| Chapter 4 Continued... Gemma's stomach turned. "GET REAL JACKASS! Besides Jeff already has a date...he's taking Mell-iss-ssa!" Gemma hadnt meant to sound sarcastic, |
| it just came out that way. She didnt even know why it bothered her so much! Matt was about to rib her about her sarcasm, then decided Gemma & Jeff was a mystery even Scooby Doo & the gang coulndt solve!!! His phillosophy was leave them alone & they'll figure it out themselves! "So I was thinkin..I know this really hot guy..." "Oh please!" Gemma butted in "Ive seen all of your friends!!" "What's that supposed to mean miss prom queen? None of my friends good enough for you Ma'am!!?" Matt stuck his nose in the air & turned his head as if he was offended! Gemma laughed "Anyway this guy is seriously hot property & i know you wouldnt say no babe!!" Matt said with a wink "Come on Matt no w....." Gemma stopped in mid-sentance & then screamed "YOU???" "sure why not!?" "Well because.....erm...because..." "Exactly! problem solved! Gem has a date & Matt gets to check out all the highschool chicks!! Woooooo!!!" So that was that! Gemma was going to the prom with a guy most of the girls she knew would lay down over a mud puddle for!! this was going to be on hell of a night!! |
| Chapter 5 The prom was a huge success! Gemma walked in on Matt's arm & she swore she heard a collective gasp from most of the girls there!! Matt of course loved every minute of it too & they seemed to be the centre of attention for most of the evening! They sat with Jeff & mellissa when they weren't dancing & Gemma even found herself beginning to like Jeff's date - she wasnt really as bad as she had first thought! Neither of the 2 couples won prom King & Queen - that went to some 'Barbie & ken' but Gemma didnt mind one bit! She'd had a fantastic time & tongues were certainly going to be wagging about Gemma's surprise date!! Next morning Gemma woke with a ringing in her ears - the music had been so loud the night before she could barely hear anything! She lay in bed & smilled to herself. She couldnt wait to hear what the buzz was about the prom so she decided when she got up she would simply have to make some calls to her girlfirends!! She sluggishly stuck her legs over the side of the bed & sat up, rubbing her eyes & yawning. Her feet found the contents of her purse scattered on the floor & she vaguly recalled throwing it there the night before. She bent down to pick it all up when she found a small white piece of paper, she picked it up but before she even unfolded it she remembered it was Mellissa's phone number. The feeling came back to her stomach. It was kind of a nervous feeling that she couldn't explain. She rubbed her stomach absentmindedly, the folded up piece of paper still in her hand & she remembered Mellissa's voice.... "Call me! We'll get together for a coffee sometime & you can dish all the dirt on this handsome stud!!" She was running her fingers through Jeff's hair & giggling when she handed the number to Gemma. Now that she tought about it Mellissa had been all over Jeff for most of the night! Damn she was annoying!! And that voice, Gemma thought, that nasal, whining voice!! What on earth was Jeff thinking? What does he see in that!? OK so she's pretty, so what?? "God men!" Gemma said to herself, "Why do they always fall for the beauty queens?!" "Honey they're all the same & dont let anyone tell you different!!" It was Kellie standing in the doorway of Gemma's room! "Oh Jesus Kel! You almost scared me shitless!! I didnt even know I'd said that out loud!!" "hahaha sorry sweetie! I was just comming to see if you wanted breakfast....and dont let your father catch you using language like that!!" kellie winked & they both giggled! She came & sat beside Gemma on the bed. "Y'know Gem if ever you need to talk...about guys, life, anything - Im here ya know that?" Kellie put her arm around Gemma's shoulders & gave her a little squeeze. "Sure Kellie, I know & I will.....if ever I need to talk that is!" "OK so who's the 'beauty queen' guy then?" "Oh no one...well no one in particular anyway! Besides like you said, that could describe any guy on the planet!!" "OK kiddo! But just keep in mind what I said, Im here for you ok?" "Yeah I will! thanx Kel!" Kellie stood up & ruffled Gemma's hair before going back downstairs. Gemma decided to try & shake this uneasy feeling with a nice long shower! After her shower she did feel better - she lazed around for most of the morning watching TV or on the phone. She had been right about the tongues wagging! 4 of her girlfriends had already called that morning demanding to know all of the juicy gossip! Did they go back to Matt's place? Did she kiss him? Did they make out!!? Gemma told them all the same thing - nothing happened!!!! She actually found the whole thing hillarious! Later that afternoon she decided to take a walk to Jeff's place! It took her a little longer than usual as her legs ached from dancing & her feet were sore from her new shoes!!! When she got there & knocked on the door she could hear Matt, he was shouting hysterically! "Jeff!!JEFF!! Come here man quick!!" Gemma didnt wait to be let in, she opened the door & ran in!! "What's going on? is everyone alright??" she asked, her heart pounding! Jeff ran downstairs. "Jesus Matt! What's the problem? where's the fire??!" "Jeff, Gemma I just got a phonecall!!" said Matt almost out of breath from excitement! "yeah?!" said Gemma & jeff together "Jeff man it was from Omega!!" matt screamed & picked up Gemma & twirlled her around!! "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" said Jeff "Have we got a try out???!!" "YES!!!!!" screamed Matt. "OH MY GOD!" screamed Jeff. "HOLY SHIT!!" screamed Gemma! The two brothers hugged each other & Gemma sat down stunned! This was the break they had been waiting for, they were trying out for Omega wresting! She couldnt help herself & she started to cry! She always knew this day would come & she had no doubt in her mind that this was their first step to living out their dream!! |
