LYS IS HERE:)!

Gwen POV

I leave Nate in the staircase and try to find Castiel and/or Ken. I thought about what Nate said. He remember what I wore? I felt my heart flutter a bit. I searched harder and finally found Castiel.

"Castiel?" I tap his shoulder.

"Whaaat?" Castiel moaned. I turn him around.

"Listen I'm sorry for making you and Ken fight. I should have seen what was coming."

"Hahahahahahahahah. Millie? He's still the same wimp I knew back in middle school."

"You knew Ken back in middle school?"

"6th and 7th grade. We were best friends actually." Castiel and Ken, best friends?

"What happened?" Castiel's face hardened the moment I said that.

"None of your business, that's what. Apology accepted. Bye." Castiel stalked off, madder than ever. Well, what happened between Ken and him was their business, not mine. Now to find Ken. I walked out into the courtyard to see a figure in my spot behind the tree.

I sighed, "I'm really sorry, Ken. I should've known what would happen. I hope you can forgive me." A face turned to meet mine.

It wasn't Ken.

"Ahhhrgh!" I shout and fall flat on the ground. A boy with silver hair and mismatched eyes was staring at me. He was dressed in fancy attire, his clothes resemble the ones that the clothes shop owner (Leigh) wore. The silver hair boy shot straight up.

"I'm very sorry, Miss. A fine woman like yourself shouldn't be sitting on the grass." The boy's hand reached for mine and he pulled me up. "So what is your name? My name is Lysander, Lysander Hawkins."

"Gwen. Gwen Breese." He smiled and shook my hand. "It was very nice meeting you Lysander. Hey, have you seen a boy about 5'8 with brown hair and green eyes?"

"The one trotting around in military pants and scowling?" Lysander pointed to the gym, "I think he went in there."

"Thanks, Lysander." I rush to the gym doors and push them open.

"24, 25, 26, 27..." I hear Ken's voice in the corner of the gym.

"Kenny?" I look around to try to spot him.

"Gwen? Are you in here?" Ken's voice bounces off the walls of the gym. I finally find him and walk over.

"Kenny, I'm sorry, I really am." He's laying on the gym floor and I kneel by him. "I'm so sorry I should have known and I-" Ken stops my words with a gentle kiss. While I kiss him, I wait to feel something. Fireworks, no. A flutter in my chest? No. My heart doesn't even race. I just feel...empty. Ken breaks it off and smiles at me. I smile back, though I didn't even feel anything. This was wrong, I was supposed to feel something wasn't I? My heart wants somebody else then. But who?

"I have to go now, see you Gwen." Ken leaves and I sit on the bleachers, the emptiness still in my chest.

Nathaniel POV

Well, it was February and Gwen & I were STILL best friends. Nothing else, just best friends. I checked my locker

Have a great day Nate!

Don't forget to clip the principal's papers in ABC order. She will freak it you don't!

From,

YBF

I smiled. Gwen would give me notes almost everyday. I was going to work on paperwork when the intercom spoke:

"ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS,

FOR OUR FUNDRAISING EVENT THIS YEAR WE WILL HAVE
A VALENTINE'S DAY DANCE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT FROM 6 TO 11

FORMAL ATTIRE IS REQUIRED. DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN
THAT IS ALL"

A dance? That would perfect! I rushed to find Gwen. She was in the middle of getting asked by some senior I don't know when I pushed him out-of-the-way.

"Hey Gwen." I said shakily, and smiled at her.

"Hey Nate, do you have a date yet?" Wait was she going to ask me?

"Uh...no."

"Good 'cause...well.. Castiel and I are going as a group thing. Kinda. We were wondering if you wanted to go with us!" Gwen looked worried that I would say no.

"Of course!" I smiled at her.

"Good. Because I was worried that you were going with someone else." She says but quickly retraces her words. "Wait! I mean you can go with whoever you want. I just really wanted to go with you. And... urm..er I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable Nate! I mean...you really don't have to go...with me...and urm Castiel.. if you don't want to."

"I said I did, didn't I?" I chuckle. "You really didn't have to be so nervous."

Ken was out of town for family affairs and I was excited. Ever since Ken was here I couldn't get any closer to Gwen without him shooting me a glare. He really meant it when he wanted me to stay away her.

"Bye Nate. See you later!" Gwen walks off. I walk down towards my locker, dazed, and I bump into Castiel.

"Watch out, Princess." Castiel pushed me. I put my hand over his loud mouth.

"Castiel, I'm in a good mood, please don't spoil it." Castiel took my hand off his mouth.

"How could I spoil it? I'm the one who made your good mood happen." Castiel opened his locker. "I was the one who asked Gwen to group with me and you."

"Oh yeah, Thanks."

Castiel looked displeased, "Aww. Princess I am not impressed with your performance. I feel underappreciated."

"Castiel, what else do you want me to do?" I sighed.

"Some of your valentine's candy. Then I will be satisfied."

"You can have all of it. You know I hate candy." Castiel snorted.

"How can you? You are a disgrace my good sir!" Castiel walked off.

Castiel got a fair deal of candies from girls too. But who knows how much candy will satisfy that monster. Mel walks up to me with flowers in her hand. Oh man not her again.

"Hey Nathaniel!" Mel batts her eyelashes and stares at me.

"Yeah, what?"

"I was wondering if you had a date to the dance yet?"

"I'm going with a group, Mel."

"Well, what about-"

"Look, Mel, you're great and all but I'm not interested."

"I see, it's Gwen isn't it?"

"W-what?!" My cheeks flushed bright red.

"Haha! I knew it." She laughed. "I never really wanted to go to the dance with you, I just wanted to see if you really liked Gwen or not."

"Why?"

"Well, there are some rumors floating around school..."

"What rumors!?"

"You'll have to find that out for yourself." Mel winks at me and walks away.
