I hop out of Cole's car, and glance over at the school. Groups mingle and talk, work on homework, or talk about their next game practice. Suddenly, Camryn, one of my other friends, comes racing toward me. She wraps me in her arm and squeezes me tight. "Bree!" She exclaims , exhausted. " I have to tell you something!" Oh no, she has to tell me something? This cant be good. It's never good when she tells me something.

She pulls me next to the janitors closet. " put your ear on the door" she whispers. I put my ear on the door and listen in. "I really hate bubaflee" I hear a voice say. "Did they just say bubaflee?" I asked camryn. She shrugs and returns her ear to the door. I do too. "Yeah, I get you have a deep hatred for bubaflee, but you guys are best friends!" I hear another voice say. Suddenly, the door opens and we hide behind it, barely breathing. The two walk out. It's Max and....COLE?! I start to hyperventilate as questions fill my mind. Camryn shush's me as we creep away. " Cole and I are best friends, and max doesn't have a best friend, so that means....." I go dead silent. " Bree, you ok there?" Camryn comforts. " can you excuse me for one second?" I say under my breath. " Yeah" camryn says. I run into the janitors closet and slam the door. I whisper to myself " maybe bubaflee is a code name, and if you replace bubaflee with my name...COLE HATES ME!" Then I begin to cry. That was the worst school day ever. I ask camryn to take me home. I text cole: DON'T bother picking me up, oh yeah and I'm deleting your contact! I slam my phone and the ground and sit in silence.

Camryn drops me off and I run upstairs and flop on my bed when I hear the home phone ring. I run dowstairs and answer it. " Hey Bree, it's Cole, I'm coming over" Cole says worryingly." NO you've done quite enough!" I scream at him and slam the phone against the wall. 30 minutes later I hear a knock on the door.   "what now " I murmur. I open the door and Cole is standing there , with a bouquet of flowers clenched in his hand. " May I come in?" He asks me, his face full of hope. I let him in and he places the flowers in a vase, and waters them. He takes my hand and we sit on the couch. "I just wanted to say something. I have thought this for a long time a-" I cut him off. "I already know! You hate me! I overheard you and Max in the janitors closet! I knew bubaflee was a secret name for something! I knew you were talking about me!" I scream at him, before walking out of the room. " Wait!" Cole yells. He stops me before I can walk away. He pulls me in front of him and sits me down " your right, you are bubaflee, but hate means the opposite" I think in my head, whats the opposite of hate? Like! " I know you like me, we're friends" I say, very confused. "No" Cole says "I like you as in..." Cole gulps nervously " I have a crush on you" he says blushing. My life just came to a complete stop. HE LIKES ME? " I like you too... I have liked you since kindergarten". Cole pulls me closer and wraps his arms around me in a tight embrace. Our lips collide and I am finally at peace. After Cole leaves I collapse on my bed and sigh. When I get up in the morning I get dressed and eat breakfast, happily knowing I am the crush of the most popular boy in school.
