"Hey Elizabeth! Guess what I jut found out? Go on, guess!" My friend Mel says.
"What?" I ask. Whatever it is, she seems very excited. But before she can tell me what she found out, my crush walks by. I'm sure you're wondering what he looks like. He's not the hot jock that's in every movie. He's more of a cute, nerdy guy. His name is Matthew Thompson. He's about 5'7 (pretty tall for an 8th grader.) He has short brown hair and crystal blue eyes. Matthew and I make eye contact. I blush and look away. Mel elbows me in the rib cage and I can tell she's about to do something stupid.
"Hey Liz! Look, it's your bae!"
I stomp on her foot. Matthew looks at me quizzically. Oh great, I think, now he knows something is up. I drop my gaze and pretend to look for something in my book-bag. After a little bit, I look up at Mel. She's smirking at me.
"Why would you do that?!" I exclaim.
She gives me her fake, innocent look.
"Do what?" She asks me, a little bit too sweetly. I can feel my face turning red. I try to take deep breaths and calm myself down.
"Don't you play games with me! You know exactly what you did! You embarrassed me in front of him! He wasn't supposed to know that I liked him!' I scream.
"I did you a favor. You weren't ever going to make a move so I made one for you. Plus, he was totally checking you out." She wiggles her eyebrows at me.
I want to stay mad at her, but she DID have a point. I sigh.
"Was he really checking me out?" I ask sheepishly. She nods her head furiously, relieved that I'm not mad at her anymore.
