Author's Note: I CAN'T STOP!! OK, in reality I wanted to get the ball rolling on this as much as possible since I'm starting work tomorrow...I'm going to be interning at a pretty famous department store in NYC, you know that one that sponsors the big parade, and I'm going to have a lot less free time...so by having a clear idea of what I want to do, well, limited writing time will not be as much of a liability.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 4

Still no word on homecoming for me. Oh well, worst case scenario I'll show up stag and looking fabulous. Speaking of fabulous, let's check in on everyone.

Apparently the Captain has yet to deflower, although he hasn't been sleeping in his room. I guess partying skate girls who transfer in at the last minute get singles even though they aren't seniors. Don't you just hate when that happens?

Another stilled flowered, although slightly less active Duck, the Cat seems to be avoiding the bf. Someone's in denial! You're just going to push him into the arms of some waiting senior who's maybe a little less uptight about uncrossing her legs.

Remember our old friend, the tall blond overly focused one? Yeah, super cute and everything but not doing much? Anyway, turns out he spent the summer, well here. He got his head stuck in hockey and out of the books and barely pulled that oh so necessary C average. Oops!

Questions and Comments

QC: Still looking for a homecoming date?

A: Yeah, are you cute?

QC: I'm friends with a girl who's friends with the Captain's ex girlfriend's sister and she said that they broke up because he cheated on her with both of the girls on the Ducks.

A: Cat's a virgin and Girl half only has eyes for boy half. I don't know the reason for the breakup, but I know it's not that.

"Adam focus!" Annie Bryant sighed. She'd gotten assigned to tutor him. No one wanted to touch that case. Every one knew that Coach Orion was completely crazy about The Ducks keeping B averages. The only reason Adam had even passed was because of hockey. "Look, you just need to balance the equation." Adam sighed and stared at his geometry homework, then his eyes drifted outside where his friends were all out rollerblading. That's what he wanted to be doing.

"Hey Annie," He said, "What if we study outside today? It's so nice."

"You're like a two year old." She shook her head, "You bring back some A's maybe we can study outside, but don't count on it."

"You're so strict," He groaned. She laughed. "Please can we break for food?"

"I will make you a deal," She said, "You finish the geometry and we will walk to Mickey's and get dinner."

"You rule!" He smiled. She nodded.

"Work!" She said tapping on his notebook. Good on the college apps, that was what she had to remember about the whole peer tutoring thing. It also didn't hurt that Adam was really really cute!

"Um hey," Julie said knocking on Tammy's doorframe, Tammy nodded her in and started to blow on her newly polished nails. "I brought your Latin homework, you missed class, I mean, excused absence for practice right?"

"Yeah," Tammy nodded, "Thanks." Julie shrugged and headed out the door, "Wait, sit, stay, chat." Julie nodded and sat down. "I feel like we don't know each other at all." Probably because you don't know each other at all. Julie sighed, she had nothing to say to this girl. "Charlie said you're going out with a senior?"

"That's sort of up in that air right now," Julie said, "Is it true that you got kicked out of that program in Switzerland?"

"No, my parents pulled me," She sighed, "I miss it. Although here's not so bad either, a few more rules but still no parents." In reality the only thing that had happened was that she'd skipped a few practices and her parents said they weren't going to let her live on her own in Europe if she wasn't taking things seriously. So Eden Hall it was.

"Do you mind if I'm straight with you about something?" Julie said, finally getting over Tammy's whole glamorous, can't touch this vibe. Tammy shrugged. "What are you doing with Charlie?"

"We're just having fun," Tammy shrugged, "He's so cute, you know he's a virgin? Totally adorable!"

"Aren't you?" Julie swallowed. The only people she actually knew, at least their age, who had sex were Connie and Guy, and well, Luis had, with that cheerleader he dated last year. Tammy laughed, she most certainly was not. The reason she missed those practices were because she'd taken off to a ski chalet for a week with a nineteen year old pro snowboarder who she was in love with that day. Well, she was always in love with Fulton, she always had been, but there were other boys who she temporarily fell in love with other people. This week she was in love with Charlie. She knew it wouldn't last long. "What's it like?"

"Hasn't Connie talked about it?" Tammy said confused.

"I mean she has," Julie sighed, "But she always so warm and fuzzy about it."

"Mm, she would be," Tammy laughed, "It's fun, a little scary," She smiled, hugging her knees to herself, just talking about it made her want Charlie. She'd already decided that it was happening tonight. "So you haven't?" Julie shook her head. "Why not?"

"Well, I," She sighed, "I want to, but I just, I don't think I want it to be him."

"You're so," Connie giggled as Guy kissed her neck as they spooned after, she searched for the right, non vulgar word, "Healthy lately." He smiled, he'd just learned to mellow out. When he was stoned he could forget that she wanted everything just right and focus on her body, which was, for lack of a better word perfect. He could also forget that she was spending so much time with Luis, which was sort of his own fault.

"I just stopped worrying," He smiled, "And let myself love you." Connie giggled. He never used to say crap like that. She thought it was sweet and romantic. Really he was just trying too hard so that she wouldn't know what was really behind his recent um, boost.

"Keep them," Gabby laughed, pushing Scooter's hand away. Her underwear was balled up in it. He sighed, "I'll get them next time," She stepped close and kissed him.

"There can't be a next time," He shook his head. "Gabby, I've got a girlfriend."

"You've got a sophomore who won't do half of what I'll do for you," She whispered.

"Well it's more than half," He mumbled, they'd fooled around a lot, they just hadn't had sex. She kissed him. "Gabby, come on."

"I'll see you tonight," She said and walked away her long light blonde hair swishing behind her. He smiled and shook his head. Well, he and Julie had had a huge fight, maybe they were done.

Spotted:

Cute blond center and pretty little tutor heading back towards campus eating ice cream cones. Both so preppy, it's really lovely. Maybe they'll have little babies that pop out in Lacoste shirts.

Two blondes skipping down to dinner together arm in arm. Cute, they're friends now or something. Poor Bashes will probably die seeing them together. Or have fantasies. Aren't girls the ones who are supposed to dream about double dates?

Speedster getting stood up at dinner. Perfect couple's happy again sweetie, time to move on. Drop me a line when you're ready ;-)
