The weeks had gone by………

Conner still had confusion with his feelings; Ethan now has a girlfriend, so does Trent, Dustin is still on the move with tori. tori hangs out with Dustin once in a while ,she met Conner ,Ethan and Trent. She also hanged out with other students whom had the same interest as she does.

At cyberspace.

Conner and Dustin felt miserable while looking at Trent and Ethan with their girlfriends at another table.

"dude." Dustin said

"yeah." Conner answered.

"We suck."

"Ditto"

"When are you going to ask tori out?" Conner asked.

"I don't know; it's kinda hard." Dustin answered.

As Dustin felt more miserable about his life, someone came into the doors of cyberspace which made Dustin had a huge smile on his face. tori was wearing a blue spaghetti strap sando, which was showing her belly button, and a blue micro short. Her hair was soaking wet and was dripping on the floor of cyber space.

"Oh, man" he said.

"Dude, surfer chick at 3 o'clock." Conner added. As Dustin stared at tori's figure, he was close to drooling when Conner tapped his shoulder

"Go say hi" Conner said.

"What?" Dustin reacted.

Conner shoved Dustin off his seat and pushed him to tori's side, Dustin felt like he could faint in pressure. Not even one letter is coming out of his whispered something to him and he left Dustin side.

"Just relax, this is tori, this isn't the first time you had a conversation with her. you can do this Dustin." Dustin said to himself.

"Hi" he greeted.

"Hey" she greeted back.

"You've been surfing?" He asked.

"Yeah, just to cool myself down." She answered.

"Anyway, what brings you here?" He asked again.

"Just meeting up with someone." She answered again.

"Someone" Dustin repeated.

Tori turned to face Dustin and saw his expression."Yeah, with someone." She also repeated. With a smile on her face.

Dustin was in full shock when he heard that "someone" word, he felt he was gonna collapse in disappointment. He couldn't speak nor even move.

"Hey you ok." Tori asked.

"Huh, yeah, of course I Am." he said.

"Anyway would you like to join me and Conner at our table? While you wait for that someone." Dustin offered her.

"Sure," she accepted.

"Cool, meet at our table then." Dustin told her, and then stormed away.

At their table….

Conner was sitting their miserably think of his life that sucks. "my friends all have gotten their girls, I'm the only one still without a girl to be with." he thought to himself. He glanced around and saw Ethan with his girlfriend and their hands were entwined with one another. Trent's girlfriend was resting her head on his shoulder, and their hands were entwined with one another. While Dustin was over there making his move on tori.

He felt really jealous with his friends; he wished that one day he could be like that, with a special someone. Then a vision of kira came to his mind, he was lost in a trance again, he had a vision of her at class, at cheering practices. At the hallways and even that dream he had. He lost his vision, when Dustin tapped him on the shoulder.

"tori's gonna join us." he said then pouted when he sat down. Conner slightly smiled t see Dustin acting that way.

"What's gotten into you?" Conner asked. "I thought you're happy that she's here. What gives." He added.

"I am dude; it's just that "someone" is going to be here." Dustin answered.

"Someone?" Conner repeated. With a smile on his face.

"Yeah, I'm in a state of panic," Dustin said.

Conner was going to say something when tori came over and interrupted their conversation.

"Hey can I join you." Tori said.

"Sure, you can seat here." Conner said. Conner grabbed another chair and he allowed her to sit next to Dustin.

"So what you been up to." Conner asked tori.

"Nothing much." She answered.

"So far, how do you like reefside." He added.

"I'm starting to like it here." Tori said.

The two had long conversation till Dustin interrupted. Dustin had that question in his mind throughout their conversation

"Who are you waiting for anyway?" Dustin curiously asked.

Tori had a small smile on her lips when Dustin asked that question. "Why? What's it to you any way.

"Just asking." Dustin said. Then he was slowly turning around to avoid her .

"My cousin." She added.

Dustin turned to face her again. With a smile on his face. "Really" he said.

"Yeah, I wonder where she is anyway," she said while glancing around cyberspace

Till she spotted a girl wearing a black sando overlapping a yellow shirt.and she was wearing a micro maong skirt with high cut boots.

"There she is." tori pointed out. "couz over here." She shouted. "Kira I'm here." She shouted again.

Tori's cousin turned around to see her with Dustin and Conner. When Conner heard the name kira he quickly lifted his head, when he saw her walking directly to them he felt like his heart was gonna explode. Dustin saw Conner's face turning red when he saw kira walking directly to their table. Dustin has a small grin on his face that made him think that Conner has been hit by cupid. Dustin then quickly grabbed a chair, and placed it next to Conner.

"Hey." Kira greeted them.

"Where have you been?" Tori then said.

"Sorry, practice was hell." Kira said back.

"You can sit here." Dustin pointed out the chair he placed next to Conner.

"Thanks."

"Oh, hey Conner," kira greeted him.

"Hey, "Conner greeted back.

The four was having an amazing conversation. They talked about school and life, their hobbies,experiences..etc. Dustin noticed that Conner was enjoying this time with kira so he asked tori's help on a little plan of his.

"oh,shoot I left something at the beach." Tori suddenly shot up.

"I'll just go get It." she added. She then Dustin's arm and pulled him off his seat.

"I'll meet you at home ok." she said and then stormed away with Dustin.

They suddenly vanished before their eyes. And they looked at each other.

"What was that about?" Conner asked in confusion.

"Yeah, that was weird." Kira answered. They looked at each other again and started to laugh.

Conner and kira continued their conversation till they realized it was getting dark. Both felt really happy with their time together,they had a smile that no one could measure within miles .

"It's getting dark." He said.

"Yeah, I should probably get going." She said. Kira left the table when she said good bye to Conner, and was walking towards the door when Conner ran up to her and asked her

"Can I walk you home?"

"Sure."

Conner smiled with her answer, and they left cyberspace. they continued their conversation. Kira asked him if they could go to the park before thy head home.

At the park….

They were walking in the park .just enjoying each others company.

"Can I ask you question?"

"Sure"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"why?"

"Why do you want to know." he said curiously.

"I just want to know."

Conner took her hand and led her to a secret entrance in the park, it was dark so she got a little scared and then the moon shone over it brightly, and in the center of that place there lies a hut and a swing near it.

"Wow" was all she could say

"I made a promise to a girl a met here when I was five."

"Really"

"Yeah, we made a promise that if we are already ten we will meet here again, with the bracelets we made."

"Did you see ever see her."

"No"

"Would you like to meet her any way?"

"Not really." Then he laughed.

"I've already moved on you know." he added.

"That's good to hear, there are more out there for you Conner," she said.

"It's already late, come on let's take the short cut."

Conner locked the secret way and they continued their way to kira's house. They laughed along the way, talking about their most embarrassing moments in life. They talked about their secrets in life the school never ever knew about them. Kira told Conner that she is not only involved in cheering, she enjoys music too and she has a guitar at home and she writes her own songs, and makes he own music. Conner told kira that he is involved in a sport, soccer mainly, and he too is also into music. They talked about more things till they realized that they finally arrived at kira's house. He accompanied her to their porch

And both were standing now in font of the door.

"Were here." She said.

"I guess I'll see you at school" he said

"Yeah, see tomorrow." he turned around to head off. He wished that time would stop right now.

Kira stood there watching him leave; she didn't know what she was doing but her putting her heart on the line.

"Conner, wait "she went to his side even before he could step on the last step. Conner turned around and that was to his shock their lips met. His eyes widened but he was overwhelmed. Their lips parted. And they looked at each other with a smile. Kira went back to open the door, while Conner still stood their like an ice. Kira then went inside and slowly closed the door and said he good bye to Conner. Conner finally regained his thoughts and just realized that he and kira kissed, for the first time in his life he felt like he was in heaven.

KIRA'S POV

She started to get dress to go to bed. Still with that kiss in her mind, as she lay there on her bed She slowly traced her lips with her index finger. There she still had a smile on her face.

CONNER'S POV

He went home also still thinking about that kiss. he also traced his lips his index finger, then lay in bed still thinking about his wonderful day with kira.
