Griff sat next to Nate. "Where were you last night bro?" "Just hanging," said Nate. Griff shot up both eyebrows. "I'm not buying that bull," he said eying Nate. "Ok fine," started Nate. "Elise was up trying to walk, I found her and brought her back to her room." "I wanted to watch her because she had a temperature, and I fell asleep in her chair." "There are you happy now?" ask Nate

"That was nice of you," said Griff rubbing the back of his head. "It's what any friend would do," said Nate. "Friend..." said Griff making kissing faces at him. Nate punched Griff playfully on the shoulder. "I just wanted to make sure she was ok," said Nate. "Sure," said Griff sarcastically. "What ever you say."

Atomika entered the area that the boarders were hanging in. He got a coffee and sat down next to Nate. "Nice to have you here Nate," said Atomika putting cream and sugar in his coffee. "I trust that your weren't causing any trouble last night." Nate smiled. "No Atomika, not at all."

Griff started yarning. "I really didn't get enough sleep last night," he thought to himself. "I did have a good time hanging with my friends though." "Some one my own age." "But... some of they stuff they did I really didn't like." Soon Griff found himself having a battle with his own thoughts.

"What's up with some of the stuff they want me to try anyways?" thought Griff. "But some of the stuff you did try," said the right side of his brain. "True, I did try it but those guys' would have thought I was a punk if I didn't," thought Griff again.

"I love the ssx team and all, but where do I go from here. "Just have fun with life," said right side again. "Going and having fun with those groups of kids is a fabulous choice." Something was telling Griff that this was a bad idea. Now he was stuck between two choices. The right choice and the wrong choice.

"Well, I do like hanging at the teen club, and me sneaking out makes me fell more alive, older, and wiser." "But then again something deep inside me knows that doing this is wrong and irresponsible," thought Griff. He shook his head and then smiled. "I can do what ever I like with my life." "I always see Psymon and Zoe, or Moby and Zoe going out and doing something nutty." "I can do the same thing."

"But what would Nate say if he found out that I was doing a lot of the crap teenagers were thought known to do?" "He would never trust me again." "But...Why should it matter like I said before, "Nates not my dad, and never will be." "No one knows what was going on with the other side of me anyways." "That's right," said the right side of his brain slipping in again. "This can be our little secret." "Once you go this way, you will never want to turn back around again." Griff sighed. "Perhaps going this 'new way' was not a bad choice at all," he thought.

'But someone else knew about Griff little sneaking out secret.'

The only person that knew was no other than one of his roommates, Mac Fraser.

Atomkia and Nate noticed that Griff was thinking about something. "Griff...Griff," said Nate trying to get him out of his little daze. "Whooho... are you here buddy." Griff shook himself out of it. "What's going on with you?" ask Nate looking at him. "Nothing!" said Griff snapping back at him. "Whoa there cowboy," said Nate holding up his hands. Griff stood up to go. "Griff..." started Nate, but he was already out of the door. Mac shook his head as he notice Griff leaving in a hurry.

Mac had followed Griff as he snuck out a couple of times. He never let Griff spot him though. "Mac and Griff weren't the best of friends but sometimes they hung out. It would depend on the type of mood Mac was in. They were always battling for the gold like true rivals. "Sometimes he wanted to grab Griff and drag his rear-end back to the hotel."

"I'm nothing like Nate or anything but I surprisingly do care if the 'Little Grommet' gets hurt or not," thought Mac. "That kid's going to get him self in a world of trouble." Mac was looking towards the doorway that Griff went out of.

He suddenly heard a glass break, from outside of the café area. The breaking glass caught all the boarders' attention. A man came running out of the room and screaming at the same time. "That Guys' Crazy"! Sure enough the guy he was referring to was Psymon Stark. Psymon came into the café area laughing hysterically.

Griff found himself feeling bad for blowing up at Nate like that. He also noticed that he was starting to have terrible mood swings. Sometimes mood swings weren't the problem. He was mad at himself, for lying to Nate and for sneaking out. "Nate's my best friend, I should be able to tell him anything." "But I can't." "I just have to cool down," Griff said to himself. "Besides once I go this path that I'm headed, there's no turning back."

Nate looked it to his coffee. He was wondering what could be troubling Griff. He took the thought from his mind. "Seems Mr. Simmons is upset," said Atomika. Atomkia wasn't use to seeing Griff that way either. "So that stuff I put on Elise's ankle will make her drowsy because of the pain," said Nate trying to get off the subject of Griff. "Ok," said Atomika. "Even thought I am a bit drowsy already, I think I can handle it," said a voice behind them.

Nate and Atomika turned around to see Elise struggling with crutches. "What are you doing here Miss. Riggs?" ask Atomika. "I was kind of getting bored in my room," said Elise. "This ankle is killing me." "Owww." Nate stood up and placed Elise in a chair.

Her M-Com started to ring. "Eddie," she said in a surprising voice. His picture flashed up on her screen. "Hey Lis," Eddie said smiling. "I heard about your fall, are you doing ok?" "I'm doing pretty good," Elise said.

Eddie and Elise were best friends and nothing could ruin their friendship. They stayed in touch even thought he wasn't in this years season. "I really miss you she said in to her M-Com." "I miss you too," said Eddie. "Where are you?" asked Elise. "I'm in Miami, started Eddie but he got interrupted by a girl calling his name. "Yo Eddie best two out of three," said the woman's' voice. "I'm coming Misty!" shouted Eddie. "I'm playing volleyball with Misty May." "I can't believe it!" Elise saw Eddie's stomach on her M-Com. It had volleyball marks on it. "That girl can really spike it," said Eddie smiling. Eddie gave Elise another quick smile. "You will always be my best friend, but my stomach is killing me," said Eddie." "Awwww..." he moaned. Nate walked next to Elise and asks who it was. "It's Eddie," she said.

Nate met Eddie at one of their ssx parties. Elise gave Nate her M-Com so he could speak to him. "How are ya doing Nate?" ask Eddie. "I'm good and how about you?" ask Nate. "I'm good," said Eddie despite these ridiculous marks on my stomach. "So how's things going with you know," said Eddie tilting his head towards Elise. It was obvious he was talking about her. Nate remembered telling Eddie doing the party that he would like to get to know her better, because she seemed like a nice person. Eddie gave him a smile and a nod. He then told Nate that if he hurt her he would never see the light of day again. (End of flashback)

"I have to go now, Misty's showing me all these insane volleyball moves," said Eddie. He gave a wink at Nate and said, "Take good care of my sis, ok." (Eddie and Elise are not related in any way, he just sees her as a little sister. -in this story at least. Back to the story)

"Ok," said Nate smiling. He gave Elise back her M-Com.

Nate pulled up a chair so he could talk to Elise about her ankle. "Here's the deal with that ankle of your Elise, that medicine will still be kicking in so it will be hurting for a while." "We also have to make sure that it won't bleed again, the stuff I put on it will help it out." "And one more thing," Nate begin. "I have to change your bandage every two days, and the medication will in fact make you drowsy." "Ok," said Elise. "The best part of it all is, that after your ankle is better you can snowboard all you want," said Nate. Elise smiled. "Thanks Logan, oh and 'thanks for the soda' last night too." Nate blushed. "Your welcome," he said. "It's what any friend would have done."

Nate went back the chat with Atomika, while Elise chatted with Zoe and Kaori. Allegra was out taking a walk with Viggo.

"This looks like it could be a good season for all the rider's," said Allegra. "I'm so going to kick Elise's but, that is as soon as she gets better." Viggo chuckled. "So... this is a nice little walk we are having, wouldn't you say so?" ask Viggo. Allegra was playing with her braid. Viggo stopped walking and asked her "what was up." "Nothing," said Allegra. "Come on, when you start twisting your braid around something's up," said Viggo eying her. He had to admit that she looked cute whenever she did that. Allegra bit her lip, "so Vig are ya hungry?" she asked. "Don't try to change the subject," said Viggo. Allegra stopped playing with her braid and looked up at him He was tall, handsome and charming at the same time. Not like any guy she had befriended or 'liked' before." I... was wondering if... if you want to...err." "Err what..." asked Viggo, but he got cut off," by some girl calling out his name.

The girl went up to him. "Viggy how are you," she said. "Stephanie... man I haven't seen you for a while," said Viggo nervously. "You look hot...I mean great," he said still noticing that Allegra was next to him. "It is nice seeing you again," said Stephanie handing him a piece of paper with her number scribbled on it. "You should come over sometime like you use to," she said. "Yeah it was nice seeing you again also," said Viggo. "Bye," he said eying her as she turned around to leave. Allegra was shocked and anode. "That was her chance to ask Viggo out and that flussy came and wrecked it all!" She was more annoyed at Viggo then the girl. Allegra started to walk away from him. "Hey Allegra what's wrong," asked Viggo trying to catch up to her. "You just stormed off on me," he said rubbing the back of his head.

"Who was that," Allegra turned around to ask him. Anger showed its hatred as it beamed a crossed her face. "She was just a friend and nothing more," said Viggo nervously. "I'm not buying that crap," said Allegra. "Excuse me," said Viggo getting tensed up. "You're the one that stormed off on me, 'you act like you and I are some freaking couple'."

"I am not," said Allegra trying to control her anger. "Allegra you will always be my best friend and all, just don't act jealous when ever I'm around another girl." As soon as Viggo said that, the words seemed to come back at him. They came into one ear and seem to stay in his head.

"I'm sorry, 'I didn't mean it the way it came out'," said Viggo trying to defend himself. In Allegra's mind she could hear a mirror crack and shatter everywhere. "Yes you did!" Allegra screamed at him. "You...You," she said poking him in the chest; but the words couldn't come out of her mouth. Her face normally got red when she was angry, this time it was steaming. "She went up to Viggo and slapped him a crossed his face. Allegra was in disbelief that she just did that.

"I have to be by my self for a while," said Allegra looking down at the ground. Viggo notice that the expression on her face turned from angry to sad in just an instance. "Aww..."Viggo moaned. "I'm sorry Allegra, but you didn't have to hit me that hard." Allegra started to back away from him and turned around to run.

Viggo tried to grab her wrist, wanting to know an explanation from that out burst. "Get your hands off me!" she yelled at him. She then started running. Thoughts started to swerve through her head. "I can't believe I did that to my best friend, but it was his fault." "He deserved to be slapped!" "He shouldn't have said that." "Why didn't he tell me that he was with someone else?" "We are best friends and he kept this from me." "How dare he"!

"What's wrong with her," Viggo was wondering while rubbing his face. "Girls are so weird." "There were a lot of girls out there that would storm around him." Many people would get it mixed up. Viggo wasn't into the girls, the girls were into him. Stephanie was an exception. Viggo did have feelings for her, but it all changed when something unfortunate happened. He started walking to the hotel hoping to catch Allegra to sort this whole thing out.

Seems that Griff has already made a choice. You guys probably guessed it, but the right side of his brain in the irresponsible side and the left is his happy hyper sugarcoated side. Hope you guys like this chapter. I will update it as soon as possible. I really hope that Eddie's part in it was ok with you guys. I really do like Eddie and Elise as a couple sometimes. I thought it was a good idea to put him in there seeing that Elise was hurt and giving her a ray of hope that her best friend was there for her. I also like the idea of Misty May being in there too. Hope you guys like it.
