Chapter 5 - Episode 5

"And that class is how I couldn't get a date last night." The teacher said as he put down his marker. He turns to them. "So?"

Morgan shakes her head. "Why again hasn't anyone reported him?" She whispers to the others.

"I don't know. Mr. Ham is kind of a cool teacher. You can get away with a lot of stuff." Gabe shrugs.

She nods. "Still.." She stares at Mr. Ham.

"Okay. I see no one cares." He grabs a stack of papers on his desk. "This is homework." he hands each kid in the front a stack of the papers. "I want you to answers these questions honestly." He smiles.

"Have you ever lied to your parents?" Stacy looks at him. "Really?"

He smiles. "What? Can't be honest?"

She rolls her eyes.

Morgan looks at the questions.

"I wish I could have been in love.." Victoria sighs as she flips through the pages.

"I was in love once.." Jason sobs.

Gabe looks at him. "Pitiful."

Morgan laughs. She looks at Victoria. "Where does it mention love?"

"Page 3. Question 17." She sighs.

Morgan flips to the page. "Ah. Found it." She reads the question below it. "Have you ever done something terrible to someone? And did you regret it?"

The bell rings.

"I guess maybe eating off Victoria's plate at lunch in third grade." Jason nods. "She bite my hand. I still have a scar to this day!"

Victoria laughed. "Don't touch my food!" She looks at Morgan. "What about you?"

"What?!" Morgan jumps.

Gabe raises a brow. "Something wrong?"

They all look at her.

"NO! I'm fine!" She grabs her things quickly. Just have to pee!" She rushes out the room.

"That was strange." Victoria looks at the others.

"Very" Gabe nods.

"I bet she is in love with me and can't admit it." Jason smiles.

Gabe looks at him. "What about Sofia?"

They walk out of the room.

"See you later!" Victoria waves at them as she walks away.

Jason smiles. "Sofia is nice and all but she doesn't like me the same way."

"How do you know?" Gabe laughed.

They stopped at their lockers.

Jason opened his. "She just doesn't get me. She even told me this."

"And you went along?" Gabe looks at him worried.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Yes. I know! I have no respect."

"That's good you know." Gabe shuts his locker.

"But Morgan.." Jason shuts his locker. He looks off. Day dreaming.

Gabe looks at him.

"She is something else. I mean when we kissed-"

"Wait! You two kissed?" Gabe looks at him shocked.

Jason smiles big. "Yes. Yes we did."

Gabe shakes his head. "Sure you did." He turns around. "It was probably a dream of yours." He walks off.

"No way! I kissed her!" Jason yells.

Everyone looks at him.

He smiles. But runs away.

Morgan shuts her locker.

"Hey"

Morgan jumps. "Listen, I really don't-" As she turns she freezes when she is face to face with a very handsome boy. "Um..hi?" She blushed.

The boy laughed. He had shiny slick black hair. His light hazel eyes looked into hers. "Hi. Names Ben." He smirks at her. "You have such beautiful eyes."

She swallows hard. "Oh um thank you." She moves away. "You new here?"

He shakes his head. "Nah. Just deiced to come back to this shit hole."

She nods. "Right."

"But I know you are." He moves his hair back. "Anyways, sorry for not introducing myself before I just was too shy to talk to you."

"Me?" She points to herself. She begins to laugh. "No need! I'm awesome!" She shakes her head. "I mean-"

"It's fine." He smiles down at her. He was somewhat taller. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to go out sometime."

She blushed even more.

He looked at her worried. "Don't mean to alarm you but is there something wrong with your cheeks?"

She shakes her head. "What?" She laughs. "Noooo. I'm fine. But I will take you up for that date!"

"Cool. Can I have your number?" He smiles.

She nods.

Jason turns the corner but stops when he sees Morgan flirting with a guy. He growls.

"But yeah. It's a date!" She smiles at him after giving him his phone back.

"See you" He turns around. As he walks away, Jason, runs up to her.

"How could you!" He crosses his arms.

She looks at him confused. "Can I help you?"

He nods. "Yes! How come you are flirting with other men?"

She laughs. "I'm allowed to. Since when did you become the boss of me?"

"Since we kissed?" He growls.

She laughs. "Jason.." She puts her hand on his shoulder. "it wasn't real." She turns and walks off.

"It was real to me!" He yells.

*In the bathroom*

"Maybe we could-"

"Shush! I'm brainstorming!" Serena shushes Sofia.

Sofia sighs.

"Can both of you shut up! I'm trying to poo!" Stacy yells as she uses the toilet.

Both girls smile a little but it soon fades.

"I need a plan." Stacy flushes the toilet. She walks out, walking to the sink.

The other girls stand next to her.

"I was thinking maybe we can do something with Victoria. They live together after all" Sofia brushes her hair out of her face.

"What?!" Stacy looks at her surprised. "What are you talking about?"

Sofia looks at her. "I thought you knew?"

Stacy thinks. "This is great!" She smiles big.

"What is?" Sofia looks at her confused.

"She's going to use Victoria as bate so we can get Morgan to join us!" Serena rolls her eyes. "You idiot."

"How'd you know?" Sofia looks at her confused.

Serena shrugs. "I guess we are just closer." She smiles.

Sofia sighs. "Right.."

"Are you done? Because I need to tell you the "actual plan." Stacy has her arms crossed looking at both of them.

"Yes" Both girls nod.

"Good" Stacy smiles. "I need both of your help"

*At Lunch*

Morgan and Victoria sits on the ground near Jason and Gabe.

"I'm telling you! Terraia is wayy better than Minecraft!" Gabe argues with Jason.

Jason shakes his head. "No. Terraia is awful! Minecraft is where it is at!"

Morgan laughs. "Is it always like this with these two?"

"Some days it's "The Walking Dead has a better story than Game Of Thrones." Victoria laughs.

Morgan nods while smirking. "I mean both are bad."

Both Gabe and Jason stop arguing and turn to her.

"What did you say?" Gabe looks at her angry.

Jason shakes his head. "Morgan, I know we are together-"

"Not together" She states.

"Righttt but still. I will look past this." Jason winks at her.

Morgan laughs. "What? It's true! Okay, neither show is bad it's just that sometimes the plot doesn't make sense or it's always the same thing just written differently"

Gabe nods. "She makes a good point."

"Can we talk about how Game Of Thrones ended?" Jason groans. "Like come on!"

Morgan nods. "Tell me about it!"

Gabe and Victoria smile as they watch the other two bond.

"Hey, Morgan"

Everyone stops talking. Morgan turns around, looking up, to see Ben standing there with his hands in his pocket looking nervous.

She jumps up smiling. "Hey!"

He smiles back. "Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah." She nods.

They walk off heading under the bleachers.

Jason watches them like a hawk.

"Something wrong?" Gabe looks at him as he takes a bite.

"He's jealous." Victoria laughs.

"Why though? What about Sofia?" Gabe looks at him confused.

Jason doesn't respond. He keeps staring.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" She crosses her arms.

He looks at the ground nervous. "I know that we had a date planed."

"Yeah?" She looks at him worried.

He sighs. "I was wondering if I could take you out tonight." He looks at her.

She smiles. "Yeah." She nods.

He sighs while smiling. "Thank god!"

Jason growls. He stands walking to the trash can. He throws his food in the trash before walking inside the school.

Gabe shakes his head. "The boy needs to learn that not all the girls here want him."

"True" Victoria agrees before eating her candy.
