A/N: Did I forget to mention that all songs mentioned, for this fic's purpose, have been made so that they are the character's original creations? No? Well THEY ARE! Only for this though, 'cause my original songs suck.

Chapter Two: Christmas

"ARG! It's so.... confuzing. I'll never get it" Marco said, pouting.

Tobias sighed, "Yeah well, you don't have to keep up at least a B average so you can stay in the group."

"Practice giving you a hard time??"

"No. My uncle on the other hand...." Tobias sighed, "He can't accept the fact that I'm bi, so he treatens me with the band." The band, consisting of Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Ax, and Tobias, meet most of the time and do shows at clubs. Tobias liked spending time with his best friends. Rachel and Tobias did go out for a while, but uit didn't work out, Tobias was glad they had remained friends. Rachel goes 'guy spotting' with him, and he goes shopping with her. Basically, she was a great excuse to leave his uncle's ouse for long peroids of time, without being called on 'acting suspisious'.

"So? I'm right out gay. My dad's cool with it."

"You have it easy."

"Well......." Marco grined, "He wasn't exactly happy when he caught me making out with Juan."

"That guy on the basket ball team, with Jake? He's.....?"

"Yeah." Marco grined, "He's a great kisser, Dad didn't appear to think so, but he knows I'd never go all the way with someone unless it's the person I'm spending the rest of my life with."

"You're so old fashioned." Cassie said, walking over to them.

"Cass, you've been dating Ax since the sixth grade. It doesn't matter with you."

"Oh bite me." She said, setting down her lunch.

Tobias rolled his eyes, "Cass, is there practice today?"

"Yeah. Jake's house. Need a lift?"

"No, I'm good. You guys want me to get munchies or no?"

"Nah, I think we'll just raid Jake's frige." Cassie said, biting into her sandwich

"Okay."

They ate in silence as Marco pasked up his things, "Well, I'm gonna go to the math teacher, see if she'll help me out."

"Later Marco." Tobias turned to Cassie, "You told me you were writing a song?"

"Yeah. It's called Christmas. ButI'm having some trouble with it."

"Could you sing some of it? Maybe I can help?"

"I'd rather nopt. I'll play it when it's done."

"Alright. Bye Cassie." The bell rang and Tobias walked to Math. This day was starting to suck.
