Olivia was feeling great, the day before had been great. Luke was great, he took her out to eat, they went to his place and watched T.V., and then he drove her home. He was always so nice to her. He wanted to go out again that day, but Olivia said she had to go to school. She didn't want to make George even more angry then he already was at her. She walked down the halls with confidence, feeling on top of the world. Finally seeing George she ran over to him and hugged him tightly.

"So you had fun?" George said, hugging her back quickly.

"Yes, I did," Olivia smiled widely, George tried to look angry with her, but when she smiled like that, he couldn't.

"I hope you're staying in school today then," George said.

"Today, yes," Olivia said.

George looked at her sternly, "Olivia, you can't skip. You're better than that."

"Now you're mad at me again," Olivia pouted, giving her puppy dog face.

"I don't get mad at you Olivia, I get disappointed," George said, walking with her to their first class.

"You know, you're going to be a great dad, you already talk like one," Olivia said, not paying attention to where she was going and bumping right into an upper classman.

Elliot Stabler dropped all of the books he was carrying on the floor and swore underneath his breath.

"I am so sorry," Olivia said, picking up his books and handing them to him.

Elliot just looked at her for a second; she was beautiful. Her straight dark hair was tucked behind her ears bringing out her deep brown eyes, and he was mesmerized. He realized he was staring after a while and quickly took his books.

"I'm sorry," Olivia repeated.

"Oh, it's fine, I wasn't looking where I was going," Elliot said, "I'm Elliot Stabler."

"Olivia Benson," she said, then being dragged off by George.

"Bye," Elliot yelled after her stupidly.

Olivia walked next to George, to far away to here Elliot, "He was cute."

"He's a senior," George said, "but I won't pretend that I wouldn't be happier with him than I am with Luke."

"Age isn't everything. It's a number," Olivia said.

"A big number, in Luke's case," George said.
