Ethan walked into his English class and he sat in front of Kathy.
"Hey Ethan...Are you ok?" Kathy said concerned.
"No...Are you going to the dance with Chase?" Ethan said a little irritated as he turned in his seat to face Kathy.
"Uh...Who told you that?" Kathy said surprised.
"So it's true...I can't even look at you." Ethan said sternly and he turned back around.
"Ethan...I was going to the dance with Chase as a friend but...I won't go if you want." Kathy said honestly.
"What? He said that you would go to the dance with him if I don't help him with a paper." Ethan said confused.
"Ugh...Chase is an idiot...He didn't say anything to me about a paper." Kathy said annoyed as she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever you say...Mrs. Keyston is coming back." Ethan said quietly.
A few hours later in New York...
Adrian was walking out of class and she called Grace.
"Hey Adrian...I'm at lunch...Did you need something?" Grace said sweetly as she answered her phone.
"Oh...I kind of have a problem that I haven't told Omar about." Adrian said concerned.
"What kind of problem?" Grace said intrigued.
"So Casey got me that internship job...The problem is that I would have to do it in LA." Adrian said seriously.
"Wow! Congrats I guess...Do you not want to do it?" Grace said surprised and then worried.
"I want to do it but not in LA...Plus I'm going to have a baby soon...I just don't know how it will work." Adrian said honestly.
"Hmm...I think you should talk to Omar about it...Maybe he could get a job in LA for the summer...I know that you want to be with him after you have the baby." Grace said kindly.
"And how would Omar get a job just for the summer? He already has a full time job...Maybe I should do it next summer." Adrian said a little irritated.
"I'm just trying to help...And I thought you really wanted to do it this summer." Grace said defensively.
"Sorry...I do want to but...how am I going to work with a newborn baby?" Adrian said concerned.
"I don't know...Maybe you should ask Amy that one...You're smart, Adrian...Why can't you figure it out?" Grace said sternly.
"I just thought you could help me figure out what to do...You are my best friend...Is there something wrong?" Adrian said seriously.
"That's true...I'm sorry...Jack and I made up last night." Grace said sincerely.
"Really?" Adrian said surprised.
"Yes...It made Ricky happy...But...he's not sure if he wants to be a minister." Grace said concerned.
"Why is that?" Adrian said intrigued.
"He thinks that he could be a professional athlete...I'm not sure about that." Grace said sadly.
"Ha ha ha! I can't believe he said that! There's no way Jack could be a professional athlete...He's not that good at football." Adrian said as she laughed.
"Yeah...Me either...Um...He also asked me why I kissed you...It was very weird." Grace said nervously.
"Oh my...That's so awkward...Is he still turned on by that?" Adrian said worried.
"Probably...I really don't care...I just hope that he ends up where God wants him to be...He seems happy with Chloe too." Grace said honestly.
"Me too...Heh...And are you glad that he's happy with Chloe?" Adrian said nicely.
"Of course I am...He deserves her just like I deserve Ricky...We had a great night." Grace said sweetly.
"Yes you do...I'm glad you two had a great night...What did you do?" Adrian said as she smirked.
"Kissed in the rain...It was really romantic...And Ricky acted a little strange when he came home...I don't know why." Grace said happily and then concerned.
"Woah...It sounds like you two have done almost everything except sleep together...Maybe he acted strange because he got you something." Adrian said kindly and then suspiciously.
"Heh...Not everything...I doubt Ricky got me something...He said that he gave Ethan a gift card for working for him...I need to get to class soon." Grace said as she smiled and then seriously.
"Whatever you say, chica...I hope you have a good class...I need to get going home and cook dinner." Adrian said nicely.
"Thank Adrian but...before you go...do you really like being married?" Grace said kindly and then intrigued.
"Of course I do...It's not always easy but I do enjoy it...More than I thought I would...However, you shouldn't get married just because you can...You should do it because you love the other person more than yourself and you want to marry them and be committed to them for the rest of your life." Adrian said seriously.
"I know that...Thank you...I'll talk to you later...Good luck with Omar." Grace said sweetly.
"No problem, Grace...Talk to you later." Adrian said kindly and she hung up.
Meanwhile at Ricky's school...
Ricky walked out of class and he bumped into Haley.
"Hey Haley...Sorry about that." Ricky said kindly.
"Don't worry about it, drummer boy...Weren't you in the band here?" Haley said nicely.
"I was but I quit since I don't really have time for it...How are you?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Pretty good except...my boyfriend went out to a party last night without me...At Berkeley...I hope he isn't cheating on me." Haley said concerned.
"Who's your boyfriend?" Ricky said seriously as they sat on a bench.
"Jesse...He's one of Jack's friends...Do you know him?" Haley said kindly.
"Kind of...I doubt he would cheat on you...Since you're so beautiful." Ricky said as he smiled.
"Thanks Ricky but I know how most guys work...They'll want you for one reason and then they'll dump you as soon as they find someone that they like better." Haley said sadly.
"Gee, thanks...That makes me feel really good...Girls can be like that too." Ricky said sarcastically and then worried.
"Heh...Sorry...I said most guys...You're a good one now and Grace is really lucky to have you...Maybe I should find someone like you." Haley said sincerely.
"If you want to do that, then go for it...Nobody's stopping you...I'm sure you'll find a great guy...And you're right about Grace." Ricky said honestly.
"Thank you...But I'll find out what Jesse did at the party first...Later." Haley said sweetly and she got off the bench.
"So...You're hitting on Haley now?" Clementine said concerned from behind Ricky.
"Clementine? When did you get here?" Ricky said surprised as he stood up from the bench.
"I was watching you two from the library...I couldn't help it." Clementine said honestly.
"Oh...I didn't know you could be a stalker...Heh...I was just giving her some advice." Ricky said kindly.
"Ha ha...Very funny...That makes sense you would give her advice since you're such an expert after becoming a dad at a young age and letting the love of your life slip through your finger tips." Clementine said as she smiled and then seriously.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Face it, Ricky...You had the family that you always wanted and now...they're happy in New York...with Ben." Clementine said sternly.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ricky said a little irritated.
"I'm just being honest...I don't get how you could let that happen...You almost married Amy." Clementine said firmly as she crossed her arms.
"And why do you care? You had sex with Jack...How did you let that happen?" Ricky said defensively as he raised his voice.
"Uh...That's different." Clementine said awkwardly.
"Is it? You're criticizing me for letting Amy leave me? I didn't love her...Who the hell do you think you are?" Ricky said cruelly as his face turned red.
"I'm really sor-" Clementine started sincerely but Ricky turned his back to her.
"Just forget it...I don't need your pity." Ricky said sternly and he walked towards the parking lot.
"Hey Clementine...What was that about?" Jack said concerned from behind her.
"Shut up Jack...I need to get to work." Clementine said sadly as she wiped her eyes.
"What in God's name is going on around here?" Jack said surprised to himself and he walked towards the fitness center.
A couple hours later in New York...
"We're finally home...What an amazing trip!" Amy said relieved as she put her suitcase on the floor.
"I know...It feels good to be back...But we have to go back to school tomorrow." Ben said nicely.
"Yeah but it shouldn't be too bad...John's really sleepy." Amy said sweetly.
"I'll put him to bed." Ben said smiling and he picked up John and carried him into his room.
After Amy took her jacket and shoes off her phone rang.
"Hey Kathy...How are you?" Amy said kindly.
"I'm doing all right...So...Ethan knows about Chase." Kathy said sadly.
"You didn't tell him about the dance?" Amy said surprised.
"Not exactly...Chase did...Ugh...He wants Ethan to help him write a paper." Kathy said annoyed.
"What does that have to do with anything? Just don't go to the dance." Amy said seriously.
"Yeah...About that...I think I'm attracted to Chase again." Kathy said awkwardly.
"Are you serious?" Amy said surprised.
"Yes...He's just so cute...And I want to dance with him." Kathy said sweetly.
"Geeze, Kathy...I thought you loved Ethan...What are you doing?" Amy said a little irritated.
"I do but...I could fall for Chase...You fell for Ben again after being with Ricky." Kathy said seriously.
"Yeah but that's different because I love Ben...I married him...You're just infatuated with Chase...There's a difference between us." Amy said honestly.
"True but...I can't help it, Amy! My hormones go crazy when I see him or talk to him." Kathy said nicely.
"Of course they do...But don't you know Ethan really loves you? Chase cheated on you." Amy said sternly.
"I know but he said that he really likes me." Kathy said seriously.
"Forget it then...Do what you want." Amy said annoyed.
"I'm sorry Amy...How was Vegas?" Kathy said kindly.
"Don't worry about it, Kathy...Vegas was a lot of fun...Thank you for the wedding gift too...I love the pan you got us and gift card." Amy said sweetly.
"You're welcome...I bet Vegas was a lot of fun...Heh...I have some homework to do though." Kathy said nicely.
"All right...I'll talk to you later...Bye." Amy said smiling and she hung up.
"John's finally asleep...Do you want some pie? There's some in the fridge." Ben said happily as he walked into the kitchen.
"Sure...I am hungry." Amy said kindly as she sat at the kitchen table.
"Are you all right?" Ben said concerned as he took the pie out of the fridge.
"Yeah...I'm fine...Just tired...Kathy might get back with Chase." Amy said worried.
"Really? Why would she do that?" Ben said surprised as he cut a piece of cherry pie for him and Amy.
"She's attracted to him...I don't blame her but...Ethan loves her." Amy said honestly as Ben gave her a piece of pie.
"This sounds familiar...Didn't you do the same thing with Ricky when you loved me?" Ben said sarcastically as he smiled.
"Heh...That's not the same because of John...But you're right...I was attracted to Ricky when I loved you in high school." Amy said seriously as she took a bite of her pie.
"Yeah...I'm sure Kathy will figure out who she wants to be with somehow." Ben said kindly.
"I hope so...She's like another younger sister to me...Hopefully she'll be all right." Amy said sweetly.
"Me too...You're so sweet." Ben said as he smirked and he gave Amy a long kiss.
Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...
"Are you all right? You've been pretty quiet." Omar said worried as he sat next to Adrian on the couch.
"I'm fine...I just...have to tell you something." Adrian said seriously as she looked at Omar.
"What is it?" Omar said intrigued.
"Casey got me that internship job in LA." Adrian said honestly.
"That's amazing babe! Congrats!" Omar said happily and he gave Adrian a hug.
"Thanks but...it's in LA." Adrian said concerned.
"Right...For the summer?" Omar said seriously.
"Yes...How are we going to do that? You have to work here all summer." Adrian said worried.
"Shoot...I didn't think about that...Plus we'll have the baby...Maybe Casey could get you a job here somehow." Omar said intrigued.
"How? I accepted the job in LA." Adrian said sadly.
"We'll figure it out...It's not something that we have to worry about right now." Omar said kindly.
"Yeah...I just...don't know what to do." Adrian said honestly.
"It's ok, Adrian...We'll make it work." Omar said as he smiled and rubbed Adrian's back.
"Thanks Omar...I really want to work this summer but...I kind of wish we were more careful." Adrian said seriously.
"I know but...I thought you were excited about being a mom." Omar said surprised.
"I am but...I just don't feel ready to be one right now." Adrian said sadly.
"What are you talking about? We've been excited to be parents since the fall...An internship job isn't going to change that, right?" Omar said honestly.
"Yeah...Maybe I'm over thinking it." Adrian said as she smiled.
"I thought you were...Heh...Maybe this will help you feel better." Omar said kindly and he gave Adrian a long kiss.
"Mmm...I love you." Adrian said sweetly as she put her hands on Omar's neck.
"I love you too." Omar said happily and he kissed her again.
Meanwhile at Jack's dorm...
Jack finished his homework and he called Ben.
"Hey Jack...What's up? It's pretty late here." Ben said kindly as he answered his phone.
"I know man...Sorry but I was wondering how your honeymoon was." Jack said nicely.
"You're fine...Amy and are about to fall asleep...Vegas is awesome...You should go there with Chloe...You two would have a lot of fun." Ben said happily.
"Cool...Vegas does sound like fun...But I was wondering has Chloe talked to you about Grant?" Jack said smiling and then concerned.
"No but I did see them talking at my wedding...They're probably just friends...She loves you, right?" Ben said honestly.
"I hope so...And Chloe does love me and I love her." Jack said seriously.
"That's great...If you ever need advice about Chloe, just let me know...I know her pretty well even though we've been siblings for only a couple years." Ben said kindly.
"Thanks Ben...I think we're good for now though...How does it feel to be married to Amy for real?" Jack said nicely and then intrigued.
"No problem...It feels amazing...We couldn't be happier...Except for going back to school tomorrow...Ha ha...Hopefully we won't have too much homework to catch up on." Ben said happily.
"That's awesome...You two are smart so I'm sure you'll be fine...I gotta get ready for bed so I'll talk to you later." Jack said nicely.
"All right...It was nice to hear from you, Jack...Good night." Ben said kindly.
"Yeah...The wedding was amazing by the way...Good night." Jack said smiling.
"I'll never forget it...Bye Jack." Ben said sleepily.
"Bye Ben." Jack hung up and there was a knock on the door. Jack opened the door and he was surprised to see Clementine.
"Hey Jack...I'm sorry I didn't call...Can I come in?" Clementine said nicely.
"Sure...What's going on?" Jack said intrigued as Clementine walked in his room.
"I'm really sorry for being rude to you earlier...Ricky got upset with me." Clementine said sincerely as she sat on Jack's bed.
"I thought so...Did you say something mean to him?" Jack said concerned as he sat next to Clementine.
"Yeah...I gave him crap about letting Amy leave him...I didn't mean it." Clementine said honestly.
"Oh...That's rough...Aren't you Ricky's friend?" Jack said seriously.
"I am...But that doesn't matter...He might never talk to me again...I only said that because Daniel is going to Africa for the summer...And he isn't sure if he wants to stay with me." Clementine said sadly.
"Wow...Good for him but why wouldn't he stay with you?" Jack said intrigued.
"I don't know...Maybe if he meets someone else there...Like Grace." Clementine said concerned.
"Well...He would be an ass for leaving you...You're gorgeous." Jack said kindly.
"Heh...Thanks Jack...But you have Chloe." Clementine said as she blushed and smiled.
"Yeah...But that doesn't mean we can't be friends." Jack said honestly.
"You're right...Besides, maybe Daniel and I will work out." Clementine said nicely.
"Maybe...I need to get ready for bed." Jack said kindly.
"All right...Good night Jack." Clementine said sweetly.
"Do you want to spend the night? It is after eleven." Jack said concerned.
"Um...I don't think that's appropriate." Clementine said awkwardly.
"I can sleep on the couch...Do you not trust me?" Jack said seriously.
"Heh...I do trust you but...I would rather sleep in my bed...Thanks for the offer though." Clementine said kindly.
"If you insist...Good night Clementine." Jack said nicely as he took his shirt off.
"Night...See ya around campus." Clementine said smiling and she left Jack's dorm.
Meanwhile at Ricky's apartment...
"It feels so good to lay down." Grace said happily as she laid in bed next to Ricky.
"Yeah...Did you have a good day at work?" Ricky said intrigued as he put an arm around Grace.
"I did...I gave a kid an STD test...She was like fourteen...I couldn't believe it." Grace said seriously.
"That's crazy...It seems like kids keep having sex at younger ages these days...Ethan even asked me if he should sleep with Kathy during their spring break...I can't believe him." Ricky said honestly.
"Wow...Do you think they'll do it?" Grace said worried.
"Who knows...If he does, then I'm not gonna help him when he gets his heart broken." Ricky said a little irritated.
"And why would that happen? Kathy loves him." Grace said concerned.
"That's what I thought but they're only sixteen and...Amy texted me earlier...She said that Kathy wants to go to the senior dance with Chase." Ricky said seriously.
"Oh...Are they going as friends? I went with Jack when I was with Daniel." Grace said intrigued.
"I don't know...I just hope Ethan doesn't get hurt again...He also told me at work that Chase wants him to do a paper for him for a hundred dollars." Ricky said concerned.
"What? That's not right...I can't believe Chase would do that...What did you tell Ethan?" Grace said surprised.
"Yeah...I told him to not do it unless he wants to get in trouble...If he does it, I will tell Margaret and he'll be grounded...Heh...I hope John isn't this bad when he's a teenager." Ricky said firmly as he smiled.
"Hopefully Ethan will listen to you...And I think John will be a good kid as a teenager...He's so adorable...Just like you." Grace said sweetly.
"Ha ha...He sure is...And he's growing pretty quick too." Ricky said happily.
"Yeah...But...was the night he was conceived...Was that your first time?" Grace said nervously.
"No it wasn't...My first time was when I was fifteen at band camp...I sneaked a girl named Amber into my cabin and it just happened...We were very careful...Of course it didn't mean anything cause I didn't love her...It's hard to believe that I used to be like that." Ricky said honestly.
"I know...I'm really proud of you for changing so much, Ricky...And a cabin sounds romantic...Heh...Did you have a room mate?" Grace said nicely.
"It wasn't that romantic...My room mate was in another cabin that night...Heh...I heard that your first time was really good." Ricky said kindly.
"Uh...It was until...my Mom and Tom got home...That was the worst night of my life...I try to just forget about it...Jack and I were a mess in high school." Grace said honestly.
"I'm sorry for bringing it up but you asked about my first time...And I'm really glad that you two are going to be friends again." Ricky said sincerely.
"Thanks...I am too." Grace said smiling as she snuggled closer to Ricky.
"Good night Grace...Love you." Ricky said happily as he closed his eyes.
"I love you too Ricky." Grace said sweetly as she closed her eyes.
The next day at Grant High...
Kathy was eating lunch and Ethan sat next to her.
"Hey Kathy...I've been thinking about the dance and...if you want to go, then go...I trust you." Ethan said honestly.
"Are you sure Ethan?" Kathy said surprised.
"Yes I'm sure...If you don't do anything with Chase, then I'll sleep with you on the beach." Ethan said nicely as he smirked.
"Oh wow...That is so romantic...I won't do anything...Chase and I are definitely just friends." Kathy said happily as her cheeks turned red.
"Yeah...It will be really special...I love you so much, Kathy." Ethan said kindly.
"I love you too, Ethan." Kathy said sweetly and Ethan gave her a long kiss.
"Mmm...You taste like an apple." Ethan said as he smiled and licked his lips.
"Ha ha...I did just eat one...Are you going to help Chase with his paper?" Kathy said sweetly.
"Hell no...It's not worth the money...I have a job for crying out loud...He can ask someone else to do it." Ethan said annoyed.
"Yeah but...that's not right...Don't you think we should tell the principal?" Kathy said concerned.
"Of course not...Why would he believe us? We don't have any proof." Ethan said a little irritated.
"That's true...He's probably dumb enough to get caught anyway...I don't know what I saw in him besides his model looks." Kathy said seriously.
"Me either...I'm glad you want to stay with me." Ethan said happily.
"I feel the same way." Kathy said nicely and she gave Ethan a long kiss.
Meanwhile in New York...
Adrian was walking out of class when she saw Amy and Ben walk out of the library.
"Hey guys! You're back!" Adrian said happily and she gave Ben and Amy a hug after running over to them.
"Yeah...It feels good to be back." Ben said kindly.
"It does...How are you, Adrian?" Amy said nicely.
"I'm doing all right...I got an internship job in LA for the summer." Adrian said seriously.
"Wow! That's really exciting Adrian!" Ben said happily.
"Congrats! When's the baby due?" Amy said sweetly.
"Thanks...The baby is due in June...I'm not sure how Omar and I are going to make it work." Adrian said concerned.
"Oh yeah...That's going to be rough...Is Omar going to work here?" Ben said intrigued.
"Of course he is...Maybe I should wait until next summer to do the internship...What do you two think?" Adrian said honestly.
"Well...I think you should do whatever makes you happy...This job could help you get a career as a lawyer...You never know...I would take advantage of it...I went to school, worked, and had a baby...I think you could manage it, Adrian...You're really smart." Amy said kindly.
"Thanks Amy...But I don't want to be separated from Omar for a whole summer...I want to raise our baby together." Adrian said seriously.
"Of course you don't...Heh...You two are married so that makes sense...I don't want work to separate Amy and me...Maybe you could get another job around here." Ben said nicely.
"Yeah but I already accepted the other job...One of Omar's old high school friends got me it...She's really nice." Adrian said worried.
"Hmm...If she's nice, I'm sure she'll understand if you decline the job...Good luck, Adrian...We have to get to class." Amy said sweetly.
"Thanks for your advice guys...Omar thinks I don't need to worry about it now but I can't help it...We'll figure it out...See ya later." Adrian said kindly.
"No problem...See ya, Adrian." Ben said smiling and he grabbed Amy's hand and they walked to class.
Meanwhile at Ricky's school...
Ricky walked into the coffee shop and he saw Clementine with Jack. After he got a cup of coffee, he sat next to them.
"Hey guys...How are you?" Ricky said intrigued.
"We're doing good...How are you, Ricky?" Jack said nicely.
"I'm good...but tired." Ricky said awkwardly as he looked at Clementine.
"Me too...I'm really sorry about yesterday...I didn't mean all those things I said...I was feeling upset because of Daniel and I took it out on you." Clementine said sincerely.
"I forgive you...I should have figured something was going on with you yesterday...What did Daniel do?" Ricky said kindly.
"He's going to Africa in the summer and he isn't sure if he wants to stay with me." Clementine said concerned.
"Really? Maybe you should dump him." Ricky said surprised.
"That's what I was thinking...You could find someone better." Jack said nicely.
"Thanks guys but I love him...That's what makes this so hard." Clementine said sadly.
"Well...If he's willing to leave you, then I don't think he loves you." Ricky said seriously.
"Ricky's right...If Daniel loved you, he would want to stay with you no matter what." Jack said honestly.
"I don't know...I need to get to class...I'll think about it." Clementine said concerned and she left the coffee shop.
"So...Your friends with her again?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Yeah man...She came to my dorm last night to talk...It was nice." Jack said kindly.
"I bet...She's a really nice girl...Heh...I still can't believe she slept with you though." Ricky said honestly.
"Why?" Jack said surprised.
"Because you're not her type...It's not like that matters...Since you're with Chloe...What did you two talk about anyway?" Ricky said seriously.
"True...We talked about Daniel...You know...she kind of looks like Chloe...Do you think they could be related?" Jack said intrigued.
"Probably not...Clementine said she didn't have any siblings...But maybe they're cousins or something." Ricky said nicely.
"Maybe...How's Grace doing? We had a great time the other night." Jack said kindly.
"I heard that you two finally made up...Thanks...Grace's grudge over you was driving me nuts...But she's doing really good...Enjoying the clinic and school as usual." Ricky said happily.
"You're welcome...That's really good...So...you two are going to Hawaii? I overheard at the wedding." Jack said as he smiled.
"Yeah we are for spring break...I'm really excited...It will be a trip that we'll never forget." Ricky said kindly.
"For sure...Are you two going to finally do it there?" Jack said intrigued.
"Uh...That is none of your business...But it could happen." Ricky said honestly.
"Wait...You're not thinking of eloping down there, are you?" Jack said concerned.
"Don't be crazy, Jack...I need to get to class." Ricky said annoyed and he left the coffee shop.
"I knew it...He's getting closer to wanting to marry her." Jack said quietly to himself and he left the coffee shop.
Meanwhile at Berkley...
"There you are, Lauren...How was your class?" Madison said sweetly as Lauren walked into their dorm room.
"It was all right...Math bores me...How was yours?" Lauren said nicely.
"Me too...It was good...So...I saw Jesse at a party and...he was kissing Dylan." Madison said concerned.
"Oh, geeze Madison! You were stalking him?" Lauren said a little irritated.
"No...I just wanted to see him...I thought he was with Haley." Madison said sadly.
"It sounds to me like they broke up or he's cheating on her...How about you call him and find out?" Lauren said sternly.
"Oh yeah...That's a great idea! Thanks!" Madison said happily and she grabbed her phone.
"Ugh...I was being sarcastic...Are you going to stay with Jason?" Lauren said annoyed.
"Not if Jesse is available...Ha ha!" Madison said excited as she called Jesse.
"You are something else." Lauren said as she rolled her eyes while she sat on her bed.
"Hey Jesse...It's Madison...So I saw you with Dylan the other night...Are you still with Haley?" Madison said kindly.
"Hey...Oh man...I just got a little drunk...I didn't mean to kiss her." Jesse said awkwardly.
"Really? That sucks cause I was hoping you were single." Madison said annoyed.
"Sorry Madison...I thought you were with Jason anyway." Jesse said honestly.
"I am but I like you better...You're so hot and Jason is too smart for me." Madison said sweetly.
"Heh...Thanks...But I really like Haley...We have a lot in common actually." Jesse said nicely.
"Oh...That's great...Well...I guess we can be friends and if you change your mind about Haley, let me know." Madison said kindly.
"Ha ha...I will...Talk to you later Madison...I have practice soon." Jesse said smiling.
"All right...Bye Jesse...Have a good practice." Madison said happily and she hung up.
"I can't believe you...Why didn't you get with him when you had the chance?" Lauren said in a disappointed tone.
"Whatever...I thought I liked Jason but I like Jesse now...How was your night with Dante?" Madison said intrigued.
"Of course you do...Last night was really great...We had a nice dinner and watched a movie." Lauren said happily.
"That's great...I talked to Amy last night...She and Ben had a great honeymoon." Madison said nicely.
"I bet they did...Vegas sounds like fun...I still can't believe they're really married." Madison said smiling.
"Yeah...I'm really happy for them." Lauren said sweetly.
"Me too...They're so adorable...The wedding was so much fun." Madison said kindly.
"For sure...Who knows? Maybe Dante and I will be the next ones married." Lauren said happily.
"Ha ha...Maybe...I'm happy for you two...I think you're meant to be." Madison said as she smiled.
"I hope so...I love him so much!" Lauren said excited.
"Yeah...I need to go to the library so I'll see you later." Madison said nicely and she left the room. Lauren took out her history book when her phone rang.
"Hello?" Lauren said intrigued as she answered her phone.
"Hey Lauren...It's Frank...How are you?" Frank said kindly.
"Frank? It's nice to hear from you...I'm doing great...How are you?" Lauren said surprised.
"I'm doing great...I go to UCLA and I love it...Where do you go?" Frank said intrigued.
"Berkeley...I really like it...Madison is my room mate." Lauren said nicely.
"That's cool...Are you single?" Frank said as he smiled.
"No I'm not...Heh...Are you?" Lauren said sweetly.
"Yeah...It kind of stinks but at least I have a lot of time to focus on school." Frank said honestly.
"That's true...I've always done well with balancing school and my social life...I need to do some homework now." Lauren said seriously.
"Me too...If you want to hang out sometime, just text me...Madison can come too and your boyfriend if you want." Frank said happily.
"All right...I would like that...I'll talk to you later...Bye Frank." Lauren said sweetly.
"Sounds good...Bye Lauren." Frank said kindly and he hung up.
Meanwhile at the clinic...
Grace walked into a room and she saw Jason.
"Hey Jason...What are you doing here?" Grace said surprised.
"I'm here to get a shot...It's for work...I didn't know you worked here." Jason said nicely.
"Yeah...What kind of shot are you getting?" Grace said concerned.
"One of those hepatitis ones...I'm going to work in the cafeteria at school to get some money off my tuition...I get a scholarship but I thought it would help my parents since they're paying for Lauren too." Jason said nicely.
"Gotcha...That's really nice of you, Jason...The doctor should be in here soon...I need to do some paperwork." Grace said sweetly.
"Yeah...It doesn't sound too bad...Do you like working here?" Jason said kindly.
"I do...I've learned a lot about shots and filling out files as well as tests." Grace said nicely.
"That's cool...How's Ricky?" Jason said intrigued.
"He's doing great...Still working hard and he's doing good with school." Grace said kindly.
"Nice...Madison is all right...I think she might be getting bored of me." Jason said sadly.
"Aww...I'm sorry...But I wouldn't get hung up on her...She can be a little...fickle...Like how I was." Grace said sincerely.
"No kidding...I'll try not to worry about her too much." Jason said honestly as he smiled.
"All right...Grace, you need to get back to work...I'm ready for your shot, Mr. Tracy." Doctor Levings said as he walked into the room.
"Of course, sir...See you later Jason." Grace said nicely and she left the room.
As Grace walked into the hall she saw Brandon.
"Brandon? What are you doing here?" Grace said surprised.
"Hey Grace...I'm waiting on my Mom...I had to come with her because I want a new guitar for my band and I can't afford it with my own money." Brandon said nicely.
"That's cool...Is your band pretty good? What's wrong with your mom?" Grace said sweetly.
"We're really good...My Mom's getting a test for some pills...I forgot the name of them." Brandon said seriously.
"Oh...That's good I guess...How are you?" Grace said sweetly.
"I'm all right." Brandon said sadly as he looked at the floor.
"You don't look all right...What's up?" Grace said concerned.
"This might sound crazy but I'm still in love with Callie...I know she's my foster sister but I don't care." Brandon said honestly.
"Wow...Why is that?" Grace said surprised.
"I don't think you would understand...You hardly know me." Brandon said worried.
"Try me...I'm a good listener." Grace said sweetly.
"All right...I still love her because she's smart, funny, kind, sweet, and beautiful...We've helped each other a lot and...I really care about her." Brandon said seriously.
"Hmm...It does sound like you are in love with Callie...Maybe you should wait until you're both eighteen to get with her...You can do whatever you want then, right?" Grace said kindly.
"Legally, yes but...my family will probably not want us to do that...After being siblings for two years, I don't think they would approve of us being in a relationship...They didn't want us together in the first place." Brandon said a little irritated.
"That's really hard...Maybe you should find someone else." Grace said sincerely.
"I've tried to but...I love her too much." Brandon said honestly.
"What if I hooked you up with someone?" Grace said intrigued.
"You could do that?" Brandon said surprised.
"Yeah...I met a girl yesterday named Rebecca...She got tested and she seemed really sweet...She's a freshmen in high school." Grace said kindly.
"What did she get tested for?" Brandon said concerned.
"It was an STD test but it came back negative." Grace said seriously.
"That's good...I guess I could give her a shot." Brandon said nicely.
"All right! Let me get her paper and I'll give you her number." Grace said happily and she went into an office.
A couple hours later in New York...
"This dinner party is amazing." Adrian said kindly as she walked by Max with Omar.
"Thank you...I knew you would like it." Max said happily.
"Yeah...The food is awesome man." Omar said smiling.
"Thanks...I wish Shawna was here." Max said honestly.
"I bet...How's her brother?" Adrian said intrigued.
"He's getting better...Shawna should be coming back in a couple days." Max said smiling.
"That's great! I need to use the bathroom so I'll be back." Adrian said nicely and she walked towards the bathroom.
How's the rest of the dinner party going to go? Does Ethan really trust Kathy with Chase? How will their spring break go? Adrian isn't sure about the internship job...Will she turn it down because of the baby and Omar? Did Ricky get Grace something? Will Haley stay with Jesse when she finds out about Dylan? At least Clementine apologized to Ricky but will she stay with Daniel? Ben and Amy are so cute! Omar helped Adrian feel better. Should Jack worry about Chloe and Grant being friends? Will Jack's friendship with Clementine affect his relationship with Chloe? At least Ethan won't do Chase's paper and Ricky wants to help him. I thought it would be interesting for Ricky to tell Grace about his first time. Will Adrian get another job for the summer? Could Clementine and Chloe be related? Grace's and Ricky's Hawaii trip will be coming up soon! Who is Madison going to be with? Will Lauren hang out with Frank? It sounds like Jason is having second thoughts about Madison. Will Brandon give Rebecca a chance? She's based on Megan Park's character in the movie She's Too Young. At least Duncan is doing better. Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
