Ok. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Eighteen reviews! Now, that may sound pathetic to you big-time writers, but I haven't gotten one flame. NOT ONE (Please don't flame me just so you can stop the no flames). I'm so happy! Also, I apologize for not updating sooner. I reread the Warriors series, and I really like the BrambleXLeaf thing. Don't worry, I'm still writing SITR (I abbreviate all my story names because they're so long), it's just with a bit of a twist. Oh, and I don't remember who it was, but somebody thought Sorreltail liked Ashfur. Not true. She likes Brackenfur (Brian). Come one people, check the name list when in doubt!

Leah stopped, staring openly, her heart hammering away in her chest. No. Not this. Not now. And yet still they stood in front of her, oblivious, his hands splayed on the lockers as his mouth contorted against hers… the Bitch Queen had Corbin pinned up on the wall, her boobs, so much larger than Leah's own breasts, pressed up forcefully against Corbin's chest. It wasn't true. It couldn't be. But after a few long, drawn moments, Corbin turned his head. Although Nikki tried to get his attention, slipping a leg in between his, she failed and Corbin was just in time to see the girl he had declared love for flee to the girls' bathroom, her eyes misting already.

Now, had Leah stuck around, she would've seen how Corbin yelled at Nikki for kissing him and how the Bitch Queen was humiliated. She might've laughed at the way Nikki at first attempted seduction on Corbin, and then went with pleading to hold his attention.

"Corby, why don't-"

"Don't call me that, Nikki."

The Bitch Queen huffed. "Fine. But honestly, what's up? I mean, that wasn't cool." Usually, when Nikki told someone they were uncool, they repented immediately. Not Corbin.

"Nikki, I have… I have a girlfriend," Corbin said, a rosy tint highlighting his blushing cheeks. "And so I'm kinda not supposed to let other girls kiss me."

You need to understand that nobody said no to Nikki. Nobody. Corbin's words were alien to her. She shrugged innocently, subtly showing Corbin a bit of cleavage. When he took no notice, she slipped her shirt off her shoulder, leaving the tip of her bra to hungry eyes. Corbin didn't care.

"Corbin, come on," said the Bitch Queen, forming a plan. "Let's just talk this over…" Nikki led Corbin outside. Big, big mistake.

Meanwhile, after Leah had sniffled and shook her tears away, she texted Sophie.

Leafgirl: soph I need u in the girls room now

Softee36: um busy Lee

Leah shook her head. No doubt Sophie was with Brandon. There would be no help from that direction, so she called out to Skylar.

Leafgirl: sky I need u 2 come to the girls room

Birdie: im in it

Leafgirl: r not

Birdie: r 2. 2nd stall

Leah checked, and sure enough, Skylar was puffy-eyed in her own little hell in the next stall.

"Sky, what happened?" Skylar looked far worse than Leah felt.

"I… I'll tell you, but can we go somewhere? I don't fell so well."

Leah nodded. What could be more terrible than her own misfortune?

Later, on the swings at the Park, Skylar sobbed her story out.

"So-So Brandon and I had a fight," she choked out. This was no news. Although their feelings for one another were strong, Sky and Brandon chafed constantly, their fiery wills blazing. "And we... we broke up, and Ashton came and asked me out, you know how he is… but Leah, I don't like him that much! I needed somebody though, anybody, and he kissed me, and shit Leah I kissed him back! What do I do?" Skylar rocked back and forth, the weight of her suitors heavy on her slim shoulders.

"Just try Ashton, Skylar. You know he cares for you. When things get better between you and Brandon- I know they will- maybe you'll get back together. But for now, let it be, ok? If Ashton likes you that much he will give you space."

Skylar stifled a sigh. "'K, Lee. For you." She shook her curly hair and walked away, back towards her problems. In Leah's mind, a plan was forming, a plan to get Corbin back. It was devious, and it could hurt people, but it was a good plan, and Leah started as soon as she saw her victim.

"Hi, Brandon," she flirted, grabbing the hem of her skirt and twirling it playfully. She puffed out her breasts. "How are you?"

Brandon's gaze was fixed on her boobs, but he had the decency to look up. "Good. You?"

"Oh, alright. It's just…" Leah heaved a comical sigh and stared at her sandaled feet.

"It's just what?"

"Well, I-" Leah broke off abruptly and leaned forward, letting Brandon have a chance to peek into her v-neck. She had purposely worn lacy lingerie just for this. "Can I trust you, Brandon?" She asked, grabbing his jaw and pouring emotion out her eyes, staring straight at him. Brandon saw the lust in her eyes and knew what she wanted.

"Yes," he said. Good answer, thought Leah. It's so easy to fool you…

"I… I broke up with Corbin," Leah confessed, looking down and playing with the edge of her shirt. Brandon noticed. She lifted the edge a bit higher before dropping it.

"Oh, I'm sorry," said Brandon, but Leah could tell he was anything but. Leah knew Brandon and Skylar had had sex, and he was currently imagining Leah naked and writhing beneath him in place of his ex. (A/N: I'm sorry to depict Brambleclaw this way. I know he's actually caring and sweet, it's just that I needed a guy for Leah to play with and I love this couple) Oh, he couldn't wait for the day…

Brandon was snapped out his day dream as Leah girlishly tripped over her heels into his arms. Once there, she looked up innocently, her eyes wide and curious. Brandon followed her plan exactly, kissing her straightaway without a care to whom might be watching. Leah tentatively fought back.

"I'm sorry," She said, not sorry at all. "I don't know if I'm ready, so soon…"

Brandon smiled easily. "I'll help you along.
