Not So Secret Life of the Average American 16-year-old

A.V. Room

*knock knock*

"Hey open up assholes! It's time to go!" Lucas said while pounding the door.

After waiting a moment Lucas had his fist up to pound again, when the door slowly creeped open and two very blushed teenagers walked out toward their group of impatient friends. Almost instantely everyone started laughing, everyone except for Mike and El, they were too busy hiding their blushed faces.

"ooh Mike get sommmeeeeee" A collective laughter taunted.

"Nooooooooo" the boy groaned while trying to hide an even deeper shade of burgundy currently appearing on his face. "We were just..." he froze.

"studying"

"Yea we were studying!"

The collection of teens couldn't hold back the laughter.

"oh yea sure "studying" Last I checked this was the A.V. room not the B.J. room" Lucas added snarkily.

"WE WEREN'T OHMYGOD! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

Everyone could sense the growing annoyance in Mike and El

"ok...ok I guess we should give the two love birds a break, after all we should probably get home"

The group agreed and began to walk out of the school.

(minutes later at Lucas's car)

Lucas had gotten into the drivers seat and motioned for Max to sit upfront with him, looking very uncomfortable, she agreed. The rest of the teens attempted to pile into the backseat.

"You've got to be kidding me, there is no way this is legal, I am walking home!" groaned a growingly frustrated Mike.

Following suit El rolled out of her position lodged between Will and Dustin in a very uncomfortable manner. Seeing as El would much rather walk home with Mike than spend another minute dealing with their pissy moods.

"Uh yea haha you guys are gonna "walk" home to continue whatever was happening earlier" Lucas laughed while the other boys pretended to do airfists towars their mouths.

"Yea right assholes! That's not what was happening! Maybe I just want a break from your virgin asses" Mike said very well knowing it would cause a rise seeing as he himself was still a virgin.

Frowning, Lucas quickly pulled out of the parking lot, flipping Mike the bird.

Without any further thought Mike returned the gesture.

"Wow what a stick he has up his ass amiright?" No one could answer but they all silently agreed, apart from Will who had always been closest to Mike.

"I am so sorry El... they're just being jerks..." Mike sajd obviously ashamed.

"I know... We weren't lying... Friends don't lie"

"Ellie boo," The frustration was growing obvious in her eyes.

"... I know... they are just being jerks to get a reaction out of us..."

Mike saw the obvious tears welling in El's eyes, he quickly pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed the top of her head, holding this position to just smell her, she smelled so nice, like flowers and happiness.

"All that matters is that you and I know the truth... I love you so much and don't want to do stuff like *that* if you're not ready."

There was a sweet silence while El thought. Suddenly she looked up and nodded

"I love you..." Turning a shade of red as if she'd never said thag before, she attempted to hide this new shade by burrowing herself into his chest. "I love you so much but..." Mike turning his face into a frown but instantely started smiling again "we should start walking home" El glared.

"You're so mean! You scared me!"

"I know" Mike laughed

"C'mon we need to start walking" He said pointing at the now grey skies.

-meanwhile in a car driving slightly under the speed limit-

"Why do you drive sooooooooo slow?" Dustin said rolling his eyes.

"Cause I am responsible unlike some of you... bumming rides off of me *except for Max of course*" He snapped back at his now noticibly large friend.

"Mhm sure"

"Atleast we're almost there" Will added.

*The car slowly pulled into the driveway and let the group of teens out*
