Short Story

A Very Much Not That Bad At All Problem:

"You know what!" Alison says cheerfully.

"What?" Nathan questions back at her.

"Summer camp was really fun but..." she trails off.

"But what?" Nathan questions again playing with a strand of Alison's hair.

"I have a very much not that bad at all, problem." Alison says in a hurry hoping she's making the right choice to tell Nathan this.

"Yea? Well what's your very much not that bad and all, problem?" Nathan asks mocking Alison in a joking way as he speaks.

Huffing, Alison turns to Nathan. "I've fallen in love."

"With?" Nathan asks with a downcast face, having a hunch it isn't him.

"This guy, he's really kind and a lot of fun to be around, he always understands me and I always blabber to him about everything. He's cool and a good friend, but I want to be more than friends." Alison says ranting on about her "friend", much to Nathan's dismay.

"Well what's his name maybe I can help you out in getting him to like you back." Nathan says.

"Well I'd hope so!" Alison laughs Nathan looks at her strange. Did she honestly think he was only there to help her all the time.

"Well I would hope so, because I've fallen in love with you, Nathan." Alison says looking straight into Nathan's eyes.

"Then I have great news. I've fallen for you as well." Nathan reply's. They both lean in, the moment seems so perfect. Like they were meant to be in it.

"Nathan!" Alison Mom screams up the stairs startling the pair, who were at the time still leaning in lost in each other's eyes. "Your mother's here to pick you up!"

"Coming!" Nathan yells back. He quickly pecks Alison on the lips "This," he says point back and forth between them. "Will be continued another time."

Alison smiles at him and shakes her head. He was always the stupidest person she ever knew, but that wasn't  really a bad thing in her mind.

"Goodbye, Nathaniel." Alison says in a sassy tone.

"Goodbye Alison Grace." Nathan replies.
