Penelope's wide blue eyes stared at her grinning friend, watching as she burped the baby she and Aaron had been given for their project the week prior. "You did not," she breathed, knowing that her friend wouldn't do what she said she had without calling her straight after.

"Yup," Emily laughed, peeking down to make sure the doll didn't throw up on the washcloth she had taken from her home. "At about one in the morning."

"You kissed him?"

The brunette girl pursed her lips, slowly giving a shake of her head. "I think he kissed me first," she mused.

Penelope reached over the table and pushed her shoulder. "You and the most gorgeous boy in our school, other than the fabulous Derek Morgan, kissed and I didn't even know about it? Why didn't you call me?"

Emily laughed at the look on her friend's face, and she changed the position of her now cooing baby to be cradled against her chest without noticing Michael's father walking up behind her. "It was in the middle of the night, Pen."

"So?"

Aaron sat himself down beside the brunette girl he was falling for and shared a smile. "Is she wondering why we kissed and didn't tell her?"

"She is, actually," the fifteen year old giggled, letting him take her hand underneath the table. She didn't know what they were right now, boyfriend and girlfriend or just fooling around, but she wasn't ready to question it.

Penelope's hair flew as she shook her head, glancing to the boy who sat himself next to her on the bench before glaring at the brunette across from her. "I just don't get it."

"It was late, you would have been mad at me for waking you up."

"Untrue!" the blond screeched.

Emily watched as the younger girl stood from their lunch table and quickly walked off, her colorful dress swaying behind her. "Where are you going?"

Derek held up a hand, standing up to follow the girl he had had a crush on since the first grade. "I've got her, don't worry."

"Dramatic," the fifteen year old snorted, letting the boy beside her take the baby from her arms and setting him against his chest. "So how was Psych?" she questioned, loving the smile he was sending her.

Aaron squeezed her hand underneath the table. "Just fine. How was gym?"

The brown eyed girl scoffed at the question, gesturing to the baby her friend held against his chest, right where his heart stay beating. "With him crying every minute?" she smirked. "Let's just say Coach Reni wants to kill our health teacher."

Taking a chance after glancing into those enchanting midnight eyes, Aaron bent down to steal a kiss from her pink lips. "Hi," came the whispered word, a grin on Aaron's lips.

"Hi," she giggled. "So did you enjoy our teaching today in health class?"

"Oh yeah. Discussing your past partners with your new boyfriend or girlfriend before 'getting it on'?" Aaron rolled his eyes. "Why even teach us that? She thinks we don't know that that's the first thing on our list?"

Emily felt herself grinning at the sarcasm that came from the older boy. "Exactly, that's the first thing I think of."

He watched as she took a bite from the hamburger she had gotten from the cafeteria, and his hand somewhat tightened around hers as his curiosity got the best of him. "So what about you?"

"What about me?" she frowned.

The football player looked to the baby in his arms as he shrugged, not wanting to make it such a big deal. "Anyone before me?"

Emily's brows shot up. "Before you? We haven't had sex, Aaron."

"No no, I know that. I was just wondering."

Feeling herself grow nervous under the older boy's gaze, Emily gave a shrug and moved her eyes from his to Michael. "No," she lied quietly, going back to take another bite of her burger. "No one else."

From her seat only a few feet away, the scorned ex of the star quarterback smiled when she heard the lie fly from Emily's lips. She would make sure that Aaron knew the truth, and all she had to do was find out who the boy was that Emily had lost it to.
