A/N: I'm being stupid, and starting another fic, but this one has been bothering me for a while. I hope you enjoy it, and please R&R. Thanks.
Thanks to OliviaElliotfan4ever for giving me the idea for this story.
Summary: AU. The CSI:NY team are in high school. Danny is a jock and Lindsay is a girl of science and mathematics, but what happens when Lindsay tutors Danny? Will the one night Stand they have together pull them closer, or will it just make life harder?
Disclaimer: Unless the producers will sell me them for a penny a button and some pocket lint, then I own nothing.

Danny Messer sat in the back of Math class with his head in his hand. His teacher, Mr Tate, was blabbering on about something, but all that Danny heard was 'blah, blah, blah'. He sighed and looked at the clock, counting down until the period ended. Boy did he hate this subject.
Being in Math wasn't a total bore for Danny though. He was happy to say that he sat next to his childhood best friend, Don Flack. That made it easier since they could both fail the subject together. The period soon came to and end. Danny packed his books away, and both he and Flack made their way to the door.
"So Messer," began Flack "You comin' with us to the movies tonight?"
"You can count on it man." Said Danny with a smirk.
They were just about to leave the room when Danny was called back by Mr Tate.
"Mr Messer?" he called. Danny turned to meet his gaze "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Danny turned back to Flack.
"Save me a seat will ya?"
"Sure."
Flack walked away, while Danny went to Mr Tate's desk. He wasn't alone however, with him was the smartest girl in the class, and his next door neighbour, Lindsay Monroe.
"What's up Sir?" asked Danny, taking a seat on a nearby desk "Have I done something wrong?"
"No, no Mr Messer." Began Mr Tate "The only thing you've done wrong is not study. We got your grades back from your exam, and they just seem to be dropping lower and lower."
"No offence Mr Tate," began Lindsay "But what have Danny's grade's got to do with me?"
"Well Miss Monroe, the reason that you are hear, is because you are going to tutor Mr Messer here."
"WHAT!!" Cried both Danny and Lindsay.
"No, no way." said Lindsay "No offence Danny, but a fridge might be able to do math's better than you, and Sir, I have my own studies to worry about!"
"Yeah Sir" cried Danny "And the big basket ball game is soon, and I need to practice! I'm team Captain!"
"Well, it's a shame that both your parent's have agreed to this. Tutoring start's tomorrow."
With that, Mr Tate picked up his briefcase and walked away, leaving the two stunned teen's to mope.
"I can't believe this!" cried Lindsay
"I know." Said Danny
"I hate Mr Tate." The said in unison.
Both Danny and Lindsay looked at each other and gave a light chuckle.
"Wow" began Danny "I don't think we've agreed on something since Elementary School."
"I know." Began Lindsay "Listen, sorry about the fridge comment, it's just…It's going to be hard tutoring you."
"Hey, I'll be first to admit that I'm crap at math's." he said
"Well, how are you in Pythagoras?"
"Huh?"
"Then how are you in trigonometry?" no answer
"Equations?" still no answer
"Adding and subtracting!?"
"Now that I can do" said Danny "And that's about it."
"Then I have my work cut out for me then." She said, with a hint of a chuckle.
"Yeah, and don't worry about your subject's, you always pass anyway."
Lindsay blushed a little and smiled
"Thanks…I'll see ya later?"
"Uh…yeah, yeah sure."
With that, Lindsay walked out of the class room and headed for lunch where she would meet her best friend, Stella Bonasera.
When the day had come to an end, the lovely clear sky's that had been seen all day were gone, and replaced with grey clouds and heavy rain. Danny was lucky that he could drive home. He was pulling out from the school grounds, but stopped when he saw Lindsay standing on the side walk holding a book over her head. She must have missed the bus, and the next one wasn't due for another 15 minutes. Danny drove up beside her, and wound down his window.
"Hop in Lind's, I'll give ya a ride."
With a grateful smile, Lindsay hopped into the car, and fastened her seatbelt. She was shivering, and Danny could see that she was cold. He reached over and put on the heater.
"Thanks." she said "Turns out it wasn't the best day to leave my jacket at home."
Danny gave a chuckle, and pulled out onto the road.
"I couldn't just leave you standing there." He said with a smile
"You have before." She said "What's with the sudden change?"
"I guess I'm growing up." He said.
Lindsay smiled, and they continued their half hour Journey home, talking about school, friends and the friendship they once had.
A/N: So what do you think so far? Please R&R. Thanks :o)
