Tow days later Simon returned home. The Camden kids had taken advantage of his 'homecoming' and had convinced Eric to let them throw a party for him.

'SURPRISE' they all yelled as he came through the door.

'WOW!' Simon said looking at the balloons and decorations. They'd really gone to town with this party! 'This is great!' he exclaimed.

'Glad you like it,' Lucy said giving him a hug, the rest of the family joined in forming a group huge group hug.

Six hours later Simon was lying in his bed wandering the same thing he'd been wandering ever since the incident. 'Why did she do it?' he asked himself, for what seemed like the millionth time. The Camden's have never gotten along with the Calvin's family. It had something to do with their beliefs; Kaci's father was trying to draw people away from the Church, saying the religion was evil, and full of hatred. This caused major arguments between Annie and Eric, against Kaci's parents whenever they both were in the Supermarket.

Kaci's black clothing made her an outcast at school, and earned her a reputation as a Groat. That's what they called the kids who wore al black at they're school, there was quite a group of them now, all hung out in the same clan.

That was another reason why Simon couldn't get his head around it. A Groat never bares their skin in case it got darker.

Simon sighed, leant over and reached the light switch to turn it off. Turning on his side he fell asleep.

A week later Kaci was sat again on her lifeguard tower. Her 'father' had forced her to return to work the day after the incident. 'Whether you like it or not!' was what he had said, although Kaci hadn't told him it was Simon Camden she had saved that day.

She phoned her friend Kim and told her what happened. Kaci laughed as she remembered the phone conversation they had.

'You gave Simon the kiss of life? Gross!!' was what Kim had said.

'Can't you be a little more supportive?' Kaci pleaded.

'Simon, out of all people!' Kim still didn't believe her.

'I didn't know it was him, I didn't think!'

'If you had known it was him, would you have done what you did?'

There was a short pause on the line before Kaci answered.

'Yeah, I mean what choice do I have?' Kaci pointed out.

'That's true,' Kim reasoned. 'But still, Simon.' she finished, before they both broke out into laughter on both ends of the phone line.

Kaci smiled as she reached the sun lotion, and began rubbing it into her skin. She set it back down, noticing the time on the clock. Her shift was going to be over in five minutes.

About ten minutes later Kaci was in the locker room putting on her sweat clothes over her swimming costume. She slung her hold all over her shoulder, and turned to leave. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Simon standing in the doorway.
