The trip's over and the characters are getting back in school; everything seem to be normal, but…
"He asked me out!" said Blue
"It's about time" said Crisolite
"Yeah, even I saw that coming" said Turmaline
"Congratulations" said Scarlet
"Thanks Scarlet" said Blue
The burnet was happier than ever and the others couldn't help but smile to her; however the lunch was the funniest thing ever; Yellow, Jade, Turmaline, Scarlet and Crisolite shared a table that for some reason was in front of the table where most of the guys where. Platina sat with the girls also, making the situation a stare contest; where the first cached staring loses… ever played that? And the first to loose was Gold, since he walked straight to their table
"Hey Yells; look who's coming" said Blue
All of the girls looked from Gold to Yellow with an amused look
"Can we Talk for a while?" asked Gold
"Sure" said Yellow
She stood up and walked with him out of the cafeteria
"Who wants to know what they are talking about?" asked Blue
"We already know" said Crisolite
"She's right" said Turmaline
"Well I'll go with Blue" said Scarlet
"I'll go too, I'm lost with all this" said Platina
"Well I'm not getting myself involved" said Jade
"Fine! Then it's Scarlet Platina and I" said Blue
"Why I get a bad feeling about this?" asked Turmaline
"Let them be… if something happen they can't accuse us" said Crisolite
The three girls stood up and went in the direction that the other too took
"They're never growing up" said Crisolite
"You sounded like and old lady" said Turmaline
"You're right" said Crisolite
-With S, B&P (Scarlet, Blue & Platina)-
They saw them and hide behind a wall
"Well… it's a bit hard to say" said Gold
"I needed to tell you something too" said Yellow
The girls had to whisper so that those too wouldn't listen
"Is she going to say what I think?" asked Platina
"Shhh! This is getting interesting" said Scarlet
Gold sighed and looked at her with a half-smile
"You'll go first!" said Gold
"Well… you'll see; I like you a lot" said Yellow
Then his smile grew wider as she looked down to the floor with an obvious blush in her cheeks; he raised her head so that he'd be able to look at her and kissed her
The girls jaws-dropped; Blue was the first to react but all she did was…
"Oh My Goodness!" said Blue out loud
Both got apart and looked at her with a mixture of feelings; she smiled at them and both blushed; the other too came out and said apologized for Blue
"Still… there's something bugging me" said Blue
"What is it?" asked Platina
"Are you two a couple now?" asked Blue
They changed a look
"What do you say? Would you like going out with me?" asked Gold
"Sure" said Yellow
"This is so sweet!" said Scarlet
"Let's go girls, we still have to see who's next one" said Blue
She started walking away and soon enough the other two were behind her…
The fencing class was something that he was waiting for; after all he didn't saw that guy in the island or at least he didn't thought seeing he… the speechless sword-master was a mystery that he wanted to decipher; when he got to the class he saw the teacher talking with that guy, he recognized him since he was the only one with the mask on
"Where were you all this time? I didn't saw you in the island" said the Teacher
He made a gesture with the hands that Green couldn't understand
"You said you were in the same age as Oak" said the Teacher
He nodded and Green started thinking on who could he be, but no one seemed to fit the bill
"I have an idea, you'll battle with Oak once more and if he wins you'll take you're mask of" said the Teacher
The mysterious guy looked at Green and nodded, he was prepared for this too; both took places and waited
"Hangar!" said the Teacher
The battle started, it was a tough battle and at the end Green won; that meaning that it was the time to know who was the masked guy… with a couple of seconds the mask was off, the hair felt as the faces were shocked; standing in front of him with a half-smile was…
"Candice?" asked Green
"The very same… I guess I had to leave" said Candice
She turned and walked away he stood there frozen for a second before following her without listening to the jokes of his classmates
"Wait!" said Green
"What?" asked Candice
"Why did you let me win?" asked Green
"Jeez! You might be the only person in the whole wide world that complains about that" said Candice
"You shouldn't had; fencing is not like any sport" said Green
"Did I touch a nerve?" asked Candice
"Don't play dumb" said Green
"Who's playing?" said Candice
"You are!" said Green
"You know what?" asked Candice
She stopped they were so close, both stepped away looking otherwise so that the other wouldn't see how red they were
"If you want a rematch so badly, then fine… say the place and the time" said Candice
"How about in the recess near the statue?" asked Green
"There's a statue?" asked Candice
"It's the place where we meet" said Green
She blushed a little more if it was possible
"Fine by me; see you there!" said Candice
She walked away doing her usual two-fingers wave and disappeared in the crowd; 'What did I have just done?' thought Green
While in art class Crisolite managed to lose her watch again, and Pearl found it again… He took the thing from the ground and sighed, then looks around and decided to look for her to give it to her; but he had another class before he could do that
Once the last class of that day was over with, Candice ran to that spot where he said to meet; in the meantime she bumped into someone
"Look out!" said Candice
"I'm sorry; I was thinking in something" said a male voice
She looked at the guy to find that blonde guy that was always with her sister, 'what was his name again? Pearl? Yeah I'm pretty sure it's Pearl' thought Candice; she then realized something
"Hey, what are you doing with Crissy's watch?" asked Candice
"Well… she lost it and I was looking for her so that I can gave it back to her" said Pearl
"I can gave it to her if you prefer" said Candice
"It's ok, I have to talk with her anyways" said Pearl
"I see" said Candice
He moved away to let her walk through
"Anyways… Good Luck" said Pearl
"Thanks" said Candice
He turned and walked away; she turned also and went running again 'Talking about a nice guy… however it's not my kind of guy' thought Candice. She got to the spot a little early and used the time to rest from running and taking her sword out; when she finished he arrived ready to fight and she stood up
"You know, it's not nice to make a lady wait" said Candice
He rolled his eyes and took out his sword; she sighed and went to the usual pose also
-Meanwhile behind the bushes-
Crisolite was drawing till she heard the voices of her sister and Green; as you can imagine she got interested and decided to watch the match from there… Pearl found her looking throw the bushes and wondered what she would be seeing and sat down next to her to watch also
-Back to the fight-
Once again it was a tough battle; both were playing fair and square and that was noticeable… this time she won
"I knew you'd let me win" said Green
"It was a matter of fact" said Candice
He smiled making her blush a bit
"There! That's the girl I like" said Green
She looked at him both surprised and red as someone can be; 'did I say that out loud?' thought Green…
"I like you too" said Candice
She started walking away; it was a bad habit of hers to do that; however this time she was stopped by him
"What do ya'…" said Candice
She stopped when she realized that he was a mere inches from her and…
-Back to the bushes-
"Wow! I didn't saw that coming" said Crisolite
"Me neither" said Pearl
Then both looked at each other and realized how close they were and had to move away
"When did you got here?" asked Crisolite
"Well… I was looking for you" said Pearl
"Why would you do that?" asked Crisolite
"You lost this… I came to give it back" said Pearl
"My clock! Where did you found it?" asked Crisolite
"It's a long story" said Pearl
"Thank you very much" said Crisolite
"It's not a big deal" said Pearl
She smiled and he blushed a little; then he remembered what he wanted to tell her… it'll be hard but he was sure about it
"Also I needed to tell you something" said Pearl
"And what would that be?" asked Crisolite
"You'll see… I really like you, and it's been a while since I noticed but I couldn't tell you before" said Pearl
"Really? Well… I like you too, in fact I think it was from the day when you gave me that tour" said Crisolite
"Then why did you choose Green?" asked Pearl
"Well… I might had overheard your conversation with Diamond" said Crisolite
"We were talking about you" said Pearl
"Wow! Who would thought that I could get to mess everything up?" asked Crisolite
"Well… I should have told you before" said Pearl
"You didn't know" said Crisolite
"I do now… and I'm glad to know it" said Pearl
She gave him a sweet smile that he answered with a half-smile and then he sat closer and…
"Would you look at that? Isn't it sweet?" asked Candice
"Why am I not surprised?" asked Green
Both blondes blushed furiously but changed a look and started to laugh
"I guess that we were the only two that didn't know" said Crisolite
"Why does that always happen?" asked Pearl
"Who knows" said Candice
Green nodded and then the four started talking about lots of things; it was obvious to everyone who looked at them who was with who and why they were together… because knowing about other's life it's just one of the things that make high school what it is; but hey! You know what they say…
High School Never Ends
