A/N: I got my drivers license! Hahaha, soo not important or relevant to the fic but I was the last in my group...but not anymore! Woohoo! Er...uhm, here's the fic! Enjoy!

"Wow, it is warm out here today!" Kevin declared loudly, looking up at the clouded sky.
Macy frowned, pausing as she unloaded the gear she'd taken out from the gym to look around half expecting this apparent warm weather to have suddenly strolled into the picture. "Really? It still seems pretty chilly and damp." She still didn't get why he was wearing shorts.
"I think it was the jog over here. I'm really burning up those...uh, y'know."
Macy gave a distracted nod as she stared at the yard stick trying to remember the exact order you were supposed to go through with the flexibility test. Getting out the grip strength gauge, Macy looked up and completely forgot what she was doing. She blinked. Yup, she may have even forgotten her name.
Kevin was proud of the reaction he'd garnered from Macy. Grinning, he tossed aside his jacket and stretched out his bared arms thanks to the black tank top he'd donned that morning. He was intrigued to see that Macy's eyes were locked on his arms with laser-like intensity. The smallest movements were tracked closely. Pulling a few moves he'd seen in his dad's old wrestling tapes, he chuckled. Neat.
"Macy?" Nothing, not even a blink. He wanted to feel a little bad that Mission Unsubtle was such a smashing hit but he didn't. Not at all.
The problem was that now that Kevin had Macy's complete undivided attention he didn't really know what to do with it.
His arms were lowered because it was pointless to remain flexing. Coughing quietly, Kevin glanced around the field. The teacher's parking lot was still empty. They were still completely alone. And Macy was still staring. "Uh..." Kevin scratched nervously at his neck. "Maybe we could see a movie, tonight?"
"Uh huh."
Wow. He'd dazzled Macy into incoherence. Ha, take that Edward Cullen!
"Macy? Macy!" Kevin stepped in close and clapped his hands in front of her face.
Macy jerked out of her trance with a startled yelp. "Arms! There were arms everywhere! I..." Macy blinked and gave her head a sharp shake. "You..."
"Yes?" Kevin asked carefully. He watched as Macy allowed herself one last look before she bit her lips.
"Right, uh, we...we should get started," Macy said in a slightly breathless voice. "Maybe we shouldn't do the testing today. Clipboards and me having to carefully watch you and take notes. Ha! Silly idea for t-today. Yoga! We can do some nice calm, soothing yoga." Without waiting for Kevin's agreement on the change, Macy turned her back to him and promptly folded herself in two.
Well, Kevin hadn't been wrong. It definitely was starting to feel a little warmer out here this morning.
Why was Macy so flexible? That certainly couldn't be normal.

"Wow. Wow!"
Kevin growled and tried darting around the corner.
"Did I already say 'wow'? Because, wow! I mean, that...that was smooth!"
A few of the students Kevin was trying to race by had begun to take an interest in the taunting he was trying to out walk. That's right, out walk because at the moment Kevin couldn't outrun because he'd pulled a hamstring or something. Kevin finally came to a stop and swung around. "Shut up, Joe!"
"Oh, that's right. I'm Joe. I totally thought you were Mr. Joe "Smooth Moves" Lucas. Really now...smooth. I'm not sure what was going on out there but that was pretty awesome."
What had been 'going on' was one of those supposed calm and relaxing yoga moves or positions or whatever that Macy had been showing him and Kevin, apparently, not following along properly. So, Macy had come up beside him and helped him into proper position by placing her bare little Macy hands all over his bare little Kevin legs. He'd been in frozen shock at first but then her hands had started moving.
Kevin tried to convince himself that it was the catcall from his brother that had startled him but he knew it was when those hands had slid up his leg, just under the hem of his shorts. Which, obviously, was completely shocking and in turn caused him to...not flail but... Ok, Kevin admitted, it had caused him to flail, jerk away from Macy, pull something in his leg and elbow her in the side of the head all in a matter of seconds. That's right. Elbow her! In the head! Which obviously made Kevin feel horrible, sending him into a fit of apologies and flailing his arms around in panicked embarrassment. Macy had tried to calm him down and grabbed his arms to probably make sure she wouldn't be hit upside the head again. She grabbed his arms. The arms he'd blatantly put on display for her that morning.
And there it had been...hand-to-arm contact.
Which, for reasons beyond Kevin, affected Macy way more than the hand-to-thigh contact, which in Kevin's opinion was way more affect having. It had taken Macy only a moment to realize what she'd done. Both her hands flexed around his arm as she sighed. Macy had been mid-swoon before she'd caught and pulled herself together in quick succession. "Charts! I'm going to go make some charts and I am so sorry for touching you but I couldn't help it and I probably bothered and creeped you out and I am so sorry!"
And through that all, Joe had stood at the end of the field cackling.

Macy sighed and added a few more angry orange lines to the bristol board in front of her. She was hopeless. Completely and utterly hopeless. She'd been doing so well recently, too. There'd been little moments here and there but she could hardly be blamed for those.
This morning though...
Macy resisted the urge to bang her head on the desk in front of her with a reminder of not wanting two head injuries in one day. How was Kevin supposed to look at her as something other than a silly little fangirl super fan if she kept pulling stunts like those?
Placing the orange marker down, Macy picked up the blue one.
She'd been making huge leaps of progress lately with Kevin. There'd been close proximity and smiles and talking. Talking, actual talking, about everything and anything under the sun. It had been odd at first but Macy was soon able to make a distinct mental difference between normal!Kevin and rockstar!Kevin. And she was hoping Kevin was able to do the same with her and fangirl!her.
Maybe...maybe Kevin didn't want to see her as anything other than fan / friend.
Maybe today's groping incident had wiped away any chance she'd had to begin with.
She knew she should have been content with taking their relationship to 'friend' level but she...she had lofty ideas and tended to crush hard.
Reaching into her bag, Macy pulled out one of the whole-wheat raspberry muffins that Kevin had given her this morning. She'd lost track of how many of them she'd eaten the past few days but they were her favorite and Kevin kept offering them.
Smiling, Macy took a large bite and went back to her charts. Macy was still way too delighted by Kevin randomly producing her favorite kind of muffins from her favorite bakery.
Now if only she could convince him she was worth the effort of a relationship.

Nick was rubbing his head when he came across Stella in the hall.
Stella fell into step with him easily and cocked an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you?"
"Only your friend could hurt someone with ping-pong balls. I have a ping-pong ball injury. I can't tell anyone that."
"Aw, poor..." Stella trailed off as she slowed in the crossway between the halls.
The sight down the hall caused Nick to come to a standstill too. His brother was with Macy, a sight no longer all that surprising, at her locker. What was surprising was the large sheets of paper she was pulling out of her locker, while balancing her soccer equipment, while being in close proximity and talking with Kevin.
"I don't get it," Nick announced suddenly, his gaze still on Kevin and Macy.
"What?" Stella asked, finally pulling her gaze off the elaborate set of charts Macy was pulling from her locker. "What's not to get?"
"Me and Joe are still getting hurt on a regular basis by Macy. The only reason I said hello to her today was because she seemed so fine with Kevin earlier. Why is she only ok with him?"
"Well, she's distracted right now..."
And Macy did look decidedly distracted. She had tacked up her charts to the bank of lockers and seemed to be describing them to Kevin who was scratching his head in what Nick knew to be a confused manner.
"Stella, that's genius."
"Well of course it is...what are you talking about?"
Nick was already heading off towards the computer lab. "I'll see you at lunch. Bye!"

A/N: Ok, I'm cutting it here because the other half was giving me issues and I feared it was getting all clunky. Plus, I wanted to post something this 'weekend'. I'll take a hatchet to the other half and probably post it tomorrow.
Hope ya'll enjoyed!
