CHAPTER.4:

DISCLAIMER IN CH.1

A/N: I wrote this in one day, and I still hate Vaughn but I made him a bit nicer but rest assure he's still getting dumped. It a bit short maybe, but this fic coming together fine. I'll probably update soon, if I get reviews. I'm so not beneath begging, as you'll see in the end of this chapter. Crimson Snow, 13.07.2004

"See you tonight, Mom. Good luck on your business trip, Dad. Bye!" Syd yelled, on her way out to where Michael waited in his car.

Syd was dressed in black jeans, a red-ish top and a powder-blue light cardigan. She had left her coat in her locker the day before. She was outside for a split second when she remembered that she was going to return the jacket she took home with her from the movie theater. When she had gotten it, and stepped out she felt that it was a bit cold. So, she slipped the jacket on. She was pretty sure the jacket's owner wouldn't mind.

When she got into the car, she kissed Michael and then started to look through her backpack.

"What are you looking for, Syd?" He asked her, as he backed out of the driveway.

"Earring. It was irritating me yesterday and without really thinking took it out and dropped it into my backpack. It's just that it wasn't mine, it was Mom's and she was looking for them this morning. I am so dead if I don't find the other one." She told him, as she started to take books out of the black backpack and put them on the floor next to her sneaker-clad feet. She just felt like wearing comfy cloathes that day.

Michael looked at her, when they were at a red light, and noticed something interesting. Syd gave a silent 'YES!' when she finally found her Mother's earring at the bottom of the last compartment of her backpack. She then looked up at Michael, and saw him looking at something he found amusing, on the jacket she was wearing.

"I found it. I'm not dead. What?" She asked him, smiling, as the green light came on and he started to drive again.

"That breast-pocket. It has flaming red stitches. The other stitches blend in with the jacket." He told her, his eyes back on the road now. Sydney laughed, and started to put her things back into her backpack.

"Michael, you notice the strangest things. You are so weird. What next? You're going to tell me that my left eye is more brown than my right one?" She joked, still giggling a bit.

"Actually…" He told her, jokingly as he parked in the student parking lot near their high school.

"You're impossible. I'll see you in history?" She asked him, but off course she already knew the answer.

"I don't know, I'll see…" He told her, as they were stepping out of the car. "Off course, what did you think?" He then told her, fake-hurt in face and voice.

She just rolled her eyes, kissed him and walked away.


LUNCH:

"Julian?!" Someone half-yelled at him, as he was on his way to the library. He turned around, and saw Sydney. He looked around to check if there might be another guy close by. You never know, but there wasn't.

"Yeah?" He ask, as she walked closer to him. He didn't first get why she was taking off her jacket and handing it to him, until he saw the red stitches. Then he looked at her confused.

"You forgot it last night. I took it with me. Hope you don't mind that I wore it. I forgot my coat here, in school, yesterday and it was a bit cold this morning." She told him, smiling.

"No, I don't mind. Thanks." He finally told her, and a full-fledged smile was now plastered on his face.

"All right. I have to go. Bye!!" She told him, as she hurried towards the cafeteria. Julian put on his jacket and was on his way to the library when he heard someone ask him from behind;

"Hey, why did Syd give you her jacket?" Michael asked Julian, he had been too far away to hear what his girlfriend and the blondie had been talking about but he knew what he had seen.

"Her jacket? No, it's mine. I forgot it yesterday at the movie theater and she was so nice to return it to me." Julian told Michael, as he walked away.

Wait, movie theater? I thought she had to have dinner with her mom and her mother's friend. And why the HELL was Julian in the movie theater too? Michael taught, as he made his way to the cafeteria to meet up with Syd.
To Be Continued…

Please, review!! I so need it. Need it to write. Just tell me if you liked it or not. Just a "great" or "Okay", etc. Something like that. Great if it can be longer than one word, but I'm not asking for more than that. --- Crimson Snow
