DLN: O.O As usual I am astounded by the large amount of reviews, hehehe. And as usual, I am very grateful! Hands everyone a cookie Yes, cookies are very good. Depends on if you like them or not though... Now I said I would try to update quickly but yet again laziness keeps pursuing me. Why? Why? Why must laziness follow me? o.O Again, sorry for the long wait. Notes to my reviewers who I hope will support me. Every one of you mean so much to me! XD

Diamond Core: Yup, you will never know the truth about ze letters! MWAHAHAHA! Kidding! Of course, you'll find out...when it's the right time. Tara will find her confidence soon enough, hehehe. I do that laugh too much, lol. o.O

Xx Shadow Wolf xX2: I'm glad you enjoyed that chapter! As you know, I have a problem with writing quickly, but I'll try harder to get out of that habit.

Nami Kahaku Kai's GF: Um, you want me to make the notes to you longer? Because I think that's what you're suggesting. Sorry I'm confused, what do you mean the cream in the Oreo? o.O Also, just wait to see who the admirer is. Hope you enjoy this chapter!

padfootop: Yes, everyone's wondering who the secret admirer is, lol. All I'm answering is, wait and see.

the effect: Yeah, I was going to let Rei have a crush on someone. I think your suggesting that it should be yaoi? Well I'm sorry but I'm keeping this a straight story. If you want to see a Rei/ Kai pairing then there's my other fic, Dark Memories, but meh! That's just what I'm thinking, lol.

New Moon Night: Tala was harsh but I didn't want to make him out of character. Lol, that comment is so funny. Isn't it in the show? I stopped watching it for a week because they took it off. Sigh Anyway, I'm also glad you're not forcing me to update!

Hilary's P.O.V (I like starting it off at lunchtime )

When the class was over, Haley and I shot out of the room and ran to the cafeteria. We dumped out stuff on our usual table, and joined the hot-lunch line.

"I wonder what it is today." Haley wondered, breathing deeply. "Smells like dead rats frying in candle wax."

"Haley!" I scolded. "That's disgusting. What is it really?"

Haley stood on tiptoe, trying to see over the top of kid's heads. She jumped up and down a few times. She turned to stare at me for a few moments, then opened her mouth to speak. "I don't know." She said finally, scrunching up her nose, while I gave a sigh of annoyance. "Maybe macaroni and cheese. I can't really see."

She was right. It was macaroni and cheese. Plus a mini bowl of carrots, and a cup of fresh, or not so fresh, orange juice.

When we got back to our table, Tika and Mandy had been not far behind us in the line, and Tara was already there. So as soon as we settled down, Mandy asked abruptly, "Where's Xanny?"

At the moment, a girl with dirty blond hair and green eyes plopped at one of the seats at the table. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. The annoying French teacher kept me." She gave a long sigh, and unpacked her lunch.

"So did you enjoy your trip?" I asked, Alex who was struggling to unzip her bag.

"It was probably very enjoyable. She's probably happy." Tika answered.

"Happiness walks on busy feet." Tara stated. "By Kitte Turmell."

"Ha!" Xanny grinned. "I missed Tara's wild quotes. Where does she get this stuff." She laughed and punched Tika playfully on the arm.

"Remind me why I missed you, again?" Tika mumbled.

"Because you all love me." Alex cried, hugging Mandy almost choking her to death.

"Oh!" Haley blurted out. "Did I tell you guys?"

"What?" Mandy, Tika, Alex, and Tara chorused.

"Hilary has a crush!" Haley grinned from ear to ear, waving her hands wildly, while I sank lower and lower into my seat, completely embarrassed.

"Really? Who is it?" Tika asked.

"Another new kid! His name's Jason!" Haley replied, proudly.

"Why are you proud, Haley?" Mandy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't know." Haley answered, scratching her forehead.

"Bet he's not as cute as the other new boy..." Tara said, softly.

"What's that you say?" Xanny asked, nudging Tara.

"Er...nothing..." Tara protested.

"Well, Hilary, are you going to try and ask him out on a date?" Haley comically raised her eyebrows up and down.

"I don't know." I shook my head. "Don't forget what happened the last time I tried asking someone out. I don't think I could survive another disaster like that one."

A while ago, I had actually worked up the courage to ask the last guy I had a crush out on a date. But I had been so nervous, I'd completely messed up. The guy I had a crush on asked someone out instead. The girl standing right next to me. It was one of the worst moments of my life.

"It won't be like last time." Tika assured her.

"That's right." Mandy agreed. "He would probably like you. Who could resist your charm." Mandy giggled.

"You should ask, Hil." Alex urged. "You almost asked out the last one."

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?" Tara nodded. "Try and listen to the words of Vincent Van Gogh."

I smiled at my friend's encouragement. It was great to have them around to give advice. "I could ask Jason out..." I started. "But if you think he likes me, then why hasn't he asked me yet?"

"Maybe you have to make the first move." Haley suggested.

"Maybe. Or maybe this isn't the right time to ask him out." I said.

"Maybe you're just making up excuses." Mandy teased.

I sighed. "Okay." I finally gave in. It was no use arguing with my friends when they had their mind made up. "Why don't I ask him to go to the movies this Saturday night?"

"That would be a great idea!" Tika grinned.

"The most important key to achieving great goals is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, and move!" Tara proclaimed.

Just then, there was a commotion in the line ahead of them. I then saw a flash of pink. (No, I'm not making fun of it, although I hate this colour, no offense. ) A loud, high-pitched voice ordered some kids to step aside.

"Daisy! Can you believe her?" Mandy shook her head. "She thinks she can cut in line whenever and wherever she wants. She thinks she runs this school or something."

I strained my neck to see what Daisy was up to this time. "Oh no!" I cried. "Daisy's cut in line. Right in front of Jason!" I knew that Daisy would always go after every cute new boy that didn't seem like they were interested in anyone. But just because Jason never asked her on a date yet, (other then the reason he's new) doesn't mean he wouldn't...someday. Daisy was sort of pretty but also pushy. "That's it!" I exclaimed. "No way is this going to happen a second time. If daisy can cut in line, so can I."

"Way to go, Hil!" Alex cried.

"Go for your man!" Tika cheered.

I slipped off my table seat and walked up to Jason and Daisy. Luckily, Jason was standing right in front of Wilma Sims. I knew Wilma pretty well. Last year they were in a couple of classes together. "Can I borrow this spot for a second?" I asked Wilma.

"Sure." Wilma replied. "If I didn't have to eat, I'd let you have it forever." Wilma made room and I slipped into line right behind Jason.

I was about three inches away from him. I took a deep breath. "Okay, it's now or never, Hilary." I told myself. "You can do it!" I reached out my hand. "I can't believe I'm about to touch Jason on the back." I thought, almost giggling. I cleared my throat. "Uh..." I began.

"Hey, Jason." Daisy suddenly said. "What are you doing this weekend?"

It has happened again! My mouth dropped open, but no sound came out. Quickly, I clamped her mouth shut. "This is like a curse." I thought. "Everytime I try to ask someone out, another girl gets there first."

I slipped out of the line and headed straight for the cafeteria doors. I slipped out of line and headed straight for the cafeteria doors. I was leaving, and fast. I would have to explain to my friends later. No way could she spend a single moment more in the cafeteria. Not when Daisy was busy planning a date with Jason. A date that could have been hers!

In Language Class

Hilary's P.O.V

During the middle of language class, Haley passed me a note. I opened it under the cover of my spelling book. Haley was watching me with that sly look on her face she sometimes gets.

The note said: Dear Hilary, why did you run out of the cafeteria? Signed, your worried sick best friend, Haley.

I sighed, and wrote back to her. The rest of our passing notes went like this.

Dear Haley, sorry I ducked out on you guys. I just couldn't talk about what happened in the cafeteria. I don't even want to think about it.

Dear Hilary, You seem to have pretty bad luck when it comes to talking to guys...

Dear Haley, Ha-ha. I should probably stop hoping that I'll ever go out with him, though...

Dear Hilary, Maybe he'll ask you out.

Dear Haley, It doesn't look like that's ever going to happen.

Dear Hilary, wait a minute. I thought you were just waiting for the right moment to ask him yourself.

Dear Haley, sure. Only the right moment will never come if Daisy keeps asking him out first.

Dear Hilary, I have an idea. This will cheer you up. Why don't the three of us go to your house and pig out on junk food this Saturday night!

Dear Haley, that could be fun. Okay, then.

Dear Hilary, Great! Say, why are we writing that "dear" stuff. It's so annoying!

Dear Haley, Don't know. But at least I feel better about tomorrow.

Dear Hilary, What do you mean?

Dear Haley, there's no way tomorrow could be any worse then today.

Dear Hilary, you always say that...

Dear Haley, aw, shut up.

Next Day

Hilary's P.O.V (the rest of the chapter will be in her point of view, but I just like doing this. )

As the bell rang in homeroom class, I rushed over to my science class, where my friends and me would be meeting. I was out of breath by the time I reached the doorway.

"We've been dying for you to get here!" Mandy cried. "I have the best news!"

"You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it." Added Tara.

"Yes, sorry I'm late. But the best news would be a surprise holiday." I joked. "So this must be the second-best news."

"I don't think so." Alex grinned.

"It's definitely the best." Finished Tika.

Mandy took a deep breath. "On the bus this morning, I heard Christina, Daisy's new follower, tell Loraine that Daisy asked Jason to her house on Friday night."

I gulped. "That's supposed to be good news?" I shook my head. "I thought you guys were my friends."

"We are!" Alex cried.

"Jason responded in denial!" Tara practically shouted.

"As in no way, not a chance, uh-uh, no thanks." Haley chanted.

"Okay, okay." I laughed. "I get the picture. But did you guys ever think of this? What if Jason said no because he had plans with someone else?"

"He's not dating anyone at this school." Mandy insisted.

"There's only one way to find out." Tika said.

"Ask and thy will receive an answer." Tara poked Hilary on the arm.

I blinked and lowered my voice. "Are you kidding? After what happened yesterday?"

"Come on, Hil." Alex urged. "You have to do it. What if he told Daisy no because he's waiting for an invitation?"

"No way." I exclaimed. "No way am I asking Jason..."

"Asking me what?" A confused voice asked.

I froze. Jason was standing right in front of me. "Jason!" I swallowed hard.

"Ask him." Haley whispered.

"It's now or never." Tara agreed.

"Did you want to ask me something?" Jason stared at me.

"Oh...um...yeah, I wanted to ask you about..." I stopped in mid-sentence as the bell rang. "Oh that's the bell! Better get inside class." I laughed nervously, dashed inside class, and sat down at the nearest seat. I gave a sigh of relief as my friends gave me a look that said, "I can't believe you just did that."

Moments later, our science teacher came in and sat behind his desk. Mr. Himori smiled at his science class from behind his desk. "I have great news!"

Some of the kids groaned and I knew exactly how they felt. You would never be sure what Mr. Himori would consider "great." Once he had gotten excited over a boring movie about plants. But another time, he brought us to an amazing planetarium.

I slid back in my seat. I would just have to wait and see what Mr. Himori had in mind this time.

The grumbling didn't seem to bother Mr. Himori. He was still smiling as he said, "Remember when I talked about that big science project?"

Everyone nodded. Well everyone except Tyson Kinomiya. His head didn't even move an inch. I guessed he wasn't listening.

"Well this will be a big percentage of your final grades." Mr. Himori continued, as everyone groaned again. "I will be pairing you up this tie, seeing that the last time I let you pick your partners things didn't go too well. Now I'm picked this from who I saw would help each other succeed a better mark."

"That means a dumb person would go with a smart one." A girl named Amy whispered to another girl named Cindy, as they both giggled.

Mr. Himori cleared his throat. "Now here are the partners." He took out a sheet of paper.

"Kai and Tika."

"Mary and Amy."

"Cherry and Ronald."

"Faith and Chris."

"Rei and Alex."

"Sharon and Alice."

"Max and Mandy."

"Karen and Mark."

"Jane and Barbara."

"Kristy and Sam."

"Tala and Tara."

"Felix and Arnold."

"Patrick and Leo."

"Susan and Nico."

"Hilary and..."

"Please be Jason." I mumbled, closing my eyes. "Please be Jason." I crossed all my fingers and toes.

"Tyson...."

"What!" I snapped my eyes opened. "I'm...I...I'm PAIRED WITH HIM!" I shrieked pointing at Tyson, who looked as shocked as me.

DLN: There! I'm finally finished! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! There will be an interesting twist in the next chapter, so I'll try and write. I really will try. It won't be a long update as last time. I promise. Well hope you enjoyed this chapter! Bye for now!
