How could i be here? -Open-

[Pete Starintino]

Pete had one thought going through his head as he walked to the Library. 'Why am i going here? How can i be here?'. It was like his body forced him to glide his feet across the floor. Why was he so determined not to be here? Simple. Pete hated to study, it was one of the things he always tried to do but never got around to doing because it was quite boring. And if Pete was one thing, it is not boring.

Pete threw himself into a chair, and just sat there for a moment spacing out. Until he heard his name...

Lindsay strolled into the Library, trying to get out of a fine for late books when she looked around. She saw a boy sitting at the table close by. "Pete? Is that you?" she asked, hopefully. She finally returned the books without fine and moved closer, noticing it actually was Pete. "Hey Pete." she said sitting next to him. "What's up?" Lindsay was still a bit depressed from her latest heartbreak and her words seemed very upset. I mean, it was only a day ago. Maybe Pete could cheer her up a bit.

[Pete Starintino]

Pete looked up and smiled slightly. One of his best friends actually saved him from his misoury. "Nothing... obviously. Whats the matter?" He asked noticing a slight change in her voice. He was good at that. He always knew when something was wrong. "So if i sound a bit oblivious..." He added with a small grin.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay sighed. She really didn't want to break down crying, but if she had to break down in front of anyone, she'd pick Pete. "Yeah, well...." she started. She took a deep breath and said, "My boyfriend cheated on me." She dind't cry or anything. It felt good to get it out. She was over him. But still a little upset about how it was her best friend. Not that Angel knew anyway. She grinned a bit, "But I'm fine and ready to move on with my life." she said. Afterall, she did have a crush on Pete. She blushed a bit, knowing he knew why. Word had already got around she liked him and she heard that he knew.

[Pete Starintino]

Petes neck started to turn red, knowing they both liked each other... well liked was a bit of a small word to compare what he felt with her. "Well, you don't need him. And moving on is a good thing." He smiled slightly. Pete was not shy, he spoke his mind about everything. But around Lindsay he was. But thats what he liked about her. He was truly Pete. "Boys suck any way." Pete said imitating a girl voice as best as he could.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay laughed at his attempt at a girl's voice. She could feel her face burning up. Why was this happening so often lately. She gave him a smile and looked at his neck burning up. Did he like her too. Well she wasn't one to just ask a guy if they liked her. But then again, if he asked her out. Or said something about it. She started to day dream about how great that would be before snapping herself back to reality. She continued to smile as she fumbled with the bracelets around her wrist. Something she always did when she was feeling a bit nervous.

[Pete Starintino]

"Oh someone is nervous." Pete laughed slightly noticing her tick. It was like him and his wrist bands. He pondered whether to ask the question that had been floating in his head or to wait. It wasn't that he was nervous what she would say, he trusted her with everything. Even the secret about how his dad treated him, and she never stared at him weird, or pointed. Like half the student body did. And she checked up on it a lot.

But he liked her, a lot. And he just wanted to get it out. "Well... sense you are now a free woman, do you want to hang out latter?" He asked knowing she knew it was more of a date then hanging out... He just smiled.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

No way. Her little day dream was coming true? No Lindsay, that's your imagination again. No wait. He really DID ask her out on a date. She tryed not to sound too desperate or anything, but it had to be obvious that her heart was popping out of her chest with excitement. "Sure." she said cooly. "Where do you want to go?" Wow, definitly a good way to get over whatever his name was. She just smiled and stared into Pete's eyes. She really liked him. A lot. More than anybody she'd ever liked before, thats for sure. And she promised not to do the same thing that whatever his name is did to her.

[Pete Starintino]

Pete smiled, he was excited, but if she was acting normally, so would he. "Any where interesting, And besides, i asked you so you get to choose." He smiled again. The feeling of dread of going home that night subsided. It made his day to know that she said yes and didn't turn him down like every girl he has liked in the passed.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

"Hmmm, wunna go to the movies?" she suggested, still extremely excited. Her smile reached from ear to ear. She was very happy about going on a date and moving on. She waited to see if thats where he'd like to go. And then they could go back to her apartment. That would be just wonderful.

[Pete Starintino]

"Yeah, thats sounds like a Linds-Pete thing to do." Pete said, a smile on his face. He felt happy, which was a good thing. "I can't go home late though..." He said noding his head about the whole father who blows a fuse thing. Then he smiled agian. "But, a risk it worth taking for you." Pete sounded so lovey-dovey, it actualy threw himself of for a moment, then he smiled agian, and laughed at himself.

((I feel so unloved...and how do you know what order he fell in love with you & Angel? I don't even know that...))

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

(Poor Seoras)
"Awww, you could always crash at my place you know." she said smiling. Did that sound too slutty? Lindsay wondered about it for a time before deciding it probably wasn't. It was just being friendly. She knew his dad and how he reacted to him being late. At least he wouldn't have to go home to that. His dad probably wouldn't even notice he was gone unless he came home late. She smiled an akward smile. One that said 'If its okay with you'.

[Pete Starintino]

Pete smiled shyly agian, then nodded. "Yeah, good idea." He kept smiling. "Well. I am going to go now my dear..." He said with a sarcastic face one. He didint want to go, but he had to if he wanted to go out that night. Then he did something... well half of something he wanted to do for a while. He kissed her on the cheek before he left. Not on the lips, he didint want to seem desprate. As he left he kept smiling to himself... it was a good day after all...





((do you want me to make the date thread?))

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay was definitly not expecting it, but when it happened, her face lit up and her smile grew as wide as possible. "See you later." she mumbled, still in a bit of shock. She wanted that to happen for a long time. A very long time. She got up and waited for him to go before she left for her apartment herself.
