"Thanks." Ben said with a wide grin spreading on his face before setting off down the hallway at a half-run towads the gymnastics room.

"Crazy kids." Matthew teased as he leaned against the locker next to Leane's.

~~~

"Jenny?" Ben called in a hushed whisper as he creaked open the door the the gymnastics room.

Leane laughed as she placed a light kiss upon the tip of his nose, "They, unlike us, hardly get to see each other. Don't make fun, they have every right to be so in love." After putting her gymnastic bag into her locker, Leane linked her fingers with Matt's, leading him to his locker soon after.

--

Dropping the mat she was carrying, Jenny spun around; her heart racing, and her breathing heavy from fright. "Ben? You scared the living daylights out of me!" Jenny laughed as she took deep breaths to calm herself. Picking up the mats, Jenny called over her shoulder, "What in the world are you doing here?"

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with them being crazy. You're crazy but I still love you." Matthew teased as he gave Leane's forehead a kiss before getting his books from his locker.

~~~

"I came down here to see you." Ben laughed as he walked over to his girlfriend. "Do you need some help?" He offered as he held out his hand to help Jenny carry the mats.

"Isn't it wonderful though? I was afraid Jenny would never find anyone after her last experience with men. I'm very happy she found someone in Ben," Leane said with a small smile as she leaned back against the locker. "They seem so care-free and happy. I almost wish I had as much self-control as Jenny does.. Perhaps then we wouldn't be in this mess.."

---

"There's a few more things in the trunk, would you grab those for me?" Jenny asked with a smile as she leaned in and placed a tender kiss upon his lips, "Thank you."

"Perhaps not but all couples have some problems at some point." Matthew reminded her as he closed his locker and put an arm around Leane's waist. "Like having to go to class instead of sleeping in is a problem but at least we're together in the end." He teased with a smile.

~~~

"Your welcome." Ben smiled as he walked over to the trunk and pulled out the remainder of the mats and turned to follow Jenny.

Leane smiled as she leaned into him and placed a long, tender kiss upon his lips, "I love you."

--

Nodding to the stack, Jenny called over to him, "You can leave them by the big stack." Checking everything over, Jenny determined everything was set in order for practice that evening. Smiling to herself, she turned and headed over to Ben. Wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, Jenny rested her chin gently upon his shoulder and placed a light kiss upon his neck, "Morning."

"I love you too." Matthew assured her and returning her kiss softly before leading her into the classroom.

~~~

"Good morning." Ben smiled as he set the mats with the others and turned to face Jenny. Without words, Ben lifted Jenny's chin to give her a long kiss on the lips.

Sitting in her usual seat, Leane became lost in her thoughts, each thought having to do with trying to 'get over' the fact that she may be pregnant, and if she were pregnant, then how to move on and deal with that fact without stooping into a miserable depression of pity and regret.

--

Slipping her arms around his neck, Jenny smiled as she eagerly returned his kiss. "We should probably get to class before we're late," Jenny murmured softly between kisses.

"Lee?" Matthew asked as he leaned forward and tapped her shoulders, having seen her face settle in a frown. "Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

~~~

"Mm, you're right." Ben smiled as he seperated their lips though his hands were still sitting on her waist. "Do you have your books?" He asked as he rested his forehead on her's.

"Hmm? Oh, yes, I'm fine," Leane said with a laugh as she turned towards him in her seat. "Why wouldn't I be?"

--

"Yeah, they're in my bag. I just have to stop by my locker to put my bag and other books away," Jenny said with a smile between light kisses. "Walk with me?"

"You just spaced out for a moment and you looked sad. I was making sure." Matt smiled before giving her jaw a quick caress.

~~~

"Of course." Ben said as he put a chaste arm around Jenny's waist and led her through the halls towards her locker. "What's your first class again?" Ben asked curiously.

Placing a tender kiss upon his wrist, Leane smiled, "I'm alright, don't worry so much. I was just thinking, is all. Nothing serious, I promise."

--

"History," Jenny said with a laugh as she leaned into Ben's embrace. "Is it far from where you're going?"

"Alright." Matt smiled before turning his back on Leane to finish a conversation with Kevin behind him who was talking excitedly about the football game that Sunday.

~~~

"I don't think so." Ben said as he tried to layout the classrooms in his mind. "Chem lab is just down the hall from History, right?" He asked.

Smiling, Leane shook her head lightly before turning back around to her thoughts.

--

"Ish," Jenny laughed, "It's upstairs from History, but in the same wing. You sure you'll have enough time? I don't want you to be incredibly late on my account."

"I'll have time." Ben assured her as he pulled her closer to his side when they reached her locker. Unlatching his arm from her waist, Ben leaned against the locker next to her's as he waited for her to get her books. "Are we going to the cliff tonight?" He asked. "Gina wanted me to ask to see if we were still going."

"If you want to," Jenny said with a nod as she opened her locker and put her things away. Her books in hand, her locker shut, Jenny placed a long kiss upon Ben's lips before continuing, "It'll have to be after practice though. I can't skip tonight - Coach would kill me with the competition coming up next weekend. Want to come over for dinner tonight and then go?"

"That sounds fine, besides Leane and Matt probably won't head out til after since your both on the team." Ben said as he glanced around the empty hallway before pressing Jenny back against her locker to give her another kiss, a bit more fire behind his lips before pulling away. "I love you." He whispered shyly as he stepped back slightly.

Jenny smiled as she wrapped her free arm around his neck and eagerly returned his kiss. "I love you too," she murmured between kisses. "But we really have to get to class before we both get detention for being late," Jenny teased with one last kiss, "Unless you plan on keeping me here for the entire period."

"No." Ben laughed as he gave her cheek a kiss. "I just wanted to let you know I love you very much." He winked before hooking an arm around her shoulder and bringing her up towards the History room.

Jenny laughed as she placed a tender kiss upon his cheek, "Shame. I was rather looking forward to skipping History." When they reached the history room, Jenny placed a long, tender kiss upon Ben's lips. "I'll see you later?"

"Definetely." Ben said as he returned her kiss and gave her one last hug before heading off to the Chemistry lab.

*~*

The bell rang overhead and Matthew tried to concentrate on the lecture that the teacher was explaining but quite simply he didn't care. He was still dead tired and he wished that school would start later so that he could sleep in in the mornings. Snapping back into reality, Matthew looked at the teacher who had just announced that there would be a quiz the next day on the notesthey took in class. Looking down at his notebook Matthew realized that he hadn't written anything. Perfect.

When class had finished, Leane stretched before closing her notebook and picking up her things. Turning towards Matt, Leane smiled a small smile. For the most part, Leane had payed attention to the class and had taken wonderful notes. However, for the rest of it, she had spaced out in her thoughts of the future once again.

'Stop doing this to yourself Leane.. You cannot keep it up! It will drive both you and Matt insane, not to mention it will drive him away from you forever, pregnant or not.'

With that thought, Leane shook her head slightly before standing and walking over to Matt's desk. Seeing his empty notebook, Leane laughed as she teased gently, "I see you payed great attention in class today. Anything wrong?"

"No just maybe sleeping in would've been nice." Matthew laughed as he stood up and tucked his books under his arm before wrapping the other around Leane's shoulders. "But maybe I'll have better luck in second." He mused as he led his girlfriend out the door and back towards her locker.

Leane laughed as she placed a tender kiss upon his lips, "See? My ideas are always brilliant after you actually think of them." Exchanging her books around, Leane led Matt back over to his locker. "Have you ever noticed how boring high school is with its routine? The same old same old every day. Nothing ever changing. Don't you ever just wish it could be different?"

"Yes. Everyday." Matthew sighed. "But if we hadn't come to school then neither of us would have notes for the quiz tomorrow." He reminded her as he switched his books.
