My face turned red and I nervously laughed.
She giggled.
"You're funny. Thanks for making me feel better."
"Yeah. No problem."
My voice sounded like I was starting puberty.
I sounded like I had a chipmunk in my throat.
She sat down on her bed and I sat beside her.
"So...anything new?"
"Skylar's pregnant."
"What!? Dangit Ash! I knew he should have used protection!"
She laughed and gave me a shove.
"You're a good friend." She said.
"Yeah...a good friend..."
"Something wrong?"
"No. Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired."
"It's only like 8:30 you are never tired at this time you're too busy blowing my phone one up."
I chuckled.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
She poked my side.
"Hey!"
"Tell me."
"No."
She poked it again.
"Stop." I laughed.
She kept poking me.
"Okay! Fine!"
She grinned from ear to ear.
I sighed.
"I have a crush on this girl but she probably doesn't like me. She most definitely doesn't like me back."
"Then why don't you just tell her?"
"It's not that easy. Not for me at least."
"Well maybe she likes you back. Tell me about her."
"Oh, well um, she has this hair and these eyes and a smile-"
"Glad to know she's human."
I laughed.
"And the best sense of humor anybody could ever want. Her eyes are such a perfectly hazel color and her hair is so shiny and smooth and straight. She's perfect," I sighed. "Too perfect for me."
"Wow. It sounds like you really like this girl."
"Yeah. I'm pretty close to her."
"Who is she?"
My heart dropped...
