“Do tell.” Quentin smirked.

“What? I’m not telling you anything.” Claira giggled.

“Aw come on, I thought I was your best friend.” He said.

“Best friends have secrets too ya know.” She said playfully.

“Please? I wanna know.”

“Why do you want to know?” she asked.

“I just want to, come on tell me.” He said.

“No!” Claira laughed.

“Come on, I know you’re gonna tell me.” He said tickling Claira.

“No! Quentin stop that!” she said as she laughed really hard while squirming around.

“Fine! Fine! Stop tickling me!” she shouted. Quentin stopped tickling Claira and sat up.

An hour later when Quentin got home….

“SHE HAS A THING FOR YOU!” Quentin shouted at Quinn.

“She does?” he asked.

“Well obviously she does! How could this happen?!” he asked.

“Dude, relax, maybe she just…uuuh.”

“Yeah...’uuuh’.” he said sarcastically while rolling his eyes.

“Quentin, Bro, I’m sorry that this happened.” Quinn said.

“Why would she fall for you instead of me? I was with her the longest, I should be the one who she likes.” He said.

“Well, we’ll work this out, okay? I promise you that we will make Claira fall for you.” He said.

“Really? You will?”

“Yeah, you’re my bro.” he smiled.

“Thanks man.” Quentin managed to smile.

“You’re welcome.” He winked.

The day of Claira’s operation…

“Don’t be nervous sweetie you’ll be fine.” Claira’s mother said caressing her hair.

“No, I won’t be fine unless Quentin is here!” she said as her hands shook from the pressure she was feeling.  

“He’ll be here honey, you just have to wait.” Her mother said.

“I’m so nervous…I-I’m shaking.” She said.

“Yes, I know that honey, I understand that this operation is a very big deal, but try relaxing okay? Breathe sweetie.” She said. After a few minutes…

“Claira?” the doctor called.

“Y-Yes?”

“It’s your turn, let’s go sweetie, your life is about to change.” The doctor said.

“It already has.” Claira smiled to herself.

“Oh dear you’re shaking.” He said.

“I know, I’m sorry I’m just scared.” She said with a sigh.

“Take care of her doc.” Her mother said.

“I will.” He said with a smile. He walked away with Claira with him to a room to change her clothing.

With Quentin…

“Dude I’m gonna be late! Today is Claira’s operation!” he shouted at Quinn who was upstairs.
