Thanks for all the great feedback on my last chapter. This one's for David, for being the best editor any girl could ask for.

We didn't have our next class together, which was Drama for me, but we did have Art together last.
I had been let out of Drama early, so once I got to Art I was able to have the pick of the bench I wanted, which was the second row window side. It had excellent views of the football oval, and footy training just happened to be going on right now too. It always provided me with a lot of creativity; all those hot, sweaty boys. I mentally groaned at the thought.
As I waited for the teacher and the rest of the class to file in, I watched the boys as they ran up and down on the spot, warming up. As their muscles grew taut then loosened, I started to feel my own muscles going taut and loose. After a couple of minutes sweat started to gradually build up on their face and tight muscles, making me hot as sin. I even spotted Jay out there and though I wasn't really happy at him, I could still appreciate everything he had to offer a girl.
"Yummy." A hand was placed lightly on my spread thighs.
I immediately swung my head around locking my eyes with Anna's baby blues. She lightly squeezed my thigh and smiled sweetly at me. "I'm sorry for being such a bitch," she leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"So, what's up with you and Jay then?" I asked nonchalantly, trying to avoid showing my jealousy.
"Viv, I was angry and I shouldn't have sat with him, I know how you hate biology." She sighed. "Jay and I just talked, that's all. I was mainly trying to get him to stop annoying you because when he annoys you I have to deal with the repercussions."
I was hot as hell and her hand squeezing my thighs was not helping the shots of electricity shooting through my groin.
I moved my hand onto Anna's and released it off my thigh. "It's ok Anna, just remember next time he sits in my seat, I'm throwing him off of it."
She held my hand tightly in hers under the bench and smiled broadly at me. "Oh I wouldn't mind seeing that. Whatever would Mr Grey say?" Anna and I broke into giggles just as the teacher walked in.
We both stopped giggling as soon as Mrs Row looked directly at us.
Anna leaned over to me. "How about I make it up to you tonight. What do you say to some brownies and ice-cream," she whispered into my ear.
She knew exactly how to tempt me, but what about what Samantha had said? I released Anna's hand and placed my hands on the table. "Ok," I said nodding to her, but keeping my eyes up front.

When Drama, my last class of the day, was finished, I headed out to the pickup area to wait for Rob. I was going home first to change out of my school uniform and put some underwear ON, then I would head over to Anna's.
I didn't have to wait long. Rob pulled up in our rusty old red truck with a loud squeal.
"Hey," I said as I jumped into the passenger side of the truck.
"Hey," he said back, while looking around me. "Where's Brad?"
"He should be here soo...," I managed to say before Brad pulled open the truck door and pushed his lanky body in next to mine.
"Hey, an 'excuse me' would've been nice," I complained as I moved closer to Rob's muscular body.
Where Brad's body was all tall and lanky, Rob's was perfectly toned and muscular from all the time spent on the farm. As I understood it, most girls in town thought Rob was the sexiest man in a one hundred kilometre radius, though I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. I always thought him more ruggedly handsome than anything; with his six foot frame, piercing blue eyes, strong square face and short dark brown hair, which would curl up if it got too long. Rob also always managed to keep a perfect shadow of stubble that just added to his farmer look. I guess I could see what the other girls saw in him, but he was my big brother.
It was an uneventful ride home as Rob tried to pry some semblance of conversation out of us, but without any luck. Brad was usually un-talkative about school or anything in general these days and it was usually up to Rob and me to make conversation. But, today I was preoccupied with my own thoughts. All my thoughts would return to was my new, sudden feelings for Anna. I didn't know what to think about it. I mean, I love her and all, but I think the question is, was I in love with her? I really didn't want to answer that question though. I couldn't be in love with Anna, so I tried convincing myself it was just nothing. I'd wait again 'til I saw Anna to see if I was still crazy, maybe it was all just in my head.
"Vivian," I heard Rob say.
I turned to his voice and noticed that we were home and Brad was nowhere in sight. "Oh...sorry Rob," I said to him as I looked at his concerned face. "I must have been daydreaming." I made my way to scoot out of the truck, but Rob grabbed my arm.
"Are you ok Viv? You didn't hardly utter a word on our way home." His voice was so caring and sweet, he had to be the best big brother in the whole world.
"I'm fine, just thinking," I said in a nonchalant tone, trying to make him think nothing of it. If he knew something was up, he would try to find some way to get me to talk.
Before he could say anything further I jumped in, "Can I borrow the truck this arvo to go to Anna's?"
His features loosened. "Sure that's ok." As soon as he agreed I hop-footed it out of the truck and made a bee-line straight for the house shouting back a quick thanks.
When I walked through the front door I headed straight up to my room. Once there, I found a pair of white cotton undies and bra. I stripped and put them on. Then I rummaged around and found some jean short shorts and blue tank top.
Once dressed, I went back downstairs and found mum in the study to tell her I was going to Anna's for tea.
"Mum," I said as I knocked on the door distracting her from her frantic typing on the computer.
"Oh...honey," she said seeing me. "Sorry I didn't see you. What is it?"
"I'm going over to Anna's for tea," I said as I stepped into the study.
Mum abandoned the computer and gave me a grave look. "Are you sure that's ok with Anna's mum? You've practically lived over their all summer. Maybe you should have dinner with your family tonight."
I sat in the chair opposite the desk mum was working at with a sigh. We went through this same conversation every time I went to Anna's. I wasn't spending enough time with the family. Mum and dad didn't see me enough. I practically lived at Anna's...blah, blah, blah. "Anna's mum doesn't mind and it's Anna who usually does the cooking. Plus, Anna and I have had tea here at least every other night over the holidays," I said, a little aggravated with having to have this conversation for the hundredth time.
Mum sighed and placed her chin in her hand. "Ok, but I expect to see you at that dinner table every other night this week," she said, using her other hand to point towards the dining room.
"Ok, thanks mum." I leapt out of the chair and scampered out of the study before she could change her mind.

Anna's house was over the other side of town, so it took me a good twenty minutes to drive there. But, by the time I stepped through the back door of her whitewash cottage I was greeted with the best of smells.
I sniffed the air like a dog a few times to affirm what I smelt. Freshly baked brownies, like she promised, but there was something else.
I shut the front door carefully and made my way through the small, two bedroom cottage to the kitchen.
When I entered the small old kitchen I saw Anna with her back to me standing over the stove. She hadn't noticed me yet. I wanted to scare her and scare her good for the little stunt she had pulled with Jake earlier.
Like me she had changed out of her school uniform and was now wearing some very tight white short shorts and a light green top, that looked a size too small, well it was a size too small. I knew because I had been with her when she bought it. As I stared at her amazing body I couldn't help the tingles I felt. I had no idea what was wrong with me, but Anna had never turned me on this much before.
While in the car I had thought about the whole situation a lot and could only put it down to the fact that Anna had touched my nipple. It's not like we haven't touched before, it's just that we had never really touched each other in any intimate places before. And the way she smiled that sweet smile at me only made the whole situation more erotic, like she knew she was making me horny, though she really had no idea.
Slowly I walked up behind her, careful to make no sound. She was so engrossed in her cooking she didn't even realise I was behind her, until I tickled her silly, leaving both Anna and I in fits of laughter.
"You...got...me...good," Anna said through breaths, as she leaned against the kitchen bench.
"Good, I had to get you back somehow." I gave her a wicked smile then jumped up onto the counter next to Anna. "So, what's for tea?"
Anna returned my smile. "Well, first," she said as she returned to stirring her concoction, "we have pumpkin and white wine risotto, then for desert we have brownies and ice-cream, just as I promised." I smiled down at her. Anna was a great cook and was always up for trying new recipes, with me usually ending up as the guinea pig. Ever since her mum took a night shift at the local pub, on top of her day job working as a secretary, Anna had turned into the ultimate Martha Stewart. She did it because she felt guilty about her mother having to take a second job when she had offered to get a job of her own, but her mother – Grace – had wanted her to focus solely on her studies. But, with Grace working all the time that meant Anna had to keep the house together, which was a job in its own.
It had never been that way for Anna; before her father left they had been very well off. Anna's father and mother used to own the local car dealership, but two years ago, without notice, her father declared bankruptcy, leaving Anna and Grace with nothing. It was the scandal of the town for almost a year, but eventually everyone got over it and life went on. Though, Grace still wanted the best for her daughter and that meant school, university and a great career, which meant no other distractions, like an after school job.
