Disclaimers: I own the children. But technically their parents own them. Any traits inherited from the original eight belong to the writers of Roswell.
Distribution: Ask and thou shall receive.
Authors note: Sorry this sucks so much!
“For your assignment on our family unit chapter I want you to pair up with a member of the opposite sex and read the last of the first chapter of your textbook. There is an activity on the review page. I expect that to be finished and turned in when you give your oral synopsis of your lifestyle and so forth. You can have the entire hour to partner up and work on this. Other than that I expect this to be finished over the weekend.” Mrs. Donavon said writing the page numbers on the dry erase board before walking to the back of the room to sit at her desk.
Josh made a mad dash across the room for the empty seat next to Amanda.
Eddie shook his head at them as a guy walking through the narrow isle accidentally pushed a girl into his lap.
“Hey watch where you going.” Julie called out to the boy who didn’t even apologize.
“More idiot east jocks?” Eddie asked not moving.
“Why do you think it’s just the east jocks that are idiots. From as far as I have seen you’re not setting a much better example for your fellow team mates, Edward.” She said with a sarcastic smile.
“This is jut an assignment Ms. Bradfield. I didn’t mean for you two get so into it.” Mrs. Donavon called to the two teenagers who had yet to untangle themselves.
Julie quickly hoped off of Eddie’s lap and sat in the seat next to him with bright red cheeks.
Nicole looked up from the poem she was writing to see Walter Franklin casually making his way to her desk, but considering the huge klutz he was it was not as casually as one would like. He flipped over an entire desk with his huge feet.
Kelly Finch intercepted quickly though.
Nicole let out a loud sigh of breath as Walter and Kelly quickly found two empty seats and started to finish the chapter.
“Who doesn’t have a partner?” Mrs. Donavon called out as she looked up from her grade book.
Nicole, Thomas, and Jenny Selle raised their hands.
“Thomas and Jenny will be together and I’m afraid Miss Guerin will be our lone ranger for the assignment.” The teacher said with a small smile.
“I wouldn’t be the lone ranger if Randy could manage to make it to seventh hour on time.” Nicole muttered to herself.
As if on cue none other than Randy Jackson walked through the door out of breath.
“Mrs. Donavon, I’m so sorry. Coach wanted me to…” Randy began but was soon cut off.
“Don’t worry about it Mr. Jackson. You’re partner is Ms. Guerin she’ll be happy to fill you in on the assignment.” Mrs. Donavon said with a bright smile.
Randy smiled and walked to the nearest empty seat near Nicole.
“I hate how jocks get special privileges.” Nicole grumbled as Randy pulled the seat up next to hers.
“We deserve those special privileges.” Randy said scooting over closer to his girl friend.
“And why is that?” Nicole asked moving her chair.
“Because we’re sweet and kind and smart and generous and hot and godly and built and great kissers and…” Randy began with a dazzling grin.
“Conceited.” Nicole finished for him.
“Well yeah, that too.” He said grabbing a pencil out from behind Nicole’s ear.
“What are you doing?” She asked as he tore a sheet of paper out from her binder and began to write.
“Why does it matter?” He asked not looking up from the paper.
“Because that’s my paper and my pencil.” She said trying to look over his shoulder.
“Correction my pencil.” He said as he handed her the sparkle alien pencil.
“Well if you want to get technical…” She said grabbing it and putting it back into its place.
“So what’s our assignment?” He asked putting his feet in the rack of the desk in front of him.
“Read.” She commanded as she pointed to the paper in front of him.
“Just tell me.” Randy pleaded his jade eyes trying to catch a glimpse of her gray ones.
She sighed heavily as if making a huge sacrifice, “It basically says we have to write about our future family. We have to make a believable financial report, we have to tell of an outing our entire family attended, and we have to share our personal thoughts about being married, and having a family.”
“Oh bite me.” Randy mumbled under his breath thinking of all the work he already had on his plate.
“Don’t tempt me.” Nicole said as she started to write things down.
Randy smiled as he leaned in towards her so that they were resting against one another.
“Does it say how many kids we have?” Randy asked.
“No, just that we have to have at least one.” Nicole said rereading the directions.
“OK, so how many do you want?” Randy asked glancing at her paper, “Six?” Randy asked his eyes bulging.
“Is there a problem with six?” Nicole asked defensively.
“I don’t think we can actually support that many.” Randy said shaking his head writing a four right under her number.
“Depends on what our jobs are.” Nicole said turning to face him.
“Well I’m going to be a pro football player and you’re going to work at home to take care of the little munchcines.” Randy said with a serious look even though they both knew he was doing it only to get a rise out of her.
“No, you’re not going to be a foot ball player. You know how bad they get hurt? And if you dare think I’m staying home…” Nicole began her long lecture as she pointed at Randy with a pencil.

“She looks hostile.” Jenny Selle said as she glanced from Nicole to Randy and back again.
“She is.” Thomas said as he glanced over to his cousin and her boyfriend then back to his blank paper.
“Looks like the new couple isn’t have such a great time in paradise.” Jenny said turning back to face her partner.
“That is what they look like when they’re having a great time.” Thomas said glancing from his paper to her and back down to the paper.
“So what are you going to be?” Thomas asked filling out the questions.
“A super model.” Jenny said instantly.
“No, really?” Thomas asked looking up.
Thomas’ eyes went wide as Jenny’s glared at him.
“Being a super model won’t give our family stability. Financially yes it would be great, but emotionally you wouldn’t be able to be there for our children.” Thomas tried to explain.
“Children? We’re having more than one?” Jenny asked condescendingly.
“Yeah, we are.” Thomas said not backing down, proudly displaying his mother’s backbone.
“You sure about that?” Jenny asked icily.
“Not completely… ” Thomas began his father’s back bone now showing, or lack there of…
*
“You know how much it’s going to cost to send three kids to camp?” Eddie asked his ‘wife’.
“Well we could just cut your season tickets for the Lakers.” Julie said sternly.
“I was think we would cut your seasonal tickets actually. I mean come on the Bulls suck.” Eddie said glancing over to her.
“I have a pencil… do not tempt me.” Julie said holding it up to his face.
“The Lakers aren’t that good any way.” Eddie said swallowing hard.

“Class dismissed, have a great weekend.” The teacher called out as she watched he students file out of class.
“So you coming over to work on this or what?” Nicole asked as she picked up her books.
“I have practice, remember?” Randy asked wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
“I can wait.” Nicole said quietly.
“You don’t mind?” Randy asked bewildered.
“No.” She said smiling up at him.
Might as well get use to this, Nicole thought.
*
“You going over to Josh’s?” Nicole asked Amanda as she came over to say goodbye.
“Yeah. Not quite ready for him to meet the parents.” Amanda said.
“It’s been over a month you can’t hide space boy forever you know?” Nicole said with a smile.
“I wouldn’t want to.” Amanda said smiling over at Josh where he stood beside Thomas and Eddie.
“Later chica. I have to go watch my boy get the stuffing beat out of him over a ball.” Nicole said slinging her book bag over her shoulder.
“Your first practice? You must be excited.” Amanda called after her.
“Excited?” Nicole asked whirling around.
“You‘re sharing something he loves that you hate. It’s so sweet. I know he must be excited that his girlfriend cares enough about him to go watch.” Amanda said shaking her head.
“Yeah I bet he’s stoked about getting the crap smashed out of him in front of his girl.” Nicole said with a sarcastic smile, “Later.”
“Nic… why haven’t you left. The twins are already gone.” Thomas said looking at her quizzically as she approached them.
“I’m staying to watch practice.” She admitted her eyes daring anyone to even breathe.
“Yeah well I’ve so got to get a move on. I’m late. You can hang with Julie. She’s coming home with me and she has to stay during practice too.” Eddie said snapping his book bag securely and walking off quickly
“I have to go call ‘Jenny the Great’ and tell her where I live.” Thomas said mournfully as he hung his head and walked towards the parking lot exit.
“He got stuck with the stuck up?” Josh asked Nicole.
“The one and unfortunately not the only.” Nicole said to Josh before he gave her a brief smile and walked off towards his awaiting girlfriend.
*
Nicole sat on the high school bleachers watching West Roswell High’s football team practice.
Julie sat in the corner watching the boys while trying to do her biology homework.
The coach blew the whistle catching the players attention. They all filled into the locker rooms one by one as the coach walked towards the equipment bag to find something.
*
“Nice practice dude.” A player called to Randy as he walked passed him on the way to the showers.
“Yeah, loved your little audience there.” Allan Johnson called out taking his pads off and exposing his bare chest.
“Hey be nice man, you don’t want to offend the freak lover, now do you?” One of the players asked with a laughing tone.
None of the others said a word. It wasn’t very smart to talk about a Guerrin, Whitman, Valenti or Evans, especially if you were in a locker room with Eddie Valenti.
But Eddie stood in the corner by his locker not moving. His face was placid and his body stone. His eyes were wide and alive and his tightly clenched fists were across his bare chest. If they only knew what he could do to them… that was his blood. Nicole was like a little sister to him… But he wanted to see how Jackson handled this one and if Randy didn’t handle it soon he would and it wasn’t going to be pretty.
Randy calmly took his pads off and placed them into his locker before turning to face Allan, a guy he truly despised.
“Listen pie boy, why don’t you just leave my girlfriend alone?” Randy asked crossing his arms in front of him.
“So freak girl is your girlfriend? I thought I’d seen everything but this… I never thought I’d live to see the day when she’d date a jock.” Allan said bitterly.
“You mean date them and not punch their lights out, right?” Randy asked a smirk on his face.
“She probably has a better punch than you Jackson. I wouldn’t be surprised she is quite masculine looking.” Allan said making everyone look at him in disbelief.
“If you don’t shut up we’re going to have a little problem.” Randy said all trace of his smirk gone. His fist becoming white from the tension in the muscles, “Like last time.”
“I’m so very scared. You don’t exactly have three other guys on your side now, now do you?” Allan asked stepping towards him.
“I don’t need them. Not for you.” Randy said his anger clearly displayed.
“Oh come on, don’t tell me you’re actually willing to fight over my sloppy seconds.” Allan asked cockily.
That was all it took. Randy rammed his shoulders into Allan’s midsection as hard as he possibly could and Allan hit the lockers behind them, the lock slamming into his back before he fell to the ground. Randy straddled him and continually smashed his fist into Allan’s face. He felt a disturbing pleasure as he heard the crack of Allan’s nose breaking.
Eddie rushed over to the boys quickly separating them. As much as he loved watching Allan get the crap knocked out of him he didn’t feel like reviving him so that his cousin’s boyfriend didn’t go to prison for first degree murder.
“Let go!” Randy yelled as he felt Eddie pick him up by the waist and dragged him across the small locker room.
“Calm down.” Eddie said letting him go.
“You want me to calm down? That guy tried to rape your cousin and he just insulted her in front of the entire team!” Randy hissed at the other boy.
“I just don’t want Nicole to get hurt out of all of this. Go to the showers and get ready to leave.” Eddie commanded not leaving room for discussion.
Randy reluctantly walked towards the showers, his teammates parting so he could do so.
Eddie turned his vision to the boy who was still lying on the ground. He walked quickly over to the crowd that was around him.
Allan looked up at Eddie his eyes half closed because they were already swelling. Eddie smiled down at the boy. Taking pleasure in his pain.
He quickly departed to the showers hoping to catch Randy.
“Hey Jackson.” Eddie called out his voice even.
“What now?” Randy asked turning around.
“Listen, what you did in there,” Eddie began referring to the open area of the locker room that was no loner visible to them. “It was stupid.”
“Thanks for the support. But frankly I don’t care what you think. I care about Nicole and I will not let him or any one else treat her like that.” Randy said in a huff.
“It was stupid because if Nicole knew I let you get in a fight she’d kill me.” Eddie clarified with a smile before stepping into the showering area himself.
“But if you wouldn’t have done it I would have beat the crap out of both of you.” Eddie said not turning around.
Randy glanced over to the other boy before stepping into his own stall.
*
“Next time you give me directions warn me that there are over three house painted the same color as yours, OK?” Jenny snarled at Thomas on his front porch.
“It’s called an address.” Thomas retorted before opening the door and letting her inside his immaculate house.
“Nice place. Where will we be continuing this lame project at?” Jenny asked her eyes darting around.
“I guess my room.” Thomas said as he looked into the kitchen to see his mother working on a case.
“OK.” Jenny said as she followed him to his living quarters.
“Just make your self comfortable.” Thomas said as he walked towards his computer desk and retrieved a pencil and a clipboard full of blank paper.
Jenny sat stiffly on the edge of the bed.
“So the corps thing is comfortable?” Thomas said as he plopped down beside her.
“I’ve never even been into a guy’s room before so yes. The corps thing is comfortable.” She snapped back.
*
“So, you ready to go?” Randy called up to Nicole who was deeply engrossed in something she was currently writing.
“What? Yeah.” Nicole said as she shoved everything into her backpack and made her way down the bleachers.
She peered over her boyfriend’s shoulder to see Allan walking out of the locker room. Walking out very slowly. He was limping. And his eyes were swollen, along with the rest of his face.
“What happened in there?” Nicole asked feeling Randy tense beside her when he saw what she saw.
“Come on let’s get out of here.” Randy said wrapping an arm around her shoulders and urging her to turn around and walk towards his car.
There was complete silence throughout the entire ride over to Nicole’s house. Even when they went inside he was quite.
“Come on let’s go up to my room to do this.” Nicole said as they walked through the door.
“No. You two are going to stay in the kitchen or in the living room. No argument.” Mark said as he walked around the corner to confront them.
“Says who?” Nicole asked ready to defy his authority.
“We do.” Matthew said coming up behind his brother.
“Come on honey.” Randy whispered down into her ear as he led her over to the kitchen table.
“So what happened to Allan?” Nicole asked as her brothers continued to pretend not to listen, but to raid the refrigerator.
“He couldn’t keep his mouth shut.” Randy said a bit uneasy as he removed his materials from his bag.
“Well it looks swollen shut now. It wasn’t like that today at school. He didn’t take any big hits during practice so… who did he piss off in the locker room?” Nicole asked.
“Who doesn’t Allan piss off?” Randy asked shrugging his shoulders.
“But dude, you were in there the entire time he was. You had to have saw something.” Nicole nagged not liking his isolation.
“Let’s get down to work and we can talk about this later.” Randy said sternly.
“OK.” Nicole said apprehensively.
Matthew and Mark looked at each other then back at Randy before going towards the living room to find the portable.
*
“Will you get off?” Julie asked Eddie with a piercing glaze.
They had only been in the house for thirty minutes and they had already had a fight over where they were going to live. Eddie had started poking her to get her to cave so Julia had grabbed his fingers. And he had gotten them away and grabbed her arms. Then she proceeded to try and pin him to his bed…. Now they lay there. Well, Julie lay there with Eddie sitting on her keeping her firmly in place until she caved.
“Will you cave?” Eddie asked seriously.
“Never.” Julie said a fire behind her beautiful eyes.
“You’re very cute when you’re stubborn.” Eddie said his face gently inching close to hers.
“I’m not cute.” Julie stated her voice lower as were her eyelids.
“You’re…” Eddie’s voice trailed off as he brought his head down another two inches. There was now nothing but a mere centimeter separating their lips.
As Julie began to lift her head up to kiss his lips the phone rang. Eddie jerked his head up just as her mouth would have grazed his.
“Hello?” Eddie asked as he jumped up and hit to speakerphone button.
“Eddie?” Matthew’s voice asked.
“Yeah Matt?” Eddie asked bring the phone off the base and to his ear, turning off the speakerphone.
“What happened in the locker room today?” Mark asked on the other portable.
“OK, doubled team am I? Why don’t you ask Randy? I know he’s over there.” Eddie said.
“He’s not being very giving with information.” Matt said in response.
“Has that ever stopped you before?” Eddie countered.
He was met with silence. Very stern silence.
“There was a fight between him and Allan. That’s all you need to know.” Eddie said hanging up the phone and going back over to his bed.
“What did Johnson do?” Julie asked looking over at Eddie as he plopped on the bed making the mattress sink and making her scoot towards him involuntarily.
“Long story. Now about the whole moving issue. I have a compromise.” Eddie said seriously.
“And what’s that?” Julie asked.
Eddie swiftly pushed her down on the bed and straddled her again keeping her hands above her head the whole time; “I let you up if you agree that we’ll live in Roswell.”
“Never!” Julie said loudly.
“Anyone ever told you your stubborn?” Eddie asked a smile playing at his handsome features.
*
“Hey Jackson, what happened between you and Allan in the locker room?” Mark asked as his brother and he jumped onto the counter top.
“What are you talking about?” Nicole asked eyeing them curiously.
“Your little boy toy here got into a fight with Allan Johnson today. We want to know why.” Matthew said not bothering to look at Nicole. His eyes were boring perfect little circles into the back of Randy’s head.
“You got into a fight with Allan?” Nicole asked the boy next to her.
“Can we talk about this later?” Randy asked his eyes glued to the paper in front of him.
“No.” Mark said sternly.
“Hey, buddy, not your decision!” Nicole barked at her brother before turning back to her boyfriend, “No!”
“It’s not really any of your business.” Randy said his voice rigid.
“None of my business?” Nicole asked in disbelief, “My boyfriend getting in a fight is none of my business?”
“Just lay off.” Randy said his irritation becoming evident.
“ No.” All three Guerins said at the same time.
“Fine! You really want to know why I fought with him?” Randy asked loudly as he stood up abruptly, “He was doing what he does best: running his mouth. He was spoutin’ off about you and me. Telling me your were nothing but sloppy seconds.” Randy finished leaning against the kitchen counter.
“And that gives you enough reason to fight?” Nicole asked.
“YES!” Three male voices bellowed.
“No it doesn’t! You could’ve gotten the crap beaten out of you. In that locker room there are only two Nicole supporters and a ton of Allan supporters.” She said standing up.
“Point?” Randy asked his voice still booming.
“You could’ve gotten hurt!” Nicole said clenching her fist tightly.
“But he obviously didn’t.” Mark reasoned.
“Besides would you rather have him stand by when people like Johnson talk trash about you?” Matt asked backing up his twin brother.
But all three of them could see it in her eyes. The deep steal tint that told them that she wasn’t backing down anytime soon.
*
“OK Jenny, I hate to burst your bubble but there’s no way we could actually vacation to Paris. Why don’t you come up with something… cheaper?” Thomas asked as he reviewed over the project data.
“We could afford it if we only had one child and if you let me be a super model!” Jenny growled in exasperation.
“Jenny, we’ve been over this. You’re going to design the clothes not wear them because it will produce a stronger emotional base for our family. Even though your beautiful and you could make a killing off your looks it’s better for the family.” Thomas said irritation evident in his voice.
‘He even thinks I’m beautiful when I annoy him…’ Jenny thought as she looked at Thomas in amazement.
“About the children… if you really only want one we can change the information. It’s just that sometimes it gets lonely being the only child.” Thomas said his gaze falling from her eyes and back down to the paper in front of him.
“Sometimes it is but sometimes, in certain painful situations, it’s better to be alone.” Jenny said with her shiny eyes cemented to her lap.
Thomas looked over at her. Under all that attitude and make-up sat a girl of pure vulnerability. She was stronger than she looked but at the same time she was so emotionally weakened… Thomas’ heart ached with sympathy and something else he was unable to identify… he wished he could just hold her in his arms and make what ever was hurting her disappear but he knew no special powers were that strong.
“I would never let my family be put in such a painful situation. I will always and have always done anything and everything to keep the people I love safe.” Thomas said not knowing what else to do.
“Disney World.” Jenny said looking over at Thomas her eyes now dry of all tears.
“Now you’re speaking my language!” Thomas cried as his eyes lit up.
*
“Now that we have all our data we should make a chart.” Amanda said rereading over their report.
“For our finances.” Josh said laying down the poster board beside his girlfriend, on the floor.
“After this we need to make up and document a family excursion.” Amanda said already measuring and drawing the boundary lines. Josh quickly filled in the areas with labels and the proper percentages before waving his hand over it and color coding it.
“That was quick.” Amanda said admiring their chart. They had always worked so well together.
“OK, I was thinking that we should go to the…” Josh began.
“Biology Center!” Amanda finished for him already knowing what he would suggest. Josh let a satisfied grin over come his handsome features.
“You are so amazing I can’t even process it.” He said sounding a lot dorkier than he intended.
Amanda crawled over to him and leaned against him. They sat there, on the carpet in Josh’s bedroom, just staring at each other’s eyes.
Josh let his hands trail up behind her and wrap themselves in her hair, urging her mouth towards his own.
*
“OK, about this trip thing I was thinking we could take the Tikes to a professional sports event.” Eddie said his head half way in the refrigerator.
“No. I was thinking just a nice intimate outing. The requirements don’t mention anything about age so I was thinking having them be about thirteen. We could take them to the park and play a game of basketball. And just enjoy ourselves.” Julie said.
“That could work. Hungry?” Eddie asked holding up a large pizza box.
“What kind?” Julie asked as she stood and strolled towards him.
“One half pepperoni and pineapple and one half just plain pepperoni.” He said putting the entire box into the microwave.
“Pepperoni only please. Who eats pepperoni and pineapple pizza?” Julia asked with a tone of disgust.
“Me and my mom.” Eddie said glaring at the microwave impatient to eat.
“You two must love the twister meals at the Crashdown.” Julie said shaking her head.
Eddie smiled thinking about the sweet and spicy versions of normal food that his Aunt Liz had added to the menu when her father had given her the restaurant.
“We do.” Eddie said after the microwave cut off and he took the pizza out and set it down on the kitchen table.
“Sweet and spicy just don’t mix.” Julie said shaking her head.
“Yes they do.” Eddie said giving her a pointed look.
“How?” Julie asked.
“Well you’re sweet,” Eddie said moving towards her quickly, “And I’m spicy,” He began again this time wrapping her in his arms, “And we definitely mix.” He finished kissing her hard.
“OK so sweet and spicy do mix.” Julie said when he finally let her breathe.
His eyes were still gazing down at her, the food long forgotten. She gently reached up and put her hand on the back of his neck urging his head foreword, she just couldn’t get enough of this combination
*
“I’m tired of fighting about this.” Randy said not meeting Nicole’s gaze head on.
“Then just tell me what possessed you to do such a thing.” Nicole said giving her two brothers a death glare. They seemed to take the hint because they both reluctantly got up and left.
“Because he shouldn’t have said that.” Randy said for what was the millionth time that afternoon.
“That doesn’t give you a right to get into a fight.” Nicole protested.
Randy looked at her and the anger inside of him diminished. He slowly walked over to where she stood. He leaned down and put his arms around her waist making her body lean against his own.
“He was being disrespectful to you and if there’s one thing I can’t stand is someone talking about the people I care for. I know you don’t like me fighting…” Randy began resting his chin on top of Nicole’s head.
“I just don’t want you to get hurt because of me.” Nicole said nuzzling her head into his strong shoulders.
“I like you.” Randy said in a child like voice.
“What?” Nicole asked confused as she looked up at him.
“I like you.” He said in the same voice with a small smile.
“I like you too.” Nicole said playing along.
“I like you more!” He said pouting out his lower lip slightly.
“I like you most!” Nicole said ready to play.
“I like you more than most! I like you mostestestestestest!” Randy countered.
“That’s not even a word!” Nicole cried.
“So?” Randy asked shrugging his shoulders slightly, “I think I’ll keep you.”
“Promise?” Nicole asked her gray eyes bright with blue sparkles.
Randy nodded his head zealously.
*
“OK class it’s time for your oral presentations! Any volunteers?” The teacher addressed the class as she sat down on top of her clean desk.
Instantly and not surprisingly Josh and Amanda’s hands pop up.
“Josh, Amanda, please come to the front and discuss your project.” The teacher said with a hint of amusement in her voice.
“Hello. I am Josh Evans and this is my wife Amanda Evans. We have been married for ten years and have acquired two children. We are both head scientists at Harvard University and our income ranges with in…” Josh began as he brought out their chart to explain.
*
“They brought a… a chart!” Nicole squealed into Randy’s ear.
“They’re Amanda and Josh… what did you expect?” Randy asked amused.
“Want to go next?” Nicole asked with out turning to him.
“Up to you.” He said examining their written report.
“Thomas and the Ice Queen beat us to it.” Nicole said leaning farther back in her seat so she could casually prop her hand on her boyfriend’s knee before turning her attention back to the front.
“Hi. We’re Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. We have two beautiful children who are currently the age of…” Jenny began to drone on.
*
“Jenny, have kids? Ha.” Julie whispered into Edward’s ear.
“I know Whitman wants them… but her? She’s so non-motherly like.” Edward whispered back his breath brushing Julie’s ear.
“Yeah I know. So Julie what are we?” Edward asked the question that had been plaguing his mind since their little adventure in the kitchen.
“Next.” Julie said as she stood up to give their oral report.
*
“They make me sick.” Randy said to Nicole as he gestured to Amanda and Josh who were now staring deep into each other’s eyes.
“Why don’t we ever do that?” Nicole asked eyeing her boyfriend with mock hurt.
“Because we know how to express our selves better than that.” He said as he raised his eyebrows.
“Well you know tomorrow Mr. Hartford has a meeting with the school board during 5th and I doubt any one would notice if two students juts happened to skip…” Nicole began a devilish glint in her eyes.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. You’re the only ones left.” The teacher called from the front breaking into Nicole’s tempting words.
Randy mumbled curse words under his breath as he walked towards the front behind Nicole.
“Hello. I’m Mr. Jackson and this is my wife Mrs. Jackson. We have five children. Three of them attend West Roswell High and the other two can be found at…” Randy began as so many had began before him.
*
“Think they have enough kids?” Josh asked Amanda as he scooted his chair over to sit right against her small frame.
“You’ve met them… you tell me.” Amanda said as she leaned into her boyfriend’s side listening to the story Nicole was now telling.
The End
