"Wait, these scales are wrong, you actually weigh 304lb's." Professor Z said while Lucas paled, he weighed was over three hundred pounds!

The journey upstairs was the hardest thing that Lucas had to do, he was never that good at gym and this was like an extra tough workout. They finally got him to his room and he collapsed on his bed. "How long am I going to be like this?" he asked Marshal miserably.

"I don't know but we will figure something out." Marshal then backed out the room and rushed to the science room after everyone else. When he arrived, they were all firing ideas and possible solutions to their latest predicament.

The team split off doing different tasks, they had no clue what was going on but everyone was doing their best. "Josie, can I talk to you?" Marshal asked.

"Not now Marsh…" she stopped when he grabbed her arm and dragged her from the room. "What are you doing?" she asked angrily.

Marshal continued to drag her down the hall ignoring her protests, "What are your feelings for Vaughn?" he asked when they reached a secluded area outside.

"We have bigger things to deal with at the moment!" the fiery girl nearly screamed, she had always found it hard to keep her temper in check.

"I just want to know!"

"Get you hands off me!" she bit out turning to leave.

Pulling her back, his tone a match of hers, "Tell me, oh you can't, can you? No you have no clue which one to pick, Vaughn or Lucas, you just want to be fought over." He pushed her up against the wall, "You. Are. So. Selfish," he ended icily.

Josie was shocked by his tone he had never talked to her, let alone anybody, like this before. "Vaughn is not to be trusted," she said weakly, she hadn't wanted to say it because then it would make it true and she longed for it not to be true.

Marshal was shocked and took a step back but he still didn't let go of her. "What about Lucas?"

Josie screwed up her face, she liked Lucas an awful lot but she wasn't quite sure if she was over Vaughn. "Look, Josie," his tone softening at the look on her face, "It doesn't matter if you don't like Lucas that way but you can't keep stringing him along, it's not fair on him,"

"Oh my God, Lucas!" Josie gasped. She pulled out of Marshal's now slack grasp and rushed to Lucas room. She only now realised what Marshal's point was.

"Tell him the truth," Marshal called after her. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes only to open them to see Corrine looking at him with extreme hatred, no wait it wasn't hatred it was hurt, when their eyes met she turned and retreated back into the building.

Josie ran up the stairs and in the room that Lucas shared. He looked stunned to see her but also very weak. "Josie?"

"Lucas, I really like you but I really liked Vaughn as well," she said trying to sort out her emotions.

"I know," he said despondently.

"Vaughn really hurt me and I don't want to use you or for you to hurt me too,"

"What do you mean?" his despondent tone disappearing, being replace by confusion.

"I don't want to go out with you and then realise I'm not over Vaughn, then hurt you in the process, I'm scared,"

Lucas felt lighter with every word she said. He was happy she cared about him, yeah he wanted more but it wasn't the right time at the moment. He still had a chance, if he waited until Josie was ready.

"It's your decision, I'll accept it either way, I just want you to be happy," he said lightly as he got up and pulled her into a hug.

"Lucas, you can stand by yourself! You're not heavy anymore!" Josie said excitedly, he grinned happily looking into her eyes, his arms still around her. Josie suddenly quietened, biting her lip nervously. The both moved in slowly not quite sure if what they were doing was right. Lucas didn't want to push her and Josie knew deep down that although she was angry at Vaughn now she wouldn't be for ever. They faces were an inch apart and then Vaughn suddenly burst in. "I think we've come up with an idea!" he called, "Josie?"

"Vaughn,"

He turned and stalked off but not before saying derisively, "It looks like your better, thanks for telling everyone,"

Josie ran after him Lucas completely forgotten. Lucas looked after her, he wasn't quite sure which one upset him more, that he didn't get to kiss Josie or that Josie dropped him the moment Vaughn came in to view.

End note: woo, do you like my little web of angst that I have wonderfully weaved. Josie hurt Lucas by going after Vaughn and hurt Vaughn by nearly kissing Lucas. Marshal hurt Corrine by pushing Josie up against a wall, can any of this be resolved? It's just another normal day at Blake Holsey High.
