Kiro gulped feeling Jason's eyes on her. She resisted the urge to whimper and run out of the class to find Chris and use him as a shield. Instead she smiled and trained her eye back to her partners just in time to block Mari and Valone who decided to double team her. Her block was near perfect she had their arms bent so their bodies were closed off. They couldn't hit her if they tried. From her position she could easily think of several ways to defend himself. She dropped her grasp. So why can't I protect myself from him? She thought numbly.

Jason didnt look impressed in the least. After the longest time he tore his eyes from her with a low grunt and went to the other side of the room to stop one of the students from using a chair as a shield. Because that, apparently, was cheating.Brendon could actually feel the tension in the air dissipate and he let out a long sigh. He flopped down onto the floor and watched the girls go at it, giving up on fighting all together.

Kiro continued to effortless block her friends onslaught. They didn't even come close to the type of skill she had. Honestly right now she felt as if she was barely trying. She was just hopping the bell would hurry up and ring so she could try and see Chris. Maybe he was in her next class. The idea made her smiled.

Lucky for Kiro the bell rang very shortly after the three began fighting. Brendon was very happy with this turn of events and hopped up from his seat with a big smile on his face. And why do you ask was he so happy? Because! Lunch! Meaning he had food and a chance to go down to the office!

"Lets gooo!" he said happily, dragging Mari behind him.

"Woah!" She said grabbing on a to her friends desperatly and she was dragged along. They were all laughing. Valone happy because she could bug/flirt with Josie. Kiro happy because she could hurl herself into her boyfriends loving arms and forget the world. Misa happy because she would get a chance to talk with Sal and her other friends. Mari happy as she could make herself because she was with her friends. And what else other than that does she need. That's right the thing everyone of her girls had. A partner. But she tried not to be bitter.

Brendon waisted no time in finding a table and sitting down. It was very crouded in there, but he was desperate and pushy in this time of need. He just rammed though the students and found a semi-empty table.He wanted to get this eating out of the way as fast as possible so he could get back to his art classes asap! Quickly he unzipped his backpack and pulled out his bagged lunch, he could never stomach cafeteria food, and dug in.

Valone sat down and as soon as she spotted Josie she waved him over. "Skeletor!" She called with a smirk.

"Oh God..." The others fake groaned. Misa looked around hopping to find a sign of Sal. And Kiro sat waiting for Chris and began unpacking her lunch of fancy Tuna, and white rice that was still warm due to her technological and money advantages. Valone scowled. She couldn't help feeling jealous of Kiro and Misa who where basically made of money. Kiro actually has a literal money pool! Kiro's dad despite his decrepit ways was a powerful man in the CIA and her other dad was as well. Even Kiro's birthdad who it looked like he was going to live with had more money than he knew what to do with it. Whearas Misa's parents where just rich. Her grandparents ran some huge company and her parents ran it now. It was all very hush-hush though. Valone suspected her parents were part of a Mafia with Kiro's parents. She'd had often heard them whispering about strange things. They had no need to save their money the way Valone did with her family of 12 to feed on her parents minimal wadge job. Truth is most of their money for clothes and food came from her friends. Yeah she was grateful them.

Marisela was a different story however. You couldn't say she was in the middle but you couldn't say she was rich either. And if she was she didn't show it. Valone knew they had some type of beach condominium down the shore. Whereas Kiro had a private mansion in Vegas that they all went to a few years ago, and god knows what else she has.

Josie promptly flipped her the bird and gave her a big grin the scaled across the entirety of his face. He took his tray and made his way over to her aiming for the seat next to her. Chris however shot over to the table like a bat out of hell and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend lovingly, completely blocking the seat from him. Josie, obviously, did not like this and pushed him out of the way with his side. He did it a bit harder than he had thought and Chris came tubing down with Kiro in tow.

Brendon expected there to be some kind of dispute, but Chris just laughed the way he always did and pulled himself and Kiro up, making sure that she was unharmed.

"Sorry," He said to Josie. Josie just nodded and sat down. Brendon shook his head and took a bite of his soggy tuna sandwich. It was pretty good, though he didnt have the money for lovely food like Kira and Misa did. He was middle class like Chris and his cousin. They all lived in the same neighborhood. He was an only child in a two story house that could fit maybe four people comfortably. It usually only had two because his father worked very often, for retirement not for his college fund, they had given up on that a long time ago. So he didnt have any of the lugubrious that they did, but he was certainly better off than Valone.

Valone laughed, "Looks like some one's desperate....aren't we Skeletor?" She grinned at him happy to have him sit next to her. Kiro chuckled leaning in to her love who was hyper as usual.

She chuckled. Crazy as usual just the way I like it. Kiro thought. Misa broke into a huge grin as she spotted Sal, "SAL!" She called waving frantically to him. Mari shook her head as she ate her silently.

"Only if you dare me to," Josie said to her with a grin, the look in his eyes telling that he would do it if she just asked.

Brendon nearly choked when he heard his cousins name. Oh shit. Hadnt he had a bad enough day already? Did God really hate him that much? A hard smack on the back told him that yes, yes he did.

"Hey there Misa," Salvador said with a big grin and sat down between him and his girlfriend extending one large tanned and muscular arm around her shoulders. Sal was handsome, though he would never admit it, with a strong face, dark skin, laughing eyes, and long bushy hair that screamed 'what is this comb contraption that you speak of?' Over all, a very good looking guy. But he was a pest, especially to Brendon. Speak of the devil, Sal turned to Brendon.

"Como estas sobrino?" He asked in a completely fluent tone. Brendon sunk down a bit looking away from him with a frown.

"Chinga usted," He muttered he wasnt nearly as good at speaking the language as him, both Sals parents could speak Spanish but only Brendons dad spoke it.

"Que dijiste!?" Sal boomed angrily, "Que es tu problema?"

"Nada! Nada! A tenido un mal dia! Hablas con tu novia y dejame a comer" Brendon snapped and took another bite of his sandwich.

"Asshole..." Sal said with a big smile and leaned over to Misa as he had been told.

Misa laughed she didn't understand what they said but Kiro did and she was grinning so it must have been funny. In any case Misa took to her boyfriend gratefully as she curled up next to him. "Be nice..." She murmured.

Valone smiled darkly at Josie, "Then I dare you." Her eyes sparkled as they stayed on his face in glee.

Kiro giggled while she tried to feed Chris some of the tuna. Mari watched the couples feeling almost as miserable as Brendon did. She nudged him, "Maybe you should go down to the office..."

"Hey he started it!" Sal defended, "I was being nice. You saw me being nice didnt you?"

Brendon rolled his eyes and looked over just in time to see Josie lean over and kiss Christian square on the lips. He blushed like mad. Blood roared in his ears so loud that he could barely hear Sal laughing his ass off. Chris tried to pull away, barely able to breath because he was giggling so hard, but Josie gave him a look that said, 'If you move you'll regret it for making me loose.' It lasted all of a minuet, or at least he thought it did. He was so engrossed in watching that it felt like a year had passed before Sal pushed the two of them apart.

"Alright alright give it up love birds," he said laughingly.

"Aww but I was having so much fun!" Christian laughed and wrapped his arms around Kiro again smiling like mad.

"Dont say that or she might dare me again," Josie said whipping the slobber from his lips.

"Right...Ben? She said you needed to go to the office. What, did you get in trouble already?" Sal asked looking over at the tomato that was once Brendon.

"Mraah..." Brendon moaned still too flustered to be capable of human speech. So Sal smacked him.

"Hey...earth to Brendon!" he yelled in his ear.

"YES YES! I need to go to the godamn office!" He yelled, "They screwed up and gave me acting classes instead of art!"

"Oh that sucks" Sal said sympathetically.

"Yea that sucks ass," Christian said nodding in agreement. Brendon flushed again. Christian, having said the exact wrong thing, forced him to think about other places that he could suck.

Misa shook her head. "Oh god..."

Valone laughed and clapped her hand in delight, "Alright Skeletor...your turn..." She smirked. Mari couldn't help but giggled as she watched the scene.

Kiro pretended to sulk, "Chris....Chris how could you? You swore you weren't going to fall for a man! What do i have to do to get you back?" Kiro was on one knee holding Chris' hands in her own, "I'll get a sex change for you if I have to!" This brought all the friends into laughter.

"Hmmm well i need to think for a while about that one...My retribution must be simply delicious!" Josie said with a big toothy grin. He had something dastardly planned and he wanted her to know it and be afraid. Very, very afraid.

Chris placed one hand on his forehead dramatically and sighed, "Im sorry my dear! I just cant keep these urges inside! I simply cannot ignore them anymore! But not to worry my dear! I have a solution!" He grinned and looked at Sal impishly, "Lets have a threesome!"

And tadah! Brendon had a boner as his head met the desk with a lovely clunk that made Sal laugh even harder.

Valone just smirked at him, "Bring it Meatless...hey...that's a new one..."

Kiro laughed, "Sure but let's let Misa be a part of it...we don't want her to feel left out...."

Misa gagged on her sandwich, ".....No do not drag me into this!"

Mari laughed rubbing Ben's back, "Don't throw up okay Ben...just think of something happy..."

Brendon just let out some noise that was a cross between a grumble and a moan. Thank God for Mari. She knew that he liked Chris. How could she not? She was his best friend. They had never come out and verbally acknowledged it but they both knew it.

"All dont worry Brenny! Were only joking" Sal said in a taunting fission.

"Yea Mick its all in good fun!" Chirs laughed.

"Mick?" Sal asked.

"Yea...because hes Irish" Chris said with a grin. Sal looked at him like he was crazy. Because he was.

Mari poked Valone, "Hey...you should dare him to kiss you see what happens..."

Valone blushed and glared at her but then turned to Josie, "Okay Josie I have a dare for you...don't worry I think you'll like this one...."

Mari sighed and gave Ben a hug, "You okay big guy?"

"Bring it on!" He declared loudly.

"No..." Brendon muttered and sighed, "But ill get over it..."

Mari nodded and hugged him again. "I dare you do kiss me..." Valone smirked staring at him.

Josie raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadnt been expecting it. But there was no blush, no sighn that he was flustered or had wanted to be near her at all.

"Thats not a very original dare..." he said and leaned in kissing her, tong and all.

Everyone stared for a long moment, utter silence seemed to sweep over them all. Not even the other tables seemed to be making any sound as the two locked lips. It was like a voide. A never ending vortex of lovely silence only disrupted by the passion of the two students. That, and the fact that Christian had started singing 'Kiss the Girl' from the Little Mermaid. Sal was in stitches.

Valone kissed him happily. Kiro watched until Chris' singing registered in his ear an she gave him a small shake of her head. Misa glared at Sal warning him not to ruin the moment. And Mari stared biting her lip. Then broke into a grin she had a plan. And that plan involved a Slumber Party and a Closet Under a Staircase. And many many cupcakes.

Chris smirked and lowered his singing down to a low murmery whisper, to set the mood if you will. Little Joseph didnt look very relaxed in the pose, probably because he was nervous as hell. All the guys knew that he liked Val, but he had an odd way of showing it and being affectionate was not in his nature. But, slowly, Josie let his guard down and allowed himself to show that he was in fact enjoying himself. Chris smiled. It was so the song. No one could resist the song. Except maybe Sal, who had to place both hands firmly over his mouth just to keep him from laughing like a maniac.

Brendon wasnt really all that interested in the kiss but did sound an internal 'awwwww' in his brain. It was cute. But his focus was more on his friends impish expression. What the hell was she thinking?

Mari felt Brendon's eyes on her and she turned to him with a grin and gave a small wink. Misa looked over at her and shook her head mouthing the word, 'No' and moving her two hand side-to-side in reverse directions. Mari just waved her off with a pout.

Valone giggled as she pulled back breaking the kiss in order to breath.

Brendon shook his head and sighed. He looked at Misa and then back to Mari. 'Pervert' he mouthed to Mari with a laugh.

Josie looked at her after breaking the kiss, trying very hard to look indifferent about the whole thing. But he couldnt hide the tiniest of blushes that crept onto his face. Chris sung louder.

Valone smiled at him her face slightly blushed. Then she heard Chris' singing and promptly picked up a fork and hurled it at him where in landed stuck in the table right in between his thumb and forefinger. "Shut it!" She growled her face dark. Mari giggled and glared at Brendon mouthing, 'closet gay'. Not that she was one to talk.
