As soon as her lips made contact with his, she felt his arms slide around her waist and pull her a little closer

As soon as her lips made contact with his, she felt his arms slide around her waist and pull her a little closer. Lil leaned into him, feeling a little awkward at first, as it had been forever since she'd ever kissed someone; in fact Tommy had been the only guy she'd ever kissed. Just as she had gotten out of her boys have cooties faze, that's when she fell for Tommy, and eventually became his girlfriend.

It felt weird kissing someone that wasn't him, she had felt so comfortable with Tommy, their lips on each others had felt so normal, and this was now so new. He nibbled slightly on her bottom lips before pulling away, grinning.

She was breathless, and just as Lucas was about to lean down toward her again-…

"Get a room," Tommy called out callously, throwing them a dirty look, as he walked up the steps to her porch, and leaning against the railing.

Lil felt her heart beat quicken, knowing him as well as she did, she could tell he was mad, and now she was just as nervous as hell, all the while happy to get a reaction from him.

"Don't worry man, planning on it," Lucas replied winking, his arms slinking around her waist again.

Tommy didn't smile, a scowl forming on his face, "Relax with it, she's not like that," He stated evenly, glaring at Lucas before turning to walk back down the steps.

"Oh isn't she? It's been two years, things change," Lucas threw after him, causing Tommy to turn back abruptly.

"So what, she turned into a slut now?" He smirked at the hurt that flashed over Lil's face.

Lil felt tears sting the inside of her eyelids, but a part of her knew he was just being cruel to cover his own hurt, and this was his way of retaliating, trying to hurt her. And no way in hell would she let him see her hurt, so instead she just let out a fake giggle as she stood up slowly, and seductively took a seat on Lucas's lap, "Sure," She shrugged simply, before wrapping her arms around his neck and placing gentle butterfly kisses up his jaw line, a gesture that she knew Tommy use to love.

She didn't know what was causing her to do this, she had never been like this, and nor did she think she had it in her. She had always been shy of being affectionate like this, and so over him, but putting this show on in front of Tommy caused a new confident part of her to shine, a part no one would think existed.

She heard a low growl from behind her, and glanced at him, and just to see how far she could push him, she added a little teasing wink.

He glared at her, clenching his jaw tightly, "Lil,"

She looked up at him innocently, "Yes,"

"I need to talk to you," He demanded.

There was something about the tone he said it in, like a parent uses with a misbehaving child, it was strict and controlling, and she felt herself pull off of Lucas, and follow him to her driveway.

Lil had never been like that, she wasn't like that, she would've never done that in a million years, stoop so low just to get back at Tommy, it was such a disgusting horrible thing to do… but she liked it.

Just for extra measures, she turned to Lucas and blew him a kiss.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He demanded sternly, forcing her attention on him.

Lil felt a smile play on her face, after so many tears and resentment, she finally got her satisfaction, and the anger on his face was enough to make her finally smile again.

She thought about that question, there were so many ways she could answer that, she could either throw his relationship back in his face, or she could burst into an emotional confrontation about the shit he did to her. But this newly forming Lil did neither.

"Nothing," she stated innocently.

It was as if she had pressed a button, she could see the blood rush to his face as he looked like he wanted to hit someone. A part of her worried he'd actually strike her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He burst out angrily, "You call that nothing? Is that really how big of a slut you are?" he finished nastily.

Lil smirked, "And who the hell are you to question me?" She challenged evenly.

Tommy looked a little taken back by this, surprised she retaliated so strongly. The old Lil would've burst into tears by now, "Oh so I'm nothing now?" he asked.

Lil smiled bitterly, "You were nothing the second you walked out on me," She answered, before turning to walk away.

Tommy stood there, open mouthed.

Kimi was wiping down the last few tables when she heard the door open behind her, and she turned to see a sulking Phil enter the Java Lava. She felt her heart beat quicken slowly, as much as she convinced herself that her and Phil are just friends, she couldn't help that her heart raced twice as fast when he was around.

She smiled at him shyly, as she walked behind the counter, as Phil took a seat in front of it, his chin resting in his hand.

"What's up Deville?" She greeted casually.

"Nothing," He mumbled, his fingers slowly drumming against the counter.

"Can I get you anything?" She asked awkwardly, it had been a while since they had last been alone together. Every time they were together, Lil or Chuckie had always been around, and they never directly talked to each other.

Sure they still talked, but that was mostly on Msn, even there, the conversations were pretty limited.

When they were together, Phil use to always come to the Java Lava to keep her company while the place was dead in the afternoons, but this was the first time he came after the break up, and she didn't know what to say to him.

"A smoothie with strawberry-…"

"Half a banana and a pinch of sugar," She finished for him, she didn't mean to, but she knew his regular so well, and had made it a billion times, she couldn't help it.

Phil smiled, causing Kimi to redden slightly, but she played it off, as she busied herself in making his drink, "So, you seem down,"

"No, it's nothing," He mumbled.

"It's obviously something; you might as well spill,"

Phil sighed, "It's that whole Tommy thing, and I wish he wasn't back. I mean, I'm glad he's back for their family, cause had kind of gotten weird after him leaving, but I just, I wish things were different. I don't want Lil to have to deal with him being back,"

Kimi passed him his smoothie as she leaned against the counter thoughtfully, "I don't know, I mean, I think it's better for Lil that he came back and she gets to deal with her feelings for him, then just have him disappeared without a trace, where she could never really completely deal with her feelings,"

"No, I'd rather her not have to hurt over him," he exclaimed incredulously, like Kimi grew another head.

"But she could only move on if she does," Kimi stated annoyed.

"That doesn't make sense," He declared stubbornly.

"It so does,"

"You're wrong Kimi,"

"I'm right!"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," He shrugged, arrogantly.

They both glared at each other, neither ready to back down.

"Oh whatever Phil, you gotta learn to accept that you're not always right," Kimi responded irritated.

"And you gotta learn to accept that you can be wrong," Phil threw back.

"You got to learn to accept that you're not always right," Kimi yelled, her eyes blazing red in anger.

"And you gotta learn to accept that you can be wrong," Phil shot back, following her to the living room of his house.

She turned around angrily, "I'm wrong? What the hell was she doing in your room, you swore to never talk to her, then what the hell was she doing there, answer me!" She accused.

"I told you, we were working on a project, I don't get why the hell you're making a huge deal out of this?"

"A huge deal? Phil what's wrong with you. She has openly admitted to liking you, she had openly friggin admitted to wanting to be with you, and you're telling me it isn't a huge deal that I caught you two in your room together, on the BED!" She screamed red in the face.

"WE WERE WORKING ON A PROJECT!" Phil yelled back, "So stop using "caught" as if we were making out or something," He stated, "And about her liking me, why the hell does that matter, you should trust me, you should trust the fact that no matter what, or who likes me, I would always be faithful to you, I can't believe you think I'd cheat on you, is that really how much you trust me?"

"Oh don't turn this around to that, do not even dare try to play victim on me, I don't think you'd like it very much if you "saw" me in my room with a guy that everyone knew liked me, so don't even bullshit with me, you promised you'd stop talking to her, and I have to come see you in your room with her, I thought you were at a football practice, that's a nice football practice, and you talk about trust," She shot bitterly.

Phil rolled his eyes, "I knew you'd freak if I told you, I didn't want you to go have a heart attack and kill me if I told you she'd be coming over, I told a white lie so you wouldn't freak, it was an innocent meeting to do work, I swear, I can't believe you don't believe me,"

"Don't you get it; you still don't think you're wrong," She accused in exasperation.

"I'm NOT! I didn't cheat; I was doing a god damn project!" He yelled in frustration, "You're the one who went all jealous girlfriend / scary Godzilla on me,"

"So I'm wrong!" She asked shocked, "How dumb are you?"

"You're the dumb one if you think I'm wrong for doing a project with a partner!"

"Oh my god Phillip, you can't admit to anything! We don't agree on anything! You know what, maybe this isn't going to work, since we seriously we disagree about everything,"

"Maybe you're right," He stated evenly, "Oh and Kimi, you're wrong again, we agreed on this,"

She wanted to slap him, as Lil nervously came through the front door, "Uhm guys, time out, break it up," She joked lightly.

They couple glared at each other, before Kimi finally turned to Lil, "Don't worry Lil, we already did," She said, as she brushed past her and stormed out, slamming the door on her way out.

Lil cringed, looking up at the glaring Phil.

"You know what Phil, maybe you're right," Kimi shrugged.

"No, you actually might be right, if she deals with her feelings, she could probably move on," Phil quickly interjected.

They both remembered that night; they both remembered where those exact lines had taken them that night, to a place where they were still at, away from each other.

They both laughed nervously, trying to ignore the conversation completely, and luckily for them the door opened behind them and in walked a noisy pair.

It was Chuckie and Angelica, looking every bit the hot couple they were. First, they were older then the rest of them, and second, they were definitely well known. Angelica had always been the gorgeous bitch, and Chuckie had turned from the adorable geek, to the drooling hunk that Angelica transformed him into.

Her arm linked with his, as she went on with a story she had been tell him, "And she was just like speechless, she knew she couldn't do shit at that point, it was priceless, you should've seen her face,"

Chuckie nodded, smiling slightly, but what was attractive about him now was his cool and collected personality. He wasn't one to burst in emotion; he just kept his calm which was defiantly hot in a mysterious way on him.

"Lovers," Angelica acknowledged with a nod, as Chuckie half-leaned half-sat on the stool one away from Phil's, and Angelica leaned back against his chest, standing between his knees as he wrapped his arms around her waist. They were the perfect pair, both good looking, and extremely cool.

Kimi and Phil blushed slightly, "Shut up Angelica,"

"We're friends," Phil corrected, smiling at Kimi. Kimi nodded, feeling an uneasy tug at her heart.

"Exactly,"

"Whatever," Angelica muttered, rolling her eyes, "Don't think I'm dumb,"

"Why would we? You're just doing an extra year in high school… for fun," Phil teased.

Angelica glared at him as Kimi snickered slightly.

"Shut up guys," Chuckie interjected, "Two more smoothies Kim," he added.

"So, what's up with you guys?" Phil asked, taking a huge sip of his drink.

"Nothing man, just been hanging low lately," Chuckie shrugged.

"Yeah, we've become the boring couple now," Angelica laughed, as she unconsciously played with Chuckie's fingers that were resting on waist.

"You two -and boring?" Kimi exclaimed, "Don't think we haven't heard the Sarah Becket story,"

Angelica grinned deviously as Chuckie sighed in a lazy smile, "That bitch was basically begging for it," Angelica defended.

"Yeah, because she really wanted to start a black-eye trend," Phil stated sarcastically.

"Well, if she really thought she could trip me in the pyramid at the football game, in attempts to get my spot as cheerleading captain, and get away with it? That bitch has it coming," Angelica shrugged with a smirk.

"Oh ok, don't pretend like that's all that went down, I was there remember? You caused a whole cheerleader fight, the game had to stop because there were girls pulling at each other and scratching each others faces out all over half our field." Phil pointed out, trying to contain laughter as he remembered the gruesome scene.

"Yeah well," Angelica laughed proudly.

"Argh, I can't believe I actually missed that, I knew I should've come," Kimi pouted, disappointedly.

Phil laughed, turning to Kimi, "Not only that, of course your hero brother had to barge in and randomly punch our Linebacker, for being Sarah's boyfriend, poor guy didn't see it coming, and of course he retaliated and they started a little football player fight as the guys butt in to help out." Phil told the wide-eyed Kimi, as he pointed at a scar at the side of his lip, "I got this getting pulled in to the fight,"

Angelica smiled, patting him on the back in exaggeration, "Be proud, you still got away easy, I chipped Sarah's front tooth,"

Phil shook his head, "You got a serious left hook,"

She grinned, before tilting her head toward Chuckie, "I was so proud of this guy," She whispered, before giving him tiny pecks on the lips. She giggled when Chuckie tried to capture her lips in lip lock, but she kept pulling away.

Phil and Kimi watched awkwardly, witnessing an intimate scene like that was way too weird for the two, as they attempted to look anywhere but at the couple or each other.

Kimi loudly placed the two glasses in front of them, attempting to get their attention, but they ignored her as Angelica turned around in Chuckie's arms to face him, and leaned into his lips again, smiling.

"Ok, ok guys stop," Phil finally interjected, not able to take the awkwardness anymore.

Angelica sighed loudly, "Why are we here again?" She complained.

"Hey guys,"

They all turned to see Lil walk in through the doors, but she wasn't alone, she was with a guy they all recognized. He was part of the football team, and quite popular, Lucas.

Phil was a little surprised at this, he was surprised that afternoon when he had come to talk to Lil, but he didn't think they were friends, seeing them together was weird. Lil had broken off from all the jocks after Tommy left, even her mutual friends with Tommy on the team, she just shut off. The only jocks she let herself close to were obviously her brother, and long time friend Chuckie.

She had started to hate everything about the jocks, and felt that they were all fakes. But here she was, with one of their biggest jocks at school, the guy who had basically taken Tommy's spot as top jock in their school.

They neared the foursome, "Ok, you can stop staring," Lil teased, "We just want some doughnuts,"

They just all stared at the new pair, before it finally registered, and Kimi nodded quickly.

Lucas laughed, "This isn't awkward at all," He said in good-natured sarcasm, as he bumped fists with the two guys and nodded at the two girls.

Chuckie was a little surprised at this, because he remembered class a few days ago where Lil rolled her eyes the second Lucas walked in, and laughed when he threw gum at him.

As soon as Kimi finished their order, the two of them excused themselves and found a table for themselves.

Angelica frowned slightly, "Wasn't she suppose to be obsessed with my cousin still?" She asked confused, "And how did she score that piece of hunk with her constant sulking attitude," She stated in bewilderment, "Very yummy," She winked at Kimi to Chuckie's glare, "What? He's pretty good-looking," She defended, before mouthing the word hot to Kimi.

Chuckie rolled his eyes at her, before turning to look at them as well, "I guess she's over Tommy?" He asked confused.

"Thank god if that's true," Phil exclaimed, still not fully understanding what's going on. Just that afternoon she was crying in the car over Tommy, how could she be out and about with Lucas already?

"I can't believe she didn't tell me!" Kimi complained, happily eyeing the pair.

Lucas and Lil sat across from each other, engaging in light conversation as Lil broke into a comfortable smile every once in a while. It was so weird to see her so comfortable with him, she had been so distant to the male population for the last while.

"She is one lucky biatch, he's friggin-…" But she trailed off when she caught Chuckie's raised brow, "Friggin good guy," She finished with an innocent smile before turning to Kimi and mouthing HOT!

Chuckie pulled away from Angelica, "You know what, I'm out of here, I don't want to see my girlfriend drooling over another guy for another second,"

But before he could turn away, Angelica wrapped her arms around his shoulders affectionately, "Did I ever tell you how hot you look when you're jealous,"

"I'm not jealous," He argued stubbornly.

"Oh, of course not," She agreed mockingly, leaning in to peck his lips shut before he could go any further.

"Mmph," Chuckie stuttered between the kisses.

Phil rolled his eyes, and made a gagging face towards Kimi, causing her to stifle a laugh. Phil grinned, but the realized she wasn't smiling anymore and a frown had replaced her beautiful face, he turned in his seat towards the direction her eyes were now at, and he understood…

Hand in hand walked in, Tommy and Teresa.

A/n A LONG UPDATE! I'll say! C'mon, pretty darn long compared to my usual. PLEASE repay me with a great ass review! Lol. In this chapter we get to see a little more depth into Phil and Kimi's relationship, or lack thereof / lingering feelings. Chuckie and Angelica make their couple appearance. And in the end, either there's an upcoming showdown or tremendous awkwardness.
