A/N Hey!! Thank you to those people who actually reviewed the third chapter. Seeing how I only got two reviews * shakes fist and growls in anger* (Kelly's doesn't count since I've known her over half my life () this should be a short a/n.

The Bot--- heh heh. It gets worse for poor CeeCee.

NRG/Kelly---leave CeeCee alone. Like I said, there weren't really any jocks there, so maybe he was a loser. Didn't think about that DIDJA????(I know, I'm a loser)

and also, shut up with the Suze/Paul. Write your own story. ( bah.

Lady of the lilacs---wow. You probably talk a lot don't you? J/k. I got the second review, ya know, with you yelling at fanfiction.net. and I cracked up. Thank you sooooo much. I loved your review. In fact, it made me update faster. So yaaaaay you! You got me off my fat butt (well I guess not because I'm still sitting.) and made me update. And second, I still think I'm not that good of a writer. I have no imagination. *fishes for compliments. * ok, ok. Any ways, ummmmmmmmm..yay!!!

On with the show!!

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Bah. Wait. I do own someone..you haven't met her yet but I made her up about a half hour ago....ok..what was I saying?

Chapter 4 The Shocker

"Here's the birthday boy." said Suze sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah." he replied, stealing some of Suze's chips.

"Don't sound so thrilled." CeeCee said, thinking of the red-head he he'd been dancing with.

A slow song came on and Suze was asked to dance by a cute guy from their school. She cast an uncertain look at CeeCee.

"Go ahead. Forget Jesse for one night." Whispered CeeCee so that only Suze could hear. Suze smiled, and went to dance, leaving CeeCee alone with Adam. CeeCee's stomach tightened.

"So-" Adam started, but CeeCee interrupted him.

"Adam, can I show you something?" She wanted to get this over with.

"Sure." Adam said slowly, shooting her a quizzical look.

CeeCee took his hand and led him into the house.

"Stay here." she said, leaving him in the living room and walking to the bathroom.

When she came back Adam said, "Did you want to show me that you can walk? Because I've already seen that."

"No, I. I wanted to give you this." She handed him a present wrapped in shiny blue paper.

"What's this?" he asked, turning it over to open it.

"The rest of your present." She said as he pulled out a large picture in a white frame.

It was a picture of Adam, CeeCee and Suze sitting on the sand at the beach. Adam was in the middle, and Suze and CeeCee were leaning on his shoulders. CeeCee had gotten it from the reporter who'd covered the beach cookouts for the school newspaper. CeeCee had enlarged it, so it was slightly smaller than a poster.

"Wow. CeeCee. This is awesome." Adam said, staring at the picture.

"Let's get back outside" CeeCee said nervously, turning for the door.

"Wait." Said Adam, catching her wrist. CeeCee froze.

"Thanks, CeeCee." He said, slowly moving closer. They were now about an inch apart, and it looked like CeeCee's daydreams from the past 3 years were coming true. Just as he was about to kiss her, a fleeting image of Adam kissing the red-haired girl on the cheek flashed through her mind. She took a step back, knocking into a table.

"I-I can't" she stammered, looking at her feet.

"I knew it." Adam said sadly, now looking at his feet also. "I knew you didn't like." He looked into her eyes, then turned around and went outside.

CeeCee couldn't move. She was shocked.
Did Adam like her? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
