The next day, walking down the halls at school was like hell for her. Every eye in the school was on her, burning like a hand on a hot plate. At least in home room she was greeted by some friendly faces “OH HONEY! How are you feeling today?” Christy ran up to her and pulled her into a tight hug. “We were so worried” Chris stepped back to reveal the worried look on her best friend Jacobs’ face “We were really worried about you. There were no phone calls or anything”

Lauren walked up to him with her arms out stretched “Its all right bunny, I’m fine” Jacob took her hug but pushed her away after a brief show of affection “You know I don’t like that name…Just because you use to call me that when u were little does not mean you have to bring it up at school” Lauren smirked and took his hand “Life long friends…even if you’re a guy and a year older than me”

“Yes…and aren’t I glad I repeated grade 12” He replied sarcastically to her comment.

The home room door opened and the face that walked in was worn out from worry but it instantly lit up when he saw Lauren. Lauren slowly walked toward him and took him in a tight embrace “I’m so sorry Jake” She whispered in his ear. Immediately his hand was under her chin and there lips locked. When they broke apart he whispered back ‘it should be me that’s sorry. I should never have said those sickening and vicious things…I owe you my world and you mean the world to me” A tear fell down her cheek and she pulled him into a loving embrace “I love you…” The bell sounded loudly in their ears and they broke apart and took their seats and started their first lesson.

When the lunch bell rang, Lauren nearly sprinted to the cafeteria and then like every other day she took her seat under the big shady tree beside Jacob and Christy. Lauren fell back onto the soft green grass, closed her eyes and just listened to the chatter going on around her. When she opened them she saw the black mop of hair belonging to Jacob, laughing aloud she sat up. Jacob looked at her with confusion and suspicion “What?”

Lauren laughed again “Nothing…I think you need to get your hair cut. It’s getting long” but it wasn’t Jacob that replied to her remark “I think its fine, its short enough so you can see his blue eyes” Christy’s face immediately went red and she turned away and in reaction a large smile appeared on Jacobs face and his blue eye sparkled “Why…thank you Christy” She turned back to him and smiled “Your very welcome” Lauren beamed at the very sudden show of affection between her two best friends, eager t find out more about this sudden attraction she pushed the subject “Oh hay Christy I’m really sorry, but I’m not going to be able to make it into town on Friday night. Mum wants me to help her do some renovating” Christy looked at her in uncertainty until she figured out what she was trying to do “Aww, no fair. I was so looking forward to going to the movies to” Christy fell back against the tree and crossed her arms “Oh honey I’m sorry. I didn’t know mum was going to ask me to help her, Maybe you can find someone else to take y…” And before she had even finished her sentence Jacob had taken the bait hook, line and sinker. Almost jumping in their laps he yelled a little to loudly “I’ll go…Umm yeah if you don’t mind. I…I will take you” Christy’s eyes lit up and she sat forward and dropped her head “No…I couldn’t make you go out of your way just to take me to the movies”

“NO…No I wouldn’t be going out of my way…I would love to take you” Realizing he might have said to much he sat back down and ate what was left of the squished sandwich in his hand. “Thank you” Was all Christy’s mouth and mind would let her say.

When the third period bell rang Lauren slumped into her chair and pulled out her chemistry books. It was her first lesson of chem. and she had no idea what they were doing. There was an unexpected shadow fall over her and she looked up into deep brown eyes. They contained every emotion ever thought of and yet they held more of sadness and discomfort over everything else. His face was stiff and there was no smile present on the lush lips she had once thought of kissing. “Hey” was the reply in which sent a shiver of coldness down her back. She smiled weakly and nodded back to him in greeting. “Not talking? Well that don’t bother me…but I’m afraid that we’ve been pair for chemistry” Lauren’s jaw dropped and her eyes widened “YOU do chemistry?”

Caleb laughed at her peculiar remark and nodded “Yes…I do chemistry. Now can I sit down or are you going to question whether I should be aloud to sit as well” Laurens mouth still hung low as she pulled her big books off the chair next to her. She felt the rough skin of his hand under her chin as he closed her open mouth for her “Sorry” she giggled embarrassed at her reaction to his comment. All through the lesson she sat and listen to his very detailed description of what they had done the day that she had been away, understanding most of it but not totally listening to what he had to say, she was to busy looking into his intense brown eyes. “…So do you understand…Lauren?”

“Huh…what…umm no not really” WHAT THE HELL! Of course she understood what he was talking about; chemistry was like the easiest subject ever…WHAT DID SHE SAY NO FOR! She knew why she did, she just didn’t want to accept that fact that…she was falling for the bad boy next door. “Would you like some help?”

Once again Lauren was faced with the difficult decision of choosing the right thing to say “Umm...Well…Yeah if you don’t mind” THERE SHE WENT AGAIN! What WAS she doing? “Ok then well if you’re not doing anything this afternoon I’ll come by and go over it with you”

“Yeah sure” She smiled and put on the sweetest face possible.
