A/N: I've gotten questions about where Amy, Rory, River, and Matt are in this story. At this point in time they would be in 8th grade so not at the same school as the rest of the characters. I plan on bringing them in after this "school year" is done. I promise when they all come in it will be fantastic as Chris would say ha ha Until then it will follow mostly Rose and David but I am trying to include the other couples as much as possible. I am already planning on doing a sequel with them all in college followed after that by each couple having their own story after they finish college. I am a heavy Rose/10th Doctor fan so this story and the college story will follow them as a couple, but involve others. Sorry if there was any misleading in what this story was about, but I hope you all still enjoy it. :)

Rose got off the bus in front of the school the fallowing Monday. She looked up and saw an angry Donna who was watching her older brother and twin argue about something.

"What's wrong?" Rose asked her.

Donna nodded towards the two.

"Just because a pretty boy like you might get asked or can ask anyone and have them say yes doesn't mean I will and even if I did I'm not going," Chris growled.

"Chris you can't just sit at home! You have to go!" David whined angrily.

"Chris doesn't want to go to the dance Friday because no one will ask him and he won't ask anyone and David wants him to go and enjoy himself at least once," Donna clarified.

"I forgot about the dance," Rose said, "are you going?"

Donna shrugged. "Only if someone asks."

"Oh I'm sure someone will," Rose smiled are her.

Donna gave her a questioning look but didn't ask.

"Are you going?" Donna asked her.

"Yeah, there's someone I need to ask though," Rose blushed.

Although David was still attempting to convince Chris to go, his attention was more on what Rose had just said. The bell rang the group said their 'see you's and 'later's before heading to class. David quickly caught up to Rose.

"Um, hi," David said slightly timid. He didn't know if she was mad at him or not and didn't want to make things worse if anything was wrong.

"Ello," Rose smiled at him.

David breathed a sigh of relief that Rose was talking to him. "Did you get that project done with?" David asked.

"Yeah," Rose told him, "how was your weekend?"

David shrugged. "Uneventful besides Jack coming over and Matt making me some banana foster," David said with a faint smile.

Rose smiled, "Did he break something again?"

David gave a laugh. "No he was just being a good brother. So, what are you doing about the dance Friday? I heard you talking to Donna about it a little."

"I plan on going, there just someone I need to talk to beforehand," Rose blushed.

David smirked. "I'm sure whoever it is will be up for it."

They walked into class, their conversation forgotten. They had a test in class and were allowed to leave when they finished. David finished early and went to his locker. When he was about to head to his class he heard Rose's voice around the corner. He crept closer to listen in. He recognized the other voice to be Juliet's.

"So you're really going to ask him? What does he look like?" Juliet asked in excitement.

"Well he's got dark brown hair, and deep chocolate eyes you can get lost in." It had been what attracted Rose to him to start with.

David smirked proudly. He didn't know why it made him so happy that Rose wanted to ask him but it did. He left before he was caught ease dropping.

Classes passed and soon it was time for lunch.

"Hey Donna can I ask you something?" Jack said; he was a little nervous. Sure he'd done this before but his was Donna and he really didn't want to mess things up before they even started.

"Uh sure, what's up freak?" she asked in good nature.

"I was wondering if you like to go to the dance with me?"

Donna blinked in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"Would you let me be your date to the dance?"

"As what?" she asked as she narrowed her eyes.

"Just a dance partner," Jack said, guessing it was too soon to say as his girlfriend.

"Well, I guess sure," Donna said with a smile.

Jack smiled back, "Then my I escort you to lunch mi lady?"

Donna smiled. "You may kind sir."

Jack's smiles widened as Donna took his offered arm and they followed after the others. They all sat down at the table. David looked up in surprise when Rose sat next to him.

"David, how do you go about asking someone to a dance?" she asked nervously.

David flushed. "Just ask them. I'm sure they won't turn you down," David said.

"This is it, she's going to ask you," David thought.

Rose nodded feeling better about it, "Thanks." She spotted Jimmy not far away, "I'll be back in a moment." With that Rose got up and headed over to him.

David's smile began to fade and his heart dropped as she walked away.

Rose smiled at Jimmy as she walked over, "Hey."

Jimmy looked up and gave her a huge smile. "Hello beautiful."

"So I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me."

Jimmy's smile got brighter. "I would love to."

"Great," Rose smiled brightly.

"Just let me know what you will be wearing," he said with a wink.

Rose blushed and nodded before heading back to the table.

David's heart not only fell as Rose walked away from him and towards another guy, but it also shattered when she saw her flirt with him. There was no doubt in his mind that Rose had asked him to the dance. He had lost his appetite and was numb when Rose began to come back to the table.

"You alright," Mickey asked him.

"I, I think I'm going to be sick," David said before getting up and leaving the table. He fled to the bathroom and locked himself in. He sat in the stall and put his head in his hands. His breathing was erratic and he tried to calm himself. He didn't understand why he was feeling this way and why it hurt.

Rose watched him hurry off and worried what had suddenly happened to her best friend, "Is he okay?"

Chris looked at her with a hard and guarded look before getting up and heading towards the bathroom.

"He just wasn't feeling well, must have been the food," Martha said, knowing why David really ran off.

"Oh," Rose said looking concerned, completely unaware what was truly wrong, "has he gone to see the nurse?"

"I'm sure Chris can take care of it."

Chris walked into the bathroom and leaned against the door of the stall David was in.

"David, you want to head home now?" Chris wouldn't blame him for wanting to be alone.

David took a shaky breath in. "I don't know. Why can't I breathe?"

Chris quickly turned to face the door, "Hands over your head," Chris ordered.

David had a history of panic attacks and also asthma so Chris went to work opening the stall door with his Swiss army knife. David did as he was told but he was already having ragged breathing

Chris managed to upon the door with the screw driver, "Do you have your inhaler?"

David shook his head no; he instantly regretted the action when he became dizzy.

"Where is it?" Chris asked, "Does the nurse have a spare?"

"Back-backpack," David stuttered out. Chris gently grabbed his shoulders to steady him. He usually didn't have panic or asthma attacks on a regular basis, but when he did they were on the extreme end.

"Just relax okay, I'll be right back," Chris told him. He then ran back to the table grabbing his little brother's bag before running back. This worried everyone so Jack followed after him.

David leaned his head against the brick wall to his left. His limbs were beginning to tingle and his breathing had become short and shallow.

Chris was back in front of him a moment later, "Here," Chris said after finding the inhaler.

David was already too warn out to take it so Chris had to hold it and press the button for him. After a minute David's breathing had evened out slightly but he was still warn down.

Jack arrived then to find a pale and shaky David with Chris kneeling in front of him, "Hey, you doing ok?" Jack asked seeing that the worst was over.

"Yeah, I'm fine," David said weezingly.

"Bull!" Chris growled. David shot him a look but instead of looking intimidating he looked weak.

"I think it may be a good idea to go home and rest," Jack said

David nodded, too tired to argue. Chris helped him up; he wrapped one arm around David's waist and put one of David's arms over his shoulders. Jack got the door and helped Chris get David to the nurse. They walked into the nurse's office and Novice Hame, the school nurse, came over and helped them move him to a cot.

"What happened?" she asked, directing her question to Chris and Jack since David was out of it.

"He had an asthma and panic attack," Chris said.

"He already used his inhaler," Jack added as she started to write down David admission.

"Thank you. If that is all I need to advise you both to return to lunch or class and continue your day. I appreciate you bringing in your friend, but I will take care of him," she said kindly.

"Do you need us to get anything for you?" Jack asked David.

David looked at Jack and shook his head before yawning. He already had his backpack and that was all he needed, well, all that he could have right now. Jack nodded and after some work and assuring Chris that David was in the best possible hands, he managed to get Chris to leave.

"Would you like to lay down while I call your parents David?" Novice Hame asked remembering his name from when he and his mom visited to drop up of his backup inhaler.

"Yeah," David said with a sleepy tone. He wished he could tell Rose that he wouldn't be in their classes later, but sleep was calling him. His heart squeezed painfully at the thought of Rose and then darkness took him under.

Novice Hame looked up David's file once she was sure he was comfortable and called his home.

"Hello?" Sarah answered middle worried as the caller id had said the nurse office of the high school.

"Hello, is this Mrs. Noble?" Novice asked.

"Yes," Sarah answered.

"Hello, this is Mrs. Hame from the nurses office at Torchwood High School, I have David in the office here."

"Did he have an asthma attack?" Sarah asked, David didn't usually go to the nurse, partly because he was so stubborn but when it was an attack he was usually too weak to argue with going.

"Yes, as well as a panic attack. He is asleep but I was wondering what you would like to do. He can either stay in the office until he wakes up or go to class or you can come pick him up and take him home."

"I'll come get him; do you know what cause it?"

"No ma'am."

"Alright I'll be there to pick him up in a few minutes."

"Thank you," the nurse said before hanging up.

None of the group ate much as they were too busy worrying about David. Rose and Donna were the first to see Jack and Chris as they headed over.

Before they got to the table Chris whispered over to Jack, "I know you're taking Donna to the dance, but I swear if you hurt her, I will kill you before bringing you back and killing you again."

"I kind of thought you might," Jack admitted sheepishly, in all honesty Chris truly scared him sometime.

Chris nodded as the two of them got to the table. Chris wore a tight frown; he looked angry but they all knew that he was just worried.

"He had an asthma attack and is going to go home to rest," Jack said before any of them could ask.

"Why did he have an asthma attack? Is he ok?" she asked. She knew that his asthma attacks were always bad.

"Don't know what caused, but he is okay now, just tired," Jack told her as he sat next to Donna wanting to help relieve her worrying.

Chris shook his head at Rose. She looked as if she wanted to run and check on David but Chris knew that would be the worst thing she could do. Usually she was his raft among his emotions but in this case she was the anchor dragging him down.

Martha put a hand on Rose's shoulder. "He will be ok. It's not his first asthma attack."

Rose nodded but remained quiet, she wanted to see him to be sure he was alright; his attacks terrified her not that she ever told him since she knew it would just make him feel worse. Lunch was over and they went to class

Sarah arrived at the school about 15 minutes after being called and a secretary in the office directed her to the nurse that was just down the hall. She knocked at the door and Novice Hame looked up at her.

"Hello I'm here to pick up my son David."

"Yes, he is back here. Poor boy fell asleep."

"Yeah he's usually pretty tired afterwards," Sarah came in and went to the room Mrs. Hame motioned to. David who was fast asleep on one of the cots, his bag next him. Sarah knelt next to him placing a hand on his shoulder to wake him.

David opened his eyes slowly. "Mom?"

"Hey honey," Sarah smiled at him, "come one let's get you home."

David got up slowly. He was still drowsy but he was able to stand and walk just fine. Sarah had grabbed his bag and led him to the car. Sarah opened the car for him and went ahead on reclined the seat so he could sleep on the way home. She then put his bag in the back seat while he clambered into his seat and buckled up. Before she even got into the driver's seat he was out. Sarah glanced over at him before starting the car and heading home, once there she guided the barely awake David up the stairs and into his room. David slept the rest of the day. It was about the time Chris, Donna, and Matt got home that he woke up.

Donna looked in at him, "Gonna sleep the day way, space boy?" she joked gently with her twin.

David groaned as he sat up. "What do you want Earth girl?" he asked her with a small smile and mocking tone.

She smiled knowing things were going to be okay now, "How are you feeling?"

"Tired still."

She nodded. "Here I was told to bring you this since you didn't really eat since breakfast," she said as she handed him a banana.

David smiled. "Thank you," he said before taking a bite of the fruit.

"Yeah just don't go scarring us like that again. Even with the food they serve never a table so terrified at lunch."

David smiled. "Sorry. Everyone ok now?"

"I promised to call Rose after I saw you," Donna said honestly.

David swallowed hard. His stomach sank and his appetite was lost. He put the banana to the side, forgotten, as he tried to calm his elevated breathing.

"Do I need to get mom?" Donna asked him.

David shook his head. He had been a burden to enough people.

"Talk to me," Donna requested setting next to him on the bed.

David shook his head. He didn't know where to begin so instead he put his head on Donna's shoulder, seeking comfort. Donna sighed softly hugging her older brother.

"I don't know what to do Donna," he admitted.

He had never been good with emotions even though he was older. It wasn't his fault though; he only had his family and Rose as his friends growing up. He never had anyone outside of his family besides Rose and even when his emotions began changing he had nothing to compare it to so he thought it was still feelings for a friend.

"I know," Donna said not sure what else to say.

The two of them sat on his bed. Neither knew what to do besides sit.

"You should really try eating that before Chris gets it," Donna pointed at the banana lighting the mood.

David chuckled. "He can have it, I'm not that hungry."

"Nope not buying it, you haven't at since breakfast," Donna shook her head.

"Donna, don't."

"Oh come on it's a banana since when have you ever said no to that," Donna laughed.

David couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips. "Well nothing like this has ever happened before."

Chris looked in to see what was going on and spied the banana in question, "Are you going to eat that?"

Instinctively David quickly grabbed the yellow fruit before Chris tried to steal it; Donna nearly fell off the bed laughing at them.

David glared at Chris and he glared back but there was a grin playing on his lips. Just then Matt came running in and tackled Chris from behind. Chris stumbled slightly but was able to regain his footing.

"Are you doing ok David?" Matt asked as he got off Chris's back.

David nodded. "I'm doing a little better."

"What happened?" Matt asked, not realizing he was pushing David.

"Matt," Chris hissed.

"It was just an asthma attack," Donna said and Matt finally picked up that he was supposed to drop the topic.

Matt looked at his older siblings. Sometimes he felt left out because they all seemed to know things and wouldn't tell him. Matt swallowed and took a step over that line that Donna had drawn.

"It has to do with Rose doesn't it?"

David flinched and dropped his head slightly. Chris pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Donna sighed she had just gotten David in a better mood and Matt had to go and say rose's name.

"Yeah," David confessed.

He smiled slightly. Matt saw how he had upset his brother and chose to be quiet. Tom called for the kids to come get dinner. All of them but David went down. A few minutes later Sarah came in.

"Hi mom."

"Hey honey," she smiled at him, "feeling any better?"

David shrugged. "A little though I'm not that hungry."

"Ok, I'll save you some for you but you need to try to eat something."

"Ok," he said. As she was about to leave David called for her. "Mom, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

Sarah crossed the room and she sat next to him on the bed. She was surprised when he leaned into her. She wrapped an arm around him and patiently waited for him to talk.

"I don't know what to do. Rose asked another guy to the dance Friday, which is fine, brilliant even, but it hurts and every time I think about it I can't breathe. I don't know how to make it stop hurting."

Sarah rested her chin on his head, "I know the feeling, before your father and I started dating he dated a girl named Leela. Every time I saw them it hurt me," Sarah told him, "I'm afraid dear that you'll have to be strong and wait this out." She wished there was more she could do or say to him.

"So just be her friend?" David asked and sniffed. He gave a watery smile. "I guess it could be worse, they could be dating rather than just going to the dance together. Mom, Chris and Jack said I love Rose, what do they mean exactly?" David had been wondering on this for a while. He didn't know what love other than loving his family felt like. He was sure that his brother and Jack were not referring to his love being a love like the love he held for his siblings.

"Well their probably referring to a love like I have for your dad, or at least the think they are. Do you feel different towards than your other friends? "

"I don't know. I don't think so. I mean she's my best friend that's all," David said, still unsure.

"Ok if you say that's all I believe you," Sarah believe her son was confused by these feelings, they were all new after all.

"I love you mom," he said as he gave her a hug.

"I love you too dear," she hugged him back, kissing his head.

David stood up. "Maybe I will try to eat a bit," he said. He knew his mom was worried so he would try to act like he was better for her sake.

She smiled at him, "I'm glad to hear it."

Sarah followed after David. She knew he was still hurting but she hoped that things would end up better when the dance was over. She didn't expect David to immediately realize he loves Rose more than a friend, but she hoped that he would realize that he wanted to be closer with her and somehow things would just progress on their own. They joined the rest of the family downstairs for dinner.

"There's my third son! I was beginning to think I imagined you," Tom said with a chuckle and wide smile. He was trying to cheer David up; him and David had always been really close.

David smiled. "Maybe I still am."

Donna poked him, "Feels real enough."

David smirked and tickled his sister. "Does this feel real?"

Donna laughed pulling away, "Oi watch it."

David laughed. He honestly felt better being around his family. It still bothered him that he couldn't figure out why his emotions were a raging storm, but he was sure it would calm after this weekend and everything would be back to normal; he would have fun with his family and Rose would be back by his side.
