In Training (Open to anyone)

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe blinked. Again? With her foot going -

"Sure."

Bebe didn't know what made her say it. Nerves? Desire? Hormones? She settled on hormones. That's what made Wendel sleep with that player guy in Spring Awakening. Hormones - cause of bad choices nationwide.

Bebe didn't make a move, though. She was too rooted to the ground of the gym. The world consisted of her and Chad, only they existed. And, honestly, this made Bebe afraid. Her worldview was shrinking, and her mind was on the fritz.

Her cheeks reddened randomly.

[cyelena]

Nervous suddenly, Chad hesitantly touched Bebe's face, trying to look her in the eye, but feeling too freaked out for that just yet. Instead, he closed them and kissed her softly again.

It was while he was kissing her that he realised that he really had very little idea of what to do. In the past, it had always been the girls in charge (although he made it come across that he was boss). They always controlled what happened, and now, well, he had a rather passive girl.

He pulled away, not wanting to screw up. He was just glad that Bebe didn't seem huge on gossip. It would completely ruin his reputation if the school found out that he didn't know how to kiss. He blushed. Kissing girls should have been easier! Stupid films always made it seem so simple!

So what did he do? He pulled her back, kissing her again, this time with more force. He'd show those stupid films...

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe sensed that Chad, like her, was overwhelmingly hesitant. His reason was probably more rooted in logic and morals than hers - honestly, whose FOOT decides to suddenly NOT WORK while making out?! Bebe suddenly felt a sudden cool chill work its way across her body. She knew what she wanted at the moment, but what would happen if Jacob found out?

The glorious thought came - Screw Jacob.

When Chad moved in for his second kiss, she greeted him openly. Such passion! Bebe was taken a bit aback by her sudden upsurge of emotion; she was the unemotional one, wasn't she? Bebe felt her right arm fall limply to her side, the casualty of total mental blockage.

Yes, screw Jacob. And anyone else who comes in here.

[cyelena]

Chad was glad that Bebe hadn't rejected his stronger kisses. He had been so nervous that her rejection would have probably scared him off women for life. Okay, for a week.

Not wanting to lose the fact that he felt like he knew what he was doing, he pulled her closer so that their chests were touching. His arms were tight around her and, okay, he'd admit it, if only in his own mind, the kiss was dizzying. Those other kisses he'd had before felt like nothing in comparison. He supposed the difference was that he genuinely liked Bebe, and the other girls had just been distractions or something.

He knew she didn't like it when he messed with her hair, so when he brought one hand up to her neck, he just twirled the ends of it in his fingers. He softened the kiss, realising that he liked the slower and more tender movements. He'd probably have to pull away soon; he was getting weaker in the knees. But for now, he was going to enjoy it and wait for Bebe to either pull away, or take things deeper.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe's knees were failing her, and her foot was still twitching randomly. She rubbed it nonchalantly against her ankle, not wanting to break the amazing kiss she was sharing with Chad. She wondered what had come over him - a few seconds ago, he was acting like he was afraid of being caught, arrested. She felt her chest press against his - even though he was a good half-foot taller than her, it felt like that was what was happening. She couldn't bring herself to open her lips...

And then he started playing with her hair. Normally she would have yanked out a flamethrower and burned the stupid bastard who dared to touch her. And if it was Zeke, she would have killed him. Killed him good. But his kiss made the idea of playing with her hair seem completely normal. It was as if she was forsaking everything unique about her personality. Soon she'd be running around singing songs by American Idol winners and dressing like a prep...

No, she doubted that.

[Zeke Baylor]

Zeke walked back down to the gym. He forgot his East High jacket. As he walked down the stairs he wondered who was wining. Chad or Bebe? Chad. Hands down. Chad was the best basketball player ever. He could dunk, and shoot from behind the net. Get behind the board and shoot and swish, it goes in. He then just sighed and walked quickly down the stairs. He didn’t want to keep confused Emma still confused and lost.


He opened up the red doors and saw Chad and Bebe together kissing. Zeke glared at Chad. He knew that he liked Bebe. He grumbled under his breath. Chad ran his hand through Bebe's hair. Zeke's eyes bugged out at that. Bebe would have killed him. Zeke was going to kill Chad.


He opened his mouth to yell something but nothing came out. He then just glared and walked over to get his jacket. He grabbed it and took one last glare at the two people kissing. He then slammed the red door closed and ran back upstairs.


I hate East High.

[cyelena]

Chad jolted away from Bebe, shocked to hear a door slamming. Had someone just seen them? He was about to enter the "Oh f*ck, was that a teacher?" when he realised that if it had been one, he would have been in so much trouble by then. So it must have been a student. And that didn't matter, because it would soon become public knowledge that he and Bebe were a couple.

"I bet it was some poor, virgin freshmen, and he's now scarred for life." He laughed softly to himself. "But I suppose that's a good thing. I'm sure we have a class to go to." He rolled his eyes. Sometimes (times like this, for example) he really hated school.

He grinned down at Bebe, partially wanting to resume the kiss, and the other half of him actually content with what had happened. His heart still felt light, but he was just... happy to be in her company. Woah, she was doing some real scary things to him!

"So, d'you wanna have lunch with me and the guys today, or do you wanna sit with your friends? I'll save you a seat," he offered, holding her hand now as he picked up his basketball and began to lead her towards the gym's exit. "Hey, which homeroom are you in? Because my bet is that you don't know the school and I suppose I'll just have to be your insanely handsome prince, and walk you to class." He kissed her once more, gently and then grinned widely. "So...?

[Bebe Tenko]

"Lunch? With your guys?" Bebe thought that wasn't such a good idea - Zeke would kill both of them, and although she trusted Chad's judgement, she barely knew Troy, and who knows what he'd do if Zeke blew up? But a bigger part of her said what her mouth spat out - "Of course!"

Bebe kissed Chad quickly. "Well... my next class isn't too far from here. If you really want to take me there... but I didn't hear a -"

The first bell rang, right on cue. "Aw crap. That's the bell. So if you want to walk me to class now..." Bebe smirked. "I can throw a shirt on over this... or I can show up in workout clothes. It's just English."

Then Bebe remembered who was in almost all of her classes, and who had promised to take her to all her classes as a friend. The person at the door became clear to her.

"Oh my God, Chad, I think that was Zeke," Bebe breathed.

[cyelena]

At her acceptance of his lunchtime offer, Chad felt his face break out into a smile. He wasn't actually sure if his friends knew about his and Bebe's relationship officially yet. Yes, they knew he'd taken a girl out on a date, yes they'd known it was Bebe. But it just... wasn't on the map, as such, yet.

He laughed when the bell rang and Bebe used what his mother would call a swear word, but he considered part of everyday language. She was just so... normal. It was awesome!

Chad knew he was grinning a bit like an idiot (hardly anything new there) when Bebe's face dropped. He frowned suddenly, wondering what had caused this look.

"Is, uh, Zeke seeing us a bad thing?" He asked, confused. Admittedly, confusion happened to him a fair bit. But usually he had some idea as to why he was confused. Why was Bebe so worried about Zeke seeing them? "It's not like he'll tell anyone. Unless he wants to tell everyone that I'm finally getting so-" He stopped. He wasn't actually getting some yet, and he didn't really need to bring it up with Bebe yet. Really. They'd only just kissed.

[Bebe Tenko]

"Oh, no it's nothing like that!" Bebe finally petered out after a long period of silence. She didn't know how to explain to Chad that Zeke confessed his love for her, and that she felt nothing, and that things would be... awkward for him. "It's just... that... he... well, he used to like me. Or he still does. I don't really know... I really don't."

Bebe began to shiver. "I just don't know... Chad, people are... Augh! This is why I hate people!"

She covered her mouth hurriedly, and began to try and find an explanation for her sudden outburst. It was a bad one, she could tell. Bebe began looking around frantically, trying to figure out a way to cover up her tracks.

"I didn't - I didn't mean - not YOU, I l -"

Bebe just kept digging herself into a deeper hole, as it were.

[cyelena]

Chad laughed aloud again. Bebe really was something (oh hell, there was that dreaded sappiness coming on again!!)

"Dude, it's okay. I know you love me too much to hate me," he said jokingly, cocky and grinning widely. He threw his arm around her shoulder. "Come on, we have a class to get you to. Man, this'll be awesome. I like, have an excuse to be late!"

"So, English, huh?" He said, nodding. "I hate English." He confessed. "All those... words. It just makes no sense. But you probably like it, huh?" He said, realising that he'd probably just insulted her. He was charming; that didn't mean he was smart.

"Uh, no offense, or anything." He smiled in what he hoped was 'disarming' and prayed he hadn't insulted her. Because really, who got offended over personal preferences.

[Bebe Tenko]

"English... sometimes it gets a bit complicated for me," Bebe admitted, relishing the feeling of Chad's arm around hers. "It's my first language, sure, but my mom speaks nothing but Japanese... balancing two completely different languages... uck! I hate learning them both!"

Bebe giggled. "...What class are you going to, Chad? Wait - are you going to be practicing basketball?" Bebe grinned. "I guess I have to go to the games now, right?"

Bebe put her arm around Chad's waist, not knowing what else to do. She hoped that she wasn't making the situation awkward, but she'd never had a boyfriend, much less walked around with one. Maybe it was one of those things you learned as you went along. She hoped that she was doing all right with it.

[cyelena]

“Of course you have to go to games!” He squawked, “And you totally have to cheer for me. And kiss me when we win. And kiss it all better when we lose. Bebe, as my girlfriend, you should totally understand this kind of thing!” He told her seriously before grinning. “Nah, you don’t. But it’d be pretty cool. All the girls sit together and squeal whenever we do cool stuff. Or, yanno, you could sit with someone else?”

“But Japanese, huh? That’s pretty cool! I can say ‘You look like a monkey’s butt’ in Spanish, but that’s about it.” He laughed and tightened his arm. Wow, she’d like, hugged back. This whole relationship thing was really tripping him out. But he had to say, he liked it.

“I got Gym next, which is pretty cool. Bolton and I get along. He’s pretty strict in basketball, but in class he’s the coolest guy around. Troy’s pretty lucky, I reckon.” Whereas, he, on the other hand, still had no clue where his father lived; nor did he care.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe laughed as Chad explained the sacred duties of basketball players' girlfriends. "So basically my job is to kiss you at games and squeal like a fan girl? Can do, can do!" Bebe giggled airily before planting a kiss on Chad's cheek. "But as for sitting with someone else... I'm gonna sit with the girls, man. Ain't no other man, right?"

Bebe flinched. She probably sounded like the most out-of-it girl ever born. She wasn't used to talking to people anyway, and the new 'boyfriend' development was quite the challenge.

"I'm sorry, that probably sounded really dumb," Bebe admitted with a weak smile. "Sometimes I just... sound really dumb."

"I bet Coach Bolton's pretty cool... I've never met him, I can't really say anything," Bebe shrugged. "I mean, Darbus hates him, and I try to keep on her good side..." Bebe smirked. "So... I know you probably won't try out for the musical... but you will come see it, right? Even if I'm not in it? Because I build all the sets and I design the lights and everything... without me they'll be toast. But I'm training this new kid to do all the lighting and sets and stuff..."
