A/N: Please, R/R! Then I can decide whether I need to correct stuff or stop updating! Thanks! And I'm not sure of the book (I read it a long time ago) so this is not really going with the BSC book at all! Just so you know...
The sun was shining into Laine's window the next morning. She groaned, and turned over on her bed. She wished she could go back to sleep. After all, it was summer vacation!
Suddenly, with a jolt, she realized it was Saturday. Saturday, July 22. Ryan's birthday! Her blonde, beautiful boyfriend Ryan's birthday! What was she doing in bed?
Quickly, Laine ran to her closet and pulled on a short black mini- skirt. She matched it with a crazy red t-shirt that showed off her thin belly. After a short frantic search, she found her black heels and strapped them on.
Just as Laine was running out her bedroom door, her little sister Maddy ran into Laine's room. This resulted in a messy collision.
"Watch where you're going, freak!" Yelled Laine.
"Sheesh, all this for a phone call!" The ten-year-old chucked the cordless at Laine and stormed into her bedroom, which was across the hall.
Laine stared at the phone, lying on the maroon carpet, for a second before realizing what she was supposed to do.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby." Laine's heart thudded wildly in her chest, and she felt a warm sensation on her face.
"H-hi! Uh...happy birthday!"
A few hours later, Laine was sitting with Ryan McKormic at Le Petit Café. The air was sweet, but the sparkle in Ryan's eyes was sweeter. Laine felt like she was in heaven. After they had finished eating, Laine handed Ryan his present. It was a golden watch, and engraved on the back were the words LC RM=LUV4EVA. Laine looked at Ryan's face, hoping for a grin or maybe a kiss.
Instead, Ryan looked up at her, his face unreadable.
"Uh...Laine...um, it's funny that you should bring this up."
"Bring what up?" As far as Laine knew, she hadn't been talking.
"Well, Laine, I don't think we're meant for each other. I...I think we should break up."
Laine was confused. What had gone wrong? She had loved Ryan with all her being. Then it came to her.
"So, who is it? Hmm?" Suddenly, Laine's eyes were opened. "Oh my god. It's Liz, isn't it? Is that why you were at her house? It wasn't for homework! How could I have been so stupid?"
Ryan didn't meet Laine's gaze. His sandy brown hair suddenly became blurry as Laine's eyes filled with tears. She ran out of the restaurant before Ryan could have the pleasure of seeing her cry.
