Chapter 3: Michelle's Untold Story

The next night on Saturday and Naomi got ready to go. Jack and Ricardo came in with Lucas and the crew. Ricardo said, "I'm sorry about bringing my friends." Jack said, "Just remember the next time." Ricardo said, "It's just that I thought I can bring my friends over." Lucas said, "We get it." Audrey said, "Just make sure you tell your friends not to come and Naomi has something important to give to you then make sure you stay before we leave." Ricardo said, "Right. I'll remember that next time and I promise." Sabrina said, "You better." Jack said, "Hey beautiful baby girl." Naomi said, "I'm coming." Naomi came downstairs and Ricardo looks at Naomi. Ricardo asked, "Who are you? What happened to the Naomi that Michelle always bullies?" Naomi blushes and said, "Well, you're really cute and handsome like my boyfriend." Ricardo looks surprised and Naomi feels like she just embarrassed herself. Audrey said, "Oh Naomi, you did a nice pickup lines." Jack said, "Anyways, we have to go." Ricardo said, "Uh yeah." They all walk out and Lucas shuts the door. They walked to school and they all made it to the school. Ricardo got in to the car and he drove to the school. He finally arrived and he parked the car. Ricardo got out and he walks over to the gang. Ricardo said, "Guys, just go on in and I don't want nobody to see us walking inside together." Naomi said, "We can do that." Ricardo said, "Naomi, we need to talk." Lucas said, "We'll come back out when you need us." Naomi said, "Thanks." Lucas and the crew went inside. Naomi said, "I'm sorry about that pickup lines and I'm not really -" Ricardo grabs Naomi's waist and he kiss Naomi for the first time. Naomi couldn't let go of Ricardo and Ricardo pulls away as he went back to making out. Naomi pulls away and Ricardo said, "Oh my God." Naomi said, "Ricardo, I can't believe that you kiss me and I -" Ricardo said, "You probably didn't think that I was ready for this." Naomi said, "No I didn't and I guess that you really like me." Ricardo said, "I can't do this again and you're not going to tell anyone about this except for your friends." Naomi said, "Ricardo, cross my heart and I could never do that to you." Ricardo said, "Maybe one day that the drama will end but not now." Naomi said, "It needs to and I'm so tired for being put down for too long." Ricardo said, "I know that you are but you know how we are and I hope you understand that." Naomi said, "I do and I don't." Ricardo said, "Naomi, please tell me what's wrong." Naomi said, "I can't and you would laugh at me." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I wouldn't laugh at you and just tell me what's wrong." Naomi said, "My parents and I were on our way to our family reunion at the park. I saw someone who's driving at the underage of 16 and it hit us. My window was wide open and I flew out. The car kept going as my parents were still in there and it landed all the way to the bottom as the car was facing down." Ricardo said, "Oh my God." Naomi said, "I still have this scar on this left side of my forehead and my parents died after I woke up." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I'm so sorry for your loss and I can't believe how you flew out of the window from the car." Naomi said, "I know and I couldn't remember anything about my parents. Your parents came to see me at the hospital and told me what happened to them." Ricardo said, "I thought that's where they were going and I'm really glad that you survived." Naomi said, "Me too." Ricardo said, "You think that you wanted to have kids." Naomi said, "Well, I was thinking about it and it would be nice to have one." Ricardo smirks and he starts kissing Naomi's neck. Naomi said, "Ricardo." Ricardo kept on and on. Naomi said, "Ricardo." Ricardo pulls away and said, "Yeah." Naomi said, "You want to call this night." Ricardo said, "I don't want to end this night and I want to have a baby." Naomi said, "Look Ricardo, I can't do this right now and I don't want one right now." Ricardo said, "Please Naomi, I really don't want you to be invited to parties and I don't want you to be hurt by my friends." Naomi said, "At least I made the most embarrassing pickup lines ever." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I actually like it and you didn't have to be embarrassed." Naomi asked, "Wait, did you think it was terrible?" Ricardo said, "No way Naomi. That was the best pickup lines ever and I was wondering if you want to date me." Naomi said, "I know that this is a trick, Ricardo and you're just like everyone else that already try me. I'm not falling for that again and you can quit playing games with me. Maybe I'm already a joke to everyone says that about me and I know you enjoyed that to hurt me." Ricardo is shocked and he couldn't believe how Naomi really felt. Ricardo asked, "Can I ask you something?" Naomi said, "No." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I'm trying to ask you something." Naomi asked, "Is it the same questions about me which you can forget about it?" Ricardo said, "Naomi, I want you to listen to me." Naomi asked, "What more do you want from me?" Ricardo said, "Naomi, I don't want to lose you." Naomi looks at Ricardo and said, "I know this is a trick." Ricardo said, "Dammit." Naomi said, "You just want to use me or trying to impressed Michelle." Ricardo got so irritated and said, "Naomi, that's enough." Naomi said, "No." Ricardo asked, "How the hell do you even know what I will do to you?" Naomi said, "I know these things and you already ask me that since last year." Ricardo said, "Holy shit." Ricardo sat down on the bench and Naomi said, "Ricardo, I know that you never like me but all of this is the same stuff like before and it was really getting out of hand." Naomi sat down right next to Ricardo and Ricardo said, "I know and I don't want to ruined your life. I know better not to act like this towards you and I just want to have kids." Naomi said, "You have a car." Ricardo smirks and said, "It's right over there." Naomi said, "You want to have kids." Ricardo said, "I'm not making you if you don't want to." Naomi said, "I'm begging for a baby." Ricardo said, "I'm sure you will be a great mom." Naomi said, "I want to be there for the kids." Ricardo picks Naomi up and he carries her to his car. He opens the back door and he lay Naomi down. Naomi asked, "Wait, are you sure that you're not going to tell Michelle about this?" Ricardo said, "Naomi, I promise that I won't and just don't worry about it." Ricardo got in and he shuts the door. Naomi said, "I don't know if we should do this." Ricardo said, "Naomi, you just need to relax and I think we're just getting things started." Naomi said, "I hope that I'll be able to be happy when everything changed." Ricardo said, "You will and no matter how I really feel about you then you will see what kind of guy I am." Naomi said, "I know what you will say tom-" Ricardo said, "Naomi, please stop saying that and I don't want to hear this anymore." Naomi said, "I mean it Ricardo and I don't want to be hurt by Michelle anymore." Ricardo said, "I know and I really hope you keep the baby safe." Naomi said, "I know I will and I wouldn't lose the baby for anything." Ricardo starts having sex with Naomi and he felt like this is what he wanted. Two hours passed, Ricardo button up his pants and Naomi felt happy. Ricardo said, "Naomi, I won't trick you like before and don't keep saying that I will trick you." Naomi said, "I'm done." Naomi got up and she tries to open the door. Ricardo holds on the door tight and said, "Naomi, I don't know why you have to say that." Naomi said, "I really don't want anymore hate and I want to be at the prom like everyone else." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I don't want you." Naomi said, "See, I told you so and I have to go." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I told you to stop." Naomi said, "Just let me go." Ricardo said, "Fine. Have it your way." Naomi said, "And note this, I didn't do anything wrong and all of the rumors about me is not true." Ricardo felt irritated again and said, "Just fucking go." Ricardo let go of the door and Naomi got out. She grabbed her slippers and starts walking. Ricardo shuts the door and he felt like he should've listened to Naomi. Ricardo got out of the car and he shuts the door. He went after Naomi and Naomi felt like she's done. Ricardo said, "Naomi, wait." Naomi turns around and Ricardo came over to Naomi. Ricardo said, "You win and I lose." Naomi asked, "Ricardo, what are you talking about?" Ricardo said, "Naomi, you and your friends were right about me. I shouldn't be acting like this and I don't want you to tell me anything about what my friends are doing." Naomi said, "Listen Ricardo, we're not the ones whose doing this." Ricardo asked, "Wait, if you guys didn't do it then who's doing this?" Naomi said, "Mr. Preston, Miss Song, Mr. Omar, the teachers, the parents, and counselors." Ricardo asked, "How the hell they know about this? Did Mr. Preston told on everything to our parents?" Naomi said, "Yes and they were getting more information by Mr. Preston not us." Ricardo asked, "Is that everything?" Naomi said, "Yeah." Ricardo said, "Goddammit." Naomi said, "If you don't want to be in trouble, we can have a talk with Mr. Preston and I'm not sure if he can trust you." Ricardo said, "Please Naomi, I don't want to hurt you anymore." Naomi asked, "Are you going to trick me again?" Ricardo said, "Naomi, that's enough for you to say that I will fucking trick you. I'm tired of you saying that and you have a problem of saying that I will trick you." Naomi said, "Oh so now you're saying that I got a problem for saying that and I don't because you wanna know why. You were the one who gave me a lot of hell after all of these years and I did nothing to you but only for being honest to you." Ricardo said, "Oh really because you can't handle for being the one that no one likes minus your friends." Naomi said, "Ricardo, that's because of you and your disgusting friends did all of this. I will demand all of the drama to be banned permanently." Ricardo looks at Naomi in a death glare and said, "You think that will happen and you see what happens." Naomi said, "I don't think so and Mr. Preston won't believe you. I know that he will be start making more phone calls." Ricardo said, "Alright fine. I won't do this to you anymore." Naomi said, "I don't know Ricardo and I just don't want anymore hate." Ricardo said, "I won't Naomi and please, listen to me." Naomi said, "I just can't." Ricardo said, "If anything goes wrong between you and Jack, I will be waiting for you." Naomi said, "Not going to happen." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I'm being serious about it." Naomi walks away and Ricardo said, "Naomi, I really like you." Naomi stops walking and she turns around. Ricardo came over to Naomi and Naomi said, "You mean that you really like me." Ricardo said, "I really do and I could never hurt you if I did. I want to help you to get through this and I want you to get better." Naomi said, "I really didn't think that you actually like me." Ricardo said, "I really do and I could never get anyone else pregnant except for you." Naomi asked, "Will you be there at the ultrasound?" Ricardo smiles and said, "I will." Ricardo hugs Naomi and Naomi hugs Ricardo. The gang saw them hugging and Audrey said, "Aww." Lucas said, "Ricardo is losing the fight." Jack said, "No shit." Sabrina said, "They're so cute together." Ricardo pulls away from the hug and so did Naomi. Ricardo said, "Let's go to the gym." Naomi said, "Yeah." Ricardo and Naomi went inside of the school. Audrey asked, "What happened?" Ricardo said, "I don't know." Jack said, "You have -" Ricardo said, "Keep it down before my friends might be looking for me and heard what you said." Jack said, "I wasn't talking about that and I was going to say something different." Lucas said, "Not now, Jack." Sabrina said, "I think we can have a party coming up." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I really have something to tell you." Naomi said, "Me too." Ricardo said, "You can go first." Naomi said, "I think or I -" Naomi is feeling sick and she ran to the girls bathroom. Jack asked, "Is Naomi okay?" Naomi went in to the first stall and she ended up puking. Audrey said, "She might have a stomach bug." Ricardo starts to smirk and Jack said, "So, we have to help Naomi." Naomi got up and she flushed the toilet. She went over to the sink and she felt really horrible. Naomi walks out of the girls bathroom and Ricardo said, "Naomi." The gang came over to Naomi and Sabrina said, "You feeling alright." Naomi said, "I look so horrible and I feel like that I'm a monster." Ricardo said, "You're not a monster, Naomi and you look beautiful." Naomi said, "You're lying Ricardo and you just want to make fun of me." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I'm not going to make fun of you and your secret is safe with me." Ricardo bends down a little and kiss Naomi's right cheek as he pulls away. Audrey said, "Aww." Naomi said, "I have a huge crush on you. Oh man, I blew it again." Ricardo said, "Naomi, I don't think so and I think you will know that this guy will always have your back." Sabrina said, "Yay." Audrey said, "Yay." Ricardo said, "But you know, I have to do what I have to do and I'll be there for you." Naomi said, "You will." Ricardo said, "You know me, I have to be with Michelle but it won't be the end of us and I know that I will be there for the ultrasound. I'll be there once you're six months pregnant of our baby and it will be the end of my relationship with Michelle." Lucas asked, "What the actual fuck man?" Ricardo said, "I really don't want anymore trouble." Audrey said, "Lucas, he's not starting anymore trouble and just calm down." Lucas said, "I am calm but I don't know if Michelle is going to like it." Ricardo said, "I actually thought about what I'm going to do and I'm planning on leaving her while she's asleep." Sabrina said, "We really want you to be with Naomi and she does have this huge crush on you." Ricardo said, "I have a crush on you too." Naomi said, "I'm really glad that you do and I wish I can tell my -" Naomi almost burst into tears and Ricardo said, "Naomi, you okay." Naomi is trying not to cry and Ricardo said, "Naomi." Naomi hugs Ricardo and she was finally crying. Ricardo hugs Naomi and said, "Baby girl, it's going to be alright and I know that you miss them. It's not your fault and there's nothing you couldn't done. I will always keep you happy by being there for you and I will do anything for you." Naomi sobs, "I don't want to be here anymore." Ricardo said, "Baby, please don't say that and I will help you." Naomi sobs, "I'm not pretty like everyone says and that's why everyone wants me to leave." Ricardo felt hurt for what Naomi said and he doesn't want Naomi to leave. Ricardo said, "Naomi, I don't want you to leave and you could be just staying in your house forever. I don't want that from you and you're staying here with us." Naomi sobs, "Really sweetie." Ricardo said, "I really do and you're beautiful. I want to help you and you're going to be alright. Your parents would've been so proud of you for taking care of the house and I won't let you down." Naomi stops crying and he rocks Naomi back and forth. Sabrina said, "Aww." Naomi said, "You think that Michelle will find out about what we did." Ricardo said, "Nah. I wouldn't tell her anything about us and I want you in my life." Jack said, "I'm not sure if Michelle is at the gym." Lucas said, "Let's go." The gang went to go find Michelle and they saw Michelle kissing Thor. Audrey took a picture of Michelle and Thor. Ricardo is now facing the truth about Michelle and they all walk passed Michelle as they went inside. Ricardo said, "I better get this party started." Ricardo walks over to the the stage and he walks up the steps. Lucas said, "We can get everything ready by Monday." Audrey said, "I'll send you the picture for proof." Lucas said, "This will teach Michelle a lesson on how not to cheat." Ricardo came over to the microphone and said, "Hey guys, I have a special song that I will be singing for tonight." Ricardo starts to sing one of his songs and it was called Take Me All, All Back. Naomi walks over to the stage and she was enchanted with the song. Audrey said, "Let's go over to see Naomi." Jack said, "Let's go." The gang came over to Naomi and Sabrina said, "I love this song." Cassie saw the gang and Chris asked, "Cassie, what are you looking at?" Roger said, "Oh shit." Mikayla said, "Ricardo seems to be acting strange since today." Olivia asked, "Did he got into a fight with Jack?" Max said, "He probably did and Jack must've got a black eyed for not being able to fight with our man." Cassie said, "Naomi will never be beautiful and I think she's just an ugly girl who can't learn how to leave." Michelle and Thor stop making out. Thor said, "We better go inside." Michelle said, "Yeah." Thor and Michelle went inside of the gym. Michelle said, "There's something fishy going in here." Thor asked, "What was I suppose to do again?" Michelle said, "You'll see the surprise at the homecoming prom." Thor said, "We will see the fun." Michelle said, "Oh, we will and something that Naomi will never like." The next week of school on Monday, Naomi looks at Jack and she was feeling down. Jack said, "Babe, I know that you like Ricardo." Naomi said, "I know I do and I guess we're better off to be as friends." Jack said, "Of course beautiful baby girl." Audrey said, "You two are so cute together for two years." Jack said, "Yeah and Naomi needs Ricardo more than anything." Lucas said, "I want to be with Naomi and I don't mind." Ricardo felt a little jealous and he knew that he has to keep Naomi safe. Michelle said, "Baby, I know that we can have fun together." Ricardo said, "Not in the mood." The bell rings and everyone went in to their classrooms. Mrs. Marquez is impressed with Naomi's story and Ricardo looks at his story. Mrs. Marquez said, "Naomi, you will be joining the writing contest this time." Ricardo said, "I don't know how I got this grade." Mrs. Marquez said, "You need to fix this and try to think of something really good like Naomi is doing." Naomi said, "I better get going." Mrs. Marquez said, "Alrighty dear, have fun." Naomi said, "Thank you so much." Ricardo said, "Naomi, please stay." Olivia asked, "What was that Ricardo?" Mrs. Marquez said, "No talking." Naomi said, "Sorry, I have to go." Naomi pack up her stuff and she got up. She walks out and met up with her friends and went to detention room. Ricardo said, "Mrs. Marquez." Mrs. Marquez said, "Yes dear." Ricardo asked, "Can I get something from my locker?" Mrs. Marquez said, "Of course you can." Ricardo got up and he walks out of the classroom. Naomi and her friends starts making the short film. Ricardo went to his locker and he heard what Naomi said. Naomi and her friends are finished filming. Lucas starts editing the video and Ricardo almost shut the locker door and he saw another note. He saw what it says and it was from Lucas.
Ricardo,
I know that you saw Michelle kissing but there's more to the story and you'll find out until tonight at the talent show.
Lucas
Ricardo shuts his locker door and he is relieved to know the truth. Lucas is done editing the video and Naomi uploaded the video. Jack said, "You think that everyone will know the truth." Audrey said, "Everyone will." The video is done processed and Naomi clicked on the video. Ricardo saw Naomi's video and he clicked on it. Mr. Issac clicked on the video and he watched the video. He sent the video to everyone and Ricardo watch the video. Ricardo sat down on the floor and he recognized the exact same sayings. He got to the emotional part and he broke down into tears. Ricardo knew that's how Naomi felt and Mr. Issac is tears. Everyone from the whole school is in tears and even their parents are in tears. Ricardo felt like that he's hurt by letting all of this happened to Naomi and he couldn't believe what he done to Naomi. Later that night, Naomi is wanting to be nominated for prom queen and she really hope that she's the one for Ricardo. Naomi came downstairs and Ricardo knocks on the door. Naomi opens the door and Ricardo said, "Hey baby girl." Naomi said, "I would call you daddy if I were to be pregnant by now." Ricardo chuckles and said, "Yeah and you can be a beautiful mommy." Naomi said, "I just really hope that you will know who this Nay Nay LPS is." Ricardo said, "She sounded just like you and her pink nail polish." Naomi said, "Yeah she does." Ricardo said, "Let's go to the talent show baby." Naomi said, "I'm really looking forward to." Ricardo and Naomi went to the school for the talent show. Naomi got up on the stage and she walks up the steps. She walks over to the microphone and so did Ricardo. Naomi starts singing, "You Can Fly To My Heart" as Mr. Preston, Mrs. Preston, Miss Song, Mrs. Omar and Mr. Omar stood there. They heard that beautiful song from Naomi's mother and they remembered it. They all clapped for Naomi and Ricardo felt happy for her. Ricardo said, "Alright guys, we have another song for you guys." Ricardo and Naomi starts sing a song called "Knowing We're In Love" as Michelle is getting mad. Lucas is done editing the video and they all clapped for them. Ricardo and Naomi were so happy for singing together. Lucas send the video to everyone and Ricardo grabbed his phone. He saw the notification and he clicked on it. Ricardo saw the video and he looks at Michelle. Mr. Preston plays the video and the whole school watch the video. There were slideshow of Michelle cheating on Ricardo and Michelle is in trouble. The video ended and Ricardo is angry. Ricardo looks at Michelle and asked, "What the hell have you done?" Michelle said, "Very funny." Ricardo angrily, "Michelle, I saw you kissing Thor before we came to the gym and you got pregnant by him." Mikayla said, "Naomi did this." Naomi asked, "What are you talking about?" Cassie said, "You did this." Naomi said, "I don't know what you're talking about." Michelle said, "You did this to me." Lucas said, "Shut your fucking mouth, Michelle. Audrey took the picture of the pregnancy test not Naomi and you have no idea what you did. This is so messed up with you happen to be a bitch and you are not smart at all." Michelle asked, "Are you going to say something?" Ricardo angrily, "Leave me alone." Ricardo picks Naomi up and he walks off the stage. Ricardo walks out the gym and the gang went with them. Michelle is in tears and she knew what she did wrong. The gang went out of the school and Ricardo put Naomi down gently. Naomi said, "Ricardo." Ricardo is still angry and angrily, "I don't want to talk about it." Naomi said, "I just wanted to know if you are ready for wanting to go on a date with -" Ricardo turns around and angrily, "Naomi, I don't want to date Michelle again and I know that she did this to me." Naomi said, "I wasn't talking about her and I was talking about me." Ricardo angrily, "No. Maybe I wasn't clear on the whole thing about dating." Naomi said, "You said that if things goes wrong between me and -" Ricardo angrily, "I said no." Ricardo pushed Naomi and about to punch her. Naomi got scared and she burst into tears. Ricardo calms down and he was scared. Ricardo said, "Oh my God. I -. Oh holy shit." Audrey said, "Ricardo." Ricardo said, "Oh dammit. Dammit. I ruined everything and I don't know who the hell am I turning into." Jack said, "Ricardo, calm down." Lucas asked, "Are you okay?" Naomi is in tears and she was so scared. Sabrina said, "Ricardo, this isn't you and you're turning into Chris." Ricardo said, "Oh my God. I don't know what the hell am I going to do." Jack said, "Just calm down, Ricardo and I'm sure it was an accident. We know that you're scared and it's because that Chris has messed up your mind. He wants you do this for him." Ricardo came over to Naomi and said, "Naomi, I'm so sorry and I shouldn't get so mad at you. It's my fault for acting like Chris and I didn't mean to push you." Ricardo got down on his knees and he hugs Naomi. Naomi hugs Ricardo and she was still in tears. Ricardo said, "Babe, I do want to date you and I'm sorry for my actions. I will never do that ever again and I want to be with you forever." Naomi sobs, "You do." Ricardo said, "I really do baby girl." Ricardo picks Naomi up and he sat Naomi on his lap. Naomi sobs, "I don't ever think you can be crazy with me." Ricardo said, "Only I wanted to be with you forever and I want you to be my beautiful wife." Audrey said, "Aww." Sabrina said, "Aww." Naomi wipes her tears and said, "I don't know Ricardo and I probably will be somewhere else by now." Ricardo said, "Honey pie, I don't want you to do that and you will always be with me no matter what." Naomi pulls away from the hug and she looks at Ricardo. Ricardo wipes Naomi's tears and he kiss Naomi. Audrey said, "Oh my God." Sabrina said, "I knew it." Lucas said, "I told you that Ricardo will kiss Naomi." Jack said, "Just like it should be." Ricardo kept on kissing Naomi and he felt like that Naomi is going to be the for him.
