Eli was in his room thinking about his day.
~ Grace had really looked happy this morning. She was going to give those letters to that teacher. I can't believe Grace had fallen in love without anyone noticing. She was really growing up.

Grace sat in her room looking at her papers.
~ How could I ever think I could ever give these to Mr. Dimitri. I was so stupid to think he loved me too. Hey what is that? It's some kind of stain. Oh My God! It's a coffee stain. Eli read my letters. Oh God he knows my inner most thoughts. What am I going to do? I know.
"Eli!" She called running to the kitchen and into the garage.
"How could you? You lied to me! I can't even look at you now." With that she left his room.
Eli sat staring at the door, stunned. Everything had happened so quickly.
~ What just happened? Why is she so mad?
Then he realized why.
~ Oh no! She found out.
"Grace wait! Grace!" He called after her.
He ran to catch up to her. She was already halfway up the starirs when he caught her.
"Grace listen, I'm sorry for what I did."
He pleaded with her. She just stood the unable to look at him.
"You read my private letters. You know how I feel! You shouldn't have done what you did." By this time she was crying. She sat down on the stairs and covered her face.
"Grace I'm sorry I shouldn't have. I know, I just felt like we weren't close anymore. I thought they were stories. Please forgive me." He sat down and put his arm around her. She leaned close to him and cried.
"I love him, Eli. I really do. What am I going to do?" She was crying onto his shoulder now, trying to stop, to control herself.
"Grace I believe you, but I think you should date someone your own age." He said stroking her hair.
"Like who, the silly little boys in my school. The ones who have nothing better to do than have sex with any girl available." She said looking into his eyes.
"No, you deserve someone who cares about you. Someone who knows you and understands you. Someoneā¦. Like me." And with that he kissed her. I was a short, sweet kiss but it sent chills down his back. It was a rush that they both felt. They were closer than ever. He found himself falling in love with her.
