Disclaimer: do I really have to mention this? Just read the disclaimer in the last chapter and chapters before it.

Here we go, baby, don't stop now. (tries to whistle, and faints from lack of air)

The Tension and the Terror

And I try but I'm not convincing

Your lips they pout and twist and

I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

adam

Yay. Spring break. And where am I staying? In college. I'm a freaking collegeman. I should be down in Florida partying. But where am I? Here. Gosh, I feel like a loser. The good thing, though, is that Julie is here. Yay. No seriously. Yay.

"Hey, Adam."

Speak of the devil.

"Hey, Jules. Staying here too?"

I already know that, dammit.

"…."

"Uhm… sorry. Short-term memory loss. So anyways. How's life?"

"Swell."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I just came back from a really great night of sex."

She just starts nodding her head.

"Seriously? Was it a girl? Do you know your sexuality?"

"Gosh, Adam. Don't be retarded."

"Was it your imaginary boyfriend?"

"Okay. Now you're being mean."

Me? Mean? Nah.

"How can I be mean?"

"Well… you're being mean right now?"

"Would I be mean if I took you to IHOP and eat breakfast with me?"

"…"

SCORE!

"…."

Or.. not.

"Julie…."

"Huh?"

"You just blanked out on me…"

--------------

julie

Ack. I blanked out. I just had a weird daydream. I had a future with Adam Banks. How crazy is that? But then, I dreamt of us even hotter. Like Adam was Hayden Christensen and I was Natalie Portman. Oi vey. Stupid Star Wars.

"Uhm, I would love to go to IHOP with you!"

"Really?"

"Uh. No."

He went all pale. Aww. How cute. And adorable. Except he doesn't look that much hot all white and stuff. Do I like him? More importantly, do I love him?

--------------

adam

Dammit. She said no. Dammit.

--------------

julie

"Psyche!"

"Oh. Hahaha. Very funny."

"I love my sense of humor, too."

"Yeah. You make me laugh so much."

"I do? Aw. Gee. Thanks!"

"You're very welcome."

"You should stay nice. It makes you hot."

------------

adam

What? I need to get my ears check. What?

------------

julie

Ah…. I called him hot. Ahhhhh. Hehehehehe. I'm awesome.

"Yes. You're hot. I never told you that before?"

------------

adam

No.

------------

julie

"No."

"Oh. I didn't? Didn't you call me sexy before?"

------------

adam

NO. I think that! No. I KNOW THAT.

------------

julie

"That was some other dude."

"Oh. Sorry. Anyways. IHOP. What time?"

Idiot. Gosh, I'm such a blonde.

"Uh… right now?"

"Yay!"

-----------------------------

IHOP

-----------------------------

adam

"I want chocolate chip pancakes and I want it now!"

"You remind of Veruca Salt. You're Julie Gaffney. Not Veruca Salt."

"Shut up, Adam. You're so… pessimistic."

"At least I'm not spoiled."

"Yes, you are. You little cute rich boy with little cute suspenders."

"Uhm… maybe not suspenders. That's like… the wrong era."

"Adam. Speak to me. What is going on in your love life?"

"We need therapist chairs, Julie. Not… booths."

"Fine. We'll… oh wait. We're not close to your house."

"You're so stupid."

"I'm not stupid."

"Yes, you are. You have it written on your face."

Yes, she does. Hahahahaha.

-------------------

julie

I ran to the bathroom to find 'I'M STUPID!' written on my face. Of course when I looked at it in the mirror, it was backwards. I start mumbling as I turn on the faucet and wash it off.

-------------------

adam

Dammit. It's not permanent. Why did I use Crayola washables?

-------------------

julie

Hahahaha. Stupid Adam.

I returned from the bathroom and see Adam, having an inner battle. That's so cool! I never had an inner battle.

Well, excluding the fact I have it on tests. But who cares?

"I'm not having an inner battle."

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes, you did. You're a strange person."

Well, he's a freaking blonde.

"So are you."

Darnit. I really need to work on my 'speaking to myself' abilities.

"Yes, you need-"

"Shut up, Adam."

----------------------

adam

After breakfast, we went back to the dorms and just… hung out. Yeah.

"So, Adam. Have any current girlfriends?"

She seriously wants me to answer that?

"I have eight million so far."

-------------------------

Julie

Stupid man whore. Man slut. Man everything.

-------------------------

adam

"What?"

Can she not take a joke?

"I was just kidding, Jules."

She's even more blonde than me.

"I know. I was just being… mock… amazed!"

Hahahahaha. That's why I love her. She's stupid, hot, sexy, smart, and the one.

"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

"Can't a friend know?"

"Not unless you want to become my girlfriend, then, no."

-------------------------------

Julie

He's right. Eeeh. I shouldn't be asking him this. How embarrassing. Oh well. I'm going to find out anyways.

-------------------------------

"No. Seriously. I want to know."

"Because I'm waiting for my move."

I'll just go around it. I can make my way.

"OOH. Who's the lucky girl?"

"Someone I know."

-------------------------------

julie

Is he avoiding this?

"No, duh. Who is it?"

"Someone who's very endear to me and I love her so."

Ah! Green monster! Go away!

"You love her? How long have you known her?"

"Forever."

He nods his head. It sounds like he's talking about me.

----------------------------------

adam

I'm soooo smooth.

"By any chance, does it happen to be me?"

Gah. Wait. A hint of hope in her beautiful green eyes? Wow. But I'll still avoid it. Dammit. I didn't.

----------------------------------

Julie

He… kissed me. YEA-YA! It's me!

"I love you, too, Adam."

Hahahahaha.

----------------------------------

adam

Okay. This is for real now. SCORE!
