Reed turned to Nicky and said "Wow I never thought that Dash and Bella would break up!" Then smiling Nicky said "Sounds like someone's happy bout the latest breakup in Privileged." With her face turning red she said "Ok, did you really have to bring our group into this? Like almost everyone of our closest friends are in it." "I know but it sounded good." said Nicky explaining.

When the bell rang for the students to go to their next class, Reed and Nicky got their books and started for History class. Luckily this year they had gotten every class together, except language. Even though they loved walking to History and talking on the long walk across the campus Reed dreaded the walk today. She knew she would have to deal with Dash during History. He sat right next to her and she knew he always looked at her.

While the girls were approaching the classroom Reed dropped her books. So she bent over to pick them up but shocked she saw a hand grab for her journal and Chemistry book. She looked forward to see the face that went with the hand. To her amazement it wasn't Nicky, it was Dash, her crush and he was smiling at her and said "Hi, um. . .here you go, do you need help carrying anything?" starting to blush. Then behind Dash, Reed could see Nicky nodding yes about 20 times smiling. Then starting to laugh Reed said "Oh sure, I guess if you don't mind." "I would love to." said Dash holding her books in his strong arms. Standing up she stood next to him. She looked over and started to stare into his beautiful deep brown eyes. She shook her head and they started to walk to history.

Once they got into the class Reed sat down in her usual spot next to Nicky but to her surprise on the other side of her was Dash sitting down writing something down. Then after she had written down the homework she looked at Dash again and he was going to hand her a note. Then she slowly unfolded the note. Inside it said in red ink "What do you think of me?" Then taking her pen out to write back, she thought about what she should write down. She knew now was her only chance and she had to make her move now. So she wrote "I think your smart, have beautiful eyes, and are really funny." Then she carefully sent the note back to him without being noticed. When he read the note he started to smile and she knew that she had won him over.
