Here we go again. Seventeen year old Elodie Morgan sighed to herself. She watched as her on-again/off-again [currently on-again boyfriend of a year and a half threw his pool stick at the blonde boy he had been playing pool with minutes earlier. She knew the second they had started playing it wouldn't end good, it never did.

"Fuck you, Garwin! There's no way you could have made that shot without cheating!" Aaron Abbot screamed. He shoved the blonde, Reid Garwin, getting in his face. "There is no way I am paying you!" They went through this every time they went to Nicky's. Aaron and Reid would play each other in pool, and then Reid would bet Aaron fifty dollars that he could make this ridiculous shot that even a professional would probably have trouble making. Then in some miraculous way Reid would make the shot in and Aaron would flip. Then they would end up fighting in the parking lot until either Nicky or Reid's friends, Caleb Danvers and Pogue Parry, put a stop to it. She rolled her eyes as Aaron and his friend, Kyle Westerly, headed out the backdoor, followed by Reid and his best friend, Tyler Simms.

"Lo, go get your man and take him home!" Nicky boomed to her from the other side of the bar. She huffed and nodded, grabbing her purse.

"Sure thing Nicky." She mumbled, pulling her jacket on before heading towards the door. She passed the table where Caleb and Pogue had been sitting with their girlfriends. She gave the two boys a small, apologetic smile and they returned it shaking their heads. The two followed her out the door where the four boys were now in each others faces yelling.

"You bet him he couldn't make the fucking shot and he did! Pay up, Abbot!" Tyler yelled at Aaron, which surprised Lo somewhat. Tyler was the shy, quiet type, not the in your face type like his counterpart in Reid.

"Enough!" Caleb boomed and the others fell quiet instantly. "Just forget it Reid, its not worth it."

"Yea Aaron, lets go I'm tired and I have to get up early tomorrow." Lo said trying to gently tug Aaron in the direction of his truck. Reid and Tyler gave each other a look before reluctantly turning to follow Caleb and Pogue back into the bar.

"Fuckin' Pussies." Aaron spat to the retreating boys.

"AARON!" Lo yelled irately as Reid turned and lunged at Aaron. The two boys rolled around on the floor for a few moments before Caleb went to pull them apart. Kyle looked like as if he were about to go after Caleb and Lo shot him a look. "Don't even." She warned and he seemed to back off. After a moment or two, Caleb was able to separate the two boys. "C'mon Aaron." She grabbed his arm and dragged him to his truck. They got in and Aaron started the truck as Kyle hopped in the backseat. Lo looked back at the four friends who were now all yelling at each other. The four of them, better known to the student body of Spenser Academy as 'The Sons of Ipswich' seeing as their ancestors had founded the town originally, were always at each others throats. Caleb was the leader of the group, the level headed one who watched out for his three best friends as if they were his younger brothers. Pogue was the daredevil of the group. He drove a yellow ducati and was always doing at least 90 MPH down the streets in town. Reid was the bad boy of the group. Always causing trouble in some form or another, and the girls flocked to him. And then there was Tyler, the youngest of the Sons. He was quiet and never found in the company of anyone other then the other four or their girlfriends. And they were all by far among the most gorgeous boys currently attending Spenser.

"You totally kicked his ass, dude." Kyle broke into her thoughts. He clapped Aaron on the shoulder and Aaron smirked cockily as he continued to drive towards the dorms. Lo rolled her eyes and turned her head to look out the window.

"What the fucks your problem?" Aaron snapped and she shot him a nasty glare before turning her head to look back out the window. They arrived at the dorms soon after and Lo immediately jumped out of the truck and headed towards the doors without a second glance at her boyfriend and his friend. She went straight to her dorm room and slammed the door behind her. She pulled her jacket off and threw it onto one of the desk chairs in the room, along with her purse. She sat on her bed and began taking of her boots when there was a knock on her door. She ignored the knocking and began searching for something to wear to bed. The knocking continued and she threw a book at the door.

"Go away Aaron!"

"Open the door Elodie." She stomped over to the door and threw it open.

"What?" She demanded with her hands on her hips.

"What the fucks got your panties twisted?" He asked trying to get into her room so they could continue the screaming match that was about to ensue in private.

"You Aaron!" She wouldn't let him through.

"What the fuck did I do?" He demanded, still trying to push his way into the room. Lo stood in the doorway though, refusing to let him in.

"All your baby bullshit with Reid! Every week it's the same fucking thing!" She yelled, throwing her arms in the air.

"What the fuck? What are you defending him?" Aaron asked incredulously. He couldn't believe his girlfriend would stand up for that stupid prick. "What? You wanna fuck him or something?" Lo's eyes flashed with anger. "Why else would you defend him?!"

"I'm not fucking defending him, Aaron! And I do not want to have sex with him! I'm just sick and tired of all the drama you have to cause when he's around! I don't understand the problem you have with him but seriously Aaron, be the bigger man and grow the fuck up!" She poked him hard in the chest at the last four words, as if that would better get her point across.

"Fuck this shit, I'm outta here." He yelled back. She should have known he wouldn't listen to a thing she said.

"You better go straight back to your dorm!" She called after his retreating form. "Do not let me find out you went to Kira's!" She sighed angrily when she saw his arm raise with his middle finger held high. She turned and slammed the door behind her. A second later the door opened and Lo picked up the nearest object [which happened to be one of her boots she had taken off earlier, ready to throw it at who she thought was Aaron coming back to fight with her some more. Instead her roommate, Kate Tunney, poked her head in quickly.

"Is it safe?" She asked before laughing nervously. Lo lowered her arm and nodded. Kate gave her a smile before entering the room, followed closely by her boyfriend, Pogue. See, every year at Spenser Academy, your roommate was picked at random, and you never had the same roommate as a previous year, which could be good and bad. Good if you didn't get along with your current roommate, you wouldn't have to worry about being stuck with her the remainder of your high school career, bad if you became best friends with your roommate and then the next year got stuck with some intolerable bitch. It was a month into Lo and Kate's Senior year at Spenser and in that month they had become pretty good friends, and as a result of her friendship with Kate, she also became friends with Kate's best friend and previous roommate, Sarah Wenham. Which also caused her to become friends with their boyfriends, Pogue and Caleb, and somewhat friends with their friends, Reid and Tyler... who were her boyfriends mortal enemies. And just another topic of the many fights they seemed to be getting into these days. Oh the cards that life could deal sometimes.

"So how much of that did you guys hear?" She asked as Kate flopped down on her bed. Kate looked from Lo to Pogue and back to Lo.

"Everything after you said something about 'Baby bullshit with Reid,'" Pogue answered for his girlfriend. Lo groaned and rubbed a hand down her face. The entire second floor had probably heard their fight. Pogue smiled at her and sat next to Kate. "It's okay, he was just proving to everyone once again how much of a jackass he really is." Kate rolled her eyes and hit him on the arm.

"He is her boyfriend, ya know."

"That doesn't make him any less of a jacka-" Kate had cut him off by hitting him again. "I think I'm gonna head out before she leaves a bruise." Kate shot him a look and he gave her a wide smile. "Night, Baby." He leaned in to give her a kiss. "Night Lo!" He called as he started for the door.

"Goodnight." Lo said as she sifted through her dresser drawers. She pulled out a tank top and pair of girly boxer shorts and headed into the bathroom. After changing and brushing her teeth, she went back into the main room where she found Kate already in her own pajamas, laying on her bed reading a book. Kate looked up when she heard Lo enter the room.

"I'm sorry about Pogue…" She started,

"No, Kate, don't worry about it. He says worse stuff about the four of them then I have ever heard any of them say about him," She said sighing sadly. She sat cross-legged on her bed and Kate sat up, facing her friend.

"So what happened this time anyways? Something had to set you off, not just him and Reid fighting at Nicky's." She asked.

"I don't know." She closed her eyes before continuing, "I guess I just want him to grow up. When we go out I want him to be concentrating on me, not getting the better of Reid." Kate nodded as Lo ran a hand through her long, dark hair. "I'm just sick of him causing us to constantly get kicked out Nicky's, or restaurants, or stores! Just because he can't get over this stupid thing he has against them. I mean is it so much to ask to have a mature boyfriend?" She laughed.

"No, of course not. You deserve to have a mature boyfriend, which is just hard to find around here seeing as girls mature much faster then most boys." Lo laughed as Kate continued, "I however, lucked out pretty well. Although Pogue does have his moments... " Kate and Pogue were perfect for each other. They had been dating since the middle of tenth grade, Lo was pretty sure, and were still going strong. They had their moments, and Kate had informed Lo that she had come close to breaking up with him the beginning of the last school year, but some things happened and it just ended up bringing them even closer together.

"Sometimes I just wonder if its worth it." Lo laid down and snuggled up with one her pillows. "I mean when you and Pogue fight do you worry that he's gonna go out and cheat on you?" Kate shook her head. Lo sighed and buried her head in her pillow.

"Why do you stay with him if you know he cheats on you?" Kate asked.

"Because, I don't have proof...and as long as I don't have proof...my heart refuses to believe it." Kate gave her a sympathetic smile. "I mean I know he's an asshole, but we've been together so long...and as much as I hate to admit it sometimes, I really do love him." Kate turned of her bedside light, leaving the with the moon as their only light source.

"Just be careful, Lo. You're a good girl and I'd hate to see you get hurt." Lo murmured a 'thanks' before turning over for a restless night of sleep.
