Katie sat down and switched on her computer. It had been just over a week since the school concert, and so much had changed. Freddy and Katie were now going out, and they were very close to Summer and Zack. They had made friends with Lawrence, too, and had re-started the band.
They had renamed it, as they didn't feel it was still School of Rock without Dewey. All the band wrote songs, and they could tell each other exactly what they thought about them, and no one would be hurt. The band was now called School's Still Rockin', in memory of the original. Katie had been living the past week in a blur of happiness. She had a boyfriend, best friends, and she was doing what she loved best – playing in a band. She never could've believed she would be this happy again.
She logged onto AIM. Freddy said hi to her, as usual.
GoinDown: hey, Katie, what's up?
SilentButCool: lol.
GoinDown: what was that for?
SilentButCool: just remembering the last time you said that to me. So much has changed since then. Me and you, for example.
GoinDown: yeah...I remember how you said 'why are you talking to me?' and I felt so sad, because even then I liked you so much. I just thought that my life had gone so wrong, because I liked you and you hated me.
SilentButCool: and look at us now! We've been going out for a week, and haven't argued once!
GoinDown: uh, Katie? There was that time where we had the argument over pancakes, then the one with my phone, then the one over driving...
SilentButCool: ok, ok! But we haven't had any MAJOR fights.
GoinDown: you make me smile. Katie?
SilentButCool: yes?
GoinDown: I love you.
SilentButCool: I love you too.
