At lunch Tony headed over to the gazebo near the entrance of the school. He stopped a few feet away and watched Kate fix her hair. She threw it up in a rough ponytail and added some lip gloss. When she was done he took a deep breath and walked over to sit beside her.

"So, Tony what was your old school like? I asked your friends back home where you'd gone and they said your parents sent you away to boarding school," Kate said with a smile.

"Yea that's right. I went to an all boy's school," Tony replied. He looked at her hand which she had placed on the bench between them. He wanted so badly to place his own hand on top, but wasn't sure if it was the right time. He wanted everything to work out, and didn't want to push their relationship to fast.

"An all boy's school? Why did they send you there?" Kate questioned. Tony was unsure how he could answer that question. He knew that the real answer was because he had been spying on her for three years and his parents had found out, but he couldn't tell her that. He did something that he never wanted to do to Kate. He lied.

"Um, they wanted me to have discipline and respect for females," he started. After all this was half true. His parents had sent him to the school so he could learn to have respect for the opposite sex. "A few weeks ago they talked about it and decided I'd been separated from girls long enough so they brought me here."

"Wow," Kate said, edging her hand closer to his leg. "That's a pretty interesting story." A breeze started up and her hair began blowing in the wind. Tony could smell the strawberry scented shampoo she had used on her hair the night before. He wanted to reach out and run his hands through it, and he wanted her to do the same to him. He leaned in and Kate leaned in as well. They closed their eyes and kept getting closer and closer until their lips almost touched. Tony could almost taste her lip gloss, but the bell rang. Kate's eyes snapped open and she stood up abruptly.

"Oh no! I'm going to be so late! See you later Tony," she said as she began backing away.

"See you later," Tony said as he stood up. Kate turned and began walking towards the school but Tony called her name again.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Would you like to go out with me tonight?" Tony called bravely, letting his words travel on the wind to reach her. When she heard them she walked towards him again.

"Are you sure?" Tony nodded.

"I've never been surer of anything in my life." Kate smiled widely and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Then it's a date!" Kate ran off leaving Tony looking bewildered. He couldn't believe that he was going on a date with Kate. He shook his head and quickly picked up his book bag before running after Kate towards the school.

After their afternoon classes, Tony and Jacob retreated to their dormitories so they could do all of their homework before dinner. They sat at their desks and opened up their books. Tony held his pen above his page but didn't write anything. Instead he sat staring out of the window at the girl's dorms.

"Tony?" To Tony Jacob's voice sounded a million miles away, but it was enough to bring him back to reality.

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to take a break? My head can't handle any more long division. It feels like it's about to explode!" Tony agreed and the two of them walked downstairs and grabbed a fizzy drink from the snack fridge. Then they walked back upstairs and sat on their beds to drink it.

"How did the lunch date go?" Jacob asked. Tony sighed, lost in his memories before he replied.

"It was..." he stopped, not sure how to finish the sentence.

"Did you kiss?" Tony shook his head.

"She kissed me on the cheek. Does that count?" Jacob shook his head. "It doesn't does it?"

"No."

"I don't want this relationship to move to fast Jacob. Don't you understand that I love her with all my heart? I can't mess anything up." Jacob took a sip of his drink thoughtfully. "I did ask her out though."

"What? For when?"

"Tonight."

"Tonight?"

"Yes tonight."

"What are you going to do with her tonight?" Jacob asked seriously.

"I don't know." Tony leant back on the wall and thought deeply about what he could do with Kate that night. "I've got it!"

"What? What are you going to do?" Tony didn't answer but hopped up and ran out of the room. He had to get some supplies.

"He what?" Hannah screamed. Kate was talking in her room with her two best friends Hannah and Shaina. Hannah was her roommate and Shaina was the blond that Tony had seen in English class.

"He asked me out for tonight!" Hannah began jumping around the room with joy but Shaina stayed where she was sitting painting her nails.

"Big whoop he asked you out," she said, "what's so special about that? Loads of guys ask me out and it doesn't mean anything. He'll probably just want to shag you then he'll leave." Hannah stopped jumping around and both she and Kate stared at Shaina.

"Shaina how can you say that?" Kate asked.

"Yeah Shaina that's so rude!" Hannah implied.

"Oh boo hoo why don't you both go and have a cry?" Shaina asked her voice as cool as ice.

"Why don't you get out of our room?" Kate asked with a fake happiness.

"Fine. But don't come crying to me when your boyfriend dumps you," Shaina said making quotation marks with her fingers when she said the word boyfriend. Hannah rolled her eyes and Kate watched as Shaina left the room, her nose high in the air.

"So, what are you going to wear?" Hannah asked almost as soon as Shaina left the room.

"I don't know. I want to look nice, but not to eager. I don't want him to think I'm you know, a slut." Hannah nodded and pulled open the closet door. She began searching through all of Kate's clothes, finally pulling out what she thought Kate should wear.

"No it's too, just no Hannah." Hannah looked at the clothes in her hand, shrugged and threw them on the bed before looking through the closet once more. Kate giggled and stood up. She walked over to the closet and pushed Hannah out of the way playfully. As she was searching through the closet she felt a pillow hit the back of head. She turned around slowly and saw Hannah whistling and looking innocent. Laughing, she picked up the pillow and threw it back at Hannah who shielded her face just in time. A full out pillow war began and the outfit was soon forgotten.
