Here's the second chapter of S.S.E.O.L! Thanks for reading, and a review would make my day! :D Love you all! Happy New Year!

Jake, being lanky and full of purpose, got out to the school parking lot first and had started on the sidewalk home. He still had no idea on what to do about his relationship problems, and Jake had no idea on how to ask for help. He wasn't even sure he wanted help. After all, who was there to help him? Mom? Heck no. Kevin was useless, because Jake knew in his heart of hearts that his best friend really didn't read women's magazines. 'I guess I'm on my own for this one,' Jake thought. He'd broken up with lots of girlfriends in the past, and he had no trouble doing that, uplifting his image as a player. But as for breaking up with Kara, the words just wouldn't come to him.

"I'm breaking up with you, Kara," Jake said, practicing. He didn't notice that his girlfriend had caught up with him, and had been standing at his side. Kara's eyes filled with tears.

"What?" she croaked.

'Crap. She wasn't supposed to hear that. Heck, she's not even supposed to be here. I'm not even sure if I want to break up with her.' Jake felt like kicking himself. 'Well, fix it," a voice inside his head told him.

'With what?'

'I don't know! Your charm, personality and good looks.' Jake could imagine the voice rolling its eyes.

"Kara-" he began.

But it was too late, the blonde had already turned and had run away towards the school, and Jake could see her retreating figure as she re-entered the school parking lot, angrily opening the school's back door, and furiously slammed it behind her.

'Go after her,' the voice commanded. Jake thought it over, and knew he would completely regret it if he didn't, but he just stood there on the sidewalk, dazed. He did want to chase after his now ex-girlfriend, but he had no idea how to do it. So he just sat in the middle of the sidewalk, with his head in his hands. Jake Balmer, for the first time in his life, had rejected a girl and wanted her back.

Kay Lysamen was cruising around the school parking lot on her baby blue roller skates, not at all anxious to start the four mile glide to her house. As she got on the sidewalk, and out of the parking lot, she saw something sitting in the middle of it. It was a boy. He looked fairly similar, so she figured he went to Filmore Dale. Kay had too big of a heart to skate around him, so she stopped and gently said, "Are you alright?"

"What does it look like, Lysamen?"

Jake. 'This should go well,' Kay thought. 'I have to try and comfort someone that hates me.' She glanced at Jake, who was staring at her and was rather surprised at the amount of concern on her face.

"What happened?" Kay asked tentatively, unsure of what answer he would get. How often did she see Jake Balmer, captain of the football team, world-acclaimed pretty boy, the very king of the populars sitting on the sidewalk having an emotional break down?

He glanced at her, and his piercing blue eyes told her everything. Kara. There had been a break-up of some sort.

"Did she dump you?" she asked cautiously, sitting down on the sidewalk next to him.

"Actually, it was vice versa," he found himself replying. 'What am I doing?' Jake thought. 'Telling Lysamen my feelings, this is ridiculous; I never thought I'd stoop that low.' "Why do you care?" Jake asked harshly.

"I don't know," Kay replied, staring at the ground. "I just believe that it's everyone's duty to comfort someone in need. My business is your business. Help to the people. You know?" She looked up at him, sincerity hanging on every word she said.

Jake was uncertain of what to do now. He never expected that answer. I guess when people say Kay's a strange one, they weren't kidding. She was perhaps the weirdest person Jake had ever met, and he could already tell by that one sentence. But he was Jake Balmer, for Pete's sake! He couldn't be getting sympathy from freaks, like Kay. He got off the ground, and said to Kay, "No, I don't know. Just leave me alone, you freak. My business isn't your business." Jake got up and walked towards Filmore Dale, opened the back door, just as his ex-girlfriend had done, and stormed into the school.

How'd you like it? Please review with your thoughts, because I would love to hear them! Hope everyone has an epic 2011! Happy New Year! :D
