Sorry it's been forever but I'm depressed. My dog Sage died. It's just been hard for me. Here's chapter three:

I walk into Pas de Deux class holding John's hand. He and I have connected more since the incident with Isaac. I realized that I love him. We've been saying 'I love you' a lot and have been sleeping in the same bed together.

Miss Raine walks into the classroom. "All get with your partners. Warm up until I get back. I want to have a word with Lily Webster and Jonathan Tickle!" she says.

We go out to the hallway. "We've only been sleeping together. That's all!" John protests right away. I take his hand, rubbing it in mine. She laughs at his comment. "No, as all the first years do, you two must spend twenty-four hour finding out about your partner," she tells us. She hands us a bungie cord. She goes back in the dance room.

John ties the cord around me, then the other side to him. Now I'm in his arms. "Let's go to the beach. I will invite the gang," he says as he walks. "Let me walk!" I scream. I start giggling.

We find Taylor and Todd sitting at a booth, asking questions. "Hello," I say to them. Taylor is super shy, so she's afraid to mention her relationship. Ryan walks up to us with a girl from class. She has short, pink hair and blue eyes. Next comes Nicole with a guy with brown hair and brown eyes.

"Look at the two couples," Nicole laughs. Taylor blushes, I do too. Todd and John high five each other. The boy with Nicole kisses Nicole. "I'm Zeke, Nicole is both my partner and girlfriend," he introduces himself. I see the jealousy in Ryan's eyes.

"Todd, John, word in private," Ryan requests. I follow the guys in private. "Wait, why is she here?" Todd asks not trying to be mean. John lifts the bungee cord, showing it to them. It's a sign that we are inspectable. "Okay, I realized that I really like Nicole. Do I have no chance now?" Ryan asks. The guys give him a doubtful look. "Ryan, she likes you. She told me right away. I think she's going out with Zeke, because she believes that she'll never be with you," I say.

They all look at me. They want me to continue talking. "Why don't you make her jealous with your partner?" John suggests. I shake my head, disappointed. "That's my sister, I should never do that," he says. Todd laughs, John snickers, I try not to laugh.

"Ryan, I have a better idea. John and I will take Nicole and Zeke to the beach. You will set up a party with Todd and Taylor and some of the older students. You'll prove that you love her,"I plan this for him. They agree with my plan.

"Come on guys! Let's go to the beach, both bonding and fun!" I say to Nicole and Zeke. "Of course, let me get my bathing suit," Nicole squeaks. Zeke grabs her waist. "Sure," he says.

John and I get changed into bathing suits. Going down the hallway, we run into Tara and Ben. "Hey, can you come with us to the beach?" John asks them. We both want them to come. As the guy of the relationship, John takes the action of asking them. "Sure," they agree at the same time.

All six of us meet up at the steps of the academy. Tara and Ben know the way to the beach. I've never been to the beach in Australia. I can never trust the beaches for the incidents. Nicole runs for the water.

As I'm dragged by John to the water, I feel safe. The cord is tight around my waist. "Don't be scared," he tells me. "I've never been to a beach," I warn him. The water is a cool temperature. It's fun to be here.

John dives under the water. I feel the current stronger than before. I feel my body being pulled out. I try to swim under the water. The cord fell off John. Something hits my head, making me lose my air. I sink to the bottom of the sea.

I wake up on the beach. I cough something up, I think it's a jellyfish. My organs feel full. John is laying next to me. "You okay beautiful?" he asks. The sound of the ocean is in front of us. I cough another jellyfish up. "What happened?" I ask. "Well, the cord came off. I was swimming. I saw you get hit by a rock. I caught you as you fell. I'm so sorry," he explains.

I look down. I ruined the plan and time with John. He holds me close. Tara and Ben come over to us. "How you feeling?" Ben asks. I rest my head on John's lap. "She just feels weak," John tells them.

Nicole drags Zeke over. "Oh my God, are you okay? My babe and I were worried," Nicole rants. When she gets freaked out, she rants. "Yeah, totally was worried," Zeke lies. He looks like he doesn't even care that his girlfriend's best friend drowned. John moves me onto his lap. His phone suddenly goes off.

"We have to get back to the academy. Todd says there is something wrong with Ryan. They can't figure out why," John tells us. I know that the party is ready. Ben, Tara, Nicole, and Zeke get up and start walking. John moves me off his lap. I open out my arms, wanting to be carried. "Please, John," I beg with my puppy dog eyes.

He ends up giving in and carrying me piggy back. One of the many reasons why I love him, he tries to do anything for me. Tara gives us a doubtful look. She must not support my happiness. John makes me feel like an angel. We finally get back to the school. He stops me before we can go into the school. "Babe, I'm so sorry trouble is after you," he says. I wrap my arms around his neck. "It's okay, love. You make the pain go away," I confess. We separate the distance between our lips. This is so natural for us.

There is a tap on our shoulders. We break to see Todd standing there. "He is ready, but he requests all his friends to be there. So, stop your make out session," he says. I blush a deep red. I look to see John's cheeks red as a tomato. John places his arm around my waist.

In the party area, Ryan stands on a small stage made for two. "How are you all feeling tonight?" he screams to the crowd. They scream wonderful things. John, Todd, Taylor, and I start wooting. "Okay, there's a special girl out there who I've liked since day of this school. She is most gorgeous girl I've ever met. She is so smart. Also funny. Down to earth. When I'm down, she picks me up. Nicole Denude, I love you," he says.

Nicole fights her way through the crowd. She makes it up the stage. "Why didn't you say this day one?" she asks him. He wraps his arms around her. "Because I was a scared idiot," he admits. "Kiss, kiss, kiss..." the crowd chants. Ryan leans in and kisses Nicole.

John starts to slow dance with me. The music is soft, but romantic. "This has been the best day of my life," I say. He leans in and kisses me. This has been the best year of my life so far.
