Will grabbed Caitlin's
hand as they ran out of the school as fast as they could--- Will
stopped for a second and looked around the surroundings, trying to find
out which way they should go.
"This way"
Will motioned to the
left, he remained to hold Caitlin's hand as they ran over to a couple of
green bushes, they kneeled down behind the bushes--- Caitlin opened her
mouth to say something but Will put his finger up to her lips motioning
for her to keep quiet---- Will watched some of the teachers run out of
the school, they stood out there for a minute before retreating back inside
the school, once the coast was clear Will turned to Caitlin who had a cautious
look on her face but then it was replaced by a glare.
"That was your idea of
a fun time?"
Will shook his head and
grabbed Caitlin's hand once more.
"No, feel like dancing?"
Caitlin opened her mouth
to say something nasty but then she smiled when she remembered what Will
was talking about, how could she forget it? Will and her had gone to the
diner once Caitlin ditched summer school, Will had been trying to help
Caitlin get the hang of algreba--- which was impossible--- Caitlin had
put a quarter in the jukebox machine and put a song on and after about
a few minutes of begging Will to do it, they danced together. Caitlin would
be lying if she said that she hadn't felt butterflies in her stomach when
Will's hands were wrapped around her waist, his hands had felt so warm,
it had sent shocks throughout her whole body--- but it was the good kind
of shocks--- but then Jim had walked in and ruined the moment.
"Well?"
Will stared at Caitlin,
examing the dazed look on her face--- god she's so beautiful--- Will tilted
his head, giving Caitlin his best impatient look but in reality he could
actually just stare at Caitlin Seegar all day--- but you didn't hear it
from me. Will's voice brought her back to reality, she noted the look on
Will's voice and did her best not to think how adorable he looked right
now.
"I thought you don't
dance"
Will smirked.
"Well I'll make an exception
for you"
Will pulled Caitlin up
with him.
"Aww, so I feel so special"
Will smirked once more.
"You should"
Caitlin laughed silently
as she followed slightly behind Will as they walked to the diner.
Eric looked around the
school looking for Caitlin but just like Brett, Jordan or Griffin he couldn't
find her--- where in the world was she? She's going to get in trouble.
"Find her yet Eric?"
Eric turned around and
shook his head at Griffin, answering his question.
"Guess what?"
Eric and Griffin turned
to Brett giving him a questioning look.
"Will is nowhere to be
found either"
Eric raised his eyebrows
at Griffin who let out a sigh.
"What is so special about
that guy? Why can't Caitlin seem to stay away from him?"
Eric shook his head---
he was thinking the same thing--- Eric didn't see anything special about
Will, he was just a guy--- well now he was just a guy that was getting
on his last nerves and messing with one of his friend's minds. Eric
didn't say this a lot but Caitlin was real important to him and he hated
the affect Will had on her.
"My mom and dad are going
to kill her once they found out she ditched the first day of school"
Eric sighed.
"Well it's her own fault,
if she's with who I think she's with, then her own fault. That guy is a
jerk, I don't see what she sees in him"
Eric sighed once more
and walked off towards his math class with Brett and Griffin behind him---
her own fault--- then why was he so worried about her?
Caitlin collapsed onto
the black stool and let out a very needed laugh as Will sat down next to
her, Caitlin tried to catch her breath, she could feel her heart and it
was pounding about a million times a second, she had danced with Will about
five times in a row, she had danced until she swore she couldn't dance
anymore. Caitlin stared at Will as he ordered them something to eat,
she felt the familar feeling of butterflies in the stomach feeling--- god
he always does this to me.
"So, are we all danced
out or what?"
Caitlin let out a laugh.
"Yes we are."
Will smiled and looked
around for a few seconds and then turned to Caitlin.
"You know I was half
expectiing for Jim to come stalking in here and start screaming out demands"
Caitlin smiled and hit
Will playfully on the arm.
"He didn't scream out
demands"
"Oh excuse me, he barked
out commands"
Caitlin rolled her eyes
at Will.
"So---"
Will took Caitlin's hand
in his own, he interlocked his fingers with hers.
"How much work did you
have to do on Eric's farm?"
Caitlin stared down at
their hands and their fingers which were interlocked with one another's.
"Not that much"
Will nodded.
"That's good."
Caitlin gulped.
"Here's your food kids"
Will and Caitlin tore their hands apart when the waitress put their food in front of them, the waitress arched her eyebrows and snickered to herself as she turned around to serve another customer. Caitlin lowered her eyes to stare at what Will had ordered them....
1 hamburger--- no mannoise w/out lettuce--- 1 dill pickle on the side--- cherry coke---- potato chips on the side---
Caitlin looked at Will
with an incredelous look on her face and in her eyes, she couldn't believe
Will knew her favorite meal, she couldn't believe he would actually take
the time to remember what her favorite meal was--- was she that important
to him?
"What?"
Will stopped eating his
food when he saw Caitlin staring at him, he put his hamburger back down
on his plate and stared back at Caitlin.
"You remembered what
my favorite meal here was?"
Will heaved out a sigh
of relief and nodded.
"Yeah"
"Why?"
Will shrugged.
"Because it's yours.
I take the time to remember little things about you, like when you feel
really bad or scared you go talk to Bandit, or when you're stressed you
drink coffee, and how your nose scrunches up when you don't like something"
Caitlin smiled.
"Really? Well I know
that when you're mad you, well you get this really scrunched up look on
your face and then you go riding Sinbad, and when you're bored you just
daze off into space and---"
Caitlin stopped short
when she felt Will's lips brush softly against hers. Caitlin was first
shocked by the kiss but then she felt the tension leave her body as she
kissed Will back, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he deepened the
kiss.
"Caitlin..."
Caitlin and Will tore
apart from the kiss when they heard someone first clear their throat and
then say Caitln's name, Caitlin looked up to see Jim staring--- no wait---
glaring down at them.
"Jim--"
Caitlin spit the word
out like it was venom, she could feel her heart began to pound harder then
it had ever pounded in it's life.
"Let's go"
Caitlin looked back at
Will who had gotten up, Caitlin went to leave with Jim but she stopped
when Will grabbed her wrist gently.
"Um Mr. Lowe, we're having
lunch"
Caitlin smiled at the
way Will was standing up to Jim but then a part of her felt like screaming
at Will telling him to just keep his mouth shut. Jim took off his hat and
then his sunglasses to get full view of Will--- god this kid got on his
last nerves---- who did Will think he was? First he ditched school with
his kid and then he kissed his kid and now he had the balls to stand up
to him?
"Well she's done"
Jim grabbed Caitlin by
the arm and dragged her out of the diner.
"Hey!"
Once they got outside
of the diner Caitlin wiggled out of Jim's grasp and glared at him.
"How dare you"
Jim shook his head.
"You are too young to
be kissing boys, especially boys like Will"
Caitlin continued to
glare.
"Boys like Will? What's
wrong with Will? He's sweet, smart and fun to be with. And it is my choice
when I decide when I am ready to be kissing someone"
Jim looked Caitlin in
the eyes.
"Will is irresponsible,
dangerous and I don't want you with him, especially kissing him. You have
let Will corrupt you"
Caitlin gasped.
"Corrupt me? I can't
believe you just said that. Will likes me for me, and I like Will for him
and I wouldn't ask him to change to my standards which last time I checked
he lived up to them. You don't even know him, you have no right to judge
Will.... no right whatsoever."
Caitlin shook her head
and walked off in the other direction ignoring Jim's pleas for her to come
back.
[Will's House]
"Can you believe that?
He thinks he's so superior, so above everybody else and he thinks he has
the right to judge people, judge people he doesn't even know!"
Will sighed, rubbing
his eyes.
"Caitlin, people are
like that, pigheaded stubborn people judge people, they may not know who
the person they are judging--- it doesn't matter Caitlin, if I wear the
wrong type of clothes people judge me, that's how life works--- how life
has always worked. Caitlin--- life isn't always fair, just because you
like me doesn't mean other people will"
Caitlin nodded and finally
sat down on the couch next to Will.
"It's just that I thought
Jim was different, he didn't judge me so I guess I thought that he wouldn't
judge you. He had no right Will, you're smart and funny and handsome and---
why are you staring at me like that?"
Will smirked.
"I'm handsome?"
Caitlin rolled her eyes.
"I had no idea Caitlin
Seegar, that you think I am devilishly handsome"
"I never said devilishly
handsome, I said handsome, actually I didn't even mean it"
Will smirked once more
and grabbed a pillow.
"Yes you did, confess---
you think I am handsome"
Caitlin put her hands
up.
"Never"
"You asked for it"
Will gripped onto the
pillows and stared hitting Caitlin with the pillows, he started laughing
at the way she squealing and how she was trying to grab onto a pillow of
her own but couldn't catch her breath to do it.
"Surrender?"
"Never"
Caitlin finally grabbed
the pillow and hit Will over the head with it, taking him by surprise they
both toppled off of the couch landing on the wooden floor with a loud 'thump'.
"Ow"
Caitlin started rubbing
the back of her head, she pushed herself up and turned to Will who was
just recovering from laughing, Will ran his fingers through his hair and
scooted closer to Caitlin--- Caitlin looked at Will and closed her eyes
as Will leaned in close to her, Caitlin felt her heart skip a beat once
their lips met... she felt shocks going through her whole body, was this
what love felt like?
