A/N: Ok, ok, I know I've been the Big Bad for not updating for way too long, but I went overseas for awhile, picked up my new muse, who is actually working out quite well. Unfortunately, he was working on *other * things for a while. ( So, finally, I'm going to update!
CHAPTER 6
Lila massaged Liz's back delicately, trying to calm her down. As mch as she wanted to continue comforting her girlfirend, she realised the impliucations if they got caught.

"Shhhhhh.it's ok, baby," Lila whispered gently, her voice drowning in Liz's quiet whimpers and the soft drip of a leaky tap.

"Why is he doing this? God, just ebcause we were kissing? I." Her voice caught, causing Liz to gulp loudly. She pulled away from lila, moving quickly to the towel rack.

Lila breathed out, watching liz grab a paper towel and attempt to wipe her eyes. Out of everyone, she couldn't believe this relationship the most. How the hell did she, Lila Fowler, end up with Elizabeth Wakefield?

"Ms Dalton was fired," Liz continued in a quiet voice.

Lila immediately stood up, rigid with shock. Ms Dalton had been fired? But Why...?

"You mean to tell me that..she was fired..because..?" The thought was incomprehensible. She couldn't believe that!

"He's serious, Lila! He can suspend us, expel us, do whatever he wants!" Liz leaned back against the wall, immediately sliding down it until she was sitting on the grimy lino of the girls' bathroom.

Lila turned away, closing her eyes briefly. She knew what suspension would mean to Liz.

"There's got to be something we can do," She vented loudly, angry that she couldn't protect her love.

"Well, we could check the internet and see what's available, legally speaking, I mena. Maybe find out if it's happened anywhere else or something, " liz shrugged, sniffling away her last tears.

Lila cocked her ehad for a minute, before grinnign and grabbing Liz's hand.

"You're brilliant Elizabeth! We'll check the internet! Come one, we both have a free period next!"

Liz laughed at her girlfriend as she let Lila drag her away.
Winston stopped momentarily, fidgeting with his backpack. The straps were too tight and he couldn't walk properly. After a minute or two, he finally felt comfortable enough to keepw alking, enjoying the sun's warmth for once.

"Life is getting too complicated," he thought to himself unhappily.

First there was the whole shock of Lila and Liz. Then the fact that Enid actually liked him, not to forget the part where he screwed it up. But the hardest part was Todd and Jessica.

"Doesn't Jessica know this will kill Liz?" he whispered to himself. How could they have done something so stupid?

Then again, Winston remembered, he had wanted to do the same thing with Enid.

"So, maybe it's better me and Enid didn't."

Having a baby? Winston shook his head. Hell, it's better if they never sleep together at all. Better yet, maybe they shouldn't even kiss! Why risk it at all?

"Hey! Wisnton, hey! Wait up!"

He stiffened as the sound of his name echoed. Oh god, he couldn't deal with this. Not now. Not.

"Dude, where you been? I've been searching for you all day!" Todd cried out, finally catching up to his friend.

"Not bad, Todd. Just.busy. You know." Winston shuddered. He didn't want to do this, not know.

"Man, I'm so tired. I probably shouldn't have slipped in that quickie at lunch," Todd casually remarked, still attempting to catch his breath, not noticing the green look on Winston's face.

"Really?" Winston's voice seemed tiny and squeaky, a little like Mickey Mouse. "Which girl was it today?"

Todd beamed at him, slapping him on the back.

"Believe me, nobody you'd know!" He laughed and started chattering away about basketball again.

Winston shook his head.

'He doesn't know. God help me when he finds out'.
Jessica parked the car in the driveway, trying to calm down the nausea in her stomach. She breathed in deeply, still unsure of what to do with herself.

"Man, I can't believe I was so stupid," she told herself.

Drearily, she dragged herself out of the car, locked it and made her way inside the house.

"Jessica!" Her mother called out in surprise. Jessica weakly smiled, waggling her fingers at her mother.

"Hey," she muttered, dumping the bag on the bench.

"What are you doing home? Was practice cancelled?" Alice asked, worried about her younger daughter.

Jessica shook her head, anxious tog et away to the sanctuary of her room.

"No, I just.didn't feel well." She bit her lip.

Alice stared at her daughter for a little while. Jessica was fidgeting immensely, looking at her pleadingly, before finally looking down and walking quickly out of the room.

Alice shook her head. Between the twins, she had enough problems already.
Bruce Patman took the glass in his hand, slowly sipping it as his latest conquest came to mind. She also happened to be the one girl he'd been trying to get the most.

His eyes narrowed, Bruce suddenly recalled the one time he'd gotten close. So very very close.

He sipped the glass once more. He'd have her. He knew he would. After all, what Bruce Patman wants, he gets.
Elizabeth entered her room, carefully putting the books on the table, glad to be out of sight of her parents. She loved them; she really did, but their behaviour lately was starting to get her.

With a sigh, she headed over to her wardrobe to change clothes, when sounds resonated from the bathroom. Liz stopped, frowning when she heard Jessica's retching coming through the thin walls.

She carefully opened the door.

"Jess, are you ok?" She asked, watching her sister kneeling in front of the toilet.

Jesica nodded, flushing the toilet and standing up heavily.

"Yes. I've just been sick for awhile. I'm fine. She waved Liz away, walking to the sink.

Liz hesitated, before leaving the room. As she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it, wishing she and Jessica were still close. But ever since this whole Lila thing started, Jessica didn't seem to want to be around her.

'And I don't blame her,' Liz thought unhappily, before she finished her trip to the wardrobe.
