Amanda woke up the next morning to Jessica shaking her. Groaning Amanda opened her eyes to a pounding headache. Jessica leaned down to Amanda's eye level.

"Let's go,"said Jessica quickly,"Get up," Strecthing slightly she felt a heavy weight on her. Slowly looking over she seen Harry's arm drapped over her.

"What time is it?"asked Amanda in a hoarse voice.

"Eight,"said Jessica,"C'mon before anyone else wakes up."

"Where's Karen?"asked Amanda carefully picking up Harry's arm and moving off of her. She waited a moment to see if would wake up, but he didn't even stir. Slowly Amanda got up as the headache set in.

"Ow,"said Amanda holding her head.

"Don't worry we found a bottle of water in the frdge and we've got tylenol in my purse. Karen's in the bathroom,"said Jessica as she sat next to Amanda and got her arm around her shoulder. The two girls stood up and quietly walked to the front door where Karen was putting on her shoes. She grabbed Amanda's spare shoe and they quietly opened the door and walked outside into the cold frosty morning.

"We called a cab,"said Jessica as they girls made their way throught the complex.

"Why are we leaving?"asked Amanda.

"Cause that Kevin guy is an ex-teacher as Winslow, I don't think he recongized me,"said Karen,"And we don't want Mr.Senate in trouble." Amanda shrugged.

Once they were in the parking lot Amanda leaned against a car as Jessica dug out a tyenol for all of them. Quietly each girl took two white pills from Jessica and passed around a bottle of water.

"So what happened last night Aje?"asked Jessica.

"Nothing,"said Amanda softly.

"C'mon tell us,"said Jessica.

"Nothing, we just made out at the club that's all,"said Amanda.

"You two looked a little cozy this morning,"said Karen.

"I don't believe it, you made out with a teacher,"said Jessica.

"Shut up,"mumbled Amanda,"I've got a heacache." The two girls just snickered and fell silent. Ten minutes later the taxi pulled up and they piled in the back. On the trip home each girl was involved in her own thoughts.

"So I guess you're getting an A huh?"asked Jessica. Amanda just looked at her and broke out laughing along with the two others.

"So was he good?"asked Karen.

"Yeah,"smiled Amanda.

"AJ loves Harry, Harry loves AJ,"sang Jessica teasingly.

"Hey did you guys even leave a note saying we were leaving?"asked Amanda.

"Yeah I wrote one on the bathroom mirror in lipstick,"said Karen smiling,"Great Beer, Great Night, Great Goodbye, then three lil kiss marks." The girls started laughing at it for no reason other than it was such a girl thing to do.

Amanda walked into her house at nine, she could hear her father in the kitchen. Groaning lightly she tried to close the door as quietly as possible and make her way up the stairs but half way up she was stopped by the call of Scott.

"Where have you been?"demanded Scott.

"Out, it was New Years,"said Amanda.

"It's also nine in the morning,"said Scott in his principal voice,"Have you been drinking?" Amanda walked down the stairs til she stood on the bottom one in front of Scott.

"Daddy yeah we did drink a little last night so we went to Jessica's for the night,"said Amanda,"I hope you weren't upset, but I was all right."

"I don't approve of you drinking,"said Scott,"You are underage."

"I know and I've got this killer hangover to punish me for it,"said Amanda,"Can we talk about this later, I really just wanna get to sleep."

"Fine, but we are talking about this no doubts,"said Scott.

"None, how about you and me, dinner, you make that pasta stuff that so good and we'll talk about it then,"said Amanda leaning on the railing. She could Scott's facial expressions soften as he seen his daughter actually wanting to spend time with him.

"Okay,"said Scott nodding.

"Thank you Daddy,"said Amanda leaning down and kissing his cheek then making her way up to her room. Once in her room she yanked open the window half way and threw on a large white cotton shirt, she ran across the hall to the bathroom and filled a large glass up with water and took a couple of tylenols then drifted back to her bed and crawled in for some sleep.

After laying there for ten minutes with her eyes closed she rolled over and picked up the phone and quickly dialed in Marty's pager number.

"Hey you've reached Marty, hey Aje, I've allready talked to Karrie, I told you I'd be getting my ten bucks." Amanda scowled at the phone as the message cut out with Marty snickering.

"You're such a cumrag Marty you really fucking are,"said Amanda then hung up the phone.

Harry sat up slowly, the alcohol's down side was setting in. He looked over and seen Kevin slowly walking out in a pair of sweats. He looked in the same shape as Harry was and Kyle moaned from the ground.

"I'm going to die,"said Kevin sitting on the love seat,"Where are the girls?"

"Dunno,"shrugged Harry.

"Well I'll make the drug run,"said Kevin slowly getting up and shuffling to the bathroom. Harry looked over at the bathroom as Kevin burst out laughing.

"Harry, Kyle come here,"said Kevin. Harry pulled himself off the couch and made his way to the bathroom. He walked in and looked at the mirror Kevin was staring at, written in bright red lipstick was 'Great beer, great night, good bye, love,' and three bright red kisses. Harry smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Here ya are man,"said Kevin pushing over a bottle of ibruphen to him. Harry picked up the bottle and took out three. He swallowed them with a handful of water.

"So how did you know her?"asked Kevin.

"Who?"asked Harry looking at himself int he mirror.

"That girl, AJ,"said Kevin,"Where the hell did you find a babe like that?"

"She kinda found me,"said Harry,"She just couldn't seem to graduate on time."

"What?"asked Kevin staring at Harry. He thought for a few moments then it clued in.

"Harry, she's not a student is she?"asked Kevin. Harry said nothing as he looked in the mirror.

"Harry, Buttle lost his job over this, hell I lost my job over it"said Kevin,"She's jail bait."

"She's eighteen,"sighed Harry.

"Then she's still a student,"said Kevin scoldingly.

"You think I don't tell myself every time I see her that AJ Guber is a student, and nothing more,"said Harry frustratively.

"Wait? Guber? As in Scott Guber?"asked Kevin quickly.

"As in his daughter,"said Harry looking away from Kevin and the mirror.

"Harry man, you are walking a thin line with your career,"said Kevin, "That girl has the devil himself for a father."

"I know, I know,"sighed Harry,"It's just, I dunno she's got a hold on me. Fuck now I sound like a sixteen year old."

"Harry, it shouldn't matter if this girl has you by the balls, she is dangerous news and you past the line last night,"said Kevin,"I seen you, you were practically fucking her at that club."

"You're right,"said Harry softly.

"You know I'm right,"said Kevin,"This girl is bad news, anyways what ever happened to that other chick? Roxie or something?"

"Ronnie,"said Harry,"Things didn't work."

"Well things will never work with you and Guber's daughter,"said Kevin,"How did Guber even have a daughter?"

"In college, she refused to marry him, had AJ, and in September dumped the girl on his doorstep over some mother daughter fight,"said Harry summing things up.

"Never woulda thought,"said Kevin splashing water over his face,"So I'm taking it no one is finding it hell having two Guber's walking the halls of Winslow?"

"Nope, not besides Ronnie,"said Harry smirking at the thought at how whenever those two butted heads Amanda always seemed to take the top spot.

"Why?"asked Kevin.

"I dunno some female domination thing I think. Ronnie's upset over the fact AJ has Scott wrapped around her finger, a pout and a 'Oh Daddy' and he drops to his knees for her,"said Harry as he walked out of the bathroom.

"Seems like Scott isn't the only one wrapped around this girl's finger,"said Kevin following him into the kitchen.

"Sure,"said Harry nodding sarcastically at Kevin.

"Well buddy all I'm going to tell you is, the younger she is the farther I stay away. The younger they are the more dangerous they are,"said Kevin.

"Oh really,"said Harry snickering slightly as Kyle walked into the kitchen silently and slumpped down into the kitchen table chair,"That girl Jessica, graduated in June. Same age as AJ." Kevin looked over at Harry like he was lying then over at Kyle who had his head wrapped in his arms.

"I don't even want to know how old that other girl was,"said Kevin slowly.

"She's in my class with AJ,"said Harry leaning against kitchen table.

"That's it,"said Kyle sitting up and leaning back loosely in the chair,"We've become dirty old men."

"Well I'm a dirty old man, who got legally laid last night,"said Kevin shrugging as he dug into the fridge,"Harry's teaching yours and his."

Amanda woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. As it stopped Amanda rolled on to her back and looked at the ceiling. Moaning she took the glass of water next to her bed on the nightstand and took a sip out of it wetting her mouth. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Scott poked his head in.

"Jessica is on the phone,"said Scott. Amanda nodded as she grabbed the phone next to her bed.

"Hey Dad, what time is it?"asked Amanda.

"Five forty,"said Scott,"Dinner will be in an hour."

"Cool, I'll be down then,"said Amanda. Scott nodded as Amanda picked up the phone, she waited for him to close the door before she spoke.

"Hey Jessi,"said Amanda flopping back down onto the bed.

"Hey how ya feeling?"asked Jessica.

"I'm living,"said Amanda.

"How's the ankle?"asked Jessica.

"Okay I guess,"said Amanda rolling it around under the covers.

"Okay weird ass, I left that Kevin my pager number and I get this message today with him weirding out about my age and stuff,"said Jessica.

"Harry,"moaned Amanda.

"Oh well I don't care it's not like I'm going to see the guy again,"said Jessica,"So did Dad go postal when you came home?"

"Actually no, he tried but I nipped it in the butt,"said Amanda.

"Okay well on to big things, you and Harry,"said Jessica,"Oh my god, remember in grade eight when we thought teachers were pitiful losers. And who woulda thought you'd be getting all down and dirty with one, doing the naughty with a teacher."

"Shut up, nutten like that went on,"said Amanda.

"You better be getting an A in his class,"said Jessica laughing.

"Will you shut up?"asked Amanda.

"Okay, okay so what really went on?"asked Jessica.

"Nothing, we made out, he fingered me, we kissed at midnight then I didn't see him til the cab,"said Amanda.

"Mandy and Harry, Mandy and Harry,"sung Jessica.

"Okay number one, it's AJ you know that, number two I have no idea what's going on,"said Amanda.

"Yeah yeah yeah,"said Jessica.

"Look I gotta go shower, I'll talk to you later,"said Amanda.

"Kay, just don't go screwing any teachers,"said Jessica.

"Screw off,"said Amanda smiling as she hung up the phone. Amanda rolled out of bed and made her way into the bathroom for a shower.
