"Holy fuck Kimmy! What the hell!" Peyton cried at Kimberly who was now laughing heartily.

She and Sadie had just pulled away from one hell of a makeout session and both girls were panting when Peyton saw Kimberly standing there with a huge smile on her face.

"You two are so fucking adorable! You're like the cutest couple ever!"

"We're not a couple..." Peyton said as she glanced at Sadie, "at least not yet anyway. What do you want?"

"You two have twenty minutes to get ready and mom and dad are waiting for you. You're lucky I came up here and not them. I told them I woke you guys before but you must have fallen back to sleep so I'd come check." Kimberly shook her head with a smile, "try and keep your hands off of each other and get your butts downstairs before they get suspicious."

As soon as Kimberly was gone Sadie exclaimed, "shit!"

Peyton jumped, "what's wrong?"

"I didn't bring my uniform!"

Calmly, Peyton said, "I know. You can borrow mine."

"No offense Peyton, but I am not wearing the boys' uniform."

"I don't expect you to."

Before Sadie could voice her confusion Peyton handed her a uniform, "the skirt's mine so it should fit you. Mr and Mrs D bought it for me but I bought the pants behind their backs. It might be a little tight though because they bought it to actually fit me and well I'm still a bag of bones; you have yet to fatten me up." Peyton smiled.

Sadie shook her head with a smile, "I would make the skirt work. The shirt is your usual shirt size though right?"

Peyton nodded and Sadie smiled, "it's a good thing you wear your clothes a little too big or else I wouldn't be able to steal them."

"Well I don't exactly have a figure that will do much flattering to close fitting clothes."

"Don't worry, I'll fix that." Sadie smiled and then exclaimed, "Peyton! What the hell?"

"What?" Peyton said as she began taking off her night clothes right then and there, "we don't have time to stand on ceremony. Change quickly. All we could do is brush our teeth and maybe wash our faces. We don't have time."

By the time she was finished talking she was already in her uniform and putting on her socks but not before Sadie admired, her blushing brightly. It took Sadie a couple seconds before she too began to change. She noticed that Peyton was doing her damnedest to not look at her so she decided to play with her. When she was only in her bra and the boxers Peyton gave her last night she called her, "Peyton?"

Peyton started to raise her head but when she saw that Sadie was not fully dressed she snapped her head in the opposite direction, "yes?"

Sadie shook her head as she pulled on the skirt and found an excuse to make Peyton look at her. Some part of her needed Peyton to look at her. She wanted to see Peyton's reaction to her half naked form. 'God! I am such a pervert!' "Umm Peyton?"

Peyton bent her head and turned it slightly. When she saw Sadie had on the skirt she looked up only to snap her head away again when she saw that Sadie was still shirtless. "Yes?"

"I need help zipping up the skirt."

"No you don't. The zip is on the side of the skirt not the back. You can do it yourself. You always do it yourself."

"I guess... but I don't want to..."

Peyton sighed and got up off the bed as she finished putting on her shoes. With her head bent and her eyes squinted, she walked across to Sadie and pulled the zipper up for her. It was unable to zip right up but it was okay enough. It was not going to fall down. "There. I'm gonna brush my teeth and such." She said as she began to walk away.

Sadie sighed heavily, "Peyton!"

"Yes?" She remained with her back to Sadie.

Sadie walked towards her and turned her around and Peyton immediately shut her eyes. "Peyton! Why won't you look at me?!"

"I don't want to invade on your privacy. I don't want you to think I'm a creep or anything because I am positive that under your clothes you are an exquisite being and trust me I will stare and dribble."

This caused Sadie to blush as she responded, "you're not invading on my privacy. I want you to look."

Peyton's breath hitched in her throat. She nodded and ever so slowly, she opened her eyes. When she did so she met Sadie's eyes and she spoke with a smirk, "I'm gonna ogle you now."

Sadie blushed a little more as Peyton finally looked at her body. She already had on the skirt so it was really only her upper body that was exposed.

Peyton bit her lip. Her heart was banging against her chest. She couldn't believe she was in that situation. Sadie is the most beautiful person she has ever laid eyes on. To her, Sadie was perfect. "What on earth did I do to deserve this?" She whispered as she met Sadie's eyes once more.

"You are you." Sadie smiled as she leaned in and pecked Peyton on the lips, "now come on, stop staring at me, you're making us late." She smiled.

"Wow! Now this is my fault?" Peyton complained as they exited her bedroom and headed for the bathroom. Sadie threw on the shirt in the process.

They rushed to brush their teeth and fly downstairs; both apologised profusely to Mr and Mrs Dexter saying that they overslept because they went to bed too late.

Surprisingly enough neither of them was suspicious of anything and seemed to wholeheartedly believe the girls.

"Now we know you girls like to walk to school but you will drive today." Mrs Dexter said looking between Kimberly and Peyton. "You don't have time. Plus, you have a guest." She smiled at Sadie who tried to return a smile but could not due to her too full mouth.

Peyton did not even bother to attempt to eat; she just drank a glass of juice. She and Kimberly waited for Sadie to finish shoveling down her toast and scrambled eggs which Mr Dexter had prepared for breakfast.

"Done!" She exclaimed loudly with a triumphant smile. "Tasted great Mr D Thanks!"

Peyton took her wares and washed them quickly as Sadie thanked Mr and Mrs Dexter for letting her stay the night. She returned to the dining room and announced, "alrighty then, let's get going we have five minutes."

Keys already in hand, Kimberly kissed her parents as the girls bid them goodbye and then they were off.

They somehow managed to get to school on time causing all three to exhale with relief.

Sadie left Kimberly and Peyton when they entered the school because she had different classes to them. Peyton watched her walk away and she couldn't help but feel a little sad because she knew she would not see Sadie all day. Seeing that she has lunch time detention and all. 'I hope she sticks around after school... I would really like to see her before I go home.'

Peyton was drawn out of her thoughts by the sound of Kimberly chuckling. She looked at Kimberly, "what?"

"You've got it bad!"

Peyton blushed, "whatever!"

They rushed off to their first class and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the teacher had not come to school so they were free for that period. Everyone moved around the class to sit with their friends and chat or whatever.

Peyton paid them no mind as she just doodled in her notebook while she thought longingly about Sadie and the kisses they shared and how she could not wait to kiss Sadie again. Then her mind ran on Sadie's invitation - or rather her demand - to go to lunch with her mother on Saturday.

Peyton could not help but wonder what Sadie's mother was like, 'is she like Mrs D? Does Sadie look like her? She sure doesn't look like her father... I wonder if she'll approve of me as a friend for her little girl? I wonder what she meant by she thought Sadie was into girls? I can't believe Sadie didn't ask her. Well, she did give me permission to ask and I have every intention of doing so. Although I now know for a fact that she does indeed like girls. Well, she likes me. But I wonder why? I ain't all that. There's so many beautiful girls out there. Why me? Well... I did run her down. Maybe I'm just her experiment. Maybe she's just testing both sexes to see which she prefers and when she decides she'll find somebody she really loves and deserves. But at least for now she's willing to make out with me and I can't be more ecstatic.'

Peyton jumped when her pen was pulled out of her grip. "Your mind sure is far." She heard Casey's humour filled voice say.

She turned and saw Casey smiling at her as she gave her back her pen.

"Hey Casey. Sorry about that. What's up?" Peyton gave her full attention.

"It's okay. Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah of course," Peyton nodded. "Wait, where's Kimmy?"

Casey pointed across the classroom to where Kimmy was talking and laughing with a small group.

"So... Sadie called me yesterday."

Peyton cringed slightly, 'shit, I forgot to ask about how things went with Casey's conversation.' Peyton looked at her concerned, "how'd that go?"

"So you did set her up to it?"

Peyton nodded as she bit her lip, "yeah... I'm sorry..."

Casey smiled, "why are you sorry?"

Peyton shrugged, "maybe it was not my place to do so. I should have asked you first or something. I don't know..."

Casey placed her hand on Peyton's shoulder, "it's okay. I'm fine with it. I have no idea what you did to that girl but whatever it was, thanks!"

Peyton smiled a knowing smile, "I have no idea what I did... anyhow, so you did tell her right?"

Casey nodded, "yeah I did. At first I was really confused cause she called and told me that you said it is okay for me to tell her the secret that I have been keeping from her. I was like what the fuck did Peyton do?! So I was like, 'I'm not keeping any secrets from you' and she was like, 'if Peyton says you are then I believe her so tell me' and I was like, 'you've known Peyton how long? You believe her over me?' and she was like, 'I trust Peyton. Plus, things have been strained between us for a while leading me to believe that Peyton is telling the truth' so then I just blurted, 'I'm a lesbian Sadie. Now you can hate me too' and then she was like, 'why would I hate you for being who you are?' and I was like, 'you hate Peyton' and she was like, 'no I don't. Peyton is my friend' and I was like, 'the fuck?' and she laughed and then she said something to me that just touched my very soul and made me cry."

Peyton was smiling so wide it was getting almost painful, "I am so glad it went well! What did she tell you?"

Casey's eyes got watery as she spoke, "she said to me, and I quote, 'it's okay Casey. I still love you. You are still the same girl I have known and loved for the past three and a half years. All that has changed is that I now know something more about you than I did before. I only hope you can forgive me for my horrible attitude about all of this. I know different now and I am truly sorry.' I can't believe she said that! I mean, is she even the same person?"

Peyton smiled a dreamy smile, "she's the same person... she just had a change of heart."

"Hey, is something going on between the two of you?" Casey probed with a grin.

Peyton blushed, "you can't let her know I told you though."

Casey nodded and put her hand over her heart, "I promise."

"We made out."

"Wow! I'm glad for you! So, are you guys like a couple or something now?"

Peyton gave her signature head shake, "nah..."

"You gonna ask her?"

"I guess so. One day... so what about you though? You have your eyes on anyone?"

Casey gave a shy smile, "well... kind of... but it'll never happen."

"Why?"

"She's married. To a man..."

"Wait what?"

"My neighbour. She is the epitome of what I think a woman should be..." Casey said in a dreamy tone. "See, I don't like girls. I like women. They are more mature. More attractive."

Peyton smiled as she shook her head, "way to break my heart Casey."

Casey nudged her, "oh hush you know I'm not saying anything bad about you. My real fantasy is that when I get to college I'll have this really gorgeous lecturer and we would fall in mad love with each other making every class difficult because of the raw sexual tension between us."

They both laughed and Peyton said to her, "well don't give up on that dream. You never know what life has in store for you. If I could have gotten such a homophobic girl to make out with me you could get your steamy college romance."

"I'm gonna come out to Justine and Kirk at lunch."

Peyton smiled, "I'm really happy for you Casey. I know you had a bit of a hard time with this but seeing you now, you're so free."

Casey nodded, "all thanks to you. I think I was really allowing myself to be deterred by Sadie. I wanted her to be the first I told since she's my best friend and all you know?"

Peyton nodded with a smile, "I totally understand."
