Chapter 4

The rest of the day had gone quite quickly. After the chemistry lesson had finished, Sydney told Vaughn that she would meet him at the front of the school, at the end of the day. Then she had walked to her next lesson with Francie and he had left with Weiss. He was glad that they were going to walk home together, because he was new to the area so he wasn't entirely sure where he was going. Also he was glad of the extra time which he would get to spend with Syd. As soon as the school bell rang, Vaughn said goodbye to Weiss and then headed to his locker. He deposited the books, which he wouldn't need for his homework, and made his way to the front of the school to meet Sydney.

Sydney was sitting on the wall at the front of the school waiting for Vaughn to come out. The sky was clear with the odd white fluffy cloud floating by. She was sitting there patiently waiting, when somebody came behind her and covered her eyes. Taken by surprise, she gasped.

"Guess who?" The mystery person said. Once they had spoken, she could tell who it was.

"Erm...Danny?" She guessed, even though she already knew the answer. Removing his hands from her face, he sat down on the wall next to her. "Hey beautiful." He kissed her on the lips.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had football practise?" She asked.

"I have. I'm just waiting for Cole and Leo. What about you? Why are you sitting out here?" He took hold of her hand, entwining their fingers together while he waited for his answer.

"I'm waiting for someone too!" She said. She knew that she was doing nothing wrong by waiting for Michael, so she didn't see any point in hiding it from him. Looking over Danny's shoulder, she saw the person who she was waiting for. "Oh, here he comes!" She stood up, removing her hand form Danny's and picked up her bag.

"He's a he?" Danny asked, turning around to see the new kid walking towards them. Sydney heard his comment, but she chose to ignore it.

"Hey Vaughn." She smiled at him, as he walked over to them. "Hey." He replied, smiling at her, and then looking at Danny. Danny remained silent just staring at Michael. She could tell the Vaughn was uncomfortable by the looks, which he was receiving from Danny, so she decided that it was time that they left. "Are you ready to go?" She asked Vaughn." "Sure." He nodded at her.

"We're walking home together, so I'll see you later..."She quickly kissed him on the cheek. "Have fun at practise." She smiled at him, and then her and Michael walked away, leaving Danny staring jealously at them. Once they were out of his hearing range, Syd began talking.

"I'm sorry for Danny acting the way he does. I guess he's just a bit territorial." She shrugged, hoping that he would accept her apology. She hated the way Danny was around Vaughn, it wasn't fair on him.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure I'd be like that if you were my girlfriend." He smiled. Sydney wasn't sure if he meant the last part of his sentence or if he was just saying it to make her feel better. But she sure liked the way it sounded. If you were my girlfriend. She blushed slightly, smiling.

"So how was you first day at Kennedy High?" Syd asked. It amazed her how comfortable she felt just walking along with him.

"It was great. I think I'm really gonna like it here."

"That's good." They walked in silence for a couple of minutes.

"Do you normally walk home alone?" He asked. He began wondering whether their walking home together would be a frequent thing, or if it was just this one time.

"Oh no. I usually walk with Piper, Phoebe and Paige. They only leave about a block away. But I'm sure that they're managing to walk home without me tonight." She laughed before stopping in the middle of the street. "Hey, do you have plans this Saturday?"

He stopped and stood facing her. "No I don't." A huge smile spread across her face. "Great." She carried on walking, with Vaughn running to keep up. "Wait...are you not gonna tell me why?" he asked jokingly. Sydney thought for a minute, "No." She laughed at the look on his face. He's so cute when he's confused. His forehead wrinkled, as he didn't quite understand. Finally his look of confusion got too much for her. "You'll find out soon." She said winking at him. "Okay then." He couldn't believe that he might actually have plans for Saturday night with Sydney Bristow. I wonder what Eric will think of this.

They finally arrived at Sydney's street. "Well...I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked admiring just how hot he was. "You sure will." "Bye Vaughn." She did something, which managed to surprise both of them. She lent forward and gave him a hug, which he seemed gratefully to receive. They broke apart and Sydney began to walk down the street towards her house. "Bye Syd!" He called after her. Michael stood for a minute just watching her, and then he started walking home to his new house.

"Hey mom, I'm home." Sydney called as she entered the house. Since her parents had split, she lived most of the time at her mom's house, with the occasional weekend and weeknight at her father's. Placing her bag down on the floor, she walked into the kitchen to find her mom cooking dinner.

"Hey sweetheart." She kissed her daughter on the forehead.

"Hmmm. Dinner smells lovely." Sydney said as the aroma of her mother's cooking filled the room. "Thanks. How was school?"

"It was ok. I met someone today." Her mother stopped what she was doing and turned to face her daughter, giving her all her attention. "His name is Michael Vaughn, he just moved her from Paris." She said. Irina could tell that her daughter really liked this guy by the way her eyes lit up as she said his name. "So when do I get to meet this guy?" Irina asked excitedly.

"Oh, erm...I don't know. He's probably in one of your classes, but if not maybe one day after school?" Sydney shrugged. She liked the thought of bringing Vaughn back over to her house, but she knew that Danny wouldn't like it.

"That sounds great dear." Sydney picked up the phone. "I've just gotta make a call mom." She walked up to her room as she was dialling the numbers.

Hello? Hey Leo! Listen I have a really big favour that I need to ask you.
