Chapter 2 - Secrets
That night BB lay in his bed thinking about Claudine and the kiss they had shared. He could still feel her lips on his. He could still feel her hand clutching his. He could still see her eyes gazing into his. Staring at his ceiling he sighed thinking that Claudine didn't feel the same way. He was wrong. Over at Mrs Troy's house Claudine lay awake in her bed thinking about BB and the kiss they had shared. She could still feel his lips on hers. She could still feel his hand clutching hers. She could still see his eyes gazing into hers. Staring at her ceiling she sighed thinking that BB didn't feel the same way. The thoughts, however, where interrupted by a beep from her phone. "1 new message received" read the screen. She opened the message and read the following "Hey Claudine. We need 2 talk… about us… Txt back BB x" Claudine hurriedly texted back, "Ur rite. Meet me outside BH in 30 Claudine xx".

BB shivered in the cold December air as he waited impatiently waited for Claudine. Looking out into the night he finally spotted her walking daintily in her pink heels and smiled. He ran up to her and flung his arms around her.
"Ahhhh! Help! Help!" Claudine shrieked wrestling BB of her.
"Shhhh! Claudine! It's just me! It's BB!" he said hopping no one had heard her screaming.
"Sorry BB!" She said smoothing her hair down and fixing her top.
"Come sit. We need to talk." BB said taking her hand and sitting down on the steps outside Britannia High. "That kiss… on the sofa… I well I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I think well I think I love you Claudine…" he trailed of going beetroot red and looking at the floor.
"Think? I know I love you BB" Claudine replied smiling and putting her arm around BB. He smiled and lifted his head.
"Then it's settled" BB said. He took Claudine's head in his hands and kissed her. As he pulled away Claudine resisted and the two were suddenly locked in a passionate kiss.

"Morning Lauren," Claudine said in a sweet voice.
"What do you want Claudine?" she said buttering a piece of toast and giving Claudine a weird look.
"Nothing. I'm just… in a good mood." she said as BB came down the stairs.
"Hey Lauren" he said in a cheery voice making her jump.
"What are you doing here? Wait a minute… did you two…do it?" she said, a look of disbelief in her eyes
"Yes but you can not tell any one!" Claudine said while BB nodded vigorously.
"Fine, alright! I can keep a secret" Lauren said raising one eyebrow and finishing the last bit of her toast as she headed up stairs.
"Look, about last night… can we kinda…" BB started
"Keep it a secret? Yeah good idea. See ya later" Claudine replied. She gave BB a kiss on the check and headed up stairs herself. BB smiled his eyes following Claudine as she went up to her bedroom. His grin widening he went out the front door breathing in the cold air and from that moment everything seemed… better.
