After the weird "date" with Emma, Sean decided that his feelings for Emma might not have changed since they first had gotten together. He knew that getting with Emma was a bad idea.

"Dude, don't worry." Craig assured him. "If things don't work out as friends... well..." Craig looked at Natalia.

"...then you should just get used to being a loner and-"Natalia continued.

"-deal with Emma being in the same school as you." Craig finished.

"But you guys," Sean started, then he saw Emma. Emma walked past Sean, stopped, and then kept going.

"Wow! She does like you." Natalia said. "Especially since a girl just doesn't do that."

"Do what?" Sean asked.

"Stop and keep going." Craig replied.

"I need to get to class." Sean suddenly said.

"Alright class, I have paired you up to work on a website. (Simpson hands out papers.) The website must be about you and your partner. It's a fairly simple website. Likes and dislikes. Common interests. Things like that." Sean looked at his paper. Emma Nelson was next to partner. He looked at Natalia. Her partner was Craig. Of course, Sean thought to himself.

(Sean, are you comfortable with us being partners? -Em-) A message came on Sean's screen.

(Emma, I guess. It doesn't matter. –Sean-)

(Can you meet me after school at my house? –Em-)

(Sure. Whatever.) Emma looked behind her at her first love. Sean just sat there. The rest of the class everyone made plans for the project.

After school, Sean walked over to Emma Nelson's home. It suddenly felt just like yesterday that he was coming over for dinner with Emma and her parents.

Sean knocked on the door hoping Emma's mom wouldn't answer. He looked down at the newly painted porch.

"Hey Sean, nice to see you again." Spike said when she saw Sean at the door.

"You too Ms. Simpson." Sean tried to smile. He looked up and saw Emma wearing a nice outfit. It reminded him of their first date a couple years ago.

"Hey Sean. Mom, we're going to go up and do the project in my room." Emma said noticing her mom blocking Sean's entrance.

"Okay. Have fun." Spike said with a huge smile.

"Sorry about that." Emma said when they reached her room. It was different from the last time Sean was there. Bigger maybe?

"So, uh, the project." Sean said after a moment of awkward silence.

"Yeah." Emma agreed. She turned the computer on and waited for it to load. Her fingernails were blue, like the color of her eyes. Sean shook his head and tried to snap out of it. His eyes met hers. Emma reached for a pencil and dropped it. Sean and Emma both went for it. Their hands touched and their mouths were close. Emma leaned in more. For a kiss? Sean tried to concentrate on something else. He looked down. Oops! That's her shirt... it's open. Sean got up.

"Sean, what's wrong?" Emma asked.

"We can't do this. Not again." Sean said. He started to leave.

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why can't we 'do this'?" Emma asked.

"I just... I don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't think being together or friends is going to help our feelings." He started out the door. "I don't think we should be friends or be partners. I'm sorry." He left. Emma ran after him.

"So you're saying you just want to be friends?"

"Yeah."
