Author's Note: Oh you guys hate me don't you after I left that cliffhanger! Ha well here's the answer you all wanted and got right! I hope you're liking it so far. I'm getting a hang of this on-schedule updating...so proud of myself ^_^ Anyway! Let the romance begin! Enjoy! :)
"Evan," she began, "I'm going to have to reject your offer. Evan looked at her, his face blank from shock. Did she, he thought. Did she just reject me? That can't be true, it must be my nerves getting to me.
"Excuse me?" Katherine smiled, trying to put it lightly, "I'm sorry. I can't go out with you." Evan removed his hand from her chin and backed away from her.
"W-Why not?" What would I say? I can't say, 'Oh I decided to see Odd instead. Sorry.' That would be rude, she thought to herself. What would be her excuse?
"I have to sleep well today. I have a doctor's appointment before classes start and I—"
"Oh are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Katherine shook her head, giggling. It wasn't giggling because she thought his concern was cute. It was giggling because she couldn't believe he fell for her excuse! Wow, she thought smiling on the inside. I may have some potential for lying in the future. She took hold of the door.
"No, I'll be fine." She looked to the floor, butterflies getting jumpy as she thought she was close to seeing Odd. She looked at Evan, putting a sad expression on her face.
"Well, goodnight Evan. I'm sorry again." Evan's face was still blank and walked off before she could finish her sentence. He gave her a wave of the hand and said, "Feel better," before turning the corner. Katherine closed the door, slowly to make sure she wouldn't wake the others near her, and looked at Chewy who was staring at her.
"What? It wasn't a complete lie. I do have to go to the doctor's just to donate blood a week from now. It's completely legit thank you very much," she explained to her dog. When the dog didn't answer she sighed in frustration.
"You just wanna see Kiwi, huh Chewy?" The dog finally responded with a violent but cute wag of the tail. She let out a chuckle.
"Ok then, where's your leash?"
Odd was on a nearby rock with Kiwi scurrying around him. He was waiting patiently for Katherine. But will she come?
"What do you think, Kiwi? Do you think she found the letter?" Kiwi just stared at him. Odd sighed and looked to the floor.
"I hope so, I spent time on that note," he said recalling. Instead of just sleeping in class like he usually does, Odd was doing something productive. In a sudden burst of creative genius, he decided to write a note to Katherine. She seems so stressed out lately and confused because of all the recent Lyoko stuff. So he wanted to cheer her up, like he does with everyone. He likes seeing people smile, especially Katherine.
"Well Kiwi, I don't think they're coming," Odd said sadly looking at his dog. When the dog didn't respond he said, "Sorry buddy, Chewy isn't coming." And neither is Katherine, he thought to himself sadly. Kiwi whimpered and his tail stopped wagging.
"Come on, let's go back in before the Jim wakes up," he said picking up Kiwi.
"That was a dumb move, huh? I thought she would come out at this time, for me," when Kiwi looked at him he said, "for you I meant. That was a stupid wasn't it? Ugh, I'm an idiot."
"No you're not Odd," he heard a soft voice. "Woah," he said under his breath. "I really am going crazy. Beautiful voices are inside my head."
He heard the voice giggle and a dog bark.
"Chewy shush," the voice said. Kiwi jumped from his arms, his tail wagging. Odd turned to see Katherine in an over-the-shoulder long sleeve yellow shirt, jeans and tan flats. She smiled at him and let Chewy down who ran to Kiwi.
Odd thought with a smile on his face, 'She came.'
I know its short! Forgive me! At least you got Katherine's answer! This is all I could come up with on short notice! I had an AP test to study for and my teacher wasn't there for the test all week and so I studied all week for no reason! ugh i got nooo sleep! joyyy anyway. I promise next week's chapter will be longer and cute. Next week the 'date' between these two begins!
REVIEWS ARE NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!
