25.

As the week continued to progress, things seemed to be fine. Every other day, Kate would come and eat with me and Angelina, which was fine in my opinion. Kate wasn't that bad to be around, I actually learned more about Angelina by being with Kate. For example, I had no idea Angelina knew how to play cello AND piano, or that she was a BIG Tim Burton fan.

The more I knew about Angelina, the more I fell for her. Her beauty, her kindness, her funny and cute quirks, and all her flaws, they attract me to her. But as I slowly learn more about Angelina, I felt a pit grow in my chest; Angelina barely knew me. I mean, she knows little things about me, but she doesn't know a whole lot, and I'm worried that Angelina doesn't fully trust me because of it.

Off topic from that, Angelina's sleeping problem has slowly gotten better. She's been calling me when she can't sleep - which has been almost every night this week - and we would talk until she finally passes out. Though I don't mind helping her, this causes me to be sleepy in school. Thank GOD it's Friday.

" Lucifer? Are you ok?" Angelina suddenly asks, looking away from her lap top - where she was working on our project's slide show - and at me with a worried expression.

I lift my head off my hand," Hmm? What do you mean?" I question, my face expressionless as usual.

" Well, you seem...out of it today." Angelina replies," Is something the matter?"

I shake my head," No no, I'm just lost in thought today," I say before I let out a tired yawn,"...and a little sleepy too..."

" I knew this would happen." Angelina states as she lets out a sad sigh," This is why I think I need to stop calling you at night."

" Angel I'm fine, really." I state, turning my body more to face her," I just need a quick nap and I'll be good as new."

Angelina gives me another worried look," Besides Angel, if you're getting sleep at night, I'll be happy." I say with a comforting smile, which in turn causes Angelina to blush.

" S-Still...you need to care for your well-being too..." Angelina protests as she tries to hide her blushing face from me.

I give a small chuckle," Just continue working, we'll talk more at lunch, alright?" Angelina nods and faces her computer again.

I smile and lay my head back on my arm, gazing lovingly at Angelina as she worked; Angelina wore the same shirt from Monday - The ' Music was my First Love' shirt - but with a blue flannel tired around her waist. Her hair was also done today, tied up in a ponytail with only the front part of her wavy hair out, enabling me to play with her hair still.

I lifted my free hand and began to play with her hair, a smirk on my face. Angelina sighed," You really like playing with my hair, don't you?" She says, not bothering to look away from her work.

" Well you must like it if you purposely keep the front part of your hair done." I comment in a teasing voice.

Pink dusted Angelina's cheeks," S-Shut up..."

" Aww...don't be like that~" I say as I sit up, leaning over and placing a kiss on her cheek," You know you like it~"

" Angelina! Lucifer! Please work on your project." Mrs. Brooks scolded from the front of the class.

" S-Sorry Mrs. Brooks." Angelina stuttered an apology before facing me with an angered - yet really cute - expression," You got us in trouble again..!"

" What?~ It's no big deal." I say in a very chill voice," Relax and continue working, ok?"

A tiny 'hmpf' escaped Angelina's lips before continuing her work on the slide shows. And as for me - you probably guessed it - I continued to play with her hair. You might question why I'm not doing anything, it's because Angelina doesn't want me to 'mess up' the slide shows or anything.

" So Angelina? Have you gone on a date with Lucifer yet?" Kate suddenly asks, causing me to spit the water I had in my mouth; It was lunch time, and as usual, Kate decided to eat with me and Angelina.

" W-Why do you ask that..?!" Angelina asks quite nervously, patting my back as I cough.

Kate shrugs," Don't know. Just curious." She replies casually," So have you?"

" U-Ummm yeah...w-we have...." Angelina says, blush covering her face.

" Why didn't you tell me?!" Kate scolds, lunging at Angelina, grabbing her shoulders," That was you FIRST DATE! I could have helped you..!"

Angelina giggled, her face flaring up in embarrassment," I-I know...but I wanted to do it myself, sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

" Well now you got to tell me EVERYTHING!!!! Every. Last. DETAIL!" Kate stated, shaking Angelina like a rag doll.

Part of me feels like I should intervene, but this seemed a little too interesting to not watch," W-Well...I rode on a motorcycle, and-"

" What?! Those are dangerous!" God, Kate sounds like a mom.

" Sorry, it was the only thing I had." I comment, finishing off the rest of my sandwich Angelina had made me.

" You couldn't call a Taxi or something?!"

" Kate." Angelina says as she places her hands on Kate's shoulders," It was fine. I was fine. It was actually a lot of fun!"

Kate smiled at Angelina," Well if you had fun..." Angelina hugged Kate.

" Of course it was fun!!!" Angelina squealed, hugging her friend tightly," Then we went to dinner, had fun there, and got ice cream!"

" Well that sounds like fun..." Kate says smiling, pulling Angelina away from her," Now I gotta go, see ya'll later." She got up and waved at us as she left.

Once she was out of sight, Angelina let out a pleasant sigh and leaned her head on my shoulder," I love you Lucifer..." I heard her say, causing me to smile.

" Love you too Angel~" I plant a kiss on her cheek," So I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow? I know it might rain but we could head to the park, or go out to lunch and stuff."

" T-Tomorrow?" She asks, now nervous," W-Well, tomorrow is...it's..."

" Angel?" I ask, moving to see Angelina's nervous expression," Are you ok? You don't have to do it."

She shook her head," I-It's fine. We can meet up at the park tomorrow around, noon?" She asks as I nod," Alright. So it's a date!" She tried to put a smile on her face, but her eyes told me she was holding something from me, something sad...

" Lets get packed up so we're not late to class." Angelina sudden says as she begins to pack up, not allowing me to question her weird behavior.

Something about tomorrow seemed to put Angelina on edge...but what was it?
