"Ugh, this test is total stupidity," Paige whines. Terri and Hazel laugh.

"We had tests all last year, are they going to do the same things this year?" Hazel comments. "I'm going to fail," She adds. Paige makes a face at her thoughts.

"Well then, lets make the best of it! Haze Ter, my house after school, study party. Lame, yes, but isn't school?" Paige says groaning. Terri stays quiet. "Okay Terri, your mouth has been shut this whole time, that never happens," Paige laughs.

"I can't go to the study party, Paige," Terri admits.

"And why not?"

"Me and Spin kind of had something planned"

"Ever since you stole him from me, you stick to him like glue"

"He's my boyfriend"

"He's your shadow"

Terri walked into the classroom finding almost all seats taken. Accept for one between Spin and Ash. Terri smiled and took a seat. Spin looked at her and gave her a quick kiss. They both smiled at each other. Ashley looked at Terri.

"That's so cute," Ash chuckled. Mr. Simpson walked over to the two.

"Uhum," Mr. Simpson interrupted. The two stared. "You two think you can pay attention?" Mr. Simpson kindly asked. They both nodded as Mr. Simpson walked off. Ashley made a face as he walked away. Terri and Ashley laughed it off.

//// ---------------------::*::-------------------- \\\\

"How can you pay attention when your best friend, sitting right next to you, is playing tonsil hockey?" Ashley asked laughing. Terri let out a little laugh.

"We did not gag each other. It was a simple hello kiss," Terri said slapping her hands to her side. Ashley nodded.

"Tests are going to be a nightmare, were not even half way through the school year and their already giving us tests," Ashley complains. Terri nods in agreement. Spinner suddenly catches up with the two walking next to Terri.

"You still coming over tonight?" Spinner asked. Terri nods. Excited, they give each other another quick kiss as Spinner walks away. Terri bites her lip in anticipation. Ashley just stares.

"Wow you two look happy," Ashley brings up. Terri nods and turns to her.

"Yeah, we are. I am," Terri grins. Ashley hesitates to ask.

"You two haven't gotten serious yet, have you?" Ashley asks. Terri stares in shock.

"No way," She says letting Ashley know that was a stupid question.

"Sorry, you know I'm just concerned," Ashley comments. Terri nods.

"I know"

"Do you think you will?"

"Soon? No"

"You two are meeting.. Tonight"

"He meant after school"

"Are you sure? He might be wanting more"

"No, even if he was he's not getting it," Terri says walking off. Ashley gets one last word in.

"Like I said, not yet"

Terri walks out looking for Spinner instead gets Craig and Ashley.

"Terri call me, if you need anything, anything," Ashley says. Terri nods, Craig pulls on Ash's arm.

"Gorgeous Goth, our chariot awaits," Craig smiles.

"Labels suck Craig," Ashley says following him. Terri thinks about what Ashley said earlier. They have been steady for a while but have barely made out. But who knows? Pressure of the tests, Pressure of the relationship, and with Paige always on his case (Paige and Chris broke up) about him hooking up with her best friend when she liked him and vice versa, maybe he is looking for something to make him feel better, some grand excitement.

"Terri hello? You've standing her staring into space forever," Hazel interrupted. Terri stopped daydreaming.

"Oh um, sorry. Tests, freaking me out," Terri said setting excuses. Suddenly Spinner came up to her. Hazel and Paige made a face. Terri bit her lip. Spinner looked at the three who stared. He slowly lifted up his arm and smelled his under arm. Paige and Terri walked down the steps laughing, bumping him purposely.

"Loser," Hazel laughed.

"Good luck, Ter," Paige chuckled. Terri became a bit uncomfortable.

"Ready?" Spinner said acting as if what happened didn't.

"Ready?! Ready for what?" Terri asked paranoid? Spinner squished up his face.

"To go study, you know, what we planned?" Spinner reminded.

"Oh, oh yea," Terri said walking down the steps with Spinner. Spinner looked over at her.

"Everyone seems to be pairing off," Spinner said looking around.

"Yeah"

"Their not as lucky as me. No one is," Spinner said reaching over for Terri's hand. Terri quickly folded her arms.

"Is something wrong?"

"Have you ever, ya know, been serious with a girl?" Terri shyly asked. Spinner looked confused but smiled.

"No not really, why?"

"Would you ever try to get serious w-with me?"
