The Black Dragons of Riverdale Prep! Chapter 3!

The Guys (Scott, Jeff, etc...)

"Hey," Freddie, one of Scott’s friends nudged him in the ribs, "isn’t that your girlfriend over there talking with one of the Black Dragons?" Scott stopped talking (flirting) and looked over at where Freddie was pointing. His eyes grew wide with anger; JC had his arm around Jackie’s seat and was talking with her.

"Yea, that’s her. What’s that punk doing over there with her?!" Scott exclaimed and stomped over to them, "JACKIE!" She turned her head and looked at him.

"Hi Scott," she replied.

"What are you doing?" He yelled.

"Just chatting, it is a free world ya know."

"But he’s a Black Dragon! And you know I HATE the Black Dragons!"

"And I also know that you promised you wouldn’t flirt ever again. And what are you doing? Flirting with that, that thing over there Cindy!" She was standing up now, her hands forming fists at her side.

"I’m not flirting, um not at all."

"Yea right! You promised! And I’m not flirting with JC, I’m just chatting. There is a difference."

"Not when you’re mine." He pulled her arm with a hard tug and began to drag her away. She began to make fists tighter and then BAM! She punched Scott...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Shayna...

Meanwhile, Shayna and Justin were about to put her plan into action.

"We’ll just hold hands and walk in front of him, sound all right?" Shayna asked. He nodded and took her hand tightly in his. They strolled hand in hand towards Jeff. Someone tapped Jeff on the shoulder and pointed to them. Jeff’s eyes glared with anger and Justin did something that really ticked Jeff off. He pulled Shayna into his strong arms and kissed her full on the mouth. To his surprise, she didn’t recoil, but just kissed him back hard. *I’ve always wanted to see what it was like to kiss a Black Dragon,* Shayna thought with a grin, *and now I am.* When they let go, Shayna gasped, *That was the best kiss I’ve ever had.* Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jeff marching toward them. She really wanted this plan to work, so she hugged Justin tight. He looked down at her and nodded, and he hugged her tightly back.

Jeff was right in front of the "couple" now, and the anger in his face was clear.

"What the hell do you think you’re doing?!" Jeff roared. Shayna had never seen him this mad before.

"What does it look like? Kissing and having a GREAT time with my boyfriend," Shayna answered.

"Boyfriend? This piece of trash?" Shayna was shocked at what Jeff had just said. She could feel the anger emitting from Justin.

"The hell you say!" Justin yelled back. He raised his right hand and POW! And punched Jeff right in the face, ouch.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Lance, Joey, Chris, Natalie, Brooke, and Lindsey...

They had all stopped talking and were just staring at the scene in front of them. Natalie was happy that both Shayna and Jackie had the guts to stand up to those guys. Lindsey’s feelings to the whole situation was worry. She didn’t want something terrible to happen to her two friends. She’d seen stuff like this before and didn’t like the results...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Jackie...

I can’t believe I just did that! No way, I just punched Scott! I looked down at my now open hand, blood. I gasped and looked up at Scott. His nose was bleeding and his left eye was swollen. I did that? Scott’s face was full of shock, but quickly began to turn angry.

'You! You jerk! You stole my girl so you’re gonna die!" Scott roared. He glared at JC, eyes full of hate. He raised his fists ready to punch JC. I saw this, and right before the blow made contact with him, I jumped in front so I got punched in the eye. I didn’t feel the physical pain quickly, but the emotional pain hit me hard. Scott had just punched me and isn’t doing anything about it. JC rushed to my side.

"You okay?" JC asked. I nodded after awhile.

"Yea, I guess so. Maybe just a black eye." I answered. Scott still didn’t move or speak.

"Why’d ya do it? You didn’t have to move in front of my like that."

"Yea Jackie, tell us" Scott looked at me...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Shayna...

Shayna was beyond shocked at what Justin had just did. Justin had always hated Jeff. Jeff barely moved, he was shocked; Justin had punched him. But now, that didn’t matter. Everyone’s eyes were on the arguing "perfect" couple...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Jackie...

I felt everyone’s eyes burning on me, and I was ready. I took a deep breath. Whew, I was ready.

"I did it because you don’t deserved to be punched for actions you didn’t commit. I did them all, and you shouldn’t be blamed for any of it. It’s my fault not yours." I looked up at JC, his eyes sparkled for a moment and I turned to Scott, "You. You are the worst piece of trash on Earth! How dare you lie right in my face! And then you go and swing a punch at someone I was just talking with!" All the anger I’ve been holding inside was finally being released, "You lie to me all the time! You flirt with girls behind my back and sometimes even right in front of me," I turned my gaze quickly over to Cindy who’s barely covered legs were crossed, showing her "slim" thighs to all who cared to look. She smiled innocently like she had nothing to do with this.

"I can explain..." Scott tried to apologize, but I just wouldn’t let him.

"No! No more explaining! I’ve had enough of you and you’re explanations Scott!" I yelled back, he shook his head.

"But..."

"No buts. And Scott Timmons, you are now single." I spun on my heel and turned and walked away quickly. I knew Scott was shocked, as well as everyone else. I heard footsteps running towards me and I stopped, expecting it to be Scott. It wasn’t.

"Why’d you do that Jackie?" JC looked at me. I looked down at the ground, I couldn’t really tell him why. Ever since I first saw him I had a crush on him, but I couldn’t say or do anything about; since I had a boyfriend and all. But that was really the only reason I did it...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Meanwhile...

Everyone was amazed by the scene that had just occurred in front of them. Scott was just standing there, disbelief flooding his face. Shayna stood there, mouth agape in surprise. She couldn’t believe what just happened, Scott had just been dumped by Jackie and she got punched in the eye for it. She took the blow for JC, why?? The only reason Shayna would think Jackie would do it is because she doesn’t let people take the crap they’re not responsible for. JC really had nothing to do with Jackie and Scott, and Scott was just going to punch him. Jackie just doesn’t like it when people get into trouble for nothing. But there could be another reason...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Jackie...

I was nervous as hell and I feel like dying right here and now, but I won’t. I stuck my hands into the pockets of my cargos. I felt a piece of paper, what could it be? I turned around from JC and dug the note out of my pocket. It was the black note from my locker. I opened the folded not and carefully read it. It was written neatly in gold ink, and it read: Dear Jackie, would you like to go to the dance with me Saturday? I know you and Scott are together but I don’t care. Give me a buzz at 541-2146 JC.

My heart flipped. What? JC wanted to take me to the dance! But why? Why me? Does he like me? I spun around and faced him. I smiled.

"Well, I did it because you wouldn’t have deserved that punch, since I did. People who aren’t involved are usually the ones who get hurt. And we don’t want that to happen since I need you as my date for the dance tomorrow night." I smiled again, but brighter.

"Yea that wouldn’t be too good," he replied with a grin. I chuckled.

"What time you want to pick me up tomorrow?"

"6?" The dance started at 6:30 so that sounded good.

"Sure," I smiled and began to walk off, needing some fresh, open air but JC grabbed my arm before I could take one step. He pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss on the lips. His lips were soft and warm, I just wish I could stay like this forever...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Meanwhile...

The rest of the "Black Dragons" were asking the girls (except for Justin and Shayna) to the dance. Of course, they all said yes, since they all had secret crushes on them. Natalie was talking with Lance when she leaned over to Lindsey and whispered,

"Hey look!" She said and pointed over to where Justin and Shayna were. Lindsey nudged Brooke who was sitting next to her. She looked where they were looking. Justin and Shayna were kissing deeply. It was a shock for the girls, since she was kissing Justin right in front of Jeff!

"Dude! Is that aloud on public?" Joey joked. Brooke smacked him in the arm and everyone started cracking up laughing...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Shayna...

Shayna was "lip-locked" with Justin right in front of Jeff. She felt happy, away from Jeff and with Justin. She felt a little guilty at the same time too, since she was just kinda kissing Justin to make Jeff mad. She thought about it, is she kissing Justin for Justin, or Justin for Jeff?

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Jackie...

I parted from JC’s lips and looked into his crystal blue eyes. Why was I so attracted to him? Was it that air of mystery around him? Was it those sparkling blue eyes of his? I wasn’t too sure about it myself, I just didn’t know why. But right now, I don’t care. Our foreheads were now pressed and I could feel his breath on my face.

"Ever since I first saw you I loved you, but I wouldn’t make a move, you had a guy." JC whispered so soft I had to lean in closer in to hear it. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. JC had liked, no loved me for the longest time. Why me?

"Why me? I bet there’s tons of girls wanting to be with you!" I asked him and he smiled lightly.

"You’re you. That’s why. You’re kind, sweet, caring, and can be friendly with anybody. You’re one of a kind Jackie, and that makes you special in my eyes."

"But, I’m not one of the prettiest girls out there."

"To me, looks are an added bonus if someone has a great personality."

"Really? Not to be mean or anything, but I thought all of the Dragons were completely different." JC frowned a little at this.

"That’s usually what everyone thinks, but oh well." I gave him a tight hug.

"But now I know you guys are different, at least I know you’re different." He smiled again, and I smiled too.

E-mail Jackie.
