Will

He woke up to papers and notebooks scattered all over his bed. He had his exam this Friday and had been studying hard which he hoped would pay off. He checked the time and his eyes widened, he had twenty minutes to get ready. He jumped into the shower and afterwards slipped into a pair of well fitted dark jeans with a simple white hoddie that was too bright for Will's liking (perks of having a mother who dry cleans all your clothes). He rushed downstairs just in time to snatch a toast from his sister's plate and kiss his mother's cheek. "Hey!" Sara shot back "Make your own breakfast"

"What are you planning on doing today son?" his mother asked her usual question from a result of Will coming home late after school.

"The usual, classes and then I'll be staying at school afterwards to play some baseball with a friend.."

"Don't even think about coming home looking like you ran down a mud slide like yesterday, you're lucky I haven't rung that school and offered them a piece of my mind" he laughed at her words and wrapped his strong arms around her shoulders from behind and kissed her head. "Don't worry mom, it's not raining today, in fact I think it's probably the sunniest it's ever been, I won't get dirty" he let go and took the paper bag full with healthy sandwiches that his mother arranged and placed them into his bag. He checked the time unsure of why his ride hadn't arrived yet that's until Aubrey came running in the kitchen from the living room.

"Willy! A girl is waiting outside for you, she says she's picking you up for school" All three heads snapped in his direction and before he could even reply both his sisters ran towards the front room standing behind the window whilst his mother slowly followed him from behind and stood behind Sara and Aubrey. Before he could even answer his sisters annoying interrogations he kissed his mother cheek. "Have a nice day mom" he said before moving towards the door and turning his attention towards his girlfriend.

"You too son" he heard her reply but was too focused in walking towards Alicia to have his mind on anything else. She was leaning against her car with that all too familiar smirk and pushed herself off just in time for him to reach her and gently pull her against his chest. "Morning" she smiled and he replied with kissing her against the lips, he was right, she does taste like honey. Yesterday was the best day of his life and what made the situation even better was that their first kiss was in the middle of a baseball field amongst the stormy rain, a guy's best possible dream to come true. He felt her giggle against his lips and pull away. "Will" she warned "I can feel you sister's gaze on us" she pushed him away and he grinned.

"You're such a prude" he replied and noted her deep glare towards him making him pull her close and kiss her again. "I was joking"

"You're digging yourself into a deeper whole Gardner" she pushed him to the side and instructs him to hop in the car. He shakes his head in amusement as he manoeuvres his way towards the passenger seat and can't help but notice how happy he is that they're now together. After their passionate kiss in the rain yesterday afternoon he told her that he wanted her and even if she wasn't ready he was willing to wait because in his words he was willing to wait because he 'liked' her. He considered for a split second in telling her that he was in love with her but changed his mind, after all, the last thing he wanted was more pressure to be added on top of everything else included in her life. Granting, he was going to tell her one day, when he knew that she felt the same way.

As they arrived towards the front of the school car park she moans as she sees all the students surrounding the front area including Peter and his pathetic gang whilst they could both clearly see Liz standing beside her car. "It isn't school if there's no drama right?" he says making her laugh

"We could give them something to talk about?" she tilts her head to the side with that all knowing smirk and he grins like an idiot. "Stay here" he instructs and hops out of the car, moving to the side and opening her door. She shakes her head in amusement and as she stands up he blocks her road holding that familiar smirk. She rolls her eyes before gently pecking his lips and they can both here gasps pending from the others and their shocked faces. While she locks the car he straps on her hand bag and she entwines her fingers with his before they begin to walk through the crowd. He feels Alicia squeeze his hand nervously and he notes Liz eyeing them suspiciously and rubs circles on her palm fairly trying to make her feel at ease.

"I think we're going to be the new gossip for the week" she whispers in his ear

"Definitely" he replies grinning and she laughs

"Yay" she fakes

"We could show them some of your baseball skills instead? I'm sure they'll be thoroughly impressed?" he suggest and she slaps him lightly before grasping his hand.

"Don't even think about it Gardner"

"A guys aloud to dream right?"

"Of course, but I think you dream too big" she grins and he pulls her against his side whilst gently slipping his arm around her shoulder and pecking her forehead with a light kiss.

"Dreams are never TOO big, especially when I have a smart intimidating girlfriend like you" he notes her wide smile and that same glisten in her eyes that he hasn't seen for weeks, until now. He knows he has something to do with it and feels ecstatic for that reason.

Alicia

She had been thinking about the kiss all night, his lips tasted like sweet strawberry liquorish and surgery lemon. It was a pleasant mixture of flavours and as she kissed him again the next morning, it tasted the same, like honey but mixed with toast. She felt the same odd tingling sensation when she held his hand and when she wrapped her arm around his waist. He was naturally warm and the fabric of his clothing was smooth making her roam her hands on his chest a little more than usual. They didn't seem to care as they noticed for most of the day suspicious eyes were following them all the time and she could obviously hear sneaky whispers spoken behind her back but didn't care, she was too focused in her study and hanging out with Will to even give one thought to societies opinions. For her whole life she had worked towards living up to everyone's expectations, there was the need to impress her mother when she was kid in which she gave up around the age of 10. There was the obsessive necessity to have a plan because she was afraid of failing but wasn't quite sure in who she was failing, probably her father but she began to realise that he would love her nonetheless. She only just recently came to the realisation that ever since she watched Cinderella when she was a kid she had this idea of being intelligent, nerdy, beautiful, having the perfect family and marrying prince charming who she thought was Peter but she soon learnt (the hard way) that life doesn't work out the way you anticipated it to. It was only the first day of actually being together so that would explain the uneasiness they were both experiencing but it was easy for her and Will to make conversation and then burst in laughter afterwards.

"So you and Will huh?" she was interrupted from staring inside her locker by a girl whose skirt was a little too short and Alicia recognised her as the schools captain cheerleader. Before Alicia could reply the brown head interrupted once again.

"I always wondered why he wouldn't go out with me, I mean I asked him when he first started at this school but he said he wasn't interested and that he had his eye on someone else, I guess I should have seen it coming, I mean everyone's had their eye on the 'Alicia Cavanaugh' for so long; except no one had the guts to ask I guess with Peter and…."

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" it came out more harsh than expected but she really wasn't interested in talking with some incompetent girl whose focus was probably on boys and parties instead of university applications and school work and plus she knows Will is waiting for her on the bleachers so she wants to get away from the building as soon as possible.

"Oh yes, sorry, I'm Helena, we were in the same physical education class in third form?"

It took a while but the memory of the girl before her being much chubbier than she is now drifts into Alicia's mind and she raises her eyebrow before eyeing the girl head to toe. "Oh" she smiles hesitantly before strapping her hand bag.

"Yes" Helena giggles and Alicia doesn't really know why she's laughing but takes it anyway. "I was a little chubby back then" Helena explains and Alicia shakes her head.

"We've all had those times in the past" Alicia replies smiling and Helena nods before eyeing Alicia up and down making her feel suddenly self-conscious.

"I've always liked your sense of fashion. Like, one day you're wearing cool neckline short dresses and then the next you're wearing singlet's and those short flower skirts with stockings and chuck tailors, and then it's like, the next day you're wearing jeans with sneakers and hoddies, it's a weird combination and also odd, I don't know how you can wear jeans but overall it's cool" Alicia can't help but notice how the girl likes to rant and supresses the need to roll her eyes even if the idea of her dressing weird will probably remain in her head for days.

"Well, it was nice to meet… I mean see you again Helena" she waves indiscreetly with a fake smile and leaves the girl standing there ranting something about a goodbye and saying hi to Will for her which makes Alicia roll her eyes as she walks out.

She can see from a far her boyfriend –she'll never get tired of saying that-sitting in their usual spot on top of the bleachers set and as she makes her way towards him she meets a few of her friends from her biology class from last year. She always felt sorry for them because they used to get bullied a lot by pricks like Peter which made her feel slightly sad for them, she felt lucky because she always had the support system from bullies avoiding her due to being friends with Liz except now she doesn't have Liz and instead has Will which, in all honesty she's perfectly fine with. "Hi Alicia" the boys wave to her as she slowly makes her way up the bleachers steps and she beams towards them making them both blush. "Hey guys!"

She notes from the corner of her eye Will shaking his head and smirking and she raises an eyebrow as she moves towards him. "You're like the goddess to the nerds around here" he comments and she slaps him against the shoulder before sitting down in the seat in front of him

"They're not nerds Will! They're my friends" she says and he smiles warmly before setting his legs beside her from behind and wrapping his arms around her shoulders and she feels his chin set on the crown of her head. She sighs and leans against his chest and feels him rub the tip of his nose against her shoulder.

"Do you think I dress weird?"

Her question obviously takes him off guard as he leans back and she turns her head to the side taking in his confused and perplexed expression. "What?"

"My fashion sense, do you think I dress weird? And you have to tell me the truth" she states sternly and pulls her eyebrows together confused as he chuckles

"You're kidding right?" his face falls as he realises she's serious and she feels like kicking herself for even asking.

"No!" he states somewhat offended "I love the way you dress" she smiles at his words and pulls him from his shirt gaining a chaste kiss before leaning against his chest.

"What made you think that?" he asked and she just shrugs.

"I don't know, someone mentioned it and the idea just stuck in my head" she felt him shake his head and then wrap his arms this time around her waist.

"Whoever said that is an idiot. There's nothing wrong with the way you dress, in fact I think it's one of the best styles a guy could ask for in his girlfriend" –he grinned before explaining further. "When I first saw you I had this crazy idea that tight jeans with sneakers were created just for you and then I saw you in a dress and I thought the same thing. Then one day you came to school with those brown boots with a short skirt and a simple white singlet and it was then I realised that you're not only the most beautiful girl but you have a good fashion sense." He finally finished and she couldn't even put into words what she was feeling from a result of his words. She turned around fully to stare at him in full shock and noted the smirk form on his features. "You really think that?" she asked perplexed and he nodded.

"So let me get this right, I met you in May, that was two months ago and all this time you've had this crazy idea of me being the 'most beautiful girl' and you didn't say anything?" she said and he just shrugged. "Yea, but it wasn't like I could tell you that Leesh, have you ever heard of a guy telling a girl that he thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the world?"

"Shakespeare?" she grinned and he smiled. "And just to correct you, I wouldn't say 'the most beautiful girl in the WORLD" she said and he shook his head whilst capturing a chaste kiss against her lips. "Shut up, you are the most beautiful girl in this whole entire universe" she felt her heart and stomach do flip flops in happiness. There was no boy in her entire lifetime who had ever said anything even close to that element and she smiled tenderly before kissing him, this time more passionate. "Except for Elizabeth Taylor" –he added and she slapped him against the chest whilst grinning. "Elizabeth Taylor is old enough to be your mother"

"She's still hot"

"You're funny William" she mocked and turned around so that she was leaning against his chest and pulled his arms in with hers. She loved his warmth.

"You know how much I hate it when you call me William, it reminds me of my mother"

"And you know how much I hate it when you call me a nerd but nevertheless, you still call me it from time to time"

"Well if it means anything, you're the hottest nerd I've seen" she couldn't help but burst into laughter from his words and felt him grinning against her shoulder. As they regained themselves from laughing she sighed in bliss and clashed the side of her head with his as they stared out into the view of the school field and Matt with the rest of them running around like idiots. "This is nice" she said and felt him inhale deeply before replying. "Yea, it is"
