Prologue

It was a bright and sunny day, but of course, School was in session. We begin our story, at a 7th Hour Senior class, in the ROTC room, at Comfort High. Through the rustle and bustle of the last class of the day, students wait around, after their inspection, for the bell to ring. We focus in here on two students having a slight discussion. The Boy, who has short, cropped blond hair, brown eyes, fair skinned and is a head taller than the Girl who he is talking to. The Girl, has chin length layered, Dark red hair, dark blue eyes, and is very fair skinned as well.

Katie playfully slapped Darien on the arm, and laughed as he recoiled grinning. "That's not fair!"

"It is too," Darien countered. "I'm a higher rank than you. Now come on hit the deck."

Katie's smiled faded when she saw Top eye her. She harrumphed, and then got down in pushup position.

"Begin," Darien said, watching her every move. "Sound off,"

Before she started, she took off her silver ring, and placed it beside her…."One sir…Two-"

Darien put his foot on her back.

"-Sir,"

Alex ogled the two, and then finally, smoothing out his uniform walked over to them. "Looks like Kat got caught with floor wax on her dress shoes again, huh?" He melodically said.

"Shut up-Seven Sir..." Katie choked out.

Darien, who had taken his foot off a couple push-ups ago, smiled and nodded.

"Eight Sir…"

"Jesus, how long have you two been friends, Kat, and he's still given you push-ups?"

Alex teased.

"Ten Sir."

"Recover." Darien ordered.

"4 years, and if Darien," Katie said, grabbing her ring, replacing it, getting up, fixing her summer blues uniform, and giving Darien the evil eye. "would stop 'Accidentally' pouring his water bottle on my shoes… I'd obviously get away with it. But noooo…." Katie continued to talk as she walked off to get her Lint brush.

Darien watched her stroll away.

"Wow man. Are you ever gonna ask her out?" Alex inquired

Darien glared at Alex. "No way man. I mean," He looked back at Katie, (Whom was still talking) Her attractive porcelain face, making silly expressions to no in particular, made Darien just want to stare. "I… well, no…"

"You like her though."

"Only a bit."

"Then why didn't you say yes, when she asked you out?" Alex asked.

"Because, I had a girlfriend you idiot." Darien rolled his eyes at Alex's insolence.

"When?"

Darien sighed and crossed his arms. "She asked me out freshman year. I had a girlfriend, so I said no. But she wanted to be friends, so I respected that, and now look at us…"

"You guys are practically together." Alex noted. Reminiscing on some of Darien and Katie's days together.

"Do, You think she still likes me? I mean, after all these years?" Darien more like hoped out loud than asked, licking his lips.

"Hell yeah…"
