Here's chapter two! It takes place during the second season. I do not own anything from The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Thank you! :)

Amy was walking out of class when she bumped into Ricky.

"Hey Amy...Watch where you're going." Ricky said a little irritated.

"Excuse me? You should watch where you're going...Just because you've slept with almost every girl in the school, you think you own it or something?" Amy said stubbornly.

"What? Of course not! And I have not slept with every girl in the school...I never did with you or Grace...or a lot of other girls..." Ricky said sternly.

"Whatever...I'm glad that I never had sex with you...You're a jerk...And I heard that Grace is back at school...she was mourning for a long time..." Amy said honestly.

"Really? I'm a jerk just because I have sex to fill the pain of what my sick father did to me?! Who the hell do you think are to judge me? Maybe I should talk to Grace if you're not willing to be my friend...Seriously...out all the people in this damn school, Grace is the only one who cares about me...I thought we could be friends but I guess you're too stubborn and too in love with Ben to consider that." Ricky said angrily as he walked away from Amy.

"Why did Ricky just yell at you?" Ben asked concerned as he walked behind Amy.

"Um...Because I called him a jerk...Heh...He is since he has sex with every girl he meets...And he wants to try and be friends with me...Can you believe that? I bet he only said that so he could get in my pants." Amy said annoyed.

"Oh...Well maybe he really needs some friends Amy...He's been in therapy and that's not easy...I've been to it a few times after I lost my Mom...It's really emotional..." Ben said sadly as he hugged Amy.

"I'm sorry Ben...I know it was hard for you to lose your mom...I guess I could try being nice to him...I was at band camp anyway..." Amy said nicely as she let go of Ben.

"All right...And I want you to know that I'm not going to pressure you to do anything that you don't want to do." Ben said smiling.

"Thanks...I love you." Amy said sweetly as she grabbed Ben's hand.

"I love you too...Let's get to class." Ben said happily as they walked down the hallway.

"Hey...Grace..." Ricky said awkwardly as he walked behind her as she was getting a notebook from her locker.

"Hey Ricky...How are you?" Grace said sweetly.

"I'm doing all right...I just need a friend right now...How are you? I know mourning isn't easy..." Ricky said honestly.

"Yeah...It defiantly isn't...but I'm doing a lot better and so are my Mom and Tom...I just can't believe that I thought I killed my Dad after sleeping with Jack...Ugh...And are things not going well with Adrian? Is that why you need a friend?" Grace asked concerned.

"I'm glad you're feeling better...Are you going to stay with Jack? And things are ok with Adrian...I really don't know if I want to stay with her...I think I love her but...I just don't know..." Ricky said seriously.

"Thanks...And I don't know if I'm going to stay with Jack...I'm afraid he'll cheat on me again...Well, you thought you loved me and you had sex with Adrian...That should tell you something right there." Grace said sweetly and then a little irritated as she closed her locker.

"If you think Jack will cheat on you, then forget about him...You deserve better than him, Grace...You even deserve better than me...And I'm really sorry for hurting you...The thing with Adrian is...I'm just using her to help me feel better...And I know it's wrong but...I keep doing it..." Ricky said sadly.

"You're right, Ricky...I do deserve better than Jack...But...I still love him...And I forgive you...Well...maybe you should get a new girlfriend...Didn't you like Amy?" Grace said kindly.

"Oh...Well...if you do love Jack, then maybe you should stay with him...I did like Amy...I thought I did at band camp but she's really happy with Ben...Unless..." Ricky said suspiciously as he grinned.

"Unless what?" Grace asked intrigued.

"Maybe you could pretend to be interested in Ben to get him away from Amy so...I might have a shot with her." Ricky said seriously.

"Uh...Are you kidding? I'm not interested in Ben...I just said that I love Jack...If you want Amy, you'll have to figure out how to get her on your own...And by the way, Adrian and I have been friends for awhile...so...you better be careful what you tell me." Grace said honestly.

"I know you and Adrian have been friends for awhile...I said you could pretend to be interested in Ben...And I really don't care if you tell Adrian about this...She'll forgive me eventually..." Ricky said a little irritated.

"Sorry Ricky but I'm not going to hurt Ben by pretending to like him...And I'm not going to hurt Jack either...If you aren't careful, you'll end up without a girlfriend..." Grace said kindly and she walked to class.

"Hey there sexy..." Adrian smirked as she walked towards Ricky.

"God...What do you want?" Ricky asked stubbornly as he crossed his arms.

"Geeze...What's up your cranky ass? Did Grace say something to make you upset? And I'm glad she's back." Adrian said annoyed and then nicely.

"No...I came up with a stupid idea...and she didn't want to go along with it but...I think we should break up." Ricky said honestly.

"Oh...Good for Grace...And what stupid idea...Wait...what?!" Adrian said shocked.

"Sorry Adrian...It's over...You make my life more complicated than it already is..." Ricky said seriously as he started to walk away from her.

"Aaaargh! You can go to hell for all I care!" Adrian yelled at Ricky as she stomped her feet.

Everyone looked at her in shock and then continued walking to class as they talked about what just happened.

"Hmm...It looks the cat is out of the bag." Ashley said coldly from behind Adrian.

"What the hell do you want?" Adrian asked irritated as she turned around.

"I knew that Ricky was just using you for sex...That's probably why he just broke up with you..." Ashley said meanly.

"Shut up Ashley! You don't know anything..." Adrian said angrily and she walked to class.

Later that day after band practice after school...

"Hey Amy...Sorry for yelling at you..." Ricky said kindly.

"It's fine...I know you didn't mean it...If you want to be friends...then I guess we can be friends..." Amy said sweetly as she put her french horn in its case.

"Really? You mean it?" Ricky asked excited.

"Of course...I really shouldn't have called you a jerk...You do need friends...to help you with your past...and I know that therapy has been hard for you..." Amy honestly as she picked up her french horn in its case.

"Don't worry about it...Let me get that for you..." Ricky said kindly as he picked up Amy's french horn.

"Aww...Thanks..." Amy smiled slowly as they walked off the football field.

"So...do you need a ride home?" Ricky said nicely as they walked to a parking lot.

"Uh...Sure...Usually my Dad picks me up but...I haven't called him to pick me up...I can't wait until I get my license." Amy said awkwardly.

"Yeah...Driving is pretty great...I'll drive you home then..." Ricky said happily as he put Amy's french horn in his back seat and then they got in his car.

"This is a pretty nice car...Did you buy it?" Amy asked sweetly as she put on her seat belt.

"Thanks...No...my parents bought it for me...What kind of car do you want?" Ricky said nicely as he stopped at an intersection.

"Oh...You're lucky...I really like red cars but...SUVs are nice...I just want one that works." Amy said happily.

"Yeah...That's important...So which way?" Ricky asked as the light turned green.

"Left...Can I ask you a serious question?" Amy said worried.

"Of course..." Ricky sighed as he turned.

"Aren't you afraid that...you'll get a disease or...a girl pregnant when you have sex?" Amy said honestly as she looked Ricky with sad eyes.

"Uh...I always use protection...I'm very careful, Amy...Thankfully that hasn't happened..." Ricky said awkwardly.

"Yeah but...it could happen...Protection doesn't always work..." Amy said worried.

"I know that...But it has for me..." Ricky said nicely.

"Yeah...but...what's protecting your heart? I just don't understand how sex can make you feel better when you're in pain..." Amy said honestly.

"Of course you don't understand cause you've never been in my situation...It helps me feel like I'm in control...When my father hurt me...I was helpless and vulnerable...God...I shouldn't even be telling you this..." Ricky said sadly as his eyes got watery.

"Oh...I am so sorry, Ricky...But your father isn't hurting you anymore, right?" Amy said concerned.

"Yeah...He's in jail...And I don't need your pity...I get enough of it from everyone else...So...which neighborhood?" Ricky said seriously as he wiped his eyes.

"I'm just trying to be nice to you..It's the next one on the right." Amy said sweetly.

"Thanks Amy..." Ricky said as he turned into her neighborhood. A few minutes later Ricky dropped Amy off at her house and he waved before she went in the front door.

"Hey Ames...I thought I was going to pick you up." George said smiling as he washed the dishes.

"Oh...Yeah but Ricky dropped me off..." Amy sweetly.

"Ricky? That drummer? I thought he was a bad guy..." George said concerned.

"He's not that bad...He's just been through a lot..." Amy said honestly as she put her french horn on the kitchen table.

"Yeah...I just don't want you to do something stupid if you're going to be friends with him...You do love Ben still?" George said seriously.

"Heh...I'm not going to do anything stupid Dad...I promise everything will be fine...and I do love Ben...a lot..." Amy said as she smiled slowly.

"All right...I'm going to get dinner started soon..." George said nicely as he put a plate on a kitchen rack to dry.

"Sounds good...I have some homework to start." Amy said kindly and she walked into her room with her french horn.

So I know a lot of stuff happened in season two but I thought Ricky and Amy could have started becoming friends then if they didn't have John. They became closer in season three on the show but before that, they didn't have a good friendship. I also thought that Grace and Ricky could be better friends too without John. So the next chapter is going to take place during season three and it's going to be pretty interesting so stay tuned! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
