Title: "Looking Back"
Author's Note: Hey! Don't worry I'm still working on Reuniting With
Problems part 5. But Great Carolyn came up with this idea of this
story while she was working ever so hard in school. So she told me it
was all mine. Thanks Carolyn.
Summary: This is going back to when the WHOLE firm was in High School
and for the sake of this story lets say they went to the same High
School. Bobby, Eugene, Jimmy & Ellenor are all seniors and Lindsay,
Lucy, Helen and Bec are all Sophmores,oh yeah and Chris and Andrea
are seniors too!
Disclaimer: They aren't mine except for the ones I make up.
"Looking Back"
"Bobby!" Eugene screamed running after his High School buddy. Bobby turned around.
"Hey Eugene, what's up man?"
"Nothing, hey you bringing Andrea to the homecoming?"
"Yeah, I think so, you bringing Sharon?"
"I don't think so her and I are fighting."
"Again? Sorry man."
"It's okay." Lindsay walks by with her little "group" She is
the "popular" one, Bobby turns his eyes to her forgetting the
other girls in "her" group.
"What you looking at Bobby? Don't tell me its them."
"What's wrong with them, I like the cute little blonde with the short
skirt, I think she's the little "leader" of that group."
"You're pathetic, what do you like her for? You got Andrea."
"Yeah, but Andrea likes ME I don't like her that much anymore."
"Well, go get her."
"No, she always goes down to the hang out after school, I'll talk to
her then."
"She's taken man."
"How do you know?"
"Look at her!"
"Yeah, your probably right. I still like her, it's worth something."
Bell rings.
"C'mon man let's get Ellenor and Jimmy we got gym next."
"Okay." All the while they're talking Lindsay is ignoring her little
group huddled by the lockers and is staring right at Bobby.
"Lindsay? Lindsay? LINDSAY?" Lucy was trying to get her attention.
"Huh?" She was still in a space out look.
"We have to go to Algebra."
"Oh yeah right." They both walked off to Algebra. After gym & algebra
Lindsay was headed to lunch, and she was eating with all seniors
because of her extra credit class so none of her friends were there,
so she had no one to sit with. On top of that she ran out the door
this morning without her lunch. Bobby noticed this and walked over
toher, nervous.
"Hi." He tried to act normal.
"Ummm... Hi" She was nervous and smiling.
"Do you uh ... want to sit at my table?"
"Thanks, I don't know anyone here." They were walking towards his
table.
"I'm Bobby." She finally knew his name.
"My name is Lindsay." I love that name he thought.
"That's a pretty name." She blushed and he noticed.
"Umm... Thanks." They got to the table and he introduced Lindsay to
everyone, Eugene, Jimmy, Ellenor, Jason and Andrea who had
her friend Beckie there. Lindsay was immediately uncomfortable when
Andrea went up to Bobby.
"Bobby, why did you let HER sit here?" She whispered, but Lindsay
heard.
"Because I wanted too, she doesn't know anyone and she seems really
really sweet."
"Sweeter then me?" She said in a little girl's voice. Lindsay was
still listening.
"Andrea, you're not sweet at all, even though I don't know her she
seems very sweet." Lindsay smiled at that comment.
"What do you mean I'm not sweet?" She was yelling a little now.
"Well, you've got more of that 'I don't care about you, or I don't
have to be nice if I don't know you' kind of attitude. Whereas
Lindsay is so sweet towards everyone even if she doesn't know them."
"Whatever." She went and sat down pouting.
"C'mon Lindsay." Bobby guided her near his seat. She sat to his left
and Andrea HAD to sit to his right, she sat quietly and Bobby
noticed that she didn't have a lunch and he had brought his today,
so he offered her his lunch. "Do you want some of my lunch?"
"It's okay, I was running late and ran out the door without it."
"Well, I packed a big lunch so I'll share." Andrea was getting mad
and said,
"You never share your lunch with me when I forget my lunch."
"Well, half the time I don't have a lunch and the other half of the
time you have money and pretend you forgot your lunch." He was trying
to keep his voice low. Andrea just grumbled and started talking
back with Beckie.
"Here, I have a sandwich, I'll split it with you, and I have a bag of
fritos I'll share and I have some carrots and green peppers, plus a
can of Diet Coke we can share."
"Okay thanks." She was still really nervous.
"So what brings you to a seniors lunch?" Eugene was trying to liven
things up a bit.
"Well, I am taking an honors course with seniors so I am taking
seniors lunch too." She was starting to mellow in and get to know
everyone. She and Bobby shared his sandwich and chips and veggies.
"So you're a sophomore?" Bobby wanted to get to know her.
"Yeah."
"What class is it that your taking with the seniors?"
"It's a chemistry class."
"Really? Is it next period?" He asked hopeful.
"Yeah why?"
"Well, I'm in the same class." He was really happy.
"Cool, is Andrea in that class?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah, but she's not likely to help you so I'll sit with you and help
you."
"Okay thanks." The bell rang and they all got up from the table and
threw their garbage out. Bobby had completely ignored
Andrea and she was very upset over this. Lindsay and Bobby were
walking to her locker when she heard her name.
"Lindsay!" She and Bobby turned around. It was Chris Kelton.
"Hi Chris." She said. "Umm... Chris this is Bobby... Bobby this is---"
"I know who Bobby is." Chris chimed in wanting to know what
his "girlfriend" was doing with Bobby.
"Yeah I know Chris." Bobby said, also wanting to know how Lindsay and
Chris knew each other."So how do you know Bobby?"
"Well, we're in the same chemistry class and I had lunch with seniors
too."
"Why didn't you sit with me?"
"Well, Bobby asked me if I wanted to sit with him."
"You just met him, I'm your boyfriend." Bobby's face dropped, Lindsay
was embarrassed.
"Chris I've told you over and over I don't want to be with you
anymore." Now Chris was embarrassed.
"Well, whatever, I'll call you tonight." He walked off to class.
"Sorry he still thinks I like him."
"So you don't?" There was hope in Bobby's voice.
"No, I can't stand him." Lindsay started getting her books out of her
locker.
"Do we need to stop at your locker?"
"No, I'll just share a book with you."
"Okay let's go." She smiled. Bobby and Lindsay sat in the back row
in Chemistry.
There were two people to each bench.
"For your homework you guys are to do an at home partner lab. It will
be due at the end of next week. You will be working with the people
sitting next to you." The bell rang.
"What do you want to do Lindsay?"
"Well, we could go over my house tonight and start on it and go from
there."
"Okay sounds great, let me give you my number." He was so happy he
would be able to go over her house. Bobby gave her his number.
"Okay, I'll call you when I get home." She was starting to walk the
other way.
"Okay see ya later Lindsay."
"Bye." The rest of the day went on slow for both Lindsay and Bobby.
Finally last period and the dismissal bell rang. All Lindsay's
friends gathered around her locker and at Bobby's locker, "Bobby!"
Andrea was trying to get his attention.
"What?" He turned around.
"Where are you taking me tonight?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Hello! Its our anniversary!"
"We have one?" Bobby asked curious.
"Yeah, what do you mean we have one? its been a year!" She was
getting even more upset.
"Well, I can't. I've got to get together with Lindsay at her house
and work on a project."
"So you are going to forget about our HAPPY anniversary to go to that
girl's house who you don't even know."
"Yeah, because Lindsay is a really nice girl, I want to get to know
her and as for a HAPPY anniversary I would barely call it that!" With
that said he walked down the hall and to his silver Audi his Aunt,
Grandma and Father had chipped in to get him for Senior year.
Lindsay walked in the front door of her Cambridge modern style
mansion. "MA!" She yelled trying to find her. Her mother came in the
front foyer.
"Hello sweetheart, how was school?"
"Fine, it was good." She put her stuff right in the foyer. "Can one
of my friends come over to work on our project for Chemistry?"
"Well, I don't see why not, why don't you invite her over for dinner
too."
"Actually, it's a guy."
"Oh, really what's his name?" Her Mom wasn't too happy.
"Bobby." Lindsay was all chirppy.
"Oh, charming I'm sure, what about Chris he's a lovely young man."
"Okay, if you say so, besides Bobby and I are chemistry partners."
Lindsay started walking towards the staircase to her bedroom. Once
she was away form everyone she picked up the phone and dialed Bobby's
number.
"Hello." Lindsay could tell it was the voice of an older man.
"Hi, is um ... is Bobby there?" She was nervous.
"Yes, he is hold on one-second okay?"
"Okay."
"Hey." Bobby said calmly.
"Hi, my Mom wanted to know if you wanted to come over for dinner
while we work on our chemistry stuff." He couldn't believe he was
working on a project with her now he was invited to stay for a meal
too.
"Okay that would be great."
"Good let me give you directions." After she gave him directions she
hung up and set out to finish the other homework she had so she could
spend as much time as she wanted on chemistry.
45 minutes later the doorbell rang and Bobby thought for sure
he had the wrong house when a maid came to the door.
"Hi, I'm looking for Lindsay."
"One-second sir."
"Miss Lindsay." The maid called. "Some man is here for you."
"Coming Lizzie." She came flying down the stairs running after her
little brother. He kept running and she went to the door.
"Hey Bobby c'mon in." Bobby couldn't believe what a house she lived
in.
"Hey, ready?"
"Yeah, ummm...first this is my mother, this is my little brother
Mikey and this is our housekeeper Elizabeth."
"Hi, where's your dad?" Bobby asked happy to meet her family. Then
feeling very awkward when there was silence throughout the room
Lindsay was the first to speak.
"Well, my mother and father are divorced."
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know." Bobby felt really really bad.
"It's okay." Lindsay's mother chimed in.
"Why don't you two go to your room and work on the chemistry work you
have."
"Okay, do you want something to drink first?"
"No, I'm all set. Thanks." They started walking up the big staircase
and to the last door on the right. When she opened the door it was
the most precious room Bobby had every seen, it looked like a
dollhouse room, he could picture sweet little Lindsay playing in
here as a baby.
"Okay, we can sit on my bed."
"Okay." They continued working on chemistry all night and the whole
night working next to her, Bobby had sparks flying through him, the
only problem is he didn't know if Lindsay felt the same way. They
kept getting closer until Bobby dropped the book and they both went
to reach for it at the same time only to hit heads.
"Sorr------" Bobby started.
"Sorr------" Lindsay started. They both laughed. Lindsay looked into
his eyes and they poured into hers. They both leaned in and their
lips met each other. They shared a long passionate kiss, and
separated when they heard footsteps coming towards her bedroom door.
"Lindsay, dinner is ready."
"Okay Mom." Lindsay responded out of breath. "We'll be down in a
second.
"Okay, hurry up before it gets cold." They heard the foot steps
fading. Lindsay turned towards Bobby again and pounced on him
surprisingly causing him to fall backwards on her bed. She started
kissing him and he eagerly responded. Both lost thoughts of Andrea
and Chris. Lindsay knew they had to go downstairs so she stopped and
just gave him a quick kiss before heading to the door.
"Wait." Bobby finally spoke up. Running towards the door after her.
"What." She giggled. He grabbed her hand and they started walking
down releasing each others hands when they came to the dining room.
"So glad you two could join us." Ms. Dole replied. They all sat down
and an uncomfortable silenced dinner.
"May I pleased be excused?" Lindsay asked when she finished her
meal."
"Yes, you may." Bobby not used to having to excuse himself from a
table almost got up and followed Lindsay.
"May I pleased be excused?"
"Yeah, go in the kitchen and Lindsay will take your dishes." In the
kitchen Lindsay was helping Lizzie with the dishes.
"Here let me take your dishes Mr. Donnell."
"You can call me Bobby." He smiled at the 'Mr. Donnell' remark.
"Okay let me take your dishes Mr. Bobby." She seemed nervous.
"Liz, you can call him Bobby." Lindsay insisted.
"Okay Miss Lindsay." Bobby just smiled at Lindsay. Lindsay went back
to working on the dishes." Bobby rolled up his sleeves and started to
help. It took them 15 minutes to finish up and they walked into the
sitting room with Lindsay's mother. They shared a small chat about
Bobby and his background. Ms. Dole's last question was her most
important. "What field you plan to go?"
"Criminal law, I'm going to Boston University."
"And where do you plan to practice law?"
"Suffolk." He quickly added.
"Oh. Lindsay here is going into criminal law." Lindsay gave her
mother a look.
"Really?" Bobby asked very surprised. Turning towards Lindsay.
"Yeah, I want to be a defense attorney actually."
"Me too."
"Really?" Both Lindsay and her mother responded.
"Yeah, I'm hoping to open my own practice too."
"Good for you Bobby."
"Where do you plan on going Lindsay?"
"Well, I want to go to----" Before Lindsay could finish her mother
stepped in. "Harvard." Bobby turned to Lindsay surprised. He had
never known anyone who was smart enough for Harvard and definitely
never known someone who could afford that school.
"Yeah." Lindsay didn't seem happy.
"Well, why don't you two go up and finish your work."
"Okay." Lindsay stated all too quickly. They headed upstairs to her
room and Lindsay slammed the door after them. Then there was a short
giggle before she pushed Bobby on the bed and he fell backwards. They
kissed and started making out when Lindsay's brother came running
into her room.
"Ooooh. I'm telling Mom." He wined.
"No don't, she'll never let Bobby come over again."
"Oh well, give me something and I won't tell."
"Fine." Bribing him always worked, he ran out to his bedroom.
Realizing they wouldn't be having anymore fun or get anymore work
done Bobby decided he should leave.
"Look Lindsay, I should probably get going." He started gathering his
books.
"We could get together again tomorrow." She stated hopeful.
"Yeah, that would be great, uh here or my place?"
"Doesn't matter."
"Okay, how bout my house. I'll call you and work out plans I could
drive us to my place after school and give you a ride to your house
since you won't have your car with you."
"Okay, that's fine."
"Okay, well see ya tomorrow." He stopped right before he opened her
bedroom door. He gave her a tender kiss on the lips.
"Do you ah--- do you wanna ummm... If you don't have anyone----"
"Bobby spit it out." She laughed.
"Do you wanna be my homecoming date?" He said really fast. Lindsay
was shocked.
"Ummm ... what about Andrea?"
"I'd rather take you." He smiled.
"Ummm... Well,---" Just as she was going to answer her brother came in.

"Well, why don't you two go up and finish your work."
"Okay." Lindsay stated all too quickly. They headed upstairs to her
room and Lindsay slammed the door after them. Then there was a short
giggle before she pushed Bobby on the bed and he fell backwards. They
kissed and started making out when Lindsay's brother came running
into her room.
"Ooooh. I'm telling Mom." He wined.
"No don't, she'll never let Bobby come over again."
"Oh well, give me something and I won't tell."
"Fine." Bribing him always worked, he ran out to his bedroom.
Realizing they wouldn't be having anymore fun or get anymore work
done Bobby decided he should leave.
"Look Lindsay, I should probably get going." He started gathering his
books.
"We could get together again tomorrow." She stated hopeful.
"Yeah, that would be great, uh here or my place?"
"Doesn't matter."
"Okay, how bout my house. I'll call you and work out plans I could
drive us to my place after school and give you a ride to your house
since you won't have your car with you."
"Okay, that's fine."
"Okay, well see ya tomorrow." He stopped right before he opened her
bedroom door. He gave her a tender kiss on the lips.
"Do you ah--- do you wanna ummm... If you don't have anyone----"
"Bobby spit it out." She laughed.
"Do you wanna be my homecoming date?" He said really fast. Lindsay
was shocked.
"Ummm ... what about Andrea?"
"I'd rather take you." He smiled.
"Ummm... Well,---" Just as she was going to answer her brother came in.
