I think we all know Sophie's answer ;)

"O-of course! I- really like you.."
Keefe's emotions soared.
He smiled goofily, but quickly smothered it.
"I saw that Keefe," Sophie teased.
"I've just waited so long for this..." Keefe admitted. Sophie smiled. Keefe suddenly realised something. "What about Fitz?" Sophie's smile fell. "What do you mean?" She asked.
Keefe shifted uncomfortably, "uh. Well, he kinda likes you, you know?"
Sophie stared at Keefe.
Keefe stared back.
"...And?" Sophie finally spoke. Keefe gaped at her. "W-what do you mean and?!"
Sophie looked at him, unamused. "It doesn't bother me, he can get over it." She paused.
"It doesn't bother you, does it?"
Keefe looked away, mumbling. Sophie smiled slowly. "Don't worry, I already knew this. It's kinda obvious."
Keefe looked at Sophie and scowled. "Why didn't you just say that?"
There was a moment of silence. "...I dunno."
Keefe opened his mouth to say something.
"So you two done flirting?" Keefe's face went red. Sophie's cheeks matched his.
"W-we're not flirting-" Sophie started but then realised they were. "Oh, never mind."
Elwin smiled a goofy smile at them. "Well, if you two are really done, it might be time to go."
"We're done, Elwin."
"Are you sure, Sophie? I might just have to leave you two alone..."
"Elwin." Sophie sighed as Elwin rolled his eyes.
"...You guys know each other?" Keefe asked.
Sophie went redder. "Uh..."
Elwin laughed. "No need to be embarrassed, Sophie! I'm awesome! Yes, Keefe we know each other."
Elwin glanced at Sophie. Sophie shook her head slightly, probably hoping Keefe didn't see it. But Keefe did.
He narrowed his eyes. What was Sophie keeping from him...?
"I'm ready to go now." Keefe said loudly as if to block out his thought.

"Are you sure?"
Keefe frowned at Sophie. "I'll be fine." He rolled his eyes. "Stop being overprotective! I'm just going home... I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Why are you mad?" Sophie scrunched her eyebrows together as she gazed up at him.
Keefe dragged his hand through his hair.
"I'm not mad. I'm sorry. It's just... Fitz..."
Sophie's eyes went wide. "Wow, you really care, don't you?"
"I don't like that sarcasm."
"Yeah, well, get used to it."
Keefe sighed. "I think we're both tired. It's no use fighting right here."
Sophie bit her lip. "Yeah, okay. You're right..."
Keefe smiled affectionately. With his arms (one of which was in a cast) he pulled her closer and placed his lips on hers. Sophie melted into him, putting her arms around his neck. When they finally pulled apart, Sophie put her head on his shoulder. Lucy barked at them as if to say: hurry up!
"I don't wanna go yet..." Sophie murmured into Keefe's shoulder.
Keefe pulled her off him. "Well, we'll see each other tomorrow."
Sophie sighed and trudged slowly to her house, with Lucy bounding after her. "Bye..." she called. Lucy barked at Keefe.
"Cya."
Keefe watched her go in, then started walking to his house. Sophie had wanted to go to his house first, but Sophie's was closer.
"Hey Keefe!" Someone cried.
Bro, it was like 2 am. How was this person awake??
Keefe looked over and saw that it was Fitz and Dex.
"Guys! It's 2 am!! Go to bed!!!" Keefe shouted.
"We could say the same!!" Fitz shouted, then paused.
"What happened??" Dex asked, walking around Keefe, taking in the casts.
"Oh, you know. The earthquake?" Keefe replied.
"Ohh yeah. Wow, how did you break them?"
Keefe felt his face heat up as he answered.
"I was -uh- saving foster from a falling wall."
Fitz blinked and Dex winked at Keefe.
"So... I kinda jumped in front of her and got hit instead..."
"And she's not hurt?" Fitz asked quickly.
Keefe raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, she's okay."
Fitz smiled to himself. "Okay, good."
Dex glanced at Fitz. "Fitz?"
Fitz blinked twice. "Oh yeah. Keefe, I'm having an end of school party! You're invited."
"Oh cool. I'll come. Text me when it is." Keefe yawned, "I need to go to bed..."
"Yeah. 'Night Keefe."
"Goodnight."
Keefe hobbled off to his house. It's been a while since I wrote in my diary... Keefe thought as he walked into his room.

Diary entry #7
:) been a while, Keefe.

It's me again.
It is currently 3:12 am.
I have a lot to say.
So, as I wrote before, foster asked me to come to her house. So I did- and guess what???
She has a puppy!!! It's a girl. And her name is Lucy. Lucy actually loves me.
There was an EARTHQUAKE!!!!
Foster was actually frozen in fear. A wall was falling on her!!!
Luckily I was able to move, so I jumped in front of her. The wall fell on us and we got trapped under it.
I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was in so much pain but I didn't know why.
Then, I had an AMAZING idea!!!!
Use my phone to call for help!! (Foster is kinda slow)
That's when I found out why I was in pain.
My arm and leg was broken.
Then something happened- I forgot.
All I remember that I accidentally kissed her...
I KISSED HER!!!
I apologised.
Then she started stammering and we kissed.
She wanted to. WANTED TO!!!!
Just like me...
It was so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so good.
Will she ever know JUST how good it was???!!!!
Then I went to hospital, and got knocked out.
When I was awake again- she AGREED TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!

I CANNOT tell Fitz.
Oh yeah- I also got invited to a party.
I hope foster goes...
