As I finish up in Aniya's room, I give her a kiss on the cheek, signaling I need to go.

"Already?" She whines.

"Yes, I'm sorry." I smile-frown "I've got to head to my next class. It's clear on the other side of the school."

"Awh," she says with her arms around my neck, mine around her waist.

"Okay fine," she gives in "I'll let you go... but be careful around Page, okay?"

I roll my eyes and smile. "Of course. Bye. I'll see you tonight." I say kissing her on the cheek once more.

"See you tonight."

I walk out then head to the bathroom. As I walk in, I see page. Again.

"Oh hi Mariah. How are you?" She says in a very sarcastic voice.

I try not to be that big of a bitch, so I just responded in a 'casual' like way.

"Fine."

She tilted her head looking at my lips for about 2 seconds, then quickly looked up.

"How cute," she started, looking down to my neck. "You have some lipstick on your neck, from-"

"You wanna finish that sentence?" I say as put my hand over her mouth making sure she doesn't say the next words that came to mind. "Because if you do i'll,"

She grabs my wrist, lifting it up slightly. "You'll what? You gonna hit me?"

"I might." I say.

"We'll see if actually would have the balls to do so,"

I quickly pull away from her grasp of my hand.

"Try me." I say as I get closer to her face.

My face just inches away from hers, she seemed to be, enjoying this for some odd reason. She begins to smile.

"You think this is funny? I'll beat your ass right here Page, don't test me."

"Oh, I have a feeling you might." She says before looking down at my lips once more but this time, her eyes stay there for longer. About 5 seconds. She then looks up at me, but this just made me look at her lips, for the same amount of time.

I feel her start to get nervous, and sweat, then swallow hard. I couldn't help but smile. I knew something was up... I just didn't know exactly what. She then moves back, stammering her words a bit.

"U-um..." she says visibly nervous, and visibly sweating, and slightly breathing heavy.

"What's wrong? Cat caught your tongue?"

She just looked at me with her mouth slightly open, trying to find words to say.

"I'll be on my way then." I say as I move back more, leaving the bathroom. But damn I really needed to pee.

Thinking back to what Page had done, looking at my lips more than once, stuttering after I had gotten close to her, the sweating, the nerves, the gulping,

'No', I thought. She can't ...

Could she have a crush on me?
