You were like:
I'm sorry I'm such a "stiff stick"
Caleb said trying to immitate my voice, but sadly fails.

We're all at the park eating. We were talking about what happened with Alec and Amanda earlier. It actually felt good. After Abby left I was all alone, but they came to my life. Abby would defend me, but would also get hurt sometimes, so that's why I never let her speak back at anybody. She was like my sister. I should forgive her. I was a little to harsh on her. I guess I needed some time to calm down.

Emmet:"Hey are you okay?"

"Hm? Oh. Yeah. I was thinking about Abby." His eyes grew wide and looked nervous. "Are you okay? You look nervous.....do you know why she moved." He looked like he just missed a heartbeat.

"Yeah I'm fine, and...no... I don't know why she...moved."

"Okay...." I say a little suspicious. I keep eating my sandwich.

Midnight
Me:"I'm tired and hungry."

Emmet:"When aren't you, shortcake."

We're both laying on the grass and looking at the sky staring at the twinkling stars even tho in reality they don't twinkle. Katie and Caleb left because they needed to finish some chores at home, so it's just me and Emmet.

Me:"Good point, but I'm still tired."

He leans closer to me putting his arm around. I don't move his hand. "Can I ask you a question, princess?"

"Yes, Prince?" I say sarcastically.

He chuckled, but got serious a few seconds later."At the party yesterday..."

"Mhm." I say listening to him.

"When you were with Alec dancing...."

"Mhm?" I say a little cofused.

"Did you like the kiss he gave you?"

I chuckle a little,"Why? Is prince jealous?" I say teasing him.

"No, I'm serious..... Did you like it?"

I think about it. For me Alec's kiss was nothing. Well, even tho he did know how to kiss-wait! What am I saying! Am I actually thinking about if liked it?

"Of course not! Why?"

"I don't know. It's just......"He looks down.

"What?"

"Nevermind. It was a stupid idea to bring this up." He stands up, but I drag him down."Ow!"

"You start this conversation and you're going to end it, so speak up."

"You like to take charge princess, I like that."

"Don't try to change the subject."

"Okay, okay. It's just that I think you don't....like me."

"Of course I do you're my friend."

"No, I mean more than just friends."

I think I just missed a heartbeat maybe two. He actually likes me? Woah. That's hard to believe. I stare at him blankley. Does he really like me, or is just, messing with me? He seems so honest, tho.

"I knew it. I don't know why I even bothered to bring-"

"Emmet..... I do."

"Really!" He says happily, but looks down again,"It's just that when I asked you last time to be my girlfriend you said no, and when I punched yesterday Alec in the face you checked if he was okay."
