was going on, and gave him two extra days to get it done.  
      He made a show of getting up and hugging the teacher hard before sitting back down in his chair.  
    “That’s how it’s done gentlemen.” He’d whispered to the rest of them.
    Kyle, on the other hand, was the quieter of the two. He didn’t go above and beyond, like Ryan, but he had his moments.   When he got going, he could be hilarious.   He’d come out with some great one-liners, seeming not to be aware of just how funny he was.

    “Have you met the new girl yet?” Ryan spoke to Alex again.
    “Yeah, both.” Alex replied.   His stomach flipped at the mention of ‘the new girl’ automatically thinking about Holly. Kate, he didn’t have any interest in.
    “Both?” asked Kyle.   “There’s another?”
    “Yeah.   Who have you met?” asked Alex, curious as to whom Kyle was talking about.
    “Kate. The Texan.”
      “Oh, yeah. She’s in our Algebra class” Alex said with a frown.
    “What did you think of her?” asked Ryan with a smirk.  
    “Not much.   Dev spoke to her a bit.   That’s all.   They’ve gone to lunch with the girls”   He answered.
    The guys were passing looks to each other.
    “Not much huh?” Said Kyle.   “Not even a little bit of…anything?”
    Alex looked at Kyle with an eyebrow lifted.   He knew what he was doing.   Asking whether Alex had an interest in her.
    It was well known, between them, that Alex hadn’t been interested in any of the girls at school.   Or anywhere else for that matter.
    “Nope.”
    Alex hoped the one word answer would end the discussion regarding ‘Kate’.
    “Hey, she’s actually pretty hot, dude” Ryan said, as his smile got bigger.
    “Ask her out then. I’m sure she’ll be more than willing.”  
    “She asked you out already didn’t she?” asked Kyle with a laugh.
    Alex looked down at the floor and bit the inside of his cheek.
    “Oh my God, she did!!” laughed Ryan.
    “Shut up you two” Said Ben.
    Ben knew how uncomfortable Alex felt when girls came on to him, especially the way Kate had done.
    “We’re just saying…”   said Kyle.
    “Well just don’t.” Said Ben as they paid the cashier for their lunches.

    They walked outside to their usual lunch table and sat down.
    As their conversation picked up about the two new male students, Alex heard a voice that turned his stomach.
    “Hey there Alex…Boys.”   Stacey said in a voice that was supposed to be sultry.
    Nails being scraped down a chalk board sounded far more attractive than that!  
    Dev, why did you have to go?
    Whenever Dev, and the girls were there; Stacey wouldn’t bother them as much.   Now she’d gone out to lunch with Riss, Kayla, and now Kate, he didn’t have all of his defenses there.

    “What do you want, Stacey?” Alex practically growled between his gritted teeth.
    “Oh, baby, you know exactly what I want”   Stacey giggled as she ran her fingers over Alex’s shoulder, making him flinch away from her.
    “Well look somewhere else, tramp , because you’re not getting it here”   Alex retorted.
    “You know you’re only making me more determined to get you… and your cute little ass…so you’re just wasting your time trying to resist me, Alex. I know you want me”
    Alex choked on air as the guys burst out laughing.
    “Wow, you really are a crazy bitch.” Howled Kyle.   Stacey’s thunderous expression only made him laugh harder. Ryan stood.  
    Here we go  
    “Gurrrrl…you crazy.   Like suuuper crazy…” Ryan was winding his fingers by his temples, making ‘insane’ signs, and he was talking in a stereotypical ‘sista’ tone.  
    “Ain’t no man gonna want your hoochy ass!   Uh uh! Hellll no!”   He finished with a click of his fingers in a ‘snap’ moving his head side-to-side.  
    “Amen!”   Chorused the guys, including Alex.
    “Just you wait… Honey ”   Stacey spat.   “You’ll soon stop fighting me, and when you do, you’re
