   Today would be a special day. Today the boys promised to tell me everything that had happened when I had gone to...
   Dustin and Lucas burst in with a grand entrance, Mike shuffling his feet and following behind. He looked up and brushed strands of hair out of his eyes. He has little bags of purple under his eyes and had a small shake to him.
   "Are you ready?!" Lucas yelled.
   "LETS GOOOOO!" Dustin yelled back, as if this story is good news.
   We all huddled in my room, me sitting on the bed with them on the floor. "So..." I started off, with a small clap of my hands.

   Originally, it was awkward for Mike. I could see it. He finally loosened up a little and began sharing things, like how he was going to, 'leave the country!' I tensed up and cried out, "Don't do that!" As if I was caught up in a book I really liked and had a sudden outburst. Dustin chuckled before saying, "Obviously he didn't, he's right here!" Lucas laughed at this.
   Besides that it went smooth. I, oddly enough, didn't find it too hard to believe everything they said, with the exception of some exaggerated parts here and there.
   They finished it off with, "And Mike had romance with El!"
   A weird feeling churned inside my stomach. Mike broke our gaze and blushed, and faked a giggle.
   It pained me, for some odd reason, for Mike to have been so happy while I was so miserable. That didn't sound right. That made me sound selfish. I only cared about Mike's reaction and risk... so maybe...
   It can't be jealousy. This girl was gone, to who knows where.
   Well I do.
   Anyways...

   After eating a few snacks and sending Dustin home with two more cups of chocolate pudding, Mike sat on my couch.
   "So... El huh?" I asked, breaking an awkward silence.
   "I don't know. It was a couple months ago, she didn't know what feelings felt like or what they even were. I felt as if- as if I was destined to help her, not kiss her," He responded softly.
   The sharp pain returned. Jealousy? Seriously?
   "Wait... You KISSED her?!"
   Nervously, he said, "Um.. yeah..."
   "Before me?!" I cried.
   "Before you got to kiss me?" He said, suprised .
   To myself I thought, 'Duh!!!' but I knew I couldn't say that.
   "No, that you got your first kiss before me!"
   He faked an obvious laugh and talked about the night they kissed.
   I felt a pain in my stomach again... This time harder and sharper than the others.
   Not jealousy, although I felt that too.
   Could it be?
   No... It's been months...
