Christina stared at her boyfriend and smiled. Remembering their first date, she blushed lightly as John turned around and winked.
The bell rang, and the two walked out of class holding hands. "Did you have fun last night?" he asked.
Christina grinned as she opened up her locker. "Heck, yeah. I can't believe it's our six-month anniversary!"
John hugged Christina from behind. "Love you," he whispered.
Her heart skipped a beat. "Love you, too," she whispered back. It was the first time they had said it to each other, and so was the happiest day of their lives. But the happy pair didn't notice the man hiding behind a corner, watching them.
Waiting.

Part two will damn or redeem this.
Time will tell.
I second that, this better be going somewhere good.
Don't worry. It will.
We'll see.
Yup, next Friday. I already have it set up.
I will view it then. Your fate ticks nearer every second.
Just so you know, there will also be a part three. I don't know how long this will be, but it'll be more than just two chapters.
I await with anticipation in the darkness, the only sound the grinding of my ever-sharper axe.
Hey! For all you know, it could be good!
I want to believe it will be, but sense and past experience worry me.
This is the first thing I've written here involving romance! Unless you count the one about the ghost stalking her killer that killed her as a girlfriend substitute, but that's not even romance. Obsession is more like it. Creeper. Like this one time on Criminal Minds...
Okay, focusing. Why does experience teach you otherwise? I'm not a bad writer!
Of course you're not.
Do not patronize me. If you have an opinion about my writing, say it straight out.
I usually do.
You don't seem bitter enough. Obviously I fail to communicate my opinions well.
Either that or I'm trying to make you think that. :P
You can't be, though. It succeeds.
Yay!
Yes! :) What exactly are we discussing?
Part two. Sort of.
What a confusing conversation... Oh, well. :P
Confusion is good! It means everyone is taking part and no one is left out.
I thought conflict signified no one being left out.
Myth.
Sure it is.
We agree then.
Why not.
That warrants a question mark, even if it is rhetorical.
Fine. Why not?
I don't know. Why not?
I'm done.
Best choice in the long run.
Now that this is pretty much over with (or is it?) I'd like to know why you called it Consequences.
I'd like to know how much of this piece was born only after I criticized the short original.
MET: I originally had this story going in a totally different direction, and the title actually applied then. Unfortunately, the characters took my story into their own hands... It sort of applies now, since Mr. Cordell screws everything up with his mild pedophilia, but not as well.
REOGAN: About 30%. The rest was my creative process going haywire.
Haywire? That's exactly what creativity is. Chaos.
Sometimes, true.
To control it is to starve it.
