Chapter 1
Bucky was walking down the hallway in his dark purple and orange letterman jacket. Angelina was standing at her locker crying with Valkyrja who was comforting her. Bucky was walking toward his second class when he saw that Angelina was crying and the only reason that Bucky knew Angelina was from when he watched the half-time show at the football games and saw her marching. He had a crush on her ever since freshman year and had only talked to her about 3 times. "Angelina what's wrong?" Bucky asked her while he leaned up against the locker next to hers. Angelina sniffled "Nothing it is just that my boyfriend Chris just broke up with me over a text." Angelina looked down and contiuned to cry. "Wow, what a jerk, I would never do that to you or any girl for that matter." Bucky told her trying his best to flirt. "Bucky, stop she just got her heart broken." Valkyrja whispered over Angelina's shoulder. Angelina shut her locker and went to her second class with Valkyrja flowing. Bucky went to his class and contiuned on with his day.
At lunch he saw Angelina sitting at a lunch table all by herself. He went and sat down right in- front of her. "Hey are you feeling any better?" Bucky asked her. "Yeah, thanks." Angelina answered back before taking a bite out of an apple. Angelina finished eating her lunch in silence with Bucky and left without saying a word. Bucky watched her leave and went over to the football players table. "Hey Buck, Chris said, why are you talking to Angelina?" Bucky just stared at him for a minute. "Chris, how could you do that to Angelina? You broke her heart over a text message! I mean yes she is a band geek and she is not popular like Natasha, and don't try and say that you didn't break up with Angelina to get with Natasha because I know you did." Bucky finished his little rant and looked at Chris for an answer. "Buck, look I did break up with her because I wanted to date Natasha, but I did not care if she was a band geek I just was tired of being taught how to treat a girl right by her." Chris said back. "Did you ever think that maybe she was teaching you how to treat a girl because you are a jerk." Bucky replied back and leaving so Chris could not give back a comment.
Angelina was walking past the library to go to the band room and practice when she saw Valkyrja in the library at a table talking to a guy with black hair across the table from her. Angelina saw him leave and went in to the library and sat down in front of Valkyrja. "Valkyrja, Angelina said to get her attention, who was that you were talking to?" Valkyrja looked up and set down the fault in our stars book which she was reading for the third time. "That was Loki my dear friend, he just moved here from Great Britain. I bumped into him while he was coming out of the office going to the library and dropped all of my books, but he bent down and helped me bring them back and return them. We just sat down and started talking." Valkyrja looked at Angelina for her comments or concerns. "Well it looks like you might have a boy toy very soon." Angelina said with a little sass in her voice and raising an eyebrow. "Yes and you might to if you would open your eyes and did not date that jerk Chris" Valkyrja said in reply to Angelina's comment. Angelina looked at her "Who are you talking about?" she asked. "I am talking about Bucky, my dear, did you see the way he was trying to comfort you this morning, while you were crying. When I guy that you barely know tries to comfort you that usually means nine times out of ten he likes you a lot." Valkyrja was explaining everything that Bucky had done to get her attention like asking her for notes even though he had them all, asking for help on class work even though he knew how and many other things. Angelina saw Bucky walk past the library door as she was talking to Valkyrja, "Well I have to go practice for the concert Val and I will talk to you later." Angelina said as she waved goodbye and Valkyrja picked up her book again. Angelina saw Bucky a few feet walking down the hallway in front of her, "Hey Bucky, wait up!" she yelled. Bucky stopped and looked behind him to see Angelina catching up to him. "Hey Angelina, what's up?" Bucky asked as he contiuned to walk with Angelina next to him down the hallway. "Nothing, just wanted to talk to someone." Angelina said as she fixed her grip on her clarinet case. "Oh, well where are you headed?" Bucky asked her. "I am heading to the band room; I have got to practice this part for the concert Thursday." Angelina answered back while they started walking down the hallway. Angelina and Bucky reached the band room and she walked in; "Do you want to come in and listen to me practice?" Angelina asked him while holding open the door. "Uh, yeah sure, I'd love too." Bucky entered the room and sat down on the opposite side of Angelina and watched her set-up. "Are you ready to listen?" Angelina asked him while setting down in front of him. "Yeah play on." Bucky answered back. Angelina started to play Amazing grace, which was going to be her solo in the concert, as she played she noticed Bucky watching her finger movements closely. Angelina stopped playing, "Hey Bucky do you want to try and play it?" she asked while she stood up next to Bucky holding the clarinet close to him. "Sure but I have no idea how." Bucky replied as he took the instrument from her hands. "Don't worry I will teach you" Angelina said as he walked behind him. She took hold of Bucky's left hand and placed it then the right hand and placed it. Bucky felt Angelina's head on his shoulder. "Is this right?" Bucky asked he turned his head and looked at Angelina; she turned her head and felt something in her stomach. Angelina started to lean closer to Bucky and he did the same. Angelina kissed Bucky and closed her eyes; once she did that Angelina had just realized what she just done. She looked at Bucky and ran out of the room quickly; Bucky sat down the clarinet and ran after Angelina. Angelina ran down the hallway with her face red as a cherry and went around a corner, she just stood there. Bucky came running down the hallway and looked everywhere for Angelina =, when he turned the corner he saw her standing in the corner hiding her face. He stopped and stood in front her; "Hey Angelina, Bucky said taking his hand and uncovering her face. Angelina looked up to meet Bucky's gaze. Bucky wiped away the two tears away with his thumb; Bucky leaned toward Angelina and kissed her. Bucky pulled away and looked at Angelina; "Hey Bucky!" He turned his head to see Chris walked down the hallway very angrily at him. "What are you doing kissing my girlfriend!?" Chris was screaming at him. Angelina walked out from the corner and stood right in front of Chris. "What do you mean 'your' girlfriend or did you forget that you broke up with me over a text message two days ago!" Angelina was screaming at Chris. "I meant that we just needed to take a little break, we weren't fully broken up." Chris argued back. "Well Chris, we are now officially broken up." Angelina said grabbing Bucky's hand. Chris grabbed her arm and pulled her away from Bucky; Angelina looked up at Chris and smacked him across the face "Don't you ever grab my arm!" Angelina told him as she turned around and walked away with Bucky.
Valkyrja was in the drama room with Loki running over some lines for Romeo & Juliet. "Your hand is like a holy place that my hand is unworthy to visit. If you're offended by the touch of my hand, my two lips are standing here like blushing pilgrims, ready to make things better with a kiss." Loki read aloud as he took Valkyrja hand. "Yes, pilgrim—they have lips that they're supposed to pray with." Valkyrja replied as she read on her lines. "Well then, saint, let lips do what hands do. I'm praying for you to kiss me. Please grant my prayer so my faith doesn't turn to despair." Loki finished the sentence and they were behind a pillar in the set where they were practicing. Loki was standing very close to Valkyrja, close enough for her to feel his breath. Valkyrja looked down at her script taking a deep breath, "Um…, I lost my place." she said looking up at Loki. Loki took his hand and held her head up and gave Valkyrja a light kiss. "I have to leave now; I shall talk to you soon, agreed?" Loki said leaving without getting an answer from her. When Loki walked out of the drama department door Angelina entered next to him. She rushed over to Valkyrja who was leaning up against the pillar. "Valkyrja, Valkyrja!" Angelina screamed while shaking her back to real life. "What happened, what have I missed?" she asked. "I just got a kiss from Loki." Valkyrja told Angelina as she put her script down on her bag. Angelina looked at her, "So we might both have boyfriends very soon." Valkyrja looked at her wondering. "What do you mean we, now what did I miss?" Valkyrja asked. "I for one hit Chris and I also kissed Bucky." Angelina said while biting her lip. "Finally you got the message that Bucky was ending you huh?" Valkyrja said while she picked up her bag and walked out of the room with Angelina. They walked out of the school and got into Angelina's car and they went home.
Angelina was at her house on when she got a notification saying she was mentioned in a post. She looked and Chris was bashing her online, she was just going to brush it off of her shoulder until she noticed that Bucky was fighting for her in the comments. She just left it alone and would deal with it later. Angelina messaged Valkyrja saying that she was going to sleep, did their usual goodnight saying and went to sleep.
