"Well, the tickets are good for the next concert too as some kind of promo thing so we can always go in May but we'd have to go all the way to New York for that..."

Hoagie squinted to read the small print on the tickets. He smiled and handed one to Abby, who light grabbed it with a small frown.

"But...we planned this concert last year..." she said, her frown deepening "We aren't..."

"Together? So it's not a date now. It's two friends hanging out."

Abby sighed "I don't know if Erik will like this Hoagie."

Hoagie laughed sarcastically "And? Your boyfriend shouldn't control you hanging out with friends."

She grinned at him then stuck the ticket in her bag "No, he shouldn't."

Rachel sighed as Nigel kissed her neck, slipping a hand under her shirt. He reached up and pulled her blonde hair out of it's ponytail. She flipped the two oover, causing Nigel to laugh, and straddled him.

"We haven't done this in a while." she whispered leaning towards his face "I've missed you."

Nigel chuckled and ran a hand through her hair "I know, I'm sorry."

Rachel shook her head "No, I understand. You have stuff to think about."

She kissed him and giggled when he slid his hand back under her shirt.

Standing by Nigel's bedroom window, Rachel put her hair back in a ponytail as Nigel slipped his glasses back on.

"Did you get in anywhere yet?"

Rachel turned around to look at her boyfriend who was now putting socks on, getting ready to head to work. "Have you?"

Nigel nodded "I haven't."

Rachel sighed and sat down next to him "Are you going to London?"

Nigel froze and avoided her eyes "Probably. I don't know."

"Well, did you apply to schools in London?"

Nigel nodded.

"Did you apply to any in America?"

Nigel shook his head.

"Then it sounds like you're going to London."

He sighed and ushered Rachel over next to him. She sat down and rested her head on his shoulder.

Rachel laughed softly "I'm not going to get angry you want to go to London Nigel."

"I...guess not. I just...love you and I don't want anything to ruin us."

"Like distance? I'll be in New York and you'll be in London?"

Nigel looked at Rachel with wide eyes "Did you get in somewhere?"

The blonde looked at the floor and nodded "Manhattan University."

Nigel smiled and kissed her temple "Great job Rach!"

She grinned at him "I found out last week. I start the second week in September."

Nigel hugged her "God I'm so happy!"

Rachel pulled back and looked in his eyes "Listen, I'm going to go to Manhattan and you're going to go to London. We'll both have tons of fun and we'll still be a great couple regardless if there's an ocean between us." she kissed him and they laid down on the bed together "I love you."

He kissed her back "I love you too, so damn much."

"So when exactly are you leaving?"

Patton glanced over at the redhead "They haven't told me yet."

Fanny nodded while finishing the 3rd math equation on their homework "You can't leave till at least a week after graduation because daddy is throwing one of his parties and you have to be at this one."

Patton groaned dramatically and buried his face in the pillow "-av -in-ye -"

Fanny grinned at him "What?"

He lifted his headd out of the pillow "I've avoided them this long. Why do I gotta go now?"

"Daddy wants you there!" Patton raised an eyebrow at her "Well, okay, he doesn't want you there, but he's finally excepted that you're not going anywhere."

Patton sighed "This is just an opportunity for him to mock me in front of his rich friends and point out how 'toxic' and 'unromantic' we are."

Fanny laughed and set her notebook down, rolling on top of her pouting boyfriend "Well we're both toxic and unromantic so he's insulting me too."

Patton grinned and rolled so he was on top of her, pinning her to the bed "Insulting you is my job."

"And insulting you is the best thing I've got going so I'm not letting my dad take that away from me."

They chuckled and kissed, ignoring the math homework for an afternoon.

Hoagie stared at the girl in shock.

"I'm sorry Hoagie but-"

"But what? Your boyfriend was jealous? I'm your friend! Who cares if we dated, you obviously don't!"

Abby sighed and looked at the snow covered steps outside McClintock Highschool "Maybe we could all do something together-"

"I don't wanna do something together! I want to hang out with you! Like we used to, before you started dating big bad football douche!"

Abby glared at Hoagie "Don't call him that!"

"Why not!? You hang out alone with Wally and Nigel! Hell, you and Patton studied alone in your bedroom! He doesn't care! Then I want to hang out and all of a sudden he gives a shit?!"

Hoagie growled and turned around, stomping towards the school. Abby grabbed his arm.

"Would you wait a damn second?!"

He stopped and glared at her, his eyebrow raising in a questioning manner "Why? So you can defend your Greek Adonis?"

Abby glared "I'm not going to make him uncomfortable! He's my boyfriend!"

"He's your fucking father apparently!" Hoagie chuckled darkly "Actually, your actual father isn't this bad!"

Abby looked at the sky and sighed loudly "This entire overreaction because I can't go to some concert with you!"

"It's not about the fucking concert!"

Abby looked at him in surprise "Then what in the actual hell is it about!?"

Hoagie buried his face in his hands "Well A. your sucky boyfriend and B. I'm going to Oregon in August! I'm gonna miss you like sin and I want to see you before I leave!"

Abby was startled "You're-you're going to Oregon?"

The brown haired boy nodded while pinching the bridge of his nose, his glasses held in his other hand "Oregon State. They sent me the acceptance letter a month ago."

Abby just stared, her dark brown eyes wide "But...we were gonna go to-"

"Yeah well, things change. I know we were going to go to Columbia together but I didn't want to. I want to study computer science not anything related to law. That's your thing. Your thing that I thought I wanted because I wanted to be with you. We'd be the hottest couple at Columbia. The nerdy loser who got the hottest girl he's ever met, but again, things change."

He turned to walk away before turning back and giving the concert tickets to her "Maybe Romeo wants to go."

So, idk how short this is lol but it feels short. There will be a bit of a time skip. It's almost Christmas so we'll see a bit of that (maybe) then it'll be closer to spring and there'll be a lot more college talk.

Excuse me btw for not knowing how college and majors and minors work btw I'm not a college student at all. I'm trying for my GED right now and even that's not going well. I did pretty much get everyone's colleges figured out but now I need to figure out who can live together and what not so I have to find actual apartments for them lol

Hopefully it'll be like:

Fanny-Patton-Rachel

Kuki-Wally-Abby

Bartie-Virginia

Rick-Nigel-Eva

Ect...

We'll see though...
