CHAPTER 3. I think there's a disclaimer in part one. Thanx for reading guys.

" So tell me about Amy." Jarod said
Parker got comfortable on the couch while she ate her pizza.
"There's nothing to tell. I met her when I came here."
" She seems nice." Jarod said.
Parker smiled. " She is nice. She likes to cause a bit of trouble sometimes, but she will be the first to volunteer to clean up." she laughed.
" So what about Lucas." he said.
" What about him?" Parker asked as she took a sip from her drink.
" Tell me about him. How did you meet. Who is he? What does he do? What is he like?" he asked
" Aren't we curious." she laughed.
" Come on Parker. We're catching up." he said
" Fine. I met him at the school orientation. Daddy knows his father, so he introduced us."
" So he knows that you guys are….."
" Going out? Yes. He knows. Daddy has sweepers all over the school. Daddy knows everything." she rolled her eyes. Jarod laughed at her expression.
" So since we're catching up. Why don't we talk about you. When did you leave the Centre?" she asked
Actually I haven't left. Your father is just torturing me with the outside world just so he can lock me back up. he thought. He would have told her the truth but Mr. Parker had kindly (threatening with a gun) asked him not to tell Ms. Parker anything.
" About two years ago." He lied.
" Your parents finally came for you. I told you not to give up." she smiled
" Yeah. I never give up." he said
" Wait a second . You're in boarding school. What did you do? Come on spill."
" I didn't do anything." he said
" Liar. Come on tell me. Come on." she shook him.
" Nothing. I didn't do anything I promise." he smiled.
" Fine don't tell me. I thought we were friends." she pretended to be hurt.
" We are friends. My parents had to go on a excavation in the Indies. They wanted me to play the normal child thing so they sent me to school. He said.
" Oh. Wait I thought your father was a pilot?"
" He is. My mother got into anthropology so this is her dig. He thought she might need some company." he said.
"I wonder how is Sydney doing now that he has no sims to do?" she laughed
" He's fine. I talked to him about 2 days ago. Everything is fine in the Center." he said
" I talked to him about a month ago. When I called my dad." she said.
" Really?" he said.
" Yeah. So what classes do you have." she asked.
" Well…." He tried to remember his schedule. " I have psychology, photography."
" I have photography. What period is your class? She asked excitedly
" Second." he said.
" So is mine. What next?"
" Chemistry." he said.
" So do I." she smiled.
" Umm… okay. " he thought for a second. " Then I have Language and Composition, Greek, American History, then Trigonometry." he said.
" I have Trig. The last period too." she said.
" These classes seem easy." he said.
" They are easy. That's the fun part." Parker laughed.
" Don't you want to be challenged." he said.
" Well excuse me Mr. Brain. But I like my classes. Their easy and I breeze through them. There's no reason to stress myself out." she said.
" Sydney said that children were put in classes depending on how far they are in understanding a subject." he said
" I know but I wanted to be like everyone else. I asked Daddy to make sure that I wasn't given any special treatment." she said.
" I haven't been out here long. But I'm pretty sure we're far from normal."
" I know that but,…. I mean the children of the Centre from the start have different classes and different teachers and blah blah blah. I just wanted to feel like everyone else. I'm sill just a teen growing up. You know what I mean." she said
" Yeah, I know what you mean. You want to live a normal life." he smiled.
"Exactly. I know you want that too. Don't pretend you don't."
" You know me so well." he said.
" Yes I do. I missed you." she moved closer to him and put her head on his chest.
" I missed you too." He caressed her hair. Her hair smelled like a mixture of honey and berries.
" I wonder what's on television." she said
Her breast pressed against his chest as she moved to get the remote. Jarod was suddenly very aware of the body atop his. He looked ahead to see her legs. Growing longer and longer. he thought.
Lucas suddenly came into the pool house as Parker settled back in Jarod's arms to watch a sitcom.
" Lucas?" Parker said getting up. He almost lost it watching her in his arms.
" Wallace was looking for you." he said.
She looked at her watch." Oh crap. It's almost 9:30pm Daddy is going to be calling in ten minutes. Oh he's going to be pissed if I'm not there." she hurriedly put on her sandals. " I was supposed to leave ten minutes ago.
" I'm glad you're here." Parker hugged him. " Now I have to go." she rushed toward the door. Giving Lucas a kiss on the cheek then ran out.

*************************************************************************************
Wallace shook his head as she headed out toward him.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry." she got into the car.
He started the car and sped toward her building. They'd both learned not to keep Mr. Parker waiting.
She stared at her watch until they got to the building. She got out of the car then raced toward her room. The phone started to ring before she had a chance to open the door. She ran to the phone, picking it up.
" Hello. Daddy." she said out of breath.
" Angel, you seem out of breath." he said
" I was.. Uh.. Taking a swim daddy. I just got back." she lied
" I heard it was cold up there Angel. Don't get sick"
" Yes, Daddy." she responded.
" Did you see Jarod today. His father said that he was coming to the school." he said.
" Yes Daddy. I saw him. I have 3 classes with him." she said.
" Now you be nice to him, show him around."
" Yes, Daddy." she said respectfully.
" Good girl. Now I'll call you again tomorrow. I have a meeting." he said.
" Sure Daddy."
" Good night Angel." he said with warmth.
" Good night Daddy." she said then hung up.
Parker got up to close her door. Wallace stood there with a grin on his face.
" You got lucky kid." he said
Parker sighed. " The man calls every week to talk for like 5 mins. And he always has me on edge. " she said with a frustrated sigh.
" Goodnight Wallace."
" Goodnight Ms. Parker." he said then closed the door.
In the ten minutes between the pool house and her building her father had managed to tire her out enough that she was ready to just lay on her bed.

*************************************************************************************
Jarod got up put the remaining pizza in the fridge.
Lucas came up behind him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
" What do you mean?" Jarod said as he closed the fridge door.
