"Chris I don't want to talk. I'm busy" Rachel told him.
Chris looked hurt.
"Well, what about lunch time? Can I come to your office so we can talk?"
Rachel looked annoyed but nodded in agreement. She walked off. Chris hurried to him classroom. He was meant to be teaching year 8s and they would be wondering where he was.
That morning was pretty normal, normal for waterloo road anyway. At lunch Chris headed towards Rachel's office.
All morning she had been panicking. What would Chris say and what would she say. But now, the moment had come. There was a knock on the door and Chris entered. Closing the door behind him, Chris walked forwards and sat down facing Rachel.
"Why have you been avoiding me?" Chris asked. He decided it would be better to just say it than give her time to make up an excuse. He looked at her expectantly.
"I…I…" Rachel stammered. Suddenly, she burst into tears.
Chris' face softened immediately. He got up and went round to her side of the desk. He wrapped his arms round her, whispering into her hair. After a couple of minute Rachel calmed down. Chris didn't let go.
She looked up at him, her eyes still filled with tears. He smiled at her, and she suddenly realised how cute Chris was. His eyes looked deep into hers as if he was trying to dry up her tears just by looking.
Rachel couldn't believe she had never noticed how much Chris cared about her, how much he loved her. She'd been so busy worrying about Max and Kim and talking about herself and her worries, she had never stopped to think about Chris and how he felt.
She looked into his gorgeous eyes and suddenly she was kissing him. She was about to stop when he started to kiss her back. She stood up so they could kiss properly. They were completely lost in each other and so neither of them heard the door open.
