A/N: Due to the lack of Kandrew scenes in the new series, I've been very uninspired for Waterloo Road fanfiction. However, I thought I'd try my hand at it again. I'm afraid I'm rather rusty, so forgive any moments of OOC, but point them out and I'll amend them. :) On a random note, the title won't align in the centre, and it's doing my head in!
Disclaimer: If I owned Waterloo Road, Kim and Andrew would still be together.
Their Little Secret
She watched them from the corner of her eye, attempting to read their body language. He was sat next to her, close, but not close enough to touch. That could just be his principles shining through though; no inappropriate touching during school hours.
He'd obviously done it after school.
Her behaviour was more interesting. Her posture was stiff, her face set in a permanent frown. Conversation was sparse, with a few one-worded comments every so often. With the risk of sounding horribly hopeful and deriving pleasure from their misery, she was sure that they were going through a rough patch in their short relationship. It was inevitable, really. They weren't well suited. She didn't understand him. No one understood him the way she did.
But she wasn't jealous of her.
Lunch time was almost over and she saw him check his watch for the time, make ready to stand. She followed suit. Kim pretended to be reading the magazine on her lap as they passed.
At the pigeon holes she paused, checking for any notices. "I forgot to ask. How was dinner last night?"
"Dinner last night?"
"With your Rwandan friends."
"Oh right. Yes. Of course."
Kim glanced up. Their eyes met. A spark of understanding flashed between them. He hadn't been out with friends from Rwanda. He'd been with her, asking her out to dinner. And she'd refused him. Which she regretted fully now.
It was their little secret.
He finally tore his eyes away from hers.
"It was atrocious," he said quietly, opening the staffroom door. "A complete disaster."
The moment between them had passed. But the secret was safe.
It would always be their little secret.
A/N: Sorry for the shortness/crappiness, but please review anyway. :) Oh, and for the record (but I'm sure you already know this), this takes place the day after series two episode five, when Andrew lies to Lorna about where he's going so he can ask Kim out to dinner instead.
