They were at Miss Quann's class the next day.

"Gavin, please come up and read your poem." Miss Quann glanced at Spinner disinterestedly.

Spinner got up rather nervously and held out a crumpled piece of paper. Holding it in front of him, he started to speak, his eyes traveling across the paper quickly.

"Hold me tighter, little angel, Sent to me from above. Don't let me fall, straight to the ground, Ensnare me with your love.

Wings of wide, Heart of broad, Bring me closer!

Hold me tighter, Little angel..."

He paused and stared straight at Emma for what seemed to her like a very long moment. Then the class burst into applause.

"Gavin, I didn't know that you were such a romantic." Miss Quann giggled.

When Emma was called up to read her poem, Spinner's eyes never left hers. When she finished, he seemed to be trying not to blush as she looked at him curiously. Shrugging, she headed out the door with the rest of the class. Spinner put a hand on her shoulder and she turned around, smiling.

"Do you need something, Spinner?"

He handed her a note which was folded up, and then he sprinted down the hall. Scratching her head, she whispered the words to herself.

"Dear little angel, You have ensnared me with your love. Do you feel the same? Bring me closer. Youa re brilliant at writing poems. I also wanted to apologize for grabbing at your paper last night... Would you come and sit with me at lunch today?

Love, Spinner

P.S. If you didn't figure this out already, I'm asking you out. :P"

She laughed, going over the hastily-written letter over and over. She clutched it to her chest and sighed.

At lunch, she quickly got her tray and plopped down by Spinner. He was blushing and avoided her eyes.

"Hey, Spinner. That was a really sweet note."

He continued to blush. She put her head on his shoulder and whispered into his ear,

"You're not the only one ensnared by love."

Meanwhile, Craig was sitting at a table in the corner. Alone. He received scowls from all of the faces that he recently considered friendly, and when Manny and Ashley passed they mouthed insults at him. Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair. He looked at his empty tray and stood. He left the lunch room and ran into the boy's bathroom. There he slumped against the wall. His shoulders shook and his body was racked with sobs. He stayed there quietly until the lunch bell rang, which at the time he put his mental pieces back together and headed back to class to endure more of the painful scowls.
