Adventures of Mileven

El

He kissed me. He was never mad. He kissed me for a couple seconds, much like our first kiss. I saw his blush upon his face.

"No matter how hard I try," he started. "I can't stay mad at you."

I smiled at him. We reached the school and we jumped out of the car and Mike grabbed my hand.

"Bye Lovebirds!" Nancy mocked, driving away.

"Love?" I questioned, looking over at Mike.

"You'll find out soon."

We resumed walking back into the school, starting the day of learning.

Mike

She'll find out soon enough what love it.

During social studies class, I took out a piece of paper and started writing a couple sentences on it. I tried to hide it from El, who was sitting directly beside me. I wrote a note on a lined piece of paper while hiding the paper beneath my binder.

"Oooh, what's that?" Dustin snooped behind me as El's attention was drawn to me. I swiftly stuffed the finished note away.

"Nothing." I lied.

El smiled a little at me until returning back to her reading.

Hiding this from her through the day was not easy. I loved having her by my side every moment of the day, but it interfered with this task. I can't have her finding out until after school.

Before going to lunch, I told the guys and El that I'll be right back and going to the bathroom. They nodded and headed off to our usual lunch table outside and I hurried over to the main hallway where my locker is. I stuck the note I was writing earlier to my locker door and returned back to the guys. I sat down, smiling while I ate my lunch. I felt the guys staring at me, confused.

"What are you smiling about?" El badgered.

"You'll find out soon." I told her. "Can you do me a favor?"

El nodded, "Ya, of course."

"Can you go to my locker and get my sweater? I'm a little cold." I looked through my binder and handed her a piece of paper with my combination on it. "Here's my combination."

"Okay."

"Thanks El." I kissed her cheek before she left.

El

Mike is acting weirder than usual. Is he still mad at me for what I did this morning? No, that can't be it.

I moved the lock to match Mike's combination. I opened it, but I saw no sweater inside the locker. The only thing I saw was a note attached to the door with my name on it. It read:

Love is never being able to stay mad at each other. Love is kissing each other at the right moments. Love is doing something nice for the person you like because you wanna make sure they are comfortable. Love is when you cry and have heartaches when the person isn't around you. And love is when you make sure you never let the person go once you get them back.

I held the note in my hand. Why would be tell me this? To answer my question? But Mike isn't like that. He would have just answered the question right away. He's up to something.

I walked back to the guys and sat down next to them.

"What is this?" I smiled and asked Mike.

"You'll find out soon." he repeated. What does he mean by that?

Mike checked his watch and grabbed his backpack. He got up and walked away from us, seconds before the bell rang.

"What's up with him?" Will inquired.

"I know." Lucas said, smiling and nodding. Our eyes flew onto him.

"What?" I asked.

"You'll find out soon," he mimicked.
