*Amber's POV*
Nina and I headed down for breakfast together. We were going to release Jerome after we finished. Mick, Fabian, Alfie, Mara, and Patricia were already seated. Trudy served juice and toast, then left to watch a show in her room. I was halfway through my second slice of toast when I felt eyes on me. I looked up to see everyone who had witnessed the kiss staring at me as if asking my permission to begin the questioning. I used my napkin to wipe a smudge of butter off the side of my mouth and gave a nod. Nina and Fabian were all smiles and slightly red while eating there breakfast when Mick started to speak.
"So-o-o..." Everyone looked up at him. "Last night was very interesting; wasn't it, Mara?"
"Yeah," she said,"that movie was fantastic!" Oh, so we were taking the indirect approach.
Nina looked mildly interested. "What was it about?"
Mick said,"It was about these two teens at a high school in America. One of them-the girl-had just moved into the neighborhood, and the guy was assigned to show her around. The girl...um..."
"Katarina." Whew, Alfie made a nice save. "The girl named Katarina had trouble making friends because she had a Southern accent and for some reason the most popular sophomore girl took a dislike to her.
It turns out the guy, Ian, was in all of Katarina's classes."
My turn now. "He sat next to her in each one. Of course, his friends noticed and started teasing him that he had a thing for the newbie. Ian just blushed, denied it, and walked away.
Katarina eventually made friends with Marie, who was a Drama kid who designed costumes for the school plays. At lunch, she and Ian would sit together, and Marie would join them. Marie took one look at them, saw they were crushing on each other, and knew she had to set them up. Marie enlisted the help of her friends: Ralphie, Lara, and Nick to help. Ralphie had another friend, Jerry, but he got sent to juvie at the beginning of the film. The gang had many schemes-one even involved setting them up as the leads in the school play, but nothing ever went as planned."
Patricia picked the story back up. "Eventually, Lara and Marie came up with the idea to host a small party at Nick's house. Everyone came, but one by one they snuck away until it was just Ian and Katarina on the dance floor. They danced a bit, and-"
"The movie ended with them finally kissing. It was so romantic," Mara gushed. "I hope they make a sequel- we never found out if Ian and Katarina became boyfriend and girlfriend," she added slyly. At that, we all gave significant looks to Nina and Fabian. Their blushes had continually deepened throughout our summary of the 'movie.' Seriously, they might be mistaken for Elmo.
"Well..." Fabian stood up and said in a rushed voice,"That sounds like a very interesting movie. I think I'll go on a walk. Nina, would you fancy coming with me?"
"Yeah, sure. Let's go." They retreated out the front door. Those two, shy as ever. We'd find some way to get it out of them, we would.
