Cinn: MY fave chappie. The longest so far, and LEAST geekist. Anyways R&R.

***********************************************************************

Obvious changes.

When people know you've changed. And you know other people have changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday,

Eng, (first lesson),

Wow, that's all I can say. I hardly recognised him when he walked in this morning. He's dressed completely differently, and looks cool. I mean, who'da guessed?

Ah HA! I have it sussed now. Dan's been teaching him how to be less geek like and more cool. And that was so he could impress me. And I am impressed.

5 minutes later....

Having an English teacher who sits people at the beginning of the register at the back is most defiantly a good thing. I never knew having a geek on your team in a paper fight would be good! All we've said to each other is `hi` but I think I'm beginning to like him a lot more than what I did. And I don't blame myself.

Break,

" You `do` like geek. Almost the whole class noticed the way you were looking at each other in English! "

" SO do not! " And I don't know what you're talking about! "

" You do. Stop lying to yourself! "

" You're one to talk! "

" What's that supposed to mean!?! "

" You never told Kenny how you felt, and haven't told Dan yet. "

" So? Kenny didn't like me in that way then, and Dan doesn't now. "

" He does. "

" Whatever, geek likes you and you like him! "

" Lindz, I do not like geek. "

" You do, just tell me the truth, I told you who I like. "

" I've told you, I don't like him! "

" Fine! "

We both stormed off in opposite directions, and I bumped into Dan and his mates.

" Hi Zoë. "

" Hi Dan. "

" You're still coming to the party tonight ain't ya? "

" Yeah. "

" You seen geek? "

" Not since Eng. "

" Well make sure he comes round tonight. Otherwise there's no point in it. "

" I know, I will. "

" O.K. "

Phys,

Well not one teacher we've had today has recognised Thomas.

Hey Zoë, r u 'n' geek together? - S

SAMMY! NO! - Z

u wanna b tho - S

NOT! - Z

Do! I've known you since 1st grade, I think I'll b able 2 tell by now. - S

O.K. yor right, I do wanna b with him. tell anyone and yor dead! - Z

Knew it! you make a great pair. even if he is a geek. - S

at least someone understands - Z

your welcome - S

Hist,

Geog was funny, but this is boring. We have to sit in silence because we have a substitute teacher. So I'm bored. Well the good thing is I get to sit next to Thomas.

That evening,

" What the.... "

" What? Surprised? "

" To say the least. "

" Here, I'll take your coat. "

Thomas turned to me.

" What's all this about? "

" It's your birthday tomorrow ain't it? "

" Yeah, how'd you know? "

" Did you seriously think we wouldn't find out after 9 years? "

He laughed and the rest of them turned from what they were doing and announced a game of truth or dare. And for the record, I'm not stupid, this'll just be a set up.

1/2 an hour later....

still playing, I'm getting bored now.

" Zoë, truth or dare? "

" Dare. "

they muttered amongst themselves...

" Kiss geek. "

Knew it! I knew they'd be trying to set us up!

" Alright. "

He'd gone to get some food, so I stood and walked up behind him, I turned him round so he was facing me and I kissed him. I could hear the others laughing as I pulled away.

" What the heck was `that` for? "

" My dare. "

" Oh. "

the game carried on for ages, at least another hour. They continued trying to set me 'n' Thomas up. But all I was thinking about was when I kissed Thomas.

By now we'd all changed and gotton into our sleeping bags so we could talk. We were sleeping at Dan's, and we're all known for talking.

We've been talking for about two hours, and we'd now settled down to sleep. I was lying next to Thomas, I rolled over so I was facing him. It surprised me to see that he was staring at me.

" Sorry. " he muttered.

" What for? "

" Staring at you. "

" I don't care. "

" But... "

" But what? "

" But you hate people staring at you. "

" Not you. " I could hardly hear myself when I said that, I mean yeah we were whispering because everyone else was asleep, but that was just inaudible.

" You don't? "

" No. "

A lock of my hair fell in front of my face, and he reached out to tuck it back behind my ear, and all I could do was smile at him.

" Truth be told, I like you a lot, Zoë. "

" I know you do. I know. "

he looked embarrassed, well I can't blame him, he just told me how he felt. I should tell him too. But, it's just... I like him too don't? I should tell him, I know I should. I will.

" I like you too. "

" Really? "

" Yeah, and I cannot believe I just told you that! "

" Me neither. "

I moved myself closer to him and we kissed. It was serious this time, which I guess is what made it better. I'd hate to admit it to anyone, but he is a good kisser. When I pulled back he was gently stroking my neck. I pushed his hand away out of instinct. He just smiled at me. I leaned back towards him to kiss him again.

" OI! Lovebirds! You'll make us puke in a moment! "

" LINDZ! "

" What am I not allowed to listen in on my friends confessions? "

" Bitch! "

" Geek's freak! "

" That's not funny! "

" Tis! "

" shut-up all of you and go to sleep. "

I lay back down again. I couldn't sleep. If I did go to sleep I woke up in the middle of the night to find an arm casually thrown over my sleeping bag. He must have just been movin' in his sleep.

Cinn: Finally. Though I hate to say it, it got a bit obvious didn't it? It was pretty obvious from the truth or dare game announcement they were gonna get together. Biggest set-up chappie in the history of set-up chappies, well that I know of. Well whatever, please review! PLEASE! There is more... Thanks to: -

Richard the pendantic: that eager curiosity was for nothing. I mean this was the most obvious set up from the begining. I think. Thanks for the review. Btw you were right.

SeleneZana: Well, you were right too. I wouldn't say, so I didn't ruin it anymore. But anyways, please review again, and thanks for previous review.
