A Brand New Day
Monday Morning.
Dean & Becky said "goodbye" to each other's parents and they drove to Michelle's house to pick her up.
Becky-''Well, we're gonna have to be each other for an entire college week. And you're gonna be sharing a room with Mick, so you should be ok.''
Dean-''True. But I have to pretend to be you. And you have to be me. Luckily, for you....I don't have a roommate.''
Becky-''Oh, yeah. Your former roommate left college to go help his dad with the family business.''
Dean-''Yeah, he's really happy about it too. Never wanted to do college anyway.''
Becky-''Ok.''
They pulled up to Michelle's house and Becky honked the truck horn.
Dean-''Oh, man. So close to Mick and I can't even hold her hand.''
Becky-''Don't worry, Dean. This'll be over soon.''
Dean-''Thanks. Sorry, I guess you feel the same way about Seth?''
Becky nodded.
Becky-''But like I said, it'll all be over before we know it.''
They bumped fists as Michelle walked up to the truck.
Michelle-''Hey, guys.''
Michelle kissed Becky. Dean ran his fingers through his orange hair trying to ingore what he just saw.
Becky smiled nervously at Michelle and then Michelle climbed onto the bed of the truck.
Dean-''Oh, man.''
They drove off to college.
College
When they arrived, they all walked off separately to their dorm rooms. Their first class today only started at 10am.
Becky walked into Dean's room and dropped her bag on the bed as she sighed.
Xavier-''I thought I saw you arrive, buddy.''
Becky turned to see Xavier, Kofi & Big E.
Becky-''Hey, guys.''
Kofi-''How was your weekend, bro?''
Becky-''Good. Different, but good.''
Xavier-''Is Mick back?''
Becky-''Oh, yeah. They got home last night and we all had dinner with her family.''
Big E-''That's awesome. We should have lunch today and hear all about her trip.''
Becky-''Cool.''
They all smiled and bumped fists as Dean & Michelle walked into her & Becky's room and dropped their bags on their beds.
Michelle-''So, how was your weekend with Dean?''
Michelle sat down on her bed.
Michelle-''Dean said you guys hung out most of the time.''
Dean-''Oh, yeah. We uh, hung out at her place because both of her parents couldn't go on their trip and so we had an interesting conversation with my parents. Well, I did with my mum, and Dean had one with my dad.''
Michelle-''That sounds cool. Your parents always give good advice on things.''
Dean-''Thanks. It uh....*sits down on Becky's bed* I actually talked to my mum about this whole Seth situation. It really opened my eyes with what she told me.''
Michelle-''Oh, ok.''
Dean-''Dean had the exact same conversation with my Dad. It opened his eyes too on how it is for him. I'm sure he'll talk to you about it today. He didn't want to spoil your night coming home last night.''
Michelle-''Ok. Does Dean see the situation different now?''
Dean-''He does a little bit. But he remains angry at Seth for what he did to you.''
Michelle-''Ok.''
Michelle looked down at the floor.
Dean-''Are you ok, Mick?''
Michelle slowly looked up.
Michelle-''I just... *sighs* Sometimes I feel like it's my fault that they're not friends anymore.''
Dean-''Why? What happened wasn't your fault.''
Michelle-''I know. But I don't want to be the one to come between two guys who were as close as brothers. If Dean never forgives Seth, I'll feel like it was partly my fault.''
Dean had no idea Michelle felt this way.
Dean-''I'm sure I-....Dean will find it in himself to forgive Seth one day. You know Dean is too lazy to hold a grudge.''
They chuckled.
Michelle-''I don't know about that. But thanks, Becky.''
Dean-''No problem.''
They bumped fists and smiled. Then they heard a knock on the door and Paige & AJ Lee walked in.
AJ-''Hey, girls!''
Michelle-''Hey.''
Paige-''Hello, ladies.''
Dean sarcastically smiled at Paige.
Dean-''What brings you two here?''
AJ-''Well, everyone wants to hear about Mick's camping trip at lunch today. You gonna join us, Becky?''
Dean-''I would love to.''
Michelle-''Awesome. I'd love to tell everyone about the scary stories we told each other by the campfire.''
AJ-''Yay! See you girls in class. Bye.''
AJ & Paige left as Michelle smiled at them and Dean sighed under his breath.
At Lunch.
The group was sitting outside on the grass laughing and talking about Michelle's camping trip with her brothers and her dad.
Michelle-''Well, apart from all the ghost stories and smores ending up in my hair *everyone chuckled* I had the best time with my family.''
Everyone smiled.
Xavier-''That's awesome, Mick.''
Michelle-''How was the Halloween party?''
Kofi-''It was really great! We had beer games and Sami & Big E had a sword fight.''
Michelle-''Awesome. Who won the sword fight?''
Big E-''I did.''
Sami-''You cheated.''
Big E-''You were a pirate. You're just mad because I ended up beating you by cheating before you did.''
Sami-''Well, that's probably true.''
Everyone laughed.
AJ-''Oh, ladies. Don't forget that it's Girls Night tonight.''
Dean's eyes went wide.
Punk-''And while the girls have their night, we are gonna have Guys Night tonight.''
Becky & Dean looked at each other in shock.
AJ-''Mick, I know you don't usually do girls night, but please join us tonight? We're gonna watch horror movies.''
Michelle-''I'll think about it.''
AJ-''Ok. Becky, you better convince her to join us.''
Dean-''I'll try.''
Michelle smiled.
After classes was done for the day, Dean texted Becky to meet him by his truck. Dean was leaning against the front of his truck as Becky walked up to him.
Dean-''How are we gonna be each other at Girls & Guys Night?''
Becky-''I have no clue. I have to be around Seth all evening as you and you're suppose to hate his guts. How in the world am I gonna pretend to hate my boyfriend?''
Dean-''Well, you don't even have to talk to him. That'll actually make things less awkward for you because he'll avoid you too.''
Becky-''I guess you're right.''
Becky leaned against the truck next to Dean.
Dean-''Listen, I've been thinking a lot about what your mum told me. And earlier today Mick told me that she feels like it's partly her fault that Seth & I aren't friends anymore.''
Becky-''That's ridiculous. It wasn't her fault.''
Dean-''That's what I told her, but she feels bad.''
Becky-''So, what do you want me to do tonight? You said you were thinking about what my mom said.''
Dean-''I know the words should technically come from me, but could you do me a favour?''
Becky-''What is it?''
Dean-''I'm thinking about putting everything that happened that night behind us. Mostly because of how Mick is feeling about the whole situation.''
Becky-''Ok.''
Dean-''It should all come from me though. So, tell Seth that I want to talk to him one on one this weekend.''
Becky-''Oh, right. After the spell is over.''
Dean-''Right.''
Becky-''I'll do my best.''
Dean-''Thanks.''
Dean & Becky bumped fists.
Becky-''And what about you? How are you gonna handle talking about girly shit tonight?''
Dean-''I won't have to. I'll have Mick by my side.''
Becky-''You have to convince her to go.''
Dean-''I'll figure out a way.''
Becky-''Are you gonna beg her?''
Dean-''No! I have more dignity than that.''
A Few Moments Later....
Dean was on his knees holding onto Michelle's legs as he looked up at her.
Dean-''Mick, please?!''
Michelle-''Becky, what has gotten into you?''
Michelle couldn't believe that, who she thought was Becky, was begging her to go to Girls Night.
Dean-''Please, please, please, please, please, please, please?!''
Michelle-''Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok!''
Dean-''*Surprised* Really?''
Michelle-''Yes, I'll-''
Dean-''YES!!''
Dean stood up and kissed Michelle on her lips! Dean backed away realising what he just did and how it actually looked to Michelle.
Dean-''I....''
Michelle-''Did you just-''
Dean-''I might've.''
Michelle-''Ok.''
Dean smiled nervously at her.
Dean-''You good?''
Michelle-''Yeah. Hey, we better get ready for that party.''
Dean-''Right.''
Michelle headed for the bathroom.
Michelle-''By the way, if I wasn't straight....I wouldn't let you get away.''
Dean smiled as Michelle smirked and went into the bathroom.
Dean-''Wow. That is so sexy.''
Dean smiled and got ready for the party.
