DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN SAVED BY THE BELL, OR ANYTHING AFFILIATED WITH IT.

Rrrrrrrinnnggg… The bell rang loudly as students bustled to class quickly.

Zack chuckled.

"What's so funny, Zack?" asked Jessie, with a smile. The pair had always been the best of friends and even today, she never knew what he could be thinking.

"All these years, I don't think I've ever been on time to class. Why not break that tradition?" Zack smirked

"Whaaat?" Slater let out a fake gasp, with his hand on his forehead, feigning surprise.

The gang laughed and quickly walked into the small square classroom, located conveniently near the lockers.

"Come on children, get into your seats!" yelled Ms.Wentworth, the social studies teacher.

The gang quickly took their customary seats near one another.

"Uggh, we have her again? Remember sophomore year?" stated Lisa in a tone of disgust, pointing her thumb.

"Yeah, I can't wait for class to begin! Remember how great she was?" screeched Screech.

"Yeah, well, better her than Testaverde," muttered Slater.

"Haha yeah, remember 1776...Constitution..60s..Nixon.." Zack continued speaking so fast, slurring his words just at the appropriate 100 mph.

The friends laughed, until Ms. Wentworth pointed an angry glance their way.

"Uh humm.." Ms. Wentworth cleared her throat. "Now if the class will let me continue, we're going to get to work right away!"

"Uhhhh…" moaned the entire class immediately, as if her words had signaled it.

"And only the first day!" moaned Kelly, blowing the bangs off of her face in exasperation. She folded her arms. Even taking care of her siblings would be more fun than being in Wentworth's class again. She folded her arms on her desk and thought about the summer. She had gotten so used to the times at the beach that she detested being set in this regular school routine again! What fun it had been! The gang had spent the entire summer working on the beach together in the mornings and afternoons and then hanging out there in the evenings. As close as they were, the six had grown even closer together! Zack and Kelly had even hit it off more. Twirling a strand of brown hair, Kelly recalled the one day in the middle of the summer when she had been standing near the shore, wearing her cute tank top and matching shorts. Zack had crept up to her and placed a warm towel over her shoulders. It had felt so good during the breezy summer night. Then both Zack and Kelly had sat, Kelly's head against Zack's muscular arm… and that's when Kelly, startled by the sound of a lone seagull, had sat up quickly. Zack had turned his head towards her and what ensued was only too perfect. The kiss.. Just perfect, and during the most perfect time, in the most perfect place..

"Ms. Kapowski!"

Kelly bolted upright, unaware of what had been taking place. She had been daydreaming for minutes now and now the whole class was laughing at her!

"Y..yes Ms. Wentworth?"

"Try to pay attention, will you?" she snapped her ruler against the desk. "And that goes to all of you! I'm not taking any more of your shananigans this year! We're going to get right to work, learn about all the presidents, the relations of the U.S. to the world…"

"Ugggh.. Could school be any worse?" moaned Kelly in a low voice. She slumped in her seat and turned over to see Jessie sitting as straight as a board, copying Ms. Wentworth's every word.

"So what happened to you in class today?" Zack said as he dumped Kelly's books on the table.

The six were now at The Max, and Screech was just placing his order.

"I'll have some spaghetti!"

"They don't have spaghetti here, doofus!" spat out Lisa, slapping him playfully over the head. She knew Screech would always continue these antics and there was no use in criticizing him further, over it.

"Oh, um.. Nothing. Guess I was just thinking about the summer," Kelly said with a shy smile.

"Yeahhh, the summer was amazing." Slater turned and looked at Jessie. "Saw my mama in a swimsuit!"

"Hey, that's Ms. Mama to you--!" Jessie started, but even she could not stop her face from turning an unusual shade of red.

"Too bad we couldn't bring Johnny!" exclaimed Screech, his voice cracking.

Zack, Kelly, Jessie, and Slater exchanged confused looks.

Lisa slapped Screech's head. "The stupid trained dolphin we met at the beach early in the summer!" The companions laughed, as they recalled what had occurred earlier in the summer.

As they headed out of the door of the Max nearly an hour later, Zack pulled Kelly back.

"Zack, what is it?" Waiting till the last of their friends was out the door, Zack held Kelly's arm gently.

"I had a really great time this summer, you know," he said, staring deeply into Kelly's eyes.

He's so.. Bold! Just comes out and says his feelings. Wish I were like that..

"Yeah, it was great," Kelly mused, her eyes twinkling.

"You think we could, go out again?"

"I'm already out the door and ready.."

Slowly, Kelly and Zack leaned in. Kelly could smell the faint traces of some perfume on him. They leaned in closer. She could see the details of his T-shirt now. And still.. even closer.. The gel that slicked his hair back was still wet.. And how good that smelled too..

Suddenly, Screech stuck his head around the door of The Max and exclaimed, "Guys, we left already! Sheesh!"

Zack and Kelly laughed and followed Screech out the doorway.

Hope you guys liked that! As always, review! It really encourages me to continue. I'm trying to stay in character as much as possible, as well! ) Please let me know if I did a good job with that.
