*Katy's POV*

I can always remember my first day of high-school like it was yesterday. Now I'm in my last week of junior year as is Rocky and Clyde. Marty is in his senior. Yep, we're all still friends and pretty close ones at that. In fact Rocky and I are dating and have been for a year. Who would've thought? Susie Johnston and I are also friends. That day we went to the mall was actually really fun and it became a frequent thing. I've changed appearance wise too. I got my braces off and grew my hair, it's down to my waist now. I also took up the whole make-up thing and, I don't mean too brag but, I'm pretty good at it. It's actually my after school and Saturday job. I work at the salon in town doing hair, make-up and nails.

It's lunch time now and Rocky and I are sitting at our table waiting for Marty and Clyde. I took lunch with me, the cafeteria don't do any vegetarian options ever since we got a new principal. He doesn't believe in all that 'baloney'. He used a fucking meat to describe it, no shocker there. I'm not a vegetarian exactly. I just don't like the taste of meat. Yeah it's wrong to kill animals for food but that's what they're breed for isn't it? There's no point in having a farm full of cows for something to look at. They aren't anything interesting unless you're into that. I'm not judging. I just have my opinion.

"So, Kate? You free to come over tonight?" Rocky smirked.

"Hmm, that depends. Are we alone?" I winked at him playfully.

"Nah, I'm left babysitting and you know how boring that can get when all Sammy Boy talks about is Millie."

"He's not a baby so it's not 'babysitting'," he held his hands up in defense, "but yeah, I'll be 'round at maybe 7?"

"Working again?" Marty asked taking a seat across from me. I just replied with a 'mhm' and got back to my peaches. Susie soon joined us giving Clyde a kiss on the cheek as she sat down. Oh, did I forget to mention they go out? My bad. We carried out a normal, well as normal as we get, conversation until the bell went. The rest of school went by in a flash. I had to go straight to work after school so I didn't get to walk home with the guys today. Susie worked in the bakery just beside the salon so we walked to work together.

"So how's you and Clyde?" I started conversation, it's be a while since we had a boy chat.

"Fine, still not done it yet though." She giggled as I cringed.

"Yeah, didn't want to know that about my brother."

"Sorry, what about you and Rocky? You two had sex yet?"

"Dude," I slapped her her playfully, "but yes, we have. Not just once either." I smirked.

"Kat, you have to give me the details."

"Gross, people actually do that?" She laughed. This was our stop. "I'll see you tomorrow at school then."

"Actually, I'm not at school for the rest of the week. I'm leaving for Tenerife in the morning."

"Right yeah, I forgot. Well I'll see you when you get back." We hugged goodbye and I went to work.

-Time Skip-

I got off my bike outside Rocky's basement window, which is also his bedroom window. I looked through it to see both Rocky and Sam sitting on the bed. Sam was holding an ice pack to his face. I knocked twice on the window to let them know someone was coming in. I peered open the window and was able to here the conversation they were having more clearly.

"...like it was breathing, like saying something, like it was saying 'Rocky you gotta do something about what's been going on.'" He sat up to look at Sam checking that he was still listening. I walked over to the bed and took a seat beside Rocky, who kissed me 'hello'.

"Hey Sammy, what happened to you?" Rocky went into his his bedside drawer and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

"That asshole George Tooney beat me because I touched his precious camera." He sighed. I shook my head.

"The guy's a jerk." Rocky put a smoke in his mouth and lit it, only to have me steal it. American Spirits menthol my favorite.

"Yeah, something's gotta happen Sam," he took out another cigarette, "something's gotta give."

"We can call the police." Sam suggested.

"Police won't do jack." I said as I exhaled.

"I wish - I was bigger." Rocky nudged his little brother with his foot.

"Bigger? Just have to mention the fact I'm smarter." I laughed at Rocky who also nudged me.

"If you do something he'll just get you." George Tooney gets Rocky Maris. That's a headline you'll never see. Sam removed his makeshift ice pack from his face. My eyes widened, his black eye is worse than what I thought. I stubbed out the rest of my cigarette and moved to sit beside him.

"You ever use to get me? When we played hide and seek?" He smirked, I use to play hid and seek with them too. Sammy shook his head and said no. I grabbed his face to inspect his bruise. "He wouldn't have any better luck." He paused to take a drag. "Wanna know my secret hiding spot?" Sam and I look at him for an explanation as to why he was always lost. "The roof." He smiled that cheeky smile I fell for.

"Ana disappearing man." Sam said amused.

"Exactly."

"You sneaky bastard." I shook my head, smiling. Sam smiled thoughtfully and put the ice pack back on his face. Rocky sighed and looked at his brother.

"I'll go have my bath and leave you two alone." He got up and left, shutting the door behind him. Rocky moved over patting the space beside him. I crawled up and lay beside him, he put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer.

"So do you want to plot revenge on him?"

"Why don't we make it interesting and include Clyde and Marty? We could talk about it after school tomorrow?" I smiled up at him.

"You're not working tomorrow?" Rocky smirked.

"Not for another 2 weeks."

"Is it a plan then?" He asked climbing on top of me. I nodded biting my lip. "Yeah?" He kissed me.

"Yeah." I said nodding, then kissed him back. He wrapped my legs around his waist. I moaned into the kiss and Rocky tugged at my tee. I pulled away, "Your brother is in the house."

"Then I guess we'll have to keep quiet." He said getting up to put a sock on the door handle on the outside. I bit my lip again out of habit. He kneeled between my legs and pulled my shirt over my head, tossing it on the floor. "Now, where were we." Rocky gave me that same cheeky grin before crashing his lips onto mine.
