Ethan's peaceful 'alone' time was ruined, the moment Kira stormed in and threw herself onto the couch next to him, her books thrown onto the table.

"I hate her."

"Hate who?"

"Kristy."

"You mean… Krista?"

"Whatever."

Ethan grinned and shut his laptop, "what's up Kir? And what's with those?" He nodded towards the pile of books scattered on the table in front of them.

"They are notebooks," Kira rolled her eyes, "me and Conner were supposed to be doing our science project, but that priss has convinced him to go to some stupid convention thing."

"The science project's due in tomorrow."

"Duh, Eth. And Conner's too busy playing the perfect boyfriend to realise, and now were going to fail!"

Ethan went to speak, but suddenly laughed, "Oh my God, Kira!"

Kira threw an impatient look at him, "what?"

"Are you… jealous?"

Kira huffed and crossed her arms across her chest, "no! I'm just worried about the project."

"No… 'Cuz you know Dr. O will let us off… you're jealous!"

"I… Am… Not!"

Ethan grinned and nodded, "uh huh." He widened his eyes slightly, "you like Conner."

"I do not."

"Yeah, that's it! You want him to be the perfect boyfriend to you! Not Krista!"

"Breathe one word about this and I will kill you." Kira muttered, her lips arching in a sulk.

"Breathe one word about what?"

Kira looked up to see Conner plop down next to her, "don't be so nosy."

Conner pouted playfully and reached for the books, "come on. We've got a science thingy to do."

"Oh, do you've managed to tear yourself away from what's-her-face?"

Ethan opened his laptop, "so jealous." He muttered, quiet enough for Kira to hear.

Instead of retaliating, Kira stood up and grabbed her books, "come on then."

Conner stood up and saluted, "yes ma'am."

Kira rolled her eyes, making for the exit, "whatever."

Turning out onto the street, Conner fell into step with Kira and nudged his shoulder into hers, "did he fall for it?"

Kira nodded, "uh huh. But you nearly blew it, doofus."

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not, doubt you'd be able to prove it either."

Conner grinned, "Do I hear a challenge Miss Ford?"

Kira simply shrugged, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips, "maybe."

"My place?"

"Yep." Kira grinned.

"You know, Dr. O would kill us if he knew about this, especially since I'm failing science."

"All we're doing is studying." Kira pointed out innocently.

Conner smirked, "not what we're supposed to be studying though."

"It's biology, that's science, isn't it?"
