MEGAN POV

I walked to my locker, school was finally over and I couldn't be happier, well school being over was only part of it, I had another reason for being happy however. I made it to my locker and opened it, as I began to put my stuff away, Jamie spoke up, her locker was next to mine.

"Megan what's going on, you're a lot more cheerful than usual".

I wanted to talk to someone about this and now was the perfect opportunity.

"Okay, you really wanna know?"

"Yeah".

I paused for a moment and then revealed the main reason why I was so happy.

"Shaoqi Lin asked me out after school".

I couldn't help but smile as I saw Jamie's eyes go wide, Shaoqi Lin was a Chinese immigrant who had started at school here a month ago, he was a couple of months older than me with neat dark hair and dark eyes, he spoke English and Chinese fluently but still carried a heavy Chinese accent when he spoke English. We had started to hang out after we first met in one of our classes and I soon developed a crush on him, he was always a perfect gentleman and his sense of humour seemed to match mine perfectly, he too had a certain fondness for pranks, and now he'd asked me out, I had accepted immediately, Jamie seemed to finally find her voice.

"No way, seriously".

I nodded and she continued.

"Oh my God, you got asked out by, like, the hottest guy in school, you are so lucky".

"Yeah well, hopefully, don't forget what my run of luck with boyfriends has been like".

I was thinking, as I said that, about Mark, the guy I'd dated last year, he had been abusive and it was only by some miracle, and the help of my family that I was able to get free of him. However I knew from the moment I met him that Lin was different from Mark, or any of the guys that I had gone out with. Once I'd finished I said bye to Jamie and hurried outside, Lin was waiting for me, he smiled when he saw me and together we left school, I was looking forward to this, who knows, just maybe Lin was the right guy for me.

DRAKE POV

I sighed and checked my watch again, it read 22:00. Okay that was odd, Megan was usually home by now, I couldn't help it, it had been a year since she had dated Mark and he was now out of jail but thankfully, he hadn't come near her again. As far as I knew, what if she was stuck with him just now, I was starting to go mad with anxiety. Walter wasn't helping, he kept trying to tell me to calm down, like just now.

"Drake, you've gotta…

"Please, don't ask me clam down. Listen I can't help it, I'm worried about Megan".

Walter was about to say something but I spoke quickly before he could.

"Look, she's usually back home by now, even if she's out with her friends she usually comes back home about now. That…ex-boyfriend, Mark, he's outta jail now, what if he's…"

Walter shook his head.

"I doubt it, Megan wouldn't even let him approach her and besides I don't think anything's actually wrong with her".

Mom spoke up at that point, backing up what Walter said.

"He's right Drake, I thought you would've noticed, Megan's been a lot more cheerful than usual lately, whatever's happening is making her happy".

I sighed, maybe they were right but that didn't explain this unusual break from Megan's usual routine. I sighed and headed back to my room, Josh was sitting on the couch watching TV, I sighed and just threw myself down onto the couch, Josh looked over at me.

"What's up Drake?"

I repeatedly my concerns about Megan to him, Josh thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Okay, I get what you're worried about, it isn't like Megan to break from routine, but maybe, just maybe Mom and Dad are right, maybe there is nothing to worry about".

"What's that supposed to me?"

Josh shook his head and explained.

"All I'm saying is, maybe Megan is out with her friends and she's having a great time, maybe she just lost track of what time it is".

"…Yeah, maybe".

I rolled my eyes, while it was plausible I didn't think that was what was going on.

Just then I heard the front door opened and closing and then Megan's voice calling out, I quickly got up and headed back through to the living room, Josh was right behind me. We walked in and saw Megan, she was smiling and talking to Mom.

"Sorry I'm a little late, I just lost track of time".

Mom smiled and nodded, Megan turned to leave the room and no doubt to get changed, before she left however I quickly walked over and spoke.

"Hey what kept you?"

"I just told Mom, I was hanging out with Jamie and the other girls and I just lost track of time, why".

I saw her expression change as she said that and I knew she was hiding something, but I wasn't gonna say any thing right now, her next question however, caught me off guard.

"Why are you asking anyway?"

"Huh, oh, I um…I was wondering where you were".

Megan raised an eyebrow at me and then shook her head, laughing.

"God Drake, I hate to say it, but you couldn't be more obvious if you tried".

She then relaxed a little and smiled again.

"You were worried about me?"

"Okay, yeah, I was".

"Well there's nothing to worry about, excuse me".

I nodded and let her head off to her room, I returned to mine and flopped down on the couch sighing again, this time in relief.

MEGAN POV

I stepped into my room and let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding. I had lied to Mom and Drake simply because I wasn't ready to tell them the truth yet, I didn't want them to bring up the past involving Mark again and start trying to make comparisons between Lin and Mark. The first date had gone perfectly, Lin and I had both enjoyed ourselves, it turned out he lived only a few blocks away, so I knew his house was within walking distance. I just wasn't ready to introduce him to the family yet, especially since we had only tonight, just before he dropped me off at home and headed home himself, realised how much we cared for each other and decided to enter into a relationship, Lin was now my new boyfriend. we had made-out a little before he headed home, that had been enjoyable, as I thought about all this I had gotten changed and as I checked my reflection in the mirror I was relieved to see that I no longer saw the reflection of the girl I had been when Mark had been my boyfriend. I looked perfectly happy now and I knew Lin was the reason why.
