This story, I've decided, is dedicated to Albus Severus Potter, for not only reviewing in good detail to THIS story, but to a few of my other ones. You should make an account, so I can make some real replies to you, you're ideas are great. :)

Speaking of which, I'm totally open to suggestion. As of right now, this story is open ended, and I have no idea how long it will be, and how it will end. It ends when it ends, this story was made purely to see a Hobbes/Susie pairing. I've never seen it before, but thought it fit nice (especially given Hobbes' rather provocative comments about her in some of the strips xD) Maybe someone else will try the pairing.

Thanks for reading, and reviewing. Suggestions are totally welcome, and hey, if anyone wants to make some fanart, I'd love to see it, and put the link on my profile. Yeah. So, aside from that, here's chapter 7!

"I need to talk to you."

Giving Susie an apologetic smile, the feline hoisted himself up onto the porch, and followed Calvin into the house, up the stairs, to their room. Once in the room, Calvin shut the door behind them, turning back to see Hobbes leaning against the closed windowsill, arms crossed. He gestured a hand to the teen in question, "What did you need to tell me?"

"I know a way to get you into school."
"How- Why do you want me in your school?"
"Don't you want to be closer to Susie?"

Hobbes tilted his head to the side, eyebrows raised, "Wait a minute. Don't you 'like' her?"

"Do you want to be around he more, or not?"

The tiger thought for a moment, feeling skeptical. Calvin had gotten a lot better at scheming over the years. Eventually deciding that he could simply maul him if something went wrong, he slowly nodded. Calvin smiled, pulling out a small shite board from the side of the bed. He had drawn a map of the neighborhood, along with little multicolored lines running through it, criss-crossing a few times. At the top was a heading in red dry-erase marker, labeled Operation: World of Lines.

"Operation: World of Lines? What's that?"
"See, the red line is the route Susie takes to school. The blue one is my route, and the green one will be yours."
"Why is my line going in the opposite direction? You and Susie normally take a similar route, don't you?"

Calvin flushed, before shaking his head, making angry gestures with his hands, pointing at the green lines

"It's been made clear that the creative people –such as myself- are the ones who see you."
"Your point?"

"If one fourth of my school sees an anthropomorphic tiger on campus, they're going to freak! The other creative people being the ones who take creative writing, drama, modern art, etcetera. All those people take the southern route, where most of them like to hand out too. Susie and I go there, but you have to go to the North route to get in, where the math and science rooms are."

"Gotcha. But what about classes. I have to be in her classes to spend more time with her."
"We're seniors, and only have three classes. Economy, English IV, and Drama. So, we'll find somewhere for you to go for Drama."

"Okay… Well, when do I start?" asked Hobbes, getting excited at the thought of going to high school."

"Tomorrow's Monday, so, I guess then. Be sure you're ready, and awake by seven."

Nodding, Hobbes smothered Calvin in a bear hug, lifting the poor boy off the ground before dropping him, and racing off to tell Mom and Susie. Picking himself up off the ground, and dusting his sweater off, Calvin smiled evilly to himself. He felt bad about it deep down; this plan was going to get him more time with Susie. He had made Hobbes a notebook with more lines on where to go, and where not to go. His main hope was that Hobbes would find a new girl to go after. It wasn't likely, but he hoped the plan would work.

oooOoOooo

"Susie! Susie!"

The girl was still sttingon the porch, waiting, sipping her tea. She was sill wearing her glasses, having a slight bit more confidence after Hobbes' words. Said tiger was rushing though the kitchen, grinning as he made his way to the porch. He jumped from the porch, onto the lawn, whirling around to face a stunned Susie. She couldn't help but giggle a little at his behavior. His eyes glinted happily, a big toothy grin plastered to his face, his posture spontaneous. She stood up, smirking a bit,

"What has you so excited?"
"Calvin told me I can go to school with you guys. Isn't that great!"

She smiled. In a sudden act of happiness for the tiger, she hugged him. Hobbes blushed at the sudden contact, but felt it as an opportunity, hesitantly wrapping strong arms around her waist, savoring the feeling of her against him. Half of Susie wanted to pull away, was it weird to hug him so soon? The urge to do so melted away the moment she tensed at the feel of his arms returning the hug, wrapping around her. He was warm.

Eventually, she pulled away, a bit to Hobbes' disappointment, but the gesture made him happy none-the-less. Her scent was rather…intoxicating. As they slowly pulled away from each other, Susie smiled. Maybe having him around school would be nice. He seemed intelligent, and a bit goofy to counter balance it. The feelings she had about him were growing from everywhere, almost in a confusing way, but-…she couldn't explain it…

oooOoOooo

Susie prepared for the following week later that night, a bit slowly. Her mind was wandering. She prepared her book bag with the bare essentials, ad set it by the door. She had showered, and was now choosing what to wear. Meanwhile, her iPod dock was playing through a shuffled playlist. The sky was dark, the only light was coming from the lamp on her bedside table. It was around ten o'clock at night. Picking out the clothes, she walked slowly to her bed, sitting down on the side. Coheed and Cambria's 'Feathers' was playing from the speakers, one of her favored songs. It was one of those songs that made her feel in love.

Love.

That was something she felt was lacking. A love life. Not that it really mattered at the moment, but she still wanted the feeling she used to feel around Calvin. Her crush on him faded throughout her time in high school, as her self esteem seemed to be shot down by the "it" girls, the ones that harassed her so much. They called her ugly, and nerdy, and treated her like crap. 'I'll have to set Hobbes on them one day', she thought subconsciously, smiling evilly to herself at the image. 'Hobbes' she then thought, then saying the name out loud, quietly as she lay down, settling under the covers.

There was something about him. She was feeling more and more glad that she'd be able to speak with him at school now. It would be a nice change speaking to someone at her own intellectual level, instead of the moronic group of girl friends she was stuck with now. She rolled her eyes at the thought of them, those bimbos. Resting her head back on the pillows, she closed her eyes, dreaming of what would happen tomorrow…

oooOoOooo

The next morning, Calvin woke up to the shrill beeping of his alarm clock. Opening his eyes bitterly, he sat up, reaching for the snooze button, before realizing that there wasn't the familiar furry torso he normally had to reach over. Rubbing his eyes, he looked in the direction of the dresser and mirror, seeing Hobbes already awake, spraying something on himself.

"You're serious, Hobbes? We don't have to leave for another forty minutes!"
"I wanted to be ready and awake for today."
"At 6:50?"

The tiger simply rolled his eyes. Calvin rolled back over to sleep longer, until an all too familiar scent caught him. He sat back up, eyebrows furrowed, look at Hobbes in questioning,

"Are you wearing cologne?"

Hobbes chuckled nervously, nodding, "The back of the bottle says that girls love the smell of this stuff." Calvin muttered to himself, rolling his eyes, and rolling back over as Hobbes continued to inspect himself in the mirror. He had brushed his teeth and showered. He felt ready for the day. Taking a deep breath, he headed downstairs to read something prior to leaving. He pulled out the notebook Calvin given him. His green lines were in almost exact order of where to go, no freedom. Shrugging, when 7:30 rolled around, he began to walk his route to school.

He finally found Calvin at the school when the first class was to start, and followed him, walking past the unsuspecting students until he saw Calvin enter a large building. He continued to follow him, and finally caught up with his friend, spotting Susie ahead of them both in the hall. He stopped the boy, grabbing him by the shoulder.

"What class are we going into."
"I have Drama."

Absentmindedly, Hobbes continued to walk down the corridor until they were in a large auditorium. His eyes were locked on Susie, a few steps ahead. When they entered the room, a handful of students took a look at them from their seats. The ones who looked immediately screamed, and ran through the isles. Susie whirled around, and waved at Calvin and Hobbes, before realizing why everyone was running. The tiger flushed, turning to Calvin,

"I…I wasn't supposed to be near the drama building was I?"

I ended this chapter too hurriedly, but whatever The next chapter wil be an eventful Monday at school, and the walk home. Any suggestions for what should happen next chapter, involving either the fearing students, or the growing relationship between our two main characters? :) I love the suggestions.

REVIEW. :3
