And then the week has passed, and it's Saturday. I'm in the Starbucks with Alex and Mai, and they're both trying to convince me to try the Unicorn Frappe
"Look at all that crap in it though!" I protest
"Oh please you're so skinny it won't hurt to drink one!" Mai cries.
"Yeah you barely have a shadow," Alex chuckles.
"Fine. One drink."
We order, then the three of us take our unicorn frappe-chinos and sit down. Alex has a normal sized drink, and I have a small, while Mai has the biggest size available.
"What?" She laughs when we stare at it.
"Nothing!" Alex laughs
"Just... are you really going to drink all that?" I laugh disbelief.
"Yes I am very much...Problem?"
"No offense, but can you even drink all that?" Alex asks
"Watch me," she says, smirking
An hour later Alex and I look in disbelief at her empty drink.
"Jeez Mai!"
"Told you," she laughs
We chat a little, and are telling Alex a story from our camp days involving a corn field and a game of truth or dare, when he stiffens as the door opens. In walks a group of other kids from our school. Three girls, two guys. He blushes, and Mai and I laugh.
"Got your eye on someone, Alex?"
"No," he laughs, blushing.
"Uh-huh," I roll my eyes.
"So who is it?" Mai inquires.
"Who do you like?"
"Huh?"
"Who do you like, Mai?"
"Um, nobody..."
"Then I don't like anyone either."
A look of understanding goes between them and they glare at each other.
"Either of you going to tell me what that was all about?"
"No," they mumble.
Later that night, Mai has gone home and Alex and I are hanging out in my room.
"So, who DO you fancy?" I ask
"Fancy? You've been reading too many Harry Potter fanfics."
"Oh shut up."
"Who do you fancy" I repeat
"No one."
"You're blushing."
"No."
"Yea."
"Fine. I'll give you a hint. Their name begins with S."
I think over who was in the coffee shop. Three girls, Abby, Sami, and Samantha. Along with their friends Spencer and Ben.
"So is it Sami or Samantha?"
"UM..."
"ALEX."
Silence
"OH my lOrD. It's both of them?"
"How stupid are you?"
"Very, I thought you knew that."
"Do you promise not to hate me?"
"What?"
"Promise?"
"Yeah, but-"
"It's Spencer."
I burst into laughter and he looks confused
"Thats all? I thought you were going to tell me you murdered someone!"
"Well excuse me I've never told anyone!"
"Oh. Sorry. But it's really no big deal. We should tell Mai."
"She kinda already knows..."
"WHAT?!"
"That, Adelaide, is a story for another day."
