A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. You are all fabulous. Here's chapter 2.

Disclaimer: I own Olivia and Melanie and Mr. Dalesio and anyone else you don't recognize. Anyone you do recognize, I don't own.

"So, how are those projects coming?" Mr. Dalesio asked at the beginning of class.

"Umm not well." Megan said. "We got like no work done last night. How 'bout giving the class an extension till Monday?" The class showed their support.

"How about no?" Mr. Dalesio said. "They are due on Friday. Now, get to work. Class today is for work."

"Megan," Olivia and Colby moved their chairs to the table that Don and Megan were working at. "You don't need to ask you parents about me staying anymore. They're going to Miami now and I'm going too."

Megan nodded, a look of relief on her face, but no one except Don noticed and he wondered why she was relieved. Getting lost in his thoughts, he didn't realize that Megan was talking to him. Once he did, he immediately tuned into what she was saying.

"Got it?" Megan asked. Don shook his head in the negative. She sighed, clearly aggravated, but explained it to him again.

It was now Wednesday night, and there was a baseball game. The entire team was gathered in the locker room, waiting for the coach to show up and give a pep talk.

"You know, we are the only team that has cheerleaders for their baseball team." David said, tying his cleats.

"Who cares?" Colby said. "They're cheerleaders, with their beautiful mini skirts."

Don shook his head, trying to ignore his friends and clear his head. They had this same argument almost every game and it was starting to bug him. On one hand, he agreed with David. No other school had cheerleaders for their baseball team. But on the other hand, he was on Colby's side. The cheerleaders did look good in their outfits.

As the team walked out of the locker room and onto the field, Don was surprised to find Charlie there with his friend Amita. She too, had skipped three grades and was the same age as Charlie.

"You ready for this Don?" Coach Davis asked him. "This is a key game."

Don nodded the affirmative. He was always ready, when it came to baseball. He and Colby walked past the cheerleaders. Megan held up three fingers, pointed at him, and then held up three fingers again, signaling that he should meet her at 3:00 tomorrow to work on their project. Don nodded.

"Good luck." She mouthed to him and turned to the crowd along with the other cheerleaders.

At the 7th inning, they were ahead by 6 runs. The other team was getting madder and madder by the second and when Don went up to bat, he thought that the pitcher was trying to hit him with the ball. He adjusted his feet and waited for a nice pitch. One finally came and he took a swing at it.

It was out of the park. Cheers erupted from the stands, cheers so loud that they completely covered the sighs from the other team's fans. Don grinned as the runners on second and third made it home. As he passed the third baseman, he received a glare. By the time he was at home, the entire team and all the cheerleaders were there to greet him.

"Don, how about a picture for the paper?" A sophomore with a camera asked him. With a couple of teammates and Megan and Olivia, Don smiled as the photographer took the picture.

At that instant, he felt a shove from behind. Everyone toppled over, landing in a pile. Standing there was the third baseman. Colby stood up and shoved him back. Teammates of the baseman came over and soon punches were being thrown everywhere.

Coaches, umpires, and some parents were eventually able to pull everyone apart.

"Megan." Olivia gasped and rushed to her friend's side. Megan was holding her wrist and looked like she was in a lot of pain.

Don was right next to her as soon as Olivia said her name. "What's wrong, Megan?"

"My wrist." Megan said. Her wrist was swelling so much that it was almost twice the size that it should be. With some help from Don, she pulled herself into a standing position. A medical assistant came over and pulled her away. Once that was dealt with, the game continued.

It was a win for them. Charlie and Amita joined Don as he walked away from the field.

"Dad says that you have to take us home." Charlie said.

Don scowled. Now he knew why Charlie and Amita were here. If Alan told them to tell him to give them a ride home, there would be no celebration after the game and he wouldn't miss curfew.

"Fine, go get ready to get in the car." Don said, as his cell phone started to ring. Charlie and Amita made no move towards the parking lot as Don answered.

"Don?" Olivia was in tears as Don answered.

"What's wrong Olivia?" Don asked, immediately worried.

"It's Megan. The medical assistant gave her something and she won't..."Olivia took a deep breath.

"Where are you?" Don asked.

"Uhhh I'm at the front entrance." Don shut his phone and took off in a run. Charlie and Amita were close behind him, both confused for probably the first time in their life.

"Where is she?" Don asked. Olivia pointed to her friend, who was lying on a bench, unconscious.

"Is she going to be ok?" Olivia asked, tears in her eyes.

"What happened?" Charlie asked. The medical assistant came up to them.

"She just took one too many pills for the pain." He said.

"You're a medical assistant." David said, as he, Colby, and Melanie joined them.

"So?" Colby said.

'So, medical assistants can't give out medicine like that." Charlie said, in a matter of factly voice.

"They can't?" Colby asked. Charlie and David shook their heads. Don threw a punch at the guy.

"So help me god that if she doesn't wake up completely fine, except for maybe a headache, tomorrow, I will hunt you down and slowly kill you." Don almost spat at the guy, then wondered why he was doing this. He and Megan weren't friends. It must be for the project, he told himself.

The guy nodded, rubbing his jaw. He spat on the ground, some blood ending up in the small puddle.

Don lifted Megan up. "What are you doing?" Charlie asked.

"Taking her home." Don said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Come on, let's go."

The car ride was short, and with the help of Charlie and Amita, Don carried Megan into her house and up to her room. Charlie and Amita then left while Don laid her down on the bed. He was about to kiss her forehead, when he caught himself.

Why did something that he shouldn't have even thought about doing, seem so right?
