Shifty eyes.... Whispering voices... Kennedy was starting to regret trying to help out Von. And he had really sunk his own boat in the end. She had still messed things up with marc... and now all his girls... were ignoring him.
Kennedy hung out with the worst of the worst. The jealous bimbo's with no brain and an overinflated sex drive. Summer, his favorite, was one of the largest gossips in school. She could take a small story and make it huge. And thats what she had done.
Kennedy was feeling the lack of his girls. Usually he had a girl hanging on his arm every where he went. Von... if she went with him... hardly touched him. He growled. His aura was dark enough to bite someone. He didn't dislike von... but he really didn't feel he should have to sacrifice his...girl time...to be with her... especially since they... weren't really...together. He sighed and glanced at a few of the girls he, just the other day, was kissing.

Von heard the whispers and saw the looks but made a point of ignoring them. She had told Kenny that if he went this route his social life would be affected. Hers had too but when the girls weren't shooting daggers at her they were wondering how she'd gotten Kenny to commit. A few had even asked her for advice. So for the most part she was happy with the whole thing, but one look at Kenny that morning and she knew he wasn't. Of course the two hadn't done anything to fuel the rumors it seemed them just being seen together casually was enough to do that. With a smile on her face she waved at Kenny to get his attention. "Hey Kenny!" As she got closer she tried to ignore the new wave of stares.

Kennedy smiled and walked straight over to von. With a grin he put his arm around her shoulder. "Hey... Whats up?" His cunning mind was twisting and turning. He, being the chivalrous type, wouldn't tell her no if she wanted to continue....'going out'. However, he had noticed the lack of a decent answer.
"Come walk with me for a bit...." He waited till all the watching eyes and listening ears were too far away to hear them. "So? Do you still want everyone to think your my newest girl?"

Von raised an eyebrow as he placed his arm around her but allowed him to lead her away. His words though had her smile frozen in place. " I don't remember saying I was your girl. Though it seems many have thought so." She paused and nibbled on her lower lip as she thought. " I must admit I had wondered what it would be like. Though the only difference is people stare at me or want advice." What she wasn't going to tell him was that she advised them not to throw themselves at his or any boys feet to get noticed. " I don't think I'd mind things staying as they are but you don't seem very happy. Why?" She was curious what he thought of the whole thing and why he seemed so upset.

Kennedy couldn't find any way to put this without sounding like an a**. "I don't know... I guess some of my friends just don't like that i picked one girl over the lot of them..." He shrugged and leaned against the wall and watched her. "So you want things to stay this way?"
He smirked..."Ok... Come here." He held out his hand to her.

Von raised an eyebrow in question but placed her hand in his. What was he up to now and what did he mean? Then a thought crossed her mind, was he going to kiss her? She wasn't sure how she felt about that, she knew Vi couldn't wait to be kissed, but would she be like Vi after this? These and many more questions filled her mind as she took a step forward prepared for whatever happened.

Kennedy placed his fingers in between her fingers and they interlaced nicely. "Do you know what is involved being with a guy like me... " He grinned. "You get dragged into all my problems..." He laughed at himself. "Which seem to be many... as I have a brother her... and his problems are my problems..." He pulled her softly, giving her the option to pull away if she needed.
"Next, I have this... need.... " He gave a roguish grin. "Not anything X rated mind you... Just someone to hold my hand in the hall... and kiss me before i go up to bed..." He placed his other hand on her hip. "What do you say to that."

Von let him pull her closer without any resistance after all she'd thought of this possibility hadn't she? Need? Kissing could be a need? Ok she wasn't too keen on that idea but it had butterflies going into hyperdrive in her stomach and she was a bit afraid she'd get sick. As he placed his hand on her hip she looked down intrigued before looking up into his eyes and placed the hand not held by him on his upper arm. She didn't think she could speak but her voice was soft, almost a whisper. "Alright."

Marc had just come out of the hall and was headed back to the common room however on a gut instinct he looked over his shoulder. His eyes fell on a couple in a warm embrace. He smiled until he saw who it was. And then his stomach flipped on itself.
Kennedy smiled. "Alright." He moved slow. No need to frighten her by moving too quickly. His head tilted ever so slightly and he leaned forward just a bit more to place a kiss on her lips. He hesitated a moment and then pulled back. He must have closed his eyes somewhere in there because when he opened his eyes he saw her lovely face for just a few moments and then he saw an angry red face that appeared right next to her.
Marc was furious.
Kennedy, for once in his life could say the shorter boy intimidated him slightly. Then he remembered that he was bigger and had fought before. Kennedy let go of von, giving her an apologetic glance. No one's first kiss should be ruined by a jealous ex... or... what ever marc was.
Marc Glared daggers and waited till von was safely out of reach. And then out of no where. His fist flew out. Marc wasn't a violent person. He personally felt you could talk anything out. But he was seeing red and all he wanted was to beat the crap out of Kenny.
Kennedy had been walking toward marc with the intent to talk about the issues at hand. He wanted things to be ok with marc... however, he couldn't see a way in the near future to be friends with marc. "Just calm..." He didn't see it coming and he caught marc's punch to the side of his face. He was stunned for a moment and then lifted a hand to his mouth. Marc had split his lip. "So... thats how you wanna play." Marc was swinging again. Kennedy moved quickly and let marc's punch fly by him not letting marc get another punch in but yet not throwing any punches either. "Calm down... We can talk this out...."

Von's eyes had closed when he'd bent towards her and her stomach had flipped a couple of times before he pulled back and her eyes fluttered open. She smiled shyly at him at first but then realized he was moving her aside and she caught sight of Marc. She stood in shock as Marc reached back and punched Kenny. Was this the kid who just told her the other day that there wasn't a need for violence when she punched his fiance? Suddenly she was mad as she watched Marc attempt to hit Kenny again. She moved around the fight til she was right behind Marc. "What do you think you're doing?!" She shouted at him before finding her opening and stepped between the two. She doubted Kenny would think she' was protecting him but if Marc was out of his mind enough to hit her she'd more or less hit him back and probably twice as hard.

It wasn't that he wanted to hit her. It wasn't that he aimed for her... but the fact that she jumped in the way of his fist as it was already going. He tried to check the punch however it was going to fast. He was going to hit her. The thought made his stomach roll. he closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.
However the inevitable became the not so inevitable. He opened his eyes to see Kennedy had caught his wrist with his left hand. Three words came from Kennedy. "Dude, Not cool."
Marc took a deep breath and looked at Von and then shook his head. Wrenched his arm free. "Fine..." He gave one more look at Kennedy and then left.
Kennedy released his breath. He must have been holding it. He really wasn't sure he could catch that fist. He had seen it heading for von and the fact that he was going to hit a girl, made him angry. He turned to Vonali. "Are you ok?"

Von stared in shock when Kenny caught Marc's arm. She was fully prepared to take the punch. She could see that Marc had tried to slow it down but he'd been ready to knock Kenny flat when she'd stepped in. She numbly nodded at Kenny's question. " I should go talk to him, but I don't think that's the smart thing to do." She leaned into Kenny, it seemed she was always at a loss for what to do and how to handle Marc. " I could have taken that punch but I'd have hit him back. I think you did him more of a favor then me. What should I do?" Kenny was a boy too so maybe he knew what she should do. Marc said they could be friends still did that mean she couldn't be with anyone else? That didn't sound like friendship to her. And it never crossed her mind that maybe Kenny didn't want to be in this kind of a situation and that he could back out of it at any time.

Marc went to his common room.
Kennedy held her to him as she leaned in. "No... let him go." His lip was bleeding and it hurt something fierce. He touched his lip and winced. "Walk with me to the infirmary?" His logic wasn't to get fixed up but if he showed up it would seem he walked into a wall or something... And Marc wouldn't get in trouble. However, kennedy felt that it would be a suitable punishment for almost hitting a girl.
"Let him be mad... He has a right to be." He shrugged and took her hand heading in the direction of the common room instead of the hospital wing...He would just ignore it. "After all." He smiled and winced slightly before taking on a teasing tone. "You are someone who is worth fighting for."

Von nodded, he was prolly right. Let Marc cool down and she'd talk to him in or after class tomorrow. She raised an eyebrow as he suggested going to the infirmary but stepped next to him. Though his final words as he took her hand had her blushing just slightly and she snickered. " I think that hit confused ya a bit. This ain't the way to the infirmary. That scratch looks bad. Could get infected." Her tone was also teasing. Though part of her was impressed that Marc had it in him to hit someone hard enough to give the other person a split lip. And then she realized they'd never settled what brought them out there in the first place. Though looking at their linked hands maybe they had.

Kennedy smiled "You will take care of me... no need to go to the infirmary." He grinned and squeezed her hand to continue toward the common room. All he really wanted to do was head off and get his keyboard. "We can go and practice some..." He winked. A playful gesture. He seemed to be in the habit of comforting those around him even when he was the one hurt... He thought about that... maybe she was actually the victim here.
