Update# 6

Yo, sup my peeps? Lol. Here is the next chapter, as promised! And while I am about to go eat dinner, after thriving, and starving myself to get this chapter written before seven o'clock, I would just like to give myself a pat on the back! Now I know I said that I'd make it up to you with another long chapter, but, let's be honest... this chapter isn't that long! Again! LOL. But I CAN at least say that it is longer than the other! Well, maybe I'll make it up to you in chater 7! Hints that Maybe. Sorry guys! I suck, I know! Sorry! K, see all of you later, enjoy ;).

Together Forever

Chapter 6

Her screeching was busting my ear drums, and piercing all the way through them. Trying to get her attention back to me, so that she would see how much it was…kind of…embarrassing me, I was anxious. "Stop it, stop it! Please!" I laughed, after accepting the fact that everyone was going to stare at us, either way.

"So, he, like really kissed you? Oh my gosh!" Sarah blurted out.

Taking a few steps away from her, I threw my head down, and bounced it back up after I had regained my ability to speak. "Yes! We really kissed, now, will you please settle down? People are starting to stare!"

Snickering, she backed off some, but still held her assertiveness, "Let them stare! They need to hear this! Yesterday you were just an average student in the hall, but today…you are just an average student in the hall, but you are one that got kissed!" She seems more excited about it, than I was! It isn't that big of a deal, it was just a simple kiss. It doesn't mean that I am getting engaged or anything! …Not that I wouldn't say 'yes', but… he kissed me! "So, how was it? Is he a good kisser? Too much lip? Just enough? Was there any tongue?" she baffled, on and on. Augh, that is disgusting! Where does she get these kinds of ideas?

Adjusting the books in my hand, I critiqued her assumption, "Ew, no, it was…just a kiss on the cheek, that's it."

Pausing, she stopped in the middle of the hall. "And your point…is?" Asking this, made me flip out, as we then started walking again. "Let me tell you something honey, it may seem like it was just a little innocent kiss on the cheek to you, but to him…hmm, hell no! It was the first step, in the right direction, let me tell you now!" What she was suggesting this to, was a little out there, but I guess that I can keep the warning in mind. She is all out there today, isn't she? Talk about a girl that isn't afraid to say, or do whatever she wants! But, I still don't think that Boomer is like that, it really was just a modest kiss on the cheek…not like I wouldn't want it to be more than just a modest kiss on the cheek. We could be in love, I won't protest!

"All I am saying is that…it was one of the best things that happened to me in my life!"

"And all I am saying is that, watch your step, and don't forget to drag in some juicy gossip to keep me entertained!" she joked, then nudging me so I would better prepare myself, as we were walking into history together. "Okay, breath check," she leaned in towards my mouth, and sniffed, causing me to jump back out of shock. "Mmm, minty. What kind of toothpaste do you use?" She is officially bazaar, as if she wasn't strange enough before. I don't know what kind I use, I just pick out the first one that I see at the store! It was something that I probably should give more concern to, but that was the truth.

Giving Boomer more credit than she was, I was frank about it, "Look, I already told you, he likes me, for me! Not for how good I look, or what brand of clothing I wear, or even, and this might be surprising to you, what my breath smells like! He likes me to be Bubbles, and that is it!" At this, she shrugged and accepted that fact, going into class before the bell rang. Once I was out of her sight, I leaned over, and blew into my hand. "Hmm, it does smell minty!" I giggled, straightening my designer blouse. Going in the room with full confidence, my posture was, if I may say so myself, magnificent! My hair was bouncy, and my outfit was adorable! However, as I looked towards my chair, I noticed that Boomer wasn't in his.

My eyes widened, while Sarah shared my disappointment. What? I don't understand. Where is he? He seemed perfectly fine last night? He couldn't have caught a cold, or a bug, or something! Is he skipping school because of me? I wondered, taking my seat as Mr. Downery closed the door. You mean I got all dressed up, for nothing? I got excited for nothing? What if I never see him again? What if he transferred? And it was all because of me? "Alright'y students, I hope that you brought your thinking caps with you today, because there isn't a moment to loose. Jumping right into the school year, I am pleased to inform you that, yes, your first test will be coming up this Friday, so I hope that you have all been studying!" he announced, making all of the other kids sigh. Is this really all my fault? Did I make him that miserable? Am I that unlovable? Oh no, I am never going to be happy again!

"So, can I please have your eyes on the bored, so we can start today's lesso-" he was cut off by the slamming of the door, and peered over to see who was interrupting his class. This is it! This is the end! The end of the world, the end of time, and the end of me! What am I supposed to do now? "Mr. Jojo, I have already told you once, I will not excuse tardiness again. Take your seat, and when the bell rings, you are going to be staying with me, after class." Goodbye sweet world, good by sweet time, goodbye happine- I stopped in the middle of my thoughts, just now seeing that Boomer had come in. Oh yay! He is here, he made it! Thank you, oh thank you.

Smiling at him as he came to sit down, I didn't get why he didn't smile back. Err, he looks upset…wonder what's wrong? As the teacher spoke, going on to the next chapter of the history book, I turned around to face Boomer. "Hey, so I am going to save you a spot at lunch! I can see that you are really down, and I think that we need to talk about it!" I strongly recommended, but before he could explain to me why he couldn't let me do that, I had already turned back towards the board so that I could copy down everything that Mr. Downery had written.

Great! Now everything is going just as I planned it would. I have an excuse to get to sit with him at lunch, and we get to talk about things that most people would over look! Our relationship is going to just keep growing, and growing until we are the best couple in the world! We'll never fight, we'll share our deepest thoughts, and we'll get along great! The only thing that is standing in between me, and him is…him. So, the big question is, how do I get Boomer to ask me out on a date? Let's thinks… there are at least a hundred possibilities so I should be able to come up with at least twenty! I just need something to write them down on! …This will work! I used the paper that I was supposed to be using to take notes on, but never got around to it.

One, I could…ask him to ask me out…nah.

Two, that is really still one, I could…threaten him to take me out, or else I will…

Three, that is still really one, I could put so much pressure on him, by reminding him constantly how much we belong together, that he has to ask me ou- no, that will led to humiliation.

Four, that is still really one, I could persuade him with ravishing gifts from only the fin-cheapest stores I can find…nope.

…Twenty, that is till really, and only one, I could…ah, I got nothing, I slumped down in my chair, scanning over all of the things that I wrote down, that I knew I couldn't use.

Taking up the entire third period just to get absolutely nowhere, I had missed all of the studies, and was utterly clueless on what he was saying. "For your homework, I want you to fill out these worksheets with your best guesses, and turn them in for me to read tomorrow so I can see just how well you paid attention to our lessons today. You are all excused," he said, allowing us to leave and go to lunch as the bell rang. Collecting my things, I was going to wait for Boomer to get his stuff too so that we could walk together, but Sarah, for some reason, thought that it would be funny to leave him behind and go ahead without him, acting like it wasn't that big of a deal. Like he wouldn't mind!

While I was forcing her to slow down, she was persistent to hurry and get her lunch from the locker like she was starving or something. Dragging me through the crowd, when she finally let go of me, so I could go at my own pace, I found that she had already driven me all the way to our lockers! "What is your problem? We should slow down and wait for Boomer, what is your big rush?"

"Me? Why are you going so slow? You can wait for Boomer all you want, but he is going to be in that classroom for another good while! Let's just get to the cafeteria, and wait there! I am not going to miss my lunch because he decided to show up ten minutes late!" she shouted.

Lost, I was very confused. "Wait, what are you talking about? He is right behind us! He'll be here any minute!" I argued, but she was too busy, shoving past everyone, making up for lost time. Angry, I planted my feet to where I was standing, and waited for him like a good friend would. I swear, he is going to walk past me any moment, and thank me for waiting for him, unlike some people! Watching as everyone walked by, I kept a sharp eye on them to be sure he didn't slip past me. Okay, he was wearing a navy blue shirt, and blue jeans, he can't possibly accidently get away from me now! Knowing these things and how he looked were really going to come in handy. I got to use it to my advantage.

However, after a minute went by, and most of the kids were gone but for a few, I figured that I must have lost him in the crowd somehow and he was already sitting down. That's it, he is waiting for me! How horrible of me to keep him waiting! I've got to hurry!

Racing down the halls, I busted into the cafeteria and started my search. Going from table to table, I checked each of everyone's faces, but none of them matched his. Losing confidence, I slouched down next to Sarah, Ronnie and Derek who were chowing down on their favorite meals. Banging my head to the table, they glanced over at me. "Hey, what's wrong with you? Where's your lunch, girly?" Derek wondered aloud, noticing that I didn't bring mine with me. Worried when I didn't answer, barricading myself with my arms around my head, he asked, "Hey…uh, Bubby, you okay?"

"Yes! I am perfectly fine! Now leave me alone in my misery!"

Holding his sandwich, he was about to take a bite. "Well, okay," he seemed like he could care less, but when Ronnie hit him, he dropped the sandwich on the ground. "Hey! I was going to eat that!"

"Aren't you going to show Bubbles any courtesy?"

He mumbled, "I am going to remember this! …So… uh… are you sure that you are… okay… and everything, because you look pretty down in the dumps to me?" he asked again.

Lifting my head up, I went into rage. "No! First Blossom wouldn't give me any brownies, after I ask her, like, a million times and said please and everything! Then I wake up and am freezing half to death! I try to warm myself with a hot shower, but it got too hot and I was burned and my skin was ugly and red, and then I had to go to my first period looking like a red hot chili pepper and then I met Boomer! He was great, but then I was stupid around him, and got knocked into him, but he kissed me on the cheek, and I thought everything was perfect, but it wasn't! I thought that he wasn't coming into class, but then he did, and that is great and everything, but now he isn't here with me at lunch after he promised he would!"

"Ohh, so that is why your skin was so red that day! I thought you got sunburned over the summer," Derek assumed, picking the hairs off his sandwich. Glaring at him, Ronnie knocked it out of his grip again, and it fell to the floor. "Are you kidding me? Dammit, you son of a bi-"

Sarah pointed out, "Uh, the only reason Boomer isn't here with you right now is because he was late, and Mr. Downery kept him after class. He still likes you just as much as he did before, I'm sure."

With an intrigued glower, I blinked. "What are you talking abou-Boomer!" I cheered, waving at him so he would see where I was. Spotting me, he smirked oddly, but I disregarded it, and let him take the stool that was by mine. "I'm so glad that you finally made it, I was beginning to…um… you know I wasn't worried or anything, I was just…very-no I was just somewhat… concerned that you had… Boomer, these are my friends, Sarah, Ronnie, and Derek. Guys, this is…Boomer," I pushed a lock of hair behind my ear.

Sarah, with a mouth full of food, shut it tightly and just waved. Staring at her, Ronnie then held a chuckle and greeted him, "Hey, nice to finally…meet you there stranger." Holding out his hand, Boomer reached over to shake it, as well as Derek's.

"Sup? Yeah, great to meet you too, man- uh, say, um… Bubbles, what's this talk of me 'finally making it'? Did you not hear a word… Mr. Downery said?" he questioned, and I was honest. I had been too worried that he wasn't going to show up, to see that he actually had. Well, I guess that Sarah was telling the truth after all. Oops, maybe I should apologize for that after school… how was I supposed to know? It wasn't like it was just said right in my f- okay, it was, and there is no excuse… but that doesn't mean I can't pretend there is! …It doesn't mean that, does it? Hmm… "So, where's your lunch?"

Glancing around, I didn't have an answer. I am just going to have to starve. Oh well. "Uhh, I forgot mine in my locker, but, it's okay…I'll just eat dinner early tonight, I guess."

Confessing this, he seemed to feel bad for me. Scooting over his tray, that he had hardly touched, he expressed, "Here. I normally don't come in to the cafeteria to eat, I normally just pick up something on the way out of school, so, you can have it. I only came in here for you, anyhow." Putting it in front of me, I gasped, as if he was handing me the key to the universe. This is the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me! He's so thoughtful, I just wanna hug him!

Moving around the food, till I found a good bite that I wanted, I stabbed it with the fork, and chewed. Picking up the sandwich, I nibbled on it as well. Num, num, num. However, after a second, I realized that I was smacking a little and tried to control it but because of the texture of the bread it was hard. It was stuck at the top of my gum! Boomer was grinning at me, so I blushed. "It's really s-sticky," I blurted out, not like that was any sort of excuse for my smack, smack. He didn't seem to care, really, but it just wasn't something that I wanted him to see me as! Bubbles, the girls that smacks whenever she eats! I don't smack all the time, just some of the time! I can control it… some of the time…

"So… I was just wondering, you don't have to do it or anything, it isn't like I am trying to put any unneeded pressure on you… but if you want to come that'd be great… but if you don't, that is fine too… so, you wanna go out with me this Friday night? There's a new restaurant that opened up in down town and I thought, hey, maybe Bubbles wants to go," his voice was soft, but in a gentle way.

Wait! So my plans worked? Not that I really used any of them, but he is asking me out? Oh yes, of course I will go out with you my darling, of course I will! Although, saying this out loud, and not just staring at him might help. "Oh, um, yes! I-I would love to, that would be… but I'm not sure I can." Rats, my father! What is he going to say about this? Nothing, he probably won't have to say nothing and ruin it some other way! Sorry, dad, but you really do. Plus, not only him, but what about my sisters- well my sister. Buttercup wouldn't care in the least.

Curious, he asked, "What? Other plans?" Shaking my head, meaning 'no', that wasn't it, he reminded. "Hey, you're dad already gave us permission to date. Remember?" This was very true! He's the greatest! But yet, I still believe that something is going to go wrong, one way or another. "So, I'll come and get you at seven then-"

"No! …I-I… I mean, nah. You don't need to do that! I'll just meet you there, no problem! Just me and my own two feet, yep, just us. We'll walk ourselves there, and, yeah, you don't need to pick me up!" Okay, so if he doesn't come to get me, then that means that my father won't have to have another chat with him, and, 'lay down the laws' we already got plenty of that! I'll just fly over there! No one will see me, no one will hear me, so therefore, it isn't a problem! I just need to be more careful with the whole 'super powers' thing. And, Boomer is right, he did give us permission, so it isn't like I am sneaking out to see a boy, it is like I am going out to visit my boyfriend! Perfect! "Yeah, and don't worry, I'll leave early so that… I'll get there on time! No need to worry about me, I am one hundred percent capable of arriving on time, on foot! I can walk faster…than an animal that can walk really fast! That's me! …Hee, hee…"

Widening his expression, he made an effort not to show this feeling, and accepted the fact that I just agreed to go. "Awesome, I guess. Just make sure that you wear something that can get dirty… don't wear that million dollar shirt you have on, anyway…ever," he laughed, unimpressed by how much money I spent to buy this thing. He was sincere, and, I was right he really does just like me for me… guess it is time that I take my own advice. Darn! They don't have a return policy! Now I am stuck with this thing, that might as well be thrown in the trash! Sparking an idea, it hit me, I'd just put it in the back of my closet it and wrap it up for Blossom's birthday! That idea gets two thumbs up.

Throwing whatever food I didn't eat, in the trash, I put the tray back up for the dish washing lady to…wash, and found that Boomer had been waiting for me to finish. Rushing over, I stood beside him. "You know, I would have put that up for you, if you'd had asked. I was the one that went and got it," he confessed, passing through the crowd with me. He's generous too, but he shouldn't have to lift a finger, I was the one that ate it so therefore, I am the one that has to throw it away.

"No, it is fine! You shouldn't have to worry about a thing…like that." When I told him this, he snickered an irresistible laugh that touched my soul. It just melted my soul. Ouh. It was hard to keep up with him, once we were in the center of the cafeteria and the bell rang. We were surrounded by all of these other kids, but I managed to keep up… once he held my hand so no one else could get in between us. No one could break the bond that we shared! We were like two metal chains, wrapped around the other so that no one could steal the other away. We can't be separated, not after this. Not after being together like this. I will always be in love with him, and only him. He's my first, and he is going to be my last! Wedding bells are ringing already!

"Stay in front of me, that way I can see where you are," Boomer grabbed tight of my hand, and swung me around so that I was leading the way. Keeping, extremely close behind me, my heart skipped a beat every time I felt his warm breath on my neck. This is the best day of my life!

The next chapter is going to be about their date, so stick around for that! And no, Bubbles isn't going to be a klutz and trip, causing her to spill her drink all over Boomer! …No, seriously she isn't! Dream date time, it is going to be perfect! Bubbles will over exaggerate, nonetheless, but it is still going to be perfect! Together forever, that is the bond that you and I share no- well, at least until I finish the book, then you can get your sorry butt's outta here! JK! Okay, bye!

-KISSES!-
