James knew that he had seen her transfer into school, had been curious enough about her small size to see who took her in. Well, her attitude had certainly made everyone turn a head, but not all of them for a good reason. He was popular, a friendly smile and a good looking kid who helped out but could be tough and rugged. He had taken her in that day and never regretted it for a moment. "It probably will be actually. It's a pretty memorable first meeting, you have to admit."

Well that wasn't a very nice thing to say after she had just agreed to date him for real and not those funny double-dates he arranged. He would treat her right after all, show her the ropes and ease her into the whole love thing. "You never complained about my cockiness before, you know," he muttered, though that wasn't necessarily true. She had called him on it a few times. Yet, the idea of being asked questions didn't bother him. "They won't send me home. I have no injuries and I can still shoot a gun. That's what a man needs to be in this war."
