It was obvious that the whole serious talk was over at that point, and that was when outta nowhere that Brian hopped up and sprinted to the music room and rock music blasted out of the room.

Pat Benatar's We Are Young blasted through the library seconds later and we all jumped up, dancing around. It usually wasn't in my taste, but it was somewhat okay. John jumped onto the statue in the middle of the room, leaving the rest of us to dance around in different places, my place just happened to be on the table. We all actually got along for a total of ten minutes before John stopped his dangerous head-banging long enough to look at the clock.

"Time to go?" I guessed, ceasing my craziness for a minute.

He nodded and stepped towards me. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him. His head dipped down and his lips pressed to mine gently. He pulled away after a few seconds. "See you tonight?"

I nodded. "11?"

"Sure," he said before stepping away. I watched him as he walked away and over to a large bookshelf, climbing ontop of it before jumping and pulling himself up into the ceiling where the huge hole was from his last encounter and disappearing.

By this time, the music had quieted down and everyone had watched him climb into the ceiling.

"Is he for real?" Andy said, a hint of disbelief in his tone.

I laughed, watching the ceiling tiles bend slightly as John crawled over them. "That's a spider monkey for ya."

Around thirty minutes later we were all bored again, sitting around the room. Claire was sweet-talking Brian into writing a whole paper and giving us all credit for it. Brian fell for it and got to work quickly. Claire took Allison to the bathroom for an apparent make-over, leaving me and Sporto behind.

"So you and Bender huh?" he asked, fiddling with his jacket.

"Yup," I said, finishing off my bag of gummy worms.

"When did that happen?"

"Does it matter?"

"I just wanted to know."

"Yeah, well. Ask him. He's the one that initiated it."

When he didn't reply, I looked up at him to see him eye-screwing a totally made over Allison. She looked all…preppy would be the best word for it. Don't get me wrong, she was pretty, but I liked the old Allison better.

While they went and started talking, I slipped from the room while everyone was distracted and I went to the only closet that I could think of that Vernon would lock John in and tried the handle. It was locked with the key in the handle…it was just like Vernon to pull something idiotically clever like that.

I turned the key and let myself inside, seeing that John was sitting down on an old desk, leaning back, and looking almost asleep. I shut the door behind me and grinned at the almost surprised look on his face.

"Get lost on the way to the water fountain?" he asked.

"Yup, took a few wrong turns and landed my ass here with you. But I guess it's worth it," I said, sitting down on the desk beside him, putting my legs over his lap and my feet on the other side of his legs.

"Hm. Kind of glad you did," he said, scooting me closer.

I smiled at him before reaching up and kissing the base of his neck softly, then his lips. I felt him wrap his arms around my torso and held me tightly against him.

I eventually returned to the library, and just in time because Vernon came in and dismissed us, reminding me I was to be here next weekend, causing me to roll my eyes. As we were walking down the long corridor, Bender joined us, lacing his fingers through mine and squeezing my hand gently. Andy was still staring at Allison, and something told me that there was something big gonna happen between those two. Brian was following after Claire like a puppy dog again, no big surprise.

We passed Carl the Janitor on the way out, who was smiling like a sly dog when he caught sight of John and me together.

"See ya next weekend," I said, smirking at him. He just nodded towards the both of us and watched us leave.

We got to the parking lot and I stopped and looked at John. "Do you wanna ride home or something?"

He shook his head. "Nah, I gotta go take care of some business. I'll still meet you over at your house, yeah?"

I nodded and leaned up to kiss him, him meeting me halfway. I pulled away and looked at him. "You better be there or you're totaled."

He smirked. "Totally?"

I rolled my eyes and kissed him chastely one more time before backing away from him towards my car. "Totally."
