Yes I am back and I know I am soooo bad with updates, well I am now in gr12 and its killing me! And I've only done 1 term of it so far – ahhhh! Lol so I'm on holidays now which is why I am finally updating, I am still working on chapter 7 of 'When I see you Smiling', its definitely in the works I'm almost finished it actually but its quite short so I may make it longer and update later or just update it so you guys will have it. Anyways I also have another story idea churning in my head – I think it'll be good if I ever get around to writing it. Lol.

And now I feel compelled to send a hello to the lovely people at channel 7 in hopes that they will put season 4 of Alias on earlier then they plan to (hello half way through the year! Do you really think I can keep waiting!). Plz Plz the Aussie Alias fans beg you!

Ok and if I ever go comatose again and never update – KEEP BUGGING ME! I SWEAR IF YOU DO I WILL UPDATE – NEVER QUIT BUGGING ME ABOUT UPDATING – POST MULTIPLE REVIEWS IF YOU HAVE TO – I DEFINITELY NEED PPL TO PUSH ME.

I will stop my ramblings here is chapter 6, I really hope you like it –

Chapter 6

Whispers were heard as the pair walked onto the front steps of their school hand in hand.

"I think they know" Michael whispered into his girlfriends' ear

"My guess the whole school will know by 3rd period"

"How long until it reaches Will?"

"Homeroom"

"How do you know?"

"I've been here a lot longer than you, I know how the gossip line goes"

"Oh, should we give these people a show to talk about?"

Syd smiled as she reached up to kiss him, blushing once the lack of air ceased the kiss.

"Syd!" Francie yelled from the end of the hall

"I'll see you in homeroom then" Michael said leaning down to give her a peck on the lips.

"Bye" Syd replied

"Hey Syd, so it looks like its true?"

"Gossip line working overtime?" Syd asked

"Triple time more like it, I found out last night, where was the always anticipated best friend phone call last night?"

"Dinner with Emily and Arvin, fight with dad last night and this morning"

"So he was actually there for more than 6 hours"

"Unfortunately"

"I feel your pain, now onto the more important stuff, dish out the goss I was supposed to hear last night"

Syd started laughing, "Ok" they started talking excitedly about yesterday's events.

"Here it goes" Syd said to her boyfriend as they walked into room 124

"We've got nothing to be worried about"

"That's easy for you to say, you're new here, I have the cheerleaders to deal with," she said unhappily

"Yes, I'm a lucky guy I get to date the most popular girl in the school"

"Shut up don't ever say that to me again"

Michael just looked at her with a twinkle in his eye

"Ugh, fine I give up, I can't fight when I have to look into your green eyes"

Michael just grinned

"Stop it! That is soooo not fair"

A crackle stopped their little game; the morning announcements were about to start

"Syd"

"Oh, hey Will"

"Um, I'm supposed to come and get you for the announcements"

"Sure yeh, I remember"

The pair continued down the hall, an uncomfortable silence filling the air

"So, you and Michael huh?"

"Yeh, uh Will, I should have told you before everyone else found out, but"

"I get it the gossip line ran too fast today, I mean we weren't together or anything, I'm happy for you"

"Really?"

"Yeh Syd, you're a great friend and you deserve someone who makes you happy, he does make you happy?"

"More than ever"

"And you know that if he ever does anything to you, I'll always be here"

"Thanks Will, you have know idea how much it means to me that your cool about me and Michael and that I know that we can still be good friends because I would never want to lose our friendship."

"I really care about you Syd, nothing about that is ever going to change"

"So we can't wait to see all of you guys at the tryouts this afternoon!" Syd announced to the awaiting crowd

"Remember anyone can tryout" Will followed on

As the principle walked to the microphone Will & Syd sat in their respective seats

"I think that went well"

"Yeh, but I think they all wanted to see you do a split"

"Don't start with the skirt length"

"I still think that they're not short enough"

"Shut up Will" Syd enjoyed the ease of their playful banter, it meant that Will was truly ok with her being with Michael, she could always tell what Will was feeling because of their long friendship and their closeness.

"Fine, I think the witch is glaring at us"

"That's because we're on stage"

"At least they can't hear us"

"Very good indeed"

"Uh Syd, I heard that Mike is trying out for quarterback, is that true?"

"Yeh" She said quietly

"Who do you want to get it?"

"I don't know?"

"Michael?"

"Please don't make me try and pick between the two of you, it wasn't easy to do the first time, because I never ever want to hurt you"

"So?"

"I'll cheer equally hard for both of you" Syd said firmly, halting their conversation

"Ok" Why do I have to love my best friend, when she loves someone else and will never have the same feelings for me as I have for her?

Once again I am from Australia where we do not have cheerleaders or jocks. Everyone plays sport on a Friday afternoon at the same time, there are no cheerleaders to cheer people, at my school (private school) we have sports fields for, touch footy, soccer, grass hockey, rugby union and P.E sports, a state of the art outdoor basketball, netball & tennis court. But not all schools have these so yeh we verse other schools every week but its not a major thing and we don't have pep rally's or anything like that. So I have no first hand knowledge of cheerleaders or jocks or anything like that so I am basing the cheerleaders on the movie 'bring it on'. Syd is like Torrance and I will develop other characters to be like Courtney and Whitney and Big Red.

Like it? Hate it? Review tell me! I LOVE reviews!

Chapter 7 – Shirts off! Footy tryouts!

Chapter 8 – hmmm that's a surprise but I will be asking you guys to help me… lots of secrecy just keep reading and you can help make this story how you want it.
