"Oh...fun..." Brendon muttered, unsure really of why.

"Well come on let's go I gotta find Josie..." Valone said. Mari sighed following.

Brendon sighed and followed them, falling along side of Mari looking even more exhausted than before. He nudged her with his arm, leaning on her like a crutch without ever taking his hands out of his pockets. This would have been normal for anyone else to do but seeing as Brendon was at least two heads taller than her and as big as a bear, it looked a little awkward and very uncomfortable for Maricela.

"You know...it really is unfair that you can just suddenly decided to tell another person, one of your gender for that matter, and she thinks its fine. Were as it takes me two years just to build up to the courage to admit it to you, despite the fact that you already knew. Its just not fair...You girls have it easy...guys always make fun of a guy if he acts like hes gay...Valone practically just gave you a meddle for it, were as they'd probably beat me up in gym..."

"Get real Brendon that won't be the reason they'd beat you in gym....plus I don't think we have gym here..."

"Nope no gym...for me anyway..." Valone confirmed as she saw Chris and the others and waved to them.

"Well yea...theres that. And yea...i know what you mean...they beat me up in gym when i was a kid id hate to see what they would have done if they had had a reason..." he said looking away with a reminiscent and frightened look.

Mari gave him a short hug, "Aww calm down..." Then Mari let go running over to all her friends and their boys to give them her news.

Misa laughed and was surprised and Kiro reacted the same as Valone. "Think of the threesomes next time Jesus..." Kiro laughed.

As far as her three best friends went. Misa was the most uncomfortable though since her worries were mainly just that Mari and Misa's little retard of a sister, Kaya played poky. And once Mari said she didn't Misa was fine. She didn't want one of her friends sleeping with both of her siblings...

And as for the boyfriends....

"Dude, that is the hottest thing i have ever heard. If you dont do a threesome...I-I just might die! I kid you not i might die if that image in my head is not fulfilled," Josie said with as straight a face as he could humanly manage.

"Ok then..." Was all Sal said.

"Well, that explains the whole bus stop thing...Anyway good for you Mari!" Chris chirped and cuddled her.

Mari giggled and muttered her thanks.

Valone sauntered up to Josie putting a finger on his chest. "Un uh you don't get to get things like that for free..."

"Damn straight. $10 dollars an hour each!" Kiro said high-fiving Valone.

Mari looked at the two of them. "Uh...I never agreed to this.

"Well fine I could just be Kiro and me!" Valone chriped giving a sexy look to Kiro. Which Kiro returned.

"My god being replaced by a crazy woman. I think this might be an all time low for me..." Chris said sadly.

"Dont feel too bad after all, we get to watch!" Josie chuckled.

"Oh ive watched plenty of it in Play! Practically sex!" Chris said.

"Ah but this WOULD be sex!" Josie said.

"Sex isnt that sexy" Chris said shaking his head, "Oh Mari, since your no longer "dateing" Brendon...Are you and..this girl...you know?"

"Wait...Why where you two 'dateing' anyway?" Sal asked, though it was obvious.

Brendon laughed nervously and his eyes went wide.

"Uh...covering...um...for her..." he said. Then suddenly Sal and Josie had their lightbulb moment. Josie smirked at him, wondering how he couldnt have seen it before. Sal looked, perplexed to say the least and crossed his arms staring at his cousin with furrowed brows as if trying to crack some puzzle.

Valone and Kiro giggled as they teased Josie.

"Yeah....and Chris...I think so...I'm not sure..." Mari said slowly.

"Your not sure?" Kiro and Valone pressured looking intently at her.

"Well...I asked her to a movie...and were going on Saturday....so I guess..." Mari said. Kiro, Valone, and Misa looked at one another than at Mari. "What?" Mari said looking back at them.

"That only gives us five days to prep you..." Kiro said.

"Prep?"

Valone nodded, "Yeah we can't let you free ball your date you'll end up like Brendon..."

"....." Mari glared, "I don't think I'm going to be accepting help from you Valone..."

"What about Cassy?" Kiro said.

".....Cassy never had a date though...." Valone said, "And she's a virgin..."

"And you aren't?" Misa said boredly.

"Hell no! There was that guy at that party that I banged!" Valone said as Misa covered her ears and made na na na noises. "Though that was mostly Kiki but there have been others....I'm very experianced..." She finished with a sexy wink to Josie.

Kiro nudged Chris. "How can Valone and Kiki have had sex but not Cassy...they share one body..."

"Like us with Jesus..." Mari said boredly.

"HEY!" Brendon yelled at Valones comment.

"YAY! Good for you Mari!" Chris chirped, "Oh! I want to help! I could do your make up!"

The boys all stared at him for a moment before Sal snorted loudly and ruffled his hair, "Oh no you dont! You and I are the only men left in this damn group, you need to retain some sort of masculinity"

"What about me?" Josie asked.

"You dont count"

"Why?"

"Because your Manorexic that makes you a pussy" Sal said.

"Im not manorexic i just have a fast metabolism."

"Damn that's not nearly as hot..." Valone said.

The girls rolled there eyes not saying anything.

"Right...well I think I'll do fine by myself...." Mari said

"Probably..." Kiro said with a nod.

"Daw...i wanted to help," Chris whined.

Mari sighed giving in, "Fine...fine...but just Chris...." Mari rubbed her temple. "I don't need to be swarmed with help thank you..."

Valone and Misa sighed sadly and Kiro rolled her eyes.

"YAAy I'm special!" Chris chirped happily and danced a bit.

"How can someone that acts so gay be straight?" Josie asked and shook his head.

"Dont ask me, I'm as confused as you are," Sal laughed and patted Chris' back.

"I think everyone's confused by him..." Brendon muttered, unsure why he had suddenly butted into the conversation.

"Its just one of the side effects of being me," Chris said with a grin.

"I think I'm actually a lesbian...." Kiro muttered shaking her head, "Only way I could possibly be dating him..."

Mari nodded, "Yeah...."

Sal laughed loudly at this, Josie didnt seem to take much mind to the comment though, seeming to half agree with her. Brendon on the other hand suddenly had a image flood into his mind.

The room was all black hugging to him like warm velvet. Then suddenly a light came cascading down from one of the stage lamps. There, on the stage, stood a silhouetted figure. That in itself was lovely, the way that the light reflected off the sides of his pale supple flesh. Then in one slow, fluid movement, Christian turned around and showed off his lovely red lingerie and moved off the stage to press his body up against his hard mem-

"You ok Brendon?" Sal asked and slapped him on the back, hard.

"YES YES IM OK!!" He yelled, pissed off at the interruption and the lovely red five star forming on his back.

Mari rolled her eyes, "Don't daydream in public Brendon...and shouldn't we all be getting to class?" She said breaking up all the girls giggles. Misa nodded.

"True...were already late though I don't think we'll get in much trouble if we skip but lets get going anyway..."

Brendon sighed and rubbed his back with irritation and scooted over to Mari with a tired expression. This day was never going to be over was it?

"So whats next?" he asked, well...it was more of a groan really.

"Free period...." Mari said with a smiled. She looked at Brendon sadly. Poor kid it had been a hard day for him. He needed a break. "Hey Brendon...I have brownies...want to come over? You need some sugar..." She smiled.

"Sure!" He chirped, seeming to liven up a great deal at the mention of brownies. He liked sweets. Though they did odd things to him if he had too much. But he didn't want to think about that. He had had a bad day, he deserved some satisfaction. After a while he sighed and ruffled the hair under his hat, "Well...at least its free period, no work involved...Maybe that'll help me relax a bit"

"Let's hope...I'd rather you not be a stiff the rest of the day..." Mari laughed nudging him with a smile. "So let's only 30 mins left in the day..."

"Well...yay..." Brendon said with a little smile and walked into the auditorium quietly. It was a relatively small group, seeing as the place had enough seats to hold the audience to a Broadway show. Brendon looked around for any sign of people he knew, and one in particular that he had begone to hate. Finding no trace of him he smiled to himself and sat down in a row of empty seats. This period was going to go well. He could feel it.

Mari sat down next to him. Valone was perposing some type of strange bet to Josie. Something about snorting Pixie Sticks. Kiro was cuddling with Chris. And Misa was trying to learn Spanish from Sal. All in all it was a normal day. At least what Mari would call normal. Sense what is normal anyway?

Mari sighed bring in out a book. Homework. Joy. From Booth. Yay.

Brendon relaxed into the back of the seat. It was old and it creaked as he slid back, but it was comfortable enough. He looked over to Mari with half lidded eyes, finding himself suddenly very tired in this position, and watched her scribble down the answers to her work. He thought for a moment that he might pull his papers out and do the same but in the end he decided against it. He was too tired to think and even if he did he probably wouldn't get the answers right anyway. So he opted to just nap.

With a little sigh, Brendon slid his eyes closed and let his mind wander into a relaxed dreamy state, his brain spit out tired random images of a man in a top hat riding a unicycle and a lady with a lopsided hoop skirt scolding a young boy. None of it made any seance, but his brain did that sometimes. Quietly he listened to his suroundings and sighed yet agian. First it was normal, just the usual chatter of a room full of highschool students, but then he heard muffled talking and snickering from behind him.

"Oh my gosh HI!" Chirs said. Brendon took little notice and then suddenly annother voice came.

"Hey there Brent," And Lorry flicked him in the back of the head. Hard.

"OWWW!!" He yelled, gripping the back of his head and turning around to face him with wide, angry eyes, "Jesus Christ! What are your fingers made out of steel!?"
