Author's Note: Just an idea I came up with while watching the show. Its an AU but not very AU, just a little bit XD.

Summary: There is a secret that only a few people at JKP Middle School know about, but thats all about to change, whether they want it to or not.

Ch 1: The Waiting

Waiting was hard. I'm an impatient person and waiting for something like this just made it worse. As soon as this class was over there would be a twenty minute mid-morning break for every student in school and then I would finally be able to see my special somebody. However, that was in half an hour and science always ran on and on forever.

I felt somebody nudge me in the side and I looked over to see Coconut Head gesturing to the teacher, Mr. Sweeny, who was looking directly at me.

"Well, Mr. Bigby?" Oh crap! I was too busy looking at the clock to hear his question, let alone what he had been lecturing us on.

"Uuuh...."

"Thats detention Mr. Bigby! Maybe that'll teach you to pay attention in class!" I groaned in annoyance because now I would have to spend my lunch period in detention when I could be doing something much better. I heard the rest of the kids in my class snicker at my misfortune.

Half an hour later of pretending to pay attention and doodling in my notebook, the bell finally rang and I dashed out of the classroom to the custodian's closet. Once I reached it, I entered and saw Gordy.

"Hey Gordy!"

"Hey Ned!" he was bent over some weird contraption.

"What is that?"

"This is a weasel trap that I bought off of ebay! I'm finally gonna catch that weasel!"

"Oh, good luck with that! I would offer to help, but you-know-who is gonna be here in a few minutes."

"Oh yeah, its Monday huh? Today you meet in here, well, I'll be out of here in a minute or so." A minute later, Gordy took his weird contraption and left to pursue his favorite hobby, chasing down the weasel. We all knew he wouldn't catch it, but it was fun to watch.

"Later." I waited a few more moments before I heard someone knock on the door. I smiled at the special knock we had come up with and I called out.

"Hey Ned."

"Hey Loomer." He grinned and sat down next to me on a bucket. "How was your morning?"

"Same ol' same ol'. Except you getting in trouble, that bites." I deflated.

"Yeah, guess we can't hang out during lunch today. Sorry."

"Nah thats cool. How bout after school?" He asked hopefully and I nearly laughed.

"Sorry, Cookie, Mose, and I are going to a movie. We're gonna see 'Mutant Ants Attack'." It was a little funny to see his face fall, but he immediately smiled again.

"Guess I can't take you to see that this weekend then. I'll haveta find something else to do." I smiled in return.

"I'm sure you'll find something fun to do." He reached his hand up and took mine in his and squeezed it.

"I gotta surprise for you." I squeezed it back and smiled at him, causing him to turn his head away. It always made me smile because he was so shy with me but totally different when in public. It was amusing to see the school rebel/bad boy be shy and sweet.

"Here." I snapped back to attention when he placed something in my lap. I looked down to see a small cardboard box. I raised my brow at him, but he just gestured to open it. I did so and smiled when I saw that it was full of brownies, my favorite. I picked one up and took a bite. It was warm still, and gooey, just how I liked them and I couldn't hold back my noises of pleasure.

"Oh, these are soooo good. Where did you get them?" Loomer smiled.

"I made them during first period."

"You made these?!" I was honestly shocked. I didn't know he could bake so well.

"Well, I had a little help, but yeah, I mixed them and stuff." I nodded and ate another one before pausing in thought. "Whats wrong? Did they make you sick? Ah man, I knew I shoulda made something easier-"

"No, they are fine, but don't you have math first period?" He laughed nervously and scratched his head.

"Uh, yeah, I skipped it." I crossed my arms and tried to give my most stern look. "Don't worry, Coconut Head is gonna let me borrow his notes!" I sighed.

"Still, you shouldn't be ditching classes. You know what'll happen if you fail anymore classes!" His face contorted into one of anger and disgust as he thought about what his father would do if he failed another class.

"Military School. Yuck."

"Yeah, so go to class!"

"I know, I know, but I wanted to ask you something and the brownies would probably help me out."

"What is it?" I looked at him suspiciously. His face started to go a little red and he started to fiddle with his fingers, his nervous habit.

"Um, well, we've been, um, 'together' for about half a week, and, well," he paused in his stuttering and I let him collect his thoughts. This was obviously important to him for him to be so nervous. He seemed to strengthen his resolve because when he looked up again, he had a determined look in his eye. "I don't want to pressure you and if you don't want to, you don't have to, but I wanna take us to the next level. We've been 'together' for half a week, I've enjoyed it too, and all we've done is hold hands and hug. I want to, ya know, um, well, forget it. If I can't ask for it, how will I ever be able to do it." I almost laughed but held it back for his sake.

"Loomer, do you want to kiss?"

"Well, if you want to, that would be, um, nice." I chuckled.

"I was wondering when we could. If we didn't soon, I would be forced to jump you." He smirked.

"That wouldn't have been so bad, maybe I should wait?" I hit his shoulder and mock-glared at him.

"Do you wanna do this or not!?" He held up his hands in surrender.

"Of course I do! I was only joking!"

"Good, now lets go before break is over." He nodded and leaned in. I leaned in to meet him and we were about to make contact when the nob on the door twisted and somebody clumsily entered. We both jumped apart, eyes wide. We both let out a sigh when we saw it was only Gordy.

"Hey, break is over. Thought I would let you know so you aren't late." We both nodded and grabbed our stuff.

"Hey can you give us a minute?" I asked. Gordy nodded and left. Once he was gone, I grabbed Loomer's black shirt and tugged him down to my level. Before he could open his mouth to say anything, I kissed him clumsily. It was short and chaste, but the so-called 'spark' that everyone talked about was there. I pulled away and gave him a smile.

"I'll see you this afternoon. Thanks for the brownies." I left him standing there and walked out into the thinning hallway.
