This is for Amanda Granger, who wanted an update!...and for having an awesome name ;) –Amanda
A few days later…
"And here we are, class of 2012" Philby recited then stopped, thinking is sounded too formal. "Hmm, I should ask Willa" he said, as he searched the halls for her.
"Looking for someone?" a voice behind him said.
Philby turned around to see the one he'd been looking for. "You" he smiled "I wanted to ask your opinion."
"On what?" she asked.
Philby grinned "My valedictorian speech…"
Willa squealed with excitement as she leaped into his arms. "Aw you got it! I knew you would!"
"Thanks" Philby said.
"Hey you two, congrats" Finn appeared out of nowhere with Amanda.
"On what?" Philby asked.
"Being valedictorians of course" Amanda said.
"Thanks but…valedictorians?" Philby asked, with emphasis on the 's'.
"Yeah, you're co-valedictorians. That's pretty awesome" Finn said, confused by their confusion.
"What?" Philby and Willa said.
…..
"Looks like everything's working out for all of us" Maybeck said as all the Keepers sat at lunch. Philby had just told the other of their news after Charlene explained her acceptance on the cheer squad.
"I can't believe it! It's like a dream come true" Willa said, happy as could be.
"And I get to share my speech with the girl I love" Philby smiled down at Willa, and kissed her.
"Really? I'm eating" Maybeck exclaimed.
Finn chuckled as Amanda slapped him. "What'd I do?"
"Nothing…obviously" Amanda eyed him, hoping he'd get the hint.
"Oh, sorry" Finn caught on and kissed her quickly before Maybeck could object. Maybeck's ears turned red from the look he was now getting from Charlene.
"So I guess you got some help on your speech right Philbs?" Finn asked, saving Maybeck from the dagger eyes he would probably receive from his girlfriend.
"Sure do" Philby smiled.
"So, anybody else got any BIG news?" Charlene asked, stealing a glance directed at Willa.
Willa's eyes narrowed "I gotta go to class, bye all" she said as she raced out of the cafeteria. Charlene shook her head in disappointment.
"What was that about?" Philby asked. Everybody shrugged and continued with their lunch. Philby wasn't too pleased with that response. "Anything you want to share with the rest of us Charlene?"
She shook her head, avoiding eye contact with him. "Well, I guess I better get ready for class too" he said as he followed where Willa had just left.
"Ok Charlie, what's up?" Finn said once Philby was out of earshot.
"I can't tell you. She doesn't want Philby to know."
"Well than, don't tell. He'd be ticked if we knew something he didn't, believe me, I know the feeling" Finn replied before he could stop himself. He could feel Amanda's eyes on him.
"Really? When are you going to let that go?" Amanda asked, staring him down.
"Uhh right now" Finn answered quickly, smiling at Amanda, who nodded and kissed his cheek as to tell him that was a good response.
"Well, can you at least tell us what it's about?" Maybeck asked, not feeling patient at the moment.
Charlene hesitated but said "her letter…from Stanford."
Finn stopped what he was doing and quickly turned to Charlene, whose face didn't look thrilled. "Did she…?"
Charlene's face didn't respond, but returned to eating her lunch.
Amanda gasped "oh no" she whispered, assuming the worse.
"This just keeps getting better and better" Maybeck rolled his eyes; secretly wishing they were already graduated.
Oh boy! I feel a fight coming on…but between who? Who would you like to see get into a fight? It could go either way the way I have it set up! Doesn't have to be just between couples…I'll take your suggestions into consideration PM me!
