"Brett, can you hold my books for me?" I asked in a whinny voice sarcastically. Brett rolled his eyes at me, walking up and kissing me on the cheek before effortlessly plucking the mound of books off the table. "Whatever babe, let's get going." He smiled a grin at me, opening the door to let me go out. I felt my face flush as I stepped out of the door. Brett started to walk out before yelling back into my house, "Bye Mrs. Quin!"

"Goodbye you two!" my mom yelled back from some other part of the house.

Brett and I walked down the sidewalk as we made our way to school. It was such a wonderful morning, kind of cold, but it was a perfect day to be out walking. I looked over at him as we walked, and it made me smile way too much when he looked back.

"Do you, uh, know what we're doing for class today?" I quickly asked, trying to make conversation out of my flustered mind. Brett laughed a little bit, threw his free arm around my shoulder, and pulled me close against him.

"Oh, shut up you - let's just walk." Brett grinned. I shied away from him but the more I pretended I didn't want him to touch me, the more Brett grabbed my sides and pulled me against his hips. I heard my books slam to the ground as he began to tickle my sides, making me erupt with laughter and almost falling to the ground. We must have looked so silly to the other students passing by, but we didn't care who saw us together. We only cared that we were.

"Stop! Stop! Brett stop it!" I screamed at him, "We're going to be late to class!"

Brett tickled me again before letting me go and saying "sorry", picking up my books, and kissing my forehead. "Heh, alright, let's go." He muttered.

I nodded my head real quick, but right when he began to walk again, I jumped in front of him and kissed him. We stood there for a long while before I pulled away. Brett smirked at me, and I tilted my head to my shoulder into a cute grin.

We finally walked onto campus just a few minutes before the bell was supposed to ring, and the quad was crowded with laid back and stressed-as-hell new kids, trying to figure out where their new classes were. I recognized some people, waved at my friends, and exchanged glances with others that I didn't recognize.

"Hey Sara?" Brett asked, "I'm gonna go off with Tony to our first class alright?"

I smiled at him before giving him a quick kiss. "Yeah sure! I'll see ya later." Brett winked at me and then turned away to walk over to a table where a few guys greeted him by patting his back and yelling his name. After he left, I looked around the campus again to see if I had anyone to hang out with before class. As I looked around, a hand grasped onto my shoulder and Tegan appeared next to me.

"Woah!" I kind of said with a jump. Tegan grinned at me, kicking her backpack up on her back. "Hey Sara!" She exclaimed, "You ready for class?"

"I guess so.."

"Where's Brett? I though you guys were gonna walk to school together?"

I pointed over at the table Brett was, where it looked like one of his friends had just thrown something sticky at him by the way he was reacting. "Yeah, he's over there with his friends now though."

Tegan leaned forward to look at where I was pointing, and nodded her head, exaggerating her movements.

"Okay I see. Whelp, wanna walk me to class love bird?"

I was still starring over at Brett when Tegan said that, so she snapped her fingers in front of my face, making my shoulders twitch up.

"Oh, oh sorry what?" I asked, stuttering a little bit.

"Exactly." Tegan chuckled, "Let's go."

Tegan started walking towards the school and I followed, taking one last look over at Brett and his friends, sighing some at the thought that he didn't even once look over at me. Couldn't blame him I guess, he was with his friends. I tore my eyes away from him and walked with Tegan through the large doors of our school, where hundreds of bustling students walked and ran through the halls, all trying to figure out what exactly to make of this morning.
