Story:

It is a sunny day in Starlight City. You can hear the birds chirping outside and the fresh smell of coffee in the Snow residence as the clock reads 6 am. Caitlin reaches over to her alarm to hit the snooze button as she can hear her mom shouting," Get up kids!"

She gets out and puts on her slippers while opening the door to see her brothers Cisco and Dante with their pajamas and slippers on too. They make it down and see that there mom has made freshly baked waffles with eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee and creamer on the side for all of them to eat. Each take their seat as the wait for their dad to get down so that can start eating. As Max Snow got down the stairs dressed in a suit, he kissed his wife a good morning then took a seat and said," Good morning kids. Let's eat."

After he said that they all digged in and starting eating. Carla and Max started talking about work while Cisco, Caitlin and Dante spoke about school and after school activities. "Are you going to try out for Football Dante?" Caitlin asked her older brother.

Dante shook his head yes and said, "You will be cheering me on right Cait."

She nodded her head as Cisco said," When are you going to join the science club Cait?"

She shrugged then thought about what Ronnie would say if she decided to do that. He called her brother and the other science club member's geeks and freaks. Which reminded her of why she broke up with him so much. As they finish eating the kids went up to get ready and head out for the door. They each had their own car which they drove to school. As Caitlin got there she saw her best friends Iris and Felicity waiting for her. Iris was by Barry her brother who Caitlin had a secret crush on. As she approached them she saw Barry become all shy and nervous. "Hi you guys. Hey Barry can I talk to you after cheer practice because I kind of need help with something regarding a class." I say to him.

What I did not notice was Iris smiling and inside coming up with plan to get her and Barry together. Barry who had been looking at the comic book he had bought yesterday turned away from it when Caitlin asked for his help. He nod yes to her and just stared her as she stared at him. He had always been in love with Caitlin since the first time he met her in the playgrounds of pre-school. They had been so much closer back then performing experiments after she was done playing Barbie with Iris. After they hit middle school he saw his enemy Ronnie ask her out and the funny thing he realize after Cisco pointed out was that she had look at him before saying yes. Like asking for permission since they were getting closer. That day though hurt him so badly that she would choose a guy who teased her throughout elementary school over him. He was brought out of his trace when she looked down for a bit then the bell rang. He gave a hug to Iris and Caitlin to her brothers and they each went there ways. Barry and Caitlin had almost every class together except last period where she went to cheer practice. She was captain after all.

Barry and Caitlin walked side by side as they made it inside first period but what they did not notice was Ronnie looking at them with an evil look. Caitlin was happy that first period was chemistry because she loved science. She had a secret passion for it that only her brothers, Iris and Barry knew about. She had a straight A in the class and with Barry as her partner how could she not. They sat next to each other and listen to the instructor go on about the project. She opened her book and saw the letter that she had written when she was younger inside with Barry's name on it. She stared at it but so did Barry who reached over to grab it and just open it. She tried taking it back but he was so much taller than she was and he already had it open. He read it while she blushed because it was a love letter. It was dated back to middle school. Then she remember that they were supposed to meet up later today. She was having trouble with a class and need help but now that seem like such a little insignificant thing to worry about. Since she refuse to look at him, she focused on the 's class but if she would have paid more of attention she would have noticed Barry's stare and smile. Barry looked like he won the lottery because he now had a chance with Caitlin Snow. He was planning on asking her out after her cheer practice totally forgetting Ronnie.

Classes went by fast and it became time for lunch time which is when she goes and sits by Ronnie but today she decided against it and went to sit by Oliver and Felicity. Across from her are Iris, Eddie and Barry along with Cisco. She opens her lunch bag and takes out a sandwich that was made by her mother. Oliver turns to her and says, "Ronnie is looking at you with an evil glare."

I turn to look at Ronnie and he turns away which makes me look at Oliver and say," He can stare all he wants but it is over between me and him. I am planning on moving on this year."

Oliver gives me a hug and whispers a "good for you" to me that makes me smile at him. Oliver has always treated me as a little sister along with my brothers Dante and Cisco but with him it is a little different because it started when he had a crush on me in the middle school. He told me that if he would have not seen the way I looked at Barry he would have tried to pursuit me but then he met Felicity and he saw what love really is compare to a crush.

When he opened up to me that changed our relationship into a stronger one. He even helped when Ronnie was trying to pressure me into having intercourse with him and he became more aggressive with me. I even remember Felicity telling me that she was jealous of the friendship but I explain to her our story and how Oliver told me that she was his everything and that brought on my mine and Felicity's friendship in the first place. As I am day dreaming Cisco throws a Cheetos at me and that brings laughter around our table and a smile from me. I throw a couple back at him and start eating my sandwich while everyone continues to eat their lunch.

I make small talk with Oliver while he tries to make me laugh which he succeeds in. What goes unnoticed by me and Oliver but not Cisco is the way Barry looks longing at Caitlin. Cisco makes a mental note to question Barry later on today about that look. What was not unknown among the group was that Cisco and Dante hated Ronnie with passion. As the lunch hour ended they all parted ways with Barry, Iris and Catlin heading for math class. Iris grabs Caitlin arm by looping hers in-between hers with Barry on the side saying," You guys do your homework last night?"

Both girls stop and look at him like he has grown two heads. Barry Allen not doing homework is really unheard of. "Are you telling me that you did not do your homework last night?" Iris asks in her motherly/sisterly tone that makes Barry smile awkwardly.

Now it is Caitlin's turn to say, "I will catch up with you in about 15 minutes once I help Barry with his homework. I can afford 5 points coming off for tartness. Thanks Iris!" She says while dragging Barry by the both arms to the library with a small frown directed at Barry. Iris just runs to class and tells her instructor that Barry and Caitlin will be late because of personal reasons that she cannot discuss in front of the class.

The instructor just looks at her and then smiles because Iris is looking her with one of those million dollar smiles. At the library though Barry is being lecture about the importance of doing your homework. "Really Barry, you decide not do your homework when you know that finals will be coming up in two weeks straight. I was going to ask you if you could tutor me because I know you are the smartest out of the group and the kindest but now I am rethinking that. How can you not think of our future…. Umm… of your future?" she finishes off lamely hoping he did not catch her mistakes.

Unfortunately, for her he did catch the mistake and says, "No… you are right. Our future which is what I want to talk to you about Cait. I read the letter and I want to say that I am in love with you. I have been since preschool just like I know that you love me too. When you started dating Ronnie I was so jealous that even Dante and Oliver notice which must say something."

Caitlin looks away then after hearing the speech thinks "a new year and a new me" and grabs Barry's head and smashes their lips together. Barry gets over the shock in two seconds and kisses her back with passion. Fireworks are going on in their heads but after a good five minutes they final come up for air. "I love you too Barry. I have loved for so long and as my letter said, I will always love you and only you. I only went out with Ronnie because I felt like you did not feel the same way, but after my first date with him I wrote you that letter."

Barry smiles very brightly and I smile back but then I remember why we are here and I give him a light punch in the arm and say, "I may love you but how could you not do your homework?"

He frowns and says, "Before I work on it can you answer me one question?" I smile and he says, "Will you be my girl?" I nod my head and kiss him again. After we break apart he open his books and starts looking at me with a smile. I look at his textbook and tell him to start writing while I read him the word problem. We get his homework done in ten minutes and head to class which is almost over in five minutes since class is only 30 minutes. I decide not to go in and just grab Barry's hand to pull him in to the locker that is beside the room. He smiles big understanding what is going to happen because he pulls me into him by my waist and drops kisses all over my face which make me laugh. I grabs his cheeks and kiss him. While distracted by each other we never notice or hear the bell ring and Iris standing there whistling. After she calls out our names we come up for air with me blushing like a little child. Barry laughs and brings me into his embrace.

I hug Iris while Barry lets go of me and she whispers in my ear, 'Now we are sisters because I know that Barry is the one for you."

I just nod my head and hug tighter which she returns. After we pull apart I see my brothers, Eddie and Oliver all clap Barry on the back saying congrats on the new relationship. Felicity pulls me into a hug and whispers, "I told you so."

I laugh out loud which causes Iris to embrace us both. We all head in different directions with me and Barry going into the class to see our math teacher looking at us with a frown. "Sorry for not showing up to class. Something came up but here is the homework from last week." Barry says to him in a rush.

"Well, you two are the best students that I do have. I will forgive it this time." The teacher says to us.

We both smile and head out to our next class as the bell rings again and sit next to each other like we always do. As our instructor speaks about the material Barry send me a note.

Cait, I know you want to meet after school so I was wondering if we could go get something to eat so that we can talk about the class that you are having trouble in. I am always hungry right after class so Big Belly Burger sound good to you?

Barry

Yes, it does sound good. I love Big Belly Burger!

Cait xoxo

I write back to him and he smiles because of the xo's that I put in. We turn back to the instructor who is still going on about the short story. School goes by so fast that I feel like skipping last period which is cheer practice. I only join because of Iris and Felicity who convince me to join. What we did not expect was for me to be good at it. As final period comes and the bell rings, I give a kiss to Barry and he heads off to track with Cisco who is just going to watch. Dante comes up behind me and gives me a side hug and says, "I heard the great news about you and Barry. I am so happy for you because now you have someone that truly loves you and someone you truly love. Now let's go so that you can cheer me on."

I nod my head and grab my brother's hand while we go out into the field, but what I did not expect to see was Ronnie getting into a fight with Barry. All I see is Barry punching Ronnie who gets a busted lip and Barry with a black eye forming. I run to get in between but Dante stops me and runs to get Ronnie off of Barry. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?" I find myself yelling at them.

They both look down then Ronnie says," What the hell is wrong with you kissing this douche when you are with me?"

I look at him in disbelieve and say, "Are you crazy? We broke up and thank god because you are insane Ronnie. I love Barry! I loved Barry while I was with you and I am so for that but I am not sorry for being with him."

If looks could kill I would have been dead because the look Ronnie was giving me could kill all of us. Then he says something that will forever change my life in the next few months.
