AN: Yeah Yeah I know the first was short. But I have never uploaded anything to this website and I was anxious to see if it would work. As we left off….

Chapter 2: A Night to Remember

"Can you believe it?" her bestfriend crystal asked excitedly. "The richest most popular girl in school invited us to go to her valentines day party up at her lake house! This is suppose to be the social event of the year and we're invited." Olga just smiles at her friends enthusiasim. Crystal had been her best friend since kindergarten. She knew everything about her. This was good sometimes and other times it could be quite annoying. Although Olga maybe smiling right now she was really hurting. She had just found out that Helix Carter was moving. Her world was crashing in around her. She had never even asked him out or anything. She couldn't believe the way her life was turning out. The love of her life, her la passion, (I was trying to make that look french) was leaving and she would never see him again. She must have been frowning because Crystal was staring at her funny. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Your not still thinking about HIM?" The last word emphasized with an exasperated fling of her arms. "He didn't even know your name. He called you cotton head all the time." Crystal was right. She can't even recall him ever saying her name. Crystal continued her berating, "besides he's the most popular boy in school in that aloof lone wolfer sort of way. Every girl wants him. Well, let's face Olga, You're a Nerd. You don't stand a chance." Olga just stared at her friend in disbelief. "What do you mean 'Nerd'? I am not a nerd. Sure I've won every Spelling bee in the Tri-state area, I've been an Honor student since Preschool, I can play the Piano better than people twice my age, I've been class valedictorian every year, school editor……OH MY GOD …Crystal I AM A NERD!" Olga crumples to the bed sobbing. Crystal just pats her on the back.

Another announcement comes over the intercom. The airport is routing their flight to a near by airport where the storm hasn't hit yet. Olga let's out a long breath and pulls her cell phone from her pocket book. She calls her parent's to let them know about the change in plans. She sits back in her chair waits to land.

***Flashback****

The lake was lit up by Japanese lanterns. A live band was playng a bad version of New Kids On The Block. AN: I think I just dated myself here. O.o I'm trying to make it sound 89 or 90-ish. All of her class mates were spread out over the area. It was too cold to go swimming, so many stayed near the bonfires and danced. Many others were crowded around the picnic tables, including a certain Helix Carter to Olga's excitement. She had decided before she arrived that she was going to tell Helix just how she felt about him. It was now or never. She inhales a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She begins to proceed to the table where Helix is sitting. She can't help inwardly smile at him. Even at the social event of the year he still finds creativity for his poetry. She watches him writing in his blue book as she approaches his table. He sees her coming and quickly shuts his book. " Hi Helix!" She manages with as much courage as she can muster. He looks up at her quizically. "Oh Hi Olga." So he did know my name she beams. He brushes his light brown hair out of his eyes. That was the first time she noticed he had a Unabrow. His long bangs always kept it covered up. Oh well, she thought, her dad had one too. It didn't make her love him any less.

"Did you want something cotton head or are you just here to breathe my air?" Helix asked with a wicked grin. Olga was abit taken back by his sarcastic remark. She feels she will never understand how he can write such beautiful poetry one minute and be so cynical and cruel the next. "Did you want something or not?" He asked again obviously becoming annoyed at her silence. "I have something, she gulps, to talk to you about. It's very important. Can we go somewhere private." There she said it. The first steps taken. "Really?" he looks at her funny. "What about?" "Please" she says "in private." She nods over at the boat house. Helix looks down at the table and his book as if contemplating his answer. She had never noticed this uncertainty about him before. He seemed..shy. "Sure" he finally said, "Why not"

The plane lands in the airport. Olga gathers her things as she notices the first of the snow flakes falling. She heads off of the plane into the walkway. She doesn't see her parents. So she grabs a snack and coffee from the vending machine, and settles down in one of the chairs in the waiting area.

*****flashback****

Helix followed Olga to the Boat house. Inside the boat house were several large yachts and speed boats. They should call it a Yacht mansion Olga mused at the massive amount of space. Helix walks into the boat house behind her and whistles. He's suddenly cut off by laughter. Two guys sitting on some rafts they had blown up were drinking heavily what appeared to be some kind of whiskey. Helix walks up to them "Hey you two SCRAM!! NOW!" Helix yells pointing his thumb in the direction of the door. "We were here first." States one. "Yeah! That's right" piped the second. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Perhaps you would like to repeat yourself to Ole Bruce here" Helix states dramatically punching his right fist into his left palm. "Nah Man. Nah" Boys both stammer as they make their way out the boathouse door. Helix closes and locks the door behind him. "Sooo " he begins running his fingers through his bangs again, "What did you want to talk about" Well here goes nothing Olga thought. "I just wanted you to know …."she was beginning to loose her courage. "that I love you" There she said it! He just stands there looking at her for the longest time. Then finally says "You do?" Olga just shakes her head yes. "I just wanted you to know how I felt before you left. I think you write the most beautiful poetry I ever heard. It's better than any of the stuff we read in English class. Even if you don't feel the same way back. I just wanted you to know how I felt." Helix turns around and faces the wall. "So you're telling me all this now!? When I am leaving in two weeks? It would have been better had you never told me at all." She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What do you mean Helix?" Olga was very confused by now. Helix turns to face her. She could tell he was fighting back tears. "I love you too. Ever since 3rd grade when my father's company moved us here. I just never dreamed that a girl as pretty and together as you are would even have anything to do with me." Olga was crying herself now. She was never shy to cry in public. She walked over to him and put her arms around him. She looks into his eyes. Oh those hazel blue eyes of his like pools thunderous emotions boiling just under brim. He leans in and kisses her. She felt like someone just poured hot lava into her legs and arms. She could barely stand or breathe. It was her first kiss, and oh what a kiss. He steps back from her and looks down at his feet. He begins to kick at the dirt. His breathing somewhat labored to "I know this is probably not the best way to do this…and you can say no…I was thinking ..you know…since we won't ever see one another again that maybe you wanted to.." he points over at the rafts on the floor " Well you know..Do it." He looks up at her now questioningly. Oh she knew what he was asking her! His nervousness, the floats. She felt a knot growing in the pit of her stomach. She had never even kissed before tonight let alone done IT! She looked at him, then the floats, and back at him. She definitely loved him and she always told Crystal that she wanted her first time to be with someone she loved and special. She loved him and she would never see him again, that was special. She took a deep breath, "Okay" He Smiled. Her Knees went weak.

A loud familiar voice rang out through the airport. "Olga..pick up your pace we have to meet your sister!" No he wasn't talking to her. He was talking to Helga. Calling Helga by her name as usual. "I'M MOVING AS FAST AS I CAN BOB!" Helga retorts. "now let's not fight we're here to get Olga." Came the very tired sounding voice of her mother. Olga takes a deep breath, shakes her head and begins gathering her things.

Oh I hope this was better! Most of you smarties have figured out by now where this is headed. Don't worry I'll try and update soon.
