CHAPTER TWO: Steve takes DJ on a special date! Does Kimmy find out?

On the next morning, DJ walked off the school bus into the big brick building. She looked all around for Steve but couldn't see him. Kimmy came around the corner and hugged her new friend, "Hey ya Deej. What's up? Steve's been looking for you...he's already inside."

The two girls found Steve inside by their lockers. When Steve spotted DJ, he said, "Hey Deej. How are you?"

DJ smiled, "I'm good, Steve. My first class I have is with Kimmy, so I'll see you later. k? Bye."

A little disappointed, he trudged off in the opposite direction. Kimmy and DJ walked off to math class. As they took their seats, the teacher demanded, "Hi class. I want you all to open your books to page 2. Read the lesson and do problems # 1- 48 all. It'll be due tomorrow and you may get started on it now."

So, DJ began her work. Kimmy asked, "Um...can you help me, Deej? I don't get this at all."

DJ smiled, moved her desk closer to Kimmy's, and helped her get through the problems correctly. Kimmy hugged her, "Thanks so much. You're my new best friend."

DJ said, "Thanks. You are too."

When class was over, they had gotten through about half of their homework problems. Kimmy asked, "Do you want to come to my house today and we can work on the rest of the math?"

DJ hesitated, "Umm...sure. I think that will be fine."

They walked together to spanish class. Spanish was really easy because the teacher only assigned one exercise to do for homework. After that class, DJ spoke up, "Well, I have to go to chemistry next. See ya later, Kimmy."

After they went their separate ways, DJ found Steve standing against the wall with his arms folded. She approached him and questioned, "What's wrong?"

Steve whispered, "I got a D- on an English exam. It'll ruin my life forever."

DJ hugged him, "It's ok. One bad grade isn't going to ruin your life. Just learn from your mistakes and try to do better. Try to stay after school with the teacher if you need help."

Steve smiled and planted a kiss on DJ's lips before they walked into chemistry class. After class, Steve held DJ's hand and asked what she was doing after school. DJ replied, "I already have plans to go to Kimmy's."

Steve looked disappointed but then said, "Maybe after you do your homework, I can pick you up for a nice dinner someplace."

DJ hugged him, "You're amazing, honey. I love you."

Steve put his arm around her and kissed her once again. This time they snuck in the janitor's closet to do that. He gave her multiple kisses before they left for gym class. Gym was both of their worst subjects.

By the end of the school day, the two girls proceeded to Kimmy's house to do homework. By 5pm, they were done. Steve picked up DJ as promised, and took her to one of the best restaurants in town. After what seemed as a romantic dinner, Steve sweeped DJ off her feet and carried her upstairs to a private lounge. Their lips came together. Steve's tongue was inching its way around DJ's mouth and felt content. After he lay her on the bed, he slowly took off her shirt and pants. Then, he removed his clothes. The couple made love right on the bed. After what seemed like hours, DJ said, "I love you, baby."

Steve continued caressing her and kissing her. Then, someone knocked on the door. Steve jumped up and asked, "Who is it?"

The manager of the restaurant boomed, "You didn't pay your bill!"

Steve took out money and tossed it at the manager. He returned to DJ, "I'm sorry, honey."

And he continued to caress her and kiss her. After they made love one more time, the couple dressed and exited the room holding hands. They went to the bar and ordered two Shirley Temples. As they took the drinks back into the room, Steve spoke, "Oh, I'm so glad that you're my girlfriend. I don't know what I would do without you in my life, baby."

DJ hugged him, "Oh, I love you too so very much. But...I haven't told my family anything about me dating you. Have you told yours?"

Steve frowned, "No. My mom just knows that we're friends."

DJ smiled, "Then, let's keep it that way. I don't want anyone to get suspicious of us. But I do love to be with you."

Steve planted a kiss on her beautiful lips, "I'll do anything for you, Deej."

DJ finished her shirley temple and said, "I better get going now. My family's going to wonder where I am...I have to lie to them once again."

Steve offered, "I'll take you home."

DJ objected, "No. That's all I need is to have some curious eyes looking at us down Main Street. It's ok, really. I can walk."

As Steve and DJ walked out of the room, Kimmy was standing right there with her arms folded. She said, "What are you two doing here?"

DJ said, "We were just doing homework in there where it's quiet, that's all. Why are you here?"

Kimmy said, "Well, you left your purse at my house so I figured I'd find you and get it to you."

DJ replied and hugged her friend, "Oh, thank you. You're the best. I'm so glad to have you. Did you go to my house looking for me?"

Kimmy looked down at the floor, "Well, yes. your Uncle Jesse offered to drive me because he wanted to know where you are too."

DJ asked, "Where's Uncle Jesse?"

Kimmy answered, "in the car. I told him I'd run in fast and come back out. So, want a ride home?"

DJ said good bye to Steve and walked alone with Kimmy down the stairs. Before the two girls went outside, she stopped, "Kimmy, you have to promise me something."

Kimmy asked, "What?"

DJ explained, "Steve and I are dating, but we don't want anyone to know yet. Do you promise to keep it a secret?"

Kimmy smiled, "You can trust me. I won't say a word. But what are you going to say when your uncle asks?"

DJ remarked, "Ummm...I'll tell him that I was helping my other friend, Samantha, with her reading homework."

Kimmy hugged her, "Good thinking. Let's go."

After they got into Uncle Jesse's car, he asked, "What have you been doing in there, Deej?"

DJ answered, "I had to help my friend, Samantha, with her reading homework. She's in my class so we're studybuddies."

Uncle Jesse grinned, "What a good girl! You're already making friends in high school and it's only been your second day!"

After they got home, Kimmy proceeded to her home and DJ retreated up to her room to get ready for bed. It was a long day. But most of all, she enjoyed spending much of the time with her boyfriend, Steve.
