Authors Note: Here's the next chapter of Desire. Let me know what you think.

Hazel spied on Marco and Ellie in the shady area of the schoolyard. She had snuck away from the basketball game after Craig had left the court. Now she was waiting to see what Ellie and Marco were up too. They were acting normally, just like friends. She couldn't figure out why though. In public, they were all over each other. But in private, it was much different. They were talking about tattoos, which was a very unromantic topic. She heard Ellie talking about her latest rose tattoo on her back, which she wouldn't even show to poor Marco. It was all so strange. Something had to be going on here. Why weren't they kissing? Weren't people that were dating supposed to kiss? She heard that Ellie changed the subject, so she decided to listen in to the conversation.

"So Marco, how has everyone been to you? Did you tell them yet?"

"I haven't had the chance. And I don't want to tell any of the guys," Marco admitted.

"Well, I don't really blame you for not wanting to tell," Ellie said.

"Tell what?" Hazel asked herself. What were they talking about?

"Ellie, sometimes I wish I wasn't this way, but I mean, it was meant to be."

"Don't challenge it Marco, just act the way your heart tells you."

"I know, and what it's telling me is kind of weird. It's telling me to…" He suddenly stopped and said. "Hazel, come out. I can see you over there."

She stood up. "Well sorry."

Ellie jumped up in anger. "What were you doing there? Spying on us?"

She shook her head. "No, I was picking flowers, but I couldn't find any. Imagine that." She giggled nervously.

"Get out of here Hazel!" Ellie yelled.

"Look, I don't have to do what you tell me to do. I'm my own person."

Ellie sighed. "Fine, then we'll leave. Lets go Marco."

The two of them then left.

Hazel was about to follow, but she heard Ellie yell, "You better not follow us either!"

She sat down on the ground. What was Ellie and Marco talking about? It was all so confusing!

Terri walked up to Ashley and Paige sitting at the table. She had seen Marco leave the basketball game and Hazel trail behind him. She stole Hazel's place and said , "He's rather hot, isn't he?"

Ashley and Paige turned to Terri. "Who's hot?" they both asked in sync.

"Spinner without his shirt on," Terri said dreamily.

"You were looking at Spinner? I was looking at my Jimmy," Ashley said.

"I was looking at Sean," Paige said.

"You like Sean now?" Terri asked, shocked.

"Nope," Paige replied. "He's just cute. I was paying more attention to my crush."

"Who is this crush?" Ashley asked.

"Not telling you, but you'll find out soon enough. I'm going to ask him out soon." Paige then left the table.

Ashley and Terri both looked at each other and said, "Craig."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paige ran back into the school. She couldn't help it anymore. She had developed a huge crush on someone and it was tearing her apart. Why did she have to see him every day at lunch on the basketball court? It was driving her nuts. He was so good looking, and she hated having to lie to her friends, but she had heard when they were talking about her in math class. She wasn't dumb. Besides, they all wanted Terri to go out with Spinner, not her. But she couldn't help it, after Spinner dyed his hair, he had gotten so cute. But, she liked JT too. Sure he was younger, and a huge geek, but he still had that ironic sweetness to him. She was so confused. Who should she go out with? She knew that both of them would say yes, but she didn't want to ask Spinner out because Terri liked him, and she really didn't want to hurt her feelings.

"Why can't I just ask him out?" she asked herself.

"Ask who out?"

Paige turned around to see Jimmy standing in the doorway.

"No one," she said.

"Its got to be someone. Craig, right?"

Paige froze. She thought he was okay, but she would never go out with him. She was about to reply, but Jimmy interrupted her.

"Cool. You guys would be good together. I thought Spinner would be though…Anyways, see you later." Jimmy then ran back outside.

Paige stood there in shock. What was Jimmy planning? He had better not spread it around. She didn't want Craig, she wanted Spinner.

Suddenly the bell rang. Paige ran to her locker before everyone piled back into the school.
