A.N. Okay, this is my first slash fic. So... I can take flames and criticism. But reviews are nice.

This story is when the gang's (I mean all three CSI shows) set in high school. There will be hint of other couples. Such as Warrick/Catherine, Grissom/Sarah, and Eric/Tim. But the main couple is Nick/Greg.

Greg didn't know exactly why he had agreed to take this course. But Eric and Tim were his friends and had convinced him. Though he didn't think that parenting was the best course. Well, it wasn't just a parenting course; it was a course on how to handle life basically.

The teacher was just about to give the newest assignment to the grade 11 class, as Greg looked around. He sat in the very back corner. They were seated in a four by three seating arrangement. Each column had six people in it. Each row had eight people in it.

In front of him sat Catherine Willows. A pretty senior who was also once a cheerleader back in grade 9. (Though Greg had been in grade 8 then.) That was until a guy named Eddie had gotten her pregnant. That was why she was taking this course... again. She was also in his science classes, because the juniors and seniors for some odd reason shared science classes.

Beside her was a girl he didn't know. In front of her was another girl he didn't know. Beside her was another girl he didn't know. In the desk across from them was Gil Grissom. Grissom frightened Greg. He was a senior, like Catherine, that kept to himself. He only took this course to 'observe human nature', or so he had said. Greg didn't doubt it though. Grissom was also in his science classes and his law class.

Beside him was a guy he didn't know, he also didn't know the girl behind Grissom. But the guy beside that guy was Warrick Brown. Warrick played football, but he wasn't a jock. He was more of a science nerd, like Greg. Greg didn't mind Warrick, but didn't exactly go out of his way to talk to him. Again, Warrick was in all of his science classes and gym class.

Behind Warrick was some guy he didn't know. In the desks across from the guy were a guy and girl that he didn't know. In front of them were a guy he didn't know and... Nick Stokes. Who was also looking around. He caught Greg's eyes. Greg quickly looked away. In front of them were two more girls he didn't know.

In the last row, in the desk across from Grissom was Sara Sidle. Greg had liked Sara back in grade 10, though had finally given up on her. Sara was an overachiever; she always pushed herself to hard and ended up getting sick from lack of sleep at least once a week. Like Catherine, Sara was also in all his science classes. She was also in his Calculus class.

Beside her was another girl. Behind them were two guys. Behind them were a girl and guy. All of whom he didn't really know.

Beside Greg was Tim Speedle, he'd known Tim since grade 4. When Tim had moved next door to him from New York. Tim was in all his science classes and was always his lab partner. He was also in his gym class and Calculus class, and Probability class. Since he'd known Tim for a long time, he knew Tim was gay, though that didn't bother him at all.

In the desk across from Tim was Eric Delko. He'd known Eric since grade 6. Eric and his family had escaped from Cuba and lived in Florida till grade 5, and then his family moved to Los Angelos. Eric too, was in all his science classes, gym class and his law class. Even though Eric was a jock and Greg hated, no, despised jocks, he got along with Eric. In fact, Eric and Tim were his best friends.

The reason he'd tried to avoid Nick's gaze, was because he didn't really get along with Nick. Nick was jock, enough said. Nick was also in all of his classes except Calculus. There was also something about Nick that confused Greg. Made him nervous. And he didn't know what.

"Well, class, I've decided to do a marriage assignment. You will be paired up and for the rest of the year, will live with that person. You will have an apartment provided by the school. You will then hand in the assignments I give you at the end. And no, you can't pick your own partner." She said as a girl raised her hand. "Your partners are as followed." Greg didn't really listen to the people that he didn't know.

He did hear that Catherine was paired up with Warrick. That's good, he thought, thinking about how Eddie had left her, she deserved someone nice like Warrick. After a few more names he heard that Sara was paired up with Grissom. Greg couldn't help but wonder how that would turn out. He hoped that Grissom would tell her not to work so hard.

That's when Greg realized something. There were 10 girls in the class. And 14 guys, the math didn't add up. This meant... his thoughts trailed off as his teacher said: "Since we have an uneven number of guys and girls, we will have to have two gay couples. This does happen sometimes. Don't worry. The couples are as followed however: Eric Delko and Tim Speedle. And Gregory Sanders and Nicholas Stokes."

Greg sat there, shocked. He had always believed in God, the supernatural, but with this news he was convinced... there was no God.
