"Mattie please come with me" I said giving my best friend the best puppy eyes I could manage.

"Carebear you know I love you, but that is asking for too much" Matt said in a strain voice.

"Please....." I continued pleadingly “I would do anything for you, it’s just this time, I promise"

He snorted “Right. I´ve heard that before. And there is no way, I repeat, no way I´m going with you to the Zoo again. Fifty times was my limit" Matt said accusingly.

Ok, going to the zoo might seem childish and arguing about going even more, but it´s like my favorite place in th whole wide world. For me not going is just like depriving a child from Christmas, like a pop-star losing his voice, like a vampire without blood, like an .......Ok you get the point.

I hugged him by the waist restraining him to walk any further" Mattie.... please! If you go with me I promise to be your best friend until the end of days" I said raising my head, barely reaching his chin.

He smirked “You already are, now if you´ll excuse me I´ve got class" he said unfolding my arms from around him leaving me defeated on the middle of the school hallway.

I stomped my foot childishly not caring if I got the attention of a few by passers "Fine! Be like that, but when Bunny Kangaroo asks me why I wasn´t with him on his birthday you´ll be the one to blame!"

“Whinny doesn´t suit you sweetheart" said a sudden voice.

“Go away " I said to Blake, not in the mood for his teasing.

"Can sweetheart. Now tell me why you are on such a foul mood" He said giving me a questioning look.

I couldn´t tell him. I would look childish in front of him; not that I even care......okay maybe a little.......okay! Maybe I do care a lot.

“No reason " I said looking anywhere but at his eyes.

“You know I don´t like when people lie to me. Know are you telling me or do I have to get it out from you?" He said looking straight into my eyes and taking a menacing step forward.

Oh no....... Here is coming: The reaction.

Now you might be wondering what the "reaction" might be; is pretty easy actually, and I hate it with capital H.

From the moment I came to terms with my TINY crush on Blake it was like my body had its mind of his own. Whenever he came within a meter near me I started to feel those horrible butterflies on my stomach, my hands became all sweaty, my hurt bumping a million beats per second and worst of all my face got all redden. To say I hate my reaction towards him right now would be an understatement.

Last time he grabbed my arm I jumped away from him as fast as I could, not wanting to become all giddy and feel like one of those girls with school crushes. Ugh, and I thought I was making a fool out of myself when I was around Jake. Now I feel like a scared little cat running from him.

“What do you think you´re doing; haven’t you heard about personal space? It’s a really important concept if you ask me, people might thing you´re a creep or some-"

“Shut up. You are so annoying “He said exasperated throwing his hands up “I asked a simple question. Now answer me!" He said cutting off my rambling.
