Stacey went on signing Autographs like the kiss never happened.But Calvin paused for a second to think of a reason why she was

acting so calm.He finally came too and signed some more autographs.

Shap:S club the planes ready.

They all made a path through their fans.

Aaron:Bye guys.

Aaron,Jay,and Calvin sat on one side of the plane.Stacey,Hannah.and Rochelle sat in one row and Frankie and Daisy sat behind them.

Daisy:So what was up with that kiss?

Stacey:I don't know.

Rochelle:Who cares what was up behind it,was he a good kisser?

Stacey:Diffenatly.

Aaron:What do you think was up behind that kiss.

Calvin:He was probably her boyfriend.

Aaron:You think she has one?

Calvin:Why should I care.

Jay:We all know you like her.

Calvin:So what if I do,she has a boyfriend.

Jay:You don't know if that's her boyfriend.

Calvin:Oh,come on.If he's not her boyfriend why did she let him kiss her for so long and after they kissed how come she didn't get mad?

Calvin:Can we not talk about this anymore.

Aaron,Jay:Ok.

Stacey:What if Calvin thinks that that boy is my boyfriend?

Hannah:I don't think he does.

Frankie:You know,he might.

Stacey:What do you mean?

Frankie:Calvin's the type that jumps to conclusions.The only way he'll think that

that boy isn't your boyfriend is if you tell him you like him.

Stacey:I can't do that.

Frankie:It's your choice.

For most of the trip the group slept.They'd wake up and switch seats.Now Rochelle was sitting where Daisy was sitting and vis versa Jay was sitting next to Hannah who was now sitting next to Frankie in the front row.Stacey got up from her seat and went over to Calvin and Aaron.

Stacey:Aaron you can take my seat.

Aaron got up and moved over to Where Stacey was sitting and she took his seat.

Stacey:What's up Calvin?

Calvin:Nothing.

Calvin was still mad.

Stacey:What ya listening too?

Calvin:Linkin' Park.

He turned off his cd player and got up.Calvin went over to sit with the others.Stacey turned around in her seat and looked out of the window,she began to cry.Later on Stacey fell asleep.Calvin walked back over the seat next to Stacey.He looked at her and saw that her eyes were swollen.He sat down.Stacey was still sleep.Calvin started to talk.Stacey could here everything he was saying even though she was sleep,but she saw it a different way.Stacey was in a beautiful gown,and Calvin was in a white tuxedo,they were the only two in the ball room.Calvin in Stacey's dream was saying the same thing the real Calvin was saying.

Calvin:I'm sorry I was so mean earlier,it's just that I'm in love with you and you have a boyfriend

but I'm gonna be happy for you.You deserve the best.

Calvin lent in and kissed her on the cheek.

Calvin:I love you.

Calvin got up.

Frankie looked out of the window.

At the house.Stacey went up to her and Frankies room.She turned on the radio and "Superstar by Jamelia was on. Rochelle,Hannah,Daisy,and Frankie hurried in to the room.She turned off the radio.

Rochelle:So what was up with your dream?

Stacey:Well,I was in this beautiful gown.I was alone in this big ball room and then Calvin walked in,he was wearing a white tuxedo,then he grabed me by the hand and spun me around.Then "Guilty" by Blue came on and we danced till the very end of the song.Next we sat down and we talked but here's the weird part.He told me that he was sorry for being so mean earlier and that it was only because he loved me and that I had a boyfriend.He said he's gonna be happy for me,because I deserve the best,then he kissed me on the cheek and said I love you one more time and then walked away.

The girls were trying to hold in their laughs but they couldn't.

Stacey:What's so funny?

Frankie:Should I tell her?

Rochelle:Yeah we've waited to long.

Stacey:Tell me what?

Frankie:What you said Calvin said he really did say,but you were sleep.So you heard it a different way.

Stacey ran out of the room.The girls were cracking up.Stacey ran down stairs.She saw Aaron on the couch,she walked over to him.

Stacey:Where's Calvin?

Stacey moved his earphone.

Stacey:Where's Calvin?

Aaron:He went to the park.

Stacey:Where is it?

Aaron:It's right near here just go up two blocks.

Stacey:Thanks Aaron.

Aaron put his headphones back on.Stacey ran out of the door and ran up two blocks to the park.When she got to the park she didn't see Calvin,She ran all over,she finally found him.She ran up to him.Calvin looked up.

Calvin:Stacey?

She sat down.She was out of breath but she didn't care,she lent in and kissed Calvin.They stopped.Stacey fainted.

Calvin:Stacey?

Calvin took of the hat that he got in Flordia (I put a underline because Florida's in America)on vacation with his family and waved it in her face to give her air.Stacey woke up.

Stacey:That was better than I imgained.

Calvin smiled.

Calvin:Are you ok?

Stacey:Yeah.

Calvin:What are you doing here?

Stacey:I came to tell you that.....I love you too.

Calvin:But what about your boyfriend?

Stacey:What boyfriend?

Calvin:They one who kissed you at the airport.

Stacey:Him,that was a fan,I don't know who he was.

Calvin:Then why were you so calm.

Stacey:I didn't want to draw attention,see it's just like the girls who flash you,you don't draw attention,but I don't think they're your girlfriends.

Calvin:Sorry.

Stacey:It's ok.

Calvin:Never thought I'd know what it felt like this early.

Stacey:Know what what feels like?
