A/N: Hey! Thanks for the reviews! I had a point come up in one however. I made a mistake. Z final words in chapter three, "Hypothesis Proven" are incorrect. Hypotheses can't be proven, only supported. This was brought to my attention by Toreshi-san. Thank you. On another note, I had no requests to continue with a sequel. I'm not sure if it's too early but some one needs to let me know. Also, forgive me if I'm whining, reviews are nice, I love reviews, it means some one is reading. I will continue this story as long as some one is interested, but you need to let me know! If you reviewed the first chapter but no others, I don't know if you're still interested, or if you got bored and left! Please review so I know that I'm not just writing for my self! All right, thanks for listening to my ranting. All I hope for now is that you're actually reading this and not just skipping ahead for the chapter. Oh, right! The chapter! That's what I'm doing here! About the chapter, it's a bit shorter then the last few, I'm still working on the story, so be patient. I figure I'm about halfway through or so. This chapter would probably be considered a filler. Sorry! Okay, I'm going to stop the author's note right now, before it becomes longer then the Chapter. Thank you again! Let's continue!

Corrine was in the courtyard, studying when Josie walked purposely up, sat down on the bench the wrong way, and leaned back against the table. Josie turned to find Corrine staring at her.

"What?"

Corrine looked at her, slightly confused. "You look…different. What happened?"

"Happened? Nothing's happened." Josie said nonchalant.

Corrine gave her a look that said 'yeah, right'.

"All right! Lucas asked me out. Yesterday. We went to a movie."

"You went out with Lucas? I thought you and Vaughn…?"

Josie rolled her eyes. "Maybe we were …It was never official."

Corrine raised her eyebrows.

After a pause Josie said, "…All right! Maybe it was official…sort of…unofficially…"

"Unofficially official?" Corrine asked with an eyebrow still raised.

"Yeah, but that doesn't meant that I can't go to the movies with Lucas, does it?" Josie waited a moment, "Does it?"

"Have you told Vaughn?"

Josie shifted uncomfortably and looked away. "Not yet, but I haven't had the chance."

"Hey guys, what's up?" Marshall came bounding up to the table where they sat, and slid in beside Corrine.Without waiting for a reply, he launched into an excited account of the band's performance the night before. "It was great! The crowd loved us! We were perfect! Ohhh…it was phenomenal! It was beyond description!"

Josie smiled, "It looks like you going to make an effort though!"

Corrine laughed.

Marshall turned toward Corrine and continued relating the night's events, as Josie looked around the courtyard squinting against the sunlight. Her gaze landed on Lucas, who was in a heated chess match against Lefler.

Vaughn had once asked her how much nerd one kid could take. She had responded by asking him how much jock one kid could take. They'd agreed to disagree.

Vaughn…Josie's eyes moved unconsciously to the football field where Vaughn and his team were doing a drill. Josie had a flash of concern for him. He was so busy with school, football and the Science Club. Was it wearing him out? Corrine's question broke through her thoughts.

"Huh?"

Corrine rolled her eyes, "I said, how was Professor Z?"

"Z?"

"Josie, you went to see him yesterday. Was he okay?"

"Oh, yeah…" Josie scrunched up her face in an effort to remember, "Lucas asked me to go to the movies with him, and I…"

"Forgot?" Corrine filled in, then paused. "Wait, you didn't see him yesterday at all?"

"No, Lucas and I went to the movie."

"What about Science Club?"

"Oops, forgot about that too."

"So no one was at the meeting again?"

"Guess not." Realization dawned on Josie's face. "Poor Z! He's going to think we forgot about him!"

"Which you did!"

Marshall had been half listening, being more interested in the fact that Lefler had picked up his chess board in a huff and stalked off, his friends following behind, suddenly turned to Josie.

"Hold on, Lucas asked you out?"

"Yes…I believe that has been mentioned…more then once."

"Oh," Marshall turned back to Lucas, who was grinning triumphantly at Lefler's receding back. "Wow. I didn't know he had it in him."

Me neither, thought Josie.

"Look, here he comes," Marshall pointed out, as Lucas made his way over to the group.

"Hey, guys, Josie, what's going on?"

"We were about to head over to Z's office." Corrine stated. "Josie forgot to go see him yesterday."

Josie rolled her eyes but winced inside. "It wasn't quite like that, I was at his door when Lucas came up…but one thing led to another, and…" she trailed off, waiting for Corrine's inescapable addition.

"You forgot."

"Chillax guys! We'll all go see him now." Lucas grinned still energized by his victory over Lefler. "Come on!" He grabbed Josie by the arm and pulled her into the school, leaving Marshall to walk in with Corrine.
