Jordan isn't exactly the kind of person Elliot's used to having as a lab partner, but when they start acing their assignments, life is suddenly about more than boring lectures, bad cafeteria nachos, or relentless bullying. And then one night, the butterflies start to make sense - the trouble is, now nothing else does. As Elliot begins to figure out how he really feels about Jordan, he realizes that sometimes the last thing you are expecting is the one thing you need the most. [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]

A snarled ripped through Jason's chest as he pushed me harshly up against the metal lockers, a small whimper left my lips but I just laughed weakly, nevertheless. " Say it Patty. Say it's me you like, not that stupid prick." He spat angrily, fisting my gamer shirt, my favourite shirt actually. Even though I knew he was purposely trying to hurt me but I couldn't help but get lost in his forest green eyes. I could have said that I liked him and not the new kid, Joe. But what would be the fun in that? " Bite me." I spat back. Patty Mcdonald was a geek. Not a nerd. He played all the video games, went to the conventions and wore all of the novelty shirts. And on top of all that, he was gay. Not the best sexuality choice in a small town where everyone knows everyone and most of the town is religious. Jason Davis was a jock. Not a big air headed jock. He had it all; the girls, the looks, the brains and the friends. But what happens when Patty finds out his little secret?

"Your name is Kenneth Kentucky and you work at McDonalds?" I glared at him, "Would you like Fries with that?" He began laughing hysterically and I sighed impatiently, waiting for him to stop. Suddenly, he stopped and then, putting both his hands on the counter, staring right into my eyes, he whispered, "I'd like Fries with you." My eyes widened as it slowly registered that Golden Boy McHarden had just openly flirted with me.
