A/N: Hey guys! I know you could blame for updating so late, but I had writers block which the worst thing that an author could get. Am I right? AU which means that the KND doesn't exist in this story!

Review replies:

Divachick86: I'm glad that Rachel/Nigel is your second favorite couple. I'm glad you spotted Emily and of course she's yours forever!

KNDnumber170: Thank you for saying that! I think I'm going to do another chapter like that. One for every three chapters, I think. Depends on how long I won't the story. Yes, 86/60 ftw! :)

BlueNumbuh4: Yay indeed...

Disclaimer: I don't own KND, no matter how many times I sue. But I do own Caitlyn and if you got a problem with that, you can take it up with my military brother!

~A New Trust~

Patton walked into the classroom by himself that morning. His mother sometimes gave him rides to school. He would often complained, saying he was capable of walking or driving to school, but it fell on deaf ears.

It's been a few days since he hanged out with Fanny and Caitlyn's old friends with themselves. They were interesting and fun to hang out with. The girls that hanged out with them were different from the girl who lead them and the boys weren't so bad. He wondered if they could pick up his feelings for Fanny through his body langauge.

As he walked into the classroom, Patton noticed that Fanny and Caitlyn weren't here yet, the same for Kandy and Chad. He noticed the rest of the girls in their cheer uniforms and boys that he hanged out with were here so he waved at them. Some of them waved back and others smiled at him. He walked back to his desk and took out his notebook to study if they had a pop quiz.

"Hello, Patton," a familiar voice purred.

Patton's face expression turned to a glare as he ignored the person, but simply replied...well more like snarled.

"Hi, Kandy."

Kandy's face turned into a frustrated expression before putting back on a seductive face. She then sat on the table beside his body. She leaned in over seductively over his shoulder, letting out suggestive breaths down his neck.

"Why did you reject my offer on the first day, Patton?" She cooed his name. "No one has ever rejected me or my offers. Well, except that girl, Caitlyn." She hissed the name of the one that defied her. "Don't give me that 'I don't follow the crowd' bull."

Everyone in the classroom had froze as the most popular girl confronted the new guy. The people who were gaping at this display were the girls in Kandy's group and their old guy friends. Rachel kept looking back at the door, hoping Kandy's enemies or her boyfriend walked in.

Kandy placed her hand in Patton's black locks and massaged his scalp. This deepened Patton's glare and concentration on his notes, but Kandy had a seductive smirk on her face.

"Do you like this, Patton?" She purred his name like a calm and cool cat. "If you want, I can do so much mo-"

She was interrupted when Patton grabbed her wrist and abruptly stood up, glaring at her.

"What kind of boy you take me for?!" he demanded, yanking her wrist away from him. "I will never join you, Kandy! You want to know why?"

A pause and she didn't respond. However, she looked at him and blinked, shocked at his outburst.

"Because I don't hang out with anyone who picks on one person and thinks that's okay! It's not!"

His anger flared up a bit more, but he refused to let his father's military anger out.

"What did Fanny ever do to you that caused you to treat her like you do?! What is it?!"

Kandy recovered and when she did, she glared and looked at him in the eyes.

"Fanny knows what she did," she growled/snarled at him. "It's something that made her deserve the way I've treated her."

"What's going on here?" a familiar voice asked, angrily.

The class to see Caitlyn and Fanny in the classroom, glaring at the scene before them.

Fanny, the one who asked the question, wore a sleeve-less green knee-length dress with a mini white jacket wrapped around her shoulders.

Caitlyn, who was behind Fanny a few inches with her arms crossed, wore a black tank top with a red plaid skirt that stopped a few inches above her knee.

Fanny rarely got mad, Caitlyn noted, but she guessed Fanny had a reason. Her new best friend and worst enemy had a couple of inches distance put between their faces.

Kandy immediately back away from Patton, glaring still and walked near her table.

"Where's Chad?" Caitlyn asked nonchalantly.

Kandy stopped glaring to smirk at her. "He's sick. Called me this morning."

"Then how come I'm right here?" Chad asked, walking into the classroom with a glare on his face. He stopped beside Caitlyn, who had a confused look on her face.

Caitlyn noticed that he had bags under his eyes and his eyes were slightly bloodshot, signs indicating that he was tired and not getting enough sleep. She was worried about him, and she's knows she shouldn't, but she is.

Kandy's smirking face turned to one of shock and fright, knowing that Chad was mad. Then, her expression turned into a glare, particularly at the three people in front of her.

"Well, that's what I assumed," Kandy snapped, answering Chad's question, "since you didn't meet me at the front of the school! I looked like a complete loser, waiting for you!"

"I overslept and my alarm didn't go off!" Chad retorted back, angry with his girlfriend. "I was having trouble sleeping, like I have been for the past few days!"

Caitlyn winced a bit, but no one noticed it. She was right, Chad was not getting enough sleep. She made a mental note on helping with him later.

"Not my fault!" Kandy snapped once more.

Chad threw his hands in surrender, backing up towards the door. "Whatever. C'mon, Caitlyn." He turned on his heel towards the door. "We're not going to be late for our class over this nonsense."

Kandy and everyone else looked expectedly towards Caitlyn, who looked back at Chad. Chad stopped in his tracks in the doorway when he didn't near footsteps behind him. He turned and faced Caitlyn, who looked curiously at him. Chad jerked his head towards the direction of their first class in silence. Caitlyn shrugged and walked towards the doorway, following him.

Kandy grew furious. "So you're telling another girl what to do in front of your own girlfriend? How unfaithful of you, Chad."

Chad waved her off as he and Caitlyn exited the classroom. "Think what you want, Kandy!"

Kandy growled angrily and walked to her seat in frustration. Fanny stomped over to her desk and sat down, still with a glare on her face. Patton was in the same state.

The entire class blinked, wondered what just happened.

~A New Trust~

When Chad and Caitlyn left the classroom, the two walked in awkward silence towards their first class.

Chad was fine on the outside, but on the inside he was freaking out. It was hard enough being in the same room as Caitlyn, but walking side by side was driving him insane. The reason why he wasn't sleeping was because he would have dreams of him being with her and just...her. He wasn't supposed to be having dreams of her, someone who wasn't his girlfriend, but yet he does. There are dreams where he liked up to a point, and there were dreams where he didn't like which was partly not true.

Caitlyn, too though she didn't know it, was getting dreams about her and Chad. She would always didn't wake up even if the dreams got too intense for her. Some dreams she liked and some she didn't. But she wasn't thinking about that now, she was actually thinking of way to help Chad. Just like a big gust of wind, an idea hit her.

"Hey, Chad," Caitlyn started, "how about after football practice, you come over my house?"

Chad blinked as he looked at her. "But we don't have any projects or homework from classes."

"Chad!" Caitlyn slapped his shoulder playfully. "Don't jinx it!" She laughed at him.

Chad, himself, let out a few chuckles. "Well, I think I did."

Caitlyn laughed even harder which made Chad smiled. Her laughed sounded bubbly and it was one of the greatest sounds he ever heard.

"Okay, I'll come over." Chad answered her first question.

Caitlyn stopped laughing and smiled at him.

"Alright."

~A New Trust~

A knock on her bedroom door turned her attention from her music player. She got up from her bed, wearing a simple red tank top and black jean shorts that were short but not too short. Caitlyn opened it to find Chad, with his hair a bit wet and in a white beater shirt light blue jean shorts.

To be honest, she thought that Chad wouldn't come, but here he was. She acted like she expected him, even though his very tone chest were visible through his shirt and making her blush.

"Hey, Chad," Caitlyn greeted with a friendly smile. "I see you took a shower after football practice."

"Yeah," Chad replied, chuckling, "Football players always shower after practice. Are you going to invite me in?"

Caitlyn nodded, moving aside to allow him in. Chad walked in all casual and walked over to her queen-size bed. Caitlyn cast him a confused before closing her door and sat beside him on the bed. The two sat in awkward silence until Chad broke it.

"So why did you invite me here?" Chad asked, reaching to rub the back of his neck.

"I've noticed that you're trouble sleeping," Caitlyn replied, "so I thought..." She paused when she noticed Chad massaging his own shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Chad groaned as he found the knot in his shoulder. "We've been training so hard in football practices and these knots are driving me nuts!"

Caitlyn frowned as he continued to massage his shoulders and groaning in she got an idea and smiled, but the idea made her cheeks turn pink.

"Chad, turn your back towards me," Caitlyn instructed.

Chad looked at her, appalled, and blinked. "What? Why?"

"Just trust me."

Chad looked into her eyes and saw a look of concern and helpfulness. He sighed and turned around, bringing his legs on the bed, crossing them in a Native American style. He placed his hands in his lap, waiting for her to do something.

Caitlyn smiled when he turned his back to her. She, herself, propped her legs under her and straightened her back, making her taller than him sitting down.

Chad flinched when he felt two hands on both of his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and stared at her, baffled.

"What are you doing?"

Caitlyn rolled his eyes and glared at him, placing her hands on her hips. "Just relax and let me do what I'm doing!" She grasped his shoulders again, but this time, roughly.

Chad opened his mouth to retort, but closed it when she started to massage his shoulders. He closed his eyes in pleasure when he realized that her massaging felt good. Real good. He started to moan loudly which made her smirk.

"You do have a bunch of knots," Caitlyn commented, "but if you get a massage from someone with a good grip, they will be gone."

Caitlyn noticed that his back looked tone like his front did. She moved her hands up and down his back, doing her best to get rid of the knots. While she did, Chad's moans were getting louder. Thank goodness, her parents were having a very important business dinner or else, they would get other ideas than massaging.

"Caitlyn!" Chad exclaimed, followed by a moan. "Where did you learn to do that?"

Caitlyn shrugged, "I don't know. I always was able to do this, but I had no one to actually experiment on."

Chad moaned even more and Caitlyn smirked. The knots would begin to untangle in his back. She started to massage even harder, causing Chad's moans to grow in volume. Finally, the knots were gone and Caitlyn removed her hands from Chad's back as he breathed his relief from his free massage.

"Thank you," Chad sighed, turning in his seat to face her.

"No problem," Caitlyn shrugged.

"Why did you invite me here?" Chad asked, recovering from his partner's massage.

"Because I thought I could help you sleep," Caitlyn replied, looking at his face and crossing her legs. "Since you're having trouble sleeping."

Chad was shocked, but he didn't show it. The reason why he wasn't getting enough sleep was because of her. The dreams of her and everything about her.

"Why do you care?" Chad crossed his arms, examining her.

Caitlyn thought about the question. Should she care? Well, he was her partner and then there are the dreams she had of him.

"I just do, alright!" Caitlyn replied. "With that massage I give you, you should have no problem sleeping."

Chad blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"The knots obviously kept you up," Caitlyn responded, gesturing to his back. "which kept you up with no sleep."

Chad blinked once again. That wasn't why he had trouble sleeping, but she didn't have to know that.

Chad smirked. "Right because that's why I'm not getting enough sleeping."

"How about we get to a bed for a nap?" Caitlyn suggested, getting up from her bed.

"You're right," Chad smiled, getting up off her bed.

Chad lifted up the covers off her bed and crawled in. Caitlyn turned to see her partner, snuggling in her covers.

"That's not what I meant!" Caitlyn exclaimed, glaring. "We have guest rooms, you know!"

Chad shrugged, "Don't care."

Chad snuggled into one of the pillows, putting his hands underneath his head. He smirked as he saw Caitlyn stomped over him.

"Get out of my bed!" Caitlyn growled lowly.

Chad smirked mischievously. "Or..."

Chad gripped her waist and lifted her, which made her eyes widened and a squeak left her mouth. He sat up and threw her onto the bed. Caitlyn looked at him with wide eyes and Chad looked at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"I bet you're ticklish," Chad teased.

Caitlyn glared. "You wouldn't dare."

Chad smirked even more when he saw her glaring eyes with fright in them. He gently ran his fingers against her waist in a ticklish manner, causing her to burst out laughing.

"Chad! Please stop! Ha ha!" Caitlyn breathed in between laughs, squirming to get out of his grip but to no avail.

Caitlyn was laughing so hard that Chad couldn't help but to laugh himself. He moved his hands up and down, still tickling her. A few more minutes passed and the two were exhausted from laughing too hard. Both were now panting side by side. Chad was so tired that he fell asleep while panting. Not long after, Caitlyn covered both of them and fell asleep also.

~A New Trust~

Fanny and Patton were in his room, working on some homework.

Today, they didn't have a good day. They were angry so much that they didn't talk to anyone, including Caitlyn. Thankfully, she had her music player to entertain her during lunch. High tension stayed raised on the way home, but Fanny was able to tell Caitlyn to drop her and Patton off at his house.

Patton still couldn't get over what Kandy had said. What did Fanny do that made Kandy hate her? Fanny is nice when you get on her friendly side. That's one of the things he loved about her. Yes, love because he wasn't denying his love for Fanny anymore. If he did, his dreams would knock some into him.

Fanny still couldn't get over the fact that Patton and Kandy's face were close enough that they could have kissed. Would have Patton let her kiss him? Fanny didn't know it. She loved the boy that she have befriended and she didn't want him to hang out with the girl who love to torture her.

"Hey Fanny?" Patton's voice broke out of her thoughts.

"Yes, Patton," Fanny replied, turning towards him.

"Did something happened between you and Kandy that made her hate you?" Patton tried to word it where the question itself wasn't so horrible than it already was.

"No," Fanny replied, trying to blink back tears. "I don't know what I did to get treated the way I do by her. I know Caitlyn took it hard when Kandy took away Rachel and them, but," tears now streamed down her face, "but they were taken away because Kandy wanted them to."

Fanny sobbed after choking that last part. She cursed herself for crying in front of a boy, especially the boy she loved. Patton, feeling bad about being a touchy subject, put his homework aside and wrapped his arms around her trembling body. Fanny moved her stuff away and placed her arms around him, crying into his chest. Patton rubbed his hands up and down her back in a comforting manner, muttering,

"Shh...it's okay. Let it out. Don't hold back."

"You see," Fanny choked, "I'm not the only one who cries over our friends leaving. Caitlyn does too, but she doesn't do it in front of anyone other than her parents and friends. She's a strong girl but if she hears the wrong thing from someone, she either breaks down or get mad and defensive. Mostly mad and defensive than crying."

"Shh..." Patton muttered, still rubbing her back.

The two stayed like this until Fanny calm down a bit, but she didn't move from Patton's embrace. He didn't release her either, but he did promise himself that he would protect Fanny from any kind of danger. Both knew that they had a new trust within each other as they continued to stay in an embrace.

~A New Trust~

Chad woke up from his slumber to find that he wasn't in his room. He glanced around to see that the room he slept in looked familiar to him. Then he remembered the last things before he fell asleep.

Caitlyn's house...her massage...his ticklish attack on her...falling alseep...

Chad tried to move but found that something laid on his chest. He looked and saw Caitlyn's head sleeping peacefully on his chest. Somewhere in their slumber, Chad's arms had snaked around Caitlyn and hers around his chest, resting her head on the tone body part of his.

"Caitlyn," Chad whispered, shaking her so she could wake up.

Caitlyn didn't wake up, but she stirred, muttering, "Five more minutes, dad."

Chad noted that her sleeping form made her look beautiful and innocent.

"Caitlyn," Chad repeated a little louder, but not too much.

Caitlyn squirmed a bit, "I say five minutes..."

Chad shook her more roughly but gently and that woke her up.

Caitlyn blinked, taking in her surroundings.

"Chad, what are you doing here?" Caitlyn asked, before looking at their embrace. "How did this happen?" Her eyes wide at the sight.

"We fell asleep in your bedroom," Chad explained, "You wanted to help me with my sleeping problem."

"Oh yeah," Caitlyn chuckled at her embarrassment.

Caitlyn looked at him with her brown eyes as Chad stared at her. Then Chad looked at her lips with great interest, forgetting about his girlfriend. Without warning, he started to lean in and she noticed it too. Unconsciously, she started to lean in too. Their lips were about to touch when...

~I'm your girlfriend and you need to respect me. I'm your girlfriend and I need you close to me.~

Chad answered his phone before the next part of the chorus start. It was Kandy, Chad's girlfriend. Chad got out of Caitlyn's bed to pace around her room, talking to his girlfriend.

"Hey...I know...I'm sorry I didn't call you...Alright...bye."

Caitlyn cursed herself for almost kissing a taken guy. Even he was Kandy's boyfriend, no girl deserves to be cheated on, not even mean girls.

Chad couldn't believe he almost kissed her. He always wondered what kissing Caitlyn would be like in his dreams, unbelievable and with love.

Chad faced Caitlyn, who was looking at him with searching eyes.

"That was Kandy," Chad explained, "She called me because I didn't call her after practice and she's mad at me."

Chad looked out of the window and noticed that it started to get dark outside.

"I should go," Chad pointed out. "My parents must be worried."

Caitlyn nodded and stood up, heading out of her room with Chad on her tail. They both walked to the front door in silence. As Chad was about to head out the door, he turned to Caitlyn.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Same here." Caitlyn smiled, but it was fake.

With that, Chad went out the door and left Caitlyn in empty house. Caitlyn heard his car start-up and drove off. She then let out a scream of frustration and covered her face afterwards. Caitlyn sat down on one of the couches in the room, her head still in her hands. She couldn't help but wipe away the tears that came down her face.

~A New Trust~

When Chad knew he was out of sight of her house, he pulled over to the side of the road. He let a groan of frustration and slammed his head on the wheel. He retreated from the driver's wheel and threw his head back.

He wished that Kandy hadn't called and he should have just kissed her, or he wished that Kandy wasn't his girlfriend.

Man, when did life get so complicated?

And done!

A/N:

-Again, sorry about the late update! I had writers block!

-The whole Kandy/Patton scene was an idea evolved from Divachick86's idea. Thanks so much for that, my friend!

-At first, I was iffy about adding the whole massage Chad/Caitlyn scene, but I'm glad I added that. Oh, so much Chad/Caitlyn moments in this chapter!

-I added the Fanny/Patton scene because I needed some moments for the main couple of the story!

-Oooh, Chad and Caitlyn almost kissed, but Kandy had to call right before that could happen! She had to do it, didn't she?

-There was something else. Oh, Divachick86 is going to publish a story called Operation Revenge, I think. How do I know that? you ask. Because we wrote it together! Yay! It involves both of our favorite couples, a bunch of OCs, and a new villain. Make sure you check it out!

-Thanks for your reviews and your patience on this story!

One more thing, please review...

Luv, Flutejrp
