Summary: Bobby and Lindsay are chemistry partners, Andrea is jealous Bobby is hanging out with Lindsay. Bobby asks Lindsay to be his homecoming date, and thats where I left you guys off!

"Lindsay phone." He came running through knowing he interrupted something.
"Who is it?" She asked annoyed.
"Chris."
"Fine, tell him I'll be there in five minutes." She groaned.
"Okay." Lindsay turned back to Bobby and smiled.
"I would love to be your homecoming date." Bobby's smile kept growing.
"Really?" Asking in disbelief.
"Yeah, I hate to ruin this moment but the phone."
"Oh yeah, I got to go anyways." He was estatic.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." She started walking with Bobby to her door. She gave him a quick kiss and he left.
"Bye."
"Bye Bobby, see you tomorrow." She walked back upstairs to her room and picked up the phone. "Hello." She talked nervously into the phone.
"Hey Lindsay."
"What's up?" She knew something was wrong.
"Nothing, I was just wondering what time you wanted me to pick you up for homecoming." Lindsay froze. She knew he didn't ask her to be his date.
"What? You never asked me."
"Well, I didn't have to, your my girlfriend."
"Chris, I've told you we're through."
"Come on baby."
"Chris, no.I'm done with you and I'm going with somebody else." Now Chris froze.
"What do you mean someone else?"
"Exactly what I said, I'm going with someone else."
"Who?"
"Nobody that I care to tell you about. I have to go Chris bye." Before he could say anything she hung up. There was a knock on Lindsay's door.
"Come in."
"Dear, who was that?" Lindsay's mother very curious.
"Umm... Chris."
"He finally asked you to homecoming!" Ms. Dole was delighted.
"Yeah, but I'm not going with Chris."
"Well, who then?"
"I'm going with Bobby."
"Excuse me?" She thought she was hearing wrong.
"I'm going with Bobby. He asked me, I like him and I want to be his date."
Meanwhile, on the other end of Cambridge in Boston Bobby walked through the front hall of his house. "Dad, I'm home!" He called out.
"Hey son. How did your homework come along?" The older Mr. Donnell asked walking towards his son.
"Uh... It went good Dad."
"Good."
"Is it okay if Lindsay comes over tomorrow afterschool and stays for dinner so we can work on our work."
"Of course, don't see not. I'd like to meet her too."
"Great, I'll call her and finalize our plans." He started walking towards the phone.
"That reminds me, Andrea called." Bobby stopped and turned towards his father.
"She did?"
"Yeah, wants to know what time for homecoming and whether you were driving or doubling with Beckie."
"Okay, I'm not doing either." He stated quietly.
"Excuse me?" Now Stephen was shocked.
"I'm going but I am taking Lindsay not Andrea."
"Wow"
"Yeah, I really like Lindsay and I decided that I don't wanna be with Andrea, she's changed dad."
"You should still call her."
"I'm going right now." He picked up the phone and phoned Andrea. They talked about 20 minutes. Well Andrea yelled and Bobby stayed quiet before finally hainging up. "There, thats done." He thought to himself. He went up to his room finished his homework and called Lindsay. They had planned for homework right afterschool, followed by dinner at Bobby's and whatever they had left for whatever. After they hung up Bobby watched TV and went to bed.
Next morning Lindsay couldn't drive to school because Bobby was driving her to his house afterschool, so her mother dropped her off. When she got into school it was dragging. Yet again she forgot her lunch but this time she managed to grab a Diet Coke on her way to school after begging her mom to stop. She didn't she Bobby when she got in and the first time she finally saw him was 3rd period he walked by her locker while she was getting her books and he stopped and tapped her on the shoulder causing her to drop everything in her hands. She turned around quickly to see who it was. "What the hel--- Bobby! You scared me!" He was bending down to pick up her books up for her. "Sorry Linds. I didn't mean too." He was trying to keep back a chuckle.
"Its okay thanks." He handed her books to her. "Well, I have Algebra now. You?" She started walking with him. "Uh... History, right next to Algrbra."
"Cool, I'll meet you at your locker after Algebra okay?" Lindsay said as she stopped in front of the Algebra room.
"Okay, see you later." He went into History. 45 minutes later Lindsay walked to Bobby's locker where he wasn't there yet but Andrea was.
"What are you doing at my boyfriend's locker?" She moved towards Lindsay. Lindsay started backing up and she ended up backing into Bobby. She looked up.
"I'm sorry." And she walked away quickly to chorus. Bobby looked back at where Lindsay had just ran around the corner, then looked back at Andrea.
"What did you say or do to her?" He demanded more then asked while walking towards his locker.
"What makes you think I said something to her?"
"Do you think I am stupid? You just found out I chose her over you to take to homecoming and that I went over her house instead of going with you to our so called "anniversery" so I ask again what did you say to her?" Bobby was speaking loudly but others couldn't hear over the passing students.
"I just told her to stay away from my boyfriend."
"Excuse me!"
"What?" She asked knowing why she was being questioned.
"I'm not your boyfriend first off and secondly she doesn't have to stay away from me because hopefully one day I'll be her boyfriend!" He stated proudly and confident before walking to his next class. Andrea was near tears, and she too walked off. Chorus went by slow for Lindsay. She, like Andrea was near tears all through class. She liked Bobby so much, but she was scared of Andrea even though she wouldn't admit that to anyone else but herself. She wanted to be with Bobby, but she was too scared. Finally the bell rang and Lindsay who had tears in her eyes decided against meeting Bobby at his locker like she had said and went straight down to the cafeteria with her Diet Coke. She sat at a table where there was nobody else. Finally she spotted Bobby and his friends walk in but didn't attempt to make any kind of moves. Bobby was searching for her and finally just sat down. Andrea spotted Bobby instantly and walked over to sit next to him. It took a few minutes of sitting at the table before he found her sitting by herself staring at the unopened Diet Coke bottle. He got up, grabbed his lunch and walked over to her. Andrea was busy talking but caught out of the corner of her eye him walking to Lindsay.
Lindsay heard someone approaching her but didn't bother to look up. Bobby saw her tear stained face and heard her sniffle.
"Mind if I sit?" He asked acting normal. She shook her head. "Hey Linds, whats getting to you?" Lindsay was touched to hear the worried sound in his voice, but she didn't answer. He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Tell me Linds, is it Andrea? Because you can't let her get to you." She looked up at him for the first time. She had stopped crying.
"I didn't even do anything to her, I was just walking and---"
"Its okay, she's a bitch Lindsay, everybody knows it and nobody likes her, but since she has no other friends besides Beckie, and that's why she is always around us. Plus she still thinks in her mind somewhere that's I'm her boyfriend."
"Aren't you?" Lindsay knew he wasn't but she wanted to hear him say it to her.
"No, I broke up with her, she started messing with some other guy and I left and told her I didn't want to be with her." Lindsay looked into Bobby's eyes trying to understand how or why anyone would want to hurt this man sitting next to her. Wanting to change the subject Bobby broke the ice. "You don't have a lunch again?"
"No."
"So you liked my lunch so much you want me to give you some and you make an excuse to get it." He teased her. She just smiled a little.
"No, I really ran out the door without it this time and I had to yell at my Mom the whole way into Boston just to get a Diet Coke." He smiled.
"You run out forgetting a lot of things don't you?" He loved teasing her and to be honest she loved it too.
"Ha,ha,ha." She stuck her tongue out at him. He returned the gesture.
"So I guess I can share my lunch with you again." He tried to act angry but it wasn't working well.
"Thank you." She took his green peppers immediately.
"Oh shoot I forgot my drink." Lindsay opened hers took a sip and passed it to him. He tried to drink the soda out of the bottle without getting his mouth on it but missed and got it all over his white shirt. Lindsay burst out laughing, and Bobby, even though was upset with what happened smiled because he made her laugh. "Its not that funny." He said smiling.
"Yeah it is, Bobby you can put your mouth on it." She grabbed the Diet Coke bottle and helped guide him to bring it to his mouth. Then she tipped it so he could drink it. She burst out laughing and dropped the Diet Coke bottle all over Bobby's lap. Bobby didn't get mad though, he just laughed but he had to go into the bathroom before he could go back to class after lunch to wash down his pants. They quickly finished Bobby's lunch and the bell rang. Lindsay promised Bobby she'd bring his book to Chemistry after stopping at his locker and hers while he was in the bathroom. Bobby was late into Chemistry and the teacher stopped writing notes on the board and looked up.
"Mr. Donnell, so glad you could join our class today." The whole class was snickering and laughing at not only the part of the teacher giving Bobby a hard time but because his pants and shirt were soaked.
"I'm sorry it won't happen again." He quietly walked to where Lindsay was sitting she too had a sneakish grin on her face.
"Sorry Bobby." She handed him his books and her notes. He wasn't mad because he gave her that grin back to her. When Chemistry was over Lindsay promised to meet Bobby at his locker at the end of the day and then they would go to her locker and leave for his house. Lindsay had French, gym and study before the end of the day. French went by really slow but gym flew by. Lindsay finished getting her shirt back on when Lucy & Helen walked up to her with their books in their hands. Lindsay doesn't even notice them until Helen speaks.
"So why you been ignoring us for the past two days?" You could hear the hurt and anger in her voice.
"What are you talking about? You guys are my best friends." She knew though that she hadn't been spending that much time with them.
"Whatever, we don't want to argue, so we came to ask if you wanted to go to the mall afterschool. We'll pick you up at your house at 4:30. Be ready." Lucy kind of stated but demanded too. Lindsay finished getting dressed and was locking her locker.
"Sorry, I can't." And she walked out of the locker room. Luckily Helen & Lucy had study hall with Lindsay next period, that wasn't so fortunate for Lindsay. Lindsay walked into the cafe and Helen & Lucy were already sitting. Bobby, too was in this study hall sitting by himself because he was one of the only seniors in this study. Lindsay immediately saw him and walked over to him. Helen & Lucy's jaws dropped as she just walked by them.
"Hey Bobby." She was smiling and perky.
"Hey Linds. I'm so glad your in my study hall."
"Me too. I have Algebra homework." She sat down and opened her backpack and grabbed her Algebra book and notebook. Bobby started working on his History. Then something made him look up. When he did look up he saw two girl's staring at Lindsay.
"Umm... Lindsay what's the idea?" Helen was starting to get really mad. Lindsay suddenly looked up kind of nervous.
"What do you mean?" She asked innocently.
"What are you talking about, don't give us that shit. You won't go to the mall with us, you have totally been ignoring us for the past few days, then you pass by us without so much as a glance our way. Then we come to find you sitting over here with a really hot senior!" Helen screamed out in one breath.
"Sorry, but Bobby and I are chemistry partners and really good friends. He's taking me to homecoming." Helen & Lucy stared in disbelief.
"What! I wanna go to homecoming!"
"Sorry, but if you wanna sit with Bobby and I your more than welcome too."
"Really? You don't mind?"
"No."
"Okay, let me get my stuff." Helen started walking away.
"Me too." Lucy quickly followed. Lindsay turned and smiled at Bobby who was working but also smiling. Helen & Lucy soon made their way back to where Lindsay & Bobby were sitting.
"Bobby, this is my friend Helen, and this is Lucy, my other friend." Lindsay pointed to each of them.
"Hi Helen. Hi Lucy." Bobby said looking at them both.
"Hi." Helen chirped.
"Hi." Lucy chimed, a little bit perturbed. She was still mad at Lindsay and was surprised that Helen wasn't.
"So tell me Lindsay, how did you and Bobby REALLY meet?" Helen wanted the facts now.
"I told you Helen, he is my lab partner, and we sit with each other at lunch because I don't know anyone. We have become really good friends."
"Okay, if you say so." Lindsay rolled her eyes at Helen and started back at her work. The rest of the period was quiet. When the bell rang Lindsay said bye to Helen, Lucy and told Bobby she would meet him at his locker after visiting her locker and stopping upstairs in her English class to get her essay paper. She gathered all her books and bag. She walked upstairs and got her paper. As she was walking down the stairs, most of the students were already out of the building. She heard someone walking down the stairs, and turned around to see who it was. The person smiled and reached for her, she gasped and pushed the person away but not before feeling something sharp force into her and being pushed down 5 or 6 stairs. She gasped for breath and heard the person walking past her and out the main foyer door.
