A few hours later at Grant High...

Kathy was anxiously waiting for Chase in the drama room. Since it was Friday the drama club didn't have a meeting after school. A few minutes later Chase walked in.

"What took you so long?" Kathy asked a little irritated.

"I had to go to my locker...So...why did you want to meet me here?" Chase asked concerned.

"I thought it would be...fun if we...you know...In here..." Kathy smirked as she moved closer to Chase.

"Damn...Kathy...I didn't know you had a bad side to you. I like it." Chase said as he smiled slowly and put his hands on Kathy's waist.

"Heh...You wanted me to prove that I want to have fun with you, right?" Kathy said honestly.

"Yeah...But what if someone walks in?" Chase asked worried.

"They won't...I got the keys..." Kathy said sweetly as she pulled the keys out of her pocket.

"What? How did you get them?" Chase asked shocked.

"I told Mrs. Johnson that I would clean the drama room for her after school. She had to pick up her kids from school." Kathy said nicely.

"But...you don't do drama?" Chase said confused.

"True but I am next semester...For you..." Kathy smiled slowly as her cheeks turned red.

"Mmm...That's hot...But why did Mrs. Johnson let you clean the drama room?" Chase said seductively and then seriously.

"I told her that I needed service hours for my government project...I'm not even taking government until next semester...Heh..." Kathy said honestly.

"Oh man...You're a good liar...Ha...But are you sure that you want to do this?" Chase said concerned.

"Yes. I want you." Kathy said confidently and she gave Chase a long kiss.

"Aaaah...But what about Ethan?" Chase said as he broke their kiss.

"How could I be with Ethan when you're all I think about?" Kathy said seductively and she gave Chase another long kiss.

Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...

"This is delicious hun." Omar said happily.

"Thanks...It's my Mom's recipe...She always made the best tacos when I was younger...You want some more chips and salsa?" Adrian said sweetly.

"Yes please. So...how was your day?" Omar asked nicely as Adrian passed him a white bowl of salsa and a bag of tortilla chips.

"Oh...My day was pretty good...I did well on my government test...Heh...Thanks for helping me study last night." Adrian said happily.

"Heh...It was my pleasure...History isn't my strongest subject but...government is pretty interesting. Did you see Amy and Ben?" Omar asked intrigued as he ate some chips with salsa.

"I didn't see Amy and Ben today...But I did run into...Max." Adrian said awkwardly.

"Max? At school?" Omar asked surprised.

"Yeah...He's going to try and get a job there working security...I even saw my one of my old high school counselors there the other day...I used to have a crush on him...Heh...He hasn't changed a bit." Adrian said honestly.

"Oh...That's good...You had a crush on your school counselor?" Omar said concerned as he lifted one of his eye brows.

"I did...I actually wanted to sleep with him...Thank God I didn't cause...that probably would have gotten him fired...And he's married so..." Adrian said sadly.

"Man...Is there not a guy that you didn't want to sleep with when you were in high school? At least you're faithful to me now." Omar said a little irritated and then calmly.

"Uh...Calm down Omar. It's not like I slept with every guy I met...And I'm glad that I'm faithful to you too...Sleeping around hurt me a lot..." Adrian said seriously.

"Yeah...I know...Sorry for getting upset...I love you." Omar said honestly.

"I love you too...After I ran into Max...I asked him to get lunch sometime..." Adrian said nicely and then nervously.

"Why?" Omar said worried.

"I think we need to talk...About the crazy stuff that he did..." Adrian said a little irritated.

"Shouldn't I talk with both of you? He keyed my car." Omar said stubbornly.

"I know...but...He did it because of me." Adrian said sadly.

"That's true...I trust you if you want to talk to him without me...Or he could come over here tomorrow for lunch." Omar said honestly.

"So you don't trust me?" Adrian said a little irritated.

"Don't be crazy, Adrian...Of course I trust you but I want to talk to Max too. I'll invite him over if you want." Omar said sincerely.

"Whatever...His number is in my phone if you want to have him over tomorrow..." Adrian said annoyed as she put her dishes in the sink and then she gave Omar her phone.

Meanwhile on the plane that Ben, Amy, and John were on...

"Mmm...How close are we?" Amy said sleepily as she rubbed her eyes.

"We're about half way there...I haven't been able to sleep...I'm going to be so jet lagged..." Ben said seriously.

"Me too...It's ok Ben...We're only three hours ahead of them...Ugh...I think Ashley is already there..." Amy said a little irritated.

"Yeah...Heh...Are you excited to see your family though?" Ben said nicely.

"I am...I haven't seen them since August...It's going to be hard seeing Mimsy though..." Amy said sadly.

"I know...I'm here to help you through this Amy..." Ben said sweetly as he held Amy's hand.

"Thank you Ben...I love you." Amy smiled slowly and she gave Ben a short kiss.

"I love you too." Ben said happily as he broke the kiss.

"Amy? Ben?" Lauren said shocked as she walked over to them.

"Hey Lauren. What are you doing here?" Amy asked surprised.

"I'm flying back to California with Dante...Our break is over. What are you two doing here?" Lauren said nicely.

"We're flying to California too...Mimsy's dying..." Amy said sadly.

"Oh Amy...I'm so sorry...I should probably get back to my seat...Dante's passed out and there's an extra seat if you want to talk." Lauren said sincerely.

"Thanks Lauren...I would like to talk...I tried sleeping but it didn't really work...Heh...I'll see you and John later Ben." Amy said sweetly as she looked at Lauren and then Ben.

"Yeah...Hopefully John will stay asleep..." Ben smiled as Amy got out of her seat and she walked with Lauren to her seat.

"So...How have you been Lauren? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever...I know that I saw you last weekend but..." Amy said kindly.

"I know what you mean...I've been doing really well...I have an awesome guy and school is really great." Lauren said happily.

"Aww! I'm so happy for you! Dante seems really nice...And he's pretty cute but...not as cute as Ben of course." Amy grinned.

"Thanks...Ha ha! No Ben is cute in a dorky way I guess...So how was your trip with him to Niagara Falls?" Lauren said kindly.

"It was amazing! We had so much fun. I hope we go again soon. You should defiantly go there sometime. And I had a great birthday too...We also...had a great time last night too." Amy said happily and she smirked.

"I'm happy to hear that. What did you two do last night?" Lauren asked intrigued.

"We...you know..." Amy said quietly with a big smile on her face.

"Oh...You two had sex?" Lauren asked awkwardly.

"Yeah...For the second time and...it was just incredible...I can't wait to do it with him again." Amy said happily.

"Ok...That's really great but...didn't you have sex with Ricky a lot?" Lauren said concerned.

"Uh...Sort of...What does that have to do with Ben?" Amy asked intrigued.

"Well, it just seems like...you were in lust with Ricky and I think that's partly why you broke up with him..." Lauren said honestly.

"So you think that I'm just in lust with Ben? Don't be ridiculous Lauren...I've always loved Ben...Except when he made some pretty dumb decisions..." Amy said seriously.

"No but...I just don't understand why you think that you need to have sex when you're in a relationship. I'm perfectly fine without it for now." Lauren said worried.

"Really? I'm surprised cause if I were you...I would be all over Dante. Heh...But the truth is, I don't think I need to have sex with Ben...We want to do it and someday we are going to get married. Before you judge me in your smart alec tone, I know that I said I would marry Ricky and I didn't...But that's because I don't love him like how I love Ben." Amy said honestly.

"Heh...Thanks for the advice Amy...I hope you do marry Ben someday cause he has always loved you...And I think I do love Dante...We haven't been together for that long but...I do love him." Lauren said happily.

"No problem...And I have to say that I am proud of you...for not feeling pressured to have sex just because your friends were doing it...I don't ever want to pressure you Lauren...I'm glad you love Dante too." Amy said sweetly.

"Aww! Thanks Amy! I defiantly did learn from yours and Madison's mistakes..." Lauren said kindly and she gave Amy a hug.

Meanwhile at the butcher shop...

Ricky was filling in orders when he saw Joe eating a steak.

"Hey Joe! What are you doing? We're not allowed to eat meat for the customers." Ricky said a little irritated as he walked over to Joe.

"What? I'm hungry...I can't just have one?" Joe said after taking a bite.

"Ugh...I guess...At least Bunny isn't here...If she was, you would be in big trouble...Just get back to work..." Ricky said annoyed.

"All right...Sorry Ricky." Joe said sadly as he finished his steak and then he walked back over to the meat locker.

A few minutes later Kathy walked into the butcher shop with Chase.

"Hey Ricky...Can we get two steaks to go please?" Kathy said sweetly.

"Uh...Sure Kathy..." Ricky said awkwardly as he pulled out two steaks.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" Ethan said angrily as he walked over to them.

"We're going out tonight..." Chase smirked.

"Are you serious?" Ethan said shocked.

"Um...Actually we can't go out tonight, Chase...I have to see Amy..." Kathy said seriously.

"Oh...It's totally cool..." Chase smiled slowly.

"Amy? What's going on?" Ethan asked confused.

"Here are your steaks...That will be ten dollars...And Amy's coming back tonight with Ben and John...Her grandma's dying..." Ricky said nicely and then sadly.

"Thanks dude..." Chase said nicely as he gave Ricky a ten dollar bill.

"Let's go Chase...See you later Ethan." Kathy said sadly as she walked out of the butcher shop with Chase.

"Is that the guy that you were talking about?" Ricky asked worried.

"Yeah...That's him...Ugh...I can't believe this...Kathy fell for him...I'm the guy that she's supposed to be with..." Ethan said stubbornly.

"Oh man...You sound just like Ben...He always thought that..." Ricky said awkwardly.

"That he belonged with Amy and you didn't? I remember all the crazy drama that went on with you guys last spring..." Ethan said seriously as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah...It doesn't matter anymore...You can't help it if Kathy likes Chase...Maybe she'll come back to you..." Ricky said honestly.

"I doubt it...Look at him...He's so much better looking than me and...Kathy seems really happy with him..." Ethan said in a depressed tone.

"Heh...Looks come and go Ethan...I thought I was on top of the world because a bunch of girls fell for me because of my looks...But it hurt me for a long time because...so many of them didn't love me for who I am...But Grace does...And just because Kathy is happy with Chase now, doesn't mean she will be later. Don't sweat it...Ok?" Ricky said sincerely.

"Thanks Ricky...I really appreciate you helping me." Ethan smiled slowly and he went back over to the gift baskets.

Meanwhile upstairs Grace was working on a literature paper when she got an email from Tom.

"What is this?" Grace said surprised as she opened up the email. Next she clicked on the attachment and a video opened up of Kathleen and Jeff having dinner.

"Ugh...Why did Tom send me this?" Grace said annoyed as she rolled her eyes and then she played the video.

"Everything was amazing Kathleen...Thank you." Jeff said nicely.

"You are very welcome...I'm glad you dropped by...I've missed you." Kathleen said happily.

"Heh...I've missed you too but...I wanted to apologize for marrying you and then...leaving you, Grace, and Tom...It was a very selfish thing to do..." Jeff said honestly.

"It's ok Jeff...You wanted to go to Africa for your job...And if you hadn't left, I don't think I would have ended up with George again...I'm really happy with him." Kathleen said kindly.

"Thanks for your forgiveness...You're too sweet...I'm glad that you're happy with George...He's a great guy..." Jeff said smiling.

"Well...I don't think I could have moved on if I didn't forgive you. Are you with someone?" Kathleen asked intrigued.

"Yeah I am...Her name's Nancy and she's really great...I'm sure that she would love to meet you and George. We should all have dinner sometime." Jeff said nicely.

"Oh...Yeah...That would be really great...Just let me know when you want to do that." Kathleen said happily.

"Sounds good...I should get going." Jeff said kindly.

"Hmm...I don't know about this...I sure hope that Jeff isn't with...No..." Grace said a little irritated to herself and then the video showed another clip. It was her and Jack on the first night that they first had sex.

"Oh my Lord!" Grace said shocked as her eyes widened.

"Are you sure about this?" Jack asked honestly.

"I'm sure...I'm absolutely sure." Grace said smiling and then Jack got on top of her.

"Hang on a second Grace...I need to get the condom out..." Jack said seriously.

"Oh..right...We defiantly need that...I can't believe Adrian tried to stop us from doing this." Grace said a little irritated.

"Heh...Me either...She has sex so I don't get why she cares if you do it..." Jack said seriously as he took the condom out of his pocket.

"I know...I don't think she understands how much we love each other...I don't think she's ever loved any guy that she's slept with...Except maybe Ricky..." Grace said honestly.

"Yeah...All right...Let's get started." Jack said seductively and started to kiss Grace slowly.

"Ugh...At least he didn't record the entire thing...Why would he send me that?" Grace said irritated as she closed the video.

Woah! How far did Kathy and Chase go in the drama room? Are Adrian and Omar going to have lunch with Max? How are things going to go with Amy and everyone when they're in California? Is she too excited about having sex with Ben? Will Ethan try to interfere with Kathy and Chase or will he listen to Ricky? Is Ricky feeling a little anxious about Amy coming back? Is Grace too worried about Kathleen and Jeff? And why did Tom send her a video of the night that she first slept with Jack? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
