Karen walked down the hallways, feeling someones eyes on her. She looked around, and couldn't find anyone looking at her. "Weird.." she whispered softly as she left the school. "That idiot didn't come meet me again!" she sighed rubbing her head. "Maybe he went home?"

"Ouch!" Ricky muttered, rubbing his head. "Sorry, sorry..." He hastily grabbed his papers and books and stacked them messily on top of each other, shoving them haphazardly into his bag. "Sorry..." he muttered again, standing up and offering Karen a hand.

Karen looked up at Ricky and took his hand. "...Where were you?" she asked pulling her hand away from his. "You're all...dazed out."

"Uh..." Ricky looked at his hand and then at hers as she pulled it away. "I don't..." He picked up his bag and shook his head. "It's nothing. I was just thinking...that's all. Come on, school's over...let's get outta here."

Karen looked over at him nodding. "Alright." she said walking ahead of him. "Let's get going...I need to help you with your math homework tonight."

"Ugh... Yeah. Homework." Ricky walked beside her and glanced sideways. His eyes wandered to her chest and stayed there, widening slightly. Wow... I never really noticed it but... He put a hand over his mouth to hide his grin. ...Karen's boobs are huge! AWESOME! 

Karen looked over at him, half way towards his house. "Ricky?" she asked blinking slightly. "What's wrong?" she asked stoping for a second. "You're staring at me.?" she sighed and began walking ahead of him. "Whatever.."

 "...Boobies..." Ricky murmured, mesmerized, frowning as she walked ahead of him. "Come on, let's hurry and get home before it gets dark." He grabbed her hand and picked up the pace, walking ahead of her. Something inside him had woken up and was primitively piecing words together. AAH--male hormones! Karen...boobies...my house...my room...math homework... boobies!

Karen looked at him confused as they entered his house quickly, more quickly his room. "Ricky, what's wrong?"

"Wha? Oh! I'm just, uh...excited! Yeah!" Ricky closed his door, hands fidgety as he locked it. "I love math homework! Love it!" His eyes were focused on her chest again as he took a step towards her, staring, staring, staring, until... He reached out a timid finger and gently poked her chest. Wow... 

Karen blushed and took back a step. "Ricky, what do you think you're doing?" she asked covering her chest.

"Poking the boobie," Ricky said matter-of-factly, tilting his head slightly to the side. "Uh..." His eyes went from his finger to her face to her chest. "I, uh..." His face turned bright red and he averted his eyes. "I-I lost control of myself! It's just..." He clenched his fists tightly. "We've been friends for so long, and Karen, I--" He squeezed his eyes shut and shouted all at once, "ITHINKILIKEYOU!"

Way to go, Ricky. That was SMOOTH.

Karen stared at him confused. "What...did you say?" she asked blushing still. "...I think I'm going to go home okay?"

"N-No!" Ricky grabbed her hand. "Please stay! I want you!!!" He smacked his face with the palm of his hand. "I mean I want you to help me with my homework!" he said quickly, blushing a light shade of pink. "Please, Karen, don't go..." He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned in close, eyes pleading as he whispered, "Please?"

Karen leaned away, blushing. Her eyes avered. "Ricky...This is to quick." she said softly trying to open the door. "Locked.."

"I've... I've been keeping it all bottled up ever since I figured it out!" Ricky said desperately. "I-I didn't mean to say it... I... It just came out..." He grabbed her hand, whispering, "Please don't leave..." He glanced into her eyes for a moment, a look of anguish in his eyes. "Is there...someone you like? Is... Is that it?"

Karen looked up at him. "I'm not sure..." she said tilting her head down. "...Let me go, this is too weird."

"I-It's weird?" Ricky asked in a soft voice. "I-I... Karen, I didn't mean to, uh... I didn't mean to touch you..." He pulled his hand away from hers. "I won't... I..." He closed his eyes. "Please...stay and help me with my math homework," he said in a hollow voice. "That's...all I want...from you..."

Liar, liar...

Karen looked at him. "You're voice is hollow...you're lying.." she said leaning down to him. "I'm sorry...it just freaked me out...I'll get the math book.."

As soon as she turned away to grab the math book, Ricky's hands were around her waist, holding her firmly. "Karen..." he whsipered softly against her neck, letting his instincts guide him. "You never said whether or not you like me..." he whispered into her ear, tightening his grip around her waist.

What the...what the hell am I doing?!

Karen droped the math book, blushing. "I-I..." she let out a gasp as he tightened his grip around her. "Ricky...I'm...not s-sure if I do, r-remember?" closing her eyes she breathed softly. 'What...What's he doing to me?!'

"Can I help you decide?" Ricky breathed softly against her neck. "...if you like me..." He slid his hands up from her waist to her stomach, and then to her chest, pressing himself against her hard. "Hmm... Let's..." He spun her around so she was facing him. He gently cupped her cheek in his hand, holding her around the waist firmly with his other hand. Ricky leaned forward hesitantly before pressing his lips to hers.

Ricky... What are you doing to your best friend? You're ruining your friendship, acting recklessly... Stupid... Stupid...

Karen's breathing picked up as he pressed himself against her. "Ricky...you-You're..!" she was silenced by him kissing her. Muffling words, before pulling away quickly. She pushed him back, rubbing her lips blushing a dark red. "You're coming out to hard." she said steping back. "I'm going home."

"You're staying here...." Ricky murmured softly, kissing her roughly, grabbing her hands to pull her closer. "...with me..." he whispered as he pulled away, staring at her. "You're not..." he pushed her down onto his bed, staring at her for a moment. "...going anywhere..."

Karen's eyes shimmered slightly with fear, and passion. "Ricky...you...you're letting your stupid hormoans get out of control." she blushed. "Don't make me...out of control..." closing her eyes she turned onto her side, curling up slightly. "What are you planing on doing...to me?"

"Dunno..." Ricky murmured softly. "I'm improvising..." He pressed his mouth to hers, then trailed his lips down to her neck. "By the way..." He softly kissed her neck, pinning her arms down. "...you're blushing..."

Karen closed her right eye and tried moving. "Ricky...you're...making me blush." she said closing her eyes, tightly. "Please...don't..." she felt him pin her arms down. "...Ricky..."

"Awww, you don't like it?" Ricky whispered, gently biting her neck. His grip on her arms tightened as tension filled his body. He ran his tongue over the spot he had bitten, moving his right arm to her chest, keeping her pinned with his left. "Well, I like it...a lot..." He gently pulled on her shirt, asking softly, "Can you...take this off?"

Karen let out a tiny gasp. Looking up at him, she shook her head no. "Ricky...I don't want t-to have sex." she said closing her eyes. "...You're making me feel...tense...I don't want to get out of control."

"Shush." Ricky kept her pinned, hesitating for a moment. "I can't take it anymore..." he muttered, running a hand gently through her hair. "I've wanted you so badly...for so long... And I can't take it anymore..." He caught her lips in a desperate kiss, still holding her down.

Karen gasped moving around, trying to push him away. "Ri-cky...no." she muffled in the kiss feeling her ears turn red. "No...I don't want to...I don't!" she tried to move her arms. "Stop it."

Ruining everything... Ruining your friendship, ruining whatever chance you might've had with her, ruining your reputation, ruining everything, Ricky, you idiot... He paused, pulling out of the kiss and staring at her sadly. "It's not fair... I want this... Why can't you just cooperate... Why can't you feel the way I do?" His eyes narrowed in anger. "Why can't you love me? Why can't you..." He ran his hand down her chest and her stomach and put it between her legs. "...just...do what I want you to do..."

"I'm not a puppet..." Karen said looking up at him. "...I'm shocked that you're acting like this...I don't...." she closed her eyes, what a perfect day to wear a skirt. "...I don't want to have sex..." she looked at his hand between her legs. "I'm sorry, Ricky.."

"What is it that you want?" Ricky asked softly, staring at her. "What...am I supposed to do to make you like me the way I like you, to make you want me the way I want you... What am I supposed to do for you?"

Karen looked up at him, trembling. "I...don't know Ricky." she averted her eyes covering herself, so he couldn't get any ideas. "Maybe I should go...home."

"I don't want to let you go..." Ricky whispered, looking at her sadly. "Don't leave...please..." He loosened his grip but still kept her pinned lightly. "Please, Karen.."

Karen looked up at him sadly. "R-Ricky...I'm sorry..." she said gently pushing him up. "...I'm sorry..."

"Wait! You..." Rcky stared sadly into her eyes for a moment but was distracted by her chest and started staring at it instead. "...haven't helped me with me homework... You... Karen, you can't leave... Please..." His face twisted in frustration and sadness. "How do I make you love me!?"

Karen stoped and looked up at him, then looked away. "...I don't know, how to just fall in love..." she said covering her chest again. "Stop staring at them...a-and get off me..."

Ricky got off her, backing away and standing in front of the door, blocking it. He leaned back against the door and sighed, staring at her sadly. "I don't know what to do. I've never felt like this about anyone besides you. You drive me crazy, you know... It's always you, that's all I can ever think about..." He ran his eyes up and down her body once. "Always you."

Karen looked up at him then at the ground. "...Ricky." she said sadly. "I don't...want your to feel weird around me, but I..." she sat on the bed, and looked down at her hands. "Give it time...to sink in..."

Ricky sighed, staring at the ground. "I'm sorry I...lost control of myself... I don't know what happened to me." He glanced at Karen. "Do you hate me for what I did?"

"I can't ever hate you!" Karen said looking up at him. "Never...ever hate you." she stood up. "So...I'll see you tomorrow?"

Ricky let out a soft sigh of relief, staring at the ground. "Yeah... I'll see you later." He waved feebly. "Bye."

Karen looked up at him, then away. Slowly walking towards the door. "See you..." she slowly turned the door knob.

"Yeah." As she turned the doorknob Ricky reached out slowly, resting a hand gently on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Karen glanced over her shoulder at him, and blushed. Quickly looking away. "...It's alright.." she said softly, timidly letting go of the door knob. Keeping her head down.

Jeez... This wouldn't be so hard if she wasn't so cute.. "Well..." Ricky removed his hand from her shoulder and put his arms around her, hugging her gently. "We can...still be friends...at least, right?" he asked, resting his head down on her shoulder.

Karen nodded her head and stood in place as he placed his arms around her. "...Yes we can..." she stared down at his hands around her. She gently touched them, squeezing them lightly. "I'm sorry...I'm...so...sorry..." she said closing her eyes. "It's tearing me up...I hate it..."

Ricky closed his eyes as she squeezed his hands. "I'm sorry..." he said again, whispering softly in her ear. "I never should've...done anything or..said anything..." He hugged her a little tighter, whispering, "I'm sorry..."

Karen looked up at him, then away. Slowly pulling out of the hug. "..." Averting her eyes, she stood in place trembling. "...I..."

"Shh..." Ricky pushed her gently back against he wall, leaning in and kissing her softly, keeping a loose grip on her arms.

Karen closed her eyes, and kissed him back. Pulling away for a second, then kissing him again. She trembled against the wall.

Ricky let out a soft moan as she kissed him, happiness flooding his body. "K-Karen..." he whispered her name softly, staring down at her. Staring into her eyes for a moment, he lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek. "I think..." he whispered, leaning back in closer so their lips were almost touching. "...I love you..."

Karen leaned back against the wall. "...Ricky..." she whispered as he kissed her again. "...I don't know..." she said softly, kissing him back. "I don't know...if I love you..." she pulled away, averting her eyes. Looking away.

"It's okay..." Ricky said softly, staring at her with loving eyes. "It's okay...if you don't know... You're here with me and that's all I need... I just want to be with you." He kissed her gently once more before asking softly, "Do you still...want to leave? It's getting late and it's dark out and...I don't want you to have trouble getting home... You could always spend the night...if you wanted... A sleepover, like when we were little kids..." Oh Ricky, what the hell are you babbling about...

Karen looked up at him. "Sure. I'll spend the night." she pulled away from him. "My mom won't mind." she said looking up at him. Sitting down on the edge of the bed. Looking up at him. "...Are you...okay?"

Ricky didn't reply. He stared at her for a moment before raising his hand and firing ecto-tape at her, covering her mouth. "Sorry but...it'll be easier this time if I don't have to listen to you telling me to stop..." He pushed her down onto her back, letting his hands wander to her chest. He muttered her name absentmindedly, squeezing his hands. 

Karen muffled over and over again 'what are you doing?!' and 'stop!' but, it was blocked by the tape over her mouth. She moaned, as soon as he squeezed her chest. Shaking her head, she stared at him with wide eyes. "Stop..."

"You're moaning, Karen, don't you like it?" Ricky asked softly, squeezing his hands again. "Moan for me again... I love hearing you moan for me.."

Karen moaned again then tilted her head to the right. Trying to cetch her breath, she had tear drops in her eyes as she kept them closed. "Stop it...Ricky."

"Ah...there's that moan again..." Ricky said softly, pinning her with one hand and using his other hand to remove her skirt. "You look awfully cute Karen... And that tape is so kinky, it really turns me on..." He pulled on her underwear, taking them off as well. "Ah god, Karen..." he whispered, phasing off his pants and boxers. "...I want you...so badly.."

Karen shook her head franticely, staring up at him with wide eyes. "Nononono!" she said under the tape. "...No don't take it away from me...don't please." she got one hand free and pushed him up, then took the tape off quickly. "Don't!" she shouted out desprately, her voice broke. And she pushed him off the bed. "No...No...No!" she shouted covering herself, backing away from him. "You can't take that away...!" she squeezed the blanket tightly. "You can't...You're not aloud to have sex with me!!!" she trembled and looked away from him. "I don't want it..."

"Why not?" Ricky asked, grabbing the blanket and pulling it away. "Why can't I?" He pinned her to the bed, glaring at her. "What can you do to stop me anyway?"

Karen looked up at him in fear. "Ricky..." she trembled. "I don't...it...it's the most special thing I have...don't...take it away.."

"Special?" Ricky raised a brow. "You've got more special things than that, a thousand more, you have no idea how special you are and...and... Damn it, this is my first time too but..." He leaned down closer to her. "...but... augh, why can't you just give me what I want..."

"Because I don't want to, give it to you.." Karen said looking up at him. "So please...Please stop it..."

"Haha, this is exactly why I taped your mouth shut in the first place...but oh well..." Ricky leaned down, pausing for a moment as he pressed himself to her. "Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know how special it was to you but... I'm going to have to take it..."

Karen moaned aloud, gasping in pain. "Ricky...Ricky...no...why did you...why did you take it..?" she squeezed his arms tightly. "W-Why...!!" she couldn't move, the pain going threw her, was too much. "..." she cried silently, her eyes focused away from him.

"Because..." Ricky pulled away. "I..." He pushed himself against her harder, hissing, "WANTED to. Don't worry, it'll stop hurting soon... It'll feel really good..."

Karen gasped in pain, and just laid there. "...I...hate you.." she whispered sadly. 

Ricky felt a jerk of sadness in his chest but pushed it aside, wincing at her words. "I... But I..." He pulled away for a moment. "...love you.."

"...No you don't..." Karen whispered trembling. "If you did...you wouldn't of...taken that away from me..."

"But I wanted it...so badly..." Ricky stared down at her sadly. "I just... Augh, I don't know... I couldn't help myself..."

Karen looked up at him. "You could of!!" she shouted, wincing in pain. "Yes you...could..." she tilted her head away. "Get off of me...I'm going home.."

Ricky moved away from her. "I... I didn't... Didn't mean to... Augh, I swear I couldn't help myself, I... I screwed...everything up again..."

Karen grabbed her underwear and skirt. Keeping her head down, she quickly placed them on. Before quickly getting to her feet. Opening the door, ignoring the pain, she got out of the house quickly.

"Damn it." Ricky sat down on his bed, dragging the blanket over himself, staring at the floor. "What did I do... What the hell did I do..."

Karen the following morning, at school sat down quietly. Not looking at Ricky, who was looking right at her. She had a tired look in her eyes. 'ignore him..'

Ricky stared at her all through first period, remaining seated even when the bell rang at the end of the period. His eyes were always on her and he never once moved or said anything. He hada no idea what to say, or how to act in front of her now.

Karen was the second to last to leave. She, kept her back to Ricky, placing her stuff into her bag. Trembling, she held her stomach for a second. Then glanced back at Ricky, then away. Quickly running out of the class room.

Ricky shook his head, finally standing up. You can run all you want, but we have second period together too. He entered the biology classroom, taking a seat right next to her but never once saying anything. He tried to keep his eyes off of her.

Karen sat completely still, until she winced again. Looking up at the teacher, ignoreing the pain. She raised her hand. "...Can I go to the restroom." she stood up before he said yes, and got out of the classroom quickly. Walking slowly she climbed stairs. Trembling in pain, she opened the roof doors and let the cold air hit her.

Ricky closed his eyes and listened carefully to her footsteps. After a minute of two, he clutched his stomach, gasping. "Augh... Can I go to to the nurse's office...please..." he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut in a pained looking face. When the teacher said yes, he got up and hobbled to the door, straightening up as soon as he closed it. So easy... The teacher must be a complete moron to not see through my crappy acting.. He phased through the ceiling, invisible, and sat down, staring at Karen, still invisible. Why did I even follow her anyway... I've got nothing to say...

Karen stared down at the ground, as she sat against the wall. Hugging her stomach, "I have to be...insane...I'm not pregnant...the test was wrong...wrong...it has to be.." she stood up and then looked around. "Whos...there?"

"HOLY SHIT!" Ricky screamed at the sound of the word 'pregnant.' He completely lost his focus and became visible again, hurriedly jumping to his feet and taking two steps away from her. "No way, no way..."

Karen stared wide eyed at him, blushing. Holding the railing behind her tightly. She looked away, and then ran past him. Quickly. She opened the door and ran down the stairs.

Ugh... Ricky ran after her. "Karen, wait, wait, wait!" he ran down the stairs after her, grabbing her arm. "Wait.. I..."

Karen yanked her arm away from him, and steped down a few steps to get her balance back. She looked up at him, with wide brown eyes. Then away closing her eyes.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I don't know what to say..." Ricky tilted his head down. "I'm...so...sorry." He grabbed her hands, squeezing them gently, staring at her with pleading eyes. "I'm so sorry..." He dropped his gaze, unable to look her in the eye. "So...sorry."

Karen looked up at him, then away. "..." she steped down one stair. Trembling. She hugged her stomach. "This is...what I was talking about..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Ricky whispered, putting a gentle hand on her stomach. "I didn't... know this was going to happen...I didn't expect this to happen... What are you..going to do?"

Karen steped back onto the half way pointing. "...I can't do anything about it..." she said looking away from him.

Ricky sighed, shaking his head. "I didn't mean for this to happen... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." He leaned his head against the wall, closing his eyes. "Stupid...stupid...stupid..." A red knife formed in his hand. He closed his fist around the sharp edge of the blade, squeezing tighter every time he said "stupid" until the inside of his hand began to bleed and blood started to drip from his fist onto the floor. "Stupid...stupid..."

Karen stared up at him. "Stop it...stop...hurting yourself..." Karen said grabbing at his hand. "...Please.."

"I'm an idiot..." Ricky dropped the knife and buried his face in his hands. "Idiot..." When he pulled his hands away his face was covered in blood from the cuts on his hand. "I destroyed you...look what I did to you... The person I love..." He sunk to his knees. "Ugh..I wish I was dead..."

Karen looked at him. "...Ricky..." she lifted up a hand then slapped him across the face. "..Shut up...no you don't! You don't wish to be dead..." she took out a cloth and began to wipe off the blood on his face. "...I'm sorry..."

"I screwed up...so badly..." Ricky whispered, trembling slightly. "Look what I did to you... You're never going to forgive me, and I'm never going to be able to live with myself...never..."

Karen pulled her hand away. Tilting her head down. "...Ricky..." she looked away. "...Can you take care of it?"

"I don't... I don't know, I can try..." Ricky said softly, not looking at her. Blood dripped slowly from his open hand onto the ground. "Ugh, who am I to be getting upset... you're the one who..." He squeezed his injured hand shut, hissing in pain. "I'm...sorry..."

Karen grabbed his hand, and began wrapping it up. Rubbing her eyes that had started to water, she whimpered covering her eyes. "...Ricky...I.." she fell to her knees and leaned against the wall. "Ricky I...I'm scared...." 

Ricky knelt down beside her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "You'll be okay... I promise...you'll be okay Karen, I swear to god I won't let anything happen to you..." Resting his head against her shoulder, he gently rubbed her back. "You'll get through this... And I won't ever let you get hurt...ever again.. I'll protect you no matter what.. I'm so sorry..."

Karen hugged him back, crying on his shoulder. "R-Ricky..." she whispered softly. "..." she slowly pulled away. "We need to get back to class.."

 Ricky gently wiped away her tears, staring at her sadly. "Maybe you should just go home... You've been through a lot today and...yesterday... I just think it would be best for you to take the rest of the day off.." He stood up, offering her a hand. "Let me take you home?"

Karen looked up at him, and took his hand. "...Thank you..."
