A/N: Chapter 2 already. I'll probably finish this tonight. God I have no life.

One Week Later

Lil

I have my hand in my pocket as I walk into the school Thursday, and instantly see Tommy and Kimmi kiss. I feel a pang of jealousy; I hold myself back because I know deep inside it is me Tommy loves, not Kimmi. I walk with my head down, and Kimmi quickly joins me. "Hey Chick what's up?" I force a smile. "Nothing much, you?" It's our typical morning conversation.

"Guess what I heard?" Kimmi prodded, as we walk towards out homeroom.

"What?" I play along, hoping she's going to break up with Tommy. "Gregg Fiber told me he likes you, a lot." Kimmi said with a smirk. I smile, Gregg Fiber is kind of cute, and if it will get Kimmi off any suspicion. "Really, well he is cute." I said walking into homeroom. Gregg smiled and me and winked. I was disgusted. I put my hand back into my pocket just to feel the ring. It made me feel special.

"So uh Lil," Gregg was talking to me, and I at Kimmi. She is staring at the board, rather smugly. "Yes Gregg," I try to be polite. "Will you go to the dance with me on Friday?" I cringe. Tomorrow is Friday. Tommy told me he is going to break up with Kimmi there. I smile," Of course I will."

Phil

I smile to myself. I feel like I've just won the lottery. Tommy told me the best news. He is going to break up with Kimmi on Friday, at the school dance. He made up some excuse. I almost feel bad for him, the keyword is almost. He hates breaking up with people. He gets all depressive and stuff, even though once he cuts it off with Kimmi we can all get on with our lives.

I throw on my white t-shirt. Tommy and I jog into the main gym where we are immediately assigned to run a mile. While we're running, all I can think about Is Kimmi, and her beautiful smile. I think I'll ask her out Monday. Tommy cuts me off, and I force my self to jog faster. I manage to beat him by a hair. I wonder how many people Lil has told that they're engaged?

She probably hasn't told anybody. Our parents certainly don't let on they know.

Tommy

I frown when I hear Kimmi tell me that MY Lil is going to the dance on Friday with Gregg Fiber. "I mean they make a totally cute couple." Kimmi stated, and I play along, for mine and Lil's safety of course. "Yea, its good to see Lil dating again, especially after the last incident." I cringe at the thought of it. Lil went out with a guy who was into heavy drugs, and he framed her. She had to spend the night in jail and everything.

I sigh and walk to second period. I have Lil in that class, and I can ask her what the hell's going on. I take my seat next to Lil, and smile nervously. "So uh, Kimmi tells me that your going to the dance Friday with Gregg Fiber." I say it as if it's a bad thing. "Yes," she answers, looking at me, her eyes say its for our own good. I understand. "Its only because Kimmi, well seems suspicious." She whispers the last word like its some kind of evil thing that can't be spoken.

I turn and don't look at her for the rest of the period, which is hard. We have this arranged so I don't do something stupid like try to kiss her. We walk out of class early. We both leave early because of student counsel, we have to patrol the lunch room. I give her a quick peck on the lips since nobody is around. "Tommy, not at school." She warns. I back off, a little hurt.

Kimmi

My day ends in a rush, and I find myself looking for Tommy. I want our romance to end, but at the same time I don't. I guess its one of those things that you'll always love the person, but not as a marriage love, or something like that. "Hey babe," I feel his arms around me, "Hey Tommy." I smile and kiss him quickly. I lick my lips and taste a slight hint of cherry lip gloss. I didn't put any on today. In all actuality the only person I know who puts on cherry lip gloss is Lil, and she puts on a lot, so it last all day.

"Tommy, uh, have you been kissing Lil?" I ask. His eyes get round, and he looks shocked. The look passes quickly, and I wonder if I was imagining it. I smile, and we walk home, hand in hand. I take note that he completely ignored my question about Lil. I feel jealous that he would do something like that. If they are seeing each other they're keeping it a big secret. I see Phil, and he looks at Tommy, and I and walks off. I feel bad, but once Tommy breaks it off with me then we can be together.

A/N: Second part of the three part thing is complete. Next chapter will be the dance, or something.
