Thanks to everyone who has replied :D Your reviews mean a lot and I hope you like the new chappies! :D There are quite a few mistakes on the previous chapters, hopefully things are looking better on this one! Please R&R if you like, or hate, whatever! I'm sure Jas's n' Tom *will*get back together, but not straight away ( ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

Now that I have nothing better to do than wallow, I might as well recap, Back at school were I left off, six of the ace gang were mangled in a heap in the French supply cupboard.

Me - "Georgia, I just want you to know that. , .,.,.,.you're my best friend and I'd.,.,.,. I'd never dob you in to Slim or Hawkeye or anyone. I wont tell them what I know about Elvis's crap posters being made over. I'd go as far as to say - Baz looked better with glittery golden stilettos and a coconut bra."

There was a pause; I think I hear Gee sniffing back the tears. Or maybe it was just Mabs blowing her nose.

Gee said - "Thanks Jas. I'm quite over come."

There was another pause, this time I really do think she was trying to hold back the bubblers.

"Especially when it was ALL of the ace gang. I'm glad you wouldn't let me go down on my own. Because there would be some serious draggage down with." I could feel the whole cupboard stiffen. " Don't think your efforts went unappreciated, Jas. We saw Jim's new fishnets. Nice job"

Me - "Thanks, my new koal eye pencil, got it from boots in a two for one last chrissy"

As it turns out, we didn't get done!!!!!!! Wohoojaaaa!!! This maybe the first time that the ace gang haven't got completely bullocked for something they've done. Or something someone else has done and the blams been on us!

And how? I hear you ask, the great thing about Elvis's hut is that it over looks the tennis courts and playing field. Playing field where the first years dwell! Thank Spotty Norman's acne for first years - always looking suspicious (but that's often mistaken for fear) and loitering and easily passed off. We swore we'd been heading that way and seen a group of them hanging round his hut. Result!! Well, actually I don't think Miss Simpson had been too convinced, but on the upside, they couldn't prove anything.

After school Gee came back to mine. We munched penguin bars and slurped on some iron brew whilst listing to my tape of last Sunday's "Top 40"

Me - "Vhat arb coo goinng to vew 'bout Vave fa larf?" I said through some penguin.

Gee sat thinking for a while, occasionally taking a bit of her pengiune

"Vell Pas," she munched and swallowed, "I may need some of your best pally assistance there."

Oh no. If this was going to involve stalking (again) she could count me out.

"If this is going to involve stalking -yet again, you can count me out"

She pouted a bit and attempted to soften me up with some cocktails. Iron avec 'Guiny (Iron brew with some mashed up bits of penguin bar) after drinking my special new cocktail I said -

"I'm listening"

"Well.. You know how much I like Dave.and we really want to go out, do ace gangy things - without getting pelted ."

"So you want Ellen to be okay with it"

"Yes,"

"Be okay with the fact you snogged her ex. When they were still going out"

"Er.yess"

"Be okay with the fact you lied to her face about *not* snogging him"

"You make it sound all nasty kickers" I gave her my best " I am wise, and you've done something wrong, oh less maturey one" look

"What's wrong with your face? You look liked you've been paralysed, can you move your neck?"

*Humpff*

And this Was Georgia's wonderful plan..hmmm:

"We need to find Ellen a new boyfriend, or at least someone to take her mind off Dave"

Neither of us agreed that Ellen would still be completely okay with what was happening, but this seemed like a good idea, and we'd be almost there.

"What makes you think I want any part of your sordid plan?"

"Come on Jas," Gee had rolled her eyes "That's a little harsh, I only want to make Ellen happy. And not hate and wish to kill me. Is that so much to ask?"

"You knew what you were doing, at the fish party!" I hissed

"That was ,I not I my fault! You I know I about my redbottom!"

I made a "Hurumpff!" sound.

"And besides," She added, popping some cheesy nibbles into her mouth "I know you feel just as guilty as I do."

She had me there. I was Ellen's friend, I should have told her, but I couldn't. Grr!!

"Fine!" I huffed "I'm in"
