Classes dragged on forever as Hamilton couldn't wait for the day to end. After his last lesson – biology – he raced home to put the plan he'd been thinking about all day into action.
Soon it was all ready. He grabbed everything he'd been preparing for the last 2 hours and walked outside, heading towards Jake's' room.
She better appreciate this! he thought sourly as yet another group of boys walked past and exchanged "gay" jokes. It's so not funny!
He knocked softly on her door, then entered, ignoring the Mombled "Go 'way." from within.
She sat on her bed, (where else?!?!), head resting dejectedly on her hands, staring out the window. Although she moved her head when he walked across the room, her eyes remained fixed on the pale clouds outside. When he didn't say anything, she reluctantly twisted her eyes to meet his. As their gazes locked, Hamilton smiled in spite of himself. Even when she's so angry and sad, he thought, she still looks beautiful.
Jake's' thoughts where far from happy. This is killing me! I haven't touched him for so long, and now he's here I think I'm going to suffocate! She tried to smile, then promptly burst into tears.
Hamilton watched the girl he loved sob uncontrollably for several minutes before dumping the load he was carrying, walking over to her and wrapping her up in his strong arms. "I love you. It's OK. It'll all be OK. I love you." He rocked Jake back and forth in his arms, as the sunlight faded and the ice cream he'd put in the basket for dessert melted and trickled out onto the floor.
