Chapter 2- Just Friends

The next morning Tecna squinted as she opened up her eyes to the bright sunlight shining in on her face through the window. She slowly sat up and looked around the room, there was no one there. She looked around the rest of the dorm and no one else was there either. It had been that way for a while. They all seemed to get up and just leave without saying goodbye to her anymore. The year before they all used to talk at breakfast, but Tecna was sure they probably weren't at breakfast anymore, and if they were they would almost be done eating. Tecna tried to forget about the winx girls, because she was going to spend that day with Timmy, building their robot.

After she got through her daily morning routine, she left her room with an apple and headed over to Red Fountain. Her stomach hurt a little from nervousness as she sat on the bus going to the school for heroics and bravery. She always got nervous when she went to see Timmy, simply because just looking at him made her stomach do flips. She looked out the window and saw him waiting at the bus stop for her, and she hoped that he got the same feeling when she was around.

"I'm almost done with the transmitter." Tecna said as she concentrated on screwing in some device into the robot. She had spent the past hour in Timmy's room helping him build his robot and was very concentrated on finishing it that day.

"That's great! We are making great time! I thought this would take at least a couple days but it has taken us only an hour to finish half of it!" Timmy exclaimed as he looked up from his computer to see the work Tecna was doing.

"Finished!" Tecna declared only a few moments after Timmy had finished talking. She placed the screw driver down on the desk and pulled up a chair next to Timmy to see what he was doing.

"I'm just programming a few more things for the robot to do before we install the brain into it." Timmy said. He then began to type more things into the programmer as Tecna stared at the screen. Tecna had wished he would just stop going on about his robot just for a minute and talk about something else. Is that all that he ever thought about? Didn't he ever think about other things like girls or the weather, or even his friends? Tecna sighed after thinking about her best friend and how much of a nerd he really was, but that was what she loved about him. The door opened suddenly and Tecna looked up to see who it was. Musa and Riven came stumbling into the room and they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Riven threw his jacket down on the floor as he closed the door with his leg. They both stood their all over each other and neither had noticed that there were others in the room. Tecna thought that was really rude and she loudly cleared her throat, finally getting Riven's attention.

"Oh, I didn't know you were here Timmy." Riven said as he released Musa. He straightened out his shirt and scratched the back of his head.

"What are you doing here Tecna?" Musa asked in a very annoyed tone.

"I'm helping out Timmy with his robot." Tecna replied. She wasn't pleased with Musa's tone.

Timmy had also noticed them and had stopped typing. The room grew very quiet, making it a very awkward moment. Here was two people who were just making out and then another couple who seemed to like each other, but hadn't even kissed yet.

"Would you mind leaving Timmy?" Riven asked after realizing the silence wasn't helping the situation.

"But we're working here." Timmy said. He really wanted to keep on working on the project.

"Please guys?" Musa asked in a pleading tone. She walked over to Tecna and started whispering to her.

"You know how much Riven means to me, he finally opened up a little to me and we are actually making some progress." Musa said.

Tecna was very upset by Musa's request. No, she didn't know how much he meant to her. Musa hadn't talked to her about Riven since the end of the last school year. And why should she be bossed around by Musa? Just because she was making out with Riven didn't give her the right to barge into the room that was half Timmy's, and kick them out. But Tecna couldn't say no, she never did to her friends. She always let them get what they wanted no matter how it affected her.

"Lets go Timmy." Tecna said as she picked up her stuff. As she walked past Musa she gave her the dirtiest look she could have given anyone and walked out of the room. Timmy quickly grabbed some of his stuff that they needed and left the room.

"Woah, I've never seen her like that before." Musa said after Timmy had left the room.

"Who cares, lets just get back to where we left off." Riven said as he started kissing Musa again.

Out in the grass Tecna and Timmy had sat down and Timmy was back to typing up programs on his lap top. Tecna just stared into the sky. There wasn't much for her to do anymore since the robot was still in Timmy's dorm room, and it was practically finished. Tecna decided that she wanted to try and just get a little further in her relationship with Timmy. They were friends, and she really believed that he liked her more than a friend, the same way she liked him a lot more than a friend. Tecna tapped Timmy's shoulder trying to get his attention away from his computer screen.

"What?" Timmy said without looking up at her.

"Can we talk?" Tecna asked.

"Um, sure." Timmy said hesitantly as he saved his program notes and closed his lap top. He put it back in his bag and looked at Tecna.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Timmy asked her.

"Well, I was just um.. well… this isn't really easy to say… but.. um… do you…..like me?" Tecna asked nervously.

"Of course I like you Tecna! You're my best friend!" Timmy told her.

"Yeah but, do you like like me?" Tecna asked him.

"What do you mean by like like?" Timmy asked. He was really confused by Tecna's question. What did she mean by like like her?

"I mean like this." Tecna asked as she leaned into Timmy's face for a kiss. She placed her lips on his and she started to kiss him lightly, but he wasn't doing anything. He sat there almost frozen. Tecna quickly pulled away and looked at him.

"Why did you do that for?" Timmy said as he wiped his lips, which gave Tecna a signal of rejection.

"I… I thought that you liked me more than as a friend. I mean all of our other friends think it too." Tecna said. She was really confused at what was happening. She was so sure that Timmy liked her and would return a kiss, but she had just made a total fool of herself.

"Well I don't! What would give you that idea? I like you as a friend. I'm not attracted to you in any way!" Timmy said as he stood up. He crossed his arms and he was angry. He did have feelings for Tecna, but he had tried really hard to hide them because he didn't want to show her how inexperienced he was in the girlfriend department. He had never kissed anyone before and he had no clue how a boyfriend was supposed to act.

"Well I don't know, all the signals I picked up on told me that you felt something for me! But I guess I must have miscalculated and I'm just that terrible you don't like me at all in a physical way or any other way probably. Well guess what. I'm not helping you with your Robot anymore! See how far you get all by yourself. Good bye Timothy!" Tecna said as she picked up her bag and stomped away to the bus stop. She had never been so embarrassed in her life before, and she felt like a stupid fool, which was also a first for her. She climbed onto the bus and tried as hard as she could to not look back at Timmy's face. She really wanted to, but doing that would just show she was weak and she definitely could not do that after how she had just acted. Timmy stood in shock at Tecna storming off. He had thought that everything was good, he really didn't think that Tecna liked him in a physical way at all. Now he knew how wrong he was, but how would he ever fix what had just happened? Timmy sighed and picked up his lap top again. He knew Riven probably wouldn't be done in their room yet and there was nothing else for him to do so he picked back up his lap top and started to type in more programs. Now he would have to finish the robot without any of Tecna's assistance. It was going to be hard.

Okay so I know Musa and Riven weren't technically this far in the real show, but I always thought that they should have been a lot closer during the second year so I had to add in that scene, and also I put that in to add more to Tecna's frustrations with the winx girls. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter of the story! The next one she finally gets some courage and stands up to the winx girls, so you can look forward to that!
