Hiya, finally here is chapter 2. I got the idea for this chapter from Codename-ChameleonGoode. Enjoy!

"Hey Professor," Luke asked looking up at his mentor.

"Yes Luke," Layton answered.

"Where my parents good friends when they were in University?"

"Well, I wouldn't exactly say that. At first it seemed as Bren-I mean your mother couldn't stand your father, but then after a few months they began to fall for each other,"

"Hmm, as they say opposites attract," Luke smiled. Layton chuckled at the boy's innocence.

"Yes, you could say that…in fact it was a very interesting story," Layton began. Luke leaned forward; hanging on Layton's every word.

'Good morning Hersh," Clark waved, walking through the university canteen towards him.

"Hello Clark, how are you this morning," Hershel smiled, running his hand through his brown afro hair. Clark took a seat beside him rubbing his hands together nervously. Hershel's intuition quickly picked up on this.

"Am I right in thinking that something is troubling you?" Clark made no response and just continued to fidget, looking constantly at the canteen entrance. Hershel clicked his fingers which immediately got Clark's attention.

"Hmm?" Clark grunted "Sorry, it's just…um…uh," Clark paused when he noticed Brenda, followed soon by Claire, heading over to their table. Clark's nervous behaviour worsened. Hershel looked at Brenda, over to Clark and then back to Brenda. He chuckled to himself.

"Um Claire, could I borrow you for a second?" Hershel smiled glancing up at her. "I need to return a couple of these books to the library,"

"Of course," Claire smiled picking up one of the books. Clark realised what he was doing and shot him a quick glance of disapproval. Soon, Hershel and Claire had left the canteen and were now out of sight.

Brenda sighed before taking a seat beside Clark.

"What's the matter?" He enquired in a caring tone.

"Well I am glad those two left as I have been meaning to talk to you," Clark's heartbeat began to rise.

"Gressenheller is holding a formal event for the first years next week and I was thinking, um, uh,"

Clark smiled, trying to contain his excitement. He caringly placed a hand onto her knee, urging her to continue. Brenda cleared her throat.

"I was thinking if you would like to go with me," Brenda looked at him with her piercing black eyes. Clark gave no reply and simply leaned forward and kissed her. Both closed their eyes and relished in the moment. It went on for what seemed like forever before Brenda pulled away.

"So is that a yes?" She smiled causing both to immediately start laughing. Clark reached over and put his arm around her. Brenda's cheeks shone with a crimson glow as she tucked her hair behind her ears. They sat there for a few moments, delighting in each other's company.

Meanwhile Hershel and Claire headed over towards the canteen, stopping at the entrance.

"Look!" Claire whispered, pulling on Hershel's sleeve. Hershel looked over to see his now more relaxed best friend embracing his high-school sweetheart. He smiled for he had never seen him so happy. But, in a way this saddened him as he had not had the courage to do what he had done. He looked over at Claire who was now tying up one of her shoes. He felt his heart sink.

'One day' he whispered to himself.

So what'd you think? I know it was a short chapter but I didn't want to just start babbling. I hope you liked it. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for an update.

P.S. Don't forget, I am open to suggestions for chapter ideas!
