Mo-52: Thanks for the review. Not exactly the way I'm going, I'm making Marco return the feelings, but I definitely see where you're coming from with that. I'm not too big on stories about Marco becoming bi or straight because that's not what he really is. But the idea had been running through my brain for a while like this so the way I made it was Marco and Paige both liking each other but not knowing how to deal with it. Thanks for the review!

Kate: Sorry I beat you to the story! Thanks for the review :)

-Sorry I haven't updated in a while everybody!! But I do have somewhat good news for any fans of Unpredictably Predictable…I'm writing a sequel! But I'm not going to post it on the site until I have more than one chapter written so it doesn't turn out like this has where I keep getting writers block.-

Thanks for the reviews everyone and keep them coming!

Lotsa love, degrassichick92

P.S. There are small hints of spoilers from episodes that I downloaded from Canada but nothing very, very serious.

Anyhow, here's the chapter!!

Chapter 2

- - - - -

Paige paced back and forth around her room, how could she have kissed Marco?

Marco! Of all people she kissed Marco! Of course it wasn't attended, it was just supposed to be a friendly peck on the cheek but it turned into a soft kiss on the lips. A soft kiss on the lips that Paige liked. It was crazy; it was like pulling a Manny Santos! Only instead of it being a guy and a girl…it was a guy and a guy. Luckily, she wasn't still with Matt, because then she'd be cheating on him, but this wasn't much better!

Paige pushed her hands through her blonde hair in frustration and flopped onto her bed, this was bad. This was really, really bad.

She didn't even want to think about how Marco felt, for all she knew, he could be chugging down some mouthwash this very second!

This is the stupidest thing you've ever done, Paige Michalchuck, her dear friend, Conscience, said repeatedly in her mind.

Just then she heard Dylan's voice from the hallway, "No…it's cool. Its fine…alright…yeah…you too…okay, bye," and then she heard a phone click.

"Who was that?" Paige asked, sitting up and walking over to her brother.

"Marco, he had to cancel the date tonight, something about Craig needing a sitter for Angie and he agreed without thinking," Dylan said.

Paige nodded; she knew that Marco had lied. She could just tell. Whenever Craig needed a sitter, he would ask Emma Nelson, she was Angie's usual sitter, or he'd be the babysitter, but Marco wasn't Angie's babysitter.

He was just avoiding Dylan, he probably felt like a backstabber, kissing his boyfriend's sister.

That or he just doesn't want to have to face you. You being the boyfriend stealer that you are. Conscience said.

Just shut up okay? Paige shot back.

"Oh…" Paige gulped, "Sorry to hear."

Dylan nodded, "Yeah…well do you want to go tonight with me or anything?"

Paige shook her head, as much as she loved Dylan, she couldn't hang out with him, it'd be really bad, "I can't…I have plans with Hazel," she lied.

"Oh…okay, well I think I'm going to head back to my dorm then, see if my roommates want to do anything. See you later." Dylan said with a wave and walked down the hallway.

"Okay, bye," Paige said as she heard his footsteps going down the stairs.

She ran a hand through her hair and walked down stairs and watched the door close.

"It can't happen," she said, sitting on the foot of the stairs and resting her head in her hands, "It can't happen," she repeated thinking it will magically make everything better, "It did happen," she concluded with a sigh.

"Marco, you can't beat yourself up over this." Ellie Nash said to her worrying best friend.

"Are you kidding Ellie? I kissed Paige Michalchuck; did it occur to you that I'm dating Dylan Michalchuck? There is a bit of a difference between them, for one, Paige is a girl and Dylan is a boy. I can't kiss Paige, I'm gay!" Marco said, walking around his room nervously, running a hand through his chin length black hair with blonde highlights.

Ellie didn't answer.

"Elle?" Marco asked.

"Maybe you're not…" she said.

Marco practically choked on air, "Sorry, what?"

"It could happen you know…you might just be bi." Ellie said, trying to sound confident and supportive.

"Ellie…no. I don't think I'm bisexual." Marco said, sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Then maybe you're…you know, straight…" Ellie said.

Marco couldn't deal with this; it was too much pressure for the Italian seventeen year old!

"Just try a test run tonight. Kiss Dylan at the movie theater and-"

"I can't." Marco said.

"Why not? I thought you guys had a date…" Ellie said.

"Had being the main word, I cancelled." Marco said with a small wince.

"Marco!" Ellie exclaimed, "Then just put it back on."

"I'm supposedly babysitting Angie."

"Craig's little sister? Just tell Dylan that Emma offered afterwards and Angie preferred Emma over you."

"Oh thanks Ellie. That makes me feel a lot better." Marco said sarcastically.

"I do what I can," Ellie said with a small laugh, "But anyways, just tell him there has been a change of plans or something and then say that you can make the date and boom, the plan is back in action."

Marco nodded even though Ellie couldn't see him and then stopped mid-nod, "Wait…what's the plan?"

Ellie giggled, "You wouldn't let me finish. Kiss Dylan at the theater and see if you feel sparks, if you do and you did with…wait, did you feel them with Paige last night?"

Marco gulped and pounded his head into his hands, "Yes," he muffled.

Ellie sighed, "Okay, then if you feel sparks with Dylan and you did with Paige…you might just be bisexual, but if you don't feel them with Dylan…you might just be…"

"Straight." Marco finished for her.

"Exactly. I mean, we technically went through this in the ninth grade Marco, only you were finding out if you were gay, now you'll just be finding out the opposite, whether or not you're straight."

"I don't know what to do Elle." Marco whined.

"Just trust me, kiss Dylan, if the sparks are there, you're more than likely still gay, but you might want to try with another guy-"

"No. Ellie, I can't kiss another guy, how about I try with another girl."

"I don't think it'll work anyway now that I think of it, you usually only feel sparks with people you are attracted to, so like I said, just kiss Dylan and see if you feel sparks. That's more thank likely the only way you'll know."

Marco sighed, "Okay. At least if I'm straight, my dad'll never find out that I wasn't straight." Marco said with a small laugh.

Ellie laughed back, "Exactly…so I'll talk to you later. Call me after the date, okay?"

"Okay, see you."

"Bye." Ellie said and clicked off the phone.

Marco sighed and then got up from his bed, he did a check in the mirror before stepping out of his room and down the stairs to go see Dylan.

DING DONG, Paige pressed pause on the yoga DVD she was doing and got up from her yoga mat, walking to the front door. She was pretty sure she didn't look her best, her golden blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail, her face had absolutely no make up on it and she was wearing a light pink wife beater with a pair of gray track pants with pink stripes down either side.

She pulled open the door and gulped, wanting to slam it right back shut. It was Marco.

"Uh…hey Marco." She said with a small smile.

Marco nodded his head slowly, "Hey Paige. Is, uh…Dylan here?"

Paige shook her head, "He went to visit his friends at the dorm since you bailed on the date."

It's you're fault you boyfriend stealer. Conscience said, Paige could practically see her dancing around in circles in her mind, pointing her evil wand at her and snickering evilly.

Shut up, will you?

No.

Damn conscience.

Marco nodded, "Oh…okay, then I'm gonna just leave now." Marco said slowly, "See you Paige."

Paige gulped, "Okay…bye…"

Marco gave her a small wave before turning around and jogging down her porch steps. He walked down the smooth driveway before landing on the sidewalk and walking off.

Paige watched him walk away before closing the door and leaning against it.

She sighed frustratingly and placed a hand on the top of her head.

Smooth Michalchuck, Conscience said.

Conscience?

What?

"Shut the hell up." Paige said before walking back to the living room to soothe her mind by doing yoga.
