Howard watched as Randy cheerily dug out his books from his locker.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" Howard asked him.

Randy shrugged. "Why shouldn't I be?"

Howard frowned. "Uh, I don't know."

Randy rolled his eyes. "Well, it just so happens to be that Theresa forgave me yesterday."

"Great for you" Howard said with false cheer, but Randy didn't notice. "But is that all?"

Randy faced Howard. "What do you mean 'is that all'?"

Howard shrugged and turned away. "If I remember correctly, you were dating her before, so I just thought that you would want to go back to that."

Randy stopped. "Howard... I guess I do want that." He spoke softly. "But how can I if Theresa just forgave me? We've just reached 'friends' level again. She's not going to let us be more..."

"So show her you can!" Howard insisted.

Randy shook his, and dropped the subject. "Come on, let's get to class."

Debbie walked up to Theresa at her locker. "Morning Theresa"

"Good morning Debbie" Theresa greeted.

"How'd your date go yesterday?" Debbie asked Theresa.

Theresa frowned. "It wasn't a date, Debbie. And it went well, I forgave him fully."

"Are you sure you don't want to be more than just friends?" Debbie asked skeptical.

Theresa turned away. "I... don't know, Debbie."

Debbie pressed her lips together. "Well Theresa, you should decide. And you should do something about it. Randy's done his part, don't you think?"

Theresa turned to Debbie in surprise, but Debbie was already walking away.

"See you in class" Debbie called over her shoulder, and disappeared around the corner.

Theresa sighed as she stood alone. Debbie was right. But then again, when was she ever wrong?

['Things in single quotations and italics in this section are what is written down. Not thoughts.']

Theresa sighed and dropped her bag onto her desk chair. She dragged her feet to her bed and flopped down on it on her stomach. Theresa breathed into her pillow, before turning her head. Her eyes caught the bookshelf, and a special black and red notebook in it.

She sat up and pulled her diary out, and traced her hand on the cover. It was a spiral notebook, with an intricate red design on the black background, and the word 'Journal' was written on the red.

Theresa opened the hardcover and flipped through the pages to the clean one at the end. She pulled out the special pen in the spiral, and clicked it on.

'Hello again dear diary' Theresa began scribbling down.

'Things have been... hectic, confusing for me.' Theresa wrote. 'I just... he made it up to me. I don't know how I couldn't have had forgiven him after what he did. The fireworks were absolutely amazing. And I feel special to know that he did it for me.'

Theresa paused and thought. 'Debbie said that it was my turn to do something... if I want to, that is. And, I'm not even sure what I want to do at this point...' Theresa sighed out loud. 'I think... I do. I do want to do something about it. Randy, he's more than a friend to me. He's special, and kind and caring and cute too...' Theresa blushed, and shook her head. 'Ah, back to the point... I have to, no, I am going to do something. If I don't do anything now, I don't want to live in regret for not doing anything.'

Theresa pursed her lips. "Ok, now to think of a plan." She spoke out loud, and continued writing in her diary.

"Settle into your seats class." Mr. Bannister announced. "For today's assignment, you'll be working in pairs to complete these worksheets. I'll let you all choose your partners, but if you start fighting, I'll group you myself."

The students shuffled around finding their partners.

In the back of the classroom, Randy didn't move, and nor did Howard beside him.

"Partners?" Howard asked Randy, sticking out his fist.

Randy grinned and pushed out his fist. "Of cou-"

"Excuse me." A voice cut him off.

"Huh?" Randy looked up. "Oh! Theresa, hey... Theresa. What can we do for you?"

Theresa played with her fingers in front of her. "Well, I was wondering if you and I could work together on this sheet."

Randy nodded eagerly with a smile. "Yea, yea, no problem! Howard, you won't mind, will you buddy?"

Howard's eyes darted between Randy and Theresa's smiling faces. He grumbled. "Uck! No I won't mind!" He jumped off his stool and went to go find a partner.

Muttering incoherently, he found an empty stool and sat down on it, not bothering to look at who was beside him.

"That was nice of you"

Howard's head snapped up. "Oh, it's you."

Debbie rolled her eyes. "Yes, me."

Howard shrugged. "Well, whatever. And they were looking at me with weird faces."

"Smiling?" Debbie asked.

"Yea, sure."

"Ok. So, you can start on the front page, and I'll do the back side." Debbie ordered.

Howard frowned. "What?" Debbie glared at him, and he flinched. "Uh, never mind, I'll do it."

Debbie nodded in triumph. "Good, we'll get done faster this way."

Before he started, Howard quickly glanced behind him, to see Theresa and Randy smiling at each other. He huffed quietly to himself, those two better sort their useless drama stuff out.

Theresa exited through the double doors and looked around the schoolyard of students fresh out of class. She smiled as she spotted Heidi, deciding to go over and converse with the older girl.

"Theresa" She stopped in her tracks as someone called out to her.

She turned around slowly, making eye contact with Heidi, who had noticed her and started coming to her, and stood surprised.

"Randy, hi" Theresa smiled. "What's up?"

He shrugged. "Nothing much, but hey, wanna hit the Game Hole and play some video games?"

Theresa hesitated. "Um..."

"I could bring Howard, if you want me to. And you can ask Debbie Kang to tag along, too." Randy tried again.

Theresa felt Heidi staring from behind, but ignored the feeling. "I'm sorry, Randy, but I was already planning on doing homework and catch up on studying tonight." She explained with a sheepish grin.

Randy waved his hand in dismissal. "Nah, that's okay." He gripped his bag and turned to leave. "But my offer will still be here, if you'd like to go do stuff together." He said, then walked off.

Theresa's eyes widened slightly. Was that... was that him asking her out? She just realized it... but he sounded so casual about it. Maybe he was just asking as friends? Yea, most likely, if not definitely, that.

"Wow... I didn't know Mandy had it in him to ask someone out." Heidi spoke.

Theresa jumped and spun around. "You were listening?!" She paused, then added. "And his name's Randy."

Heidi shrugged, ignoring her last comment. "Well, you two didn't seem too private about it." Heidi tapped her cheek in thought. "But wait, why'd you reject him? I thought you liked him... didn't you think he was cute?"

Theresa flushed. "No! I mean, yes, but- wait no!"

Heidi grinned in satisfaction. "So why didn't you agree?"

"I didn't realize he was asking me out! I thought he was asking as friends!" Theresa answered.

Heidi tutted and shook her head in disapproval.

"What are you two up to, now?"

Heidi turned and saw Debbie Kang walking up to join them in their conversation.

"Nothing!" Theresa yelped quickly, trying to avoid the subject.

Heidi smirked. "Oh, nothing but the fact that Sandy came around and asked Theresa out."

Debbie raised an eyebrow curiously, unaffected by Heidi's misname calling, and peered at Theresa, who had covered her face with her hands. "Is that so? Why don't you tell me more, Theresa?"

Theresa looked up and gazed at her two friends, and their devious faces. She groaned. "You two suck."

'You can do this, you can do this... I can do this' Theresa was repeating the mantra in her head as she determinedly walked ahead, a goal in mind. She was actually walking around the city wasting time and relaxing after school, and she saw Randy running, towards her in fact.

Though, she doubted that he was running for her, Howard wasn't with him, so she guessed that's who he was going to meet.

Nonetheless, Randy spotted her and slowed down to greet her.

"Hey Theresa"

She smiled. "Hi Randy. In a hurry?"

He shrugged. "There was a robot attacking on the other street, and Howard went to the Game Hole without me."

Theresa covered her laugh. "That sounds like him."

Randy grinned. "Yea, well what can you expect from him?"

"Uh Randy, I wanted to ask you something." Theresa asked him.

"Yea?"

Theresa twisted her fingers around. "I... well I was thinking that maybe... we could go see a movie, or something, later... together..." She trailed off, and looked away.

She didn't see Randy's slightly wide eyes, as he answered her, speaking fast. "Uh, yea, sure! We can go now, if you'd like. I can just cancel with Howard, he won't mind, I'm sure!" He whipped out his phone and started typing, texting Howard she guessed. "So what do you wanna watch?"

Theresa looked up sharply, and smiled. "Actually, Detestable Me(1) came out a while ago, and I haven't watched it yet... so maybe we could catch that?"

Randy tucked his phone away. "That sounds good. If you don't have anything to do, let's go?"

Theresa nodded. "Yea."

Howard was busy pushing the game control buttons, so he didn't bother to look up when a figure stood beside him.

He scoffed. "About time, Cunningham. I was-"

"I'm not Randy."

Howard spun his head away from the video game screen to his unknown guest. "Oh." He said dumbly.

Debbie stood beside him with her arms on her hips. "So what, did Randy ditch you?"

He jumped towards her and pointed his finger accusingly. "No way! He just had to go NNS-"

This time Howard was interrupted by a beep from his phone. He pulled it out and read it, his face turning into a frown.

Debbie looked on. "What?"

Howard huffed and passed his phone to her, and she read it.

To: Howard

From: Randy

gng 2 mviis w/Theresa. gme hol 'nthr tme, bro.

Debbie smirked at Howard, and gave him his phone back.

"Ugh, whatever. I don't need him anyways." Howard said angrily. He paused then looked at her. "Wanna play Manfred Musterman Kid Cowboy(2)?"

Debbie tapped her cheek, then shrugged. "Sure. Since it seems like Theresa will be busy this evening..."

Howard ended his game and pulled out two tokens to play. "Ooh, bad news, I've only got a few tokens left, before we have to buy some more."

Debbie shrugged. "Alright, I can buy some more later."

"That's what I was hoping for!" Howard grinned and raced off.

Debbie's face twisted in confusion and quickly realized that she'd been tricked. She groaned. "Ugh. Weinerman."

Theresa smiled lightly as she and Randy casually strolled the park. After the movie finished, which she really enjoyed, they decided to go there.

She spotted an empty bench, and ran to it, sitting down and motioning for Randy to sit beside her.

He sat beside her, but she had relaxed into the seat and stared up into the sky. The sun was near setting, but not quite there, lighting up the park with an orange-ish hue. The clouds were scattered and puffy, taking up different forms. She stared at one puff of cloud that looked strangely like a cupcake...

"Do you want some ice cream?"

Her mind and eyes crashed down to earth. She dropped her head and turned to look at Randy.

"I..." But she stopped. Her eyes locked with Randy's and she froze. His dark blue eyes seems to glow in the sunlight.

Theresa wasn't quite sure what she did next, but she next found her lips on his, in a kiss.

She pulled herself away just as quickly, and ducked her head, staring at the dirt below her. "S-sorry. I'm sorry, Randy... for everything. I just... I don't know. I was confused, and I didn't mean to hurt you or anything. I never was mad at you, for keeping your secret from me." Theresa apologized, for everything that happened. "I don't know why, but sometimes you just do stupid things, ya know?" She let out a loose laugh. "I guess I just have to-"

But she stopped mid sentence, when Randy reached his hand out and grabbed her face. Her face twisted to confusion when their eyes met, but he didn't say anything. Instead, her pulled Theresa closer, and himself too, pressing a kiss on her lips.

When they pulled away, Theresa let out a small whisper. "W-what was that for?"

Randy laughed softly. "Because, you're apologizing for no reason. I should be the one asking for forgiveness from you. But here you are, telling me that you're sorry." He put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled her into a sideways hug.

"So you forgive me?" Theresa couldn't help but ask.

"If you forgive me." Randy countered.

Theresa laughed. "Yes."

The two sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"Um... Theresa?" Randy spoke up.

"Hmm?" She hummed in response.

"Will you, uh, be my girlfriend?" Randy asked nervously.

Theresa smiled widely, but didn't look at him. "Sure"

BONUS

Bucky was a little confused today. It was a normal day, maybe a little too normal? But there he was, in the middle of the school's yard with Theresa, finished filming the Ninja's battle with some student turned monster.

But that wasn't the strange part, it was the interactions between Theresa and Ninja. In the beginning of... this newscast, Theresa seemed very uncomfortable with the Ninja. Then, he didn't know why, but Theresa stopped doing the cast for a period of time, which she didn't tell him anything about.

And now, weeks since they started, here they were standing around and openly flirting with each other.

Well, they were off live feed, so he guessed it wasn't that bad.

"...I'll see you later?" Theresa asked the Ninja.

Ninja reached a hand into his belt. "Probably. Smokebomb!"

Bucky covered his nose and waved away the stinky smoke. He then turned to Theresa. "Why'd you ask the Ninja if you'll see him later? Isn't he the Ninja? Won't we all see him?"

Theresa stared at Bucky with her eyes wide. "Uh, yea. I mean, of course! It's just because we... uh, we're doing this newscast, and he doesn't always come up to talk to us!" She quickly spoke.

Bucky nodded. "True. Well, good thing you noticed." He said. "Now let's get back to biology. I heard we're having a pop quiz!"

She nodded and followed him back inside the school, not taking notice to the Ninja watching them from above.

OMdoubleC! I have FINALLY finished. Gosh darn, I took forever... last chapter was up a month and a half ago! 37 pages up in 7 chapters! Hehe, yay! ^^

Hehe, bonus with Bucky! Thanks to "AnonymouslyKnown0" for the idea! ;D

I think I lost the feel of Randy in the series... I feel like I made him more mature. So I guess you can now think that this takes place in their 10th grade year, when I was originally going for 9th grade... ahh, so sorry -_-"

STAY TUNED for next "chapter", it'll be another vote chapter!
