So many things were rushing through Winrys mind as she was opening her locker. People were definetly talking about her, she could hear that. She felt like all the eyes in this hall were staring at her.

"Yeah, I saw her at the party with Edward."

"No way!"

"You think they're together?"

"No, I don't think so.."

"It's Edward Elric we're talking about."

"Yeah, you're right.."

"But still.."

She heard a couple of girls talk. She sighed. Why were people already assuming they could be together. Nothing happened at he party between the two. She had to admit, she didn't know what she felt for the mysterious boy she only knew for about a week now. She felt like there were so any things about him that she didn't know about him yet but never got the chance to really get to know him more. That one time they were alone in the forest was the only time she had actually spend some time with him without getting interrupted. But still, he hadn't told her much about himself. She had been focusing too much on the fact that his mother died and he had been distancing himself from the others. That was all she knew. So why was she feeling like she knew him much longer? She was feeling comfortable when she was around him and there never was an awkward silence between the two. She didn't know what it was, but she was curious. Curious about him and curious about what that thing between them was.. She knew there was something. Some kind of connection. She kind of felt like she could relate to him and she just couldn't stop thinking about him.

When she closed her locker again she saw a blonde face that had been hiding behind it.

"Hey Win." Al greeted her. Then there was an arm around her suddenly. She turned around. Riza. And next to her Roy, Mei, Havoc, Ling and Lan Fan.

"Oh, Hey guys." Winry said. She clearly sounded tired.

"So, how are you feelin'?" Riza asked her. Winry did look much better then she did two days ago. She seemed as she could walk normally again.

"Much better, I just needed some rest.." Winry said.

"You don't sound that good." Mei said a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm fine.. I'm just a little.. stressed.." Winry said.

"So you've noticed them too.." Lan Fan said.

"The evil glances I get from nearly everyone on this school? Yeah, I did.." Winry said with a little grin.

"People are always talking bullshit, Win. You shouldn't let-" Riza started but Winry interruped her.

"I know, I know. Don't worry. I'm fine. There's nothing I can do about them anyways, so.." Winry stopped talking when she saw Ed coming from around the cornor. He was wearing black boots, some black, knee-ripped jeans, a plain white shirt and an unbuttoned dark red flannel shirt on top of it. When he saw Winry and the others he came up to them.

"What's up, man?" Roy said to him.

"Not much." Ed said casually.

"Well, I've heard you've already gotten into a fight with Envy." Havoc said laughing. Ed couldn't hide his smirk there.

"Nope, there was no fight." he said. "I've just.. warned him." The others began to laugh at that and Roy claped Ed on the shoulder.

"Good. Next time you'll kick his ass." he said. The others chuckled again, Winry smiled a little. She stopped when Ed looked at her.

"Winry." he suddenly said sounding concerned. "We um-.. need to talk.." he said. Her heart stopped. She could feel like she was getting nervous. Then she nodded softly. All of their friends were just staring at the two and had turned into complete silence.

The look on Edward face suddenly turned really annoyed.

"alone." he added. The others immediatly got emberrassed and started to blush.

"Alright we'll just go.. um-" Al stuttered.

"to our next class!" Mei said, laughing nervously and pushed Al away from Ed and Winry.

"Right!" Al said and all of them went away. Something was telling Winry that they were all just waiting around the cornor, trying to hear what Ed wanted to talk to Winry about.

Ed then made a step toward Winry and looked around to see if someone was around. She could see his cheeks turn a light pink color and he started to scratch his head nervously. He didn't know how he should start. Then he looked at her.

"So, um-.." he started.

"I guess you've noticed.. People are talking about..you and me.." he said slowly.

"You know, if it bothers you.. I can.. I mean, I can stay away from you, I don't want you to get in trouble or somethin-"

"Don't worry about it, Ed." she said. Then she smiled at him. Again, it was this comforting smile she always did so he would stop worrying. Edward was kind of caught of guard and just looked at her.

"I don't care about what people are saying about me." said. "I have you and the others, I don't care about the rest." she said, laughing a little. She found it cute how Ed was worrying about her.

"Are.. Are you sure..?" he asked. He sounded like he had expected Winry to start distancing herself from him. Afterall, half of the school was talking about her now, just because she had spent some time with him.

She smiled again.

"Yes, Ed. Also, you promised we would do something together, remember?" she said. He finally smiled now.

"Yeah.. I didn't know you'd still wanna do that.." he said, again soundly a little worried.

"Of course I want to." she said.

"Alright." he smiled. "What you wanna do?"

"Hm, I don't know.." she said and thought for a second.

"What about.. just watching some netflix at my house and ordering some pizza?" she suggested grinning.

Wait, she thought. Is this going to be a date? Somehow she really hoped it was. She started to like him and she knew it. But how could she be sure it was a date? Just ask? No, bad idea. Too embarressing.. What if he wasn't interested in her in that way? Well, but she had to somehow make a move if she wanted clarification.. Just do something, Winry. Don't be such a wuss!, she thought to herself.

"Sounds perfect to me." he said smiling.

"And when?" he asked. Do something.

"Friday? 6 pm?" she said. He grinned. Ask him already.

"Alright, then." he said. He flashed his gorgeous smile at her one last time. Then he turned around. God damn it Winry.

"Edward." she said quickly. He stopped, being already a couple of steps away from her, and turned around. He looked at her.

"So we're.. uh.. having a date?" she asked. God, she sounded so nervous and couldn't hide the blush on her face. Ed instanly thought how adorable she looked and started to grin.

"We're having a date." he assured her, still sporting a smile that was to die for. She stared at him, then he turned around again and was gone. Winry just stood there a little longer feeling completely exhausted. She sighed and started to smile. Maybe this day wasn't as bad as she had thought.
