Heart Of InnocenceChapter 1
Monday -
Elizabeth awoke the next morning, her eyes still puffy from crying herself to sleep the night before. Memories from yesterday were flashing in her head "William was moving away. Her best friend of all time was leaving her." She thought to herself. She looked at her clock. It read 7:00am. She got up and started getting ready for school. After her shower, she dressed and went downstairs.
"Hi honey." Joyce said joyfully.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad…" She responded with a little smile.
"Morning Sweetie."
"What would you like for breakfast?" Joyce asked.
"Umm…actually, I was just about to go to school. Is it okay if I skip breakfast this morning? I'm not really that hungry. I'll just grab a kudos bar okay?"
"Sure hon."
"Okay, bye!" She grabbed a kudos bar, her backpack and sweater and was out the door.
"Bye…" Both her parents said in unison.

Ring!!!
The bell rang after 5th period. "Finally!" Elizabeth thought. It was time for lunch and she didn't really feel much like eating. She got up just as William was walking towards her.
"Hey"
"Hey Will…"
"Look -" "Elizabeth -" They both said at the same time.
"You go first." William insisted.
"Okay, umm…I'm sorry about yesterday... I totally freaked... I mean... I should be…umm, I don't know... I was going to go with 'happy' but... I'm not! And not that I'm mad at you or anything... You get me right?"
"Yeah luv. 'S ok."
"So…what were you gonna say?"
"'S nothing, pet. Let's just go get our lunch."
"Ok, but I am not really that hungry."
And with that they walked off to lunch.

Tuesday -
After school, Elizabeth walked home until she heard someone call her name.
" 'Lizabeth!"
She turned around. It was William. "Hey Will!"
He caught up to her. "So luv. What do you have planned for the rest of this bloody day?"
"Nothing really…but I was wondering, you know. Since you're moving and all, can I stay at your place for the rest of the week? It'll be great…sort of like a good-bye thing. But, only if you'd want me to, 'cause then-" Just then William cut her off.
"Sure, pet. I'll miss you, you know."
"I know…I'm gonna miss you too. I've known you since we were what ... since we were like in diapers. And now 15 years later, you've gotta move away."
"Yeah, and next thing I know…" By this time, they stopped walking and were glaring at each other. William forgot what he was going to say, and decided to say something better. "I'm gonna kiss you now."
"Good." And with that they shared the best passionate kiss they'd ever had. That is, until she pulled away.
"Umm…I should get home. Mom's waiting. I'll see you later?"
"Uh, yeah love."
"Okay, bye…" She started to walk off in a different direction as he was. God, he's a good kisser. I wonder what he looks like with his shirt off…NO!!! Bad, bad Elizabeth. Just walk home…think of something else. He's your best friend. You don't want to lose that friendship. She thought to herself.

William watched her walk off then started walking home himself. You stupid git! You kissed Elizabeth…it was a good kiss though. That's all that William thought…he kept thinking about it and couldn't wait until later when she would come over.
