Alex and Jared

Jared

I'm sweating bullets. Every second, I almost gag and vomit. I just want to get this over with.

Alex has absolutely no clue what she does to me. I almost laugh in spite of myself, remembering that I, at first, wanted to be friends with her.

Well this is my chance- it's now or never. I saunter over to her and try not to lose my cool.

"Sup?"

"Let's see, I'm about to fly to Amsterdam, I'm leaving my parents behind, and I won't get to see my older sister that's on her honeymoon until next year. I have to say, it's been a pretty messed up week."

"Hey, well, if you want to talk about it, here's my number."

Alex burst out laughing, "Since when are you a therapist?"
