AN: I didn't know how their school was set up, or how they got there, so this is my interpretation. Oh, and if everyone could tell me where they want it to go. You can e-mail me or IM me. I'm almost always on!
A Late Night Talk Part III

"Hi Beth," JJ said as he sat down. "Hi JJ," Beth replied. "How was your weekend?" "It was alright, yours?"

"Good" They fell into silence, for they had nothing else left to say. Meg glanced up from her chat and noticed Beth and JJ. "Look Beth. I want to..." JJ started. "Let's not et into the again, alright JJ" Beth said as the bus pulled into the school parking lot. "Beth, can't we just talk?" "No JJ, we can't because it always ends the same. We argue, we cry, so let's not do it again, ok?" Beth stood up, her eyes filling with tears. Meg came up behind JJ. "Jeez JJ. I"m sorry. I should have sat with Beth." "No, don't worry about it. I'll see ya later, alright?" JJ said as they stepped off the bus. "Yeah, sure. See ya later." Meg said, walking over to the girls school.

Later on...

JJ went through the entire day thinking about the whole situation with Beth. He kept going back to the talk with Meg. *I'm going to try to see other people.* He had said that to Meg. JJ decided taht he was going to do just that. Try to see other people. He started to daydrean about other girls he knew while in the middle of his Modern History class. *How about that cheerleader, Stasie? No, no cheerleaders. They were way too... what's the word, perky? How about...* "Mr. Pryor," Father Johnson said, snapping him out of his daydreams. "Yes, Father?" "What do you think?"

"About what, sir?" JJ asked, the whole class snickering at him. "About the question. 'Do you think the U.S.did the right thing before, during and after the attack on Pearl Harbor?" "Umm," JJ started. "I belive that the U.S. did that right thing during and after the attack. Before, however, we could have done better." "How do you mean?" "Well, sir," JJ straightened up in his chair. "We oculd have been better prepared. We knew that Japanese were sore at us and they could have attacked anytime. We should have watched them more carefully." "Good point, Mr. Pryor. There are some people..." Father Johnson started. He continued to discuss WWII with the class. "Nice save," Justin whispered from behind him. JJ nodded and quickly fell back into his thoughts. *How about that girl Tommy introduced me to last weekend? She was pretty cute and goes to a public school, so I wouldn't have to see her here. That jus might...* The bell rang and the class started filing out. JJ finished his classes and went out to the bus. He found a seat in the back. That way, he wouldn't have to sit with Beth. The bus ride was longer, it seemed, than usual. "How was your day, JJ?" Meg asked when they arrived at their stop. "Alright. I figured out waht I'm going to do. How was yours?" "My day was pretty good. What are you going to do?" "I'll tell ya later. Right now, I have to go see Tommy." "Alright, I think I'm going to go see Luke. Maybe we can work something out." "Sounds good. I'll see ya later. Tell Mom I'll be home in a bit, okay?" "Yeah, sure. Bye!" "Bye Meg." JJ said as he started down the road towards Tommy's house. It wasn't that long of a walk, so he arrived there pretty quickly. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door. "Hello, oh, hey JJ. What brings you here?" Tommy asked opening the door. "Hey, Tommy. Do you remember that girl you introduced me to? On Saturday?"
