Abby, EJ and Jimmy were sitting together at lunch when Abby caught sight of Tim sitting with his 'friends'. "It's been 3 days, and he like totally bailed on me Monday night," Abby said glaring silently at the israeli brunette who Tim's arm was wrapped around. What happened in 4 days that Abby didn't know about?

"Abby, it's probably nothing. Probably testing his ground, I mean when I made it to the top of the food chain, I didn't talk to any of you for what was I think a month," EJ told her trying to assure her that Tim was just doing this to make sure his place at the top of the food chain was permanent before he went back to talking to the 'nerds'.

...

"So, will you join?" Tony asked with a hopeful smile on his face. He's spent most of lunch convincing Tim to join football. Tim is so close to agreeing but ends up saying I don't know all the time. "UGH, fine Tony," Tim said after 30 minutes of convincing. Tony jumped up yelling yes! Making most of the people laugh at his reaction.

Ziva smiled at Tim. "Just kiss him already!" Jeanne encouraged when she seen Ziva turn towards Tim and with that Ziva gave the guy a light kiss on the cheek. Ziva just smiled over at Jeanne and went back to her salad. "So, you two are so going to be the next queen and king!" Jeanne coo'd looking at her friend who was now slowly getting over Tony, but what was there to really get over? Tony was never really Ziva's.

...

"Make sure his spot is permanent? Permanent?" Abby asked a little loudly making the people from the popular table turn to look at her. Abby seen Tim shake his head at her, crushing the last bit of hope that she had that Tim was still her friend. "He looked at me like I'm, i'm a freak!" Abby said tears coming to her eyes.

EJ looked at her and sighed, she didn't know what to tell her. Tim had made his choice in her mind, there was one way to show her that it wasn't true. It was to break the status quo and she didn't know how to do that. Then it came to her, EJ stood up and started to walk over towards the group that she spends time with after school sometimes and 3 hours at cheer practice and sometimes more at games.

"Ziva, can we talk?" EJ asked annoyed. Ziva looked at EJ with a smile and got up. "I'll be right back," Ziva told them and followed EJ to a uncrowded spot in the cafateria. "Yes?" Ziva asked and threw her hair over her shoulder. Jeanne had talked her into keeping her hair down today instead of up in a ponytail. It took a full half an hour but she gave in.

"Help me break the status quo. In the end Tim can go back to hanging out with Abby and Abby can hang out with us," EJ said looking into Ziva's eyes with pleading eyes. "Why should I do that EJ? So Abby can have a chance with Tim? I don't think so," Ziva said and started to walk over to the table where her friends sat.

"No, so you can have a chance with Tony. Tony will see what you're doing and try to stop you making Jeanne break up with him because she doesn't want to be caught dead with a guy who is trying to save another girl who isn't his girlfriend," EJ explained. Ziva just looked at her like she was crazy.

"No thank you," Ziva whispered then walked back to the table leaving EJ confused. Why would Ziva turn that down? EJ made her way back to Abby. "What was that about?" Abby asked looked at her curiously.

"Nothing Abby, nothing," EJ told her and sighed. Leaning her face against her hand. "For all cheerleaders please be at the Gym at 4:30 P.M I repeat all cheerleaders at the gym at 4:30 P.M!" Jeanne yelled from standing on the table she was sat at. EJ looked over at the brunette and groaned. She loves cheerleading but this? This was something she was not expecting. Jeanne doing Ziva's work.

...

"So when's the big game?" Tim asked Tony while the girl was standing on the table yelling out what Ziva had asked. "Ah 2 weeks, and then the red knights are going down!" Tony said yelling the red knights are going down. There were a chorus of 'yeahs!' from the guys that were sat around other tables with there girlfriends.

"And these two girls here are going to be distracting that whole team," Tony said putting his arm around Ziva's shoulder pulling her closer to him and putting one around Jeanne who had now gotten off the table.

Ziva pulled back and stood up. "I am not up to being late today," Ziva told them and grabbed her bag and started to walk towards the exit of the cafateria sending EJ a text telling her and Abby to meet her in the lab.

...

"Hey Abby, we'll be late if we don't leave now," EJ told her, knowing that Abby had Chemistry with Ziva and her next period. "Oh ah yeah! I love chemistry!" Abby said excitedly. She jumped up and started to make her way towards the exit with EJ ahead of her. When they arrived at the chemistry lab, Abby seen Ziva sitting in the darkest corner.

"Ziva?" Abby asked looking at her, squinting her eyes at the Israeli. "Yes, it is me. I am in," Ziva told them. "In? What?" Abby asked confused. "Let's break the status quo," Ziva told them, Abby knew what she meant and smiled. "You get Tim back, I get Tony, and all is well in the city of Washington DC," Ziva said, and smiled.

"Yes!" Abby shouted a little. Thanks to the bell, no one heard it. Within minutes, other people started piling in. "Hey, Ziva!" Tony yelled, who was her lab partner. Ziva looked at the two girls and smiled half heartedly. This was going to be a hard, next few weeks.
