Chapter 3

As friends and classmates welcome Khrystyna and Tanya and the others who injured in the explosion the night of the prom, Jerry looks on, with revenge on his mind. He can't believe how nobody pays attention to him except to bully and make fun of him. Well, he is tired of everyone making fun of him, and he intends to make them sorry for all the cruel jokes they have all played on him.

Marshall pulls Tanya to the the side of the hallway where no one can see them as he gives Tanya a heartfelt kiss.

"Gee, I'm so glad you're alright!" Marshall tells Tanya.

"I'm so glad you found me when you did. I really thought I was going to die."

"I wasn't going to give up until I found you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."

"You really like me?"

"I think I'm starting to fall in love with you, Tanya."

"But what about Khrystyna?"

"She's in the past. Besides, she's got Tyler. She just doesn't know it yet."

Tanya wraps her arms around Marshall and plants a big kiss on his lips. She doesn't want this moment to end, ever. But, alas, Khrystyna is saddened when she spies Marshall in a warm embrace with Tanya.     

Thinking to herself, "That should be me, Marshall is kissing. D****t, Tanya, why do you always ruin everything for me?"

Just then, Tyler comes from behind Khrystyna, startling her.

"D****t, Tyler, what do you want!?"

"Just wondering what you are doing?"

"Nothing!"

"Hey, Khrys, will you have dinner with me tonight?"

"Uh, gee, Tyler, I'm kinda busy tonight."

"O. K. Never mind then." Tyler says, looking sullen.

Khrystyna walks off to her class by herself as Tyler tells himself that he will find a way to get Khrystyna to fall for him.
