| Final Madness-Chapter 1 |
| Will Simmons Well, the play-offs have arrived. The victory dance is causing chaos throughout the school. As for me, I am a nervous wreck. The grand final against Big Mesa is vastly approaching. Why does life have to be so complicated? Melissa and I are not a couple anymore. I am having a harder time finding a date than I am about playing in the game. I must find a date and FAST! |
| Elizabeth Wakefield Connor asked me to the dance! He actually asked me!. I know, I know. I'm thinking too much of this but if he likes me, he'd ask me to the dance...right?. Now I have to find the perfect dress...uh oh. Can't wait for the dance!. I wonder if he'll kiss me goodnight?. |
| Connor McDermott I asked Elizabeth to the dance. Way to go McDermott!!. What worries me is Todd Wilkins. Andy says she'd definitely over him. But I'm still not sure. I found some old letters of his to Elizabeth at the bottom of her closet. I know, I shouldn't of been snooping. But I had to be sure. I don't want to ask her out and then for her to do the same thing I did to Maria. What the hell am I thinking? Elizabeth won't do that!. I'm going overboard. It's just that I am protecting my heart. Stone Heart...haha. |
| Elizabeth Wakefield walked through the hallway of Sweet Valley High, seeing Connor McDermott standing next to her locker. "Hey Liz" Connor exclaimed, casually. "Hi" Elizabeth answered, suddenly feeling shy. She had been living with this guy for three months, why all of a sudden did she feel like the floor should swallow her up. Elizabeth carefully twisted the knob to connect the combination. Her locker opened with a bang. Connor leaned against the one next to it, trying to look cool and at ease. It wasn't easy. "So, you busy?" Connor asked, curiously. "Well yeah, there's a meeting of the Oracle" Elizabeth answered, suddenly flustered. "Oh okay" Connor intercepted. "Could I walk you?". "Sure" Elizabeth squeaked. She was surprised at the offering. Elizabeth shut her locker and started off towards the Oracle office. She was distincly conscious of Connor walking next to her. "By the way, Liz, could you tell my sister I won't be home until late" Connor requested "I'm cramming with Tia". "Okay, I'll pass it onto her" Elizabeth nodded. They reached the Oracle office. "Well, here we are". "Yeah, so I'll see you later?" Connor asked, warmly. "You're meeting Tia at the Riot, right?" "Yes, I guess so" Elizabeth answered, awkwardly. "Well, see you". Elizabeth smiled at him before entering through the door. She watched Connor walk off with his hands jammed in his pockets. Elizabeth hugged herself tightly. He wanted to be around her. Jessica Wakefield stood at the tree with her boyfriend, Jeremy Aames. Jeremy bent his head and kissed her gently. "I've got to go" Jessica whispered, lightly. "Oh, only a few more seconds" Jeremy coaxed, stroking her hair. Jessica looked up at him, still marvelling how lucky she was to have him care about her so much. She was definitely in love. He took her in his arms again, kissing her more lingeringly. Tia Ramirez sat with Connor tapping her foot impatiently. Elizabeth was due there any minute. She knew that Connor loved Elizabeth and she knew that Elizabeth loved Connor. It was like the yang not meeting his yin. Tia was frustrated. She didn't know how to approach this. Maybe at the dance everything will work out for the best between the two of them. Elizabeth walked in, Connor's eyes lit up. Elizabeth approached them. "Hey, sorry I'm late, the Oracle has a cafeteria menu trauma" Elizabeth apologised. Tia giggled. "That's cool" Tia replied. "Connor here, was just telling me about your little episode this morning with the hair dryer". Elizabeth blushed. "Damn things have a mind of their own" Elizabeth joked, half-heartedly. Connor smiled at her. Elizabeth tried not to melt under his gaze. "Doesn't matter" Tia added "You look great". Connor nodded, agreeably, not being able to speak. The truth was, Elizabeth always looked incredible to Connor anyway. "Oh yeah, I also wanted to ask you if you wanted to be on the dance committee?" Elizabeth asked, changing the subject. "Sure, that would be cool" Tia agreed "You know I had an idea for a theme". "Yeah, what is it?" Elizabeth asked, curiously. "It's probably stupid, but how about Casablanca?" Tia suggested. Elizabeth's eyes suddenly got watery, it was her favorite movie. "That sounds great" Elizabeth commented, not being able to look Connor in the eye. "Why don't you bring it up at tomorrow's lunchtime meeting?" "Okay, why not?" Tia answered, brightly. "I might even bring ol' James Dean here along". She nudged Connor playfully. Connor looked away. "Yeah, but you know, Casablanca sounds okay, but what about Grease?" Connor suggested. Elizabeth smiled. "That sounds great too" Elizabeth answered, she glanced at her watch. "Look at the time, I'm going to see Jess". She stood up "I'll see you guys later". "Okay" Tia added, smiling. "Hey,why don't you come around and cram with us?" "Sure, that would be cool". Elizabeth agreed. Connor watched her leave. He sighed. "Why don't you just ask her out?" Tia asked Connor when Elizabeth was out of earshot. "I would if I could find the right time" Connor answered, haughily. "The right time would be when I've left the room to get soda" Tia told him, suggestively. Connor nodded, getting the idea. |
