"Sweet niblets." Miley said looking at Oliver. "Got to go." She said as she gave Lilly a hug before dashing off, her new bag boy Oliver, in tow.

Lilly tried to open the locker and it would not budge. With Oliver long out of sight her eyes trailed the eyes for her only other locker savior and Jackson was no where in sight. "Sweet niblets." She repeated Miley's favorite saying. She banged on the locker like Jackson had done and to no avail the thing would not budge.

"Here let me get that." A tall muscular brown boy smiled at her as he hit the locker in three key places and the locker opened. Lilly only swooned internally as she looked at Jose Carlos Martinez, the senior boy she had crushed on since he thrown Jimmy, the pool bully and Lilly's evil evil enemy, into the kiddie pool clothed in his nice Sunday clothes, before church, and all for messing with her. "You'd think they'd fix that. I had that locker when I was a fish. Hated it with a passion."

"Thanks." Lilly smiled as he plopped his hands over her and almost crowding her inside his body. He smelled of rich cologne she inhaled the scent and stored away for future memory recall.

"De nada Lilliana." Jose replied in Spanish with a hard to die for smile. She retrieved the books needed and shut the locker.

"Well I should be going." She said seeing a small escape route and heading for it.

"What is the rush senorita?" Jose asked as he looked at his watch. "We have a whole fifteen minutes before making a fashionably late entrance."

"Oh no . . .Miss . ." Her mind had fallen blank as she stared into his rich dark eyes. "Man hands would be terribly upset if I were . . "

His laugh broke her feeble attempts at conversation. "Miss Man hands hmm I see. And is her class very interesting?" Lilly shook her head as she blushed brightly.

"Classes interesting that will be the day!"

"Lilliana but you are a very studious charming woman." He smiled as he playfully poked her on the side. "You I believe are top your class."

"Sure but that doesn't mean the stuff interests me. I have very good study skills is all." She shrugged as she retrieved her backpack from the floor and swung it over her shoulder.

"You are so modest." JC said as he took the backpack from her. "Here let me walk you to Miss Man hands so she won't be upset at her most studious student."

"ummm thanks." Lilly replied a bit awkwardly. JC had not spoken a peep to her all term long and now here he was actually scheming her. Why? She wouldn't fall for his game. She would use resistance . . .as much . . as she could muster . . if any at all . .against that charming smile and that muscularly toned body. . .it was pure physical attraction . . .but it felt so right.

"Hey Lilly." Jackson said as she sighed in relief. He would save her, after all he owed her as much. But a look had overcome him as he saw the senior boy hovering over her. His voice wasn't welcoming nor happy as it always had been. His eyes glared at the older boy and it seemed his mere presence caused something. "Well see you later."

"Stewart wait." JC said gripping Jackson's arm. "I need a little of that stuff your selling. You know got to keep my princesa here happy." He grinned nodding his head towards Lilly. Lilly looked at both males confused at the conversation. "My little lady here has to be smiling ear to ear after your party."

"Sure." Jackson replied as he stuffed his hands in his pocket and nodded. "Come pick it up tonight."

"You are the man Stewart." With a slap on the shoulder and a look at Lilly. "I'll wait for you at the fountain."

"So that's the guy huh?" Jackson retorted as he turned on his heel. "I see he's something ain't he Lil?"

"He's something alright. "Lilly replied looking at him confused. What was it any of his business her affairs and who she talked to. "But not my type. He's up to something."

"Come on don't act." Jackson said biting his lip. "It's none of my business who you deal with."

"Jackson . . ."

"Forget it Lilly." He said as his eyes looked filled with pain in them, though she could not figure out why. Her and Jackson were just friends and nothing more then that. Sure he had a nice chest, he made her laugh, he seemed to be around more often when she needed someone and he seemed to understand her. Sure she had dreamed of his hand holding hers, his lips on hers and maybe doing something more. Suddenly she realized she hadn't been able to stop thinking about him and all that's occurred between them. "Just forget it alright"

"Your such an idiot sometimes." She responded looking him in the eyes and then leaving towards the fountain. When she got there JC linked his hand into her own and for a moment Jackson was forgotten.
