Since I was fail when I got up this morning and this chapter is short I'm posting two back to back!
Thanks to all the Usual Suspects (man I LOVE that movie... except when it's censored... fuck when it's censored) Mid, Missy, Kenny and Annie!

James and Bella had been out a few times, but it still seemed as though something was holding them back. I couldn't figure out what it could be, but it was between them, so I didn't say anything. I vowed that if either of them talked to me about it, though, I would be honest with my opinion. But I wasn't going to offer it up freely.
We'd all made the decision, after the crappiness that was the first semester, that we wouldn't devote every hour to every day of studying. For the most part, we did all of our homework during the week, freeing up the weekends to hang out. It seemed to make things less stressful for all of us. With a little downtime, we all found ourselves growing closer and closer.
