A/N - Yay! Getting it up before I wanted to! More rambling from me afterwards.. Onto the story!

Last night was AWESOME! It was so much fun! But before I go into that, school time!
Because of the snow, we had a delayed opening, which mean ninety more minutes of glorious SLEEP! WooHoo!
Car ride to school = YUMMY... Waking up to Spot's morning kiss is a great way to start the day, ain't it?
Anywho, school was basically a waste. The teachers did nothing, because the periods are shorter, so any test or quiz I had was postponed til Monday. They gave us all free periods, which rocks.
Lunch was great though. Because of the shortened periods, Spot was like, "Get your asses to my car NOW or I leave without you!" So we're all running (might I add running on ice) and Skitts lost his footing and fell, hard. We started cracking up, as well as everyone else in the parking lot at the time. And we laughed harder when he slipped again trying to get up.
Then, BK. We were all talking about Blink's shindig that night. Spot squeezed my hand under the table in anticipation. Both of us still had no clue how we were gonna tell everyone and what their reactions would be. But considering how they acted toward me, Specs, and Dutchy, there was no worry. Before we knew it, we had to get back to school.
The only other notable thing about school was that now Citta has a life- size cutout of Legolas standing next to his pink podium. [1] So now I will spend that period going back and forth between oogling Legolas and oogling Spot... hehe...
Then, car ride home... Need I say more? I didn't want to go to my house so I didn't. Me and Spot spent a lot of 'quality time' together in his room. (For all you sick, perverted minds out there, all we did was make out.. A lot...) Then we tried to figure out how we should come out at the party. We finally agreed that we should just walk in together, holding hands, and see if anyone notices.
We lost track of time, and realized it was almost nine, when the party started at seven thirty. As we pulled to a spot in front of Blink's house, Spot got nervous.
"Race... I don't think I can do this."
"Spot, don't worry! It will be fine. They really don't care."
"I know... but.. It's me! I'm the guy that had a different girl each week! What will they say about that?"
"They definitely will be shocked, but they'll get over it. Come on, let's go in."
Spot reluctantly unbuckled his seat belt as I got out of the care. We walked up to the door and walked in. Everyone was down in the basement so we looked at each other, squeezed hands, and started down the stairs.
As we walked down, I could see that everyone was basically there. Of course Blink was there, but also Jack, Skitts, Mush, Specs, Dutchy, Snitch, Itey, Pie, and Bumlets. Plus there was the girls. Crosser, Curly, Mush's girlfriend Poker, and Blink's girl Erika. When my eyes fell on the last girl, I froze on the stairs. No, it wasn't Braids, but it was Bambi. I took a quick glance at Spot, who was once again unreadable.
"Hey everyone!" I shouted as we entered the room.
"Hey look! Guess who decided to show up?" Blink greeted us.
"Better late than nev-" Jack never finished his sentence. I knew without looking why. When I did look, just as I had guessed, he was staring at our hands.
"Jack? Earth to Jack!" Blink said, waving his hand in front of Jack's eyes. "Come back to Earth, Jack. What's wrong?"
"What?" Jack said, breaking out of his trance. "Huh? What'd you say?"
"Why'd ya just stop in the middle of your sentence?"
Jack looked back and forth between us and Blink for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. Just as he was about to speak, Spot of all people spoke up.
"I think he stopped because he saw this." Spot said quietly, picking up our hands a little bit.
Everyone's faces were priceless. True, it was deathly silent and awkward, but still. Their mouth dropped practically to the floor and everyone was silent for a least a minute.
"Say something guys. Anything..." I pleaded.
"Um... Congratulations... I know he's a good kisser!" Poker said, winking at me, as Mush gave her a playful shove. That made me smile. I had forgotten she was one of Spot's girls a while back.
"Wow. Never woulda thought Spot would turn to the 'dark side.' But hey, I never thought I would either!" Dutchy said, laughing.
Spot gave my hand yet another squeeze as everyone warmed up to the idea of Spot and me together. They started asking us questions about how it happened and everything like that. What they really got a kick out of was how Spot's mom saw us Thursday in the snow.
It got a little frustrating, though, when Bambi came up to us when we were sitting on the couch.
"So, Spot... Has all our make-out sessions meant nothing to you?" She said as she straddled him on the chair. "Does this mean nothing?"
With that, she bent down and started kissing him forcefully, with me sitting right next to him! I wanted to shoot that girl! Spot apparently did too, as he shoved her off.
"Bambi, I'm sorry honey.. I just.. I'm with Race now."
I smirked at her as she stalked off, humiliated.
By the end of the night, nobody really even noticed that we were cuddling together and holding hands. I'm so glad my friends aren't asses like the rest of the school. I'm glad they see that me and Spot are the same people they became friends with back in freshman year.
Well I guess that's about it. I'll write more later, I promise!
