have you now. Is that
it?"
"Aww, Steven! That's so cute!" She exclaims, throwing
her arms
around me and kissing me.
She finds the weirdest things cute. I swear. Like if I hold her
hand, she'll just stare at it and 5 minutes later, go "Aww!
Steven!
This is so cute!" or if I hold a door open for her, or punch
Kelso
for her, or go and get her a soda. Any small thing I do, she finds
completely and utterly cute. It's weird. But I'm use to it.
I'm use to
her.
