It Just Happened...

Disclaimer: Sky High and the characters from that movie belongs to Disney and their producers. I'm just using it to write this fanfiction.
Author's Note: So... Take some time again, huh? All I'm going to say in my defense is that I was preparing myself for my college's admission's test, so I didn't have much time for concentrating on the story. Now let's hope I got in and then I'll be so happy I may write more chapters in a row.. Oh, and again, please forgive me if there is some bad spelling... Does anyone checks in for my Beta? And I want to thanks every reader for Faving/Following/Reviewing this story, it really helps me to get my muse working.
They were sitting on the swing, the empty box of pizza in a near table, enjoying the spectacle of the appearance of the first stars.
She stared at the sky, deep in thought. Warren was just comfortable being there and thinking of nothing, not caring about anything.
"Warren…?" came her voice, barely louder than a whisper. "I… I've realized that I don't know much about you," she stated, looking him in the eyes.
"And…" he invited.
"And I do want to know you. I mean, we are friends right?" her eyes shone with something he couldn't comprehend.
"Yes, we are…" he answered, unsure.
"And friends know everything about each other to better understand the other one… and help them when they need it, right?" she insisted, nervousness making her lay with the edge of her shirt.
"Get to the point, hippie" he growled, growing impatient, but enjoying her shyness at the same time.
"I want you to tell me everything about you. I'll tell you about myself, of course. I was thinking we could sort of do something like the twenty questions or something like that and…" she started rambling, cheeks flushed.
"Flower Power" he called, stopping her. "I haven't even answered," he said with a smirk once she looked at him.
"Oh," was her smart answer, her lips forming a perfect O-shape. Warren's inner fire roared at the sight, his hormones in full awareness of the distance between them and that they were alone. He frowned, trying to calm down his inner turmoil.
"Ok hippie. But you'll have to be patient," he said, resigned. The hope in her eyes was too much for him to refuse. She accepted it. She knew some parts, if not all, of his life were difficult for him. She nodded in acceptance.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
They were gathering up the thing they had used for eating outside, when Warren sensed the stiffness that suddenly came to Layla's shoulders.
"What's the matter?" he asked, a little worried. Her bangs covered her downcast face, so he could not read what was going through her mind.
"School starts tomorrow…" her voice was full of sorrow. He frowned, not understanding what was bad about it.
"Warren, I've always supported on Will to have somebody to help me out with bullies at school and…" her voice cracked. "And now I don't have anybody" she confided, trying to hold back tears. Something inside him wanted to protect her from the pain and whatever issues she had with school, but he was not the type of guy who was open in their thoughts and actions.
"But you've got Guinea Girl and Shiny-guy and Popsicle…" he said frowning. She let out a frustrated scream.
"You don't understand! Mags and Zach are going to be all over themselves and Ethan would be bullied as I will. And then there is the fact that I'm gonna be all alone in…"
He cut her, not being able to stand untouched by her hurt voice and suppressed tears anymore.
"Okay hippie, I gotcha'. You can stick around me, I'll do what I can to stop assholes from bothering you" he said without thinking. Then he mentally grunted, but realized that anyhow it was the same thing that Will had asked him to do. And then it felt good, deep down inside him, when he saw her tears gone and a watery smile on her face.
Thanks for reading. Hope you liked this chapter. Reviews and constructive critics are most welcome. PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW...! It's an author's food. Feed me!
PS: So we're finally done with the "Summer Arc". Next in line is all the "school related" Arc. I think they way its picturing to me the whole idea of the story, we'll have one ore two more arcs apart from the other tow mentioned before. Oh... And I'm going on vacations (again), although this time I'll have internet and a computer, so I hope my next chapter will be due in a week or so. Anyways, what I loved from this chapter was again Layla. It show us that she's a real girl with troubles with something that I think it getting pretty common everywhere: "Bulling". And yes, since she believes in "not using violence", she is that kind of girl that will just take in silence the crap. So, in the next chapter you'll be able to understand fully what she meant for "And then there is the fact that I'm gonna be all alone in…". So, yeah, look forward for the next chapter, and keep those awesome reviews coming!
