"Hey girl!" David said, approaching Daisy in the cafeteria at dinner. It was a lovely April evening.
"Hey, how are you doing? I didn't see you this afternoon!" she said. He leaned over the table and gave her a kiss.
"Yeah, that's because I was doing homework," he said in mock pride.
"Yeah right," she replied in mock disbelief.
"All mocking aside, I really did do my homework. It's now Friday evening, and I don't have homework for the weekend."
"Why do I find that hard to believe?"
"Because Mr. Ruxton here never does his work," Shelby said, sitting down next to Daisy. Scott sat down on the other side, next to David.
"Yeah, normally, but I did it today," David was starting to get annoyed at no one believing him.
"It's true, I was talking to Auggie, and he said he saw him doing it," Scott said, coming to his aid.
"I believe you," Daisy said, cutely.
"Yeah, ri-" but he stopped, mid-word. His eyes became big and his mouth dropped open. Daisy was--how shall I put it-- being rather clear about her... love for... David! Let's just say her foot was going places it hadn't before. Luckily, Scott and Shelby we're talking in hushed voices, completely entranced with each other. "Daisy, may I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," she said innocently.
"Outside?" he said, trying to hide an enormous smile.
"Uh, yeah, I'm done anyway," she said, getting up and dumping the remains of her half-cooked food in the trash. She then followed him outside. "Yes?" she asked, smiling cutely.
"What was that?" he asked, his eyes as big as melons. They both exploded into laughter. "I... can't... believe... you... did... THAT!" he got out in between fits of laughter.
"What? Am I not allowed to have... fun?" she asked.
"Yeah, I just didn't expect that from our resident Goth girl," he said, shrugging.
"Well, I'm full of surprises. I also heard somewhere that love makes you do crazy things."
"Yeah, I heard that too. I dunno, I think I need more proof," he said, hinting.
"Oh yeah, you do, do you?" she said, walking towards him.
"Yeah, I think I do." She smiled as she got closer and closer, and so did he. Finally, they met and their lips were inches, no, centimeters, away from their faces. Shelby saw them as she approached to tell them that it was group, but figured she could pretend she didn't find them so easily. As she continued on her way, they began to kiss. It wasn't just a sweet little kiss. It was a release of all the emotions they'd been holding back all those times when they would've gotten caught. It was a release of all the love the held back from showing to the others. It felt so good. Their hands began to travel. David's coming up to her rear end, hers coming up to his. As it got more intense, the hands traveled more and more.
Finally, Shelby got back to where they were. She'd basically gone all over campus and back. The sight she beheld threw her off guard for a few seconds. David had Daisy pushed up against a wall and they were making out more fervently than anyone Shelby knew of... except her and Scott. They'd had some pretty hot moments. She knew that she couldn't leave them like that as someone else could stumble upon them and rain shuns on their parade. She made a rather large noise, pretending to have stumbled on them for the first time.
"Oh, sorry guys, but it's time for our favourite time of the day: group," she added sarcastically. They all made their way to the lodge, Shelby leading the two others. She went to sit down on the couch, keeping a seat for David and Daisy. Daisy sat down beside her. "We have got to talk," Shelby mumbled to her as Peter and Sophie came in the room.
"Alright, after lights-out, meet me in between the dorms," Daisy mumbled back.
"Fine by me, but then most of the dorm'll know what happened. They'll want to know why I'm leaving, and I have a feeling that either Scott or David'll say something."
"Scott?" Daisy didn't see how he fit into the picture.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to tell him the whole truth. Ha, he'll probably think I'm sneaking out to see that guy from the Ridge-Runners whose been practically stalking me!" Here she let out a heart laugh.
"He still thinks he's stalking you?"
"Yeah, it's so funny!" Shelby continued, laughing.
"Whatever, I don't care if they all know. They would eventually. David's not one for secrecy."
"Hey, I heard that!" David said, turning around indignantly.
"Yes, yes, good for you!" Daisy replied softly giving him a little pat on the knee. This is where group began.
**************************************************************************************
"Hey, hun, I'm done here, but I've got to go talk to Dais," Shelby said, pulling her hair into a ponytail, while Scott stood beside her in the bathroom, brushing his teeth. As he spit out the last of the toothpaste, he wiped his face off and stood up to look at her.
"How come?"
"Well, she and David had a pretty intense make-out session right before group and I want all the particulars."
"Her and David? No way!" he asked, shocked.
"Yeah, I know, that's what I was like too. I totally want to know all the... uh... dealings," she added, laughing.
"Wow, I didn't believe Daisy capable of such... dealings," he said now laughing as well.
"So, I'll see you later. Don't wait up for me," she added, kissing him sweetly and leaving the dorm, gathering several looks due to her attire, which she quickly covered up with a coat and a final: "Most of you have girlfriends, so lay off!"
As she exited the dorm, she waited a while to fully adapt to the fresh night air. Finally, she met up with Daisy on a patch of grass between the two dorms.
"Hey there, stranger," she said, walking up to her.
"Hey," Daisy answered back. They both sat down, cross-legged, looking at each other.
"So, what WAS that I caught you two in the act of this evening?" she asked, getting into the whole "girl talk" mode. Daisy sighed, laughed, and began her story. She told her everything beginning at her footsie game in the caf, to her major make-out session outside the caf. Pattern?
Shelby was a very good listener. She "ooh"ed and "aah"ed all at the right times. Daisy found this very humorous. Shelby, of course, wanted to know all the details, but as this is a PG-13 rating, I can't describe them [LOL, if anyone wants to know... I don't know why, but if you are curious, just ask for it in a review. If I get more than 10 requests, I'll add it in another fanfic.]

~ Meanwhile, back in the guys dorm... ~
"Yo, David, what's this Shel tells me about making-out with our very own Goth girl?" Scott yells across the dorm. David looks up and notices everyone looking at him. He puts his head down into his pillow and sticks his middle finger up to Scott, yelling: "Fuck you, man!" into his pillow,
The entire room burst out laughing. "Come on meat, what happened?" Auggie yelled out.
David moaned, turning over on his side. "Leave me alone. I didn't know guys could want to gossip so much!"
"Nah, but we still like to know what happens when one of our buddies hits the JACKPOT!" Alex joined in.
"You guys won't ever shut up until I tell, will you?" David was really just looking for a reason to start talking. He really was warming up to them, he just hated to show it.
The entire group shook their heads fervently. David finally pulled himself up and started his story.
"Well, it all started at dinner. We were just talking about how I'd done my homework-she didn't believe me. Anyways, Scott and Shelby sat down beside us. When they were completely absorbed in themselves, Daisy started trying to get my attention back. She pushed her foot up to where my family jewels are and... um... played around a little there." Here he stopped due to the uproar coming from his bunkmates. He laughed along, realizing how funny that must sound. "Anyways, if it's ever happened to you, you'll know that you've got to do something about it as quickly as possible." Again, everyone laughed. "So, I took her outside, and with all that sexual energy, we started making out. Well, if anyone saw us, we'd be on shuns for quite a while, the way we were going at it, so we went behind the caf and continued there. Want more?" he asked, seeing their amazed expressions. Everyone quickly jumped out of their trance and yelled for more, so he continued. "Anyways, it started getting pretty... hot. Our hands were all over each other and... uh... other parts too." Everyone started hooting. "Anyways, I had her pushed up against the wall... you guys have got imaginations, think for yourselves! Anyways, Shelby eventually showed up, telling us to get to group, so we had to stop or the captain'd be after us." Everyone yelled out their "Oh no's", but shut up the minute Shelby walked in.
She hung her coat, and then climbed into bed with Scott, saying quietly: "I didn't know guys could gossip that much!"
Everyone exploded into laughter. She just sneaked up to Scott and lay her head on his chest. It was covered in a wife-beater, which was soon long gone.
After a while, everyone was asleep. That is, except for Shelby and Scott, who were of course up to no good, and Ezra, who lay there, wishing he'd been in David's place. For one of the few times in his life, he was jealous. Really, really jealous! And he couldn't help it one bit! That's what killed him the most.
"Hey girl!" David said, approaching Daisy in the cafeteria at dinner. It was a lovely April evening.
"Hey, how are you doing? I didn't see you this afternoon!" she said. He leaned over the table and gave her a kiss.
"Yeah, that's because I was doing homework," he said in mock pride.
