The moments that happened in between some of the chapters in High School Love. If you haven't read that one yet, I suggest you do that before reading this.

I had a guest say that High School Love was rushed, which honestly, I agree with. There are some things I wanted in the story but couldn't figure out how to put them in there without it looking out-of-order, so this is just what happened in between certain chapters, Chuckie and Angelica will be in it and there is one chapter that will be about Tommy and Phil's new friendship.

Chapter 2.5
In between chapters two and three.

Disapproving Friendship

Phil walked into his class after dropping Lil off at the nurses office. He set his books down and turned in his chair so he was now facing Kimi "Guess who Lil was just with."

Kimi raised an eyebrow "Anyone I know?" Phil nodded and Kimi started thinking of who it could be "How do I feel about them?"

"You can't stand him."

"Him" she started tapping on her chin with her index finger trying to figure it out "I don't know, I give up. Who?"

"Tommy."

"Tommy Pickles?"

Phil nodded "I was coming back from the bathroom and when I turned the corner I saw them. She had an arm around his shoulders and he had an arm around her waist. He said she slipped on the bleachers and hurt her ankle."

Kimi raised an eyebrow "Why was Lil at the bleachers?" she thought about it. She knew Lil had Anatomy this period, and she was never one to skip class. Then again, Lil had been acting pretty strange for a few days so she wouldn't doubt if she was deciding to try and be a different person for a while.

"She said she was having a bad day and just didn't want to be in class." he had started fidgeting in his seat. The question made him nervous because there was more to the story than just that. He hoped that Kimi didn't notice it thought.

"Wait," she started and sighed "that doesn't explain why she was with Tommy."

Phil shrugged and turned in his seat so he was now facing the board "He just happened to be there and helped her."

Kimi laughed "Tommy Pickles? Help someone?"

Phil smiled at her and nodded "I warned her that he was bad for her, but I don't think she believed me. You're her best friend, you've experienced Tommy, maybe you can convince her."

Kimi thought it over before nodding "After school."

Kimi was waiting by Phil's car after school for Lil so she could talk to her. She had her arms crossed and was watching all the people come out of the school, but she didn't see Lil. Phil walked over to her "Where's Lil?"

Kimi shrugged "She hasn't come out of the school yet."

"Really? She's usually one of the first people out." Phil said with a shrug "Get in, I'll take you home."

Kimi opened the door to the car and sat in the passenger seat, watching the crowd of people, waiting to see if Lil would come out. Phil tried calling her but it would go straight to voice mail, meaning she had turned her phone off. Phil rolled his eyes before starting the car "She'll call me if she needs a ride I guess."

Kimi nodded. She was pretty worried about her best friend. She could tell by that Lil was acting that something was bothering her, but she couldn't think of anything that could be bothering her. She was loved by many and had good grades. She sighed, guessing it was just her senioritis kicking in.

"You okay?" Phil asked as he pulled out of the parking lot. He reached over and took Kimi's hand, giving her a smile.

"Yeah," she started, returning his smile "I'm just worried about Lil."

Phil chuckled "Yeah, I guess I am too. But she's Lil, she does what she wants. She'll come around." Phil pulled into Kimi's driveway and put the car in park before shifting in his seat to look at her "Plus, she usually listens to you. So if you do end up talking to her about it, she'll most likely listen."

Kimi smiled and leaned over, giving him a kiss "I will talk to her, don't worry." she opened the car door and stepped out before leaning back down to look in the car "I'll probably either call her or I'll end up coming over later."

Phil smiled at her "I'm hoping you'll come over." She returned his smile before closing the door and walked into her house.

Two hours went by and Kimi had just woken up from a nap. She got up, checked herself in the mirror, fixing her hair and makeup, and grabbed her phone before walking out of the house. She was heading to Phil and Lil's so she could talk to her about Tommy.

She knocked on the door and Betty answered it "Evening, Kimi!" she stepped aside letting her inside the house "You here for Phil or Lil?"

"Lil, then probably Phil." she gave Betty a smile.

"She's up in her room, you staying for dinner?"

Kimi started walking towards the stairs "Yeah, most likely!" She ran up the stairs and walked past Phil's door, where she heard music playing pretty loud. She smiled to herself and continued walking to Lil's room, knocking on the door "Lil?"

Lil pulled the door opened and smiled "Hey Kim!" she grabbed Kimi's arm and pulled her into the room "I didn't think you'd be here!"

"I wasn't planning on coming over today, but I really have to talk to you about something."

Lil sighed and walked over to her computer chair "What about?"

Kimi walked over to Lil's bed and sat down, crossing her legs and looked over at Lil "I think you know what it's about."

Lil crossed her arms and leaned back into the chair "Tommy."

Kimi nodded "Phil's just... Worried about you. And I am too."

"Why? He's not that bad of a guy."

"You don't really know him though, Lil. You have to remember, I had sort of a... Thing with him. And if I recall, I told you everything that happened. We always without a doubt, ended up in a bed. He used me, played me, led me on, then dumped me. I don't want that to happen to you, and I know Phil doesn't."

Lil groaned in irritation "That's not going to happen, Kim. I don't plan on letting things get that far with him. I don't even plan on dating him. It was nice hanging out with him, we got along. I finally have a friend other than you and Chuckie, and it's actually really nice. I understand that you and Phil are worried, but I am capable of taking care of myself."

Kimi nodded "That's understandable. And I do know you can take care of yourself, just please, for the sake of me and Phil, be careful."

Lil stood up and walked over to her bed, sitting next to Kimi "I appreciate you two being concerned. But nothing bad is going to happen, I promise that."

Kimi smiled and gave Lil a hug before standing up "Just remember to be careful when with him. He's a pretty persuasive guy." Lil nodded and laid back on her bed giving Kimi a wave.
