Stoneybrook Ayr

At the last minute, Clarence and Maureen had decided to go away for the weekend. While they'd debated asking Grandpa Clarence over to stay with King and Stacey, Stacey had pleaded for them to be left on their own, and promised she would keep things under control. She'd automatically asked Austin to come over, thinking she had to make it up to him for yesterday. She wasn't sure if she was ready to go all the way yet, but she wanted to be. Unbeknownst to Stacey, King had plans of his own. She heard the doorbell ring, and expecting to find Austin on the stoop, she rushed down to open the door. She felt a little more prepared this time, wearing her cutest bra and matching underwear. She opened the door, and instead of Austin, about six of the guys on the football team stood there. Brushing past her, they made their way inside.

"KING!" She screamed out, furious. This was not what she had in mind.

Wayne needed some alone time. He knew people liked spending time with him, and he didn't blame them, but sometimes he needed to spend some time alone with him. He was waiting in line for a mocha at Starbucks, with plans to take it on a drive out of Stoneybrook, to some place no one knew his name. He watched the girl behind the counter screw up someone's order for the second time, and rolled his eyes.

"How hard is it to make a coffee?" he muttered, as the girl in front of him turned to face him.

Grady sat on the train with Laine, looking over at her. He wondered why she decided to go to NYC with him. Why she asked him? Grady knew this weekend would be expensive and he would probably spend every penny saved but, he glanced at Laine, he was glad she had asked him.

He wanted to say something, to start the conversation, but he felt nervous around her. He glanced at her again. Since when did he feel so shy?

Hi.

I hate this. I miss you. I want you back. Even as a friendship. I messed things up because I still want you. Can I have you back?

Grady wanted to see Laine. It still felt weird between them. At least Jacques had stop being so angry and he wasn't completely ignoring Grady anymore, but there was still tension.

"Hey," Grady said, walking up to Laine, "I'm done with school today and want to go home. Want to come?"
