A/N: YAY! As of now, no one has told me they hate my story… hopefully it will stay that way. So, here's chapter 2.

"So, you ready for this?" Seth asked as he stared at the entrance to the mall.
"Yup," she smiled as she grabbed his hand and led him in. She had told him that the first step in her plan was to get the word around Newport that they were together. Get people talking about it before Kaitlin would flaunt it in Will's face, so it looked legitimate.
Seth groaned as he walked with her. They were going to do a little shopping and then grab some food.
"What exactly are you expecting me to buy you today?" he asked quietly as they walked through the mall.
"Oh, I don't know, just some… pretty stuff," she grinned.
"Well, I don't plan on spending a bunch of money on pointless stuff. I hope you know that."
She giggled and leaned in to him, "well, I was thinking of diamonds," she said innocently.
"Kaitlin Cooper!" Seth exclaimed, causing everyone in the proximity to look at them, "I love you," he said rather loudly so that all of their watchers would hear.
"Aww, Sethykins, I love you too," she smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist and continued to walk with him. When they stepped into a store, she nearly slapped him, "Well, you so almost ruined the whole fucking plan," she whispered as they looked through the things in the store.
"But I so covered. Actually, I think I moved the plan along even farther," he smiled in mock triumph.
"Yea, I guess you did, Sethykins," she giggled, running off towards a rack of hoodies.
"I really think we need to discuss new nicknames," he said as he grabbed her by the waist and spun her around.
"But, Sethykins, I don't even have a nickname yet," she pouted, "I have to have one before we can just get rid of them. I need to know if I like this nickname first."
"Well, I don't know… umm… Kaity?" he asked.
"Yea, no," she said with a sour face.
"So, new nicknames it is. You can call me Cohen and I'll call you Kait," he smiled.
"You can call me Kait, but I think I'm sticking with Sethykins," she laughed as she ran off again, Seth right behind her.

Later that afternoon Seth hauled the heavy bags up the Cooper stairs. Kaitlin stood behind him, wearing a huge smile.
"Aww, my boyfriend is such a gentleman," she cooed.
"Yea, and my girlfriend is lazy," he said turning to look at her.
"It is most definitely the guy's job to carry the bags up the stairs."
"But, the girl can definitely help when her boyfriend is skinnier than her!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, get off that," she joked as she helped him with the bags.
Once they were in her room, he laid down on her bed, "I'm taking a nap," he sighed.
"Whatever. We do need to discuss our next move, though," she said as she sat beside him on the bed.
"You talk, I'll listen," he sighed, closing his eyes.
"Ok, so tomorrow morning, you will take me to school and you'll kiss me in the parking lot, in front of everyone," she said matter of factly.
"Kaitlin, let me think about that one. NO!" he said sitting up and facing her, "There is no way in hell I'm going to kiss you, ever."
"I think that's a lie," she smiled arrogantly.
"What? I am helping you, not going to jail for statutory," he said rolling his eyes at her, which made her giggle. "No, don't laugh, I'm serious."
"Well, I think I can change your mind," she said touching his nose, "Sethykins."
"Kaitlin, I said no. You can not pull me down on this one. I will not EVER kiss you. I will drive you to school, but no kiss," he sighed.
"Cohen, shut up," she said, rolling her eyes.
"No. I'm not shutting up about this!" he retorted.
"Look, it's not that hard. You have to kiss me, or no one is going to believe we're together," she whined.
"Uh-uh."
"You are being so childish!" she hollered, grabbing his face and kissing him forcefully. Seth pulled back, angrily.
"No, no, no, no, no!" he exclaimed, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "I did NOT just kiss Kaitlin Cooper."
"No shit; I kissed you," she sighed, "See, it wasn't that big of a deal. We can do that in the school parking lot and then you can just leave. No one will probably even realize that it's you," she pleaded.
Seth sat in silence for a moment, contemplating the choices, "You better really like this Will guy, because you're going to be paying me back for the rest of your natural life," he sighed.

A/N: ok, so there's chapter 2, first kiss and all: I hope that wasn't too rushed. I mean, it was definitely a fake kiss. I'm not going to rush their real relationship, though. I can promise that much. So, tell me what you want to see… please!
Oh, and thanks for those people who reviewed and made this chapter worth writing.
