It took Sam and Austin a while to get to the diner since the football game has just ended. It was very popular at their school. Whenever there was a sport's game at their school, it made headlines in the paper the next day. They got into the diner and Austin walked her to one of his usual diner booths when Sam kept on walking.

She turned around and said, "What do you want?"

"Let's sit down first."

"But I can get it much faster myself."

"Please sit down, Sam, take a break this time. Your here with me, not to work."

"Okay." She said and walked back over to Austin as he got her to sit down and scoot over for him to sit right next to her.

They waited a few minutes. None of the waitresses came by.

"Maybe I should go get us the food. It will be quicker." Sam insisted.

"No it's okay, I don't mind waiting."

Another long pause.

"So why didn't you---"Austin started talking as Ronda came by and cut him off in mid sentence.

"Hi Sam."

"Hi Rhonda."

"Can I get anything for the both of you?"

They ordered what they wanted and Austin then continued his question.

"So why didn't you tell me you were Cinderella?"

"You know when you were here and you sat down on the stools for coffee." She started.

"Yeah." He said.

"Well I was going to tell you until my stepmother came in. I was going to say, Austin, I'm Cinderella. But then she turned around and said Sam after I said I'm."

"Okay but why didn't you tell me after that, like at school or anytime even before that?"

"I guess I got scared. Your so popular and I'm... not." After she said that and looked down at her hands that were one in one on the table.

"Sam, I get that you were scared. I'm just glad I finally know who is princetongirl818."

"I'm glad I know who nomad is too."

"Are you glad it's me though?"

"Yes. Definitely. And you? Are you glad it's me?"

Austin paused for a few seconds then finally said. "Definitely!" He then leaned in and kissed her.

Once dinner was done, Austin brought Sam home. He kissed her in the truck and then went home.

As he got home his dad was very angry with him. Asking why he did such a thing just leaving the game and going to see Sam. He just couldn't believe what Austin has done. They yelled at each other and got angry. Austin went up to his room and stayed there the rest of the night.

As he got to his room, he went directly to the computer to talk to Sam some more. As he logged in to his instant messaging program, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Austin asked.

"Austin it's me." Shelby said with worry in her voice.

"Shelby?"

"I need to see you right now. It's important."

"I can't right now. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?" He said.

"Austin, I'm serious. I got some news."

"What kind of news?"

"News I have to tell you to your face." She said more nervous and worried as she could sound.

"It'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Meet me at the mall in the food court at noon."

"See you then." He said and hung up. What could it possibly be. He thought.
