SOPHIE'S POV

It was the sweetest kiss I'd ever had. His lips were so soft and delicate. I felt like I could kiss Fitz all day.

" Hey, break it up, lovebirds!" Marella yelled, and we released, both of us blushing. 

" Sorry," we mumbled at the same time.

It was after dinner. I had secretly brought my ipod, and was walking in the Everglen garden's, earbuds blaring. I had just sat down on a rock, jamming out to a great song, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

" Sophie?" Said a crisp, accented voice. 

" Oh, sorry Fitz," I said, taking out my earbuds.

He sat down on the rock, and took my hands. " That kiss.........I felt like it meant more than just a 'spin the bottle' kiss. Like.....the beginning of something. Sophie Foster, I admit, I have a crush on you." 

I leaned forward in disbelief, wondering if I'd heard him right, and then replied, " I have a crush on you too, Fitz."

He smiled a sweet smile and hugged me, whispering, " Will you be my girlfriend?"

I gasped. " Of course Fitz!"

We released and he grinned. " I wonder how the other "couples" are doing."

"Couples?" I asked.

" Biana and Tam, Dex and Linh, and Keefe and Marella. Maybe."

I was happy that others were finding there true love, too. 

I looked Fitz in the eye, thinking that I had the BEST boyfriend EVER, and reached for his face, pulling it closer to mine, until our noses were touching.

" I love you Fitz," I whispered, and pressed my lips to his, not letting him reply. 

We were going strong when all of the sudden, he lifted up my shirt and stuck his hand under it. I opened my mouth a little and let his tounge slip through. 

" Sophie! Fitz!" Called a voice somewhere in the garden. " We know you're both here somewhere, probably making out!"

I shook my head, smiling. " Leave it to Keefe to say something like that," I said to Fitz, kissed him on the lips, and ran towards Keefe's voice. 

I found him half smiling, half smirking. " Are you two together yet?" He asked. 

" As a matter of fact, yes, " I said.

"Whoop whoops!" Biana called, clinging to Tam' hand. 

" What about you and Tam?" I called.

She grinned. " We are official, and so are Dex and Linh."

" Congrats,"  i said, clapping my hands. 

" What's hand clapping worthy?" Fitz asked, coming up behind me and tugging lightly on my hair.

I grinned at him and said, " Biana and Tam are official, and so are Dex and Linh."

Fitz looked around the garden. " Where ARE Dex and Linh?"

Tam shrugged. " Making out, I would think."

" Tam!" A soft voice protested revealing Dex and Linh walking out of another path. Linh swatted his bangs playfully, and then looked in surprise at Fitz's head resting on my shoulder.

" Wow! Good job, Sophie, Fitz."

We were all silent for a while, and then Biana suggested, " Why don't ya'll stay over tonight? I'm sure Mom and Dad would be fine with it," She looked to Fitz for backup.

He shrugged and looked at me with a smile on his face. " As long as my girlfriend's here, I'm game for anything."

I blushed. Yes, I had the best boyfriend.
