Destiny woke up and saw that she was still lying next to Warren. She looked at the clock and saw it was 7:30. She shook Warren gently "Warr, wake up. The bus will be here in half and hour."
Warren rolled over and smiled at her sleepily. "Good morning" He said. "Sleep well?" Destiny nodded. She got up and climbed over the top of him, she walked into her bathroom. She came out a few minutes later dressed in a blue tank top and a pair of jeans, her hair was tied up but still wet from the shower she just had.
She turned to Warren who was still lying on her bed "Come on, we are going to miss the bus" he lifted his head but just flopped it back down onto the pillows, Destiny laughed "Come on Warr"
He got up and they went next door together, "Hey why don't you get yourself some breakfast, I'm going to go get changed" he walked out leaving Destiny alone in the kitchen. She walked over to the fridge and looked at the photos stuck to it. Every single one was of Warren and Destiny.
Destiny smiled and opened the fridge, there wasn't much in there so she just had some orange juice, she had just began to drink it when Lydia walked in "Oh, hi Destiny" she said.
"Good morning Lydia" Destiny said.
"Where is Warren?" she asked.
"Right here" Warren answered walking into the kitchen and stealing Destiny's orange juice out of her hand and taking a mouth full then handing it back to her. "Morning mum"
"Warren don't be so rude, get your own glass of juice" Lydia said putting her hands on her hips.
"Yeah" Destiny agreed punching Warren in the arm playfully. He smiled and pushed her back "Come on Warr, we better go" she told him "Bye Lydia"
"Goodbye Destiny sweetheart. Hey why don't you and your mother come over tonight for dinner, it's been ages hasn't it?" Lydia asked.
"Oh yeah that would be really great" Destiny answered "I'll see you then"
"Bye Destiny" Lydia called as she waved walking out the door. Lydia grabbed Warren's arm as he walked past "Honey, home coming is in a few days an-"
"Mum!" Warren whispered.
"Come on Warren. Just ask her"
"Mum"
"I really think that-"
"Mum! Ok stop please? Please?"
"Just think about it ok kiddo?" Warren groaned and went to leave but Lydia stopped him again "Give your mother a kiss goodbye" he did "Have a good day sweetie"
"Bye mum" Warren said walking out the door, joining Destiny just as the bus rolled up.
They got to school and the first class they had was gym class. Coach Boomer made them warm up by doing sprints from one end of the gym to the other. Kim, a girl in their class fell over. Destiny ran to her side and helped her up "Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah" Kim winced a little "I just twisted my ankle"
"Freeze girl!" Boomer yelled out walking over to her "Did I give you permission to stop running?"
"I was helping Kim up, she hurt her ankle" Destiny explained.
"I asked you a question now answer it 'Did I give you permission to stop running?'" Boomer said.
"No you didn't sir" Destiny answered glaring at him.
"Then in that case you will do twenty extra sprints before you join the rest of the class for lunch" Boomer told her.
"What! That is so unfair!"
"Don't complain freeze girl, complaining is for sissy's" Boomer sighed boredly.
Destiny snorted "Coming from a man who wears short shorts"
"What did you say?"
"You heard me coach"
"I most certainly did and I think that earns you another 20 laps"
"Are you kidding me!"
"Are you still trying to argue with me?"
"As a matter of fact I-"
"Coach!" Kim interrupted "My ankle really hurts" she glanced over at Destiny sighed and mouthed 'thanks' at her then went back to sprinting.
When the bell sounded everyone left the gym except Boomer and Destiny "Do you want me to wait for you" Warren asked.
Destiny shook her head "I'll be done in a few minutes, see you in the cafeteria" Warren left as she started to do laps.
Warren walked into the cafeteria and sat down at his table. He started to read and it wasn't long before someone sat down across from him. That was quick he thought looking up, expecting to see Destiny sitting there but instead it was Layla.
"Hi Warren" she smiled playing with her salad
"Did I do or say anything last night to make you think this was ok?" he said, great I should have known this would happen.
Layla laughed "Haha you're so funny, but seriously you're never going to believe what happened. I was just about to ask Will to homecoming when wouldn't you know it, I told him I was going with you instead"
No! "I don't remember that being the plan" What about Destiny.
"Hey Layla, did you do the history homework?" Magenta sat down with them, interrupting the conversation.
"What do you think you're doing?" Warren asked her.
"It's called sitting" she answered.
"No one sits her but me" he said, deciding he wasn't going to bring Destiny into the conversation in any way after what Layla had said the night before. Come on I've seen how you look at her, everyone knows.
"mhmm" she then turned to Layla, ignoring Warren "What did you get for number four…" they started talking about the homework. What the hell is going on here? Warren thought as he glared at them.
"Hey" Eathan sat down next to Warren "Are we eating at Warren's table now? I feel extremely dangerous!"
"Whoa" Warren said Get lost before I hurt you! he screamed in his head.
"Is this guy bothering you Magenta?" Zach asked as he sat on the other side of Warren. He felt so weird having these people willingly sit with him.
"Try the other way around" Warren growled. "Does anyone else need a date for homecoming?" he asked, Eathan put his hand up. There you go Hippy, go with him. I have to go with Destiny. I have to tell her he thought.
Suddenly Layla laughed hysterically, it actually gave Warren and the others quite a fright "Warren you are cra-zy!" she said. They all sat there staring at her. Warren looked up and saw Stronghold walk past watching them.
"Please, I promise I'll make this as painless as possible" she pleaded him when Will was out of earshot.
"So" Warren said realizing what was going on "You're not doing this just cause you like me or anything. You're doing this to get at Stronghold"
"Yeah" she answered, kind of obvious isn't it? She thought.
"Then I'm in" Warren smiled "but I'm not renting a tux" He stood up and went to find Destiny.
Warren wasn't used to people treating him like that, like he was part of their group. Before he became friends with Destiny he had never had a real friend. He actually like the fact that she was the only one he was close to, the only one he let see the real him. It made their friendship even more special. It almost scared him that other people were willing to be around him.
He saw he walking down the hallway towards the end of lunch looking pretty angry "Hey, what's the matter?" he asked.
"Boomer! He is such an ass. I told him I had done forty laps, he said I had only done thirtynine. I said he must have miscounted so he made me run another twenty!"
"Want me to go roast him for you?" Warren asked.
"Yes" Destiny smiled "Hey Warren?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go to homecoming?" Destiny asked casually.
"Uh, what together?" Warren stammered. Perfect, just perfect. I finally get an opportunity to tell her how I feel and… "I can't. I sort of told Strongholds friend Layla I'd go with her"
"Really?" Destiny was both surprised and disappointed.
"Yeah, she wants me to help her make Stronghold jealous" Warren said, regretting more than anything that he had.
"Oh, what happened to going easy on him from now on?" Destiny raised her eyebrow.
Warren shrugged. Warren would have given anything at that moment to rewind time and change what he had just done. Tell her how you feel, he heard his brain scream out at him but he wouldn't do it.
Destiny felt her heart breaking as they walked to chemistry together.
