That monday morning, Jonathan couldn't wait to get to school. He would see Nancy again, he was sure of it. He hadn't been himself since his date with Nancy. Who could blame him? The evening had been perfect.

Jonathan couldn't concentrate during English class. When his teacher talked to him about him skipping school and giving him detention the next day, he almost didn't care. Nothing was as important as seeing the girl he loved.

At lunch, the first thing Nancy did was look for Jonathan. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about him since their wonderful date Saturday night. She couldn't conceal her excitement when she saw him, sitting at his table.

"Hey! Can I sit here?" She asked.

"Hey! Of course. I've been waiting for you" Jonathan replied.

"What have you been up to?" Nancy said.

"I've just been helping Will with some homework and helping my mom with some things around the house. And you?"

"Oh, nothing. The usual"

"Which is?"

"Homework"

Jonathan laughed.

After school, the agreed to walk home together. It was brave, but they walked hand in hand together across the school yard. Nancy didn't even care if anyone saw her. She was with the boy she loved. Cause she was sure of it now, she loved Jonathan.

They were talking and laughing together, when they heard a voice calling.

"Hey slut, creep. Why the hurry?"

Tommy. Carol. Steve. Oh no, Nancy thought. Not again, not now, not after all this. She just wanted to be left alone with Jonathan. She didn't want to have anything to do with those guys anymore, she was so over them, so over being the popular girl. None of that matterd, not when she could be with Jonathan.
