So read, review, and enjoy!

The end of the school year was now very near. Only one week of school was left. As Zoe, Grace, Maya, Tiny, and Tristan began the last five days they worked very hard on last minute exams and homework.

Spring had brought warm weather that felt nice to everyone. Zoe knew she needed to talk to Grace about her current feelings, but she decided to wait until summer began. That way nothing could distract her from getting her good grades.

And little did she know Grace was thinking the exact same thing...

"So are you excited about summer break? Just think about it! Late night dates, sleepovers..." Grace trailed off, as she and Zoe walked through the halls of Degrassi.

"I am very excited! Sleepovers and late night dates sound great, Grace," Zoe replied.

"It sure does..." Grace said. The goth suddenly began to get dirty thoughts in her mind which she quickly shook off.

"So the DOT after school?" Zoe suggested.

"You know it, Baby Girl!" Grace nodded. They entered their math class and both sat down together.

After school was done for the day and the couple headed to the DOT, Zoe began to feel nervous. What if Grace didn't go for it? Of course not knowing Grace was feeling the same didn't change her own fears.

Zoe and Grace shared some fries and drank some shakes. While they walked to Zoe's house Grace smiled weakly at her girlfriend and spoke up. "Ready to work on this homework?"

"Yeah," Zoe responded, as they arrived at her home.

The evening was tense to way the least... Both Grace and Zoe got so distracted with their thoughts that it was hard to do their work, though they got through it.

As the last week of school continued studies were finished and on Friday when the final bell rang summer began!

Grace and Zoe were heading to the park to watch the clouds and work on self-defense.

"Feels like to be done with school," Zoe said, as she and Grace laid on the grass. They had been practicing self defense for an hour and needed a break.

"Same here," Grace nodded.

"Grace... I need to talk to you about something... We've been dating for almost a year now... We both love each other very much and have been through a ton of stuff... Grace, I love you and I want to have sex... Zoe replied.

"Re-Really?" Grace managed to choke out in question.

"Y-Yeah..." Zoe said nervously.

"I want to have sex too... I've been thinking about it for a while," Grace replied.

"So wanna make a date for... Tomorrow night? My mom will be working until eleven tomorrow night," Zoe responded.

"It's a date, Baby Girl," Grace said. She winked at her girlfriend and smiled.

"Good..." Zoe said.

"Ready to practice more self-defense?" Grace asked.

"You betcha!" Zoe chuckled, as she got up.

"Then let's go!" Grace replied. The goth got up and then raced Zoe to the middle of the open field.

-The End-
