When they peddled home that night, Sara was all smiles. So was Kiley. They got inside and Sara walked to her room. They both sat down on Sara's bed.

"You're so lucky," Kiley said, punching Sara lightly on your arm. "'Bout time you got your head screwed on right," Kiley said. Sara laughed.

"Are you gonna tell him now," Kiley demanded of Sara. Sara shrugged and Kiley sighed. "You really should tell him Sara. He's not gonna think any less of you for it or whatever you're afraid he'll do."

"Drop it Kiley," Sara said sharply. Kiley nodded and got up.

"Buonas Nächte," Kiley said

"Buonas nuits," Sara said back. Kiley shut off the light and exited the room.

Greg started spending much more time with Sara. Mostly at Greg's house, and Archie and Kiley usually tagged along. Neither Sara nor Greg minded. The four of them went loads of places. They went to the mall, and the movies, and to get ice cream. The four friends were very tight. Sometimes they stayed at Greg's house and watched movies with Greg's siblings.

Kiley thought that Greg was very good for Sara. Since her birthday party, Sara laughed a lot more, smiled a lot more. She was just, in general , much happier. Kiley was also enjoying herself too. Archie and Greg were loads of fun to hang around, and she liked seeing Sara happy.

At first Sara was a bit worried about something between Kiley and Archie. But Kiley was only 12 and not that into boys right now. But Sara thought that maybe in a few years, when Kiley got a bit older, the two would have a chance.

The first Saturday in October Warrick heard a knock at his door. He went to open it and Saw Fredy standing in front of his door. Warrick smiled.

"You gonna come out for basketball," Fredy asked him. The pair played basket ball against another team of two every Saturday and sometimes after school. Warrick wasn't that good...well no that was a huge understatement. He sucked. He hadn't yet scored a basket. After his first game he muttered something to Fredy about not ever playing again.

"Hey," Fredy had told him. "Don't worry about scoring, about winning or about the other team. Just try to have a good time okay."

And Warrick went to the next game. And he really did start to have fun. He was getting better. He no longer tripped over the ball. The other team, who ever it was that day, always made fun of him but Warrick just shut them out. The games made him happier and whenever he could, Fredy would help him out.

"Grams," Warrick called into the house.

"Yes dear?"

"Can I go out for a bit? Basketball," Warrick asked.

"Sure," his grandmother called from the kitchen. "Be back for supper."
Warrick followed Fredy down to the park. They walked, because it wasn't that far. When they got there they started a game almost immediately. Half way through the game, Catherine and Cassy came to the park and sat on the bench by the basketball court. Warrick spotted them and his heart rate went up.

"Warrick," Fredy called. warrick turned in time to see the ball coming toward him. He caught it and without thinking shot at the basket. The ball went in and the net made a satisfying 'swish'

Warrick stood there for a few moments in absolute shock. The Fredy clapped Warrick on the shoulder and Catherine's and Cassy's cheers reached his ears. He smiled happily. and started playing again.

Warrick took several more shots that game and didn't make a single one. But the pride from his first basket didn't disappear. After the game Catherine and Cassy walked up to them.

"Good game you guys," the said at the same time. Catherine was smiling widely. Fredy and Warrick had lost by about 20 points, but Catherine didn't care.

"Hey," came a voice behind them. Warrick and Fredy both turned and their opponents.

"Cyrus Lockwood," Said the taller African-American boy "And Bobby Dawson," he said indicating the boy next to him. They both smiled and stuck out their hands.

"Great game guys," Bobby said. Warrick and Fredy shook both their hands.

"We'll take you next week," Fredy said and the two boys laughed and nodded.

"Wouldn't miss it," Bobby said.

After the two boys left Fredy turned to Warrick. "Want to stick around and play another game," he asked his friend. warrick considered it.

"Sure," he said. He liked playing basketball. He would wait for another team of two. Maybe this time they'd win, but if the didn't, that's still okay.

As October progressed, Sara, Greg, Archie and Kiley were deciding on their costumes for Halloween. Greg had also decided to include them in the Nerd Squad, something Kiley was thrilled about. Eventually they decided to go as a cult of Vampires. They spent plenty of time looking in thrift stores and such for appropriate costume pieces. Greg actually got his hands on two black trench coats that got added to the costume chest. He had already claimed them for himself and Sara. Kiley alos got some very cool boots that they would use for the costumes and Greg started joking that they should start a real cult of Vampires.

Something else semi-exciting happened in the middle of October. The school announced that they would be accepting additions to the science club. Greg and Sara joined in a blink, but Archie needed persuading. In the end, Archie gave up the science club in favor for the A/V club.

Word about Sara and Greg spread quickly around the school and of course reached Catherine's ears.

In the middle of the week, Greg got out of his seat. He stood on the table.

"Hello people," he shouted. The lunch room quieted and Greg grinned. Sara and Archie had no idea what they were doing, but looked up at him with amused looks on their faces.

"I have come to the brilliant conclusion... that it is impossible to lick your elbow. Thank you. That is all," Greg said and sat down. There was a moment of stunned silence and then laughter erupted all over the lunch room.

"Why did you do that," Sara asked with a smile on her face. Her eyes were watering from laughing. Greg looked at her and shrugged.

"I felt like it," he said simply. Sara laughed again and hugged Greg tightly and gave him a quick kiss.
