Hey! I felt like updating today, please review!

(Chuckie's point of view)

I am waiting on Lil to get ready. None of our friends know that Lil and I are together. We wanted it to be a surprise, so we promised not to tell them until we were both there. Lil came out quickly.

"Hey, sweetie," Lil said, giving me a kiss.

"I love her kisses; if you've never kissed anyone before, you can't understand the sheer simplicity of sticking your lips on someone else's. But not Lil, you feel something, and it isn't just saliva. It's like your stomach is a tribal war drum, and some tiny Native American is pounding it steadily."

"Hey, Lil. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," Lil stated, taking my hand as we walk

"Last night... what really happened?" she asked, unable to keep the curiosity out of her voice.

"I told you," I stated.

"No, you told me it was okay that you beat him up."

"Fine. But it's a long story."

"I have time," she said, sitting on the curb of the sidewalk.

"Well, it started when you blacked out. I got angry, so I jumped up and called him a wimp that he gets joy off of hitting women, so…."

"So…. What?" she asked, urging me to continue.

"He hit me in the face. That's how I got this black eye." I paused. "...Well, after he hit me, I fell, so he turned to you and started hitting you some more. I got my strength back right then and pounced on him... he fell to the floor and I just kept punching him over and over again until he was out cold."

"That wasn't that long of a story," she said simply. "...And, Chuckie?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks."

"Oh it was nothing. I'm just glad you're okay." I stated looking at my feet as a blush formed on my face

"We're going to be late if we don't hurry up," Lil said, giving me a smile as she stood.

We got to the school with five minutes to spare. As we walked in, we got so many stares that I wondered whether it was our bruised faces or the fact that we were holding hands. It was probably the second choice. As we ventured further into the hallway, we were stopped by our friends.

"What's going on here?" Kimi asked suspiciously, a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Well," Lil and I began in unison, glancing at each other.

"You tell them, Lil," I said shyly.

"Okay... well, you see... we're together now," Lil stated with a smile on her face.

"Yes! I knew it, Tommy, Phil, and Dil you guys owe me ten bucks each!" Kimi yelled victoriously, watching smugly as they pulled money out of their pockets and handed it to her

"What? …Wait, you guys had a bet on if we would get together or not?" I asked annoyed that they made a bet on it.

"Nah, we had a bet on when it would happen. We already knew you guys would get together," Tommy butted in.

"Yeah, well, I just hope you-know-who doesn't try to beat me up, since I beat him up yesterday and threw him in the dumpster," I said fearfully.

"If he does, it won't make a difference. I will still LOVE you," Lil said, and I felt a blush creep up my face.

"I love you, too, Lil," I said, leaning in to kiss her.

"Get a room," everyone said in unison.

"Fine," we said slyly, pretending to open a door and enter before kissing again.

"Are you guys going to stand there and make out or go to class?" Phil said.

"The first one," Lil and I said in unison.

"Well, then you better get out of the hallway. You don't want the principle to see you," Kimi chuckled.

"We'll go to class after one last kiss," Lil said, standing on her toes to kiss me once more.

We walked into class, but I couldn't focus on anything but Lil. When lunch came around I ran to the lunch room to catch up with her. I met her at the end of the lunch line.

"Hey, Lil," I said, coming up behind her.

"Oh, hi, Chuckie."

"So, what's up?"

"Nothing, just want to buy my girlfriend's lunch for her," I said, wrapping my arms around her waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"You don't have to buy my lunch."

"Yes, I do, because I want to."

"I won't fight that logic."

I paid for both lunches and carried our food to our table.

I held Lil's hand walking her to our regular table were we set down next to Kimi, Phil, Tommy, and Dil. "So, when are you guys going on your first date?" Kimi asked slyly.

"Tomorrow we're having dinner at Olive Garden."

'Kimi began talking about the new amusement park they are adding, but I didn't catch any of it. My thoughts were focused on Lil and our date tomorrow

Well I ran out of ideas right now, so I'm going to leave the chapter right here. If you read Kid's Next Door stories, please read TND Expanding! It's another story of mine, and it only has one review, and I'd really like more reviews! Oh thank you Esse Quam Videri for making corrections for me :D
