It had been official between them for several months, the longest and best relationship Amy had ever been in. Rory was kind, sweet and considerate, and was interested in her for far more than just her pretty little face. But both their lives were about to change for the better.
The two of them were sitting in their year 12 maths class. Unfortunately for them, there was a seating plan, which separated the young couple by a distance of an entire room. While Amy had been placed next to her best friend Mels, Rory had been placed next to James, who just happened to be Amy's first high school boyfriend. He was far taller and more butch than Rory could ever be, and the way in which they worked together was always far from comfortable. Even though Amy now despised him, she still treated him nicely, almost as a friend, to keep Rory from being bullied. To Rory, the idea of this was serious, but to Amy, bullying stopped being a serious issue once she entered year 7. Maybe this just proved it. Despite their differences, their love still knew no boundaries.
Around fifteen minutes into the period, an announcement asked all those on the year 12 athletics team to depart for the gym immediately. Much to Rory's relief, James left and never returned during the double period.
Even though the two of them weren't able to talk to each other, they could still look into each other's eyes. They knew from just brief moments of crossing the gaze of the other what they were thinking.
The double period passed as it usually did. Rory stared in Amy's direction whilst she focused on her work at hand, occasionally looking up at Rory and smiling in her most beautiful way. Rory yet again failed to do much more than a handful of questions, and added to his already enormous pile of homework. At the end of the period, Amy passed a note to him and closed it in his open palm. Whatever it was, he was going to read it first thing in English. And when he did read it, he felt a rushing urge of excitement he'd never felt before.
"Rory.
My place, 8 o'clock.
Aunt Sharon will be out.
I have condoms ready"
