She met Charlie again that afternoon.

"Hey charlie."

"There are rumors all around the school about me and your cousin, you know that!"

" chill, sweetheart."

" I'm the principal!"

" don't hide the fact. How do you know my cousin anyways?"

"Well, she usually talks to me for a while before she picks you up, and whenever she talks to me, i get that...that feeling."

"Butterflies?"

"No, more than that, like, a nervous happiness."

"Why do you like her, though?"

"Well, she's sweet, tough, adorable, brave, and she has a great body."

"Wait...she has a great body? That's why you like her?"

"No, that's just one minor reason. I would like her even if she had a horrible body."

"I'll bring you over to her house one day, but you have to promise me something."

"What?"

"Promise me that you'll never have sex with her."

"That's unfair! Well, not from your perspective, but still!"

"Ahem...im waiting…"

"I can't promise that, but i will promise that I won't have sex with her until she wants me to."

"Fair enough."

"Oh and, who's sweater is that?" Charlie asked grinning madly. "Looks like our little sunshine isn't single at all!"

"Oh please, shut up! Someone might hear you! I told my friends that you gave it to me!"

"Why?"

"Because, because, i - i can't tell them, or you, who it really belongs to."

"Hear! Hear! Lily's dating someone secretly and doesn't want anyone to know!"

"Stop it! Stop screaming! Oh, Shut up!"

"What's the magic word?"

"I'll tell Sasha!"

"Fine!Blackmailer!"

She grinned.

"Hey Charlie?"

"Yeah?"

"Gwen suspects. Can you shut her up?"

"No can do, sorry sweet, but I can tell you that she's dating someone too."

"SHE IS!?"

"I wont tell who. Figure it out."

Lily leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"Thanks Charlie."

"Anything for my little sister figure."

"Can you let me keep my puppy in here."

"Nope."

"Fine."

As she walked out into the hallways, Haley caught up with her.

"Who is it? I heard Principal Charlie screaming."

"Wont tell."

"Sometimes, it's easier telling a friend, rather than a best friend."

"Drake."
