Episode Fifty-One
Season Two Premiere: June 26, 2001

Francesca's lips parted as if words were about to leave them. Her eyes, widened and dialated with fear, were pleading with Allan to calm down and listen to her, but the shocked and hurt looked on her face told her otherwise.

"What are you staring at?" Amante asked bluntly.

Allan paid no heed to Amante's question. His eyes were locked onto Francesca. The girl who had kept the key to his heart for over a year had been kissing another boy. His head cocked slightly to the left in confusion.

"Allan, please." The words burst from Francesca's mouth. Her hand reached out slightly as if to touch Allan, but he quickly jerked out of her reach.

"Ah, yes. Allan Benton. I remember you from earlier," Amante said cluelessly, a smile appearing on your face. "I hope you'll excuse my girlfriend and me. We got...caught up in the moment."

"Amante, shut up!" Francesca snapped.

"Girlfriend?" Allan whispered almost inaudibly. His eyes shifted back and forth between a frightened Francesca and a confused Amante. Then, his eyes darkened with anger. His entire body tensed as if ready to spring upon Amante like a lion upon its prey.

Noticing the change in Allan, Francesca pleaded, "Allan, just calm down and listen to me. Let me explain what happened."

"Shut up! Just shut the h*ll up!" Allan yelled, his eyes resting upon Amante.

"Allan, please..."

"SHUT UP!" Allan shouted again. He balled his fists up and clenched his jaw, a deadly calm descending upon the three of them. Blood rushing to his head and adrenaline pumping through his body, he delivered a powerful right hook to Amante's left jaw.

The impact sent Amante sprawling onto the crisp green lawn behind him. For a moment, he only stared at Allan dumbly. He couldn't imagine why Allan had come leaping upon him as he did, but he knew that he couldn't sit around and take it in front of Francesca. He rose up to counterattack.

"Amante, no!" Francesca placed herself between the two boys. Placing a restraining hand on both of their chests, she looked back and forth between them. "Don't fight! Let's talk, boys. Please, let's talk!"

Allan laughed, but anger still remained prominent in his voice. "What's there to talk about, Francesca? I walk up on you kissing this stranger, here-"

"Stranger? I am no stranger! I am Francesca's boyfriend!" Amante broke in, deciding then and there to set the record straight. "I don't know how you know her...unless..." the wheels slowly began turning in Amante's head. He turned his head to look at Francesca, "Is he-"

"Yes, Amante!" Francesca interrputed, putting her hands to her face. "He is my boyfriend! He is the reason why I broke things off with you! Why couldn't you just leave like I asked? Why?"
