Routines were something everyone had.

The same old routine such as setting your alarm clock so that you wake up the same time every morning. Or that you go in the shower, clean your teeth, get dressed and then have breakfast.

And it's in that order, every day for the rest of your whole life.

Well, Stacey had a routine.

A new routine on top of the normal, usual things.

Every Wednesday and Saturday night; she would go to Axel's house and give up the one thing she wanted to save for someone that loved her.

But Stacey loved Axel, and wasn't that enough?

Apparently to Axel...it wasn't.

"So are you two dating?" Kim – one of the girls on the cheerleading squad – asked as they stood at Stacey's locker.

"Um, no." Stacey said. "We aren't dating."

"Oh so it's friends with benefits." Kim laughed and Stacey joined her.

But she couldn't ignore that tugging in her chest as Kim said that.

Friends with benefits.

That was what they were. They were using each other. Using each other for sex just like friends with benefits did.

So then why did Stacey feel like her and Axel were anything but friends?
