No! No! No! No! This can't be happening!!!!

Am I actually in love with Todd Hunchkin?!

I'm in my room crying right now while trying to figure out how I can save the world when my whole team is breaking apart! The doorbell rings. When I don't answer the door opens and I'm litterly so scared right now hiding under the blankets because I think that it's one of those killers from the horror books that I read!!

With my bat, I walk down stairs. 

"Hey" A voice says from behind.

BANG!

"Okay! I knew you were strong but not that strong" Todd winces.

"OMG! I'M SO SORRY!" I throw the bat to the floor looking at him.

"No, It's fine! Anyway, Happy Birthday!!" He smiles at me.

"Wait, It's my Birthday today?!" I run to the calander only to see a bold looking red circle drawn around todays date. I cannot believe that I forgot about my own Birthday!!

"Thanks, Todd," I smile at him.

"Your welcome. Why do you look like you were crying?" He looks at me suspiciously.

"I was not. I was taking a shower" I follow a fake laugh after which sounds super duper fake to be honest.

"Okay, Well I brought some cake, so I guess i'll go so that you can finish with your shower," He points to the cake.

"NO! Wait! Don't go! Come with me" I say. He blushes real hard and that's when I notice what I just said.

"I mean don't come with me in the shower, come with me in my room" I try to cover up.

Okay so 5 minutes later we're sitting in my room.

"So you want me to help you out on your mission?" He asks.

"Yeah, cause you were chosen to be on my team" He agrees.

"Okay, Have you gotten your power yet?" I ask him.

"No" He looks down again. I can feel it that he really wants to tell me something but he's resisting the urge.

"You can tell me what you want, I promise I won't tell anyone  if it's a secret" I fidget with my hair and bite my lips so hard that they get swollen.

Suddenly it starts to rain outside. He notices that and tries to smile again. Within a second or two the rain stops. Todd leaves the house as I bye to him (I know it sounds weird but just play along with it ┬﹏┬)
