A/N: So I was watching old Degrassi: TNG with the Mia, Lucas and Isabella story line and I couldn't help but think of LUX! Though anything I think of now reminds me of LUX... which isn't such a bad thing :)

Anyway, I figured why not write another story. I promise I'll update my other stories again asap but please review!

Chapter One- Two Princes

Cate stalked out of the entrance of the school, itching her legs angrily. Frankie Palladino had turned out to be the man-slut her friend Missy had told her he was, and the stupid scratchy, glittery parts of her dress were driving her crazy.

She folded her arms frustrated as she made her way across the car park, weaving through the cars.

Cate walked past the open backseat door of a minivan, not even noticing it until she heard a voice. "Karen, right?"

"It's Cate." Cate rolled her eyes angrily and turned around to see where the voice had come from. "Nate Bazile?" Cate squinted her eyes, not sure if it was really him or whatever Frankie had offered her from his flask earlier.

Baze smirked, slurring slightly. "It's Baze." He reached down next to him and pulled out a Zima, holding it out to Cate. "You want one?"

Cate looked unsure, but nodded and slowly walked forward. Baze opened the bottle and handed it to Cate. She took a swig of it hesitantly before wrapping her arms around herself and shivering.

"It's cold out. You want to come in?" Baze scooted over in the backseat and made room for Cate, signaling for her to climb in. Again, Cate looked hesitant but did what he said, relaxing when the next song started on the radio.

"The Spin Doctors?" Cate smiled as she heard 'Pretty Baby'. "I love this song."

Baze, who was on his third Zima, smiled and started singing along. Cate laughed as she watched him before joining in herself.

By the end of the song, Cate was completely relaxed and had finished two Zima's. Baze smiled at her as he watched her, and Cate blushed, embarrassed but smiling.

"Where's your date?" Cate tensed up at the question, slightly annoyed.

Truth was, when she had refused to go any further than first base with him in the school bathrooms, Heather Preston had come along and Frankie Palladino was nowhere to be seen. She had found him half an hour later, his half naked body entangled with Heather's on the bathroom floor. "He, uh, he found someone else." She finally answered.

Baze frowned, not knowing what to say. "If it makes you feel better, mine got MEDEVACed."

"Stomach pumping." Cate nodded. She had heard a rumor. "Big turn off." She smiled slightly and Baze smiled back.

Baze moved closer to her and Cate watched him, both simultaneously turning to face the radio when "Two Princes" started.

Before she knew it, Cate was sprawled out on the back seat with Baze on top of her, their limbs entangled and their lips locked as they rushed to remove each other's clothes.

It wasn't like she had expected, although she had no real expectations surrounding her first time. But it seemed shorter than it was supposed to, and the experience was sort of... awkward.

Baze pulled himself off of Cate just as Two Princes was coming to an end, and they sat in an awkward silence.

Eventually Cate pulled her dress back on and brushed down her hair, embarrassed. Baze did the same before opening the door, the two climbing out and standing awkwardly.

"Thanks for the drink." Cate smiled.

Baze nodded and smiled back before Cate slowly began to walk away. "Hey, Cate?" Baze called after her and she turned around, smiling hopefully. "Do you want a ride home?"

It wasn't the question Cate had wanted to hear, but she nodded and smiled anyway, walking back and climbing into the passenger's seat as Baze got behind the wheel.

They pulled up outside of Cate's house ten minutes later and were once again sitting in an awkward silence.

"Well..." Cate started. "Thanks. I had fun tonight."

Baze nodded and smiled at her awkwardly. "I guess I'll call you or something?"

He really had no intention of calling her, or even talking to her again, but what else were you meant to say to someone you had just slept with mistakenly.

Cate was gloating. She smiled widely and nodded, waving goodbye. Baze waved back slightly, smiling tightly before he drove away.

Cate wanted to squeal she was so happy. But instead she grinned and walked inside the house, wanting nothing more than to tell her best friend she now had a boyfriend
