Chapter Tweleve- I think He Likes Me

LSimon watched Jennifer run out, in tears. He walked over to Josh and grabbed his shirt collar.

"If you say one more word I'm gonna..." he started.

"Your gonna what, preacher boy, tell your Daddy?" Eric teased.

Luckily Simon saw the principal walking towards the table through the crowd that had gathered. No matter how much he wanted to punch him right now, it wasn't worth getting kicked out of school. He let Josh down, shoving him back in the process.

"Your not worth it."

Simon ran out of the cafeteria, down the hall and out of the doors just like Jennifer had done only a few minutes ago. He saw her running across the grassy area next to the school. He took off, racing after her. Once he caught up he grabbed her, spinning her around. She was crying, oh he hated that. He immediately wrapped her in his arms.

"I didn't..... I'm not......please..." Jen sputtered out between her tears.

"I know, shhhh, I know your not. It's ok, shhhh" Simon said, holding her in his arms as the rain poured down.

After a few seconds Simon said, "Lets go inside, I'll have Lucy drive us to my house to get dried off."

"I can't I have to work Simon." Jennifer said, her teeth chattering.

"We'll fix that. Don't worry." he said, putting his arm around her as they walked to the school.

When Lucy's car pulled up into the driveway Annie Camden opened the door. Lucy had called her ahead of time to tell her that they were coming home, and why. She had called Eric at the church, and asked him to call Mr. Fredricks and tell him Jennifer would not be coming to work that evening. Simon and Jen walked in first, dripping wet, their clothes soaked through. Lucy wasn't very wet, and she took Jen upstairs to her room and got her some warm dry clothes. Simon went to his room and changed as well. Both of the tired teens brought the sopping clothes downstairs for Annie to wash and dry. In the meantime she had made all three of them some Chicken Noodle Soup.

"Just so you know Jennifer, Reverend Camden called your boss, Mr. Fredricks, and told him you weren't coming in tonight. He explained to him that you felt a cold coming on and wanted to rest at our house so you could get over it." Mrs. Camden told her.

"Thank you Mrs. Camden, you didn't have to do that." Jennifer said, taking another bite of her soup.

When all three of them finished eating the soup, Annie sent Simon and Jennifer into the living room with strict orders to cover up and rest. Lucy offered to go get Ruthie to save her mom the trouble. When Lucy left Jennifer and Simon were on the couch, watching TV. Simon couldn't help but stare at her, and Jen turned around and caught him. He blushed.

"What?" she said, smiling.

"I....um well your.... I mean." Simon stuttered.

"Shhhh." Jennifer said, then she leaned up and kissed him.

Simon sat back after the kiss, he couldn't believe she had just kissed him. Jennifer was equally surprised that she had kissed Simon. He was the first to speak.

"Your so beautiful, and smart, and funny, and loving. What I'm trying to say is, Jennifer will you.... "

"Be your girlfriend? Yes Simon."
