I just want to say thanks to: siochan peace (i like hathor too, she plays quite a significant role throughout this story, she's going to pop up alot), baalsqueen (thanks, and here's an update for you), sakura123 (it's a shame you can't see my vision - maybe that means i'm not a writer - and there is a plot, well by now it should be obvious it's about relationships - mostly romantic teenage romance - and, sam & jack do like each other, they're just very open about it but i've given subtle hints...or at least tried too), skabs (blonde was wayyy better lol), susiesg1 (sorry about all the characters, it's just that i find that in high school you meet all these people - most of whom you don't remember and i was just showing this in the story, and as for sam & Jack - they'll be together eventually, but they're gonna have to work for it), oscarkittens(the request for more J&S has been noted and i will try to include more as the story unfolds), filli (they're in some random high school, it just happens to have a name similar to the base), hyt (thanks for the guess), mimi (i'm glad i wasn't the only one who giggled whilst reading this - i found it funny. the only piece of my writing that has ever made me laugh), joey'sgirlforeverand sg-fan...i basically wanted to say thanks and answer any questions you may have on this story...Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to read this.
Sorry for the long delay, but i've been so busy with coursework - but enough with the excuses...hope you enjoy!
I could really do with reviews for this chapter as i'm not sure this new one fits into the story because of the long break, i'd like your opinion...and i'll post the next chapter as soon as i write it - hopefully very soon...Glo xxx
6. Kiss And Tell
As Miss Weir wrote the date and title onto the whiteboard, the class copied it into their exercise books. All the while, Daniel carried a smile on his face.
"Daniel,"
"Yes Jack?" he said not taking his eyes off the board.
"What's with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've got that geeky glint in you eye like that time you tricked me to going to that museum, and you told me the history about every object in the damn place." Jack said. Then a thought hit him, " – I know what it is, has it got anything to do with Annie Hathor?" Jack said raising an eyebrow, waiting for a reaction.
"Jack, don't say that out loud."
"What about Annie Hathor?" Harry questioned, overhearing their conversation, "Let me guess nerdboy, you had your first wet dream about her?"
Daniel kept his head down and kept quiet.
"Shut up Maybourne."
"Man, shut up O'Neill. Did it look like I was talking to you?"
"Maybourne, get a life would ya?"
"Man. You know nerd, you're lucky to have a friend like O'Neill, cause if you didn't, you'd be toast."
"Maybourne, talking about toast? - Didn't you just eat?"
A few people close by, chuckled including Daniel. Harry zipped it for a bit, so Jack and Daniel went back to their conversation at low level.
"Danny, so what happened with Hathor? Did you ask her out?"
"Well, no. We went to her house, her parents were out - "
"- Danny, you dog," Jack butt in.
"It's not like that. We just kissed."
"Kissed? Danny, you've finally turned into a man, I'm so proud. – Hold on, are you dating her or not?"
"Not."
"Not? – Why not?"
Vio was in the hallway, arranging her books in her locker. She had headphones in her ears, listening to music. Unexpectedly, she got tapped on the shoulder,
"You're the new girl, right?"
"I don't think of myself as all that new anymore," Vio looked at her and realised, "you must be Hathor. I'm Viola."
"Has Daniel told you about me?"
"Why do you ask? - I've just heard people talk about you, that's all," she said, her British accent becoming noticeable.
"Oh my god, are you English?"
"I used to live -"
Annie cut her off, "That is so totally rad! - We have to hang out sometime. How about now? I have a free period, do you wanna go shopping?"
"Okay, sure."
The two girls walked through the mall, going from shop to shop. Looking for something to buy. As the walked, they spoke mostly about Daniel.
"Yeah, we're dating."
"Dating? Daniel didn't say anything. "
"You know boys, they're so open about feelings. First he'll tell me he loves me, and in less than a week he'll probably want to do it."
"You are joking? Daniel isn't like that surely."
"He's a guy. – I guess that means I could do with some new underwear. Do you know what his favourite colour is?"
"Daniel isn't just another guy."
"Yeah he is. Trust me, I know guys – I've dated enough of them, ooh, lets go in here."
They momentarily walked into the shop. Annie's concentration seemed to be on finding underwear, but Vio was confused by their conversation.
"So, how many have you dated?"
"I've lost count – five this year."
"And how many of them did have you do it with?"
"Do you mean 'had sex' with?"
Vio nodded.
"Four of them – are you going to buy something?"
"I don't need any."
"Who says you have to need a thong to by one? - Live a little, I dare you. "
"I'm always up for a dare."
"You have to buy a thong or g-string – something sexy and wear it to school."
"That's easy."
The rest of the week passed quickly. Everyone seemed busy with their own lives and their girlfriends. Reaching home, Vio immediately picked up the phone and dialled Jonas' number. As soon as the dialling tone ended and someone picked up she said,
"Griff, I need to talk to you!"
"Whoa. Calm down, what is it?"
"I've had a miserable few days."
"Why don't you stay at my place for the weekend – sort your head out"
"You're the best Griff, I'll be ready in thirty minutes."
"I'll come pick you up."
Upon arriving at Jonas' house, Vio dumped her back of clothes on the floor of his bedroom. Then kicked off her shoes and jumped under the covers of his double bed.
"Hey, is it seriously that bad?" he asked, pulling back the covers with a weak smile. She kept her frown. Jonas joined her in his bed and cuddled her, "what's the matter, I've never seen you like this."
Vio buried her face in his chest, breathing heavy.
"Your brother would kill me right now if I wasn't gay."
Vio laughed, "and my father would too if he knew we were this close."
Jonas chuckled, "at least you're making a joke. So what happened?"
"It's just I feel all left out. Jack has a girlfriend, Daniel has a girlfriend – they're both so busy and don't have time to hang out with me. Oh no, they're too busy. And you know Daniel – that one you met when that wanker Harry was being rude to you that day – he's so busy with his girlfriend he hasn't had time this week to help me with my history. And his girlfriend just wants him for sex, she told me so. And she said she's slept with four of the five guys she's dated this year."
"Oh I get it. You're jealous."
"Am not! I just wish they'd remember me and my feelings."
"Shall I tell you what I think? I think you like this Daniel."
"I do not!"
"You do. You mentioned his name a number of times during that rant of yours – why are you so worked up by his relationship. It's his relationship therefore his problem. You're making all this drama over some guy, you must really like him."
Daniel was in Annie's bedroom. They had been in a lip lock on Annie's bed for about five minutes. Her parents were out for the rest of the day and she thought it would be the perfect time for them to be alone together. She ran her hands through his hair and down his back. As she began lifting his shirt, Daniel jumped up.
"I thought this was what you wanted. This is why you came over today, isn't it?"
"Yes. But…but I didn't bring any protection. I forgot, I'm sorry."
She leaned over to her nightstand, opened the draw and pulled out a condom, "I've got it covered."
