~Hey people! Thanks for the reviews.~

Chapter Five - I don't have feelings for you!


"Am I boring you, Buttercup?"

..

"MISS UTONIUM!"

Buttercup's head shot up from her desk rather quickly. She saw her teacher standing before her, with an angry look on his face. Buttercup's head was spinning, she hadn't even realised that she had fallen asleep. She looked over to the other desk to see Brick and Butch laughing at the angry look on their teachers face.

"Uh..sorry." Buttercup muttered. Mr Greg, their 40 year old French teacher, turned around and went back to teaching the class. Buttercup glanced back over to Butch who was still laughing. She couldn't help but smile at how easily amused he could get.

Buttercup's eyes closed again as her breathing started getting slower again. She tried desperately to open her eyes again but it seemed impossible. She began to panic and gasp for air, then she heard her name getting called.

"BUTTERCUP!" Butch's voice rang through her head.

Her eyes finally opened a little, and she was on the ground. When had she fainted? Buttercup saw Butch trying desperately to keep her awake, but with one last gasp her eyes closed again.

Butch was horrified.

"Buttercup!?" He screamed again.

Mr Greg ran over and examined the situation, and the pair both sighed in relief when Buttercup began to breathe normally again. "Take her to the nurses office, please, Mr Jojo." Mr Greg commanded.

"Yeah, I will." Butch said as he picked her up bridal style and began to walk out of the class. He noticed Brick pull out his phone and dial a number, probably calling either Blossom or Bubbles.

Butch walked to the nurses office and lay Buttercup down on the bed, watching as she stirred. He hated seeing her like this. Why had he not noticed something was wrong? The way her stomach always hurt after boxing class, and her attitude change. What was wrong with her?

"Mr Jojo, what happened?" Miss Matthew, the school nurse, asked.

"She was fine then out of no where she fainted." Butch explained, not taking his eyes off Buttercup. He was confused on why he got so worried, he was only being civil with her because his brothers were, right?

"Okay, I'm guessing it's just too much stress, but just in case it's something more dire, I'll go run some tests. You can go back to class, or wait with her, if you would prefer that?" Miss Matthew asked. Butch replied that he would rather stay with her, and so the nurse walked off to run a couple tests.

Butch watched as her eyes slowly fluttered open. She gazed at Butch and yanked her arm away, noticing he was clutching to it for dear life. Buttercup looked shocked that he was any where near her, considering they weren't in the gym. She finally spoke.

"Where am I?" Buttercup asked, confused. She had never been in the nurses office before, so she wasn't aware of her surroundings. It didn't take long for her to figure out. She sighed and rubbed her temples.

"You fainted in class." Butch replied. Buttercup rolled her eyes at him. "I'm aware of that, Twitch. Why are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be off annoying some first years?" She shot at him.

Butch smiled. Same old Buttercup. "The nurse said I could wait with you, so here I am." Buttercup raised her eyebrow.

"But why?" She repeated.

"You ask way too many questions." Butch said, sitting on the seat beside the bed. Buttercup sat up and crossed her arms, giving him an unsatisfied look.

Butch sighed. "Don't flatter yourself, do you really think I would pass the opportunity to skip class and not get detention?" He asked with a charming smirk. Buttercup rolled her eyes again. Miss Matthew came back into the room and smiled at the now awake Buttercup.

"You're awake, great. You obviously are fairly new and haven't been to the nurses office before. I am Miss Matthews." She smiled brightly, to brightly for Buttercup's taste. "I assume the reason you passed out was because of a huge amount of stress. Is there anything bothering you?" Buttercup was really getting sick of being asked that. She simply shook her head, causing Miss Matthews to look at her skeptically.

"Okay, well I excuse you from your next class. Go and get some fresh air, and Butch, please keep an eye on her." Butch nodded. Buttercup sighed, thinking he was probably just happy to get out of another class. She was aswell. The pair walked out of the room, and headed outside to get some air.

Buttercup didn't know, but Butch was planning on finding out exactly what was wrong with her, it wouldn't be as easy as he thought..


Boomer walked into the library during his free period, where he knew Bubbles would be. He saw her at one of the tables, studying for her English test. He thought she looked so beautiful. She was twirling her hair with her finger and sitting with a confused expression as she skimmed through the book. He walked over to the blonde, and took a seat beside her. Bubbles looked up in surprise, and smiled when she saw who was sitting beside her. He smiled back.

"Boomer, what are you doing here?" She asked in surprise.

"I can read, you know." He chuckled charmingly.

Bubbles laughed also. "I know that, it's just this isn't where you usually spend your free period." She had a point there. Usually he spent his free period on the field, flirting with the cheerleaders, but now that he had his eye on Bubbles, he would rather spend time with her.

"I just wanted to ask you something." Boomer said, suddenly getting very nervous. She thought he was cute when he got nervous. Bubbles smiled brightly. "Ask away."

"Well, considering the party is tomorrow, and we have no dates, mabey we should go with each other." Bubbles looked at him quizzically. "As friends, of course!" Boomer added.

Bubbles laughed a little at her assumption, and smiled. "Of course." She repeated. "I'll go with you, Boomer. It'll be fun to go with such a good friend, more fun that it would have been with Tyler anyway." Boomer sighed in relief, although a little saddened about her calling him such a good friend.

"Great! I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow." He grinned.

Boomer got up and walked out of the library, smiling like an idiot. Sure, he felt bad that he lied but it was for the best, right? Now she could spend time with him and soon return the feelings. It was just going to be hard going through the party without her finding out what he had done, but it was a task he was willing to take.


"You really are a jerk, you know that?" Tyler turned to face a livid Maxine.

He smiled in a charming sort of way and nodded. "I know that, but why do you think so?" His British accent and charming smile wasn't going to make Maxine any less mad at him, so he gave up. It was hard to charm a girl who already had a boyfriend.

"I just heard that you asked Amanda Whittley to the party? I thought you were serious about Bubbles! Why aren't you taking her!? Mandy Whittley is a cheap prostitute compared to Bubbles, how could yo-" Tyler cut her off just in time.

"Wow! Calm down, Max. I wanted to take Barbie to the party but she wasn't interested." Maxine raised her eyebrow at the brunette boy. She didn't look impressed.

She scoffed. "Of course she was interested. She's crazy about you!" Tyler rolled his eyes.

"Blondie is a great actress, clearly. She told Boomer she didn't want to go with me, so I asked Whittley. If you want to scream at someone for leading someone on, you should be screaming at Blondie." Maxine's expression softened.

"She has a name." Maxine said angrily. "-And that makes no sence. Bubbles never stops talking about you, she's practically got Miss Cairns written all over her maths book. She can't have just lost interest in a day."

Tyler narrowed his eyes to Maxine and shot his hands up. "Look, I wanted something to happen with her, she's the first girl I've been serious about in a long time, but she clearly doesn't want to do anything about it. The girl is a grade A mind fuck, and I can't be bothered with girls like that. I'm taking Whittley to the party, end off."

He walked off in a mood, leaving behind a very confused Maxine.

Something doesn't seem right about this, Maxine thought aloud.


Buttercup sat down on the grass outside of the school, Butch sitting beside her. She took in the air and calmed herself down a little. Her eyes narrowed when she noticed him staring from the corner of her eye. She turned to him with a bored expression plastered all over her face.

"If you want, I can just say you're watching me and you can go off with someone you actually want to spend time with." She suggested. He smiled and chuckled.

"I want to spend time with you, I have to right? I think it's you that doesn't want to spend time with me." He raised his eyebrow smiling. Buttercup clapped and gave him a spiteful grin.

"Well done, Twitch." She looked away. "There's got to a million other places you want to be, so fuck off and leave me alone."

Butch realised why she was his counterpart. She was mean with a mouth to prove it. He did notice how she had changed a lot since they were kids though, she was less calice. He kind of liked it. Of course he didn't like her, but she was entertaining.

"Listen, ButterBitch." She rolled her eyes at the name, and he continued. "I might only be being nice because Brick said so, but the truth is, I don't mind it. I mean Blossom is a little stuck up and Bubbles is an airhead but you..you're pretty fun."

Buttercup balled her fists, ready to hit him for the comment on her sisters, but he raised his hands in defence. She narrowed her eyes and let her guard down. "I know you hate me, believe me, I don't care for you much either, but I'm willing to be nice, if you are too."

She looked disgusted by the thought of even being nice to him. "I'll never be nice to you, Butch. You were born to kill me! You can't have a conversation with me without insulting me or my sisters, how can I be friends with you?"

"We don't have to be friends. Unless you like the idea of friends with benefits?" He smirked at the look on her face. She went red in embarrasment and anger. Buttercup stood up and began to walk away from him, causing him to chase after her.

"Wait!" He cried. "Obviously you don't like that idea." She gave him a bitter look with her arms crossed. He sighed and continued. "I'll leave you alone on one condition."

She raised her eyebrow. "What condition would that be?"

"You have to tell me what's wrong with you. Why you've been hostile and bitchy, I mean, more than before." He chuckled.

Buttercup looked at him desperately. "Okay..you really want to know?"

He nodded.

"I changed, okay? When we moved to Citysville I really started to clean up my act, and stop getting into trouble all the time, and it worked! But..being back here, it's just reminded me of the girl I used to be, the one that's coming back day by day." She shot. Butch's expression softened.

It looked like it was hard for her to say this, but considering how long the words had been bottled up, they were now shooting out like cannon fire. "..It reminds me that my dad's gone. I had finally forgotten, but coming back here brought all of that back. I can't do this, Butch! I can't be that girl anym-" Buttercup was cut off by a pair of lips on hers. She looked at Butch, startled, and pulled away.

"What was that for?" She looked stunned, but weirdly enough, not angry.

Butch smirked. "Well usually when girls are yelling or crying that's my way of calming them down." Buttercup scoffed and turned away from him.

"Well never do it again. I told you what was wrong, so now you have to hold your part of the deal, and leave me alone." Buttercup spat before walking off. Butch stood still, knowing better than to run after her again. He didn't think he'd be so upset about her wanting to leave him alone, mabey he was getting soft.

Butch narrowed his eyes. "Whatever." He spat, knowing she couldn't hear, and walked away.


It had been a long day, and the girls were now home.

Buttercup had went strait to her room, although Blossom assumed it was just because she wasn't feeling well after today's incident in French class. Bubbles was picking out a brilliant Halloween party outfit in the living room with Blossom.

"What should I go as?" Bubbles asked Blossom.

"Well what is Boomer going as?" Blossom knew about her date, and was well aware it was a friend thing, although she figured that it was more than that. Bubbles shrugged in response.

"I'm not sure, I guess I could just go as an angel or something." Blossom nodded smiling.

"That sounds good." She had already decided to go as a witch. "Listen, I'm quite exhausted, so I'm going for a nap on the couch." She said as she lay down on the couch.

Bubbles nodded. "Yeah, I'll just go upstairs and order an outfit." The blonde picked up her laptop and made her way upstairs. Blossom closed her eyes and rest her head to the side, letting herself drift to sleep..

KNOCK.

Blossom rolled her eyes. "Really!? I need to sleep!" She moaned as she got up to answer the door. She walked over and opened it, gasping in surprise at who was there. Brick. What the hell?

"Brick, what are you doing at my house? We didn't arrange to work on the project today." Blossom moaned. Brick smiled and walked inside, not waiting for an invite. Blossom closed the door and turned around with her arms crossed.

"I came to see you, actually." Blossom raised her eyebrow.

"Okay..what did you want to talk about?" She asked.

Brick didn't even reply, instead he walked closer to her. She uncrossed her arms and waited for him to say something. He grabbed her and pulled her into a shocking but very passionate kiss. She was stunned but found herself kissing back with just as much passion. It was heaven.

She broke the kiss and stared at him in shock. "Why did you do that?"

"..You know you wanted to." She raised her eyebrow.

"What are you talking about? I don't have feeling for you!"

Brick smiled charmingly. "Are you sure about that?"...

Blossom shot up and panted. It was all a dream? She really had fallen asleep. Blossom rubbed her temples and lay back down, panting again. What did that dream mean?

Unless..

Oh god, she has feelings for Brick Jojo.

Blossom's mouth hung wide open.


Wooo, too soon? Oh well, it seemed right. Well the next chapter is the Halloween party, it's going to be very exiting! Lots of cliffhangers and excitement! You wont want to miss it!

Next Chapter - Boomer spends the night making sure that Bubbles doesn't learn of his deceit. Blossom tries to tell Brick that she is starting to have feelings for him. Buttercup gets a date to the party, who happens to have a complicated past with Maxine. And Tyler uses his date to make Bubbles jealous.
