Yepppppp.
@mannc108206 got the riddle correct first which was, his mother.

I would've posted this a lot sooner but I may or may not have dropped my phone in water...

It's a blur...
<><><><><>

I knock two times.

I hear some shuffling behind the door. Then he opens the door and smiles.

"Word up" I say. He steps aside so I can enter. I come in and follow him into his room.
"Are you excited for you date?" I fake smiles.
He grins widely.

Why does he like her this much?

Does he really not like like me at all? I'm a cool chick. Why doesn't he like me? Why does he like her?

"I'm so excited!" He squeals.
I take in a deep breath. This is hard.
"Remember when you had a crush on her 5 years ago?" I ask fake chuckling

I hate this. I shouldn't have come here.
He laughs and nods. "Yeah. Good times"

Uh no cause you ignored me for 2 weeks.
"Yeah... So anyways, where are y'all going?" I change the subject.

"She said she wants to go to some place called 'The brown bag'" he says.

"Oh fun..."
I murmur. I don't know how long know I can stay calm.

"Mhm. She offered a few other places, but she seemed most fond of that one."

Okay I can't take it.

"Why do you like her?"

I snap. Mistake! I can recover just need to think.
He squints his eyes.

"I mean, what do you like about her?"

Okay saved it.

"A lot of things. She's literally so nice,"

Bull.

"And gorgeous, not that that matters, she's really friendly. She's matured a lot. Oh and, she always shows interest in whatever I'm talking about even if it's super boring"

But what does he like about me? Am I not any of those things?

I feel upset. I need to abort.

"Oh shoot. I forgot I have to watch Harvey. My dads are going to be leaving for a thingy soon.."
I say quietly.
"Oh uh, alright. I'll tell you all about my date when we can talk next!"
He says excitedly.

"You better!"
You better not.

He hugs me, and then i show my way out.

I walk into my house. I actually cried on the way back.

I've never had these types of feelings before and I don't like them.

Why Kessica? Out of all girls.

I'm better then her, why did he not ask me!?

Not that I like him or anything.

Joey walks into the living room. I sit down on the couch and drown in my own self pity.
"Oh hey so what would- wait what's wrong?"

He asks when he looks at my red eyes.

"It's Kyle. He-"

I start.
"Code magenta!"
Joey yells into the hallway.
