Wow. Chapter three is here! Amazing! I never thought that I would get this far! Anyway, this chapter is about half based on (the title song of this fic) 'His Girl Friday'. I based it mostly off the chorus ('Call on a Monday, come on a Tuesday, they'll never know…') (I actually made Damion virtually say the chorus in one paragraph) and I added in the Hoennshipping I was talking about. I also tried to take my time when it came to writing this chapter because the last one was kind of rushed. Beside the point, I hope you like this chapter!
Before I forget – let's thank the reviewers again! So, thanks. And thank you to for favoriting this/ putting it on alert! You guys rock!

…
Oh.
Shit.
'I just kissed Damion!'
'Wait…I JUST KISSED DAMION?!'
Dawn threw herself on her bed. As usual, the high that came with a kiss was slowly dissipating as she realized what she had done. She had just kissed her boyfriend's best friend. Suddenly, she could feel the crash coming. Thoughts began to rush through her head, making her dizzy. She couldn't believe what she had just done.
She. Kissed. Damion.
And it felt good.
It was so wrong, and it felt so right.
…
Very few things count as weird in Damion's eyes. Very few. A select few. Actually, there is only one. And it is not a simple thing like when a guy doesn't say hi to his girlfriend in the hallway. The thing Damion finds weird? Diets. He doesn't get it when people limit them to only a few foods. In his words, food is the best thing in the world; why not eat as much as you can?
So, of course, Damion didn't find it the least bit weird when he kissed Dawn, she pulled back, uttered a few words, and left. No, not the least bit weird. But, what happened in the next hour was the first thing in the world that he considered truly and completely 'weird'. Yes. Damion had finally found something to call weird.
"LUCAS!" He started the conversation before his friend even picked up the phone. It should be noted that Damion lives in a world where the more you call someone's name into a phone receiver, the quicker they will answer.
"Hey Damion, what up?"
"Yo, Lucas. Big news. So, you see, I w-"
"No, me first. Trust me, I have bigger news."
"Fine, dude. But this better be so amazingly awesome that I will literally pass out on the ground and have to-."
"Dude, I get it. And, this news is. I'm going out with Dawn."
Slowly, Damion's jaw went ajar. Now, everything that had just happened made absolutely no sense. It suddenly jumbled up. Was Dawn two-timing him after they had been together for all of a half an hour? He never saw her as the type to do that kind of stuff. They were a few notable examples of people who were able to date to boys at once, and always, the scandal would rock the school in a less than a week.
"So, Damion, what's up with you?"
"Umm…wha? I forgot."
"How typical."
"I'll catch you later, man."
"Ok. See you"
…
The blue-haired girl had hopped onto to her bike and peddled across town. Of course, May's house could not be any farther away than it was, making her deathly tired and sweaty by the time she reached her destination.
Anxiously, Dawn stood at the doorstep of May's house. She planted three very hard knocks across the mahogany wood, making sure she got the 'This is the OMG URGENT kind of URGENT' message across. If there was anyone in the whole world she could rely on in a moment of such emotional turmoil, it was May.
"Hello Dawn. Why, you don't look that good. Is something wrong?" Caroline answered the door, in her, 'I am the perfect housewife' get-up, including a pretty apron, matching oven mitts, and the scent of apple pie wafting out of the house. She had, however, noticed how Dawn looked absolutely horrible.
"I'm fine. Getting ready for cheerleading tryouts are just taking their toll on me." A fake smile splattered across Dawn's porcelain skin, and it was actually good enough to fool Caroline.
As she ushered her daughter's best friend into the house, the brunette continued to be as accommodating as possible, "I've got food down here if you need it"
"Oh, no. Thank you."
"No problem." Caroline ran back to the kitchen while Dawn ran up the stairs. She opened May's door without even knocking, only to find a messy phone cord running across the floor. It wound around her room, ascended to the top of the bed, entangling itself with May's limbs, before it finally reached the actual phone, which rested safely between May's shoulder and head.
"May, I need to talk to you, now!" Dawn pleaded, thinking that May had heard her.
She hadn't.
"Hold on," May talked into the phone, "…It's Dawn, k? Don't worry…" A little giggle escaped her mouth before she placed her hand over the receiver, "What was that?"
"OFF. PHONE. NOW!" Resorting to screeching, Dawn replied and got the message across.
"Fine!" May pouted a bit before telling whoever was on the other end that their conversation was over, "Hmm? Yea, I've got to go…I'm sorry! Please, we'll talk later! Ok, bye Brendan!" Still giggling, May attempted to hang up the phone. Key word: Attempted.
Dawn slapped her forehead, and assisted the brunette in untangling the wire from her body, "Now that's over, could you please help me?"
"Aww, let me talk first, please!"
"Fine. What is it?"
"I'm going out with Brendan!" May squealed with excitement.
"And I am leaving." With that, Dawn began to walk away.
"What's wrong, Dawn?" May trailed behind the navy haired girl by only a few feet.
"I'm in the middle of a love triangle and you're plain and happy with the boy you've been after for three years!"
"Well, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm dating Lucas and Damion!" Dawn was in hysterics now, yelling at May when she did not need to.
"That, my friend, is major." Those words caused May to pull the other into her room, locking the door behind her, "The major kind of major."
"You are making no sense!"
"What I mean is the fact that that may be the biggest thing I've heard in a while now. Besides the sale at the Department Store."
"Focus, May, focus!"
"Sor-ry!" The brunette emphasized the second syllable to make her sentence (or lack thereof) seem more dramatic, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know…Lucas and I started going out, and a half an hour later, I'm kissing Damion!"
"Well, you have two choices. For one, you could explain what happened to the both of them, and choose the one you like the most, or, you could date them both and see how long it could last for."
But, you see, Dawn, being in the delicate mental state that she was, did not pick up how May was kidding when she suggested the latter.
…
Dawn scrambled half way across town, only to find her self slightly shaking as she waited for Damion to answer the door. She was nervous – in all the ways that a single person could be nervous - but kept her cool. Of course, she didn't want Damion to notice that she was lying – no, hold one, withholding the truth, from him.
"Where's Lucas?" Damion asked rather coolly as he stood by his door.
"What do you mean, 'Where's Lucas?'" Slowly but surely, Dawn began to enter complete and utter freak out mode.
"I may have a short attention span, but I am not a total idiot."
"How did you find out?!" Dawn did not want to beat around the bush. Her secret was out; there was no need to hide it. Damion knew.
"Lucas is my best friend, don't you think it would show up in a conversation?"
"I guess it's over now. I can't believe I thought this would work." Feeling stupid, Dawn sighed as she turned to leave. But, a long arm extended out to her and placed their hand on her shoulder.
"It's not over. What makes you think that?"
"Um, I can't date the both of you?"
"Who says you can't?" Damion smiled mischievously as he led her into his house.
…
"You see, he's busy every day but Friday, because of soccer tryouts. You can call me on Mondays, come hang with me on Tuesdays, whatever. He'll never know. But you'll always be his girl Friday. My girl on the weekdays, his girl on Fridays."
It was brilliance. Sheer brilliance. Who knew that someone who was failing most of his classes (including P.E., where he always got called out for yelling too loud in the game) could come up with a plan that could go by without a hitch such as this one? Dawn was truly speechless. All she could do was nod her head slowly.
"It's genius, I tell you! Pure genius! MWAHAHA!" Damion began to laugh manically.
"It is - but, what if someone catches on?" Dawn's voice box finally started to work once more, and, with the ability to speak recovered, flood of worries washed over her.
"How could they catch on? We've been best friends forever, everyone will think it's just us hanging out as best friends, not anything more."
"I guess…I guess…it may work. We can't do this for too long, though. It feels bad on the inside, you know?"
"I know. We'll keep it our together-ness a secret until you find a way to break it to Lucas that we're together."
'But what if I don't want to break it to him?'
…
"Ay! Brendan!" May sprinted across the school yard to catch up with her boyfriend. Personally, she thought he looked like a god, standing there, the sun shining directly on him like a spotlight. He turned away from Volkner and Brawly to wave at her, causing a surge of happiness to wash over the brunette.
"May! What's up?" They ran up to each other, meeting at a sort of half way point.
"Oh, nothing much. What about you?"
"Well, nothing I guess. Do you now what today is?"
"The…uh…19th? Yea, the 19th."
"Yea…it's the 19th…which is also our one week anniversary."
"One week, huh? I can't believe it!"
"Yea, me too. So, I, uh, got you a gift. It's kind of premature…especially after only one week…but, I, um, sort of, thought it would be nice to give them to you now." Brendan smiled sheepishly as he placed his arm behind his head in an act of embarrassment.
"Really? What? You didn't have to! I feel bad now, I didn't get you a gift…"
"Trust me, it was no problem. Close your eyes." May squeezed her eyes shut as she giggled (damn, I make this girl giggle a lot) from excitement, "Put your hand forward." Her hand shot out from her side, and he placed four pieces of paper on her fingers, "You can look now."
Quickly, May's eyes shot open and at the four small tickets that lay in her hands, "Oh my Arcues! Cobra Starship tickets! Brendan, thank you so much! I love you!" She flung her arms around his neck.
"It was no problem, really. I bought two extras; you could give one to Dawn and whoever she wants to take. Or we could take Flint and Volkner and see to what lengths Flint would go to meet Vicky-T." They both began to laugh at the thought of the boy with the red afro trying to climb on to the stage in order to look at the keytar player.
"That would be so funny! But Dawn has to come, she loves these guys more than life itself. I'll totally give her one. I just can't thank you enough – you are the best boyfriend any girl could ever want." May, smiling brightly, stepped up on her tip-toes and pecked Brendan on the cheek. They both blushed, as they shyly turned their heads away, trying to tune out the ridiculous comments that were coming out of come of their fellow peer's mouths.
"Ooh! Somebody's getting serious!" Flint called from a few feet away as he and Cynthia walked up to Volkner, much to girl's displeasure.
"Shut up Flint." Cynthia said, calmly, "They're cute together; you don't need to harass them."
"But, c'mon, it's kind of funny." Volkner added, his emotionless face slightly smiling.
"How is it funny?" Cynthia snapped.
"I don't know – it just is." Suddenly, the on looking boys burst into laughter.
"I swear I've never seen these guys before." Quietly, Cynthia slipped away from the two who were making fools of themselves.
…
Math class was usually boring. Ok, it was always boring. At least for Dawn. Except for today. And it was only because of the location of her desk.
You see, next to her, Lucas sat. He was gazing admirably at his girlfriend. And that made Dawn's heart skip a beat. They were right next to each other – he was to her left, pretending to pay attention as he scribbled down a note and slid it onto her desk.
I have soccer tryouts today. She laughed inside her head as she read the neat handwriting that stated the very obvious.
I know. Discretely, Dawn sent the scrap of paper back to him.
Just telling you. Do you want to stay and watch?
Panicking, Dawn tried to think of an excellent excuse for why she could not stay and watch him race across a field, looking amazingly hot in his gym clothes. She had to think of an excuse for not going to watch soccer tryouts with someone that made her want to faint.
But she had to.
Sorry, my mom wants me to come home right after school until cheerleading starts.
That's ridiculous, cheerleading doesn't start for two months, right?
Can't change what's been set in stone, I guess.
Ok. I wish I could walk you home though.
Don't worry. Damion's going to walk me home. He lives a few houses down, remember?
I know. But don't fall in love with him while I'm not there. Just kidding.
And as far as Lucas knew, he was. But for Dawn, it was ever so awkward to respond to that sentence. She glanced to her right where, two seats over, Damion was sleeping on his desk. It was hard to believe that someone who was always in a rush would actually have the ability to sleep. But, he did.
The bell suddenly jerked Dawn out of her stare-fest, as it also caused Damion to awake and wave goofily at her. He rushed over, and whispered something in Dawn's ear, "I'll walk you home from school today." With a wink, he ran off into the distance.
After the blonde left, she turned to Lucas and said a quick response:
"As if."
…
OH SNAP! Is Dawn in love with Lucas more than Damion? Who knows (I don't)? I hoped you guys liked this chapter. Now, ya'll may be wondering about the Cobra Starship tickets. There is this song called 'After The Last Midtown Show'. Midtown is disbanded, but the lead singer (Gabe) is in a band called Cobra Starship (which is awesome, Btw). Well, that was just a little easter egg I planted in here. So, anyway, I hoped this chapter was better than the last one, and I threw in that Hoennshipping I was talking about. I know it was super fluffy, but I think we all needed a break from two-timing, mentally distressed Dawn. You'll be getting plenty of that in the next few chapters. Haha. If you think the part with Dawn and Lucas was rushed, it was supposed to be that way. I guess I was trying to portray how quickly stuff can escalate from a simple note into a whole…event? I don't know, but it was supposed to be rushed, N-Eway, If you have any comments, constructive criticisms, or plain old random thoughts, drop me a review. Other than that, see you all later!
