~Chapter Two~

After the unbelieveable coincidence at Taryns house, everybody decided to split up. With there bf/gf, that is. Claire and Zac decided to go rollerblading, Kate and Tay decided to go lazer tagging, and Ike and Taryn decided to go down to the lake by there houses.

~*~ Zac and Claire strapped on their rollerblades and Zac took Claire's hand-she smiled. They went around the block a few times-then stopped for a short break at Claire's house. Claire was cute with blonde hair and clear blue eyes.She was a gymnast.When she was young she was always doing splits,turning summersaults,and ruining furniture. She was a tiny little thing standing at 4'6" which was 3 inches shorter than Zac. No one was home so they settled in and watched MTV. "Zac do you want some ice cream?"Claire asked. "Sure,what kind?" "Rocky road,duh that's what we always have!"she said smiling. "Oh yeah"Zac said hitting himself in the head. Claire fixed 2 small bowls of rocky road ice cream and carried them into the living room.She sat them on the coffee table then sat down.Zac ate his ice cream in like 2 seconds while Claire took 2 hours.They sat snuggled up watching MTV for hours.

~*~ Tay and Kate walked into lazerquest, the local Lazertaging joint. Since they were both holding hands, they got a few female fans of Tay looking at them.

Kate was a ballet star, she had been doing it since she was 4. She had dark brown hair and brown eyes. She always wore her hair back in a bun with bobby pins. She was very tiny and small boned. She was 5'2" (an inch shorter than taylor, at the time) and around 72 pounds, very underweight, but that was good for ballet. She was pretty out going, not shy or anything, and an overall pretty cool person.

Tay bought her and him a pass, and they went into the room where you got your lazer vest on. Taylor helped her get it on.

"Kate?" He asked, while everybody else was getting their vest on, and he was helping her put hers on.

"Yea tay?"

"I really like you. I'm really glad you guys told us."

Kate smiled. "I really like you too Tay." she said, hugging him, then feeling a little adventurous kissed him quickly on the lips. Tay kissed back. The gate opened for them to go through the dark maze. Tay grabbed her hand, and they went around shooting people.

They had so much fun. After their game of lazer tag, kate asked Tay if he wanted to come over to her place, and he said yes, of course. They watched a video, and Kate thought 'This isn't the same as when we were just best friends. It seems better now. I like it....' she thought smiling. Before they new it it was 10:00 and they had been going between kissing a little and watching the movie, but Tay said '"shoot I gotta get home Kate.....I'll see you tomorow ok?" and gave her a quick kiss and then left.

~*~


"Ike?" Taryn said, as Isaac took her hand. It was around 7:00, the Oklahoma sun was going to set in around half an hour.

"yea?"

"I think its really funny you guys were going to tell us, and we told you."

'"I think its great. I'm really happy you told us though....can I tell you something and you promise not to tell Kate or Claire or Tay or Zac?" Ike said, as they were walking, heading towards the lake.

"Of course ike!"

"I liked you a lot before Taylor even brought it up, which was today."

Taryn smiled. She looked into his eyes and thought 'He is so perfect. Gosh i like him alot.'

"I liked you alot before, also."

Taryn was a surfer at heart, she had always been drawn to the water. She had originaly lived on the Coast of California, in Newport beach. She would always go out and play in the water, no matter how cold it was. She had vague memories of it, but not many, because when she was around 1 and 1/2 she moved here to tulsa. She dressed like a surfer-Roxy, Rusty, and any surf company she could find out in Tulsa. She visited California for a week every summer to see her old friends. Taryn was 5'4", 2 inches shorter than Ike (at the time), very muscular, and usually had her hair pulled back in a pony tail, but would wear it down occasionally. Taryn had blonde hair and pale blue eyes, that would sometimes go sea green in certain light. She wasn't what you would call a tom boy, dressing usually in board shorts or a board skirt, with a tank top or a surfer tee and Dr. Martin slides or sandles. She would also wear stuff from like nordsrom and stuff, trying not to appear to obsessed w/ surfing.

Isaac stopped walking. Taryn stopped. Isaac looked into her blue eyes and put his arms around her waist, and pulled her close, looking into her eyes again and saying softly 'Tar? You have no idea how long I have waited to do this.'

Taryn looked at him, blushed a little. Isaac put his lips to hers, and Taryn closed her eyes and responded. There they were, 2 teenagers kissing on a sandy beach with a lake right by them, just kissing like nothing else mattered in the whole world, holding each other and making out. After about 30 seconds, Ike pulled back and smiled at Taryn, who was in absolute bliss at this point. She looked up at him, and hugged him. With Ike's arms around her she felt totally secure, and safe from the world. She pulled away and Ike said "lets go sit on the dock, ok?"

"Ok."

They climbed up to the edge of the dock. It couldn't have been a more perfect night-the sun was setting, leaving gorgeous clouds behind it, the water was clear and still, and there was no one around but Taryn and Isaac.

It was around 7:30, and when they were both sitting down comfortably on the dock, Ike put his arm around Taryn and Taryn rested her head on his shoulder. They sat there, sort of rocking back and forth, and just watching the sun go down. It was so perfect.

Once the stars came out, they both laid back on the dock so they could watch them. They both just lied there, holding hands, watching the stars apear. Isaac and Taryn both turned there heads at the same time to look at each other. They stared at each other, and eventually they had sat up and Taryn said she was tired, so isaac said she could fall asleep on his shoulder. It was around 10 then,and both of there curfews were 11:30, so they almost had 2 hours left. When Taryn lied her head on Isaacs shoulder, she knew something. She knew that this was the way it was always meant to be-and this was the way it always was going to be. She hadn't cared so much for a person in her whole life. She new they were going to be together forever. Her thoughts faded as she drifted off to sleep.......

Isaac thought: 'Oh my gosh. I cant believe this isn't a dream. Even before I was 2 years old, I had been with Taryn. We had always been the best friends in the whole world. We could talk about anything to each other. Now, Im sitting here, 15 years old. Taryn and me were kissing on the beach by the lake, and we're going out. We were staring at the stars together, and watching the sun set. Now she is asleep on my shoulder- This must be something really special.....' he looked down at Taryn, who looked like an angel who had come down from Heaven. 'Gosh I am lucky......I am so lucky.....' He smiled at Taryn, sleeping on his shoulder. 'This is how its supposed to be....' he thought, and he knew.
