Wendy's POV
That night I headed over to Robbie's, nervous about what was going to happen. I was so nervous that I almost left my phone at home, which wouldn't have been that bad, but I always take it with me in case Tambry texts me because that's the only time I can really talk to her. I was only three blocks away from Robbie's when the knot in my stomach came back and the realization of what I was about to do sunk in. I was going to Robbie's in the middle of the night when his parents were away and there was wine, anything could happen.
As his door stood in front of me I had to force myself not to run back home. I hit the door bell and immediately Robbie opened the door.
"Hey" he said
"Hey"
"I went and got Horror Movie 5 for us to watch, I remembered how you said you were dying to see it" I saw his eye twinkle in the moonlight.
"Oh my God, are you serious?" I exclaimed "I've wanted to see it since I saw the teaser trailer last summer!"
He smiled and I pushed him out of the doorway and walked into the house. I've known the whole layout of his house since we became friends in second grade. His room was in the attic, and everything else was on the ground floor, including the kitchen, which was were I was heading.
"Do you have any food in this place?" I called, trying to act as normal as possible.
Robbie walked into the kitchen, "there's potato chips in the top cabinet"
"Mmm, Potato chips and red wine"
He rolled his eyes and went into the living room, where the love seat had been moved from the corner of the room, right to the center. I sat down next to him and he poured a glass of wine. He looked at me deep into the eyes then turned toward the t.v, put his feet on the coffee table and watched as the opening credits began to play.
Robbie's POV
When the movie was over it was long past midnight. I looked over at Wendy to see she had fallen asleep with an empty wine glass in her hand. I took it away and put a blanket on top of her. I looked at her for a while and wondered if I should lay down with her, but decided it would be to aqward to explain what I was doing to her in the morning, so I just lied down on the floor never taking my eyes off of her beautiful face until I suddenly drifted of to sleep.
Wendy's POV
I woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon coming from the kitchen, I was still at Robbie's, and he was making breakfast. I got of the couch and a blanket fell off of me, I thought that Robbie must have put it there.
"Good Morning" he called from the kitchen
"Hey" I tiredly called back as I walked into the kitchen "why are you making breakfast?"
He flipped a pancake and turned around to sit at the island with me, "Um, because I'm hungry" he responded "But you can have some if you want "
"Sure" I said "I guess I'll eat some"
"Cool, anyways, everyone's heading to the tower today and it would be weird if we never showed up"
"K" I said munching on a bacon strip. We ate in silence for a while until Robbie burst out,
"Wendy! I think I love you!" then he immediately covered his mouth as though it had just slipped out and he didn't want anything else to slip out.
"Robbie" I said in almost a whisper, "I think I love you too."
For a while we sat there in silence, then Robbie got up and went outside to get some air. When I saw that he was gone I took out my phone and texted Tambry, who at the moment was the only person I could talk to.
Me: Tam, smthing jst hppend

Robbie POV
The whole drive to Nate's house was pretty silent. I kept regretting what I told Wendy. I felt so stupid
"Wendy," I said as we turned the corner, "I'm sorry I said that back there, it was totally uncalled for, but I really do like you, and maybe, if you want, will you come with me to the state fair next weekend?"
I didn't know why I just asked her this, the state fair is over three hours away and I had no money at all. I looked over at her in the passenger seat
"Are you kidding me!?" she exclaimed, "Of course I want to go with you! I've been wanting to go for like, ever!"
I smiled, "Then its a date"
She was doing er cute smile she did when she was embarrassed, "Yeah, a date"
We were quiet the rest of the ride there, with my bands music blasting over the speakers. When we got there Wendy moved to the seat behind me and let Nate sit in the passenger seat. I looked at her one last time then talked to Nate.
"Hey dude," he said "I heard Wendy slept over last night"
I rolled my eyes and didn't respond
"Well?" he pestered "Did you DO anything?"
"No!" I screamed apparently getting Wendy's attention, "She just fell asleep watching a movie." I paused "Who told you she slept over anyway?"
Nate decided to stop talking then.
"Yeah Nate," Wendy said, "Who told you?"
Nate seemed nervous, and I didn't really carer who told him, but Wendy apparently did, and she wouldn't stop asking him.
"Nobody," Nate said for almost the tenth time. Wendy wasn't satisfied
"Obviously someone told you" she said, "I don't need to know the name, all I need to know is if they told you anything else"
I was beginning to wonder if Wendy had told somebody about this morning. Nate sighed, he knew Wendy wouldn't quit.
"Fine" he said, "But I won't say who told me. I heard that you two were kinda, sorta, um a couple now"
Wendy gasped
Wendy's POV
"I heard you two were kinda, sorta, um, a couple now"
Nate sighed from the front seat
I gasped, how could Tam do that to me! She promised not to tell anyone. I trusted her. I pulled out my phone and texted Tam, ignoring Robbie's hopeless attempts to convince Nate that we weren't a couple
Me: HOW COULD YOU!
Tambry: wht?!
Me: u tld nate tht i lked roby!
Tambry:no i didnt i swear!
Me: stp lying i no u tld hm cause
u were the only 1 i told!
Tambry:geesh! did it occur 2 u tht maybe roby
tld some1?
Me yeah, it did tam, but he didnt care tht
he herd it frm some1
Tambry: ok, i tld Thompson, but he nvr would
tell, i tld him not 2
Me: well obviously he told some1
Tambry: ill txt him, k?
Me: hrry up
I put down my phone and looked out the window, tears rolling down my face. I hated crying because it makes me look like a wimp, and i defiantly was
not a wimp.
"We're here!" Robbie said
"I'll be out in a minute" I said
Robbie and Nate left the van and I tried to wipe the tears off my face. My phone buzzed and I picked it up.
Thompson: hey Wendy
Me:What do you want?
Thompson: please dont get mad at me
Me: to late
Thompson: look wen, when tam texted me,
lee had just stolen my phone like he always
does, he must have seen the text and told
Nate, I would never do that to you wen
Me: omg, i feel so mean right now, im srry
Thompson: its ok, r u coming up to the tower
or what?
Me: Oh haha i should probably do that
I got out of the van feeling stupid that I even thought that Thompson would do that to me, but Lee on the other hand. I climbed up the tower and right when I saw Lee i punched him, not playfully on the shoulder, but hard, on the face.
"What the fuck?!" he screamed cradling his face on the floor, "Whats wrong with you?"
"I blame it on hormones" Nate murmured behind me.
I turned around and punched him too
"What the hell is wrong with you Wendy?" he cried, "Robbie control your girlfriend!"
I was about to punch him again but someone came and pulled me back, I walked to the other side of the tower and slid down the side and buried my head in my hands. I had never gotten in a fight like that with any of my friends before and I felt horrible. i looked up and saw Thompson and Tambry, but this time she wasn't on her phone
"Hey" she sighed "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told anyone, I told you I wouldn't"
I smiled the best I could
"Well"I replied, "We were going to have to tell them someday, I just hoped it was after we became an actual couple."
Tam bugged her eyes, "Your not even a couple yet!"
I rolled my eyes
"Duh Tam" Thompson said "Its only been like an hour since they told each other that they liked one another, it only happened that fast in like fourth grade, we're sixteen now, in case you haven't noticed, because you've been on that phone since you got it in fifth grade! you're to scared to get a new one in fear of losing all your contacts!"
Tam embarrassingly looked down at her phone, she hated it when people insulted her.
"Well" she said, "When will you be a couple?"
I laughed, "Your such a child Tam, but I'm hoping next weekend when he takes me to the state fair!"
I watched as her face turned from embarrassed to jealousy in a matter of seconds.
"No fair!" she exclaimed, "I've always wanted to go!"
"I know!" I said "So have I, Stan's fair sucks, especially this years."
"I didn't even go I knew it would suck"
At that moment Tam's phone buzzed and I knew that we were done verbally talking for a while. Thompson had gone by the boys and all I could do was lay down and take a little nap before I had to go back to the mystery shack for my after noon shift, except Robbie wouldn't be working then, and if it was yesterday, I would have been happy about it, but not today.
