11:00 AM---Ned Bigby Household

Ned was pretty bored. He was stuck in his house, suspended from school, and his mom made sure he was up the usual time he would have been if he had school. "I at least thought I could have slept in" grumbled Ned "I never thought I would actually want to be in school"

Ned paced around his room; all he could do was think.

"I definitely didn't mean to hit Martin, I never would hit anyone" Ned said aloud "But maybe my comments to Suzie were a bit harsh."

Ned began to think of what his friends think. "They all probably think I'm a freak now" he thought "Who would get so worked up over ?"

"I need to get some more sleep"

1:00 PM---James K Polk High School

Moze shifted around in her seat, she didn't know why, but she had some jitters. Cookie caught sight of this and threw a note to Moze.

"What are you doing?"

Moze threw one back, "I don't know, I just feel jittery" and so they went passing notes

"Oh, that is rather unusual"

"Tell me about, I've been feeling weird all day"

"Any particular reason? A certain someone perhaps?"

"I guess, I'm just kind of missing Ned" Moze looked over to the empty desk beside her and frowned

"The feelings never did really go away, did they?"

The bell rang, but Moze handed Cookie one more note "It's complicated"

Moze headed toward the one period of the day that she could be alone: study

She sat down at an empty desk and just started to think, it's been awhile since she had done this.

"I wish I knew what I thought of Ned. This is stupid, I know what I think, but at the same time, I just feel lost" Moze thought "I'm excellent at school, yet love is something I just can't get a handle of. None of the guys I have been with have felt right."

"I need to talk to someone about this, but who?" she pondered "Why can't there be a class for things like this?"

Moze put her head down on her desk and took a nap

2:00 PM----Ned Bigby Household

As Ned lay in a trance of half-sleep, half-awake, he heard a knock on his door. "Haven't you bothered me enough mom" Ned said.

"I hope I'm not your mom" the voice said as Ned's older brother Eric stepped in to the room. Eric was able to get out an hour early due to built up study periods over his four years at high school. Similar in appearance to Ned with only slight differences. Eric was taller, had a greenish tint to his eyes, and had slightly longer shaggy hair.

"Oh hey Eric" Ned said "I suppose you know why I'm home"

"Of course! It's all over the school, everyone knows by now"

"I didn't really want it to be that way though"

"Why not? You gained a lot of respect for standing up for yourself; not doing anything would just get you pushed around by upperclassman"

"Really?"

"Definitely. Let's go grab some food before mom gets home, we will hit up BK"

"Alright, sounds good to me"

And off the two went.

5:00 PM Mozely Household

Moze once again found herself up in her room, reading. There wasn't a whole lot to do on a Thursday night. But, try as she might, she had trouble focusing on reading.

"I wish I knew what to do about Ned" There had been no interaction of a romantic type since 8th grade, but there were still unresolved issues.

"The only people I can trust to be able to help me are Cookie and Lisa though"

Just then however, she caught glance of Eric Bigby leaving with girlfriend Mary Fasano. Moze has always been friends with the two, maybe she can get some info from them.

Later that night

Moze decided to send a text out to Eric, just to see

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I was sleeping, but now I'm awake…..why?"

"I need to ask you a really big favor"

"Sure, why not"

"Can you find out how Ned sees me?"

"………huh?"

"Like what he thinks of me, does he like me in any way besides a friend"

"And why would you want to know?"

"Um, uh, just curious"

"Yea sure…..i'll ask anyway though"

"Thanks so much, when will you ask?"

"Idk, when I'm not sleeping perhaps"

Moze closed her phone and laid down on her bed. "I really hope this works" she said "Hopefully Eric doesn't blow my cover"

Moze thought about texting either Cookie or Lisa, but figured she will just talk to them tomorrow.

"I mean, he is already suspended" she said with a chuckle as she looked out the window into Ned's room.

11:00 PM Ned's Room

"I don't know if I can take another day of this, this, solitary confinement" Ned said to himself "and now I'm talking to myself, just great"

The only good thing to come out of hitting Martin was the fact that he did stand up for himself, something that Ned was going to keep on doing.

"If I keep standing up for myself, then maybe the upperclassman will stop throwing things at me" Ned said cheerfully "But, unfortunately, Loomer won't"

"The more things change, the more they remain the same"

That one thought was running through both Moze and Ned's minds, but for totally different reasons

End

Notes: To clarify: The episodes leading up to the field trip all happened, but the events of the field trip episode did not. Ned was with Suzie and Simon and Lisa also got together. There was no Noze action going on.

Next Chapter: Nothing But A Good Time pt. 1

The weekend has arrived and Ned is allowed out! He plans on making the most of his first high school weekend, but does that mean fun times or more trouble.

Plus: More Loomer and the reintroduction of Missy and Seth
