It was another week that had gone by in an instant, it was already Friday and the Homecoming game was tonight. And the Homecoming dance was next week. Everyone was looking for dates and formal stores were going to need to restock a lot to keep with this group of teenagers. Mimi and Kyle were beginning to become closer and closer to each other. They shared Ms. Reed for their Trigonometry class and yet again had to deal with the annoying Taylor who sat right in front of them. At least they were able to pick their partners and obviously they chose each other.



"Well well well, look who decided to come in la-", Flint said as stopped talking and started looking.

"What is there something wrong with my face?" asked Asia.

"Not at all, I mean there wasn't anything wrong to begin with", said Flint trying to save himself from another one of Asia's angry faced looks.



Flint kept staring at Asia as she went over the criteria of this weeks tutor session.

"Flint?..Flint!" Asia yelled trying to get his head out of limbo.

"Huh? I was listening", said Flint lying.

"Then what did I just say?" Asia asked.

"Yeah...I don't know", Flint said rubbing his head.

"Focus Flint, Focus. I said next week I'll have to start tutoring you from my house because I'll need watch my little sister after school", said Asia annoyed. She hated repeating herself.



"Oh okay, cool", said Flint smiling.

"And don't get any weird ideas, I have a black belt", Asia said throwing it in.

"I am not that kind if guy Asia and remember, I was the one that drove you home that night of Taylor's Party", said Flint picking up a book and reading it.

Asia never forgot that ever. She was actually really thankful that he did that, someone she barely knew at all but just by name who had decided to take her to Mimi's house safely. It was sort of hard for Asia to let people in, but she then again did let her best friends Mimi and Jenny into her life.

"What are you doing this weekend Flint?" asked Asia.

"Why are you asking me out on a date, I'm flattered", Flint said all cheeky.



In the hallway, Dylan and Jenny were chatting near her locker. Dylan really knew how to make her laugh a lot. Jenny hadn't so much laughter to let out but before her parents break-up. Jenny used to always smile and laugh, maybe it was indeed a good thing she became friends with Dylan after all.



As the cute couple kept laughing it up, Ryan and Aj were talking from behind Dylan.

"Jenny's mom like an underwear model or something" Aj asked.

"Yeah I think she is actually, why?", said Ryan.

"Cause, I hope the saying goes like mother like daughter", Aj said making Ryan crack up.

Dylan could here the entire conversation and jumped in.
"What the hell did you just say dude?" asked Dylan.

"Oh nothing but that I hope your girlfriend here becomes like her mom", said Aj joking and looking Dylan straight in the eyes.



Dylan lost it and punched Aj so hard in the face, people thought they heard a cheekbone crack.

"And I hope you learn to keep your mouth shut", said Dylan looking at Aj who was laid out across the floor as everyone watched the wrath of Dylan Stewart. Everyone was thinking to themselves how redundant Aj was to even say that to Dylan's face. It was just down right heroic.


"Dylan Stewart to Student Affairs", a voice said in the intercom.



Principal Bobo sat in his lofty office staring at Dylan and then Aj's face and then back to Dylan who obviously didn't have a scratch on him. Mr. Bobo and Dylan were like two pees in a pod, if Mr. Bobo said detention, Dylan would walk there. With all the trouble Dylan was always into, him and Mr. Bobo was somewhat friends and on a first name basis.

"Dylan why is it every time I hear a commotion in the hallway that you are most likely the one who causes it?" Mr. Bobo said shaking his head.



"I don't know Bobo, maybe because some idiot such as this one always has to come along and say something stupid about me", said Dylan, "And not to mention I've been sort dying to punch him ever since he song that Justin Timberlake song at my band's audition".

"But it wasn't even about you and what the heck is wrong with Justin?", Aj snapped back at Dylan.

"Jenny is me, so basically yes it was about me", Dylan said rolling his eyes, "And nice to see you finally got up after that punch, maybe I'll knock you back down again".

"Who the heck is Jenny? And by the way how's your band doing?" asked Mr. Bobo

"My girlfriend and we found a lead singer so everything is pretty much good to go", said Dylan.

"Aw, how cute and what's her classes, maybe I'll stop by one later. And when you guys become famous I want a free copy of your first CD", said Mr. Bobo. He always tried to be friendly with most students around school and was basically one of the coolest principal's alive. He never really suspended people but his favorite word was "detention".



"You know it's very cute and all how guys are butt buddies, but can I just get my detention slip already cause I could seriously use some ice", Aj said trying to excuse himself.

"And I seriously just want to punch you again", said Dylan cracking his knuckles.

"Oh right", Mr. Bobo said clearing his throat and writing on the blank detention slips, "We'll talk about this later. Aj detention, Dylan detention. Now beat it, I've got announcements to make".



At lunchtime, the group began to sit with each other and sooner than they thought they formed their very own large table that only seemed to have enough seats for themselves.



But at Taylor's table, people were not allowed to sit there without permission unless they wanted the crap kicked out of them or to be called loser a hundred times. Taylor's circle of friends involved pretty much all the annoying kids in the school except for Jeremy, Cody, and Lacy. People always wondered why those three wasted their time at that table, since all they really talked about was how pretty their hair was, or about the upcoming games.



"And well hello Spoto Spartans! Welcome back from your luxurious summer vacation. I am your host Samuel Davis sitting here with Rodney Jones a graduate of our opposing team, the Tuscan Titans. So Rodney, what do you think of tonight's match up", said Samuel into the mic.

"I think and know from experience that these two teams hate each others guts Sam. And this should truly be a very interesting game tonight", Rodney said.

"Well you heard it folks, one big rivalry game coming right up!" Samuel said.



The homecoming game lifted off to a great start the Spartans took the first shot into the net. There were quite a few times when the Spartans had let their guard down though and the Titans were able to even out the score. It was tied one to one, and it was half time.



"Give it up everyone for your Spoto Spartan Cheerleaders!" Samuel said as he hyped up the crowd.



The girls ran one after another into the center of the field. They were ready to perform once again on their grassy green home field.

"Let's go Spartans!" Yeah Spartans, come on!" The girls cheered.



The girls displayed such a tremendous performance that made the crowd come alive. Having a pyramid and not only adding in for Mimi and Monica to do back flips was enough to keep everyone entertained.

"Give it up for your Spoto Spartan cheer squad once again everyone!" Samuel said.



Half time was over and the game was back on. The score was still one to one and the team would be devastated to lose their very own home game. Spoto High had never lost a home game before and wouldn't begin to now.

Coach Durham subbed Flint in for Kyle again.
"Kyle are you okay son? You seemed pretty tired out there", Durham said.

"I'm fine Coach, you don't need to take me out", Kyle said trying not trying to breathe heavily.

"Take a seat on the bench boy, Flint go in and win this thing!" Coach said pushing Flint out there.



There was exactly ten seconds left on the clock as Flint became corned by the Titans. It was either shoot and hopefully get a shot or try and fiddle around them for a better chance. Flint looked fast, there wasn't enough time to get around them so he took a shot.



"Goooooal!" Samuel yells into the mic.

"The Spoto Spartans have beaten the Titans once again!" Rodney screams.



The Spartans ran over rubbing Flint's hair and scooping him up from right under his feet.
"Well Flint I didn't think you had it in you", Durham said laughing.

"Thanks Coach", Flint said laughing with him.

"We are the Spartans, huh huh! We are the Spartans, huh huh!" They chanted their school cheer.



After the game Flint found an unexpected surprise waiting for him right outside the boys locker room.

"Hey Asia, what's up?" asked Flint.



"Hey! Just seeing how you were doing. I mean you totally won that game for us back there", Asia said.

Flint kept staring into her beautiful dark eyes. Asia was so striking to Flint more than food ever struck his stomach. Was Flint actually putting the plate behind?
Flint finally responded to her as she started looking at him weird.



"Yeah I know. What a lucky shot. I mean I didn't think it would make it in the goal, but thank god it did. We can't stop our school's tradition now and that was a real close ga-" Flint kept speaking until he was cut off by Asia's lips.



"Wow, um", Flint said mesmerized, "You want to go to dinner with me, I mean I was about to go anyways but do you want to join me?" Flint asked.

"Sure, let's go", Asia said excited.
Asia was beginning to become less of a nerd and more of a girl with a life in and out of high school. Mimi was beginning to brush off on her a little bit. Why not have fun in high school and outside too?



Kyle watched as his friends chatted near the phone booth. He saw how happy everybody was and how just being around each other made them all just, well happy. He didn't want to ruin though. Ruin it by telling Anthony about him and Mimi. This thought circled in his head like a hurricane.



He looked up at the night's sky spacing off.
"I never took you for the lonesome type", Taylor said behind Kyle nearly spooking him half to death.

"And I never took for Type B, but I think you know what the B stands for", said Kyle ignoring Taylor's presence.

"So when are you going to tell him the truth?" asked Taylor grinning.



And that's when Kyle turned around angry, "What are you spying on me now Taylor? What is wrong with you?"

"Well Kyle, I didn't really have to spy on you exactly to come across you locking lips with Mimi in front of one of my house security cameras, now did I?" She asked pointing out her evidence.

"And why do you care?!" asked Kyle.

"That's the thing, I don't", Taylor laughed, "But I need a boyfriend to survive boring old high school and I think you fit the picture".



"No way in hell would I date you again!", Kyle said grunting at her.

"Oh really? Well how do you think Anthony would feel about you and Mimi, yeah know. I mean it wasn't that hard to notice the way Anthony looked at Mimi the first couple weeks of school. Don't you guys like have a guy code or something?" Taylor said playfully.

"Why do you want to date me so bad? Why not someone more popular or better looking? Why the hell me Taylor?!" said Kyle. He didn't understand Taylor's obsession over him lately, it was driving him crazy.

"Because, I told Mimi I'd have the last laugh freshman year and well, I will when I date you again", said Taylor eying Kyle down.



"Oh really? So you want to hurt Mimi? Well now that's just a I'd rather be Justin Bieber than date you no", Kyle said.

"Whatever you say boyfriend. I just better see your pretty red and black mustang in my driveway once again school morning, or I'll spill the juice. Toodles!" Taylor said walking away to her limo.



Kyle dropped down to the floor, angry. He didn't know what to do. Taylor would definitely open up her big mouth about him and Mimi. He certainly couldn't let Anthony find out, at least not from Taylor. Kyle set his mind to it. He was going to tell Anthony the truth Monday.




To Be Continued...

Holy Crap! Kyle's got it real bad. What's he going to do?
Will Taylor open her mouth anyways?
Homecoming is next week, who's Mimi's date?
Asia and Flint? Her father would never approve of this.
Well now we've seen what Dylan is capable of?
