::::::It's been such a long time, and I've been so busy with school, well, let's get started:::::

"Everyday!" Ellie said loudly.

"Shhhh, not so loud," Ashley whispered.

They were standing by Ellie's locker in the hall before school.

"Wait," Ellie's voice got low. "So, your mom thinks you're here at school doing some work for Mr. Simpson, when you're really going to Mark's loft so you can screw him."

"El-it's amazing. God, it's better than amazing." Ashley eyes lit up, as she inhaled.

"Well, as long as you're safe." Ellie gave Ashley a worried look.

"El, it feels so good to be wanted or whatever, for someone to want you mentally and physically like Mark. It has given me so much to look forward too. I don't feel so alone and used all the time." Ashley was ecstatic.

"Well, what about you and Trev? Isn't it okay?" Ashley could not help from smirking a little bit when she said that.

If you have never had sex with Mark, Ashley thought, of course Trevor would be good.

"It's decent, but after Tim." Ellie stopped. She realized that she had dropped the wrong name.

"El-what do you mean by that?" Ashley narrowed her eyes. Ellie and Ashley started to walk slowly down the hall.

"I know, it was wrong, but after I broke up with Trevor, I felt free, like a weight had been lifted off shoulders. So, I was looking for something fresh and knew." Ellie looked down at the floor.

"Bitch! You know that guy torments me. I can't believe you." Ashley started to stomp off.

"Ash, I wouldn't be talking, I know about you and Trevor." Ashley stopped dead in her tracks.

How she could know, Ashley thought. I never thought he would tell. This is terrible.

"It was weird the way I found out," Ellie said as she walked toward Ashley. Ashley still had not worked up the nerve to turn around. A few seconds later, Ellie was standing behind Ashley.

"We were, you know, doing our thing on the couch", Ellie's voice was low. "Then, as I started to kiss his neck, he said something about the party a couple weeks ago. I thought to myself, why would he be talking about the party, I wasn't there, but I ignored that thought. Of course, I hit that spot on his neck and he said your name." Ellie paused for a moment.

"He moaned your name Ash, how messed up was that? I was angry, but then again, I definitely hadn't been celibate since we broke up, so I didn't get too angry. I was so mad at you too Ash, but I don't know, I guess part of me forgave you, and part of me didn't." Ellie paused again.

Ashley finally turned around and looked at Ellie. "Ellie, I'm sorry, we were just hanging out, and we were all over each other. Then that time at the store, and then in his room. He lied the last time, he said you were with Cameron, I would never have done it if-," Ashley was cut off.

"Ashley, it's okay, I don't care, Trevor wants you now, not me, I've moved on. It's history." Ellie gave a weak smile.

"El, there has to be a reason you're taking this so well." Ashley narrowed her eyes.

"I'm with Tim, because he's so good at, you know." Ellie cast her eyes down.

"How could you! Tim is the one guy that I hate, he's taunted me, he's chased me down streets, and then you have the nerve to get with him because you like the way screws you?" Ashley was yelling, everyone in the hall was staring at them.

Ellie started walking, and Ashley followed her.

"Why, Ellie, why?" Ashley called after her.

Suddenly, Ellie whipped around.

"If you must know, he's really into it. Like when we do it, he's all rough and stuff, it's great. Of course, we don't have to do it everyday, like some people." Ellie scoffed.

"El that really hurts me. Who cares if he's good at having sex, he's an ass." Ashley finally walked away to first period. It was going to be a very long day.

"Mark," Ashley said, as she turned over to face him. They were lying under his covers getting ready for their usually afternoon activity.

"I'm not in the mood, Ellie's become a bitch." Ashley sighed, as she rolled on to her stomach. Mark stroked her back gently.

"What's up with her, Trevor told me they broke up again. He didn't tell me why." Mark was fishing for answers.

"Well, you may not want to hear this, but it was because of that fling I had with Trevor." Mark stopped stroking her back.

"And?," Mark asked.

"And they were getting ready to do their thing, when Trev called out my name instead of Ellie's." Ashley didn't even bother to look over at Mark. She knew he was upset. She heard him get out of the bed, and start putting on some clothes. She finally turned over.

"Mark, where are you going?" Ashley asked.

"To kill Trevor, he needs to get over you." Mark said angrily.

Ashley jumped out of the bed, and ran over to Mark.

"No! I don't care about him, stop Mark. It's not as if I'm planning to leave you for him, and you don't need to ruin your friendship over me. It's no big deal." Ashley put her arms around the shirtless Mark.

Mark stopped getting dressed, and pulled Ashley close to him.

"Ash, it just makes me so angry sometimes. Knowing that Trevor knows your body the way I do. God, that bastard! How could he?" Mark sat back down on the bed.

"Mark, leave him alone." Ashley sat next to him.

"I guess," Mark sighed.

Ashley crawled back under the covers.

"I'm waiting," she said with a huge smile before she burst into giggles.
