AN-And here is chapter 2. I do have a plan for this story...I'm just not exactly how to get there...go, let's enjoy the journey together, shall we?
Katie and Maddie walked into their first hour together.
''Science. How fun.'' remarked Maddie, dryly.
Katie laughed at her friend and they took a seat at one of the lab tables. The bell rang and the teacher walked to the front of the class.
''They're a seating charter.'' Maddie whispered.
Sure enough, the teacher announced the class would be sitting in alphabetical order. Everyone groaned.
''Elli Abbot and Mark Anderson, front row. Katie Banks and Cade Carson, right behind them.''
Katie ignored the rest of the names as she took her seat. She glanced at her new seat mate.
''Hey, my name's Cade.'' he said, grinning.
He was cute. He had short brown hair, brown eyes, and a sexy smile.
''Katie.'' she said.
''Yeah, I think I had a class with you last year. You look different.'' he let his eyes wander over her. ''Really different.''
Katie blushed. ''So, this should be fun, sitting next to each other.''
''Tons. So, do you like hockey?'' he asked.
''Not really, but my brother is on a the team, so I go to all the games.''
''Adam Banks right? Isn't he the captain?''
Katie shook her head. ''The captain is Charlie Conway, my boyfriend.''
''Oh..boyfriend.'' Cade said.
Katie nodded. Suddenly, he didn't seem as interested in her.
The bell rang to end first hour and Katie smiled as she spotted Charlie waiting for her.
''Hey.'' she said, walking over to him.
He kissed her. ''Hey Kat. First hour fun?''
''Thrilling.'' she rolled her eyes.
''Charlie.'' Maddie greeted.
''Maddie.'' he greeted back.
''See you tomorrow Katie.''
The trio looked over and saw Cade grin at Katie before walking down the hallway.
''Who was that?'' Charlie asked, stiffly.
''My lab partner.'' she looked at him. ''Are you ok?''
''Yeah. So lab partner, anyway to get that changed?'' he asked.
''Are you jealous?'' she asked.
''No, psh. Why would I be...I'm not.'' he insisted.
Katie and Maddie shared a smile. ''Right.''
''I'm not!'' he insisted.
Katie leaned over to peck his cheek. ''I believe you sweetheart.''
''I'm not.'' he muttered.
Katie just smiled, and Maddie laughed.
Charlie walked Katie to her next hour while Maddie walked to hers. As she traveled down the hallway, a familiar person popped up next to her.
''Hey Mads.''
''Hey Dean. What's up?'' she asked.
''Nothing much. Was your first hour fun?'' he asked.
Maddie laughed dryly. ''It's science. It's never fun.''
''True.'' he agreed.
''Oh, this is my stop. I'll see you at lunch.''
''Bye.'' Dean said as he watched her walk inside her classroom.
Suddenly a hand was waving in front of his face.
''Earth to Portman.'' Fulton said.
Dean smacked his hand away. ''What.''
''I've never seen you like this before.'' Fulton said.
''Like what?'' Dean asked.
Fulton shot a look at the classroom where Maddie was. ''Like completely falling for someone.''
With that note, Fulton was gone and Dean was left staring after Maddie.
Charlie walked into his second hour and smiled at Connie. He took the seat next to her.
''Hey Cons, how was Florida.''
''It was fun. Guy and I had a blast. How was Minnesota.''
He grinned. ''It was great.''
''So you and Katie are going strong?'' she asked.
He nodded. ''That's the only good thing about the summer.''
''What happened?'' she asked, concerned.
''Scott got laid off. Him and my mom have been fighting a lot lately.''
Connie groaned, sympathetically. ''I'm sure it will get better. They really love each other.''
''Yeah. I hope so.'' Charlie muttered.
The morning passed quickly and soon it was lunch time. Katie and Maddie entered the lunchroom and headed for the Ducks table.
''Hey guys. Where's Charlie?'' Katie asked, after scanning the table.
''He said to meet to at your spot.'' Adam said, coming up behind her.
''So, everyone enjoying being juniors?'' Maddie asked, as Katie left to find Charlie.
''Oh yea. More homework, more tests, a new coach. Can't think of anything better.'' Dean said.
Maddie rolled her eyes and sat down next to him. ''You know, sarcasm is only funny when it's done by me.''
Dean laughed. ''I'm sorry, how could I be so evil.''
Maddie nodded. ''You're very evil.''
''And your very annoying.'' Dean said.
Maddie glared playfully at him, and nudged him with her arm, hard. Dean just laughed, reaching over and stealing her milk.
''Hey, Dean Portman, you give that back.''
''Make me.'' he said.
''You're going to regret those words.'' Maddie said, her eyes narrowing.
The team watched in amazement as Dean and Maddie played around. Julie and Connie shared a look, while Fulton just shook his head with a smile.
Katie walked outside and saw Charlie lounging underneath their tree.
''Hey you.'' she said.
He looked up and smiled at her. She sat down between his legs, resting against his chest.
''So, how was your morning.'' he wondered.
''Boring. I missed you.''
''I missed you too.''
They kissed. Katie's hand rested on his cheek. He deepened the kiss and she moaned gently when he tongue touched hers.
They finally broke apart and Katie whispered. ''I love you.''
''I love you too.''
He kissed her forehead tenderly.
''So, what are your plans for after school?''
''Hockey practice.''
''Oh that's right. I guess I'll be number two now.'' she sighed, dramatically.
He chuckled. ''Kat, you know you're my number one.''
She smiled. ''Yea, I know.''
They kissed again.
After lunch Katie was at her locker when a familiar blonde popped up.
''Hey Jules, what's up?'' Katie asked.
''Does Maddie still like Dean?''
''I think so. Why?''
''You should have seen them at lunch. They were playing around and teasing each other. Between you and me, I think Dean has finally opened his eyes.''
Katie grinned. ''Does Maddie know?''
Julie shrugged. ''Maybe she doesn't think anything by it. I mean, he did reject her last year.''
Katie closed her locker. ''Well, let's hope it works out for the best.''
''You mean, you're not going to like, speed up the process?''
''No. If Dean is finally seeing Maddie in a new light, then he should spend more time with her. Let the crush turn into something more, without us all getting in the way.''
Julie reluctantly agreed. Then, Adam popped up.
''Hey Kat. Jules.''
He kissed his girlfriend. ''What are you guys talking about?''
''Uh...'' Julie said, looking to Katie for help.
''That time of the month. Julie and I agree that Midol is-''
''Whoa! Uh, I really don't need to know this. I'll see you later sweetheart.'' he kissed Julie's cheek.
Katie and Julie watched him walk away before bursting into laughter.
''Did you see the look on his face!'' Julie exclaimed.
Katie nodded, laughing.
After School, Katie was in her new dorm room. It wasn't that much of an upgrade from last year's. The seniors had the best ones. The door opened and Maddie walked in.
''Hey roomie.''
''Hey Mads. I haven't seen you all day. How was your day?''
''Pretty boring. I had a blast with Dean at lunch.'' she said.
Katie hid her smile. ''That's great.''
''So where's Charlie? I'm surprised you guys can stay away from each other for more then five minutes.''
Katie grinned. ''Hockey practice.''
Maddie scoffed. ''That explains it.''
''I'm in love. Sue me!'' Katie exclaimed.
''Okay, I'll have my people contact yours.'' Maddie said, sticking her tongue out.
''You're so immature.'' Katie said.
Maddie plopped down on her bed. ''Yeah, but you don't know what you'd do without me.''
Katie threw a pillow at her. Maddie laughed in surprise and picked up said pillow, hitting Katie over the head with it. Katie gasped and picked up another pillow, hitting Maddie with it.
Thus began the great pillow fight of sophomore year.
