Friday morning in Ms. Kwan's class the the 10th graders have just been assigned a project and partners. The bell rings and everyone gets up to leave. Ellie and Ashley walk out together.

"I hate assigned partners for projects" said Ellie with her usual annoyed and dried tone.  "I know," replies Ash "I'm just glad I don't have to work with him." "Thanks!" She says sarcastically.  Jimmy runs up behind them "Hey Ellie! Wait up!" he shouts from behind them.  "I'll see you later" Ashley says to Ellie before walking off. Ellie rolls her eyes.  "So I guess we're working together, huh?" He says trying to keep with her fast pace, she has no intention of slowing down for him. "I guess so." She replies not even looking back at him.  "So...You want to meet up after school?" "Fine" she turns to face him so abruptly that he almost crashes in to her, "I'll meet you at the main entrance." She turns and heads down to her next class.


"Dude!" Spinner pats Jimmy roughly on the back, Jimmy almost trips because of it. "How's your "LOVE" project with Ellie?" "Shut up Spin!" He pulls Spin into the Zen Garden. "Tell the whole school, why don't you!"  He looks around nervously while speaking.  "Dude! Relax. You've been crushing on her for years! My bad if I almost slipped for the first time. You've been keepin it a secret forever!"  "Yea and I would like to keep it that way alright." He replies firmly with a straight face.
 "Man your crazy! This is your chance, take it!" Spinner says almost pleading with him.  "I can't"  "Why not?! You're doing a love story. It's perfect."  "Spin, forget it! She doesn't even want to work with me." He says; he's pacing now.  "So she'll get over it. " Jimmy shakes his head and begins to walk out. "Dude. Did you forget about the kissing scene?" Jimmy stops in mid-step, "What kiss?"  "You haven't been paying attention in class have you?" He shakes his head and puts his hand on Jimmy's shoulder "You get to kiss her!"  Jimmy just stares. Spinner waves his hand in Jimmy's face, "Dude, you there?"

Scene: Last Bell of the day rings. The halls are packed with kids ready to start the weekend. But not everyone is anxious for the weekend...

So you're working with Jimmy, huh? Marco says grinning. "Yea, so. It's nothing. Just another project, with another guy. No big deal." Ellie replies plainly. "In no other project did you kiss a guy and definitely not Jimmy Brooks."  "So. It's not like he likes me or anything."  "Yea, right. He just stares at you 'cuz he likes your shoes" Marco says chuckling. "He looks but he's too shallow to deal with the "Goth thing". He's into girls like Hazel and Paige. Not me. And don't forget what happened when he and Ash got back together?" "So." Marco lowers his voice to a whisper "If he can accept me being gay I think he can deal with your style of dress, El. Really don't doubt it."  "Even so, even if by some strange miracle he's into me what about Ash. That's her ex. and my good friend."  "So, she's busy with Craig and so beyond over Jimmy."  "Yea, well we'll see." They reach the main doors. "There he is. I'll call you tonight."  "You better. I want to here every detail. See ya later." He heads off in the other direction. Ellie walks up to Jimmy who has his back to her talking to Spinner.
Spinner whispers to Jimmy "Uh-oh. Here she comes." "You ready?" she says from behind him.  Jimmy facing her now, "Yea, your house or mine?" "Yours"

Scene: At Jimmy's apartment. They've been rehearsing for awhile but now Jimmy's getting a little uneasy.

"O my love how I...I...I...I, I forgot my line" He says stumbling over his words. "What's your problem? You're a good actor and now you're messing up" She says frustrated, this is the third time he got to this point and messed up.  I just forgot my line no, big deal."  He sits down on the couch. She sits next to him. "Right, you're sweating like crazy and can barely look me in the eye" Jimmy puts head down "You were doing fine and now what?" "Look, I'm just nervous, ok?"  "Why? She looks at him for a moment he keeps his head down. "Is it because of this?" She grabs him by the shirt and kisses him.  Still holding him by his shirt she pulls him down on top of her. Jimmy still partially in shock begins to kiss her back.  Getting over the shock he gets into it. Sliding his tongue in to her mouth, taking control.  Jimmy an aggressive lover at heart takes her hands of his shirt and holds them behind above her head with one hand and with the other begins caressing her side right next to her breast but not touching it.  He's teasing her driving her insane; in her head she's screaming "Just grab my tit!" He's grinding her slightly. 

He sits up slightly. Still kissing her but one peck at a time.

Kiss

Kiss

Kiss, he lifts up her shirt and somewhat to his surprise she abruptly pulls it over head, at the same time pulling her ponytails loose.  He begins to undue his shirt but she throws him down on the couch and climbs on top of him and rips his shirt open.  She kisses his neck and begins to work her way down.  With one hand he flips her bra strap open from the back.  She stops for a second, shocked at how quickly he undid her.  He pulls the bands off of what's left of her ponytails setting her red hair loose over her bare shoulders.  "You're beautiful, you know that?" He whispers in her ear. She smiles and looks at him and kisses him.  "I want you" She says in his ear.  He kisses her again.  "I got condoms in my room" She slides off him.  "Hurry back" He smiles and heads off to his room.

He pulls open his sock drawer rummages through it to find an unopened box.  He walks out back into the living room. Ellie pops from behind the corner and throws him up against the wall and begins to kiss him. She undoes his pants before he even realizes what happens.  He puts his arms around her and realizes she's totally naked.  He quickly steps out of his pants. Instinctively grabs her, tossing with one hand the condoms on the counter, then picks her up and raps her legs around his waist.  Walking on over to the counter, she's still rapped around him kissing him, he places her on the counter and she shudders from the cold tile. He opens the box and puts the condom on.  He slides into her I slight moan emitting from her lips, gasps slightly and looks at her and kisses her and starts banging her.

They go from the counter, to the floor, up against the wall, his bed, his dresser then back on his bed. They fall asleep in each other's arms.
