So; thanks for all your reviews; I love reading them (:

"Kids! Dinner!" Spencer called from downstairs. I was still in the 'cool down room', with Alex. We'd been in there for about 2 and a half hours now, and had found ourselves lying on the beanbags, in each others arms. Our clothes were on the floor, but our underwear was still intact. I guessed our underwear was gonna stay on. Damn.

"You'd… better… go down." Alex said, in between kissing my neck. She stopped kissing it and started sucking and biting gently. I moaned from in my throat, causing her to suck harder. I knew it would leave a mark, but I didn't tell her to stop.

"I don't wanna." I whispered, running my fingers through her hair.

"Yeah… come on." She said, pulling away from my neck. She crushed her lips into mine, and then stood up. I reluctantly stood up as well, and grabbed my jeans off the floor, then my tee-shirt. By the time I was changed, she was too.

We walked downstairs, after I threw the suitcases she brought round into my room. We tried a few doors, then finally found the dining room, where all the other kids were sitting to the table, with Spencer, Kara and Rocky. They looked hungry.

"Hey, Mitchie, have a seat. Alex, are you staying for dinner?" Kara asked, pointing to the empty seat at the end of the table, next to Danni.

"I can't, sorry, I have to pick Keeli up from after-school club, maybe some other time." She said, smiling at Kara.

"Right, okay. Mitchie, do you wanna see Alex out?" She asked, seeing that I hadn't sat down yet. I nodded, and walked through the hallway to the front door.

"Bye, Alex. And thanks… for… you know, getting me away from them… and for…" I trailed off.

"Being the best girlfriend ever?" She asked, smirking. I nodded, and quickly pecked her on the lips. She pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear, and opened the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Mitchie." She said, looking back at me with a smile.

"Bye." I called, waving.

I went back into the dining room, and sat next to Danni. Kara made all the kids tell me who they were, and their age, then I had to tell them my name, and my age, and a 'bit about myself'. Most of the kids seemed pretty friendly.

Dinner was done by 6, and we were all left to do whatever we wanted, I went to my room to unpack. Danni was sitting on her bed, smirking at me.

"Hey" She said, in a proud-ish voice.

"Hey?" I said, in a questioning tone. She chuckled quietly.

"So… Where'd you get the killer hickey?" She asked, averting her eyes to my neck. I spun round to look in the mirror, and saw a huge purple mark from where Alex was biting my neck. I quickly put my hand to it to cover it up.

"I… erm… I've had it for a while, I usually cover it up with my hair." I said.

"You didn't have it earlier." She stated. I shrugged.

"My hair was covering it up." I tried to defend.

"No, it wasn't, your hair was behind your ears earlier, so I would've seen it, and the only person you've been with since before was your teacher." She stated again.

"…" I stayed quiet, I didn't know what else to say. I looked to the floor, and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Danni's eyes widen as realisation struck her.

"Oh. My. God. You're sleeping with your teacher!" She whisper-yelled. I 'shh-ed' her, and she covered her mouth.

"I'm not sleeping with her…" I trailed off.

"But you're dating her." She said. She said it as a fact, she didn't ask me.

"I… I…" She raised her eyebrows at me, and I knew she wasn't going to be convinced. "Yes. I'm dating my temporary art teacher." I admitted. It honestly felt good to say it out-loud.

"Oh my god!" She said, louder this time.

"You can't say anything… please. She'll go to prison, and I can't lose her… she's all I've got." I said quietly. I sat next to Danni on her bed, and she smiled at me.

"I won't tell, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."

"Thanks."

At 10.00, it was lights out. Danni had helped me to unpack, she cleared her stuff out of the spare closet, and put it in her closet, and I got to put my stuff in the spare one. We climbed into bed, and at around 10.15, Kara came in and turned the lights off, saying goodnight.

"Mitchie?" I heard whispered from the bed underneath mine, I turned to look at the light-up digital clock, which read 23.26.

"Hmm?" I mumbled.

"How long have you and Alex been dating?" She asked me.

"Since yesterday morning." I said, remembering when I told her I liked her.

"How far have you gone with her?" She asked me, just as quietly as before. I didn't know why we were whispering, because the house was so big, that no-one downstairs could've heard us anyway, but I went along with it.

"Not far, we've made out… a lot, and we almost had sex earlier, when Alex gave me the hickey." I said, giggling.

"Mkay. Night, Mitchie." She said quietly, I knew she was drifting off into sleep, so I whispered 'goodnight' back, and soon after, My eyes felt heavy, and I fell asleep.

I was woken up by Chipmunk's 'Oopsy Daisy' playing loudly underneath me. I groaned loudly, and put my pillow over my head. The song stopped playing, and I felt the bed move from underneath, signalling that Danni had gotten up. I knew it was time for me to get up as well, so I sat up, and jumped down from the top bunk.

"Morning." Danni said, obviously very awake.

"Morning." I mumbled back. She smiled at me and went back to her closet, pulling out some clothes. I walked to my closet and pulled out a tight red D&G T-shirt, a pair of black leggings, and some super-short blue denim shorts.

"Danni, where's the showers? I usually have a shower before school." I said, biting my lip. She nodded, and muttered a 'follow me', which I did. We walked down the hallway, and down one flight of stairs, into a room with 7 shower cubicles. Danni turned round and opened another door, which was apparently an airing-cupboard. It had around 30 shelves, and each of them had a name plate, with a towel on. Mine was at the top. Danni got me my towel down, and hooked it onto the top of the shower cubicle.

I got in the shower, and let the warm water run down my body. I washed my hair, and used the soap, once I was done, I got out, and walked back to my bedroom, wrapped in my towel and carrying my pyjama's.

After an hour of drying my hair, doing my make-up, and getting dressed, I was ready. I quickly ran to the 3rd floor bathroom, and brushed my teeth. Then I went downstairs to see all the other kids sitting to the table, munching on toast, or cereal.

"Mitchie, Hey, Grab what-ever looks good." Spencer said, putting a plate of toast on the table. I nodded, and sat next to A girl called Lola, and a boy called Rob. I grabbed a piece of toast, and quickly put butter & jam on it. I ate it, and realised it was 7.25. Alex had told me she would take me to school today, and was picking me up at 7.30. I ran upstairs, grabbed my school bag, and made sure I had all the right stuff.

"Mitchie! Alex is here!" Rocky called from downstairs. I ran down the stairs and saw Alex standing at the door, talking to Rocky.

"Hey, Mitchie, you ready to go?" Alex asked me, quickly cutting her conversation with Rocky short. I nodded, and followed Alex out the door.

"Have a good day kiddo, see you later." Rocky called as I got into Alex's car.

"So, how's the home?" She asked me. I shrugged.

"It's okay, nothing special, I preferred living with you to be honest… it was more private. I have to share a room with a girl called Danni… she's pretty nice, but I still liked living with you more." I told her honestly. She smiled at my sympathetically, she took her eyes off the road for a moment to look at me, then gasped. She looked to the road again.

"Did I give you that?" She asked, obviously talking about my Hickey.

"Yeah, that's the last time you're going near my neck." I said, chuckling quietly.

"Mitchie, this isn't funny." She said, trying to say it strictly, but ended up giggling. She took one of her hands off the steering wheel, and put it out for me to hold, which I did.

"You gonna be okay today?" She asked as we arrived at the school. There were no kids there yet, only a few teachers.

"Yeah, I think so, I mean… no-one knows about my parents yet, and hopefully it'll stay that way." I said. She looked to the floor, then back up at me.

"Yeaaa… about that, it was kinda all over the news… most kids were talking about it yesterday. You can kinda expect a lot of questions." She said, locking her car. We started walking down to her classroom.

"Damn it. I don't wanna deal with this. People are gonna be asking me about it all day." I said, knowing that it was true. Alex smiled at me sympathetically again, and I smiled back weakly.

"I tell you what, we'll go to Mrs. Rush's office, and I'll explain that you don't wanna deal with all the kids' questions, and she'll hopefully do something about it." She told me. I nodded, and we changed directions to head to The main school building, where Mrs Rush's office was.

"Come in." She called from inside after Alex had knocked the door. "Ah, Ms. Russo, Miss Torres. Mitchie, I heard about your parents, I hope you're okay." She said, smiling at me sympathetically.

"Yeah, I guess." I said quietly.

"Actually, that's why we're here, you see… Mitchie's worried about all the questions she'll get, we were wondering if there was anything you could do to… maybe help her avoid the questions, at least until tomorrow?" Alex asked. Mrs Rush nodded slowly.

"Well, Ms. Russo, I can see why Mitchie doesn't want to answer lots of questions, but the only way she can avoid them for the day is by not going to her lessons." She explained. I nodded, looking at the floor.

"She can stay in my room with me, I'll be teaching, but she can do her work in my room, whilst I teach my classes." Alex said. I looked up, hopeful.

"If that's okay with you, Mitchie, then you can do that." Mrs. Rush said, giving me a questioning look.

"Yes, Please." I said happily.

"Okay then, I'll make sure you have your mark on the register, and you can stay with Ms. Russo today, although I can't let you do that tomorrow as well." She said. I nodded, and thanked her, then we left and went to Alex's room, using the half hour we had before her home-room group came, too make out.

Hope you liked it :D x
