I'm back baby and with vengeance! Haha

But yeah I've been gone for awhile. Too long in my opinion. And I'm hoping that this time I'll be around long enough to contribute multi-chapter stories to the fandom. (Here's hoping. *crosses fingers*)

Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy and please please please review! Doumo!

CHAPTER 1: The Gang's All Here...Kinda

He was staring at her. Again.

She didn't understand it. Did he have nothing better to do during class than stare at her intensely? Midterms were coming up for goodness sakes! His constant gaze was making her uncomfortable and she was finding it hard to concentrate on what the teacher was saying. Nervously she began tapping her pencil against her desk.

"Miss Lincoln is there a problem?" The teacher asked suddenly. The mocha skinned teen jumped at the mention of her name. With a sheepish look on her face she anxiously shook her head 'no'. Her teacher, Ms. Anthony, gave the girl one last look before going back to her lesson.

Once the teacher's back was to her Abby turned around to look at the one staring at her. Brown met blue and she felt a shiver slide down her spine. What was that look he was giving her? He was grinning the way Abby imagined a fox would could they move their mouths that way. There was something sly about it, something sinister…sexy. She brushed it off.

Or at least she tried to brush it off.

But as she turned back to the front and attempted to take notes she found she couldn't get the picture of the grinning fox out of her head.

After the class let out Abby went straight to her locker. The sooner she got her stuff and went home the better. That class had been rather unsettling and not because of the lecture Ms. Anthony had given about the reproductive process…

She just didn't understand why that boy couldn't stop staring at her. What did he see that was so damn entrancing? She didn't have much time to ponder the question though as she sensed a presence behind her. Dreading the worst, she slowly turned around shutting her locker in the process but when her line of sight landed on a dark pair of shades rather than sky blue eyes she breathed a sigh of relief. Her companion smiled, seemingly understanding her reaction.

"Hi Nigel." Abby said coolly, a gentle smile gracing her lips.

"Hello Abby, I trust your day went well?" The boy replied, his British accent made everything sound smooth and appealing to Abby. It was calming and very familiar, though she wasn't completely sure as to why that was.

"Yeah it was alright." Abby said. Her and Nigel turned and began walking towards the front doors of the high school. The two friends chatted as they headed outside and towards the parking lot.

"Hey I forgot to ask you, have you spoken to Wally lately?" Nigel asked as he dug through his pockets for his car keys. When Abby didn't answer he looked up to see her staring beyond him with a "deer in headlights" look on her face. The Brit followed her line of sight to see what she was staring at. He was greeted by the same pair of sky blue eyes that Abby had been dreading all day. Nigel nodded his acknowledgement at the boy who did the same in return, then he winked at Abby, the same sly grin appearing on his face before he hopped into his own car and drove off.

Nigel smiled to himself as he unlocked his car.

"When did he become such a lady killer? I'll never understand it." He muttered to himself. Abby had heard him though and she wore a puzzled expression as she asked him what he'd meant.

"Oh just that he doesn't seem to be the type to well…Hoagie you know…seems interesting…anyway, you didn't answer my question." Nigel kicked himself mentally as he got in his car. 'Real smooth Uno.' He thought.

Abby threw her backpack in the backseat before joining Nigel up front and buckling her seatbelt. It was clear that she didn't find his answer acceptable and he couldn't blame her. He hadn't even understood the ramblings he'd just spewed forth. Instead of asking about it though she decided to move on with the conversation.

"What question?" Abby asked, a small frown on her face.

"About Wally. Have you spoken to him recently?" Abby grimaced at the mention of the Aussie's name. Her best friend since diapers even if she didn't remember much before the 7th grade, her and Wally used to do everything together. That is, until their recent disagreement.

"I haven't." She replied quietly. "I don't understand why he's so upset to be honest. I didn't tell him anything that wasn't the truth..."

"If I remember correctly, you told me you called the girl he's in love with a 'useless whore', the same girl who'd also been a good friend to you." Nigel said quickly. Abby moaned.

"Okay so 'useless whore' was harsh but not completely untrue…Kuki's changed. She's not the girl we knew in middle school…ugh you wouldn't understand. You didn't know her before…" Now it was Nigel's turn to grimace. He hated keeping secrets from her, but he had no choice. None of them could know what he'd been privileged to remember. He shook his head.

"Why'd you guys fall out anyway?"

"After her parents divorced Kuki just kinda drew into herself. She wasn't open and bubbly anymore. She started looking for comfort in all the wrong places and she wouldn't talk to any of us about it. Then she met Ace and things just got way out of control…that was freshman year…"

Abby trailed off fully aware that she hadn't really answered Nigel's question. He didn't push it though. In actuality he knew what had happened, he'd only asked to keep up the façade of British transfer student. Besides, they had arrived at Abby's house.

"Thanks for the ride Uno. Abby'll see ya tomorrow."

"Bye Abby."

He waited for her to get her stuff from the backseat and walk up the steps to her front door before he put the car in reverse. When he saw her make it safely inside he finished backing out of the driveway and drove a street away to his own home.

"Wally? It's…almost midnight. Why are you calling?"

"Uh…hey Kooks…what's up?"

"Well I was sleeping…"

"Oh that sounds cool and all…I was just sittin' here doin' mah homework and..stuff..."

"You don't do homework Wally, what's going on? Why did you call?"

"I miss you Kooks."

"Wally…"

"No just hear me out okay. I miss ya. Abby misses ya. Things just aren't the same without you around…"

"Look Wally thanks for the sentiment but I have to go. It's late."

"Wait! Just…I wanted to ask if you'd want ta eat lunch with me tomorrow?"

"Ugh…goodnight Wally."

"Wai-!"

Click.

Wallabee Beatles sat in his room staring at his phone. He wondered when things had gotten so complicated as he slowly crawled under the covers of his bed. As he fell asleep he thought of Kuki and Abby and how he was going to fix this mess.
