Chapter 2-The Question

"Hey Jamie, A little late aren't we?" Brooke said to Jamie as he entered the station 20 minutes late.

"Yeah sorry I...uh...got held up at school, I had to talk to one of my teachers"

Actually, he had taken the long way to the station. He needed to be alone and think about his feelings for Catie. They had been friends for awhile now, but lately he found himself thinking about her in ways a friend shouldn't. She's so beautiful, he didn't know why all the sudden she was affecting him this way. maybe I should just tell her how I feel, but she doesn't feel the same. he wished that she did.

"You're lucky that Alex isn't here, He'd be furious!"

"I know, so where is everyone?"

"They're out in the garage"

"Thanks"

Jamie threw his bag down on the table and headed out to the garage. Val and Tyler were off in the corner talking, totally oblivious of anyone else.

"Hey Hank, What's going on?" Jamie questioned

"Nothing, just doing inventory. Wanna do it for me?"

"No way!!"

Just then Jamie spotted Catie coming into the station

"Catie what are you doing here?" Jamie's knees suddenly going weak and his heart rate picking up pace.

"I came to see if Val was still going to the movies with me tonight"

"Oh" Jaime said, suddenly disappointed that she had come to see Val and not him. "she's over there with Tyler" Jamie pointed in Val and Tyler's direction.

"Thanks" Catie lingered a moment before heading over to where Val stood.

Jamie watched her as she walked over and began talking to Val. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, she had him mesmerized. I think I'm falling in love, no, stop thinking of her like that, we're friends and I don't want to lose that. I can't help it though, she's so beautiful. the way her hair falls across-

"Um...Jamie I think you're drooling" Hank startled Jamie out of his thoughts "Why don't you just ask her out and get it over with! You're driving us all crazy!"

"What are you taking about?! Me and Catie together...a couple? No way...We're just friends, we'll never be anything more!" But Jamie wished they would.

"Come on Jamie, we all know that you two like each other!"

"did Catie say that she liked me?"

"I knew it, you do like her!"

"I don't...alright I do. Are you happy now? Never mind, Be quiet here she comes!"

Hank just rolled his eyes and walked off hopping that Jamie would finally ask Catie out

"So Catie, what movie are you and Val going to see?"

"We're not she has a date with Tyler. We were going to see The Mexican" Catie was silent for a moment then asked "would you want to go with me? I mean I really wanted to see it and I already bought the tickets, so how bout it?

HELL YEAH!! "Sure I'll go" Jamie replied, trying to sound as normal as he could under the circumstances. She just asked me out!!
