Author's note: After this latest chapter gets approved, I'm going to be on hiatus for a while. Because just recently, I have just been blessed with a new family member. So I'll be spending some time with my family. I hope everyone understands and is patient. Don't worry, I plan on writing more stories for this series and maybe even doing some side stories tailored to this series as well.
As always, thanks for always supporting me on Literotica and reading my work, guys!

"So, is everything okay between you and Ethan?" Kimberly asked as she sat across from Stacey at lunch a few days later.
"Does it look like everything is okay to you?" Stacey snapped.
"No need to be prissy miss little attitude," Kimberly stated, "I was just asking if everything was okay between you two."
"I don't want to talk about it!" Stacey whined, "And I'm not being prissy or giving you an attitude. Just fucking drop it!"
A few students turn their heads to look at them.
"Then I guess I have to butt in once again and ask your boyfriend what's wrong then." Kimberly stated as she stood up and walked away from Stacey's table.
"Be my fucking guest," Stacey muttered under her breath.
Kimberly just shook her head and walked toward Ethan's table.
-------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ethan was sitting by himself texting Lisa about how Stacey was ignoring him. He was waiting for her response, when he noticed Kimberly walking toward his table and sat across from him. Kimberly never sat with him during lunch. For her to willing do so, something must have happened between her and Stacey.
"Something wrong Kimberly?" Ethan asked.
"I know this is none of my business," Kimberly stated, "but is everything okay between you and Stacey?"
"Why do you ask?" Ethan asked.
"Well I couldn't help but notice that you two have been avoiding each other lately and it's got me worried."
He sighs.
"It's not that WE'RE avoiding each other," Ethan stated, "She's AVOIDING me. Ever since that one night I stayed over at her house and Stacey asked me to go further with her."
"You mean she?" Kimberly stated in a lower voice.
"Yes, Stacey asked me to have sex with her," Ethan stated in the same lower voice, "and ever since then, she's been avoiding me."
"I'm surprised she even asked you," Kimberly said.
"Believe me, I was too," Ethan sighed.
"So since she did ask to go further," Kimberly said, "why did you turn her down?"
"Because I... wasn't in the right mindset," Ethan explained.
"Right mindset?" Kimberly asked.
He sighed again.
"Earlier that evening," Ethan explained, "I had just found out my aunt got into a terrible accident."
Kimberly stared at him wide-eyed.
"So... when Stacey asked me," Ethan continued, "I was too worried about my aunt to even think about... losing my virginity."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Kimberly stated, "I hope she pulls through."
She rests her hand on his. A kind gesture.
"T-Thanks, Kimberly." Ethan stated, "I... I hope she does, too."
It was a lie though. the truth was that he kept remembering what he and Stacey's mom did on her bed. Images of him studying with her in there or kissing her, were all replaced by Lisa clinging to him as they had rough sex on Stacey's bed. He even took her mom's anal cherry.
She then sighs.
"Look... I understand how... prudish or selfish Stacey could be," Kimberly said, "believe me, I've known her since preschool."
"Which makes me sorta envious," Ethan stated, "you practically knew Stacey your entire life. While I've only known her for a short while.
"Trust me, Ethan," Kimberly stated, "you should be grateful that you didn't. Stacey was just as much a prissy little princess as she was back then. Everything was either her way or -"
The bell rang.
"Well, it looks like lunch is over," Kimberly chuckled.
"It appears so," Ethan stated.
Kimbery gives Ethan's hand a gentle squeeze.
"Hang in there, okay?" she said quietly.
She then gets up to leave. Leaving Ethan alone with his thoughts and a troubled heart. Maybe some time apart from both the problem (Mrs. Robinson) and the source (his girlfriend Stacey) would do him some good. Maybe even allow him to clear his mind and focus on his studies.
---------------------------------------------
"So, I talked to Ethan at lunch," Kimberly stated during their fourth period chemistry class.
"Your point?" Stacey asked.
"He told me that the reason why he didn't want to have sex," Kimberly stated, "was because he had just found out his aunt got into a terrible accident."
Stacey stared at her.
"What?" Stacey asked.
"Apparently, he just found out about it the night he stayed over," Kimberly continued.
"Oh god," Stacey said, "I'll... talk to him after school. I need to apologize to him."
"I don't think that's a good idea," Kimberly sighed, "you should leave him be."
"Look, I understand what you're trying to say," Stacey stated, "but I really want to apologize to him for... you know."
"Being a prissy little princess?" Kimberly stated.
"Hey you two, pay attention!" yelled their chemistry teacher.
"Sorry ma'am!" Stacey and Kimberly stated in unison.
--------------------------------------------
"Ethan!" Stacey called out as she spotted him standing by the front entrance.
He turned his head to look at her.
"Listen there's something I want to say to you," Stacey stated.
"There's something I want to say to you too," Ethan stated, "Let's take a break from each other."
She stood there flabbergasted.
"Why?" Stacey asked, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Things... are not working out between us," Ethan explained, "So maybe some time apart will do us both some good."
"NO, I'M NOT ACCEPTING THIS!" Stacey cried out as she ran past him.
It hurt him having to tell her that. He loved Stacey. But at the same time, he also started to have feelings for Mrs. Robinson. Which he knew was wrong, but the pleasure felt so good. Everything about Mrs. Robinson felt good.
He then sighed.
------------------------------------------
Lisa sighed in irritation as Ethan apparently was ignoring her texts. But she couldn't help but find that side of him attractive. Was he now trying to play hard to get?
"I swear that boy," Lisa sighed, "he drives me so fucking crazy. But I like that about him."
The front door slams open, and Stacey races into the living room and flung herself into Lisa's arms.
"Wow, what's wrong Stacey?" Lisa asked as the girl cried into her chest.
"Mom!" Stacey whined, "he... b-broke up w-with me! E-Ethan broke up with m-me!"
"I'm sure he didn't, sweetie," Lisa stated.
"He did!" Stacey whined, "He told me that he wanted to take a break and everything! That means he broke up with meeeee!"
"A break doesn't mean that your relationship is over, sweetie," Lisa stated, "it just means he's... thinking about ending it if things don't improve."
"I really hope he doesn't do that." Lisa thought.
"Then... what do I have to do to prevent it?" Stacey asked while sniffling.
"Stacey, you already know the answer to that question," Lisa stated.
Suddenly, her phone vibrates in her pocket.
"Someone texting you, mom?" Stacey asked.
"Sounds like it," Lisa stated as she retrieves it from her pocket.
It was a text from Ethan.
