I finally finished my research paper for History and handed in the rest of my homework. I'm finally a little ahead of the assignments rather than just being on time. It's my comfort zone to be a couple of assignments ahead. Amber's 4H club had to figure out a way to sponsor the Winter dance so she decided to hold a Winter Carnival and all clubs and

*walks into Espreso Pump and grabs table while Nick gets coffee*

*smiles at him when he walks back to the table. takes sip of coffee*

Thank you. So hows all the winter carnival planning coming along?

[nicholas_baker]

*sighs*

I'm in too many extracurricular activities. To many booths and things to think up. How about you? Any of your groups come up with ideas yet?

*sips his coffee*

[theresa_trejo]

*smiles a little tries to look surprise*

You have to many extracurriculars? I never would have thought so.

*giggles a little*

The soccer teams no big on imagination. Kick some goals, win so cheesy prize. One of the girls mom order these stuffed animals and Mardi Gras beads from this bulk store.

[nicholas_baker]

*laughs*

That's right, Baby, mock me and my insane schedule. I wanted to have a dunking booth and put Snyder inside, but I doubt he would agree.

*takes a sip of his coffee*

How have things been with you? Everything alright?

[theresa_trejo]

*laughs*

I would give like anything to see Snyder in a dunking booth. He likes you, I bet you could convince him somehow.

*smiles a little. looks down at coofee cup*

They've been okay. Busy, lots of things changing, but okay.

[nicholas_baker]

I don't think he likes me enough to volunteer to let *mimics Snyder's voice* 'these teenage hellions' toss balls to dunk him in water.

*looks at her with concern*

Theresa, talk to me, Baby, I can tell something isn't right.

[theresa_trejo]

I'm okay, Nick,, really.

*forces a smile*

I'm really happy for that you got into Stanford. Its just all hit home, that you're graduating and will be gone by this time next year.

[nicholas_baker]

*nods his head*

You know I'll drive down to see you as much as I can, right?

*voice quiet*

It was hard to choose a school, Tres. I had to factor in a lot of things and you were the main factor. That's why I freaked out about getting into Stanford...it was the closest college to you...well outside of Sunnydale Community college.

[theresa_trejo]

*shoulder slump*

See this is why I wasn't gonna say anything. I was just gonna be happy for you.

*looks him in the eye*

And I am, happy for you and so proud of you. You should be going to Harvard or Yale or something. Not that Stanford isn't an impressive school either. You just should have had your choice at any school. Not just one in California, because you felt you had to stay close.

*forces a smile*

I know you'll come back and visit when you can.

[nicholas_baker]

*reaches across the table, takes her hand in his*

I didn't want to go across the country to attend those schools, Baby. At one time? Yeah. Hell, I was so tired of being overprotected by my parents, I wanted to go to Oxford.

That isn't the case anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. Stanford is an excellent school and I am happy to be going. But I have no intention of being one of those guys who takes off to college and forgets the girl he loves back home.

*smiles at her*

I need you, Theresa. You're my Guinevere and I will make this relationship work, no matter if we're a couple streets apart or a few towns apart.

[theresa_trejo]

*smiles shakily*

You know that I would never want to hold you back from doing something you wanted to do. College is supposed to be this whole experience. Being on your own, *smirks a liitle* joining a fratenity, and lord knows you'll take on ten times more classes than you actually need to. You're gonna be busy. And you're going to want to do college stuff. You're not going to have time to be trapsing back here.

*trying to find what she's trying to say*

I love you, Nick. I want you to be happy, to enjoy your whole college thing. You don't need to be worrying about home.

*looks at him.*

You're Guinivere isn't going anywhere. I'll be here for you, whenever, whatever you need. I'm just was trying to be realistic about all this.

*smiles, determined*

It'll all be okay.

[nicholas_baker]

Coming home to see you? Tres, that is something i'm going to want to do. Just like I'm going to be begging your parents to let you come up and visit too. Whatever it takes.

*stares at her*

College will be fun and I'll get what I need out of it, but I am not leaving you or our relationship behind. I swear to you, I'm not.

[theresa_trejo]

I didn't think...I was certainly hoping...I mean I wasn't thinking that you would completely want to leave me..us..behind. I just didn't want to be clingy and make you feel like you had to come home all the time, instead of just hanging out enjoying college.

*thinking, smiles a little*

I'll be able to drive *grins* legally by then, and with the way I work, I'm I'll be able to buy myself some kind of car. I don't think the 'rents could really stop me from coming up and seeing you.

*makes a face*

Is that gonna be weird for you? Dating someone in high school.

[nicholas_baker]

I was hoping to convince them to let you stay with Marcus and me during the weekends occasionally.

*smiles*

Not weird at all. You're my girlfriend and honestly, Tres, you are more mature than most college girls. Besides, I love you.

[theresa_trejo]

*smiles slightly blushes*

Um yeah. Daddy might think it's a bad plan. He still thinks...Well, that doesn't matter. Besides its a year from now. A billion things can happen between now and then. Lets hold off on asking them that for now. Less time for them to dwell on..stuff. Which you know when you think about it's pretty stupid since we've be together this long and stayed under the same roof and stuff and well nothings....*looks up at him turns bright red* ayeah, um anyways. Its stupid of them to worry so much.

*laughs*

Heh, its all those acting classes, I'm good at pretending I'm mature. But good to know I can pull it off.

*smiles*

I'm glad, I wouldn't want you embarassed or something. Cause, I love you too and you feeling weird about us would be a bad thing. And I'll stop rambling at any minute now.

[nicholas_baker]

*blushes*

Yeah, um, the staying under on roof thing...hopefully by the time I'm off for school and stuff, you're dad will realize we haven't gone there and stuff.

*blushes more*

Rambling is cool. You're cute when you ramble. It's going to be alright, Tres, I promise. No more worrying about college though. Let's just relax and finish out this year and our summer.
