Cassie arrived by the lake and approached the dock... She saw Chris in the distance and she paused and took a deep breath..
" It's okay.. you do this Cass"
She told herself she walked over to Chris.
" Hey Chris.. thanks for coming I thought that it's about time we had a talk face to face... no door between us"

*Chris's jaw bunched up. He knew what was coming. The end.*
Yeah.
*Chris looked into her eyes.*
Just...please...make it fast...

"Whaaaaa....?" Wallace sat in the middle of detention, sipping a martini through what appeared to be a carton of milk. He was on his cell phone. "Really? Well, it's about time. Hartley has been trying to get Teddy away from Billy for....a while now. Not so much because he liked Teddy, but more or less to make Billy miserable. "He should have done is sooner though, Billy and Teddy are kind of growing on me." Wallace set the phone on his shoulder and looked at the jock next to him. "What do you want?"
He then made out with the jock.
"Eh....a 4. Maybe a 5." Wallace put the phone back to his ear, "So....what happened? Really? He punched him. Did Teddy flip? ....oh...really? Wow. ...oh wow. What? .....What?" Wallace looked over at the jock next to him accusingly. He pointed at the jock, then he pointed at himself and motioned that they were DONE. The jock looked really bummed and laid his head down on the desk.
"Well, I gotta go. I'm in detention or --- she got what?! Oh my God...suspended?! Lisa, that's ---- what? Oh...really? Oh well. She deserved it I bet." Wallace paused.
"Ok, well, I'll think about it. Yep. Byyyyeeeee!" Wallace hung up his phone and slid it in his pocket.

Cassie bit her lower lip a little...
" I.... I forgive you. It might be foolish of me but I do. I couldn't respond to you that day because I was so emotionally distraught that I ended up eating ice cream and watching Lifetime... lots of Lifetime."
Cassie appraoched him slowly.
" I love you...but I think we need to spend some time apart. I mean we've been back and forth like this forever and I'm tired Chris...I'm just tired of it. I don't want to be your second place. Call me greedy but I want it all or nothing. Plus I've realized since we've been dating I've been ignoring my friends... and that's NOT good. I can't just live in my own Cassie/ Chris world and forget about everyone else. I love you Chris ... I really do. But for now I NEED my space.. Maybe we should even see other people. It might be good... for both of us.."
Cassie sighed she finally got it out.. She then looked down at the ground not wanting to meet Chris's eyes..

I...
*Chris blinked.*
...am confused. I've always placed you first, Cassie. Or thought I did. You say you want it all or nothing but then you say you want space.
...
I'll...give you space if you want. If you need to see other people...that's...
*Chris trailed off. It hurt but he didn't want to make Cassie feel bad. He just wanted her to be happy.*
I just want you to be happy. But, I don't have any interest in dating anyone else. Maybe that makes me clingy like Teddy said but that's how I feel. I love you.

You can cut off the serpent's head, but that doesn't mean it will die. The gossip that Mary had started continued spreading even without her on campus. Donnie Blake, Julian Heller and Joanne Cargill especially found it interesting.
Donnie was pissed because of the way Cassie was dancing around Hartley at the party. If she was doing that with a gay guy and snubbing him, what did that mean? To Donnie, it meant that Cassie was a b***h and that Hartley needed his nose punched in. Being bonded to the Norse God of Thunder didn't make Donnie an expert on humanity.
The three of them prowled campus, trying not to attract any teacher attention, of course, since it was becoming well-known that Wayne was pushing his anti-bullying agenda very hard. But there were ways to get around that...like for instance finding Hartley down by the lake, the very furthest edge of campus, practicing his flute...

Cassie's eye were watery... as she looked into Chris's eyes..
" You always placed me first huh?! Yet the minute you thought I cheated on you..which I DIDN'T you come up with some lame-brain scheme to get even with me. You don't question it, you didn't feel sorrow, only revenge. That's called being Possessive! That's NOT love!"
Tears were streaming down Cassie's cheeks now.
" This whole break-up/ make-up thing we've been doing it's getting OLD fast! And don't say you're not going to date anyone else.. because you already dated Lisa and everyone knows when you first came to the party it was with Karen. So tell me what do want Chris?! What the hell do you want from me?!"
Cassie didn't want to be so angry and blunt but really the way she saw things... Chris broke up with her for Lisa and now somehow he thinks just because he apologized it would make it all better? They had broken up and made up so many times Cassie was tired... physically, mentally, and emotionally tired. Why did Chris always think her world had revolve around him?

"Heya, Hart-fart."
Joanne stood with her arms crossed, flanked by Donnie and Julian on either side of her, a confident smile on her face. Hartley looked up lightly from his playing.
A breeze came over the lake.
"Heard you got into a lover's quarrel with the spaz. Didja all wind up in a three-way afterward?"
"Huh huh, three-way." Donnie chimed in. Hartley looked nonplussed. He was in the music. He kept playing. Julian sneered.
"You'd better stop playing that flute before we shove it up your-"
"Nah, he'd enjoy that, Jules."
"I was gonna say nose!"
Hartley looked down again, at the lake, still playing the soft, trilling music. Donnie stomped up to him.
"I don't know what kind of dumbass game you were playing at the party, Rathaway, but I've got my eyes on Cassie, so you stay the hell away from her, got it?"
The music got louder. Donnie, Joanne and Julian all seemed sort of lost for a bit. Joanne shook her head.
"Guys, I just realized..."
"What's that, Joanne?"
"I just realized that I'm a dolphin! Ee-ee-eee! Eee-eee-eee!"
With that, Joanne dove into the water and started swimming, jumping up and flapping her hands like they were fins. Julian scratched his head.
"She's a dolphin? I never knew that before! By the way....I'm a duck!"
Julian squatted down and waded out into the water.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
Donnie couldn't believe what he was seeing. He turned to look at Hartley, who was still concentrating on his musical performance.
"Is that you doing that?! Oh, I am going to kick your a** for humiliating-rrrrrrrribit!"
Donnie suddenly lost interest in Hartley, and hopped onto the nearest lily pad floating in the lake. Of course, being a big football player, he just wound up cannonballing into the water with a giant splash. Donnie sat there, croaking contentedly.
Hartley finished his song, stood up and took a bow at the three sitting in the water.
"Impressions of the water. An original composition. Enjoy your new lives, jerks."
Yeah, it wouldn't last forever. But it would last several days, and well long enough to keep the three of them from playing in the big football game this weekend. Hartley skipped as he walked back to the dorms.
He was feeling SO much better.

You think I wasn't heartbroken when I saw the clone kissing Jack? I felt miserable! The whole revenge thing wasn't about possessing you...it was about not confronting you. Or my feelings. It was mistake, a stupid mistake.
*Chris went to wipe Cassie's tears but thought she may not want to be touched.*
I really didn't date Lisa. I said I would I spent a half day with her in which she bragged about herself, her brother, and showed me to her friends like I was show pony. And Karen drug me to that party because I was busy beating myself up over you. I didn't even want to be there.
...
And...I just...want you. I want to go to the stupid dances at this school with you. To sit around with our friends and eat pizza. To watch sunsets, to watch silly movies, and to be...together. Seeing you this upset is killing me. I don't want to hurt you...I just want you to be happy. Whatever you need to be happy, just tell me. I'll do it. If you want me to leave you alone, I'll do it. Just tell me.

Cassie looked down... she was trying to not to start bawling... She sniffed a little and was a little shaken. She didn't look at Chris, this entire time she wanted to hold him, but she didn't look him in the eyes... But looked down at her feet. She spoke in a small voice almost a whisper.
' I need many things to be happy .....but what I need most is you..."
Cassie then turned her back to Chris and started to walk away. She loved Chris... she loved the times they spent together making stupid jokes and watching movies. But at the same time she did feel that he was clingy and she didn't want to ignore her friends. And whether or not Chris will admit it... it did seem like Lisa genuinely cared about him... If she made him happy...then that would be fine.

*Chris rushed after Cassie and spun her around. He kissed her softly on the lips and pressed his forehead against hers.*
I will give you whatever you need to be happy. Because you make me happy. I'll try and back off if you need me to. Okay?

Cassie put her arms around Chris and kissed him back... She then looked at him with a smile..
" Okay Chris.."
It was then Cassie heard some strange quacking sounds. She noticed Donnie, Joanne, and Julian all in the water..
"I wonder what got into them?"

Football hazing maybe? I stopped trying to understand football players long ago. It's why I play baseball instead.
Maybe we should call someone? They could have cracked...
*Chris pulled out his cell phone and called over to the med clinic. Soon, Nurse Foley and Dr. Sampson had rushed down to the lake and were attempting to coax the three players from the water.*

Achilles frowned at the two boys, Chon Li and Brin Londo, as they explained a piece of the plan that the football team were busily preparing.
"So," Brin said with a dark smile on his face. "You in?"
Achilles just simply...stared, at the raw nerve of the two boys and shook his head.
"No, I most certainly am not. What did the two ever do to deserve that form of treatment?"
"What did they do?" Chon repeated incredulously. "It's more like what they didn't do? You didn't see them getting double detentions like the rest of us did!"
Achilles asked, "Have you considered the possibility that neither was at the party so that may be why neither was punished?"
"Sude!" Chon said. "You were there! You got double detention AND had to pay for the repairs to the jacuzzi!"
"Yeah, what did you and Durlin do in there to that Creote guy?" Brin said, then he closed his eyes and shook his head. "Never mind. Forget I asked. Point is, aren't you mad?"
Achilles smiled, "No I rather enjoyed myself. It was a detention well earned."
"No!" Brin shouted. "I am talking about..."
"I am aware of what you are talking about, and my answer remains the same." Achilles said darkly. "They did nothing to me to deserve such treatment."
"Oh yeah?" Brin countered. "What about what Rathaway said about...?"
Achilles interrupted, "Think very hard whether you wish to finish this season in a full body cast before you finish that question, Londo."
Brin narrowed his eyes and thought of his options, and his chances, and knew better than to complete that gauntlet thrown. He nodded.
"Fine. I just figured you'd want to support your own, but hey. I guess in a way, you already are...if you get my drift."
Brin turned and walked away with Chon Li trailing after him, leaving Achilles watching them momentarily, until he turned and left the area himself.

"What?"Wallace was back on the phone leaving class, "He...what?....oh. I kind of always thought he was since he .... you know, seemed to dig Teddy for a bit, but I didn't think he was ou-- oh. Really? Weird." Wallace shrugged then headed back to his dorm, pausing outside of Hartley's door for a second. "Can I call you back? Thanks." He snapped his cell phone shut and slid it in his pocket.
Wallace knocked on Hartley's door. "Hey...Hartley?"
