AUTHOR'S NOTE: this story could not happen without one of my best friend's, who, without her, half of the funnies that are in this story would be nonexistent. So please keep in mind that TWO people are writing this, and give props to Sam.

Chapter One- Cooties

The afternoon sun beat heavily down on the grounds of North Tarmon High, students spilled out over the surface area, happy to finally have the time to talk animatedly about their summers. It was lunch hour, the time when comedy levels reach their highest peak, where all the roots of gossip begin their course. Two girls walked, side by side bagged lunches in their hands, exchanging each other's time tables and groaning over the teachers they had been assigned to, or just laughing at the other's misfortune.

The two girls had spent the majority of their summer together so they didn't bother to exchange stories of their fun with boys under the sun. Mostly because the only boys they had seen this summer was the six that they hung out with all year long, not including the four brothers of Heart, one of the two girls walking. Night, her best friend, and partner in crime was struggling with an itch on her right leg, attempting to scratch it through the tight fabric of her jeans but failing miserably, because if you didn't know its almost impossible to scratch through skinny jeans, not to mention while walking.

Night and Heart were just about to descend the stairs when someone jumped in between the two girls and wrapped their arms around each of their shoulders.

"HELLO! Ladies."

The two girls jumped out of their skins and screamed, staring wide eyed at the boy who had frightened them so.

"Where the fuck did you come from?" Night yelped.

"Well… you see it all started when my Mom and dad-,"

"AH! Wade, I don't want to hear about this."

"What? Don't you want to hear about looooove?"

"No, I'm still at the boys have cooties stage, you know?"

At that second Heart's face screwed up in horror, "Boys have cooties?" and then she started yelling, jumping away from the two and brushing her clothes off, spinning around in circles. To others who didn't know what was happening would have thought she was on fire or something.

"AHH" She screamed, then booked it down the steps and across the grass towards their usual picnic table in the middle of the cluster.

Four other boys were currently situated there, they all looked up to see their friend running full speed at them, yelling loudly.

"AHH, it burns! It BURRRNS!" Heart continued to scream, jumping up and down.

Whimpering, she took her hands that had been wiping off the cooties and wiped them on the back of two of her friends, Stanley Mellish and Adrian Caparzo. Not seconds after she was wiping them off she stared at them in horror.

Her face twisted into horror once again, "AHHHHH, my hands, they BURRRN! IT BURRRNS." She screamed, falling to the ground and rolling around in mock pain.

At that point, Night and Wade walked up and Night stared at her friend in terror, "What have I done? I'VE CREATED A MONSTER!"

That was when another boy, James Ryan also Heart brother walked by and he too started to scream, "AHHHH. It's the ugly one!" He then proceeded to stand there, pointing at his sister and yelled obnoxiously.

Heart fell silent in a split second and stared up at her Brother in confusion.

"Who the hell are you calling ugly?"

James suddenly stopped yelling and stared back, and all was silent.

"What the hell was going on?" another one of their friends, Daniel Jackson spoke up.

"Yeah, what the fuck did you wipe on us?" Caparzo yelled out.

"Cooties."

"Cooties?" Mellish said slowly, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah boys have cooties!" Heart paused for a second, "then I realized that you were a boy too, and it only made it burn even more."

"What's this about cooties?" another boy asked, walking over. He had black hair and dark eyes. He looked similar to a mouse, small and fragile. He wore suspenders and talked with a lisp.

"Nothing, Tim, you had to be there." The only boy who hadn't spoken yet finally let his voice be known.

"No, seriously guys. What happened? I wanna know." He whined, placing his tray of food on the table and then went to go sit on the edge of the seat. Only problem was, was that he completely missed the seat and fell on his ass. The whole table broke off into laughter and the boy who had spoken before Timothy Upham had fallen made a comment.

"Good job Upham, did you have a nice fall?"

"Shut up Reiben!" Heart snapped at him, getting up to go and lend her friend a hand. He stumbled, nearly falling again but he regained his standing position blushing furiously.

An awkward silence fell until James spoke up, "so… who do you guys have for Homeroom?"

"Mr. Miller." Daniel mumbled, stabbing the table with his plastic fork.

"No way!" seven other voices spoke up.

"Yeah…" he stated, looking around them all confused.

"I do too." Heart spoke up. Six other "me too's" spoke up as well.

Heart peered around the table, unscrewing the cap on her water bottle. Her eyes landed on Reiben.

"I BLAME YOU RICHARD REIBEN FOR THIS CONSPIRACY!" She yelled, throwing water on him, "the power of Christ Compels you!"

"WHAT THE FUCK? Why'd you do that!?" He yelled, jumping up and looking down on his now wet front.

"Because you're a DICK! Get it, DICK is short for RICHARD."

Heart started to laugh then turned towards Night and she stared at Heart.

"What?" Night asked. And Heart's face split into a grin.

"Catch me!" She yelled, throwing herself into Night's arms.

"Oof!" Night grunted.

"Piggy back, piggy back!" Heart squealed clapping her hands.

Night put her down and Heart then jumped up onto her friends back.

"Onwards!" and Night took off with her passenger holding on. Of course the two didn't get far and Night tripped falling flat on her face, Heart didn't fall far, she pretty much just stayed sitting on her friend.

"Uhhh." Night groaned, "geroff me!"

"Ha ha, I'm the queen of the castle!" Heart giggled, bouncing on her friend's ass.

Night grunted with each bounce, "you're breaking my back!"

Heart huffed and got up after one final bounce, "fine, you suck at this anyway." Heart walked away and left her friend there moaning.

"Uhh,"

Heart didn't answer.

"Help me up."

Heart continued to walk away.

"Any one there?"

Heart walked back to their table, laughing.

Night's groan could be heard from where they sat, "uhhh."
