Hey everybody!! Change in plans. Parents came in last night so I'm leaving earlier than i thot. I have gotten no sleep bc I've been working on these last three chappies. I really hope you like them.

Thank you Roel and Brit. You have helped me so much with this story!!! gracias!!!

So here goes nothing...

Monday

The weekend was so much fun. I wish it had never stopped. We went out again on Saturday and spent the day doing crazy stuff. Most of the time we were just talking. It was so much fun. And now... it's back to school. DEATH TO SCHOOL!!! We even had extended marching practice. I hate the directors!!! But anyways, again we were stuck reading that stupid salt book. In order to avoid falling asleep, I pulled out my favorite book again, and once again got lost...

Then of course the bell rang. I went to lunch and was reading my book. Grantly and I talked about the book and how I'm waiting for my knight. It was nice because for the first time in my life, someone didn't laugh at me when I told them about what I've wanted to happen. Then Morgan just had to bring up the fact that I'm failing algebra .

"Thank you. I'm trying to forget about it." I was so mad when he brought it up. It just annoys me that I can never get the stuff and that I am always the stupidest person in my math classes. But then again, it's nice to have the special attention from Grantly. He is always trying to help me with my work.

"You're always welcome!"

"Bite me." He can be so annoying yet so sweet and never at the same time.

And the bell went off once again. It was nice to have someone walk with me to my next class. I used to walk alone but now that I found out that Grantly's class was right next to mine, he wanted to walk with me and I wasn't going to stop him.

I didn't get to talk to him at marching practice. During our water breaks he was on his cell phone and Morgan wouldn't let me get near him. He left right after practice was over. That was really weird of him.

Tuesday

World History is so pointless...especially when a coach teaches it. Coach was once again rambling on about salt. I would have pulled out my book, but then I would have had d-hall. That would have really sucked. So instead of reading, I was wondering why Grantly was being so distant.

He hadn't talked to me since yesterday at lunch. This morning in the band hall, he was once again on his cell phone. I was getting really curious so I asked Morgan what was going on and he was being really secretive about it. Maybe he was planning a big surprise birthday for me since it's right around the corner. I hope so!!!

As always the bell rang for lunch and I dashed out of there. FREEDOM!!! Once I got to the table, I sat and waited for everyone to get there. Once every one got to the table and Grantly didn't show up, I started to question Morgan once more.

"Where is he??!! He's been really distant for the past two days and I want to know why NOW!!!" I was really pissed. I thought he was going to break up with me even though we've only been dating for four days. It's not fair!!!

"Well right now he's in...lunch detention."

"What did he do?"

"Talking on his cell. That and he got it taken up."

"Oh. Thanks for telling me something. He's not going to break up with me is he?" I had to know.

"What are you talking about. He would never break up with you." Well he better not. I just had to make sure.

I was munching on a hot pocket when the end of lunch bell rang. "Hey Alex. Don't wait for Grantly. He has to be escorted to his next class by a teacher because of his punishment."

"Thanks for letting me know Morgan. See you later!" I waved good bye to him and set off towards algebra , the worstest subject ever! And with out Grantly to give me a good luck hug before class. I guess I can get through class with out one just this once.

We were sitting in class when Morgan came in to get me. "Ms. Jackson, I need to borrow Alex Kerlan for a few minutes."

"Alex, go with this young man." I was very glad to get out of her class. Not only are her clothes horrible, but her hair is even worse! She needs to be on that show "What Not To Wear."

Once I closed the door to the classroom, I asked Morgan what was going on.

"Grantly wants to see you." Well if he wanted to see me why didn't he avoid the teachers whenever he was talking on his cell phone. Then he could have talked to me at lunch. But noooooooo. He has to get caught. The lazy bum. When we got to the front of the school I turned to go into the office. "Don't go there. He's outside. They wouldn't let him in and he was allowed one phone call. So he called me to get you." I walked outside to see what he was talking about.

And there was Grantly, at least I think it was, sitting on top of a horse, wearing shiny armor and holding a single rose.

"Hey there babe. Hop on. I've got somewhere to take you." Ok so it was Grantly. I got on and he took off towards the football field. When we got to the field, there were rose petals all over the field.

"Grantly what are you doing? And what are we doing here?"

"Well you wanted your knight in shining armor to come and whisk you away to a place far, far, away from math. And, well I was going to run into the school on the horse and grab you out of algebra, but they said that no animals were allowed inside the school. So I had Morgan go up to your room and get you. And this place is pretty far away from algebra." He looked like a little puppy, a sweet devoted puppy.

"Grantly, this is great. Is this what you were on the phone for the past two days for?"

"Well yeah. It was totally worth it to see your face. You were so surprised! And I wanted to use this moment to tell you that I absolutely adore you. I always have and I always will."

Well this was something new. I can definitely say that I was shocked. I was turning all of this over in my mind when I remembered that he was still right in front of me, expecting me to say something back.

"Grantly, I haven't really though of us as being more than just friends. That is until you asked me out. Friday night, I realized that what I felt for you was more than friendship and I want it to be that way. Forever." Wow. I can't believe I actually said my true feelings to someone. I looked up into Grantly's beautiful blue eyes and I saw that spark return. I hadn't seen it since Jake died. I was glad to see that he was making as much progress as I was.

I looked up into his face once again. He slowly started to lean down towards my lips. I could feel his hot breath on my face. Then I felt his lips touch mine. And then we broke free. All I could think was wow. That was incredible. It was pleasurable, and sweet and ... perfect.

I used it brit!! Thanks again for that!!! and roel. Thanks for staying up till four in the morning to help me with this. u guys are great.
