xX... OK, I'm continuing. Kill me, I know! THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWERS! CAUTION: Bad language! ...xX

"Oh my god, Summer, I can't believe you are here! What ARE you doing here?" A flabbergasted Katie asked, letting go of Summer.

"My Dad got a re-transfer. So, now I'm back. I think," Summer joked. She had loosened up... LOTS, "Zack, you look, wow, I mean. You've grown up so much," Summer approached Zack, who hadn't said anything for the longest time.

"Yeah? Thanks," Zack blushed, pulled his sweater closer and looked down. Trying to hide the embarrassment

"Zacky-Waky's a little embarrassed isn't he," Cooed Katie slightly tugging his ear.

"Hey, Summer, what's up?" Zack asked, trying to be cool about the whole thing.

"Loosen up; I used to be your girl friend. You do remember don't you?" Summer asked.

"Summer, it's SO great to see you, I mean, amazing. But, why aren't you going to public school or something?" Katie asked, questioning.

"Because, my old man wants to get rid of me," Summer smiled.

They laughed; silence draped over the three like dark storm clouds cover a whole mountain. Finally the silence was broken. Katie got up.

"I gotta go, I've got shit loads of homework," Katie said, dusting herself off.

"I think, I better, go with." Zack said, also getting up.

"OK! SEE YA AFTER WINTER BREAK WHEN I COME IN! KAY?" Summer called after them.

"She's changed," Zack said when they were out of ear-shot.

"Hell ya, it's for the good, I think," Katie added, as they headed up the lawn.

The sudden re-entrance of Summer and how much she had changed had shocked Katie and Zack out of the monotone life they had been trapped in.

Now Katie had competition. It was clear that Summer would kill for the new Zack. She'd just have to make the move, on her best friend for forever, first. That was that.

Marta Hale was lying in bed, pants off, shirt off. Lying next to her was her boyfriend Chad. She had put on her panties and bra, and they were both staring quietly at the ceiling.

"Oh look, I see a caterpillar!" Marta broke the silence. Not looking at Chad, who was sitting in bed completely naked.

"Where?" He asked.

"There, dumbo!" Marta laughed, pointing up at some cracks in the ceiling.

"Oh, yeah! I see that now!" He said, eyes brightening.

They laid in silence for some time.

"Fuck," Marta said.

"Again?" Chad joked.

"No, ass, I have to be home. Jesus Christ! Time flies!" She jumped up and pulled on her jeans and t-shirt. As she was heading at the door, she stopped, and went back to Chad who had sat up, "Love ya!" She said, pecking him on the cheek. He smiled and she ran out the door.

"Lawrence, would you like to answer the problems on the board?" Mr. Thomas asked Lawrence. Lawrence's hand had shot up into the air as soon as Mr. Thomas had looked for volunteers. Gordon smiled and slid down in his seat. Lawrence bounded up to the board and did some skateboard trick on the way up, all the girls laughed. He got the requested reaction.

"Lawrence, what were you thinking?" Mr. Thomas spat as he reviewed Lawrence's answers. Everyone burst into laughter.

THE BOARD:

1. 124532 Divided by 34 times 345 square root of 6= go suck my dick Mr. Thomas

2. Why did the Ewells hate Atticus? = I'm hard for ya Joe Thomas. Bite me!

3. Put the periods in this sentence: = I. Want. You. To. Lick. Me.

4. SAT PREPERATION: Thomas, leave me god damn alone, fuck hole!

Lawrence looked at the board. He caught his breath. Gordon drew aimlessly on his desk. "Mr. Thomas, I didn't write those!"

"What? You have Gordon over here do it for you?" Mr. Thomas half joked, half gave Lawrence the evil eye, "I don't know what came into you, but go to the principal right now! AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL MY CLASS IS OVER!" Mr. Thomas was read. If looks could kill, Gordon would've been laying lifeless on the floor. Lawrence stormed out of the room, "Gordon, can you tell me the answers?"

"Certainly Mr. T"

"Tomika! Hurry up!" Alicia called, annoyed. They were trying on clothes at Wal-Mart.

"Hold on, I, for one, wanna look good for my date!" Tomika yelled from the dressing room.

"You've tried on, like, fifteen outfits. C'mon, we still gotta get ready!" At that moment Tomika burst out.

"READY! LET'S GO!"

"It's about time," Tomika waved her finger.

They went to the check out, paid and got into Alicia's car. They drove quickly back to Alicia's house and spent the next three hours getting ready.

"THEY'RE HERE!!! AHH!" Alicia called running back to her room. She heard her mom open the door.

"Hello, Leonard, Marc, so nice to see you. Yes, come on in, you can wait in the living room. They'll be out right away." She hummed sweetly.

"Ready?" Tomika asked, swallowing hard.

"This is it, we got the dreamiest guys ever. DON'T BLOW IT!" She joked. They both took a deep breath and stepped into the living room...

"Zack?" Katie asked, as they did their homework. Zack was hunched over a book. Making notes as he read.

"Hmm?" Zack responded.

"I'm really tired. And I still got three pages for Malsdorf, and six for Wilkes."

"So am I, I'm pooped."

"Zack?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you love me?"

There was a long uneasy silence.

"As friends?" Zack asked, his voice quivering.

"No, as in, do you love me as a girl friend?"

"Lemme get back to you on that one? Kay?" Zack said.

"Fine," she sighed. NOT the desired reaction or end product. Then again, "what was I thinking?" she thought, "what did I expect, him to confess his love and for us to fall into each others arms? Geez, get a friggin life Kate," she told herself.

It got later and later and the sun only fell. Soon there was a full moon and it shone brightly. First Katie fell asleep, right on the table. Then Zack, he fell, his head resting on hers.

xX... OK, that's it for now! ENJOY IT! ...xX
