Kendra climbed through her window only to see Gavin waiting in her room. "Hey K-kendra." he said softly, while silently cursing himself for his stutter. His nose was slightly tinted blue. He was no longer wearing his tattered rags, but a pair of dark-washed jeans and a red polo shirt. His hair was swept across his face and fell just bellow his ears, casting a shadow across his face, but he was smiling.
"I'm sorry about your nose." Kendra said "I was just-"
"All is forgiven" Gavin said, saving her from an awkward situation. Kendra sat down on her bed and sighed "What's that?" Gavin asked pointing to her mattress.
"What?" Kendra said as she looked down. She didn't realize all the letters Gavin had written to her were still under her bed now poking out a little. Her cheeks blared red. Gavin walked over to her bed and puled out the letters. He stared at them a while
"Y-y-you kept my l-let-t-ters? Gavin wondered "Why?" Kendra thought about it for a while. She should have left them at home when her family moved, she already had all of them memorized.
"You didn't keep mine?" Kendra asked trying to put the awkwardness on him. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wad of papers.
"I only take them with me everywhere I go" he said with a smile, then shoved them back in his pocket. Kendra was still blushing. Gavin sat down next to her and tucked her hair behind her ear. "The p-past year I was locked in a cell, all I th-thought about was you." Gavin said "Kendra, I'm in l-l-l-l" he started again "I l-love you" Kendra always imagined her first kiss with Braken. She had known Braken less then a year; she meet him a while after winter break and now it was late summer/early fall. Braken never betrayed her, Gavin didn't either. Gavin came back into her life about a year after Navarog was killed. She and Gavin had gone on adventures together, and somehow he always made her feel better. She didn't know who to choose. In this moment she saw Gavin and couldn't resist. She pressed her lips against his soft mouth. His hand moved to the back of her head, and bringing their bodies closer together. His warm tongue gently brushed her lips, moving gradually into her mouth. Her hands were linked around his neck, as she passionately kissed him. Eventually she pulled away. She looked at his face, she remembered the first time she saw him, his lightly freckled nose. He smirked, she remembered that same smug smile as when he had said "I wondered how long it would take you yo figure it out" just before he turned into a dragon and ate her friends.
"That wasn't him" she kept telling herself, but she couldn't convince her heart to let go of the grudge. She was so confused. She got up and leaped out of the window without saying a word.
