Howdy Yall! I haven't written a story in a while. I have been working on this one for a while BEFORE I post it up so I think I will actually finish this one this time hehe. This idea came to me randomly, and I thought it would be interesting 2 c how all the bohemians would act together when they didn't know each other. soo this is what came up! lol. Takes place in high school and they all don't really know each other and they get left behind...on a field trip. Stinks? Yes it does.

A Way Back

ROGER'S POV

As the students of Scarsdale High flooded out of the school buses, three students stumbled out of the doors. One, by the name of Roger Davis, stumbled out of the bus with little enthusiasm. He really wasn't looking forward to a "field trip" to a library on the other side of town. He looked over at his two friends who were bickering about something. Roger, on the other hand, was too focused on ending this trip to pay attention to what they were saying.

"Pookie. How many times do I have to tell you? He was talking to ME, I was just being friendly."

"Whatever Maureen." Pookie, or Mark, replied. Maureen and Mark had been dating for a while…with some complications. Maureen never knows when to keep her mouth shut, flirting with practically every boy she sees. Roger wondered how Mark could put up with it. He would have dumped her a long while ago.

Roger dragged his backpack behind him sighing. "I really don't want to be here right now."

The sudden words of their friend caused Mark and Maureen to look his way. "Me neither." Mark replied. "I don't understand why we have to go to a library on the OTHER side of town. We have one at our school."

"Oh Pookie, but its not big enough remember?" Maureen said sarcastically.

"I still don't want to be here." Said Roger again. He looped his backpack over his shoulders. "And we have to do a project."

"We do?" Maureen said shocked. She wasn't exactly the best at paying attention either.

Mark rolled his eyes. "Weren't you paying attention?" Maureen just shrugged. "Or were you too busy talking to Joey that you couldn't hear?" Maureen shot Mark a glare.

"Guys, can we go through this without fighting today. I just want to get this over with." Said Roger. Mark and Maureen sighed. "Me too."

MIMI'S POV

Getting off of the third bus a couple emerged. Benny, the boy of the pair, frowned as he looked at the library ahead of him. His girlfriend, Mimi, wasn't too thrilled either.

"Libraries are so fricking gay." Benny said sharply. Mimi looked at him and frowned. Having Benny as a boyfriend wasn't really the number one thing to be happy about, but Mimi shrugged it off. Being with Benny was great at first, but as time went by, Mimi has just gotten tired of his attitude. His day mostly consisted of making fun of others and ruining her day. She couldn't handle it.

"Speaking of gay." Benny said eyeing two boys hand in hand. The two boys glared at him and continued walking. "What are you looking at? Fags."

The two boys glared at him once again, moving farther away as they made their way to the library. Mimi caught an eye with one of the boys and looked away quickly. She hated how Benny treated them.

COLLIN'S POV

"Don't worry about him Angel." One of the boys said. Collins hated being called names, but he hated it more when his boyfriend was being made fun of too.

"Thanks." Angel locked onto Collins hand tighter as Benny passed them bye. He saw Mimi walk behind Benny in a hurry.

"I don't know who would ever want to be that things boyfriend." He frowned. "He's so rude."

Collins let out a grin. "He's probably forcing her or something."

Angel smiled. "I'm happy were not like that." Collins smiled at Angel. They wouldnever be like that.

JOANNE'S POV

Also making their way to the library doors was Joanne Jefferson. The smart, independent…and somewhat stubborn girl no one seemed to get to know. She walked by herself with her backpack on her shoulders. Joanne didn't mind being alone most of the time, she liked being independent, but she did wish she had some friends she could call her best. Joanne looked to her left as Maureen, Mark and Roger brushed past her. The mocha girl slightly rolled her eyes. She found that Maureen Johnson to be somewhat annoying.

"Students! Stop right here please." A teacher called out to the sea of high schoolers. She stopped them all in front of the library for a quick briefing. "Everyone will need one of these sheets." The teacher held out a bright yellow paper. "It has your assignment on it and you will need it when you get back to school. It has a list of the books you all need for you report, so do your best to find them." The teacher finished.

Roger sighed once again eyeing the hideous bright yellow paper.

"You all need to go in and look for the ten books. We will give you about two hours. You must make sure to return here by 4:30 or the bus will leave you behind." All the students nodded their heads and made their way into the library.

"And don't forget to be quiet!" The teacher said making one last announcement.

The adult's announcement seemed to have no effect as Maureen entered the library. She shrieked right as her foot hit the carpet. "This place is HUGE!"

Roger and Mark glared at her, almost embarrassed as everyone else glared their way.

Joanne passed and rolled her eyes. "Wow."

Roger, Mark and Maureen picked up their assignment from the teacher and headed off. As they entered the giant library Mark glanced at the paper and sighed to himself. He really didn't want to do this assignment, especially knowing that Maureen would take no part in it. Roger and him would most likely be left working on it for the rest of the day.

"Maureen, you have to help this time." Said Mark holding up the paper.

Maureen smiled. "Don't worry Pookie, I'll help."

"We're serious." Roger demanded. "If you don't help I'm giving you a zero on participation."

Maureen hit Roger on the shoulder softly. "Don't wooorrry about it guys."

Roger and Mark shared glances and shook their heads. They knew what the outcome would be.

ANGEL'S POV

Collins and Angel giggled as they looked at their assignments, thinking it was totally lame. Collins was extraordinarily smart and thought he could do this report with his eyes closed. Angel, on the other hand, was not so bright and suggested that they actually do the project.

"Not all of us are geniuses Thomas." Angel giggled as they walked down the isle.

Collins grinned. "Not all of us are amazing." He said bumping shoulders with Angel.

Angel blushed a little as Collins gripped his hand.

"Is that a blush I see?" Said Collins.

A smile tugged his lips. "No."

They stopped as Collins touched Angel's cheek. "I believe it is." Angel giggled as he grabbed his hand and shoved it away from his face. "Its not."

A group of guys snickered as the two flirted with one another. They stared and whispered. They laughed and quickly fled, leaving Collins and Angel behind.

Angel stared at Collins. "Like usual."

Collins smiled. "But now we have some privacy."

"That I can live with."

Angel silently laughed as Collins began trailing kisses on Angel's neck.

MIMI'S POV

Mimi and Benny finally entered the library. Benny didn't even bother stopping to pick up a paper and just fled past the teacher.

"Benny. The paper?" Mimi said pointing.

Benny shrugged. "So?"

"We have a report to do." Said Mimi angrily.

Benny once again shrugged and ignored Mimi's words. "Do it yourself then."

Irritated, Mimi ran off and grabbed a paper. "Thanks." She said as the teacher handed her a sheet.

"You better get a good grade on that paper." Benny said. "I need an A in this class." He then ran off to his friends.

Mimi glared and shook her head in anger. She was going to get a good grade…without Benny.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

While searching for books Mark and Roger slumped, watching as Maureen flirted with some boys across the hall.

Roger heard Mark sigh.

"You really should end it dude." Said Roger looking at a book. "Its not worth it."

Mark glanced at Maureen. She was so beautiful, Mark thought, he could never leave her. "What if I don't want to?"

"Mark. Are you kidding me?"

Mark adjusted his glasses nervously. "Maybe."

"Mark come on!" Roger yelled slightly. "You can't be serious. She treats you like crap."

"No she doesn't."

"Dude, yes she does!"

Mark looked over at Maureen. She touched a boys shoulder softly and she smiled and talked to them. Mark bit his lip. "She's just being friendly. Maureen is a friendly person."

Roger rolled his eyes as his head churned backwards. "Mark you are such a pushover."

Mark sighed. "Maybe you're right."

"I'm always right." Roger quickly replied.

Mark gave Roger a 'get over yourself' look and walked towards Maureen. "Be right back."

Roger shook his head as he watched his friend get "his" girl back. Searching through the shelves of books, Roger flipped through. He was yet to find the book they were looking for. He barely knew what they were supposed to do in the first place. Roger found a book that looked somewhat interesting and picked it off the shelf. As he did, a face was revealed on the other side. Mimi was on the other side of the bookshelf, also picking out a book for examination.

Roger has seen this girl plenty of times with, as Roger liked to call, the school ass whole Benny. He always thought she looked too kind to be with him, but he never really gotten to know her.

They both smiled at each other awkwardly.

"H-hi." Said Roger.

"Hi." Mimi smiled.

They stared at one another in silence for a moment until their moment was interrupted by Benny, who dragged Mimi away by hand.

Roger watched her suddenly disappear and continued looking at his book.

"Hi!" Maureen appeared happily. "Find the book yet?"

Mark came stumbling behind Maureen.

"No…I didn't." Said Roger.

"Well we should get cracking then!" Maureen said clapping her hands together.

Roger glared at Mark, who shrugged in return.

"Mo, you seriously have to help now." Said Roger putting back the book.

Maureen huffed and crossed her arms. "Fine."

JOANNE'S POV

Joanne sat on the floor of the library quietly. She was actually doing her project unlike the other students on this trip. She checked off a book on her list and began searching for another one. She glanced over and saw a couple walk by quickly. Joanne shrugged, probably another dramatic breakup she thought. She got up from the floor and decided to take a break, heading for the bathroom.

"What the hell was that?" Benny said furiously.

"What?" Said Mimi.

"You know what I'm talking about. Roger. What were you saying to him?"

"Nothing Benny!"

"Please Mimi. I know you were flirting with him."

"I wasn't!" Mimi was telling the truth. "I don't even know him."

Benny grabbed her arm. "I know what you were doing Mimi. Don't lie to me."

Mimi glared at his eyes. "Believe what you want then."

Benny stood silent for a moment before shoving her towards the wall. "Slut." He stormed off, leaving Mimi behind.

The brunette slid down to the floor and began to cry.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Back in the depths of the library, Collins and Angel were still making out behind a shelf. After a few more minutes of fooling around the couple lost track of time. Angel stopped and looked up at the clock on the wall.

"Baby?"

"Yeah." Collins said still smooching Angel.

"What time were we supposed to be back?"

"4:30. Why. We have a bunch of time left."

Angel looked at the clock. It read 5:00.

"Umm…Collins. Its 5:00"

Collins immediately departed from Angel. "What?"

"Its 5:00" Angel said again.

"Angel we were supposed to be back a half an hour ago! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know!" Angel defended.

The both glared at the clock again, making sure they had the right time. They did. It was indeed five and they were specifically told to be back by 4:30.

"Shit!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mark, Roger and Maureen were busy looking at magazines. They had gotten bored of their project and decided to take a break.

Looking up from his film magazine, Mark looked around. It had gotten a lot quieter he noticed.

"Um, guys. What time is it?"

Roger was busy looking at a guitar magazine. "I don't know." He shrugged.

"Why?" Said Maureen.

"Where is everyone?" Mark said again worried.

Roger looked up from his magazine along with Maureen. They all glanced at each other.

"Shit!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Joanne came out of the bathroom. She noticed an empty library. No annoying students, no teachers, just herself. She looked down at her watch and her eyes widened.

"Shit!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mimi sat in the corner wiping her eyes. She didn't even notice no one was around anymore. She wiped her eyes and looked at a book in front of her. She rolled her eyes and chuckled. It was a book on the list. She huffed and suddenly remembered the trip. She looked at the clock on the wall.

"Shit!"

And now...they are left behind. So sad so sad. What will they do? Next chapter...the bohemians meet for the first time.
