This chapter's funny... It's the first somewhat S/J chapter. You'll see what I mean. Don't own LK...

Sarah frowned, turning to Haley.

"Haley? Where's your outhouse?" Sarah asked quietly.

Haley looked up from her computer, grinning. She gestured to a door on the tiled section by her sink.

"Sarah, we happen to have indoor plumbing now. There's a toilet in there, and you sit on it, and, well, go to the bathroom. You can shower or bathe if you need to, and there's towels in there. Could you tell James about it? He's in the room across from mine. My brother has a bathroom too," Haley explained.

Sarah nodded, opening Haley's bathroom door. She emerged a few moments later, then washed her hands. She dried them, bit her lip, and looked nervously through the doorway at Haley's brother's room. Haley looked up at her, and a slight smile fell across her face. She looked back down at the keys, going back to her typing.

"Sarah, it's okay. You CAN go in the room and it won't be considered improper," Haley grinned.

Sarah looked at her, as if the thought of going into a boy's room would kill her. She shook her head.

"Well, Haley, I am from a far different time than you. It just wouldn't be proper. And, besides, he could be changing or naked or something!" Sarah exclaimed, extremely nervous.

Haley giggled.

"Sarah, it isn't indecent unless I find you two making out on the bed. And, hey, I have no problem with that. I mean, if it makes you happy..." Haley shrugged.

Sarah frowned, glaring at her. She frankly did not want to know what "making out" was. She had a feeling the definition would be disturbing. So Sarah shook the thoughts from her head, holding herself high, and she crossed the hallway, barging into Haley's brother's unused room.

James was sitting on the bed. He looked up at her and Sarah blushed. He grinned.

"Sarah, why are you here?" James asked curiously.

Sarah looked down at the ground and told him. James nodded, and he set out to explore the bathroom. Sarah sighed, shaking her head before returning to Haley's room. Haley looked up knowingly at her as Sarah shut the door behind her. Sarah saw the look and scowled.

"Oh, come on, Sarah, you like him. I can see it in your eyes. I'm perceptive that way. Anyways, do you want to get his affections or not?" Haley remarked wisely.

Sarah's eyes widened.

"What did you just say?"

Haley rolled her eyes, getting up, and turning up the music on her radio so James wouldn't be able to hear their talk.

"Sarah, you like James. Pure and simple. Clear as day," Haley muttered.

Sarah shook her head furiously, blushing as red as a cherry.

"No! I don't! You're lying! Honestly!" Sarah shrieked.

Haley sighed, returning to her computer.

"Whatever you say, Sarah," Haley mumbled.

Sarah scowled, walking into the small alcove that contained a dresser, desk, and bookcase. She grabbed a book off the bookcase, Fever 1793, and began to read on Haley's floor, silently fuming.
