"Oh my God, look at that!" The school had just ended for a day when a young high school student saw something and pointed her big found to her friends. "Isn't that the most gorgeous thing you have ever seen?"

Her friends turned their heads to the direction pointed to them and when they saw it too, they couldn't say anything. Holy…

There was a young man standing all by himself, leaning his back to the metallic fence, hands folded up to his chest. The man was a little older than the girls, maybe around twenty. But God, didn't he have the finest black hair, the brightest skin ant the most amazing eyes with a determined look in them.

"I've never seen him here before." one of the girls said contemplating.

"I wonder if he's waiting for someone…" said the other.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna find that out." said the girl who had noticed the man in first place and with the final ruffle of her blond hair she headed for this strange loner.

"Hi!" the girl said when she made it next to the man, who turned his head and looked down to the shorter girl.

"Hi." the man greeted back and gave a kind smile which made girl's knees sag a bit. However she smiled back and tipped her head on one side so her long hair waved beautifully.

"I haven't seen you here earlier. You new or something?"

The man shook his head a bit. "No, I'm just not going here so often." he explained.

"Is that so... I'm Kristen, by the way." the girl introduced herself with a yet another smile.

"I'm Roy. Nice to meet you."

Kristen thought about what she should say next, and she decided to ask about Roy's possible date.

"I see you're standing here all alone. Are you waiting for someone?"

Roy coughed a little and nodded. "Yes, actually I am."

Kristen was a little disappointed but didn't let it show. She kept the smile and acted interested.

"Someone special?" she asked.

"The most important girl in my life."

That was it. Kristen had to admit that it wasn't her lucky day. But before she went away she gave it the one last try.

"Well, then. If you already have a date then I think I just keep going. But hey, maybe we meet again some day and if you have changed your mind about that 'most important' thing then maybe we…" Kristen left her sentence open and winked to Roy. The man just tried to keep his friendly look on and nodded slightly.

"Yeah, maybe…"

Then the bell of an adjacent elementary school rang and kids started to erupt out of the building. Roy was glancing over here and there before he finally found what he searched.

"Well, seems like my date is appearing." he said and his smile widened as one dark haired girl ramified from the crowd and came to him.

"Roy!" the little girl screamed and put her arms around now kneeling man.

"Hi Rach! Had a fun day at school?"

Kristen stared at the couple and noticing she wasn't anymore yearned there she just turned around and went back to her friend, blushing from embarrassment.

The two siblings were already heading for Roy's new apartment where they were supposed to stay until their mother would come and pick Rachel up. They were holding each other's hands and talking about Rachel's day.

"So what did you learn today?"

"They told us where wool comes from. Roy, why can't we have any sheep?"

I think I'll be skippin some years again in the next chapter.
Please review, they make me happy :3
