Hey you guys! I've gotten 3 really nice reviews so far and that makes me really happy, but I think I'm going to hold out for 10 before I post the next chapter.

Selena and I didn't have any classes together in the morning, so we went our separate ways. In my third period class, I got a text from her.

-Bonjour. I'm in French,

Of course she was in French; I knew her schedule as well as I knew mine. But I didn't say that.

-Well, I'm in Geometry. Save me!

My phone buzzed again. I peeked at it when my teacher's back was turned. Instead of it being Selena like I expected, it was my mother.

-we r going 2 bbq festival this weekend, remember. u shud bring 1 of ur friends wit us!

I groaned quietly for two reasons. One, my mother attempted to be 'cool' by texting in the typical text-speak. Two, every year my family went to a two-day festival that was centered around music, barbeque, and crafts. My mother had been bugging me about bring 'one of my little friends' along. Sometimes I thought my mom was more excited about my social life than I was.

I glanced at my phone. It had been about five minutes and Selena hadn't texted me back yet. She usually replied in moments.

When my phone buzzed again, it was Selena. Seeing her name in my inbox made me smile.

-Look outside.

While Mr. Lewis was writing something on the board, I looked out the window on my right.

I almost fell out of my chair.

Selena's eyes were staring back at me. When she saw I had seen her, she raised her head into full view.

'Hi,' she mouthed.

'What are you doing?' I mouthed back. While it probably looked like I was shouting, I was still smiling. Selena sneaking out of class to look in my math class was beyond words.

She just motioned toward the door. I tilted my head, confused. All of a sudden, she seemed to see something I didn't and ducked down. My head whipped to the front of the classroom. Mr. Lewis had just turned back around to explain something.

Once again, I got another text.

-Meet me in the hall.

Selena's wish was my command

I raised my hand.

"Demi?"

"May I go to the bathroom?"

"What I'm teaching is important-"

"But, um, it's a feminine problem!" I blurted. I could feel a blush creep to my cheeks as a few people snorted. I hadn't meant to say that.

If I thought my face was red, Mr. Lewis' face was ten times worse.

"Erm, yes, well, ah…" He seemed to be at a loss for words and could only manage to motion towards the door.

I hurried out. Once I had closed the door, a pair of hand snuck out and whirled around my waist. I gasped as I looked up to see Selena as she pinned me to the wall. I glanced quickly at the door to see if anyone could see. Luckily, we were out of sight.

"Hi," she giggled.

"You scared me," I said, putting my hands on her forearms. Her hands were still on my waist.

"Boo."

Selena glanced at the math room, then back at me.

"C'mon."

She took me by the hand and pulled me down the hallway.

"What are you doing here?" I giggled.

"You told me to save you."

Those words turned my insides to jelly. No one had risked being caught at anything to 'save me' before.

"Mission accomplished," I mustered.

We walked to the water fountain and leaned on either side. Our hands were still intertwined, so we began playing with each other's fingers.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"I walked," Selena said with a smirk.

"You know what I mean."

"Eh, I just asked if I could go to the bathroom."

"Me too. Let's not be liars."

We went inside the bathroom. No one else was there. I turned a sink on and pumped soap into my hand, then put my hand into the stream of water.

"Ah. It's warm," I murmured, tilting my head back.

"Let me feel," Selena said, reaching forward. Her hand bumped mine and I almost jerked it back- not because I didn't want her touch, but because of the shivers that went down my spine.

Selena's hand touched the water, then jerked back. Some water droplets splashed on my shirt.

"Hey!" I said at the same time Selena said, "It's hot!"

"And on my shirt!"

Selena eyed the small stains on my shirt.

"I'm sorry," she said, but there was a grin on her lips.

I flicked my fingers at her face, scattering a little water on it.

"Oh my gosh!" Selena said, and lunged for the sink beside mine, turning it on.

She got some water in her hand, then turned around at me in playful menace.

"Now, let's be reasonable, Selena. Selena? Oh, buddy of mine?"

"No such luck." Selena threw the water at me.

I gasped, then broke out into a huge smile. We went back and forth, splashing water at each other.

Selena grabbed my wrist right as I was going to get her.

I relinquished happily as she just held my wrists in between both of us. To say the least, we were a little damp.

"We're going to be late," I said.

"I know," Selena sighed. "I should go."

"Thanks for breaking me out for a while," I replied wistfully as she released my wrists.

"Anytime." I left the bathroom and turned right while she turned left. I couldn't resist looking over my shoulder to see Selena walking away.

She was walking backwards, looking at me.

I smiled, and gave a little wave before turning back around. My smile stayed put as I walked down the hallway. Looking at Selena looking at me made me giddy and reinforced my belief it was meant to be.
