What happened last week was a normal occurrence between the two groups. Their rivalry is legendary, or so Holli-J says, but Cody doubts it. Today Cody is bracing himself for school to start in the next couple months, and well he didn't want that to happen. He probably wouldn't see Ted as often as he wanted to, and that's something he doesn't like. A sigh escapes the brunett's lips as he leans back against the outside wall of the bowling alley. They hung out there a lot but today Cody was alone. He needed time to think so he chose a time when he knew no one be there, or at least that's what he thought. "Cody?" That voice, the sexy southern drawl that Cody has just gotten to know.

"Hey Ted," Cody says with a smile. "What are you doing here?" Ted smiles too, shrugging slightly, leaning against the wall beside him.

"I dunno, I came here to think... but I didn't expect to find you here" Ted says, looking over at the brunette.

"Oh, well I needed some place to think too and this is the quietest" Ted agrees silently, staring ahead at nothing in particular. "I'm gonna miss you when school starts, since we probably won't get to spend much time together" Cody sighs, looking over at the blonde, noticing a faint blush on his cheeks. Nah, that was probably his imagination.

"Yeah, it's gonna suck" Ted smiles, looking back over at Cody. Cody just nods in agreement, before pushing off the wall.

"I gotta go Ted, see 'ya later" Cody waves, walking off and Ted's eyes stay firmly in place on the others ass. He thought about yelling 'nice ass', but decided against it because it would make things awkward between them.


Randy groans softly, massaging his temples trying to ward off an oncoming migraine. Of course, he didn't really want to spend time with his sister, but hey, he doesn't have a choice. His sister prances off and into some store and he stands outside it, waiting for her to get out. Just his luck, he spots Jay-C talking to some chick, who ignores him and walks away. "Rejection!" Randy shouts, and John looks over, spotting the slimmer brunette. He smiles and makes his way over.

"She didn't reject me" He says when he approaches Randy, smiling softly.

"Yeah, Jay, she did" John pouts, crossing his arms over his chest childishly.

"Maybe she did..." Randy chuckles softly, clapping John on his shoulder.

"C'mon, she was way outta your league anyway" John rolls his eyes, smiling softly,

"You're an ass"

"Yup, and I thought you already knew that" Randy says with a small smile. One that hardly anyone sees anymore. With his happy, and joking attitude that only he sees sometimes, and usually no one else does. John smiles brighter, thinking about how lucky he is.


Brian groans softly, his forehead hitting his desk with a loud BANG! Paul's warm chocolate gaze drifts over to him from the other side of the room, a smile gracing his features.

"Bri-Bri, you stuck on another problem?"

"No-shit asshole... God I hate summer home work..." Paul chuckles lightly, getting up off Brian's bed where he was sitting, making his way over to the blondish brunett.

"What do you need help with?" Brian looks over his shoulder at the other, a deep frown set in place.

"The whole goddammed thing" Paul rolls his eyes, chuckling again. "Hey shut up! At least I can read"

"I'm not totally illiterate dip-shit" Paul replies smacking Brian on the back of his head.

"Ow! Pauly that hurt"

"Oh you big cry-baby, what do you want me to do? Kiss it?" A soft blush covers Brian's cheeks.

"Will you?"


The gym. Holli-J's sanctuary, where she works on her body, and her self defense. Of course she'd need it with dick-wad's like Wade in the world. "Holli, I brought you lunch" The sweet, almost angelic voice of Taylor brings Holli out of her fierce concentration on destroying the punching bag. She looks over her shoulder and spots the blonde standing there awkwardly amidst the sweaty guys who were ogling her.

"Get BACK to WORK!" She shouts at them, before walking over to Taylor. "God they're pigs, it's like they've never seen a lady before" She scoffs as Taylor giggles, giving her a bottle of water that she'd brought with her.

"but what gives you the right to boss them around?"

"Dad owns the place" Taylor nods, smiling softly making Holli-J cough and blush awkwardly.

"So, what'd 'ya bring?" Taylor gives her the bag of healthy foods, and one doughnut that makes Holli smile.

"You heard about my diet yet you still give me a sugary temptation?" Taylor blushes, opening her mouth to say something, but gets cut off by a kiss to her cheek. "Thanks though"


Later that night they all met up at the bowling alley, combining their money to get a lane so they could spend the night bowling. Of course, no one really payed any attention to the games as they flew by quickly. Randy and John got over competitive causing them to spar in the parking lot after getting them kicked out. It all ended in laughs when Holli-J and Brian decided to break up the fight with, "Aw, c'mon it's just sexual tension, you guys should really give up and just fuck already". They got some dirty looks from a mom who was bringing her kids bowling, at what 11 at night? Maybe it was for a party of something? Who knows? but the group didn't split after that, they headed off to the park to play on the playground while there weren't any little kids.

Mature right? I know. Randy and John took turns pushing each other off of swings like four-year-olds, Taylor and Holli played tag, Paul read a book and watched silently as Brian swung on the monkey bars like an idiot. Who knew that being a child again was so much fun? and I know you're all wondering where Ted and Cody are if they didn't split after the parking-lot brawl, well they were laying back in the sand box, talking away. Ted was propped up on his elbows and Cody laying back, arms folded behind his head. It wasn't unusual for the two of them, since they'd done it many times before. They leave the group and sit alone, staring up at the sky talking about this and that. Cody being the person he is, fully enjoyed the talks and could feel Ted and him getting closer at every word spoken. He learned that Ted's father is a religious freak and doesn't approve of gay relationships, but Ted never really cared. He wasn't gay, but love is love, right?

Ted found out that Cody was actually gay, and constantly had the support of his dad and mom even if his brother, Dustin, didn't really like it but hey, it was his life, he could ruin it anyway he wanted. "My brother, Brett, he's gay too... I still love him, even if I'm the only one who knows" Ted had said, with a soft smile which always appeared when he talked about his brother. Cody had retaliated with, 'Don't try to get us together, I'm not into threesomes'. Ted chuckled, and rolled his eyes. "Hey, I would only watch" That made Cody blush, even though the statement that came afterward made him blush darker.

"I know for a fact it'd be damn sexy"
