Charlie and Guy were both in the room the three boys share when Adam got back. They had been in committed relationships and Banks wondered if they had ever questioned their feelings for Connie and Linda. But then they also had girls their own age.

"What's the matter Banksie, you look like you're about to explode?" Charlie leaned over the edge of his bunk as Adam threw himself onto his bed against the adjacent wall.

"Nothing." He answered into his pillow

"Banks you can talk to us, we're friends, that's what we're here for." Guy looked up from his English Lit. book.

There wasn't anybody on the team he trusted more then Charlie and Guy, but he knew they'd lecture him, he told them however.

"Larissa's mad at me because I gave her a hard time about our lack of a sex life."

Guy looked as though his eyes would fall out of his head and Charlie gasped

"You did what? Damn it Banks why in the hell would you do that?"

"Yeah, that doesn't sound like you Banks." Guy continued to stare at him wide eyed

"I don't know guys, I wish I did. I was in Ronni's room and she was all over me, I told her no because I had a girlfriend. Then I went over to Rissa's room and I was totally hormone crazed thinking about Veronica. I don't know what to do. I don't wanna lose Larissa but we're not the same people we were a month ago, I dunno how to get myself out of this one." The worst thing was he didn't know if he even wanted too

Guy smiled and gave his friend some advice
"You know what makes Connie forgive me when I piss her off? I apologize."

"Shut up Germaine." Adam tossed a pillow at him as all three boys broke into fits of laughter.

The next morning he waited for Larissa like usual, this time however when she stepped down the stairs and saw him she frowned instead of smiled.

"Larissa hold on." The handsome senior called after her as she tried to walk by him.

"What Adam?" She whirled around her dark red hair whipping her face

"Didn't think I was coming did you?"

"Hoped is more like it. So what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be busy getting you lovin else where?"

"That's not fair!"

"It wasn't fair when you told me you were going to either." Tears were welling in her dark gray eyes but there was no way she'd let them fall.

"You're right." Banks reached out for her arm and she jerked it away "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me last night."

"I do, your little head was giving your big head ideas and the big one should think twice about it."

"Okay I deserved that."

"Yes you did." Her voice was slightly softer but her face was still set in stone.

"It must have been S.B.U or something."

Larissa glared at him for using sperm back up as an excuse.

"That was wrong too, Rissa, I don't know what's going on with us but I know I love you. And I'm sorry. I can wait no matter how long it takes, I want your first time to be special, even if that means it's not with me."

"It'll be with you Adam, just not right now." Her arms slid around his waist her head falling just shy of his shoulder.

"Are we okay now?" He looked down at her and gave a relieved grin

"Yes, we're okay." Rissa said into his sweater

"Good."

"Can we go out tonight, do something romantic?"

"I'm tutoring Ronni tonight." He wasn't sure why he told her that, he must have known it would hurt her.

"I figured as much." Larissa replied sadly and walked away slowly while he watched her go.

Adam felt awful all day, yet he was at Ronni's room at 5 on the dot just as he had the night before. And just as she had the night before Veronica was on him like flies on honey. This time however, Banks was less reluctant when she kissed him at the door. He couldn't understand it, when he was with Veronica all he thought about was Larissa but with Rissa all he was thinking about Ronni. Could he be falling in love with her and out of love with Rissa? Or could he really be loving to girls at the same time?
