I don't own Waterloo Road

Thanks for the lovely reviews I got, they really inspire me to write more.

Holly left the Music Class with Aimee, Paul and Bolton were in Art class just now, they ran down to the carpark and waited for Paul. The sun was still shining over Rochdale, so far it had been a pretty good summer Paul, Philip and Bolton arrived. "So, are you ready to go" Holly said to Paul. "Yep" the two of them walked off together, Paul nervously took Hollys hand and she felt her heart melt, they didn't say anything, they didn't need to they were just happy to be in each others presence.

Rachel, Eddie and Mel were standing by their cars. "They look happy to be together" Eddie said cocking his head towards Holly and Paul. "Yeah, I'm a little worried" Rachel said "I had no idea she even liked him" Rachel added. "Oh Rach stop worrying, honestly she's always like this" Mel said to Eddie. Eddie smiled at Mel, she was nothing like Rachel, she seemed so calm and relaxed about everything, they didn't even look alike except for the eyes, they had the same eyes.

Mel shouted on her kids to come to the car, both of them came over "Hiya, did you have a good first day" Rachel asked her niece and nephew Phil nodded and Aimee replied "Yeah it was good". "Do you have a lot of homework?" Mel asked her kids. "Just History" Aimee replied. Mel looked at her sister, "Imagine giving kids homework on their first day back" she joked. "imagine that, getting homework at school" Rachel retorted .

Holly and Paul walked to the park hand in hand, the air smelled of flowers and the sun beamed down on them, Holly took her cardigan and tie off, putting them into her bag, she unbuttoned the top couple of buttons on her shirt, it was such a hot day. They sat on a bench by the swings "So, what's it like having your Mum working at school?" Paul asked, "It's a bit of a pain in the arse sometimes, but we're really close". Paul put his arm around Holly and she leaned her head against his shoulder. "Do you see your Dad, I never see mine, he and Mum split up when I was young". Holly couldn't believe that her class mates didn't know her Dad had died, it wasn't something she talked about a lot, but she was sure everyone knew. "My Dad died, when I was 4". Paul couldn't believe he had put his foot in it, what a thing to do in a first date. "I'm sorry, I had no idea" he replied. Holly smiled "It's OK, it was a long time ago, I still miss him though". Paul agreed "Yeah, I know, I miss my Mum as well". Paul was upset, he didn't talk about his Mum much, but he found he could with Holly, maybe because she had lost her Dad, he wasn't sure what it was. Holly hugged him, he responded by putting his arms around her too, soon they were in a tight embrace. They moved their heads back and looked into each others eyes, Holly was sure they were about to kiss, but she hadn't kissed a boy before, she wasn't sure what to do. Paul leaned in and their lips locked, she felt his tongue slip into her mouth. Holly opened her mouth slightly wider and tilted her head so he could get in easier, and she put her tongue into his mouth. "Am I actually doing this she thought" the pair of them were making out on the park bench, she was as happy as a lark feeling so comfortable with him.

The finally parted from their embrace, "That was nice" Paul said to her "Yeah, it was" she agreed. Holly looked around the park, there were lots of kids out with parents and people walking their dogs, everyone seemed happy, but not as happy as she felt right now. The town hall chimed at the other side of the park, 6 times, it was 6pm already, she was supposed to be home for dinner now. "Paul, I have to go, I was suppose to be home at 6" She got up from the bench "OK, I'll walk you home". She smiled "what a gentleman" she said. The started to walk quickly towards Holly's house.

Rachel got home, she had made a lasagne the day before and put it in the oven to cook slowly, it was strange the house being so quiet without Holly coming home from school with her. Rachel took the chance to get on with the everlasting paperwork, and to prepare tomorrows lesson, she only had year 11s and year 8s this year, which was only 4 teaching hours a week. Three hours for the year 11's who were doing their GCSE's this year and 1 hour for the year 8s, they had more subjects to do as they hadn't chosen which subjects to specialise in yet.

Rachel had been so busy she hadn't noticed the time until the oven beeped, it was five minutes to six, Holly should be home by now she thought. She walked to the large kitchen and served the lasagne onto two plates. It was six now, and she still wasn't home, Rachel looked at her watch and sighed, she hated people being late, she was always on time not like her sister, Mel was always late for everything. She put the lasagne into the oven to stop it going cold and waited for her daughter.

They arrived at her house, Paul was astounded when he seen where Holly lived. "This house is amazing" Paul said looking up at the 3 stories. She took his hand and walked to the porch, she caught a glimpse of his eyes again, God she wanted to kiss him. She leaned towards him and they kissed again, Holly was leaning against the back of the door.

Rachel heard a bang at the door, she could see her daughters shadow at the other side of the stained glass window, she opened the door and seen her daughter with her tongue down Pauls throat. "Mum" Holly shrieked "Your late young lady" Rachel scolded in a headmistress voice. Paul didn't know where to look, he was making out with his head mistress daughter and she just caught them. "It was my fault Miss, we just lost track of time" Rachel put her hands on her hips "Your dinners ready, Paul, would you like to stay for dinner" Rachel asked. "Oh No Miss, my foster Mums making homemade Pizza, I better go". Rachel went to the kitchen to get their Dinner and let Holly say goodbye to Paul.

"God that was embarrassing" Holly said "Yeah, just a bit" Paul replied. He kissed her on the cheek "I'll see you tomorrow".

Holly went into the house she was walking on air. She went into the kitchen where her mother was already sitting, Holly's dinner was out as well. "So, what's going on with you and Paul?" Rachel asked her daughter "Nothing" she replied back slightly embarrassed. "Honey, I'm not angry, you like a boy, there is nothing wrong with that". Holly ate some of her dinner and smiled at her mother, Rachel was pretty cool although she was strict she was always loving to Holly, she knew she was fair, and she could always talk to her mother, as far as she was aware they had no secrets, but Rachel did have a secret, which Holly had no idea about yet.

"I like Paul, he's nice, I don't know if I love him, but I'm really happy with him". Rachel took her daughters hand "That's good love, just remember if you need to talk then I'm here,". "I know Mum, no secrets right".

Once they had finished eating dinner, Holly helped her Mum clear up, before starting her homework in the living room, she was half way through her history assignment about why Germany had to sign the Treaty of Versailles when her mobile phone vibrated, she took it out and seen a message from Paul

Great day today, cant wait to see you tomorrow babe XX

She replied back

Yeah it was great thanks, I'll be at school early as usual if you want to meet

He replied back agreeing, and Holly had a text conversation with Aimee, explaining everything which had happened today.

She finished her homework and went to bed.
