Heyy. Sorry I haven't written in a while. I'm glad that some people like this story & I just had writer's block *coughs* Laziness *coughs*. Heh. My badd XD

Disclaimer: I do not own Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. =D Ducks have webbed feet! =) I like ducks.


"Mom, please? It's only to Toronto, nothing big!"

"I don't know. I mean, you will have Simon and Ned, but then again... you will have Simon... and Ned."

I knew exactly what she meant. Those two, especially Ned could be like the worst protectors in the history of their existance. One time, when Ned and I were on summer break in elementary school, our families went on a Trip to Iowa and Ned and I got lost on a hike.

Ned was crying for three hours (like I said before, Ned doesn't count as a guy that I've seen crying). He shoved himself against a tree and cried until our parents found us. My cousins were laughing hysterically and I stood up for Ned. That was when we were best friends but that will never happen again. I'm done protecting him.

I snapped out of the trans and focused on the conversation mom and I were having.

"Mom, I'll be fine. I'm a strong person; you know that."

"Well fine, but don't tell your father I gave in too easily. I don't need him pestering me over my vacation about my parenting styles."

Yeah, right. My parents were the most sickeningly in love couple on the planet. They would kiss way too often in my presence and then tell me that they were trying to get me to witness a healthy marriage. There was no way mom could be considering dad a pest.

"Right, sure, whatever."

Suddenly my mom began to twitch and fidget.

"Mom... is there something on your mind?"

"Well... not er exactly."

I knew my mother way too well. She was so lying.

"What is it this time?"

"Hon, how are you and Ned doing? I heard from Simon's mother that you guys were friends again."

"Oh... um we a-are. Yeah, we are. The best in fact."

"Hon?"

"Yes! We are, we're friends again. I forgave him."

My mom was eyeing me suspiciously but then turned away. Before leaving my mother muttered something under her breath about me and Ned, but I couldn't quite catch it.

I turned to go to my room to start packing for the road trip, when my phone vibrated again.

"Hello?"

"Hey... Moze."

"Oh, it's you. Look I don't have time for this, I've got to pack."

"No... well I mean I just... I'm sorry for uh... calling now but I just wanted to give you the details. Cookie asked me to give you them because his parents took away his phone privileges."

I laughed a little.

"What'd he do this time?"

"Unintentionally hacked his father's files and found a few... to say the least disturbing pictures of his mother."

I shuddered, but laughed again. Then I realized who I was talking to again.

"Well?"

"Oh, right. So we're leaving tomorrow afternoon to start. Apparently we'll hit a hotel room on the way and chill there. Oh and I forgot to mention to bring some money for yourself."

I stopped him, "Will we have to pay for the hotel nights?"

"No, Cookie's parents are paying for most of the trip to make it more fun for us. I'm just saying to bring money so we don't feel so stingy."

I had to agree; although Cookie's parents were rich, it wasn't fair to make him pay for everything.

"Okay, continue."

"So anyway, we'll be hitting Toronto by I'd say... a week. Mainly so we can stop and "smell the roses" and because Cookie wants to see the big nickle in Sudbury."

"Sudbury? Where's that?"

"North of Toronto, but that's not the point. Anyway, so after our last final, we'll go home and get some rest. Do you want to take the first driving shift?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Okay, well, I guess... I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yeah, sure."

I hung up the phone feeling defeated. No matter how mad I was at Ned, I just couldn't stay that mad.

Don't get me wrong, I was still pissed, but I just couldn't help noticing how civil and somewhat polite a conversation we'd just had. This sucked. I was going right back into full on crush mode, but I would make sure that Ned would never find out.


Math. My best and not to mention my favourite subject. It was my last final of my high school life and I was seconds away from being done. Finally I laid my pencil down and double checked my answers. I had a half an hour to kill so I laid my head down just for a moment.

"Hey, Moze, have you seen my socks?"

"How would I know where they are?"

"I don't know."

"So... why ask in the first place?"

"I don't know. Well, I'm off to see the big nickle! Later!"

"NO WAIT, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH HIM!"

Suddenly Cookie disappeared and I was left alone. All alone. Then there was a tapping on my shoulder.

It felt like one of those weird, eerie horror movies where the teen girl always dies. I turned to see a masked "villan" who seemed to be not that frightening at all.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, have you seen my sandwich? I've been looking everywhere for it."

"I don't even know you."

"Sure you do..."

The masked "villian" revealed himself to be Ned.

"Ned?!"

"Hey Moze. We'd better get to Toronto soon, or we'll miss the CN Tower tour guide."

Suddenly he stopped and stared at me. The background of our high school melted, literally melted, away.

Ned took a step closer towards me. Then another, followed by another few until we were face to face.

I tried to step back, but everytime I did he would take one step forward.

"I repeat, have you seen my sandwich?"

"N-no I uh, haven't," I responded, suddenly flustered.

Ned's face grew closer and closer to mine until our lips touched. Fireworks filled the background and I cupped his face. My mind kept shouting no, but all I could do was kiss.

"Miss Mosley, get up. Miss Mosley. Miss Mosley?"

"Huh? What?"

My teacher, Mr. Franks, was staring at me with suspion but had a smirk on his face at the same time.

"Miss Mosely I'm glad you've finished you're exam, but would you please wake up when the bell rings?"

"Oh, right, Sorry." I blushed a little and handed him my paper.

"I'm sure you did fantastic."

"I hope so." I smiled and left the room.

Ned was waiting for me outside of the classroom. Ned was about to talk, but I stormed by pretty fast.

"I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR STUPID SANDWICH IS, SO LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I ran out the door, but not before I heard Ned say "But... I already found that this morning in my bag..."

I laughed a little and ran out the door and walked straight home.
