Clare was sitting with K.C. at the lunch table talking about Brenston and how Alli was going to be forced to be engaged to him. K.C. wasn't really thrilled about it. He already had Johnny to worry about and now this new guy. He wanted to know who he was and let him know that if he ever hurt Alli he was going to have to deal with him.

"What's the matter?" Clare placed her hand on top of his which was resting on the table.

"I just don't see how she just keeps getting stuck with idiots." He pulled his hand from underneath Clare's to slam his fist on the table. "I'm so sick of it. She just doesn't know what she needs." Clare frowned as her anger rose.

"And what exactly does she need?" Clare stood up, looking down at him. "I've tried to just put this off that you are just worried about a friend but now I'm starting to think you are really jealous." She stormed off out of the cafeteria, leaving him alone with Connor who was staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" K.C. snapped at Connor.

"Nothing." Connor lowered his head and continued eating his food.


Alli was sitting in the car with Johnny sharing some nachos they bought a few blocks down from the school. "These are so good." Alli said with a smile.

"Yeah, but you know what tastes better?" Johnny glanced at her.

"No, what?" She looked over at him, wondering what it was.

"You."

Alli blushed and stopped eating. She was feeling shy now. Johnny took her hand in his and was about to speak when someone banged on the window furiously.

They both looked towards the window near Johnny, seeing Brenston standing there with a Wolli DooWop bag in his hand.

"What the hell?" Johnny raised the window down, looking up at Brenston. "Wolli DooWoop? You gotta be kidding me. Does that place even exist?"

"Tsk, tsk. I don't have time for your rude remarks." Brenston looked over at Alli. "I would like to speak with you?"

"What for?" Alli's stomach turned.

"I don't think you should be in the car with an older guy like him. He's trouble." Brenston walked around to the other side, opening the car door. "Come, come now." He offered his hand to her.

Johnny felt the nerve to get out and beat him to the ground. It was enough that he had to deal with this whole situation to begin with. On top of it, having him take Alli away whenever he felt like it made him beyond angry.

Alli chuckled nervously, looking over at Johnny. "It will only be a little while." She looked back up at Brenston, signaling that she could get out of the car without his help. Johnny rolled his eyes in disgust and reclined his chair, lying back in his seat.


I'm sorry, it's a very short chapter. I wanted to get something up fast because you all have been waiting so long. I have shocking news, I'm pregnant again! A reason why I haven't been working as much on this chapter. I will try and get everything on track but it's hell. I need a job before I start showing and am far behind in my goals. I enjoy writing though and appreciate all the reviews. Sorry if I sound a bit edgy, I'm just not sure how I'm going to survive. My fiance is working but I need to work too so that we can have things that we want in life. Again, I will try and work on the story more often.
