Author's Note: Again thanks for the support you guys. Seriously, I love getting reviews on this story. I love writing this story. It's very sort of teen melo drama isn't it? I think this comes from the obscene amount of OC I've been watching. Anyway, you probably want to read the story. Enjoy.

Chapter 10: Discovery

"Hi," Kelly said, walking up to Scooter in the hallway, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Kel," He moved them down, as he pulled away, "Come on," he slipped them into an empty classroom, he then put his hands on her waist and kissed her.

"Scooter," she sighed, "Still? Last night you said you loved me!"

"And I do," he sighed, "I just, still haven't had a chance to talk to him is all. With all the Duck get back planning and everything." She nodded, not sadly, just understanding.

"Well, here's and added enticement for you," she kissed him softly, "Now that I know how you feel, I was thinking, after gala, maybe we could," she kissed him again. He pulled her closer, she didn't even pull back when his hands wandered down her backside, he loved her, she could bend the rules a little.

"I would like that very much," he whispered, still kissing her.

"But only if you talk to Rick first," she said, resting her hands on his chest. "I'm just starting to feel really uncomfortable, hiding it from him."

"I'll take care of it." He kissed her again. "I promise." She smiled, and closed her eyes tightly as he was holding her to him. "I love you."

"I love you too," she said. "Oh, so I told him that I'm taking you."

"You did," he laughed, "And?"

"Good," she said, imitating Rick's voice, "He won't try to feel you up or anything." He laughed. "Little does he know," she kissed him, "That you've been trying to feel me up for three months now."

"Unsuccessfully, I might add," he kissed her. "I think I am the only guy in this school who it's taken three months to get to second base with his girlfriend."

"Mm," she kissed him. "Girlfriend, I like that you called me your girlfriend."

"I like that you're my girlfriend," he kissed her, "Now, about second base," his hand wandered up, and her unbuttoned the light pink cardigan she was wearing, and slipped it off, she was still wearing a tee shirt underneath. He laughed, she really was far to good.

"Talk to him," she slipped away, "Then we'll see about bases. I love you."

"I love you too," he smiled, and shook his head as she skipped out. She had him under her spell, Kelly Riley, beautiful, sweet and untouchable. And he was in love with her, no question about it. He knew what he needed to do.

Allie walked past in the hallway to see Kelly Riley emerge from a classroom giddy and giggling. She knew that kind of giggle, she was the queen of that giggle. But there was nothing on any social radar about Kelly and any of the guys in their circle, and she knew that Kelly Riley would be more likely cut off her own left foot than date down. She watched the door for a minute to see who emerged next. Her jaw dropped when she saw Scooter walk out and look around cautiously, and then smile, his hands casually in his pockets. So no wonder no one knew.

"Hey," Luis came up and kissed her. She smiled.

"Hi," she said. There was something really amazing about having someone who completely and totally adored her. He kissed her again. They came to this corridor during school hours because it was usually empty, which was probably why Scooter had brought Kelly here. Cheating on Rick wasn't exactly difficult, at least not emotionally, there wasn't much emotion tied up in their relationship. Not that there was a whole lot with Luis either, it was all physical. Well, as physical as it got. She wouldn't sleep with him, not while she had a boyfriend. She wasn't a total whore, and she fully intended on breaking up with Rick at some point. "Luis," she said quietly.

"Mmhm," He nodded as he moved down to her neck.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" She asked. He looked at her.

"No," he said, "Why would you even say that?"

"Rick thinks I'm stupid." She sighed.

"Well then he's the stupid one," Luis smiled and kissed her again, "I mean, it's not like you and I actually talk much, but I definitely don't think you're stupid." They kept kissing.

Kelly ran back realizing she had left her sweater behind while she and Scooter had been making out, she stopped when she saw Allie Sanders wrapped around a guy who was decidedly not her older brother. She gasped, realizing that it was audible, when they stopped and turned around. Not only was the guy she was with not Rick, no no, he was Luis Mendoza. Allie cheating with a Duck, she was completely thrown off.

"Hi Kelly," Allie smiled wistfully, "Luis, baby," She kissed him again, "Would you excuse us?" Kelly glared at him.

"Yeah," he mumbled, "I'll um, go, I guess." He walked away. Kelly crossed her arms and stared off with the much taller blonde.

"You cannot tell Rick about this," Allie said, after about two minutes of the staring contest.

"Oh really," Kelly said, "See, seeing his girlfriend cheating on him is something I would tell my brother."

"We all have our little secrets," Allie said, "I'd also think fooling around with his best friend is something you'd tell him about. Obviously I was mistaken."

"How did you know?" She said quietly.

"Well let's see," Allie said, "I come down here to meet Luis, see you scamper off with this goofy giggle, and then a few minutes later see Scooter walk out all pleased with himself." Kelly looked down. "Looks like Kelly Riley, perpetual good girl, isn't so perpetually good anymore."

"Nothing happened." Kelly said. "I mean, yes we're together, but,"

"Still snow white Kel?" Allie teased. "Probably helps that no guy's ever wanted to touch you. That haughty, I'm better than everyone attitude really turns them off." Kelly's face was getting more and more red. "So here's the deal, you keep your mouth shut, I'll keep mine, ok?"

"Fine," Kelly said, stomping off in a huff. Not that it mattered if Allie told Rick, since Scooter was probably telling him right now.

"Jimmy," Julie surprised him at his locker, "Hi, I wanted to talk to you."

"Hi," He said, "What's up? By the way, Rick, totally chilled out, no pun intended, overnight as I said."

"Yeah, you're really smart," She brushed it aside, "Look, about the other night, is there a reason you didn't kiss me?"

"Um," Jimmy looked down embarrassed, "You really cut to the quick there huh?"

"Yeah," she sighed, "Look, if you don't like me like that, and you just want to be friends, its fine, I mean, it wouldn't be the first time,"

"No!" He said, and then smiled awkwardly, "No, I mean, it's not like I didn't want to kiss you, but, well," he sighed, "I don't want to be Rick."

"What?" She said confused.

"He always rushes things with girls," Jimmy mumbled, "He sort of goes through them you know, and I like you and well,"

"I get it," she smiled, "Really, I do." She kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you later?"

"Definitely," he said. He walked away with a smirk on his face, not even seeing his brother and Cole standing right there.

"I don't like it man," Rick shook his head, "I don't trust her, I don't trust that she's with him."

"So the kids getting some scholarship ass," Cole shrugged, "It's not like you never went there."

"Yeah," Rick said, "Whatever, after Friday, if she even talks to him again it'll be a miracle."

"Rick, listen," Scooter walked up, "I really need to talk to you."

"Yeah," Rick said, "You keep saying that, I keep blowing you off," he sighed, "What's going on? You finally ready to come out of the closet man," He smirked, Scooter glared, "Because if that's it, I support you, and I called it when we were sophomores, Cole is my witness." Cole laughed.

"Cole," Scooter said, "This is kinda a me and Rick thing," he said. Cole shrugged and walked away.

"You sent Cole away?" Rick said, "This is big man, what's up? You dying or something?"

"No, nothing like that," Scooter laughed, "It's about Kelly,"

"Yeah, thanks for taking her to gala man," Rick said, "Or is she taking you? Whatever, it's cool of you to go. Means a lot to her, and you know how she gets with stuff like this, all tunnel visioned and weird."

"Yeah, its more than gala," Scooter said, "Me and Kelly, that is, we're, well,"

"Check it," Rick said, as Luis walked past, "Smug little Duck. That's the one that won't leave Allie alone," He shook his head, "I should flatten him."

"Just leave them alone man," Scooter shrugged, "They didn't do much. They definitely didn't ask to be here. Plus, Julie, she's kinda cool."

"You too?" Rick shook his head, "What's with this chick?"

"You seem to be in a much better mood," Charlie said to Fulton that day at lunch. "What's going on?"

"Ate at Tammy's last night," he smirked. "She said she wants to come to all our games."

"Did you ask her out?" Connie snapped, after over hearing. Fulton shrugged. "She wants you to Fulton, she really likes you."

"Sometimes its not so easy," Charlie said, looking over at Linda. She had been avoiding him, and it really bummed him out. He just wanted to talk to her again, explain that he was having a bad day, surely she would understand that? Everyone looked up as the varsity team approached their table. Charlie looked up warily as Rick Riley clapped him on the shoulder.

"Just wanted to congratulate you guys on the Blake game," He smiled at them, Scooter offered Julie the briefest of winks.

"Yeah right," Charlie said glumly. "We tied."

"Hey, a points a point." Rick said. "You guys proved your guts, and you all set for dinner on Friday?"

"Dinner?" Russ said confused.

"It's an Eden Hall tradition," Rick smireked, "Varsity have to treat the freshman to dinner. So meet us at six, at the Minnesota club, downtown. Anyone needs a ride we can take you. You guys like steak and seafood right?"

"Yeah we do," Charlie scoffed.

"Great," Rick said. They started turning around.

"Listen," Cole looked at them, "I don't like you pukes, alright? But this is a tradition. At Eden Hall I learned to care about tradition." He walked away.

"It's cool," Adam assured them, saying some of the first words they had heard from him in days.

"It's cool," They repeated as he walked away.

"Banksie says its cool," Guy laughed, putting an arm around Connie. They pecked each other lightly. Julie looked down.

"Jules," Charlie said, "Do you think you could double check it with Jimmy?"

"He's not our spy," Julie snapped, "I'd feel weird."

"Get past your weirdness Cat," Russ said, "Do it for the team!"

"Fine," she grumbled, "But if he gets mad at me, I'll kill you all!"
