It had been a few weeks since Clem had gone back to school, her days had been full of mostly studying and doing extra credit. Her grades were surprisingly enough, going at a C average. Louis would often help her, they'd stay up almost all night doing work. Though they did have small moments, where they'd fall asleep in each other's arms.

Now the group of teens sat at a table, eating whatever the lunch served them. Louis of course, was eating pineapple pizza. Clementine couldn't help but scrunch her nose in disgust as she watched him eat.

"Do I have something on my face?"

"You're so gross." She teased, continuing to pick at her at her plate of pasta. Louis let out a huff, pulling the girl closer to him on the small bench. He slowly grabbed the slice of pizza, holding it close to her face as she squirmed.

"If you try it, I'll give you twenty dollars." He bargained, a sly grin on his face as Clementine rolled her eyes.

"No."

"All you have to do is take a bite, you don't even have to like it!"

Clementine shook her head in disgust. "I don't know that you have the money." She replied proudly. To her dismay, Louis reached into his pocket, pulling out a twenty dollar bill. "You're such a dickhead."

"Do you want the money or not?" He asked, waving the sheet around mockingly. She rolled her eyes, picking up the half eaten slice of pizza and staring at it menacingly.

Clementine carefully took a bite of the pineapple covered food, wincing slightly as she continued to chew it. Louis let out a chuckle, finding entertainment in the facial expressions his girlfriend made. She pulled away the slice of food, brows furrowed as she huffed.

Clementine looked up at him, rolling her eyes as she sighed. "It's not that bad."

"Holy shit it feels good to be right!" Louis boasted, this had been going on for quite a while. Clementine laid on his chest, rolling her eyes for what felt like the hundredth time today.

"I have different taste buds now that I'm seventeen!" She argued, Louis let out a throaty chuckle as she continued. "The last time I had it was when I was eight."

"And you trusted your own eight year old opinion?" He asked skeptically, watching as she slowly shook her head.

"I know what I do and do not like, thank you very much."

He slowly stood up, making Clementines head fall slowly onto one of his many pillows. The tall boy walked towards one of his messy drawers, digging through, almost searching for something.

Clementine cautiously sat up, brows furrowed with curiosity as she cleared her throat. "You okay?" She asked, Louis only ignored her as he continued to shuffle through the messy drawer. "Lou?"

Clem stood up slowly, cautiously walking towards him as he turned around. He was smiling, face showing all signs of joy.

"Look what I've got!"

He quickly pulled his hands away from his back, revealing a medium sized booklet. On the cover was a photo of the two teens, smiling widely. Clementine was in Louis' arms, next to him at the park where they had first kissed. She let out a small laugh, taking it from his hands and flipping through. It was full of pictures of them.

"I had made this a while ago, I forgot to give it to you. But I found it and decided to add more pictures!" He said proudly, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his gym shorts. Clementine stared in awe at each page, memories began to flood back as she smiled widely. "It's been eight or seven months, all together at least." He whispered, gazing at her lovingly.
