OhOhSea:: Trix it is! Lol, hot looking leperachaun. ;D

Stephanie lifted her head out of her book, noting the people in the cafeteria. She could hardly hear with all the noise going around. She glanced to the door and just happened to see Andrew there, waving. At first, she didn't realize it was to her. She looked all around, seeing who he could have been waving at, but she was the only one at the table. Realizing, and feeling like a complete moron when she did, she waved somewhat once he had left. Once he was gone she went right back to reading her book, and her cheeks felt unusually hot. Was she blushing? No...no that couldn't have been it. She hoped.

She jumped just a little when Andrew popped up behind her and sat across from her. At first, she just stared. Mostly because she didn't know what to say, she didn't usually talk in the mornings. However, she made a suffient effort. Her mind wandered back to the subject she had been thinking about a little earlier, before Seth. A relationship. A real one. It's not like she needed the pressure, but it was safe to say she was thinking about it. She wouldn't act on it though, not now. They had just become 'trying' friends, so why risk it anymore? Swallowing hard, she erased the thought from her mind and looked over at him. "Hey." She said.

She fell silent again, having nothing more to say. However, slowly, the side of her lips curved into a soft, but amused smirk. It was quite beautiful. "I saw your wave, by the way. I'm guessing you don't do it much?" She asked, eyes sparkling in curiosity again as she rested her elbow on the table, and placed her chin on her palm. Watching him. Not staring, but watching. Waiting for what he would say, if he would say anything. She wasn't forcing him to say anything, it just interested her was all.

Andrew's forehead wrinkled again, as his eyebrows lowered in confusion. Out of all the questions, she'd ask something as random as that? He always new the wierd one's. He shook the thought off, knowing their were more odd people in the world then her. She's perfect, none the less.. He fidgeted slightly with that thought, and caught himself, I mean, perfectly fine...Just fine... He sighed, and looked back up at Stephanie.

"I never do anything like that to tell you the truth..." He said with a slight chuckle, and looked away from her eyes. For some reason, he couldn't look straight at them. Something about how he acted when he looked straight at her...He never felt so lost...

He sighed, and looked around at the students in the cafeteria. Like he did before, and usually always did. The people that got introuble making out, weren't here. Expelled may be?... He smirked at the thought. But then frowned again. They deserved it. He looked back at Stephanie. Like before, he found himself observing her. Her every move. She didn't seem like the type, to give herself away. She had dignity, and he knew it. She also had so much more in her. Andrew was dieing to know, every single thing about her, but he knew how to hide it. Almost ever since he started looking back at her, he found his eyes getting literally lost. Him just staring back at her. He did a awkward 'cough' or 'clearing his throat', and looked away, rubbing his forehead and then looked around again. He deffinately needed to stop thinking like this. They were JUST friends! And ALWAYS going to be JUST friends!

Stephanie paused at his answer and she found herself smiling again. So...he never smiled at anyone before...and yet with her he did so naturally. He never waved, and yet, again, he did so with her naturally. It was interesting to say the least. She didn't expect him to be so open, or his words have such a crashing effect on her. She wondered, ever so slightly, if her words made an impact on him, too. Are her words just as important? Probably not, they are just useless words. Useless words from Stephanie. Stephanie Sweetnam. Nobody famous, no one even vitally important to the school system. She sighed just a little, under her breath. Amazing how non-important she was.

Coming back to reality, she finally noticed his eyes on her. It took all her might not to blush, she couldn't stand it when people stared at her. It made her feel like a doll, and they were making sure she was perfect. Or semi-perfect before they bought her. She looked over at him and arched an eyebrow. "What?" She asked, voice light, but there was still some confusion. Really, what was he staring at her for? She shook her head and suddenly remembered what she had wanted to tell him. Afterall, they were friends right? "I uh...I have a..." She paused, and looked off to the side in embarressment. "Uhm...a d-date." She said, blushing madeningly. She really hated that word, it signifyed going out with someone. Of course that's what it was, but still.

Still blushing slightly, she looked over at him and let out a breath. "I just figured I'd tell you. In case...you were wondering." She paused, thinking. "Which you weren't, obviously. Force of habit, sorry." She mumbled. Yes, it was a force of habit to blurt things out for her. Not anything deep or personal, but things that made her happy she did. But other then that she was rather quiet. She paused once the first bell rang and she stood up. She looked down at him and, again, she smiled warmly. "I'm...guessing I'll see you at lunch. I'm guessing." She said, not sure if he still wanted to sit by her or not. Her smile turned into a smirk. "Though, I may ask you a lot of questions, somewhat. So, if you decide to stay away from me, that's understandable." She nodded, turned heel, and then walked off to Biology. She sat in a chair and listened to the lectures, easily doing what she was supposed to.

(( Should like...A girl ask Andrew out or something...? And since he finds out Stephanie has a date, he kind of says 'Sure' and stuff? Because well of course he sort of likes her now, and she now has a date. So just to get his mind or something off of her he goes to the date, and then they go to the same restaraunt? I was about to ditch the idea, but I didn't know -__-  It's kind of stupid LOL))

Date...? Something about that word, really hit Andrew...Hard. He felt sick, and a lump came to his throat. He's never felt this way, and he felt like he was about to vommit. He sat there for a moment, soaking in what had just happened. Angrily, he vigourisly grabbed his books and backpack, and slammed the chair back in. Angry. Irritated. Upset. Any words along those lines, explained him at the moment. Why? He may never know.

After a while, Andrew finally started realizing, that it was probably with that guy 'Seth'. He rolled his eyes at the thought. For some reason, he really disliked him. Maybe even hated him. Again, just thinking about it, felt like Vince just kicked him in the gut. Maybe in the chest/heart as well. As he walked the halls, he saw that dumb Seth guy from the corner of his eyes. He sighed and kept walking. Why was he hating him so much? Stephanie liked him, he could tell. And as a friend, Andrew should be happy for her. Like before, he may never know why he hated that stupid Seth guy so much.

Andrew walked to English, and saw half of the clas.s there. He glared at all of them. And then walked to the back of the room, and slumped in his seat. He felt sick. And this was rare. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this way, but he didn't like it at all. He never really had hate for people either. He hated things as much as he wanted, but when it came to people, he for some reason never new. He new he hated Seth more then anyone. He slouched in his chair, and drummed his fingers on the desk. Not listening the whole period. His mind was on a completely different subject as he stared out the window.

OhOhSea:: That could be fun. & Then Seth gets all loud and obnoxious towards Stephanie for a reason I shall say later (:0) and Andrew just strolls over and punches him in the face. XD Then Vince could pop up and then he and Andrew get into a fight and ha. Oh the images swarming through my head. <3 But, I dunno. You might not like my dumb idea. D; Buuut, if you do. I'd like to know now so I can correctly plan this out in my next post. Do you want to be said girl that goes out with Andrew, or shall I? Doesn't matter to me, the more writing the bettah. :D

(( I shall tell you...

213...Hehe.))

OhOhSea:: Thanks! :D

Stephanie continued to do what she was supposed to 1st period. She had never understood much of Biology, only knew from what was on the board. It all seemed like a bunch of garbage to her, just a bunch of bigs words and calculations. That was one of the reasons why she could never be a nerd; it didn't click in her head. She sighed and looked out the window, her mind wandering back to Andrew. She wondered if he was okay, or even remotely okay. He wasn't talking much, not that he ever spoke much but still. It was the thought that counts right? For a moment, she had wished she could have stayed longer to see his reaction on when she said the word 'Date' If he took it as nothing or... She stopped herself then and shook her head. No, there was no room to be thinking anything like that, she had a date. With Seth.

Thinking about her oncoming date, again, snapped her back to reality with a very dark blush. She hadn't been on many dates before, mostly because her uncle didn't exactly allow it. But, with him drunk so much these days and her new 'escape through the window' it was a lot easier then before. It sent a chill down her spine knowing that she had a date. With Seth. Seth. Seth. Again, his name filled her body and mind, possibly even her subconcious, dreamily. Like his name was honey and she was comb. Like that little bee you see in the comercials for Honey Nut Cheerios. 'Be happy, be healthy' In retrespect, she honestly liked that cereal. Loved it really. It did taste fantastic. Again, snapping out of her daze, she sighed on Andrew's name and then looked back at the board, eyes soft. Thoughtful.

Once the 2nd period bell rang, Stephanie quickly and easily gathered her things and started walking there. Sitting in the back, again, for Math, she sighed a little and waited for the cl*censored* to start. While she did, another student came and sat right next to her. Her hair was short, jet black and had a small side bang. Her skin was light and creamy, pouty lips a delicious pink. Her eyes were a blue-green mix, and she wore an off-white dress and heels. Needless to say this stranger was beautiful. "Hello." The girl said. Mentally sighing in her mind, Stephanie looked over at the girl and she smiled. "Hi, you are?" She asked. She didn't really like to converse during cl*censored*, but she was willing to make an exception. The girl smiled. "Miranda." She introduced. "Stephanie." She said, both smiling and turned to face the board when the cl*censored* started.

Halfway through the cl*censored*, Miranda pulled out a piece of paper, chewing the gum in her mouth and scribbling something down on it. She handed it over to Stephanie, who took it easily and read the words. You know Andrew Long, right? The question scribbled on the paper made her pause in astonishment, but she shook her head and scribbled down her own answer; Yes. And handed it back before the teacher turned. Miranda waited until his back was to them and opened it. She p*censored*ed it back. Great. Do you know which locker he has? I have to ask him a question. Stephanie read it and p*censored*ed it back, again. Yea, 213. You might wanna think carefully about what you say though. Miranda arched an eyebrow. Why? Stephanie sighed and looked back at the board. Because he doesn't like people sucking up to him. Just word what you say carefully. Miranda smirked in amusement and then looked at the board.

If she wasn't so hung up in the lesson, Stephanie would have paid more attention, or thought more about what Miranda was going to ask. Because, let's face it, Miranda. She was pretty. Like, really pretty. Pretty enough to make other girls feel insecure about themselves. Not that Stephanie wasn't just as pretty, and not that she cared what anyone thought. Especially not Andrew. No. No, she couldn't think about what Andrew saw in her, if he saw anything. He probably didn't. She sighed just a little and waited for the rest of the period to be over so that she could get to lunch and eat. She wasn't hungry, but it took her mind off of things, which was what she desperatly needed at the moment.

She praised the heavens once that glorious 3rd bell rang and she stood up, as did Miranda. Miranda looked over at Stephanie and smiled brightly. "213, right? Thank you, Stephanie." She said softly and then walked off, a little eager. Stephanie ignored it for the time being and wandered over to her locker, placing her books inside. "Math sucked huh?" The voice caught her off guard. She looked over at Seth, a little dreamily and smiled somewhat. "Oh, uh. Yea. Totally." She said. His smirk never vanished, but his ex
pression did. He placed his hand on her cheek, the look in his eyes was...what? Hunger? Though it wasn't the kind of hunger that made her think he was hungry. She swallowed hard again, finding it hard to breathe. Seth smiled somewhat and took his hand off her cheek and his ex
pression was normal. "See you around, Stephanie." He said and walked off.

Stephanie stood there for a while, heart beating rapidly. Slowly, as she found that she could move she looked inside her locker. Dazed, she forgot it was time for lunch. She grabbed her book, flung her backpack over her shoulder and started walking, hardly able to see straight. She knew that look in his eyes, and it made her stomach clench. She made her way to the usual empty table and sat there. Beginning to read again, forgetting, for a moment, about everything.

Meanwhile, Miranda had been casually wandering the halls until she finally found his locker. Lucky for her, it was the last one in the row, she she was able to lean against a wall. Chewing on her gum, her eyes scanned the place as she waited for Andrew to appear. He had to come to his locker before lunch, and she'd be waiting. To ask him out. It wasn't something she did normally. Normally, people would ask her out, but she decided he was worth it. He was just too hot to give up on so easily. And so she waited, chewing.

(( What's going on with your friend? Telll Trixx {Hehe...T.T.=Tell Trix] ))

The first 2 periods didn't go by as quickly as usual. The whole first period, was him doing the same thing. Staring off out the window until he heard his name being angrily called to him. He'd jump and stare back at the teacher, another sad ex
pression on his face. He ran a hand through his hair after he saw the teachers glare then went back to his lecture. What's wrong with me...? Andrew felt sick. There was even this wierd pain in his heart too. He casually rubbed his chest where he guessed his heart was, wondering if this was all because he didn't eat breakfast this morning. After realizing he never really eats breakfast, he figured that, that couldn't be the issue at the moment.

After the 3rd period bell rang, referring to lunch, he stayed in his seat. Staring out into space again. Waiting for all the clas.s to leave before he did. Not wanting to get caught in the stampede. The word 'Date' kept coming to mind. But he doubted it was because of Stephanie having a date with that dumb Seth. (Denial...) Though he did wonder, why everytime he saw him now, he wanted to walk over there, and rip his head off. Then laugh at him, dead on the ground. He usually would have smirked at the thought, but right now, he really wasn't in the mood. Probably if Stephanie was here, I'd smile... He frowned, and angrily got out of his seat. Stupid Stephanie! Had to make him feel this way...Was this what he deserved for trying to have a friend for once? He did a slight growl, that only he could hear as he was about to walk out of the door, when he heard his name called. "Andrew...Can I talk to you?" He rolled his eyes, and turned around to stare back at the teacher. The teacher got up, and gave him a book. It had a book cover on it, so Andrew couldn't see if it was a text book or not. He flipped through the pages, being silent. Seeing as to it was a book to read. Great... "Seeing as to, your not listening in clas.s anymore...I'm going to have to give you this *censored*ignment." The teacher handed him a sheet of paper also, Andrew read the words at the top 'RUBRIC'. Andrew didn't give any response. He stood there acting like the teacher never said a thing. Until finally the teacher lifted an eyebrow, showing Andrew that how he was acting was probably disrespectful. "Okay..." He forced out, with that stupid lump in his throat. "Now...I chose this book for a certain reason Andrew...I would like you to take this seriously, Okay?" Andrew kept frowning, and repeated himself. Too numb from his feelings to say anymore then "Okay." The teacher nodded his head, and did a dismissing wave. "Now go to lunch." Andrew rolled his eyes, and walked away, heading towards his locker.

As Andrew wandered around again for his locker again, he noticed a girl standing beside it. He frowned, and walked slower, until finally reality hit, and he realized that even if he walked slower he'd still get there. Sooner or later. He sighed, and rubbed his chest area one more time casually, feeling his heart literally hurt.  What the heck is this? A mini heart attack? Stephanie must be really doing something to his brain lately.

When he got to his locker, he played with the combination, saying it in his head like before. 23....12...9... He opened it up, and looked back at the girl chewing gum. Then acted as if she wasn't there, while he got his stuff for lunch. He wasn't in the mood to eat, he just felt...Sad now. He put the money back, and looked back at the girl before putting his books away. Wondering what she wanted.

OhOhSea:: She's just a stuck up priss that needs a broken nose. She's rich and thinks she's all high and mighty. Superiority issues, really. Maybe even bipolar...not sure. But our hate runs deep from last year, and that's a whole 'nother story. Let's just say she's lucky have self control.

Miranda watched Andrew with an amused stare, her stare just like everyone elses. Seeing only what he was like on the outside, never on the inside. Honestly, why do people do that? It's like they can't see anything more besides a chizzled chest and a great smile. That can also be vice versa'd. Everyone should just pretend they're blind; that way they get to know a person for their personality, not just their looks. Bet there'd be less divorce if people would quit being so artificial. Her eyes trailed down his body and she resisted the urge to lick her lips. Honestly, she saw the way he 'beat up' Vince in the catch the flag game. That had to be the moment she got even remotely interested in this kid, and that was saying something, because she was only interested in herself. Still was. Snapping back to reality, somewhat, she looked over at him.

 She smiled somewhat. "Hello." She finally introduced when he pretended he hadn't seen her. Or even noticed her in the slightest. "You're Andrew right? Miranda. Miranda Gibbons." She said, a little more formally. She leaned in a little closer to him, elbow on the wall. "I've noticed you for a while and, well, since you wouldn't come to me I figured I'd come to you." She said and stared into his eyes. "Would you want to go on a date with me tonight? Say, 8?" She asked, arching an eyebrow. Chewing.

OhOhSea:: Sorry, short. :x

(( Well, if you guys were ever really friends, you'll get through whatever it was. ^^, but I aint telling you what to do...But if I had a friend like that (Trust me, I have friend issues -__- ) I be the better person/mature person and not go all hating on her. -__- That's just me though :/...))

Andrew closed the locker, and frowned back at Miranda. Seeing as too, she was staring at him, made him feel uncomfortable, but he hid that. "Yeah..Yeah I'm Andrew Long." He said with a slight nod. He stared at her for a moment, thinking about this question.Go on a date...He never really been on a date before,or even kissed a girl before and he had to admit, it felt kind of good to see that someone wanted too. Or atleast, wasn't getting all in his face about it. For a second, his mind even went off of Stephanie. But just thinking about how his mind got off of her, brought Stephanie back into his mind.

Just the thought of her, made him hurt again. He, like before, had no idea why. He wished this pain would leave soon, and he looked back at Miranda. Observing, like he usually did. To any other man she looked beautiful.Stunning. And to Andrew, she was. But he couldn't help but see through all the glamour, and just look at her 'heart'. Look at how cold she probably was behind the beautiful blue-green eyes, and sexy full lips. He just new that it was an act. But as he stared back at her eyes, silent for a moment, he found himself forgetting about Stephanie again. Then did a slight smirk. No. Not the one he only desired Stephanie to have, but just the corners of his lips curving slightly upward. This was it! Forgetting about Stephanie, took that stupid aching away from his heart. He leaned his shoulder against the locker, and shrugged, "I'd love too." He said simply, "I'm guessing I'll be picking you up?" He knew he was talking more then usual.He even was kind of eager, since he has never done this before. But the fact that he found a way to forget about Stephanie for good, that stupid pain ruining his day going away, forced him to have the attitude 'I'll do anything'. Which even meant, having to put some effort into this date. Though, Andrew wasn't using Miranda in any way. He did plan on seeing if they were 'compatible' but something in the back of his mind, told him that he would never be as compatible with anyone other then Stephanie. He shook the thought off and looked back at her.

OhOhSea:: But we're not friends. Our mom's are friends. We're just stuck together because of it. :/

Miranda saw his change in attitude and she smiled somewhat, stopping her chewing for the time being. Interesting. "Yes, duh. You have to have some manners and pick the chick up; it's in the dating rules of the world." She joked sarcastically. Very sarcastically. There was hardly any playfulness in that sentence at all. She finally just smiled and started chewing again. "Great, glad you said yes. I know a great restaurant we could go to." She said, leaned in and just head on kissed him. On the lips. Before any teacher could see, she pulled back. "See ya later then." She breathed and then walked off, seeming unphased by what she just did. She probably did it so much it had no meaning whatsoever anymore.

(( OMG....

The only reason why me and my 'friend' are 'friends', is because my sister, and her sister are best friends, and then our mom's are friends...So when they came over, of course my ...'friend' would come over too...Gosh that's so wierd! :O ))

Andrew's heart stopped after they kissed. He watched as she walked away, and stared for a moment. Slightly the way he did, when Stephanie got that close to him. But ironically he was more awestruck when Stephanie ALMOST kissed him, then when Miranda actually did. (Playaaa) Swallowing hard, while trying his best to bl
ink and leave his day dream, but even blinking didn't take him to reality. Did that just happen? Surely that was a dream. Her lips against his was just a dream. He finally came back to reality, and started toward the cafeteria. In awe.

As Andrew walked into the cafeteria, his mind set on Stephanie again. But...The pain was gone. He sighed, knowing he was still hating Seth. Still wanting to rip his head off, the pain was in there no matter how much he wanted to deny it, and he wanted to be Stephanies knight and shining armor. He stopped walking again. Did he really just think that? Knight and shining armor? Where am I, in a farytale book? He's had, pain, smiles, a planned date, and a kiss. A kiss. He deffinately knew that if he would have known all of this would have happened yesterday, he would have enjoyed yesterday, loved every person there, and treated them like it's the last day they'll live.

He sighed as he started walking again, sitting in the same spot as the day before. Still in awe about what happened. Something inside him became excited for this date. He squirmed a little in his seat, and smirked to himself, as he thought about it. Maybe she'll kiss him again? He won't have to say he's never been kissed now! Maybe they'll go on another date? Get closer? As he thought all these questions, his mind went back to Stephanie. What about Stephanie... He had feelings for her. He knew that those feelings were the wall, to every other girl he had a chance with. The only thing stopping him from being with any other girl. He perked his head up and looked for her. She wants to kill me, and say she has a date with some other guy...? Ha...I'll do the same to her... He frowned as he watched the crowd. Searching for one girl. And no. It wasn't Miranda.

OhOhSea:: Wow, that is weird. :0

Stephanie, for a while, had been in the bathroom. No, she wasn't actually using it, she just stared at herself in the mirror. Not in that 'Oh wow I'm hot' kinda way, it was more like, she was pointing out all her flaws. Now that she was thinking, she really did have a lot. But when she tried to say them outloud, she came up blank. Maybe she was thinking about this too much. She walked out the bathroom with her book and walked back into the cafeteria. She paused when she found him, at her once empty table. She walked over and sat across from him, as she did yesterday. She looked over at him and was about to say something but she closed her mouth. She arched an eyebrow and blinked. "You seem...happier." She said.

Stephanie looked at him, not staring, again. She noticed how his eyes were sparkling in, what? Anticipation? She couldn't hope but note how...nice they looked with the rare emotion. Her eyes trailed down his body for a moment, wondering what had him so ecstatic. Her eyes lingered on his lips and her eyes widened before they turned to normal again. "So...who have you been kissing?" She finally asked. It was all too easy to notice; lips were always puffed out, pinker when they had just been kissed. And she knew all to well how they looked; she thought she looked awful her first kiss back in 6th grade. She continued to look at him, waiting. Her book un opened, which was a first for her. But she just wanted to know. And what was this feeling that filled her senses? Jealousy? No...no impossible.

Andrew jumped to see Stephanie sitting across from him. He was day dreaming about who knows what these days, and was glad to have his eyes now looking back at her irristable one's. "Oh that's nothing.." He said, rolling his eyes, and licking his lips out of habit. He found himself doing that a lot lately. Though he's been trying to stop. In the cold, if your lips are wet, they get chapped.No wonder I used to always have chapped lips... He shook the thought out of his head, knowing there were other things to worry about, then his lips.

After a couple of moments, he looked back up at her. His eyebrows lowering in confusion. "How'd you know, I kissed someone?" He asked, making sure there wasn't no embarressing lips stick around his lips. THAT would be embaressing... He looked back up at Stephanie, and lifted an eyebrow. Waiting for a response.

Stephanie, at first, didn't respond. Her mind was somewhat clouded from the way he had licked his lips. She mentally slapped herself, again, she had been doing it a lot today. She looked over at him again, once she was haze free. Her lips curled into an amused smirk. "Your lips...they're softer. Pinker. A bit puffier. It's what happens when you kiss someone." She said, slowly outlining his lips gently with her fingertips. Gently, almost like a feather. She didn't exactly pay attention to what she was doing, as this could very easily set some guys off; and I don't mean anger wise. "They're warmer too." She added as she let her hand drop. She shrugged somewhat. "That's how I know." She finally answered, opening her book again. She started reading, but it wasn't sinking in. Her mind was too busy wondering who had kissed him...and why.

Despite the nagging 'It's none of your business' voice in the back of her head, she looked up at him again. Her grey eyes sparkling, again, with curiosity. "If you don't mind me asking...uh...who was it? And why?" She asked. Her voice was unphased, like this didn't bother her. But it did, oh it did. She just didn't let it show. She kept her twinkling eyes on him, waiting for his response. While waiting she placed her elbow on the desk and rested her chin in her palm(I'mma start calling this her 'Normal' position because typing this over and over gets annoying) and continued to watch. Silent, waiting.

(( LOL. I'll remember what the position is ;) ))

Andrew felt chills as he felt Stephanie's fingertips outline his puffier pink lips. He even felt himself blushing slightly. Gosh, how he hated her at that moment! She new just how to make him weak. He swallowed as he stared back at those irrisisable eyes,He even found himself going down to look at her lips and sighed as he looked back up at her eyes. Feeling better. The way they looked at eachother...It was...Real. He let the eye contact leave, as he couldn't help but look away. No! He had a date with Miranda! That doesn't mean he could have these wierd feelings with Stephanie.

"Oh it was nothing, just this girl, Miranda Gibbens." He shrugged, feeling wierd about how he remember her name. As if, he actually cared? He smirked slightly at his next statement, "I'm going to dinner with her ." He said simply, yet trailing off. He looked back up at her, and tried to have a 'It's whatever' attitude. But he was still awestruck by the kiss. The kiss he's been waiting for really. But of course, it wasn't a real kiss. Miranda is nothing to him at the moment. Usually, first dates are to see if you get along, have things in common. Stuff like that. So right now, he didn't have much feelings for Miranda. But Stephanie...She's a whole other story. Just the way their eye's met, made him lost. The way she acted, even nowadays, as if she didn't care about him at all, sent him chills. He could never, and vowed to never, tell anyone about these feelings. Honestly feeling slightly gay for being so 'jittery' sort of about a kiss.

OhOhSea:: Watch you forget. :p

Stephanie felt her heart sink drastically at the name 'Miranda Gibbons' Oh...oh god. And, she hadn't fully composed herself when he said they were going out to dinner...a date. The words filled her with pain, but she couldn't quite understand why. She was silent then, very silent. For maybe five or so minutes. On the outside, she looked perfectly calm, like nothing had phased her whatsoever. However, on the inside, she was just a mess. Her heart was in her stomach, being burned by the pool of acid, and her stomach was churning. She felt like she was going to hurl, to say the least. She couldn't believe it, he had a date. He had a date with Miranda. Miranda! She didn't stand a chance against her, she knew she didn't. Miranda was...pretty and smart and funny...and Stephanie. Well, she wasn't. She wasn't anything more then a blonde student with nice eyes. That's all she had to offer, and it made her sick to her stomach. Now she realized why they could never be in a relationship; she didn't have anything to offer!

Her lips were pressed together softly, staying there to conceal her clenched teeth. Her eyes were still sparkling, everything about her seemed...very normal. On the outside, again. She finally, finally, finally forced a smile on her face. Though, it wouldn't look forced. Not at all. She nodded once, swallowing hard. "That's great." She said, her tone enthusiastic for him, even though she really wasn't. Well...no that's not true. She was happy for him, if he was happy about it. She wanted him to be content, it wasn't about her. She stared at him for another moment before she finally broke eye-contact. She started reading her book, paying attention to the words now. It kept her mind off of it. However, she looked up at him. Again. "Are you hungry?" She asked, standing up. "I'm going to a small cafe downtown." She added. It wasn't like she expected him to come, but still. He could be hungry. She waited for his answer, flipping her bag over her shoulder.

Andrew blinked a couple of times, as Stephanie talked. The 5 minutes of agonizing silence, made him day dream again. He looked back up at her, and got up too. "I guess. Matter's what's there." He said with a smirk. He completely lost his appetite today when he saw the cafeteria food, but the cafe downtown might be a little bit more...Appetizing. He got his backpack too, and nodded his head. Pretty much stating, he would be going with her.

Though, he wasn't saying this too her, he really wasn't that hungry. Something about her leaving, made him want to follow. Go with her. Stay with her. He still couldn't explain it, even though it was right out there, in the clear blue. He sighed at the thought. Was it impossible to have these feelings for a girl, and then go on a date with someone else to see if you make sparks? It was quite impossible if that girl he has feelings for, was in the way. She was deffantely the wall between Andrew and Miranda. And probably the only thing, keeping him from leaving this school, too. He'd never have enough guts to say it, but Stephanie really held a special place in his heart.

(( I SO will... lol..))
