Chapter 6 (the real one)

Authors note: So guys, after all your kind and sweet words about wanting me to continue, I decided that I couldn't let this fic go. You're right, why should I let someone get to me and ruin my hard work? If she (you all know who she is) wants to steal my fic and add Nikki and Kacey romance into it, so be it, she's obviously not original enough to write her own material. Also, this is a Waterloo Road fic because Kacey's in it and there will be more mentions of people back home, she's in America for crying out loud! There are obviously going to be made up characters, don't be stupid now. One last thing, if you don't like my fic, or the fact I refused to add Nikki in for romance, then don't read it. Simple. To my real fans, thank you and I hope you enjoy this update :)


"Chloé, over here!" Elizabeth called from her group of girls.

"Coming!" Chloé called. "Just half a day left." Chloé muttered to her friends, before making her way over to the other side of the gym.

"I feel really bad for her, Can't we just tell Elizabeth that Chloé actually hates her?" Kacey asked her friends.

"No, she only has to last until lunchtime." Emma replied.

"Girls, and boys, gather around please." Coach Matthews instructed. "So, good news, the leak in the boys camp has been fixed!" Coach Matthews exclaimed. The girls and some of the boys, cheered. However Charlie continued to speak. "But, because the guy who was meant to fix it came so late, the gym is all damp and unhygienic. It'll be roughly around another two to three weeks until the boys will go back." A series of sighs and groans filled the gym, Ryan looked at Kacey and smirked at her. Kacey lost it.

"You've got to be kidding, you're taking the piss right?! Another two to three weeks of hell, great." Kacey spat at Coach Matthews who just laughed it off.

"Come on Kace, you've already survived this long." Charlie answered.

"You know, most girls here signed up for a girls camp. Do you think our parents would be pleased? Surely we should get our money back." Kacey argued.

"You think you're the only one who's pissed off? We payed for a boys camp." One of the boys spoke, he was Australian.

"Guys, don't turn on each other, you know what? I think you guys need bonding time, boys and girls, pair up." Ordered Coach Matthews.

"Well done Kace." Emma said sarcastically.

"Oh shut up Emma." Kacey spat angrily, shocking Becky, Maddie and Emma. Ryan walked over to Kacey and the others.

"Ryan, do you wanna be my partner?" Elizabeth asked, walking over to him, glaring at Kacey.

"Sorry, Kacey's my partner." Ryan slung his arm loosely around Kacey's shoulders.

"Um, Kacey hasn't agreed to being Ryan's partner." Kacey replied, pushing his arm of.

"Kacey doesn't have a choice." Ryan smirked at Kacey before whisking her off, leaving Elizabeth feeling defeated.


"So, what do you wanna do?" Ryan asked, flashing his teeth at Kacey.

"Why did you wanna be my partner?" Kacey asked, genuinely interested.

"Dunno, I just did." Ryan shrugged.

"Cheers." Kacey muttered.

"Hey, would you have rathered me go with Elizabeth?"

"No." Kacey replied quietly.

"Good, cos she does my head in." Ryan admitted. Kacey couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Okay, seriously, what should we do?" Kacey asked.

"Well, we have until lunchtime to get to know each other, let's explore Miami while we can." Ryan suggested.

"I'm not in the mood." Kacey huffed. She sat down on a nearby bench.

"What's wrong?" Ryan reluctantly sat down next to her.

"This just sucks. Miss Boston would be so disappointed in me right now."

"Who's Miss Boston?" Ryan questioned.

"She's a teacher at my school, she was the one who got me into boxing. She worked so hard to organise to get me here, so I feel like I owe it to her to learn as much as I can. She's probably thinking that I'm working really hard when in reality I feel like I'm in some chick flick."

"Well, I bet Miss Boston would be proud of you either way. It's not your fault about all the problems that have occurred. And really, chic flick?!" Ryan raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah, this just feels like a film."

"Film? What the heck is a film? In America, we say movies." Ryan pointed out, though he was joking about the film part.

"Yeah well I'm not from flaming America am I?!" Kacey retorted. Danny laughed, causing Kacey to smile to herself.

"Oh, you do make me laugh Kacey." Ryan commented.

"Well, that's what I wake up everyday to do!" Kacey joked and the pair began to laugh, suddenly enjoying each others company.

"So, are you an only child?" Ryan asked.

"No, actually, there's three of us. There's Barry, he's the oldest, then Dynasty who's the second oldest and then there's me." Kacey explained.

"Aww, you're the baby." Ryan cooed and Kacey glared at him.

"Be quiet."

"What about your Mum and Dad?"

"What about them?" Kacey giggled.

"They together or what?" Ryan asked.

"Nah," Kacey answered. "My Dad's in prison, I live with my Mum."

"Oh," Ryan didn't know what to say. "Was he like...bad?"

"No he wasn't a bad person. Mum and Dad were helplessly in love, I was a proper daddy's girl, same with Dyn, and Barry looked up to my Dad a lot too."

"So what happened?"

"Times got hard, affording things was a struggle, Dad got nicked for armed robbery."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ryan said gently.

"It's alright. Now enough about me and more about you. Are you an only child?"

"No, there's four of us. There's Justin, he's the oldest. Then me, the cutest," Kacey rolled her eyes at this comment. "Then my two sisters, Katy and then Peyton."

"Cool, and are your parents together?"

"Yep, my Dad hasn't got done for armed robbery just yet." Ryan teased.

"That was funny but I think I should still hit you for it." Kacey raised her eyebrow.

"Go ahead." Ryan smirked.

"Better not, I don't want to get arrested for assault." Kacey replied. Ryan found himself laughing again.

"You're funny."

"You've told me that before." Kacey stated.

"Well I've just told you again princess." Ryan replied.

"Let's walk and talk." Kacey got up off the bench and Ryan did too.

"Okay." Ryan smiled. The duo walked along the ocean front.

"It's beautiful here." Kacey said, admiring the picturesque view.

"I know you are...oh wait, you were talking about the ocean. Sorry." Ryan joked and Kacey rolled her eyes, hitting him playfully on the chest.

"Seriously though Ryan, why did you want to be my partner?" Kacey asked seriously.

"I dunno, you just, fascinate me." Ryan admitted.

"I...I what?" Kacey asked, not believing him.

"I'm not trying to sound creepy, you just interest me. From the moment I saw you on that run, something just pulled me towards you." Ryan replied.

"Me? Interest you? Please. People like me shouldn't be interesting to people like you. I mean, look at me." Kacey half laughed at herself.

"I'm sure as hell looking." Ryan spoke, looking directly at Kacey.

"Boys never bat an eyelid at me." Kacey admitted.

"Bat an eyelid? Kacey, if I was to bat an eyelid, that would be a millisecond of my life wasted not staring at you. Now that's why boys don't bat an eyelid." Ryan moved Closer to Kacey.

"That's not what I meant by bat an eyelid." Kacey whispered, their faces were now centimetres apart and Kacey could feel Ryan's warm breath against her skin. Ryan pressed his lips tenderly onto Kacey's, making sure it wasn't too abrupt so that she didn't run off again. Kacey pulled away slowly. She turned the other way.

"Ryan, I can't do this." Kacey breathed.

"Why not?" Ryan asked gently.

"Because I can't!" Kacey shouted, turning back around to face him.

"Why Kacey?!" Ryan asked, losing his patience.

"Because of Elizabeth." Was the best excuse Kacey could come up with.

"What's she got to do with anything?" Ryan asked, confused.

"Because she obviously likes you, and she already hates me so I don't want to make her dislike me more." Kacey replied.

"Can I say something?" Ryan asked after a while.

"Sure." Kacey sighed.

"To hell with Elizabeth, and just kiss me!" Ryan half laughed. Kacey walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him like there was no tomorrow. Both of them relishing the moment.
