Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

Savvy's P.O.V

School, the one thing I wanted to avoid today. Skipping had crossed my mind several times. I wanted to stay home and allow myself to curl up in a ball on my bed, crying till the day turned to night. Of course they, (Hope, Kay, and Maddy) wouldn't let me. As a matter of fact they poured water on me when I said I wouldn't get up.

Getting out of the car, I breathed in the fresh air ... If I could avoid him, today might not be a bad day.

Vinny walked over to us with a smile, I couldn't help but smile back. But just when he was about to say something to me, Kay grabbed Vinny and dragged him away. I sighed. I kind of wanted to talk to him. Vinny, my personal teddy bear. Plus, he always made me laugh and smile when I feel like everything in my life is crappy.

"Well, I'm going to go meet Tom, he said there is something he wants to tell me." Hope said.

"Okay, see you later." Maddy said, I just waved bye to her.

Maddy and I walked, wordlessly down the halls. I looked up and down the halls for Allen, in doing so I didn't see a person in front of me as ran into them. I fell backwards.

"I'm so sorry." I heard a voice say. I looked up at a blue eyed, blond haired guy.

"It's fine, it was my fault." I stated as I stood up.

"Are you okay?" He asked, I nodded. "By the way, I'm Jack."

"Savvy." I replied.

"Savvy, come on, we're going to be late." Maddy said from beside me. I said goodbye to, Jack and walked away.

Maddy and I reached my locker. I took out my books I would need and closed my locker.

"Hello, Savvy ... Maddy." I heard a voice say behind me. I couldn't move or look behind me at Allen. I was afraid that I would cry once I looked into his eyes.

"Hi, Allen is there something you want?" Maddy asked with venom in her voice.

"I don't want anything from you. Actually, Troy said he wanted to talk to you. He told me to tell you that you can find him in the gym." Allen stated. Maddy made no move to leave me alone in the practically empty hall with Allen. I cursed to myself when I concluded that the halls were almost empty because class was to begin in like 3 minutes. "Maddy, you might want to go to Troy, before he comes looking for you."

"You don't tell me what to do." Maddy cut him off. Damn, I could tell she was mad. "You're an asshole. You know that?! I wish we all could have seen that you were an asshole sooner! And how dare you waltz in here! Do you know that I've been with Savvy for the past 12 hours! Watching her act happy! When I knew she was heartbroken! She loved you! You douche bag!!" Maddy huffed, something inside of me made me laugh. I could just image Allen's face, I wanted to see his expression, but I knew I shouldn't turn around and face him.

"Maddy, you don't understand-" Allen began to say but Maddy cut him off.

"You're a dickhead, that's all I need to know! And, how dare to talk about not understanding-"

"Maddy, let them talk." Troy said coming up behind her. Maddy shook her head.

"No, I rather kick him in the balls!" She shouted. Troy sighed and wrapped an arm around Maddy's waist. I watched, flabbergasted, as Troy picked Maddy up and threw her over his shoulder. She yelled profanities at Troy and Allen as Troy carried her away.

"Now, that they're gone, Savvy I want to tell you something." Allen began."Sit with me at lunch." I turned and finally faced him. His eyes looked different, more distant. I could already see from taking one look at him that he was holding in his feelings.

"I-I don't think that's a good idea." I said.

Without looking me in the eye, Allen spoke. "I wasn't asking."

"Whether you were asking or not, I'm not sitting with or by you." I harshly said.

"This, I guess, is where I say if you don't sit with me, I'll not hesitate to send the photo of you on my hood to anyone ..." Allen stated.

"Why, do you want me to sit with you?! Is it because you can't be with me, so instead you want to keep me close?" I asked. Allen looked me dead in the eye.

"Why I want you to sit next to me is my own damn business. It's not because I want you close. Now it's completely your choice to sit with me or not. But you know what'll happen if you don't." His voice was cold and stern. I exhaled in anger. Without saying a word, Allen walked away. Leaving me there ... furious ...

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Smile ... Smile ... Smile ....

I kept repeating to myself, before I walked into first period. The teacher, Mrs. Mars, looked at me.

"Savvy, why are you late?" She asked.

"My locker wouldn't open." I lied. She nodded and told me to go sit at my seat and that she wouldn't mark me tardy. I silently took my seat next to Hope and Kay.

"What happened?" Hope asked me, clearly reading my pained and angry expression. I shook my head for her to let it go.

"Nothing," I lied. I knew Kay and Hope both saw right through me, but they didn't question me. I glanced at the desk and saw our classwork. Knowing I was making perfect grades in this class, I balled the paper up and tossed it in the bin beside the teacher's desk. Mrs. Mars gave me a look when I did, but said nothing. I like how she was the kind of teacher that was laid back and didn't question a thing we did. Plus, I liked her for the fact that she was a teacher of a few words, never really lectured us, just gave out worksheets.

"Hey, Savvy." I spun around to come face to face with Vinny.

"Vinny? What are you doing in this class?" I asked with curiosity. He shyly smiled.

"Ummm, I changed my classes." He admitted. I grinned.

"Well ... I'm glad you did." I admitted. Vinny blushed, which made me grin even more. He was so cute when he acted shy. I guess that was just Vinny, the shy one. Ever since middle school--which was when I met him--he acted this way.

I saw Vinny's eyes flicker to Kay with a unreadable expression.

"So, you and Kay, huh?" I questioned. Something inside of me was itching to know if he was dating her ... or anyone for that matter.

"Kay and I? What?" Vinny naively asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on, I can tell you two are you know ... secretly dating." I was egging him on for an answer. All of a sudden Vinny shook his head.

"Oh! No, no, no Kay and I are not dating in any sort of way ... We are friends! That's it, I swear!" He started shouting.

"Calm your horses and buggy. I get it. You two don't want anyone to know." I winked at him. He face-palmed.

"Savvy, I'm not dating Kay ... I like someone else." His words made me gasp. I was shocked and...

Wait ... what was this feeling? ... Jealousy? Envious? ... No! Vinny was like a brother to me ...Yeah, brother.

"Y-you like someone else ... Who? Do I know her? What's her name? Does she go this school? Do I know her? What does she look like? Are you two friends-"

"Savvy, chill." Vinny said, as he placed one of his hands on each of my shoulders. "Calm down ..." I sighed.

Why did I drill him about it?

He then grinned at me and I just couldn't hold it any longer, I smiled back.

Brother ... Brother ... he was like a brother to me...

Then why in the world did I have to keep reminding myself of that?

When the bell rang ... I stood up with a jolt and ran out of the classroom.

<><><>><><>><>>><>>><><><><

By Vinny saying he changed all of his classes, he meant all of his classes. Every single class I'd been in today he was too.

It's just a coincidence that he had every single class with me ... right?

"Savvy, that was the lunch bell." Vinny said to me. I jumped like a foot in the air and got up. "Daydreaming?" He asked me as he grabbed my books off my desk and helped me put them in my backpack.

"Yeah ..." We walked to lunch together.

"Wanna sit with me today?" Vinny asked me. I remembered that Allen had 'ordered' me to sit with him, but as my eyes scanned the cafeteria, I saw no Allen.

"Yeah, sure," Vinny and I sat down.

"I'll go get our lunch." Offered Vinny as he got up and walked to the lunch line. I sat there, and looked over the lunch room. I finally caught sight of a black head guy ... Allen, who was sitting on the other side of the cafeteria, staring at me. With a motion of his finger, he beckoned me to come over to him. I shook my head 'no' and looked down at the wooden table before me. Seconds later Vinny came back with our food.

"Thank you." He nodded.

"No problem, so-" Vinny stopped talking when I felt--or more like he stopped talking I started to get dragged across the lunchroom in my chair. When I twisted around, I saw Allen tightly gripping the back of my chair and pulling me to his table by my seat.

"What the hell Allen?!" I shrieked when he stopped. He said nothing and just sat back in his chair. I scooted my seat away from him. It was obvious that he put both of our chairs close together on purpose. "You're an ass, I was eating. Guess now I'll go hungry, not like you care." Without saying a word Allen pushed his tray over in front of me. "I don't want your food."

"Yet you want Vinny's." Allen muttered. I looked at him, and I saw that his brown eyes looked almost black. He was seriously pissed off.

"It's not what you think ... he's like a brother to me."

"Why do you have to explain to Allen what your relationship is with Vinny?" Kay asked coming over to us. Allen glared at her, and she replied by flipping him off and continuing to speak. "Allen, you lost your chance with Savvy yesterday," added Kay.

"Kay, you don't know anything." Allen said in a low, cold voice.

"Really? Elaborate then." Kay said as she sat down across from Allen and me. Allen said not a word to her.

"What's Savvy doing next to the dickhead?" Maddy asked in an angry voice when she made it to the table and sat down next to Kay.

"I don't know, but it will change very soon, if I have anything to do with it." Kay said.

"Well, you don't have anything to do about it. What happens between Savvy and I is only between Savvy and I." Allen said in a very firm voice. Maddy and Kay stood up at the same time.

"She is our friend!" Kay yelled at Allen.

"Her business is our business!" Maddy fired at him. They both had angered looks on their faces.

"Girls, girls, girls, calm down." Dylan said, Kay snapped her head to him.

"Flick off, you egotistical bastard," her tone was bitter. I went wide eyed, she had never talked to Dylan like that. Even if she had in the past, I knew she would say she was sorry right off the bat. Yet, Kay was serious, and looked as if she would never say she was sorry to Dylan. If I was in a better mood I'd be jumping up and down singing of how Kay finally stood up to Dylan. Even though I didn't sing, I did however smile. I glanced at Dylan, and if I might say so, he looked stunned. His expression was of pure shock. I swear, he looked as if no one had ever told him to flick off or called him a egotistical bastard, but Kay sure did.

"Allen, baby, what is she doing in my seat?" Helena ... wait ... what? Helena! Who did she think she was, calling Allen--MY Allen--baby ... but then again he wasn't my Allen.

"Don't you have to go bug Troy?" I asked her. She glared at me.

"Troy was and never will be my concern. I was only with him to get closer to Allen. Did you actually think I would keep texting him and calling him just because he was good in bed?" Helena asked. I watching Maddy, in the corner of my eye, spit out her hamburger at Helena's words.

Man, guess those words hit Maddy with a surprise.

"Well, could have fooled me." I stated. Helena was clearly pissed off at me.

"Allen, make her go away, she is making me mad." Helena said to Allen. He didn't reply, actually he acted as if he was ignoring her. Helena leaned down till her lips were at his ear. She whispered something to him ... I think she said something about telling his mom, and his mom get rid of me ... But I might have heard wrong.

Allen faced me. "Savvy, leave."

"But, Allen."

"Savvy, give Helena back her seat and leave, now." He demanded. I quickly sat up and kicked the chair over.

"That was never her chair, that chair was mine. Same one you dragged me on all the way across the lunch room to sit next to you ... You know what, Helena? You can have the chair, and Allen, because I am done with both of them." I stated and then walked out of the lunch room.

As I started walking down the hells, begging myself not to cry. Then, Hope popped out of nowhere.

"Savvy! Guess what?" She said happily.

"W-w-what?" I asked, trying my hardest not to cry right in front of her.

"Tom and I talked. It's official, we are dating!" She hugged me. I sighed and hugged her back.

"That's great, I'm very happy for you." She let go of me.

"I'm going to tell the others!" She then bounced, yes, I said bounced away. I smiled as I watched her walk away, but my smile faded ... Hope was so fortunate to have someone who loved her like Tom.

I knew that she didn't notice my sadness because of her happy state, and I was okay with that. I didn't really want anyone noticing me like this. I know, I knew they've seen me cry before, but I would never let that happen again. It was a moment of weakness.

I hated people seeing me weak, knowing things were missed up in my life. Because when you showed your true feelings, people manipulated you ... like Allen.

I soon found myself in the Janitor's closet.

Don't ask me why, but it was a place I went at school when I was upset. If I was to go to the bathroom, people might see or hear me cry. Empty classrooms got filled as classes changed.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

The janitor's closet was small, dark, and mostly empty, besides the shelves of cleaning supplies.

I put my back to the wall and allowed myself to fall slowly down to the ground. Soon, I was hugging my knees to my chest and rocking back and forth as tears poured out of me.

Allen, I love you so much! Why could you see it?! Why did you care to drag me to your table ... and then tell me to leave just so Helena could take my seat!?

It was funny how he could just move on like that ... I knew we were only going out for one freaking day, but I couldn't explain how long dreamt and wished to be with him.

The moment I did get him ... it was taken away from me.

"Savvy, don't cry." I heard a male say. I glanced up and saw Vinny crouched down in front of me. I don't know why but I let go of my knees and flung myself at him. My arms wrapped around his waist and I hugged him, within seconds he was hugging me back. I just sat there in his arms and cried for what felt like a lifetime, but in reality it was only twenty minute.

The bell rang for fifth period and I let go of Vinny, he didn't let go of me though.

"Vinny-" I was cut off by him crashing his lips to mine. I couldn't think, all I knew was I wanted more...

Wait! Savvy! Snap out of it! You just go and lost Allen in a 24 hour period, and now you're freaking kissing Vinny?!

I pushed Vinny away as he nibbled on my bottom lip. "Vinny, I can't ... I just ... I just-"

"I know what he did to you Savvy. Getting with you and then breaking it off, on account of his mother. It was wrong. You need to know that I'd never do that to you. If my mom or dad told me I couldn't date you, I'd be a man and tell them my life is not their's and if they insisted, I would leave their house and never look back."

"I'd never ask that of anyone to leave their parents. If Allen faced his mom and told her no, and she still was insisting on him dumping me ... and he was about to make the decision to leave his mom and 'runaway' just for me ... I would have broken up with him. I can't stand the thought of coming in between a child and their parents-" Vinny cut me off.

"That was not the point I was making." Vinny stated.

"Then, what point were you, trying, to make?" I asked.

"That he can't love you like me. He can't be a man like I can-"

"Vinny you are 17, not 20 something, I don't expect you nor him to be a man." I said with a smile.

"Just know that I'll be better for you than him."

"I'm sorry, you're really sounding like a re-run of Twilight 'You need to hear the truth Bella, understand all your options. And you need to know... that I'm in love with you. And I want you to pick me instead of him."-' Vinny cut me off from my Twilight quoting of Jacob by kissing me, again. I don't know what it was in me that made me kiss him back. But, oh, boy I did kiss him back. My hands even started to go toward his hair, but I stopped myself, and him.

"Vinny, Vinny, Vinny, why do you have to make things so complicated?" I asked. He smiled.

"Love is complicated, Sav." I giggled at him calling me 'Sav'. "Date me ... be my girlfriend."

"I can't ... When my heart belongs to another." I stated, looking down at the floor.

"Before I leave, I want to know one thing ... Do you feel anything for me? ... More than a friend ..." I looked into his brown eyes.

"I-I ..." I had no idea ... "I ... Ummm." I was speechless as to why in my head, I was screaming and shouting 'no! he's like a brother!' I know this was cheesy, but my heart was telling me something else, that even though I loved Allen, it wasn't with all my heart...

"See you later, Sav." Vinny said as he opened the janitor's closet.

"Wait!" I called after Vinny and followed him out of the closet. "I didn't give you an answer." I stated. Vinny smiled.

"You didn't have to Sav, I could see it. You like Allen ... and me." He said with a smirk. I nodded.

"Yeah, but I have to get over Allen." I said, Vinny wrapped an arm around my waist.

"I can help you with that." He said.

"I bet you can ..." Vinny leaned down to kiss me, but I wiggled out of his grip and back away from him. "Later." With that I walked away smiling.

"Hey! What time and place do you mean when you say later?" Vinny yelled out to me as I walked farther and farther away from him. I ignored him with a smile on my face as I walked to my locker.

I saw Allen leaning against my locker, texting.

"Hey, Maddy can I borrow your math book?" I asked as she walked by me. I knew she had already taken math at a earlier period, so she didn't need the book. She stopped and gave me a questioning look.

"Why don't you just go get it from-" She stopped talking when she saw my locker and Allen leaning on it. Quickly, she handed me the book. "I have to go, and so do you, bell is going to ring any second." Then she took off towards her next class. I sighed and noticed Allen was still by my locker, texting. I turned to walk away, but then it hit me, my class was the other way ... the way that passed my locker ... the way Allen would see me.

Suck it up! I told myself and then walked straight past Allen.

"Savvy!" He called out and grabbed my arm to stop me from walking any farther.

"Leave me alone, Allen ..." I said in a bitter tone.

"Savvy, just listen-"

"No, I'll not listen, you lost your chance. And like you are clearly doing, I 'm moving on."

"Savvy, just hear me out."

"No, now if you don't let go of me, I will go Donkey Kong on your ass." I truthfully stated, he must have known I was serious, because he let go of my arm. "Now, will you do us both a favor, and stay the hell away from me?"

"I can't do that." He muttered.

"Why?" I asked in a frustrated tone.

"Because Savvy ... I love you."

"Gaaa!!! Then if you love me so much, why don't you tell your mom?! If you love me, why didn't you stand up for me?!" I shouted at him.

"You don't understand Savvy, if I'm with you ...and my mom doesn't approve ... Just know me going with what she said ... is saving your life." Allen said in a low voice. I shook my head.

"Oh, cut the bullshit ... you act like your mom is a freaking assassin!" He chuckled at that.

<><><><><><><>><><><>

Allen's P.O.V

"Oh, cut the bullshit ... you act like your mom is a freaking assassin!" I chuckled at Savvy. She was too naïve to know that my mom was not an assassin, yet she knew many.

My mom was ... how can I put this? ... very powerful. Living in this town / neighborhood was just a cover up.

No, my mom was actually a -

"Get to class, both of you!" Mr. Broadway yelled. Savvy sighed.

"Bye, Allen." Savvy whispered and walked away.

Why did I feel like her goodbye meant that she was actually trying to get over me?

Oh, Savvy, if only you knew how I felt ... and what was going on.

Oh, if you innocent girls didn't play Truth or Dare, we might not actually be in this situation...
