A/N: I think I know where this story is going... Just a few more chapters. Remember to Review, tell me what you think. I know this is slightly odd, but its 2:00 in the morning, insomnia has hit me hard. By the way, this is set in the 2nd week of January...

"Simon!" James (Simon's best friend) frantically called, trying to catch up. "How was Christmas break?" he lowered his voice. "Did you talk to Deena, at all?"

Simon sighed; his good mood was quickly vanishing. "No, I spent most of the break camping with my family."

"Poor you." James smiled sympathetically.

"No," Simon told his friend "Actually I had quite a lot of fun. Everything was so calm and peaceful up there."

James shook his head in disbelief. "Must have been some place, you've practically been the living dead ever since Deena turned you down."

"I think I just really needed a break." Simon commented.

"So you think you're getting over her?" James asked his friend, as they walked into their study hall and sat down beside each other to continue their conversation.

"Definitely not." Simon raked his fingers through his dark blonde hair. "I just needed to forget for awhile, calm down a bit, you know?"

"Yeah, you were pretty intense these last few weeks." James admitted "It's nice to hear you say you're back to normal."

Simon laughed sadly and was about to say something until he noticed a slender figure slowly entering the room- it was Deena Thayer. As soon as he saw her, a smile broke out on his face. She had that effect on him. He noticed though, that she was even tinier and more fragile now then the last time he saw her, a few days before the break. And here was something in her eyes he couldn't quite decipher.

Deena felt her heart race but she quickly told herself to stop it. She shut her eyes tightly, trying desperately to control her emotions. She decided that it couldn't possibly hurt to return the smile. Little did she know; she had made Simon's entire day. The small gesture had made his heart race with joy.

Simon waited for her to sit down with her small group of friends. "Did you see that?! Did you see that?!" He exclaimed excitedly, slapping James's arm.

"Yeah, I did." James stared at his friend. "But it's only a smile, calm down..."

"How can I? She smiled at me!" Simon's heart was still racing at the memory of the simple smile.

"Wow," James muttered "You are insane over this girl. Why not ask her out for valentines?"

"But her parents-" Simon argued.

"Surely, they'll allow her to go out for valentines!" James assured his friend "And besides, it's more than a month away. That's enough time for her to study."

"Maybe, you're right..." Simon said, getting even more excited.

James smiled at his love struck friend. "Of course I am."

"I'm going to ask her out next week!" Simon said firmly.

One tiny smile

Is bound to warm my heart for quite awhile

What more a kiss?

Ah! That would be pure bliss!

A/N: This is short, I know. But its sort of like a transition chapter... Please tell me what you think.
