A Hard Fall ( Josh Hutcherson)

Connor

Allison's POV:
I woke up in Josh's arms. He woke up just seconds after I did. I got up and sat right next to him on the bed. He sat up too with a bright smile on his face and squinting brown eyes that looked tired but happy. His hair was standing up and messy on the side he slept on. The look of his face told me, I liked last night. And if he were to say that out loud I would agree.

We walked down to the kitchen and found our families in there and the living room, and breakfast was at the table. Pancakes and bacon. Yum. We sat next to each other and everyone else sat with us.

"Did you sleep well last night Josh?" My mother asked as she put some fruit salad on her plate across from us.

"Yeah, it was wonderful." He said while looking at me through the corner of his eye so nobody would notice. I think Conor might have seen him though. I awkwardly picked some chocolate-chip pancakes and Josh got some bacon.

"Thats good." What about you Conner?" My mom glanced up from serving herself and looked at him, who had just a second ago was eyeing us suspiciously. He definitely saw Josh look at me like that. Great.

"Oh, yeah." He snapped out of his stare and smiled to my mother. "It was fine"

She returned the smile and started to eat. After about 30 seconds of silence our mothers got into a hour long talk about work and family and boring things. Josh, Connor and I only lasted about 5 minutes of blabber until we all went upstairs.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Once the three of us got up there, Josh went to the bathroom, and I headed for my room, but Connor grabbed my shoulder to stop me.

"What is it?" I ask him.

"Look. I need to talk to you. Lets go in your room."

"Uh, that's where I was headed." The fourteen year-old brought me to my room, and sat on my bed. I stood with my arms crossed and waited for him to talk.

"Ok. I know whats going on with you and josh." He said and sounded like he was stating a fact.

"You don't know anything Connor. It's not like that." Oh, but I want it to be.

"Mmmhhhm." He clearly didn't believe me. So I just gave up.

"Oh my godddd. Ugh, Connor please don't tell earthier of our parents." I really didn't want them knowing. I think it would be a little awkward.

"Fine. But you will owe me biggg time." He said. "Oh, and by the way, you don't have to pretend to be friends. He knows it too. Just do what you wa- well not EVERYTHING you might want..... Uhhhhh yeah." And he started giggling. My face got bright red.

"Shut up!!! Maybe I will pretend!" I said. And started to giggle too. So, according to Connor, Josh likes me! Oh gosh I'm so happy.

Josh's POV:

++++++++++++++++++++++
After breakfast, I went up to go to the bathroom and take a shower. Once I was done, I headed to the door but heard voices and stopped. They were muffled, so I could only make out a few words.

I heard Connor say my name. Why is he talking about me??? Next I hear Allison, "its not like that!" What!!?!? Is she talking about me ? I couldn't hear much, but Connor and Allison seemed to be fighting. I hear the word, pretend. What is going on in there?? First my name, Allison says "its not like that" and to PRETEND. I am starting to get mad.

"...... I will pretend!" I heard Allison and she started to laugh with Connor. wtf? Is she pretending to like me?!? Oh, well two can play at that game.
