Before the Senior Trip

AN: Yes, there is a sexy scene at the end, but I wrote it while half-asleep, so I can't promise any epic steaminess. =/

----------

Early February, Senior year

Ryle sat down in his usual seat in his senior class study hall, which was held in the cafeteria to accommodate everyone in the senior class, and was soon joined by Shane, who sat down next to him with a smile. Suddenly, their friends Jaysin Carson and Ian Miliani appeared. They were both on the varsity bowling team with Ryle, and were also planning on going on the senior trip to New York City. Next to Ian was his girlfriend, Jade, who was also a member of the bowling team – though there was a separate boys' team and girls' team, they shared the same coach and it often felt as if they were one team, and they even cheered for each other in matches and tournaments.

"We just grabbed a rooming form for the trip," Jaysin informed then as he slid into a seat at the cafeteria table across from Ryle. "You guys want to room with Ian and me?"

"Yeah, sure," Shane answered.

Ryle agreed and all four of them wrote their names down on the paper, then Jaysin took it back to their class adviser, Mr. Renolds. Jade went off to find her planned roommates so they could make sure they signed up, as well.

"You know," Ian commented as they started on their homework, "it would be funny if we won sectionals, made it to states, and went to NYC the weekend after the trip to bowl."

"That would be exhausting," Ryle stated, "but awesome."

"Definitely awesome," Shane agreed. "I'd go to watch."

Ian looked thoughtful. "If the girls don't make it, they don't get to come watch, do they?"

"I'm sure your parents would bring Jade along," Ryle assured him. "You guys have been together, what, two years now?"

"Next month, yes," Ian answered.

Jaysin suddenly reappeared with an armload of snack foods from the vending machine. "I bring brain food."

"Zombie," Shane joked as he grabbed a package of fruit gummies.

Jaysin threw a granola bar at him.

"Hey!" Shane exclaimed with a laugh, picking it up from his lap. "Thanks, I do like strawberry."

Ryle took it away from him. "Me, too. You have strawberry gummies, I want this."

"You're lucky I love you," Shane grumbled, but he was smiling and gently kicked Ryle's foot under the table.

Jade still hadn't returned a moment later when Principal Zack approached their table. "I need to speak with you boys," she stated, startling them all. "In the hall please."

Confused, they followed her out of the cafeteria, where she stopped and crossed her arms across her thin chest. She looked meaningfully between Ryle and Shane. "I can't let the two of you room together for the trip."

Ryle's jaw dropped.

"Why not?" Shane questioned, and Ryle could hear the edge to his voice.

"We don't let couples room together," she stated. "It's that simple."

"The only rule is that guys and girls don't room together," Ian pointed out. "Neither of them is a girl."

"I'm aware of that, Mr. Miliani," she replied, eying him warningly. "This is a unique situation. If either Mr. Salvadore or Mr. Knight would like to stay with any of the girls, that can be arranged."
