(A/N sorry its taken so long to update. I got carried away with another story. Kinda short but I'm working on it. I'm sorry if the whole Merton/Lisa thing is rushed but when I wrote it I never meant it to be posted. But anyway I hope you enjoy it. R&R please.)

The next day at school Merton was still beaming from his kiss with Lisa, he walked up to Tommy and Lori

"Hi, you'll never guess what?!" Merton said excitedly. Before the pair could answer Lisa walked over, in her uniform. She grabbed Mertons arm and pulled him away from his friends. She took a breath

"Merton, I've been thinking. I know I'm a cheerleader and my friends wont approve what with the cruel social structure of High School and everything. But I'd really like to go out with you." She stopped, waiting for his answer.

"Sure as long as you don't mind going out with a Goth," Merton said looking down at the ground. Lisa lifted up his head and looked in his eyes,

"I don't mind going out with you," Merton smiled. Just then three of Lisa's cheerleading friends came over, sneering at Merton.

"Lisa, what are you doing with the freaker?" Merton was very aware of Lori and Tommy watching, he felt self-conscious with the girls looking at him like he was dirt.

"I was just, err," Lisa stuttered, Merton looked down at the floor, sure she was going to deny even knowing him, then she raised her head "Talking to my boyfriend," she sais defiantly and put her arm around Merton, the girls sneered and walked off. Before leaving the head cheerleader turned around.

"Don't bother showing up for cheerleading practice," and walked off. Lisa looked devastated. Her arm dropped from Mertons shoulder.

"I, I have to go," she walked off hurriedly. Merton didn't know but he thought she was crying.

"Its only cheerleading," Lori said from behind him.

Lisa didn't hardly talk to anyone the rest of the day, she did however go home at lunch to change out of her cheerleading uniform.

Lisa went to Merton's after school, she silently sat on his bed and looked him in the eyes,

"The girls said if I, if I dump you. They'll let me back on the team. So," Merton braced himself for rejection "So I quit," she waited for it to sink in. He smiled and Lisa laughed as she pulled him onto the bed and kissed him. They stayed up until 1:00 am talking. Lisa sloped home and snuck in.

Merton took Lisa to the factory with Tommy and Lori: he thought it would be good for her to hang with them as her friends had pretty much abandoned her after they found out about Merton.

After the factory Lisa went to Mertons lair and found the first album of photos again. Merton tried to get it back. History repeated itself and they ended up on the bed kissing. They didn't break off this time.

Merton woke up, naked next to Lisa, she was still asleep. Merton watched her sleep awhile before she rolled over and woke up facing him.

"Hi," she said "What? Do I have bed hair?" she said putting her hand to her messed up hair,

"You look beautiful," they nestled together and fell back asleep.

Merton woke up to see Lisa sat at his desk, a blanket rapped around herself. She was flicking through the photo album.

"Hay," he said. Lisa got up with the photo album in her hands. She got under the covers and they flipped through it, talking about old memories.
