        "Aw, c'mon George, whudda want? I'm busy," you said annoyed as George poked you repeatedly.
       "I want someone to hang out with. I'm bored to death and the boys are out."
     "Why didn't you go with them?"
     George shrugged. You sighed. "Alright, what do you want to do?"
     "Let's play a board game."
    "Really? A board game? You're bugging me for a board game?" You said, holding up your book for English class.
     George looked hurt. "I'm sorry, I just-"
    "No, I'm sorry. I'm being too harsh. Alright, we'll play, but just one game. Ya hear that, Harrison?"
     He grinned, showing his fangs. "Yes'm. One." George ran to the closet and came back. He held the game Sorry in his hands.
     "I know you love this game," he said. You and George set up the game, and you reached for a card. George stopped your hand.
     "Let's make it a little more interesting. Let's make a bet. What do you want if you win?"
     "I would want for you to leave me be for the rest of the day so I could finish my book and not fail my class."
     "Well, if I win, I want a kiss."
    "No way."
   "Yes way." He pouted his lip. You did have a crush on George, and he made his obvious. But with him being gone a lot, you weren't sure you wanted to give in.
    Sighing, you said, "Alright, fine. But just one kiss."
    "Jeez, you sure love the number one, don't ya?"
   You couldn't help but smile. You two started the game, and in about 40 minutes, you two were tied. You were 4 spaces away from home, and George was 6 spaces away from his. You felt confident you would win. But, George happened to pull a 6, and he danced around and slid next to you. You two leaned in, and kissed. And kissed again. And it turned into you throwing your arms around George's neck and he held you close to him. He broke off the kisses.
    "Looks like number one wasn't in your favor this time."
