Before i knew it, it was lunch time. There where two things i was dreading about this lunch.
1. Flower day. Today is the day whee you look like a complete loner if you get no flowers. And as i said before I'm not the most popular so i don't think i got any flowers.
2. I'm not sure how i feel about this Jack kid. I mean hes pretty good looking if i do say so myself, but he's J's man. (Or she wants him to be.)
While I was debating over how i felt about Jack, i felt someone slip there arm into mine. No see here i grew up in Maryland and have a little bit of a temper. But one thing that bugs the crap out of me is people TOUCHING me with out seeing there face. So i did what any rational person would. I flung my arm out.
I knew who it was before i heard there "Ow!".
"Hey Brian! How's it going?" I said with a smile like i didn't just whack him in the face.
"I would be just peachy if you didn't just whack me in the face." He said rubbing his nose with a grin.
His blue eyes sparkled as he laughed and i relaxed. I have known Brian since elementary school. 6th grade to be exact. You can say i had a little bit of a crush back then. He would chase me and i would chase him. Your average little kid love, EXCEPT we've never went out or anything. I was practically in love with a boy who yanked on my pig tails. Oh the days.
I realised i was smiling into the distance when he brought me back.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeellllll. Earth to Mel!" He said with a grin.
"Oops. What?"
"Nothing. Hey catch you later?"
"Sure." I said it with a dramatic sigh and winked. Then, i turned to play "matchmaker".

10 increasing slow minutes later.
"HEY JACK!" I yelled across the table. Okay so i was a little theatric.
"HEY MEL!" He yelled back.
" Im boored."
"Same." He replied with a grin. J was practicly drooling.
"Wanna play a game?" J gave me a look of daggers i could practically hear her yelling at me. HOW WILL THIS HELP?
"Let's paly the question game..."
*****************************************
That was a month ago. It nealy made me want to strangle J. She sat there everyday not really talking to him but just looking and talking to everyone around him. She would then come to me saying howmy methods aren't working. I'd then point out maybe if she talked to him more he would start to like her.
"What's there to talk about?" She'd complain.
"I dunno.. giraffes?"I would answer back.
Then after all of that she...........
