The following day at school, Brittany was true to her word. She was a bit late to school, actually a lot late. She made it there right before second period. She was in the hall currently looking for Kasey as she wanted to talk to her and give her something.

Kasey was actually heading to class after leaving the bathroom, where she had spent a lot of time staring at her reflection. She stopped by her locker first to get the right materials.

Brittany soon spotted her by her locker. She took a deep breath and proceeded to walk over to her. "Hi Kasey," she said in a little voice.

Kasey turned to look to see who spoke to her. After seeing Brittany she narrowed her eyes slightly and turned back to her locker and proceeded to get her things. "What do you want? Come to add more to your already extended list of insults?" she asked coolly.

Brittany sighed. "Oh Kasey, no. I came over here to explain some things to you. And to apologize…" She looked down in thought. "You see, the other day when I said those horrible things to you, I only said them because I was jealous," she started.

She closed her locker and slowly turned around to face her. "What are you talking about? Jealous of what?"

"Jealous of you. I saw that you were getting the attention that I wanted from Simon, and I blew up without even knowing that you guys were just chemistry partners. I am so, so sorry. I hope that you can forgive me," Brittany pleaded.

Kasey looked down. "What you said really hurt…" she started.

"I know, and to be honest it was meant to hurt at the time. I was totally being a hater…but…" she then dug in her purse, "…I really want to make it up to you, so…" she pulled out a small envelope, "I went to Jett records today, made a few promises I can't keep, and got you….Are you ready!" she said with a excited smile on her face.

"Um…" she eyed the envelope and then eyed Brittany, "…sure?"

"Well I got you two fully all expenses paid passes to Cal-a-Vie day spa. Where you can relax and get treated like the princess you are. Facials, manicures, massages, the works!"

Kasey's eyes widened and she laughed a bit in disbelief. "Oh my God…"

Brittany laughed as she handed the envelope to her. "But here's the thing…"

"Yes?"

Brittany smirked. "I got you two passes. So you can either take one of your friends or…take me, who hopes to become one of your friends," she said hopefully.

She smiled. "Really?"

Brittany smiled back. "Really."

"Ok…" Though she tried to restrain herself, Kasey couldn't help but to hug her, even for only a moment. "Thank you." She then pulled back and smiled. "I'll gladly take you."

Brittany laughed. "Yay! I have a new friend! Oh girl this is going to be so much fun. You want to go this weekend?"

Kasey laughed and nodded. "Sure."

"Great, I can pick you up Saturday morning at ten. And be prepared to have your life changed because after they're done with you, you will feel and look like a movie star, no lie. And when we come back here on Monday all these fraudulent bitches will be hating on us," she laughed.

Kasey laughed again. "Um ok…"

Brittany laughed. "Well I'll talk to you later, and again I'm sorry," she said.

"It's ok. Seeya and thanks again." Kasey then headed off with a wave.

Brittany smiled and waved before she headed off to her locker to get ready for class herself. She felt so much better now that she had cleared things up with Kasey.

"Gee Brittany, just hanging with geeks left and right I see," came Jasmine's voice suddenly.

Cindy was right behind her. "Hey, how come you never give us free trips to day spas?" she asked.

Brittany turned around and stared at them.

Jasmine crossed her arms as she stared at Brittany. "What's going on Brittany? You're all different now," she pointed out.

Brittany shrugged. "I guess I'm just maturing," she said.

Jasmine arched a brow. "And what? We're not?"

Brittany raised a brow. "Well referring to a nice girl like Kasey as a geek seems a bit petty and immature don't you think?"

Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Whatever, she is," she said.

Brittany narrowed her eyes at her. "And you're an idiot, Jasmine. You still want to cling on to this ridiculous high school social food chain when in reality, we won't be in high school the rest of our lives, and smart hard working girls like Kasey will probably end up being your boss one day. That is if you even make it to corporate America. I doubt you'll amount to anything with your grades, but hey, they're always hiring for the porno industry. You do swallow, don't you? At least that's what Alvin said," she laughed and walked off.

Jasmine fumed while Cindy laughed at her.

Soon it was time for lunch. Simon walked through the cafeteria wondering if he would find Brittany in there. He desperately needed to talk to her.

Brittany was sitting with Eleanor and Alvin yet again seeing that she kind of burned her bridges with Jasmine.

Eleanor looked up at her with a straight face. "You know, I sure will be glad when you finally get a boyfriend, because you're kind of barging in on our time," she pointed out.

Brittany just stared at her while Alvin just laughed.

Simon finally spotted Brittany sitting with Alvin and Eleanor and he walked over to them. "Brittany.." he started once he finally reached them.

Brittany couldn't even look at him; she just stared down at the table. "Hey Simon," was all she said.

Eleanor just watched them both closely as she wanted to know what was going to happen.

Simon continued standing. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked Brittany.

Brittany looked up at him a bit apprehensively. "Um..sure…"

Eleanor smiled a bit. "Yeah, why don't you have a seat?" she suggested, clearly just being nosy and wanted him to stay so she could hear everything.

Simon arched an eye brow at hearing that question as he remember what Brittany said about her sisters being just as nosy as her. But he opted to sit anyway. He sat beside Brittany, farthest away from Eleanor. Then he leaned close to Brittany. "I heard about what you did today," he said in a low voice so only she could hear.

Brittany stared at him a bit nervous. "Oh…well I can explain. See Jasmine was getting on my nerves and…" she stopped and thought about it. "…Wait, what exactly did you hear?" she laughed.

He shifted his eyes, having no idea what she was talking about when she brought up Jasmine. "I meant with Kasey. She told me about it." He smiled slightly. "That was very nice."

She laughed. "Oh that, well yeah I had to apologize; it was killing me."

Eleanor was trying her headrest to listen but she couldn't really make anything out. She sighed as she blew her bangs out of her face, a bit frustrated. She wanted to just scream, "Speak up!"

Alvin noticed Eleanor's behavior and smiled. Then he wrapped his arms her and began repeatedly kissing her face to distract her from the other two.

Eleanor giggled under his advances. "Alvie?"

Alvin simply laughed and kissed her.

Simon smiled at Brittany. "Well she loved it. She was beaming. And I…well I just had to thank you too. I really appreciated that, even if it wasn't for me."

Brittany smiled. "It's really not a big deal. In fact, we're going together. I figure I should get to know her, she seems really nice…"

Simon nodded. "Yeah she is…" He then sighed. "Look I want to apologize for everything I said to you yesterday. I know I'm not wasting my time with you because, well you're doing great," he furrowed his eye brows, "but I would still like to know what exactly made you do that in the first place."

Brittany stared at him for a moment and then looked away. "I…I can't say…"

"Why not?"

"Not here." She then stood up. "Come walk with me."

"Oh…well ok." He then stood.

Eleanor pulled away from Alvin slightly as she looked up at Brittany. "Wait Brittany, where are you going?"

Brittany smirked. "Don't worry about it. I'm just giving you two your time and space."

Alvin smiled. "Thank you Brittany."

Simon just chuckled.

Brittany just shook her head and they both made their way out the cafeteria into the hall. "I didn't want to talk about it in there. It's too loud," she said softly.

Simon nodded understandingly. "So what's up?"

She sighed. "First off…" she then just abruptly hugged him, "I'm sorry and I missed you…"

He sighed contently and hugged her back. "Same here…"

She just continued to stay like that, enjoying the closeness as she closed her eyes. She felt a small content smile grow on her face. "…And to answer your question, you're not wasting your time," she assured him.

He smiled. "I'm so glad to hear that."

She then slowly and reluctantly pulled away. "Well I guess I should explain why I was so upset huh?" she said softly as she walked over to a bench in the hall taking a seat.

He leaned on the wall next to the bench but didn't sit. "I would like that," he said with a nod.

She sighed. "Well, like I said yesterday, I felt that you were ignoring me. I had only spoke to you once and that was that morning…and the fact that you didn't even…you didn't even notice how I looked. I got all dolled up and you didn't even care," she said in a hurtful tone as she stared down at her lap.

He sighed. "I'm sorry about that. I noticed how you were dressed, believe me I did, but I had deadlines on my mind and that's why I didn't stay to talk to you longer."

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Gee, saying, "You look pretty today, Brittany," would have only taken a second, especially since I dressed that way just for you." She then folded her arms.

He was about to comment on the first half of that statement until he thought about what she said in the last half. "…Did you really?" He couldn't help but to smile a bit.

Brittany continued to look away, clearly irritated from thinking about it. "Hello? Uh yeah…and the one person that was supposed to notice didn't."

His smile widened a bit. "But I told you I did notice."

She looked at him with a hopeful expression. "Really?"

"Yes."

She smiled up at him. "Well what did you think?"

"You looked amazing…way more than just pretty."

She stared up at him in disbelief. "Oh…oh Simon really?"

He nodded, and then sat down beside her and took her hands in his own. "So I'm sorry for making you think I didn't care. I assure you that, that wasn't the case. You seem to be the main one I care about…" His eyes never left hers as he spoke.

She smiled as she got lost in his eyes. "I'm so happy to hear that, because….I care about you too," she told him.

He smiled as he reached up and slid his finger through a few strands of her hair. "Great…"

She giggled, a bit surprised at his boldness. "You're a smart guy, so I guess I don't have to tell you, that I want to be with you," she said.

He shook his head. "No…and I guess you've figured out by now that I feel the same way," he said.

"I have," she said lightly as she inched closer to him.

He nodded slightly as he stroked her cheek. "Even better…" He then closed the distance between them and kissed her softly.

Brittany closed her eyes as she felt his lips against hers. She slowly inched her hands up his chest and draped them over his shoulders, moaning lightly into the kiss.

He slid his hands around her waist as he deepened the kiss. Then after a moment, while keeping one arm around her waist, he slid one hand down her thigh, and slowly back up and rested it on her hip.

Brittany giggled against his lips before she then broke the kiss, feeling that she didn't want this to get too carried away as they were in school. "Simon…"

He took a minute to gather his thoughts and then looked at her. "Yes?"

She just stared him in his eyes. "I'm scared…" she admitted.

His eye brows furrowed. "Of what?"

"Of what I'm feeling…I…I love you…"

He then smiled. "Don't be scared…because I love you too."


Aw...wasn't that just cute? Tell us what you thought!
