The Teenage Mind of a Geller-Willick-Bunch.
A/N: Ok thanks to everyone who reviewed.
Bittersweetsymphony18: Yes, I agree, England rocks! But I have to say; the Americans do come up with some good TV shows, such as Friends. And some great films; Back to the Future, one of my favourites ever! I'm glad you liked it and I hope you like this one too.
Rachgreengeller: Thanks. Sorry it was a bit confusing; maybe it was the Brit lingo. Enjoy this part, hopefully you can read it better!
RubyPotter: Thanks! Yeah, I understand now that Emma did act a bit young, but I have good reason for writing her that way. In the beginning, Ben was 15, making Emma 7. After I wrote the chapter, I changed Ben's age and not Emma's. Author's mistake, and I do apologise.
Clcountry: Where would I be without you to change the Brit lingo to American lingo? Thanks for putting me straight with some stuff. And cheers for betaing the last chapter!
To All Reviewers: Have a beer (or if you do not like beer, any alcoholic beverage) on me, Sorry it's so late!

Chapter 2: Lauren.
I wish I didn't fail my driving test now. It would be so much easier just to cruise into school in a Mercedes convertible, rather then walking. But my dad insisted on teaching me how to drive, as he thought Drivers Ed wouldn't work. Well, I did everything my dad told me too in the test, and a letter came through the mail saying I was too cautious about the way I drive. Honestly!
So, I'm walking, yes, I was late already, I don't see the point of being only five minutes late. If you're going to be late, be fashionably late and arrive at least half an hour after school starts.
BEEP BEEP!
A car pulled up beside me, it was a Ford Mustang, very classy.
"Oy! Benjamin! Wanna ride?" Shouted a familiar voice from the window. I swivelled around and my best mate Lauren's head was sticking out of the car. She grinned and I beamed back.
"Sure," I replied and opened the door and settled myself in the front seat.
Lauren looked beautiful today; she wore a short denim skirt and a blue top with white flowers. Her blonde hair was casually lying long past her shoulders. Lauren has been my best friend since I moved to Long Island to live with his Dad and Rachel. We live on the same street although Lauren is about twenty doors down. She's British and moved over here seven years ago. Her Mum became a professor at the local university, and so Lauren, her mum and her big brother George came to Long Island, albeit reluctantly, but I'm sure glad they did.
"You late too?" I asked.
"Yeah, well, only Geography first eh? Who wants to know what a flood plain is?" Lauren replied and laughed as she began to drive.
I smiled inside and sighed. How long had it been? Nearly a year since I moved to Long Island. A year since I met Lauren, a year since I fell in love with her. It was hard at first, hanging around with her without thinking what it would be like to kiss her. But now, I had gotten used to it. Sometimes, I wish I didn't like her the way I do, because we such a great friendship and I wouldn't want to ruin that. But she's just so damn beautiful, I just can't help it. I'm a seventeen year old and in love with my best friend.
There is another twist in my tale though.
"Anyway, Ned stayed over last night, so I was tired and needed a lie in." Lauren continued and winked at me.
That was the problem, or rather he was the problem. Ned, Lauren's sex-crazed boyfriend. It's not like I don't like him, it's just I hate him. When she met him, about 3 months ago, she changed completely. For instance, we used to go to the cinema every Wednesday evening and see the new film of the week. But ever since she started to date the creep, it was like "I'll have to check with Ned," He is just way too possessive of her, and I didn't like it at all.
Lauren pulled into the school car park and I checked my watch. We missed registration. I sighed and leant back on the seat as Lauren pulled the handbrake. God, if she knew how I felt, things would be so much better, brighter and enjoyable. I must have been silent for a while because Lauren looked at me strangely.
"What is going on in that little head of yours?"
I brought myself back down to earth.
"Little head?" I joked, hoping she wouldn't notice that I avoided the question.
Lauren just laughed and got out of the car. I sighed once more and got out.
"Come on Ben, Geography to get to!" She said and swiftly walked on, her bag swaying from left to right as she went.
"Yeah. Geography. Because that's all I think about." I muttered to myself, watching Lauren walk ahead.
