"Yo Nick man, over here." Warrick waved over Nick.

"I'm telling you she was there when I called!" Ecklie told the rest.

Nick spotted Warrick and walked over to him. "hey guys, what's up?"

Warrick smiled, "Nothin' much."

"Get alot of Math done?" Asked Ecklie smiling.

"Ecklie just told us that the Geek Queen was at your house last night... " Conrad added

"What's that supposed to mean? She tutored me..." Nick glared at Ecklie.

"Ohh, that's all? Ahh, Ok. So anyway, we need girls tonight man, I'm sick of the groupies!" Ecklie yawned.

"Groupies?? Ecklie, the only thing that groups around you are the flies..." Nick chuckled.

Warrick laughed, "Good one man.."

"Shut up! Just cause you had to spend last night being bored out your skull doesn't mean you should take it out on us!" Ecklie sneered.

"I wasn't bored... I learned some valuable information.... and then I watched a movie.. so it wasn't that bad..." Nick sighed

"Movie?" they all said but in different manners.

"Was she there with you??" Conrad grinned.

"You spent time you didn't need to with IT?" Ecklie was amazed at this.

"Sara was there and she's not an IT as you put it. She a nice girl ok, and she not as geeky as everyone thinks. " Nick said.

"Ohh, dear God, You like her?" Ecklie was speechless.

Warrick glared at Ecklie, "Shut dude! She could kick your ass any day!"

"She's my tutor, nothing more..."Nick said, saving face. "I mean we might become friends or something... later... but regardless, she's nice."

Warrick smiled, "Hey Jan! Sara."

Jan saw Warrick and waved to him. She took Sara by the arm and dragged her over to talk to them.

"Hey Warrick, what's up?" Jan smiled at him.

Sara went unwillingly, she looked at the grin on Jan's face and gave in.

"Nuttin, just talking," Warrick matched Jan's grin.

Sara smiled at the two.

"Cool.." Jan nodded and looked over at Sara, smiling

Ecklie looked at the two girls and turned to Conrad.

"Where you going?" Warrick asked Jan.

"Nowhere.. why?" Jan asked.

Conrad looked over at Ecklie "Man, we really need some chicks... why don't you go after Jan again? or maybe you'd prefer Sara?? She's free...."

"Nah, I want Warrick's chick man, she'd be a harder task." Ecklie looked at the two.

Conrad chuckled. "Good luck man... you know if you do get her, you'll be my hero..."

"What about you?" Ecklie checked out Jan.

"Me? Jeez.. I dunno man... plenty hot chicks around, but half of them are easy..." Conrad grinned.

Warrick laughed at something Jan said, he still had a stupid grin on his face. Sara bit her lip and started to feel majorly uncomfortable.

"What about her royal geekiness? You think Nick has a thing for her?" Ecklie asked looking and Nick and Sara.

Jan looked at Sara. "You ok? You know you don't have to stick around if you don't want to.. I'll be over in a few..."

"Nick and Sara.. that'll be the day .... I hope not though, or else we've really underestimated him or his gone of his rocker" Conrad snorted.

Sara shook her head, "I'm fine and I'll wait. Just Ecklie checked you out though."

Ecklie started to laugh really loudly.

Warrick looked at Ecklie, "Will you shut up!" It wasn't a question, it was an order.

Jan gave a look of disgust that only Sara could see. Sara smiled at Jan's look.

"Mind your own business Warrick... we aren't talking about you..." Conrad looked at Warrick and back to Ecklie

"Wanna go a walk Jan?" He asked her looking at Ecklie.

"Sure" Jan smiled at Warrick and whispered. "Anything to get away from Ecklie.

Warrick grinned and put his arm around her and walked down the corridor.

Sara smiled and went towards her locker, no way was she standing with Ecklie and Conrad, even if Nick was there.

Ecklie laughed at Sara walking away, "Geek!" He saw Catherine Willows walk down the corridor, "Guys, look," He pointed to Catherine. Conrad gave a wolf-whistle.

Catherine looked down at Conrad, "In your dreams Conrad!" she said and stood beside Nick, "Nicky, a word."

Nick looked at her and nodded. He followed her

"Why do you hang about with those guys? Anyway that's not why I'm here... You didn't do anything with Sara.. did you? Cause she came in the house last night...well... happy."

"No Cath... nothing happened... she tutored me then we watched a movie... I was being nice..." Nick shrugged, "I hope she didn't take it the wrong way..."

Catherine looked down, "No, she didn't. But... never mind, you don't like her?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean like her, as in.. like her.... I don't know what other way to put it!." Catherine looked Nick in the eye.

"No.. not that way..." Nick sighed...

Catherine looked disappointed, "Ohh, Ok, that's a shame."

"Huh?" nick looked confused.

"Nothing, never mind, I have to find Gil. see ya Nick!" Catherine smiled and walked away walking past Ecklie and Conrad.

Ecklie grinned at her ass and then turned to Nick. "So what did she say man?"

"Nothing of your concern...." Nick sighed.

"What's up with you?" Ecklie frowned.

"Nothing man... c'mon... let's go join the others"

Ecklie followed Nick.

Sara was getting her stuff out her locker, she hated school sometimes, it had it's own rules. "Why do I have to be smart?" She sighed to herself.

Jan walked up behind her. "Because its you... and it's not a bad thing"

Sara forced a smile, "Whatever.... How was your walk with the man of the moment?"

"Haha... it was nice..." Jan smiled.

"hmmmm," Sara looked at her.

"So what's up with you and Nick?"

"Nothing, I just tutor him in Math... Hey we have it next," She grabbed her book.

"Yea... ok.. let's go..." Jan nodded her head in the direction of class.

Sara smiled, *Wonder if Nick has remembered anything I told him?*
