Theo was working the night shift at the veterinarians when he heard frantic knocking on the door. He slowly walked towards it confused as they were supposed to be closed and he was sure he'd swapped the sign to 'closed.'

It was the new guy in his English class, Liam. He pulled open the door and greeted him.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I-I didn't see it. I took my eyes off the road for, like, two seconds to change the song on my iPod, and then this dog, it just came out of nowhere!" Liam wildly explained, throwing his hands about.

"It's all right, it's all right. Do you remember where it happened so I can send Animal Control to find it?" Theo queried

"No! I mean, yes, I know where I hit it, but the dog is..."

"Where is it?"

"It's in my car" Liam told him whilst leading him outside.

Theo opened up the boot to find a white husky(?) lying on its side. The dog growled making Liam jump, obviously still shaky from what he'd accidentally done to the dog in front of him.

"You okay? She's just frightened."

"That makes two of us" Liam remarks.

The growls start to get louder so Theo flashes his eyes at it and shuts it up before Liam notices.

"Let me see if I have any better luck. I think her leg is broken. I've seen the doctor do plenty of splints. I can do it myself and then give her a painkiller for now." Theo explains as he carries the dog back inside Liam trailing behind him.

He sees Liam looking down at his wet clothes and says, " I have a shirt in my bag."

"Oh I don't want to trouble you" Liam tries to decline but Theo has already thrown him the shirt "here." Liam goes into the other room to get changed.

Theo glances up, sees Liam taking off his shirt and then notices the dog staring at him. " what? I didn't see anything."

He comes back into the main room, " thanks for doing this. I feel really stupid"

"How come?"

" I don't know. Cause I freaked out like a girl"

"No you didn't, not really"

"No I freaked out like a total girly girl and I'm not a girl" Liam frowned

"Obviously you're not but hey, I'd be freaked out too. In fact, I'd probably cry. And not like a man, either. Like the biggest girly girly ever. It'd be pathetic." Theo tried to make Liam feel better about himself.

Liam let you a laugh, "yeah right."

They both grinned at each other until Theo broke the silence, " So - It looks like she's gonna live. And I'm pretty sure she'll even let you pet her now, if you want."

Liam glanced at the dog unsure, " I don't think so." Theo just raised his eyebrow, "fine I'll pet her."

Liam reached his hand out toward to dog and ran his hand up and down her fur, he flinches when he feels Theo's thumb swiping over his cheek, "W-what're you doing?"

"Uh. Sorry, you had an eyelash" Theo awkwardly replies

"Oh. It's from the crying, thanks." They stood in silence for a while until Liam spoke up, "I should probably go now."

Theo walks Liam outside to his car.

"Yeah. So, um - I was wondering - I mean - do you think maybe you'd like to go to that party with me?" Theo clumsily asks.

"Um, yes yes. That'd be nice." Liam shyly grins as Theo.
