It was... the Little Things

Where art thou protractor?

"Okay spill!" Was all Laurel said as she walked up to me

"Spill what? You have to be specific"

"What's the deal with you and the new kid"

"New kid?"

"Oh don't play dumb you obviously know Olli"

"Oliver!"

"Uhha! I knew it!"

"Okay ya I know him and he knows me"

"And," she pressed

"And that's it"

"Oh come on you guys were totally making goo goo eyes at each other in DT"

"We were not!"

"You were so!"

"Okay! So maybe it's a crush, but that's it"

"Oh I think different"

"Look even if I did really like him, he doesn't"

"Come on he kept trying to hold your hand"

"He was reaching for tools!"

"Ya reaching for tools," she said making finger quotation marks around reaching and tools

"A guy like that won't fall for me"

Okay so I wasn't bad looking. I had nice features, long legs and a reasonably good personality. But even if a few guys had liked me, I wasn't first pick. My brain was a big turnoff, I mean I loved it but not a lot of guys.

"You don't know that! Just tell him about your little crush and see what happens"

"No! I've only known him for a few days and I don't want to push him away"

"Come on what's the worst thing that could happen!"

"A lot. Laurel I know what can happen better than anyone!"

"But that was Sam, this is someone completely different"

"How do you know!? Don't you think that I wish that he was different!? But he probably isn't"

"Laurel you can't base all your decisions on Sam"

"I'm not!"

"You are!"

"Look this is the first good thing that has happened to me for ages and I don't want to blow it!"

"So you do have real feelings for him!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Okay instead of being mad I made big mistake of blushing and smiling at the same time
"Awwwwwww! I'm so happy for you Kais!"

"Yah......it's great to finally move on," move on!? Where the heck did that come from

"I know, it's about time that you finally realized what a douchebag Sam is!"

Okay so I know that I have forgiven her but I just can't shake the feeling off that Laurels suddenly being two faced. It's probably nothing.

"Yah Sam's the furthest thing from my mind at the moment," what the heck was I saying! I was blatantly lying to her and she was buying it.

Yah I did have feelings for Oliver, after Sam I had pretty much given up on the idea of ever feeling the same way about someone else. Maybe this was the someone I was looking for. Maybe.

"So when do you want me to set it up?"

"Huh?"

"The two of you duh!"
