A/n: Yet another update from Zinaalla!!!! Go me, it's my birthday!!!!! Okay, not for another 39 days!!!!! TeeHee!!!!!!

Zoey, Chase, Quinn, Adam, Michael, Lola, Paul and Nicole sat at one table and Maddy, Dana, Jodie, Logan, Dizzy, Dustin, Rachael and Tia, Chase's hyperactive eleven year old sister.

"I know something you don't know! Na na, na na! I know something you don't! Oh da doo da day!" Tia sang.

"What?" Dizzy asked excitedly.

"Nothing!" Tia sniggered.

Dizzy and Rachael laughed. Dustin failed to see the humor.

"Maddy, do you have any siblings?" Jodie smiled.

"Yeah, see that guy over there?" Maddy points at Adam, "That's my older brother!"

"And your social life?" Jodie dug deeper.

Maddy's face grew red. Dana and Logan looked slightly uncomfortable and Rachael gulped.

"So?" Jodie asked not realising everyone's reaction.

"Single." Maddy muttered.

"I don't see why, you're one hot chick!" Jodie exclaimed.

"There's a good reason for that!" Dana raised her eye brows.

"Oh..." Jodie bit her lip and turned and pinky shade.

"I'm alright, Dana! I can talk about it!" Maddy sighed confidently.

"Okay." Dana apologised.

"I'm a lesbian, Jodie!" Maddy buried her head.

"So's Kate!" Jodie unusually smiled.

"Kate's a lesbian?" Dana asked shocked.

"Yeah, has been for the last year! She claims she gets a kick out of girls she could never get from guys!" Jodie shrugged.

Xx

Over at the other table Michael scowled at Maddy as she explained her life. Lola looked from him to her. She swore she saw his gaze soften.

"What do you think of Jodie?" Zoey asked looking warily and the blonde version of Dana as she smiled away.

"She's cool!" Lola grinned knowing Zoey completely disagreed.

"She called me a spaz!" Nicole moaned.

"No-one calls Nicole a spaz!" Paul warned.

"Except Dana." Nicole whispered.

"What do you think Chase?" Lola asked trying to take the subject away from how spazzy Nicole is.

"She's alright, I suppose." Chase muttered.

"Michael?" Lola smiled at her fake/real boyfriend.

"She's like Dana!" Michael shrugged, his eyes were still focused on Maddy.

"Michael, come with me!" Lola tugged on his sleeve and dragged him off.

Michael followed her willingly.

Xx

When they were at the fountain, Lola turned and faced him.

"Michael, you love Maddy!" Lola stated.

"No!" Michael argued.

"Yes, you do!" Lola shouted.

"I-"

"Shut up! I knew you did! I was acting! I pretended to like you, to see if you still liked her! I knew it!"
"What are you talking about?"

"Face facts!"

"They're wrong facts!"

"No! You like her! She likes you! You abuse her because you can't admit that!"

"How do you know that?"

"I'm psychic!?!"

"When did she tell you I hit her?"

"Dana told us all actually!"

"I knew that BITCH was trouble!"

"Dana is not trouble! I know she is not perfect, but she's her! Now go to Maddy, tell her you love her and kiss her!"

"No!"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid!"

"Afraid of what? Rejection?"

"No!"

"Good, she loves you!"

"I'm afraid of what'll happen!"

"I'll go and get her! It can be your secret! I won't tell anyone! I can just say I broke up with you or something!"

"That'd be good!"

Lola left Michael to sit on the fountain and think.

Xx

Lola approached the tables. No-one looked up. Lola walked towards Maddy.

"Can I have a word?" she asked.

"Um...sure!" Maddy stuttered.

She reluctantly left the table and waved Dana, Jodie and Logan goodbye. Maddy then followed Lola away from both tables and up towards the fountain.

Xx

Michael waited half-eagerly, half-worriedly for Lola to return and bring Maddy.

"I'm back, Michael!" Lola smiled.

"Hey! Maddy." Michael greeted.

"Michael!" Lola insisted.

She then sat back on the fountain and forced Michael up.

"Maddy, I'm sorry I hit you!" Michael apologised.

"I forgive you!" Maddy turned to leave.

Michael grabbed her arm, "I love you!"

"How could someone who loves me hurt me?" Maddy turned to face him.

"Sounds like someone else I know!" Michael took both her hands in his.

"I'm sorry!" Maddy's brown eyes dulled.

"I'm sorry too!" Michael smiled.

"And in for the kiss." Lola muttered.

The two looked at her awkwardly.

"Sorry!" Lola's rosy cheeks flushed redder.

Michael lent in on Maddy and kissed her passionately. Maddy kissed him back.

Xx

After a few minutes they broke apart. Both were red with embarrassment and Lola was smiling at a task well accomplished.

"We're not telling anyone, are we?" Maddy whispered.

"Please Maddy! Don't!" Michael pleaded.

"I'd prefer it if we didn't anyway!" Maddy smiled.

"And my work here is done!" Lola exclaimed.

"This was all part of your plan wasn't it!" Maddy asked, the idea had just hit her.

"Sort of!" Lola confessed.

"And unusually I'm okay with that!" Michael beamed.

Lola started to cry.

"Lola?" Maddy asked worriedly.

"It's part of the act!"Lola sniffed as she walked back to the tables.

Xx

Two days later Dana was in the bathroom throwing up.

"Dana?" Jodie shouted through the door.

Dana didn't respond, but carried on chucking her guts up.

"Is the door locked?" Jodie yelled.

Jodie then lightly pushed the door and it swung open. She knelt down beside her sister and swept back her hair.

"What did you eat last night?" Jodie asked calmly.

"Pizza." Dana lifted her head.

Her face was pale, her hair ratty and eyes dull.

"Dana, have you slept with Logan?" Jodie whispered.

Dana nodded her head before throwing up again.

"I'll get Jeni!" Jodie sighed.

Jodie then removed her scrunchie and put it in Dana's hair.

"Don't move!" Jodie warned.

"Do you honestly think I can?!?" Dana choked.

Jodie shut the cubicle door behind her and ran to find Jodie. Dana began to cry.

Xx

Jodie ran into her shared dorm with Jeni and Krissy. Jeni looked up from her nails and Krissy looked up from her usual everyday last minute homework.

"Pregnancy test?" Jeni asked.

"Over there!" Jeni gestured, "Who for?"

"Dana!" Jodie replied as she grabbed a pregnancy test from Jeni's stash.

"Logan's?" Krissy sighed.

"Been there, done that!" Jeni sighed.

"Hmmm!" Krissy added.

"Bye!" Jodie waved as she ran out the room.

Xx

"I'm back!" Jodie exclaimed.

"I'm done!" Dana stated.

"Here!" Jodie gave her the test.

"Thanks!" Dana mumbled.

Xx

"You never speak of your home life, Logan!" Zoey stated at breakfast.

"I do!" Logan protested.

"Not your dad!" Chase laughed.

"There's just me, dad, Kelsi and Jaz!" Logan shrugged.

"Jaz?" Dana asked whilst cradling her throbbing head.

"My three month old half-sister!" Logan sighed.

"Oh!" Dana half-moaned.

She pushed her porridge to the side and covered her mouth. Her eyes slowly started to close.

"Dana? Stay awake!" Jodie nudged her.

"Tell them I'm not going to class today." Dana groaned.

"Okay." Logan answered glancing nervously at her pale face and messy hair.

Dana allowed her eyes to close. Jodie let her. Logan let her. They all let her.

Xx

Dana lay in her bed.

"How could this be happening to me?" she moaned.

Her head was throbbing, her stomach lurching and the room spinning.
