Nikita walked down the corridor; tears in her eyes. She got closer to her locker her eyes blurred but her head screamed 'Don't cry he's just a guy'. Unaware of the principle gliding down the corridor. Smack. Nikita looked up her face turning red. "Nikita are you okay?" Principle Rose asked.

"Sir I don't know I just want to cry. I'm afraid I have fallen for your son but he likes me as a friend" Nikita confessed

Percy looked at her, all the emotions over running her eyes. "Come with me this classroom's empty" Percy led the young girl into the classroom and took a seat at the desk. Nikita took the centre view of the desk.

"What has Michael told you about his home life?" Percy inquired.

"He…He said that…that his Mom ran out on you and you had no idea why" Nikita replied insecurely.

"Well I suppose that's better than what really happened and you are the only one who he has mentioned his mom too" Percy informed.

"What happened?" Nikita asked wanting to know more about his previous statement.

"Well his mom didn't run out on us. I mean she did when he was 8months old but she came back 3 months later" Percy took a deep breath. "She…His mom she was ill she had depression when he was born that's why she left she couldn't cope that's why she left and Michael blames himself; but she got help and came back. What happened as of her disappearance I worked a lot and he was at nursery a lot" His eyes gathering tears. "She was only 30 I was 32 when she was pregnant with Michael I asked her to marry me but we decided to wait. When Michael was 10 Sienna found out she had…had Ca…Can…Cancer she was to far along to be helped that's what they told us. Michael's mom my fiancé begged me she begged me not to tell him and se packed a bag and went to live with her sister. When… When she died he was 12 I thought it was the right time to tell him the truth."

"Sir I'm… I'm so…sor…sorry. But what does this have to do with me?" Nikita asked feeling bad and rude.

"We met the same way you and he met. We started in a fake relationship for three weeks. My point is he always talks about you and he even got you a dog" Percy reassured.

"Mikita" Nikita mumbled "Thank you sir and erm sorry for running into you" She apologized.

"Its fine I was actually on my way to find you. Michael handed me a not to give you here" Percy searched for the not the handed it over. "Why were you crying?"

"It's just this guy I'll be fine. Sir Can I go see Michael after school?" Nikita asked.

"Yes here take my key I'll tell Amanda"

"Thanks Mr Rose" Nikita said picking up her bags and left.

Nikita walked into her lesson and was once again greeted by Owen.

"Oh Nikita I knew you couldn't resist me!" He said sarcastically then began touching her arm.

"Oh Owen if you touch me again I'll need 20 showers just to feel clean" Nikita retorted her face serious.

"Oh you know you like it" Nikita rolled her eyes. She began to walk away when she felt a firm grip on her waist as Owen pulled her down to his lap clenching his hands around her restraining her.

"Hey just because the teacher isn't here doesn't mean you can attack someone Owen!" Sonya shouted.

He let go and prepared to get up and go to Sonya when he felt a sudden tingling sensation on the left side of his face. He looked up to see Nikita holding her bright red hand.

The teacher walked in with two notes and said "Nikita Mr Rose sends these for you and says Percy is waiting to take you home now"

Nikita got up and quickly walked out of the classroom her body flooding with relief. \she met Percy at the School entrance. "Michael asked me to take you to 343 Walnut Lane he said he will meet us there" Nikita just followed him she was slightly confused she thought Michael was ill.

The drive took 20 minutes and Percy had Iris by the Goo Goo dolls on as background music.

"What happened?" Michael asked full of concern as soon as Nikita got out of the car holding her hand which was still bright red.

"Well I kind of back hand slapped a new kid in languages for pulling me on his lap." Nikita answered feeling embarrassed.

"Are you okay?" He asked

"Yes just some punk."

"Name" Michael started almost as if he was integrating her.

"Owen Sam Elliot" Nikita replied without hesitation.

"Seriously dad you could have told me he was coming back!" Michael almost yelled at his dad.
