Sorry for all the months I hadn't updated......but here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The final bell rang for the last period of the day. Carly and Lorenzo sat in his car still in the parking lot of the school, not planning on attending class. Carly was silent which made Lorenzo uncomfortable. He leaned toward Carly and placed his hand on her right breast as he began to kiss her neck gently slowly knelling her breast. Carly went with it for a few seconds but pushed him away, "Not now"

"Why not, what else is there to do?" he said advancing toward her again. Carly this time opened the door and quickly got out slamming the door behind her. Lorenzo got out as well, "What the hell is going on.....is this about Sonny?"

"No, its about you Lorenzo, I can't deal with this anymore. I am not a piece of property to you like your car. I am a woman......and I was yours."

"Was?"

"That's right, I'm through.....these last few weeks have been the most embarrassing and degrading of my life. You talk to me like a fucking dog, you think my body is your personal blow up doll that you can fuck when ever you please and you constantly put me down around everyone we know. I'm afraid to even talk now."

"Get in the car Carly1"

"No. I'm leaving now Lorenzo." And with that Carly walked back to the car and opened the door grabbing her books, "Goodbye Lorenzo."

Elizabeth stood up at her table trying to perfect her umbrella pot in ceramics class. Jason sat at a few tables behind her watching her just like he had been since the first day of school. He then looked at his pitiful leaning pot. Jason took a deep breath, this was it, he was going to talk to Elizabeth, he stood up and walked toward her and stopped right behind her, "Hey, Elizabeth," he said softly. He was ignored. He repeated it a bit louder and had the same result. He finally said it loud enough for the whole class to stop what they were doing and look at them. Elizabeth slowly turned around a bit embarrassed, "What Jason?" "I need some help with my pot, can you help me?"

Elizabeth was about to say no until she saw her teacher looking at them. She gave him a fake smile and sarcastically said, "Yes, Jason, I will be thrilled to help you, nothing would make me happier." The two walked over to his table and starred at his pot. "What do you need help with?" Jason shrugged, "not quite sure, what do you think I need help with" Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "I don't have time for this." As Elizabeth began to walk away Jason grabbed her arm, "Please, I just want to talk to you Elizabeth, just want to talk." Elizabeth looked into Jason's eyes and realized how sincere he was being. He gently let go of her arm and she stayed put, "Fine, just come to the Art Club meeting after school to help with decorations." Jason smiled, "I'm there." Elizabeth couldn't help but smile too, "Ok" she said as she walked back to her table

Lucky and Courtney sat next to each other in Spanish class. The class had forgotten their assignments and just went crazy. Courtney pulled out her cell phone and began making an appointment for her nails when Zander grabbed her phone from her. "Hey, tell your boy toy next time he wants a fight, be a bit more of a man about it." Courtney narrowed her eyes and grabbed the phone back, "You still there?" she asked ignoring Zander. Zander gave Lucky a look a Lucky just shook his head, once Courtney was off Lucky got her attention, "Hey, watch out for AJ."

Courtney snorted, "I think you should be the one watching out." Lucky was not amused, "I am serious, my cousin Carly dated him and he almost ruined her." Courtney tilted her head, a bit curiously, "How so?"

"He spread rumors about her...."

"She really did have an abortion Lucky, face it..."

"No, she didn't....I guess you heard that from AJ right?"

Courtney nodded, "He wouldn't lie about something like that."

"Once you disappoint him, you'll see.....you'll be hearing the same rumors, about yourself this time though." Courtney laughed as she brushed off Lucky, although, Lucky' accusations got her thinking.

AJ sat in Chemistry with his lab partner Gia, "So Gia....I hear you and Lucky Spencer are going to the dance." Gia simply nodded, not wanting to get into it. AJ glanced at her as he continued, "I thought for sure you would go with Nikolas."

"I thought for sure you knew we are over by now."

"Gia, I don't get you, you want Zander....yet you go to the dance with Lucky....but we all know you still have the hots for Nikolas." Gia shook her head laughing, as AJ continued "So you don't deny you would want to go with Nikolas?" Gia looked to AJ, "Who I like and don't is none of your concern." Gia shook her head again, "But Zander deserves so much better."

"No, Emily is the one who deserves much better...."

"Emily is just a little girl playing with hearts as if they were toys....Zander needs someone who won't break his heart so easily."

"Who...you? Please, why don't you humor me in telling me why." Gia grabbed her paper ignoring the question, "The answer for number 4 is chlorine."

Nikolas and Alexis sat in Latin 2 as they read from the book, Nikolas nudged Alexis to get her attention, "How are things with Sonny, you seemed a bit distressed earlier." Alexis laughed, "As did you."

"Don't avoid the question Alexis"

"Don't avoid my statement." Nikolas sighed, "I can't keep going on like this with Emily, either she chooses me or Zander...no more playing in the middle." Alexis nodded, "I agree, she needs to choose, but I also think you need someone a bit more steady."

"Let me guess, someone like Gia?"

Alexis shook her head, "Actually, I was thinking Carly Benson." The two laughed, "Of course I mean Gia, you two were so in love and all of a sudden it changed." Nikolas nodded, "Gia wants excitement.....not steady romance." Alexis shook her head, "Just wait Nikolas...she'll be changing her tune soon."

"What about Sonny, Alexis?" Alexis sighed, "He's so hung up on Carly it is actually sickening."

Sonny sat in his English class listening to another boring discussion as she spotted Carly outside his class, crying. Sonny couldn't believe what he was seeing, what could have happened. He immediately raised his hand and was allowed to the bathroom. As he left the classroom he spotted Carly waiting for him down the hall, Sonny approached her, "What happened?" Carly held her own arms, "I broke up with Lorenzo."

"I am sorry, you must feel horrible." Carly shook his head, "No, its not that...I am scared, he might come after me or something....." Sonny rubbed her shoulders, "Don't worry, I am here for you.....he won't hurt you." Carly nodded as she began to calm down, "I'm going to take you up on your offer, to go to the dance with you." Sonny nodded, "OK"

"I'm not rebounding Sonny, I just don't want to go alone and have Lorenzo see me alone."

"I understand."
