we!
A/N: Just wanted to thank you guys for reviewing. This is a story I wrote because I was . . . bored. It's not proof read and the plot was not thought out clearly. Anyway, please carry on and read!
Val entered the EMS station. She was early once again. 'No wonder Caitie calls me an overachiever' she thought to herself. She went into the back to slip on her jumper. After she changed into her uniform, she took a seat at the table.
'Spanish homework awaits.' Val took out her Spanish textbook. She quickly flipped to page 115. She let out an exasperated sigh when she realized she had 5 exercises to complete. Val was a very good student but she had to admit Spanish took up more of her energy than her other classes. Caitie on the other hand had a natural talent for languages. Her potential was often overlooked in the past. When Caitie went to Spain with her mother for an art gala last summer, she had showed a new fondness for the language.
"Hola mi amiga" Caitie greeted as she entered the station.
"Thank gosh you're here. Did you see how hard our assignment is?" exclaimed Val.
"Gee, calm down Val. Any threat of not getting an A isn't the end of the world." Caitie turned her head left and right. "Is, um, Jamie here yet?"
"Nope. I'm here early, just trying to get some homework done." She motioned towards her opened Spanish book.
"All right, I might as well hang around until he gets here."
"We can do our homework together!" Val squealed.
Caitie rolled her eyes but then smiled. Her best friend got excited over the littlest things she thought. "Sure."
Caitie took a seat at the table and opened up her book. Val went into the kitchen and poured Caitie a cup of black coffee.
"Thanks Val. All right, what's the problem?" Caitie asked as she sipped the hot black liquid.
Val twirled her blond hair between her fingers. She thought carefully. "Um. . . Exercise B question 2 is really confusing! What is it asking us to answer exactly?"
Caitie took a look at the question that confused Val. She furrowed her brows momentarily and then her face lit up. "Oh! Okay. It's just asking us to describe our ideal boyfriend/girlfriend."
Val giggled. "And how am I suppose to write about that in Spanish?"
Caitie took out a piece of paper. "Well, we learned the subjunctive today right? That's what we're supposed to use. You can start your sentence like this---- [Yo quiero un novio que sea. . .] and then you add whatever trait you want your boyfriend to have."
"I think I get it . . . thanks Caitie!" Val was beaming. She quickly opened her notebook and started scribbling.
Jamie walked out from the garage and watched the two girls diligently do their homework. He couldn't take his eyes off of Caitie.
"Hey ladies." Jamie greeted as he entered the common room.
"Hi Jamie" Val called out without looking up from her paper.
"Hey!" Caitie exclaimed. "I was actually looking for you! Brianne is having a party this weekend. You up for it?"
"Oh yeah" Jamie replied.
"Val, I actually have to get going. You're cool?" Caitie stood up from the table.
"Uh, yeah. Thanks for helping me!" Val continued to scribble down her Spanish homework.
"I'll give you a ride," Jamie offered.
Alone again. Val sat and stared at her homework further. Perhaps she believed that staring at the words long enough would magically translate them to English, something within her domain of knowledge. Even though Caitie had helped with the assignment, she still couldn't exactly translate what she wanted to say. 'Great. Half a line written in Spanish not even by me, and a paragraph in English. I'm sure Senora Morales will be thrilled. Unacceptable.'
Val was frustrated. She closed her book shut with force and stood up. A sheet of loose-leaf paper flew out from underneath her book and landed on the floor. The paper went unnoticed by Val as she went outside.
Moments later Tyler entered the station. He went into the common room and found a sheet of paper on the floor. He noticed that Val's books were on the table. Tyler figured the paper was of some importance and picked it up. He quickly scanned the paper while a huge smile appeared on his face.

Yo quiero un novio que sea. . . [I want a boyfriend that is]
I want a boyfriend who is tall.
Someone who is always there for me.
Someone who will listen and put up with me no matter how hysterical I am.
I want someone who is like a friend but makes my heart beat faster when I see him.
Tyler's eyes traveled towards the margin of the paper. A heart was drawn with purple ink. Inside the heart were his initials along with Val's.
"All right!!!" he yelled aloud while jumping up and down. It was after all a victory on his part.
He carefully slipped the paper back into Val's binder and started walking towards his locker.
Val suddenly appeared in the doorway. "Hey Tyler! When did you get here?"
"Just now." Tyler smiled at her. 'She's so beautiful' he thought.
"What were you yelling for?" Val asked curiously.
"Yelling? Oh was I yelling? I'm just excited. I think I have a pretty good chance at winning. . ." Tyler responded cryptically.
Val had a look of confusion on her face. "Oh!!! The game this Saturday! Yeah, it's going to be tough but you guys will pull through! You always do!" She smiled warmly at Tyler.
"Thanks. I'm gonna change." Tyler left the common room and went to his locker.
'I think I have a pretty good chance at winning your heart' he thought to himself. He opened his locker. Hanging on the door of his locker was a picture of Val and himself held up by a small magnet. He touched her two dimensional face with his pointer finger. He traced an imaginary heart around her face. "Te quiero."
A/N: Spanish is obviously not my first language! But I tried to write it correctly, best to my ability anyway. Summer. A time to forget what was learned through the school year.
