Angela stood in the rain waiting for the school bus. She had a smile fixed on her face and really didn't care that she was getting wet I love him, I actually like..love him she thought happily. Never would she have imagined in her wildest dreams that she'd be dating Jordan Catalano and that he'd write her such a beautiful song.

"Chase you're getting soaked" said Brian Krakow who had appeared beside her as if by magic. "Hey Brian" she smiled holding her arms outstretched letting the rain envelop her.

Brian frowned at Angela's apparent ignorance to the fact that the rain was pouring down " Angela you'll get ill, here..stand under my umbrella" he said as he stood closer to her holding the umbrella over both of their heads.

Angela turned to look at him with a serene smile on her face "I'll be ill but I'll be happy" she giggled, lost in thoughts of Jordan.

Brian shook his head in confusion "Angela..are you like mental? It's torrential rain and you don't like care.." Angela laughed and nodded her head "Yea Krakow, I'm bonkers" she laughed. Brian smiled at her as crazy as she was acting he liked to see her happy She's beautiful when she smiles, I mean really smiles he thought.

The bus pulled up splashing Brian in the process he stood there wiping his wet jeans "God dammit, these are new jeans" he whined.

Angela laughed and took his arm "C'mon Krakow, let's get you on this bus before you get pheumonia or something" she said leading him onto the bus.

Brian took a seat at the back and waited to see if she'd sit next to him but she chose to sit behind Shane. He sighed and looked out of the window I'll always like..be in her background he thought sadly, wanting so badly to be a part of her world.

Shane saw Angela sit behind him and he turned round to look at her. "Morning Chase.." he said being as friendly as he could be.

She put her hair into a ponytail and smiled back at him " Hey Shane" she smiled. Shane was just staring at her, she seemed different, more relaxed and sure of herself. He didn't know what else to say so just remained smiling at her.

Angela raised her eyebrows and looked around the bus nervously Why is he just staring? Have I got something on my face she thought wiping her chin nervously in-case she had the remains of her breakfast around her mouth.

"So it's like pouring down..." said Shane looking out of the window. Angela smiled "Yea..." Shane sighed and turned back round to face the front of the bus.

Jordan sat in his car examining his cheek in the rear-view mirror Fuck it's swollen up he thought stroking it to ease the aching he felt all morning.

He looked out of his window and saw the school bus pull up. Angela and Shane got off the bus at the same time and both headed towards Jordans car.

Angela saw that Shane was wanting to see him so she hung back. "Um, tell Jordan I'll see him in class.." she said t, disappointed that she couldn't greet him alone.

Shane raised his hand to her " Yea will do..Laters " he said dismissively as he walked ahead of her.

Angela watched Shane get into Jordans car and sighed, she slowly turned around and headed into the school.

Jordan saw her hang back and closed his eyes after seeing her give in to Shane Dammit Shane he thought rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Hey man what's up?" said Shane as he climbed in next to him. "What the fuck happened to your cheek dude?" he said with a look of shock and curiosity.

Jordan put his hand to his cheek "Ah this, nothin..Just got in a fight with a couple of dudes at Let's Bolt last night" he lied looking away from his friend.

Shane frowned " You were at Let's Bolt last night? That's odd...Me and Joey were there and we didn't see you.."

Jordan rubbed his head "Yea, I didn't like stay long man..." Shane scratched his head "Ah right..whatever man.." he said choosing not to pursue the truth. He knew by now when Catalano was lying, they had been friends long enough and he also knew when he didn't want to disclose any more information.

"That looks fuckin gnarly man.." he said staring at Jordan's cheek. Jordan shrugged and lit a cigarette. Shane smiled at him "Oh hey man..Angela said she'll see you in class"

Jordan gave a small smile remembering last night "Yea, yea she will" he said brightly She's the first person i've ever like opened up to, and you know what? It's not that scary..he thought , happy that he could maybe now turn a corner in his life..

Jordan and Shane finished their cigarettes and ran into the school as fast as they could to escape the downpour of rain.

Angela was with Rickie and Rayanne , she had told them about being with Jordan last night but not about all they talked about. That was between him and her and definitely not her secret to tell.

They all turned to see Jordan and Shane bursting into the school laughing. Angela smiled when she saw him and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Rickie and Rayanne looked at each-other and Rickie leaned in to her ear and whispered " You watch him like totally ignore her, it's always his rules..It's not fair on her"

Rayanne nodded her head and sighed "I agree, but she's so in love with him she can't see how he treats her" she whispered back slightly glaring at Jordan who was walking towards them.

Angela leant against her locker waiting to see if he would ignore her or give her one of their secret smiles. He did neither, he walked up to her as bold as brass and kissed her tenderly on the lips in front of everyone " Hey " he mumbled shyly as he broke away from her lips.

"Hey" she smiled back, hardly able to contain the elation she felt that he was actually making them public. He took her hand and smiled at her and then he turned to Rickie and Rayanne and gave them a nod of acknowledgement " Hey" he said quietly, noting the look of surprise on their faces.

Rickie just smiled and looked to the floor. Rayanne gave him a slap on the arm and laughed "Hey Catalano.."

Jordan turned back to Angela and still holding her hand said "Okay, let's get to class.."

As they walked ahead of Rickie, Shane and Rayanne Angela turned back round to her friends and gave them a huge grin.

Rayanne stuck her thumb up at her and winked whilst Rickie kept his head bowed in dis-belief and relief.

Rayanne nudged his arm gently with her elbow " See Vasquez..Sometimes it's sooooooo good to be proved wrong" she smiled as she linked arms with him and followed Angela and Jordan to class.
