The Fifth Wheel

Prologue

George Shawn here. A-class student, varsity champion and smokin’… or at least I wish I was. Unfortunately, I’m no Kristopher Rome with his brown hair that has golden highlights when the sunshine illuminates his perfect self and electric blue eyes. I personally think that too much perfection is just… well… sickening. But then again, I’m not the one with the flock of girls (or guys) running after me, screaming my name… Not that I’m jealous or anything pathetic like that. I mean I have no reason to be.

But anyway…

One flaw Kristopher Rome has (a flaw in my eyes anyway) is that his head is too big for his shoulders – and considering he’s an athlete, his shoulders are no small things. But I’m the only one who thinks that. After all, I was the one with Marie Flynn when she cried her heart out until she finally moved away to forget the person who took her virginity before moving onto a model. To Rome, it was probably “what’s a naïve virgin to an experienced model?” Especially if the model was an underwear model – too young to be doing that kind of modelling in my opinion but again, who cares? So, yes, this flaw may be insignificant to others but to me, it’s a BIG thing. Again, not that anyone cares.

Now Frederick Evans is slightly better than Kristopher Rome. Rich (even richer than Rome!), smart (most likely valedictorian candidate) and golden boy looks with ash blond hair and blue-green eyes would make him a very threatening rival for Rome if it wasn’t for the fact that he was boring. Granted, boring is a harsh and inaccurate word. Quiet is more like it. That might not be a problem for most people and a lot of girls even dig the quiet type but the thing is – he’s too quiet. Talk to him and he wouldn’t even look at you or move. He would just sit there, staring into nothing. At first, teachers thought that they could get a word out of him. After all, he had flawless grades. But still, he would just sit there and… be there…

Though, there are the rare times when he would speak up and these are momentous events when everyone would just fall silent and listen. He’s actually very polite when talking and when he smiles…

Ears, people… Watch out for your ears. If the female voice can make glass shatter, it can sure as hell make your eardrums shatter. You wouldn’t want to become deaf now would you?

Of course not.

Moving on.

Ah, one of my personal favourites… Gareth Moran. Who could ever forget about or ignore Gareth Moran, the typical bad boy – the hot, mysterious enigma with a massive attitude. The dark hair, dark eyes and naturally tan skin don’t hurt with his fans. In fact, I think those are the reasons he has fans. They can’t possibly actually like that attitude! I just don’t understand chicks that go out looking for heartache. Are they emotional masochists who get a real turn on with getting their heart trampled on? Well, not my business.

His flaw? Haven’t I pointed it out already? His good points are also his flaws. Who else can pull something that contradictory off? He obviously can.

So what am I getting at with these three?

It might be obvious that they have nothing in common. Well, except for good looks… and brains… and all the fan girls… Well, damn me! They do have a lot of things in common! But taking all that aside, one is a bigheaded playboy, one is a mute golden boy and the third is a mean bad boy. They probably stay far away from each other, right?

Well, they’re actually friends. Wow! Amazing! But true nonetheless. They don’t exactly hang out together much anymore and the reason for that?

Melissa Hart.

Beautiful, smart, saintly Melissa Hart. She’s the type of popular girl who has guys falling over her feet and behaving just to get her to glance at them. But she’s the type of girl to get down on the dirt to help someone who dropped a pen. She has a big heart. Like I said, she’s perfect! Everyone loves her!

More importantly, those three love her.

Yeah… Three very different, yet “perfect” guys loving one perfect girl.

So now, Melissa Hart is at the centre of a love diamond any girl would commit genocide to be in.

But then a new contender entered… One who can actually go against the others within the diamond! So now, instead of a four-sided diamond, we have a five-sided pentagon! Geez! What a complication! What drama! You gotta feel sorry for the unlucky fella who got dragged into it… It’s sad how one does not know what one is getting into… The poor, poor unaware innocent…

But DAMN it!

Why did it have to be me?!

A/N: I KNOW! A NEW ONE! But I just can’t help it! And at least you know I’m not dead… Hehe…

I’m sure most of my loyal readers would find George’s last name VERY familiar! Yes! George is related to Devon! The question is… HOW. But it’s not that complicated a relationship so you all would probably guess it. Anyway…

Please review and tell me what you think!
