"Hey, Blubity," A voice beside me chirps, and I look over, raising an eyebrow at my friend, Jacobs, laying next to me. "You talking to any chicks? You know, like a crush or something?" Jacobs asks me, nudging my side as he looks right at me, his expression teasing me. I take a moment to reply, the back of my head resting on my hands as I collect my thoughts. I'm not usually one for teasing, but.. maybe I could try.

"Yeah, I am." I say, returning the others gaze.

"Really?! Shit, who is it?" his eyes widen, and I can tell he's eager to know.

"Not telling." is all I say with a smug look on my face.

"Aww, dammit, Blubity, you're no fun. Can you at least describe her to me? Pretty please?" he pouts. I only sigh and nod.

"Fine. For starters, she's got the best curly, brown hair."

"Only I have the best curly brown hair." Jacobs comments.

"Okay, okay, then second best." I laugh at him, then examine his facial features. He only gets more prettier the more I stare.

"She's got those kinds of eyes that make you drown in thought, you know? It makes you think about how pretty she is. Oh, and makes you wonder what her eye color is even supposed to be." I continue.

Jacobs's face scrunches up, and I can tell he's trying to think of all the people he knows with those kinds of eyes. If only he knew how mesmerizing his eyes were, even if I don't get this close with him often.

"She's got lots of piercings too. It makes her stand out from everyone else. She looks really cool with them."

"Oh, really?" Jacobs asks. I knew that would pique his interest. He loves piercing himself.

"Yeah. On her face, on her ears.. probably has some I don't even know about." I look up at the sky. "She's really a dream."

"You're really cheesy. You make me sick."

"You're not any better, you know."

"Hey, I'm wayyy better!" Jacobs huffed. "I've got the best pick up lines."

"Hit me with one." I challenge.

"Uhh.." he trails off, then shakes his head. "Keep describing her to me."

Oh, how I love this boy. I shake my head, a snicker escaping my lips. "She's got a really nice fashion sense. She likes geometrical shapes a ton. At least, that's what I think."

"Hey, I like geometrical shapes."

"I know, Jacobs." I smile, then continue. "Her personality is amazing. Wild. I don't really know how to describe it."

"First me, now her? Huh, you're like a magnet, dude."

"Guess so. She's kind of irresponsible, but.. she's nice. To me. Very nice. Maybe not around others, but I know she cares about me whenever I'm with her."

"Oooh, sounds like she likes you back."

"You think so?"

"I mean, don't take my word for it." Jacobs puts his hands up for a second.

"I don't think I will." I say, shaking my head. Even if I was actually looking for relationship advice, I wouldn't go to him, knowing how many partners he's had in the past. "She does risky things sometimes. It's a little worrying, but.. I just care about her a lot."

"You care about a lot of people."

"I know I do. It's hard not to."

"You're strange."
