10. The Untitled Chapter

Authors Note: Hey guys, check this out! Joan-n=joa Joa=Joan of Arcadia. That's kinda cool when you think about it long enough.. Or maybe I'm just a freak. Anyway.. I'm having weird visuals of Joan and Adam double dating with Luke and Grace, so if that comes up anywhere in the story..

Joan and Adam broke their kiss, needing air. Not wanting to fully break contact, they leaned their foreheads against each other.

"Hey Jane?" Adam asked.

"Hm?"

"We've only been going out for two weeks, right?"

"Yeah.."

"Would you call me crazy if I told you something, yo?"

"That depends.." Joan said, having no idea what so ever where this was going.

"Well.. I've been told I should wait to tell you this, but.. I love you Joan," Adam said. Joan pulled away from him, looking him in the eyes. She smiled.

"I love you too Adam," she told him. The two were kissing again when a familliar voice from above spoke.

"Aww.."

Joan and Adam broke their kiss and looked up, seeing a soaking wet Grace, and a soaking wet Luke.

"Very funny," Joan said. Then she noticed something. A smile spread over her face.

"Are you two.. holding hands?" Joan asked, when the answer was obvious. Grace and Luke looked down and quickly let go of each others hand, both turning very red.

"Dude.." Adam said.

"Dude yourself," Grace said, taking the empty seat next to Joan. Luke took the empty seat inbetween Adam and Grace. After ten minutes of talking, the bell went off.

That afternoon, Joan, Adam and Grace walked out of the school together, talking about the chemestry homework.

"So, I'll see you guys at three?" Joan asked, setting the time that Adam and Grace would be going to the Girardi's house to work on their chem homework.

"Deal," Grace said.

"See you there," Adam told Joan. Grace and Adam turned right and headed for their houses, and Joan turned right, walking towards the parking lot. When Joan reached the parking lot, Luke was sitting on the trunk of the car, waiting for Joan. She unlocked the doors, and she and Luke climbed in.

"So.. You and Grace eh?" Joan asked, driving out of the parking lot.

"Yeah, I guess so," Luke said. A pause.

"You and Adam seemed to have a productive lunch yourselves," Luke said. Joan smiled.

"He told me he loves me."

"I heard." Joan pulled into the driveway of the Girardi household and she and Luke got out of the car and walked into their house. Joan went into the kitchen and threw her backpack on the table.

"Mom? Grace and Adam are coming over to work on homework okay?" Joan asked her mother. Helen was looking at something in the freezer.

"Sure. You sound unusually happy Joan," Helen said.

"That's because Adam and Joan love each other," Luke said, entering the kitchen. Joan chucked her planner at him.

"Hey!"

"Hey nothing Mr. I-was-holding-hands-with-Grace-Polk-durning-lunch!" Joan said. Luke threw Joan's planner at her. Helen stoop up and closed the freezer. She looked at her kids, and pointed at Luke.

"You and Grace are a couple?" she asked. Joan took this as a chance to escape. No such luck. "Stay put Joan, you're next."

"Um.. Yes.." Luke told his mother, not sounding to sure. Helen smiled.

"Well we all knew it would happen." She turned to Joan.

"You and Adam said that you loved each other?" Joan nodded.

"We all knew that was coming too. If have the most obvious kids in the world. So, want me to order a pizza tonight?"

"Um.. Alright.." Joan and Luke said in unison. Helen nodded and walked upstairs. Joan unpacked her backpack, then threw it in the living room.

"Wanna sit in with us?" Joan asked.

"You just want my answers," Luke said.

"Of course," Joan told him as the doorbell rang. She walked into the living room and answered the door.

"Two out of three, yo?" Adam asked Grace. Neither noticed the door was opened.

"Adam, I've been beating you at thumb wrestling since we were three. You aren't gonna win," Grace said. Joan coughed.

"Oh, hey Jane."

"Hey Adam, hey Grace," Joan said, stepping aside. Adam and Grace entered her house, and the three went into the kitchen. Luke was still in there, sitting at the table reading.

"You make your decision?" Joan asked. Luke looked up from his book.

"Joan, you aren't cheating off of me. Besides, watching you try and do the work is entertaining." Joan grabbed the first thing she could find, which happened to be her planner, and threw it at her brother, again.

"Can you stop doing that?!" Luke asked as Joan, Adam and Grace sat down. Joan opened up her book and put it infront of Adam who was in the middle of the three, so they could all see it. They started going over the homework, trying to figure out the answers. Grace looked at the book to copy something down when she noticed Adam and Joan stealing looks at each other. She shook her head.

"I think you two are studying the wrong kind of chemestry," Grace said under her breath. Luke was the only one who heard her. He laughed a little. Grace looked up at Luke and back down at her paper. This continued for three minutes, alternating who was looking at whom, when Joan spoke up.

"Who's studying the wrong type of chemestry now?" she said under her breath. Grace glared at Joan.

Authors Note: Just to let you know, the next few chapters are gonna be mostly Adam and Joan.

"Funny," she said.
