Alli walked into the MI room and saw Dave give her a small smile before waving back to him and taking a seat next to him. "I feel so bad for Clare. Did you hear her and Eli are fighting, she doesn't need another thing to worry about after the whole father thing." She would've kept rambling on, had Dave not been staring at her so deeply. "Do I have something on my face or something?"

"Just your beauty." He said with a flirtatious grin forming on his mouth. Over the break, Dave and Alli hung out numorous times and they had become really close. He still liked her and tried to make a move a few times, but she told him that she wasn't ready yet. Because of this, he hated Drew. She gave him a smile before turning to look at her computer.

"Alright class," Ms. Oh started, but Dave didn't listen. He was pretty sure he loved Alli and that was all he could think about. If Drew never came along, would they be together? He'd never know. God, why did Drew even have to come to this school? Dave thought to himself as he shook his head and began to log on to the computer.

After the bell rang, Alli ran out of the room quickly, and Dave ran after her. "So, you wanna do something later?"

"What did you have in mind?" Alli asked, coming to a hault so they could have a real conversation.

"I don't know, dinner and a movie?" She smiled a little.

"That sounds more like you're asking me on a date."

He shook his head with a smirk on his face. "I'm only asking if you think you're ready for a date."

"Dave, I'm flattered. But we discussed this months ago, I don't think we're going to happen." She gave him a sad smile before trying to walk away, but Dave grabbed her hand making her stop again.

"How will we find out for sure if we never try?" He asked as he looked down at their hands and laced their fingers together.

"You're making it really hard to say no." Alli said quietly as Dave got closer and closer to her.

"So does that mean your saying yes?" He asked hopefully, gripping her hand a little tighter.

"Yes." She raised her eyebrows slightly as she detached their hands and walked off, leaving a very happy Dave behind.

"Check it out guys, I've finally got a date with Alli later." Dave said bragging to all of his friends at the lunch table.

"Dude, stop lying." Connor said without even looking up from his food.

"Yeah man, we all know Alli has been turning you down forever." KC said with a chuckle.

There was silence for a moment as they all stared at Wesley, waiting for him to crack a joke. "Dude, aren't you going to say something?" Dave asked him, raising one of his eyebrows.

"No." Wesley looked across the cafeteria and saw Anya laughing with one of her friends and then he looked back to Dave. "Love sucks."

They tried not to say anything wrong because they knew it was a touchy subject, so they were silent for another moment. "So what are you and Alli gonna do later?" KC asked.

"Oh what, no more jokes?" Dave asked staring at KC, who shook his head and motioned to a very sad Wesley. "Oh, uh. I don't know. Dinner and a movie, her choice." The bell rang and they all got up to throw their stuff away except Wesley, who seemed to be lost in thought. Dave tapped his shoulder. "You coming man?" He gave a nod and got up slowly as they all walked to their next class.

Alli was walking to her next class when she felt a hand go onto her shoulder and she instantly knew who it was. "Alli please talk to me."

"Drew, I really do not want to." She rolled her eyes and tried to continue walking but he ran in front of her, making it difficult to pass.

"Just hear me out okay?"

She stared into his eyes and saw sadness. "Okay, you have 60 seconds."

"Alright, I know what I did with Bianca was wrong, to say the least."

He was going to say more but Alli cut him off, "You got that right."

"Hey, I've still got 45 seconds left." She nodded her head and he took that as his cue to continue. "I know that I should've told my mother the truth, lying was not worth losing you. I miss you and I love you and I want you. Please, take me back. I'll do anything." He was gripping her arms lightly and pulled her in for a hug, but she pushed him off.

"Drew, I need time to think." They stared at each other for a moment.

"Okay, I'll wait forever if I need to." She gave him a small smile before he took his hands off of her.

"What's he doing talking to you?" Alli turned around and saw Dave approaching them with an angry look on his face.

"He was just apologizing Dave, don't worry." Alli looked at him and smiled a little.

"He better be apologizing." Dave said as he stepped closer to Drew.

"Is that a threat?" Drew asked stepping equally as close.

"So what if it is?" They stared at each other for a moment before Dave through a punch at Drew. Drew picked Dave up and through his on the ground, straddling him and punching him. Then Dave flipped Drew over and through punch after punch until a teacher came and broke them up.

"What is going on here." The teacher said in more of a statement than a question.

"Nothing sir." Alli said, on the verge of tears.

"You three, in Principal Simpson's office, now." What a great way to start off the semester, not even a week in and we're already going to be expelled, Alli thought as she made her way to the office.
