Rico's house 8:25 AM mon.

Rico got up and yawned as he rubbed his eye's. Outside was a beautifull day. There were no cloud's in the sky, and the wind was blowing soft. He could feel the wind blowing across his face as he got out of bed.

He walked over to the t.v and picked up a shirt that was laying on the florr. He took off his shirt and put on the new one. After that, he walked into the hallway and into the bathroom. He pulled a comb out of his pocket, and combed his hair. Only leaving a small mohawk on top. Rico looked up at the clock that read, 8:34. Then he remembered.

"Study." Rico murmured under his breath as he walked into the kitchen were his dad was sitting at the kitchen table with coffee in one hand, and a newspaper in the other. "So. Heard you were out late." His voice was cold. "Uh huh." Rico pulled a picher of orange juice out of the fridge, and made his way to the cupboard for a cup.

"Uh huh? That's all you have to say?" Rico could see his father standing up out the corner of his eye. Rico put the picher down and turned to face his dad. "Yah." Rico crossed his arms. Suddenly his dad threw the boiling cup of coffee at hiss chest. "HEY!" Rico grunted out in pain as he clutched his chest. "Oh. Now you have somthing to say? Rico's dad punched Rico across the face causing Rico to hit the floor.

His dad picked up his paper and stormed out of the kitchen. "Why the fuck do you even live here if your out all day!" After a few seond's Rico got up rubbing his cheak which now had a huge purple bruise. "Eh."

He ran to his bedroom. He grabbed a bunch of book's, paper and pencil's and placed all the utenciles into his bookback. He didnt really want to go study with Kowalski, but hey. If it meant getting out of this place for a hile, he might as well take it.

After Rico was all set, he put on his backpack and jumped out the window.

He made his way over to Kowalski's as and looked at his watch. "8:56" He saw Kowalski's mom coming out to her car and remembered what Kowalski said. "My mom leaves at nine. But dont come before nine. Im not suppose to have anyone over." Rico jumbed behind one of the bushed in Kowalski's yard and waiting for his mom to leave.

After she was gone Rico came out of the bushes and walked up to the door. But he he stopped before he grabbed the knobe. He hated studying, and most of all he had to study with Kowalski. all week! The king of dork's. Besides mabey getting held back wasnt so bad. The work wouldnt be so hard. He already did it once. No. No! He had to pass. No matter what!

He Knocked on the door 3 times and waiting for his new tutur to come out. Kowalski opened the door and peaked out. "Oh. Hey there Rico. Ready to get started?" Rico grunted pushing Kowalski aside as he entered the living room. "Um. Come in?" Kowalski shut the door and walked over to Rico who was sitting on the couch.

"Uh. Take off you shoes please. My mom doesnt like it when anyone track's dirt." Rico's eye flinched after hearing what Kowalski had just said. His dorkiness starts already huh? "Ok." Rico took off his shoe and threw them by the door.

"Hey what happend?" Kowalski could see the bruise on Rico's cheek. "Nothing." Rico covered it up with his hand. "Are you alright?" Kowalski felt the bruise making Riko flinch. "Yah!" " Oh. Uh sorry." Kowalski pulled his hand away and reached for his backpack. "Shall we get started then?" Rico grunted and shook his head. The two made there way up the stair's into Kowalski's room .

HQ (AKA Private's treehouse.) 9:32 AM mon

Skipper was sitting at his wireless laptop at a desk sitting in the corner. Private sat on a beanbag chair watching t.v drinking one of his love smoothies. On the wall's of the HQ had some of there plan's and some picture's that Private would draw in his spare time. Thre was a small light bulb hanging in the center of the tree house and a couple blanket's and pillow's in the corner, for the night's they would camp out up there.

"Skippa?" Private was gulping down his smoothies every few second's. "Yes Private?" Private was holding his head. "Brain freeze!" Skipeer laughed as he walked over to Private. "You idiot." Skipper rubbed Privates head. Private looked up at Skipper and smiled. "Your in a good mood today. What happend?"

"Eh. mabey it's just because the other's arent here. Since your alway's a goody two shoes, I dont have to be that stricked on anyone today." Skipper walked over to the window and looked acrossthe landscape. Private was leaning against his wrist eyeing Skipper. Everything was silent except for the cartoon Private was watching.

Skipper turned to Private and smiled. "You know. Were really gonna miss you Max." Private was silent for a moment till he spoke out. "Dont worry Skippa. Weve already through this. Im fine with the rest of you going to high school. I'll just meet you there the year later." Skipper smalled and shook his head. "Yah. but there's still just onemore problem. Rico."

Kowalski's house 11:39 AM mon

Kowalski was getting iritated. He had faceing down onto the paper. Every few second's he would here the same thing over and over. Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Rico was leaning back in his chair next to Kowalski who was sitting at the desk, throwing pencil's up at the ceiling in hopes of getting them stuck up there.

"Rico? I would appreciate it if you wouldnt throw pencil's into my ceiling." Rico did'nt pay any attention to him as he kept throwing. "Rico!" Kowalski grabbed the pencil's out of Rico's grip. "We need to get studying." Kowalski put the pencil's in the pencil case. "Bitch." Rico grunted and looked at Kowalski.

"How about we start with Algebra first?" Rico shrugged. "Ok first question" Kowalski held up a clipboard which jad read. f(x)= (2x^3) + (ax^2) + bx + 10 / when f(x) is divided by 2x-1 the remainder is 12 / when f(x) is divided by x+1 there is no remainder...find a and b.

Rico's scratched the back of his head and he could feel his mind starting to spin. "Eh. Six?" Kowalski looked down and shook his head. "No Rico. It's easy." Rico was wondering, "Yeah. to you mabey." "Ok rico. mabey algebra is'nt your strong point."

Kowalski put the clipboard on the desk. "What about science. Im a specialty at that." Rico shrugged. Kowalski put his elbow on the desk and straitened his glasse. "Ok Rico. This is an easy one. If you cant awnser this I believe we are in big trouble." Kowalski let out a small chuckle. "Rico. What is the third planet from the sun?" Rico started to sweat as he sat there clutching onto. the chair.

"It's us Rico. Earth. Is that third plant from the sun." Rico opened his mouth. "Oooooh." Kowalski banged his head on the desk. "Were doomed.

Kowalski's house 2:44 PM mon

Kowalski was working on an assignment as Rico was wandering around the room. "Were not going to get anywhere if this keep's up. He's so stubborn when it come's to anything. But I have to admit, he does look cute when he's stubborn. He act's just like a puppy that wont take a bath" Kowalski could feel warmth weiling up in his cheek's.

Rico was looking through a pile of dvd's. He was flipping through them, throwing them one by one on the bed until he found one that caught his eye. "Lady. And. Tamp." He walked over to Kowalski who was still working on an assignment. "K'walski? Yes Rico? Kowalski was still looking down as Rico threw the dvd case on the desk in front of Kowalski's face.

"Lady and the Tramp?" Kowalski looked up at Rico. "You know this is a love sotry. Right?" Rico shrugged and shook his head. "You wanna watch it?" Kowalski held the movie up to Rico who took it from his hand. "Yah yah!"

Rico walked over to the dvd player and put the movie in. Kowalski sat on the bed. As soon as the movie started to play, Rico ran over and jumped on the bed next to Kowalski.

Kowalski's house 7:23 PM mon

The movie had ended over an hour ago and Kowalski fell asleep about half way into it. Rico still sat on the bed watching Kowalski sleep. What was so fun about watching Kowalski sleep anyway? Mabey it's because when he was asleep, he seemed so innocent. So sweet. So...Vulnerable?

Rico wiped the thought clear from his mind as he got off the bed. He didnt like Kowalski. There's no way he would ever fall for his friend. He was strait...Right? Rico looked down at his friend then looked out the window. Though. They do say opposites attract.

Besides when him and Kowalski were watching the movie , the would laugh together, feel bad together, heck even cry together.

Rico shook his head trying to stop thinking. after a couple minutes he heard a car door slam. "Kowalski's mom!" Rico looked out the window to see Kowalski mom getting out of the back of the car. "Uh oh." Rico looked back at Kowalski who was still asleep. Rico walked over to him and covered him up with a blanket.

rico quickly ran downstair's to grab his shoes. Before Kowalski's mom came in, Rico ran through the back door.

Rico was walking down the street as Skipper ran up beside him. "Hey there Rico. How did they studying go?" Rico looked down at Skipper. "Ok." Skipper had his hand's behind his back. "Good. If it keep's going like this, you'll be passing in no time." Rico rolled his eye's

Chapter 2 is done! Sorry if it seem's like it went by fast. That's cause it did. lol. Im actually waiting for all my best idea's to appear in later chapter's. Also.

I decided to have them to watch Lady and The Tramp for two reasons. 1: Because It is a love story about about two doeg's. They ae my favorite type of animals. and 2: MNy favorite disney classic ever!

Oh and by the way, trust me, chapter 3 will be longer. =)
