The gang at the Book Café
____________________
"Hey Kay, what's up," Miguel asked.
"Hey everybody, what's up?"
"We asked you first Kay." Simone said sitting in a huge chair at the book café.
"Nothing guys. I've just been hanging out, that's all."
"With who Kay?" Kay's sister Jessica asked.
"Stop being so nosy brat." Kay snapped.
"Nall Kay, we want to know." Miguel said curiously. "You haven't been hanging out with us. We want to know who your new friends are."
"Just someone I met about two weeks ago. No one really special."
"No one really special? I've been by your house everyday for the last two weeks, and I haven't seen you once. A few nights I left at nine o'clock, and you still hadn't made it home."
"Miguel both me and your curfew is at 9:30PM. You have to leave my house before I could get there so you won't break yours."
"Anyway, that's not the point. The point is you've been hanging out with someone whom you haven't introduced us to. Are you ashamed of your friends."
"No Miguel, I just haven't had a chance to introduce you guys yet. Oh, except for Simone."
"Yeah and wait until you see who she's been hanging out with. Some people have all the luck."
Simone laughed.
Kay nudged Simone, "Hush Simone, he's not that special."
"He?" Everyone kind of blurted out all together.
"What? Did you think that I wasn't going to date anyone? That I would just hang out with my friends and their special someone? Well I don't think so. I mean Nicholas and I are not serious, we just met. But you never know."
"Nicholas who?" Miguel asked.
Just at that moment, Nicholas came into the book café. Every girl's eye in the place was on this very cute young stranger. Including Charity.
"Who is that?" Reese asked straitening his glasses.
"I don't know." Miguel responded. "I've never seen him before."
Just then Nicholas spotted Kay and walked over to where the gang was sitting.
"Hey Kay, what's up?" Nicholas said hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Nicholas, I want to introduce you to my friends."
Nicholas turned to face the group of young people sitting around the table. Every eye was on him curiously wondering where he came from.
"You know Simone."
"Yes, Hey Simone."
"Hey Nicholas."
"This is my sister Jessica and her friend Reese."
"Hello," Nicholas said shaking hands with them.
"Hi," Jessica said not knowing why Kay hadn't introduced her to Nicholas before now.
"How you doing?" Reese replied.
"This is my cousin Charity."
"Nice to meet you Charity."
"You also Nicholas." Charity said smiling.
"And last but not least, this is..."
"Miguel, right?" Nicholas said reaching out his hand to shake Miguel’s.
Miguel stood up and shook the young man's hand.
"That's right, nice to meet you, Nicholas is it?"
"Yes, but I also go by Fox. All my friends called me that in Europe. I've heard so much about you, all of you." He said looking around.
"Well that's more than we can say. Kay hasn't told us anything about you." Miguel said frowning.
Nicholas turned to Kay and put his arm around her.
"Actually I asked Kay not to mention me to you guys. I didn't want you to have any pre-greeting notions about me. So I asked her to introduce us all together. Simone saw the two of us together one day and Kay had to introduce me to her best friend and her boyfriend Rob."
"Oh, so you know Robby too." Miguel asked still not knowing what to make of all this.
"Yes, in fact, Rob and I talk often. He was the first male friend I've met here in Harmony."
"So where are you from Fox?" Charity asked.
"I'm from a boarding school in Europe, but I'm going to finish out my last two years at Harmony High."
"Who are your folks?" Miguel asked wondering what to make of him.
"Julian and Ivy Crane."
"Your parents are THE Cranes?" Jessica asked bright eyed.
"Yes, I'm the youngest of five. All my sisters are older than me, and you know my brother Ethan."
Every one sitting around kind of nodded and smiled at the mention of Ethan's name.
"In fact Miguel, I've met your sister Theresa. Ethan took me, Kay, and Theresa out to dinner last night."
Hmm Theresa didn't mention this to me. Miguel thought.
"Well, sorry guys we can't stay. Nicholas and I have plans."
"Yeah Nicholas is taking me, Robert, and Kay to see Brittany Spears tonight." Simone said very exited.
"Brittany is not singing in Harmony." Miguel said thinking he had one up on Nicholas.
"We know Miguel," Kay responded. "She's singing in Chicago. Nicholas's father is allowing us to fly to Chicago in their family's private jet."
"Wow!" Jessica gasped.
"Oh how lovely," Charity replied.
"Yeah nice." Miguel said bugged.
"Well it was nice meeting you guys. Hope to see you again soon." And at that time Nicholas put his arm around Kay and asked if she was ready to leave.
"Sure Nicholas. Bye everyone." And the couple walked out hand in hand.
"Bye!” They all chimed together. All except Miguel. He didn't know why he felt like this, but he wasn't sure he liked the idea that Kay was dating this Fox character, or her seeing anyone for that matter.
"They make a cute couple don't they?" Charity said watching them leave.
"They're not a couple. Miguel said quickly. They're just friends."
"I don't know man. It sure looks like those two are couple material, which is great. I'm glad Kay found someone nice like Nicholas."
"Yes he is kind of nice Reese." Jessica said.
"We hardly know him. He's a Crane, and you know how that family is." Miguel said with folded arms.
"What's wrong Miguel? I've never seen you react to any one like this before." Charity asked.
"Nothing. I'm just surprise a guy like Nicholas Crane would want to hang out with us."
"What's wrong with us. He's not that much different. A sixteen young male who like pretty girls is what we always see around Harmony."
"That's not what I meant Reese. You know how that family acted to the idea of Theresa and Ethan being together. They think that they could only be with their own kind."
"Well that's just ridiculous Miguel. I think that if Kay and Nicholas like each other, they should be allowed to date each other, no matter who's rich and who's not." Charity replied.
"I guess so." Miguel replied. "If that is who Kay wants to date."
"Who wouldn't want to date a handsome, rich, and very polite young man. Kay sure got lucky with that one."
"He's the lucky one." Miguel snapped. "And I hope he knows that too. And I hope he doesn't do anything to hurt her, or he'll have to answer to me."
"Miguel calm down. Nicholas doesn't look like the type to disrespect anyone. And besides, you and Kay aren't little kids anymore. She can take care of her self."
"I know Simone, I guess I feel obligated protecting her like when we were young. The kids in the class were always picking on Kay. She was much shorter than everyone else if you could believe that."
"I remember Miguel, I was in the same classes with you guys. The Three Musketeers everyone would say."
"But most of the time people would say Miguel and Kay, like we were married or something."
"Yeah well that was a long time ago. You have Charity now, and Kay's a big girl who would eventually fall for someone like Nicholas."
"Yeah Miguel," Charity said. "Give Nicholas a chance. He just may be what Kay needs in her life right now. She deserves to be happy don't you think?"
"Yes, she definitely deserves to be happy, who wouldn't want that for their very best friend."
Simone looked at Miguel wondering what he was thinking. She couldn't wait to see Kay to let her know how Miguel reacted in meeting Nicholas. And then she too left.

Two months later, October
“What’s up Miguel, where you headed?”
“Oh hey Reese, I’m on my way to Kay’s to see if she could help me with my Trig homework.”
“Why ask Kay? I’m equally smart as Kay in Trig. Why not ask me?”
“No offense buddy, but she’s much more prettier, and those legs are awesome.” Miguel said laughing.
“Man, I’ve never heard you talk about how pretty Kay was before. What brought this on?”
“What? I’m sure I’ve talked about how gorgeous my best friend is before.”
“I don’t think so Miguel. The only person I’ve heard you ever talk about was Charity. What brought about this change of heart?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Reese. I have always thought Kay was beautiful. Always!”
“Let me see if I’ve got this right. Pretty, gorgeous, and beautiful? Are we talking about Kay or Charity?”
“What? I’m not allowed to talk about how pretty Kay is?”
“I’m not saying that Miguel. It’s just strange that you’re not talking about Charity, that’s all.”
“I don’t talk about Charity all the time do I?”
“24 hours a day my man.”
“Get out Reese. Please tell me I don’t. And especially around Kay.”
“Kay, Simone, Jessica, the whole gang knows how much you love her. Love at first sight right?”
“Yeah, love at first sight.” Miguel said, not believing his own words.
“Yeah, well, tell Kay I said hello O.K.?”
“Will do.” Miguel said, slapping Reese on the arm as he turned in the direction to Kay’s house.
**********************************
At the Bennett’s
“Hey Miguel, what’s up?”
“What’s up Jessica? Is Kay home?”
“Kay?” Jessica said not believing her ears.
“Yes Kay, is she home?”
“Oh sure Miguel, hold on.”
“Kay, you’ve got company!” Jessica said calling up to Kay’s bedroom.
“Send him up Jess!”
Miguel ran up the stairs to Kay’s room where he used to spend all of his time at before he met Charity.
“Hey Kay, can I come in?”
“Oh hey Miguel, I thought you were Nicholas. He’s picking me up in a little bit to go see the new movie that’s out.”
“Oh that’s nice.”
“I could have sworn Jessica said Kay, she must have said Charity. I guess I need my ears checked.”
“Oh, no, she said Kay. I came to see you.”
“Why? Is everything all right?”
“I thought you could help me with my Trig homework. I’m stuck on a problem.”
“Oh sure, what’s the problem?”
“It’s on page 92.”
Kay got her Trig book and opened it.
Miguel leaned down close where she sat at her night table.
She turned to the page and told him to watch how she worked out the problem.
But Miguel didn’t pay attention to the math problem at all. Instead he closed his eyes, and thought how lovely her hair smelled. He was feeling something inside of him that he didn’t think possible. How could he be falling for Kay? She was his best friend. He couldn’t be in love with her could he?
Nall! Miguel thought. This is insane. I love Charity. She’s the girl for me, not Kay. But there’s a connection with Kay that I don’t have with Charity. She knows my deepest and innermost thoughts. My dreams and desires I’ve shared with her. My wants and needs are no stranger to Kay. Why haven’t I seen this before? What is going on? The thoughts just kept coming as Miguel leaned close to Kay. He wanted her to turn around so that his lips could meet hers. But what would she say? Miguel thought. Is it possible that she would kiss me back? Turn around Kay. Turn around and look at me. He thought.
Just at that moment Kay turned and met Miguel’s gazed.
“So, did you see that Miguel?”
“See, what, huh, oh, yes, the problem. I got it.”
“Are you O.K.?”
“Oh yes, I was just thinking about something.”
“What’s up. You know you can tell me.” Kay said putting on her lipstick.
Miguel watched her lips very closely as she went across them with her lipstick, now on his knees beside her chair.
“Um, I was wondering um, um,”
“Just say it Miguel, you’ve always told me what’s on your mind.”
“Well,” Miguel moved closed to Kay. Something was pulling him close to her. He wanted to kiss her and be done with it and then deal with the consequences. But then something interrupted his thoughts.
“Kay!” Jessica said calling up to her. “Nicholas’s here!”
“I’ll be right down!” Kay said hollering back.
“Well I guess this is going to have to wait Miguel.”
“Yeah I guess so.”
Miguel walked to the bed room door with her and said, “Maybe we could get together tomorrow and spend the day together like old times.”
“Just me and you?” Kay said sounding surprised.
“Yes!”
“Sure, why not.” Kay put her soft hands on Miguel’s face and leaned forward and gave him a very lightly peck on the lips.
“Until tomorrow then.”
“Until tomorrow.” Miguel said feeling like he was about to explode.
