Chapter Forty Five; Stupid Excuses

Violets. Violets. Violets. Jessica likes Violets.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Will you be my girlfriend?

Because I still really like you.

Puke. I still need to think of a way to let her know that I like her though. It needs to be origional, fun, pretty, and sweet- just like her. I need to do something that you CANNOT say no to. I don't really do well with rejection. I thought back to when she kissed me the other day when we got back from Crappy Camp. She was so gentle and delicate. I thougt of how I had convinced her I liked her and kissed her, how big of a jerk I was. How I was so OBSESSED with Ginnie. I continued walking down the hallway until I heard hushed voices. I crept around the corner and peeked. Nobody was there. Silently, I tip-toes over to the very end of the hall as the hushed voices grew louder. I kept going until I reached the Janitor's Closet, and pressed my ear against the door.

"Does that mean I get to do this?" I heard Tyler whisper.

Ha, the guy's gonna kiss Ginnie in the Janitor's Closet. How un-origional. Well, as his best friend, I cannot and will not let him do something so cliche. I pulled open the door and smirked at the two lovebirds. "What do we have here?" I inquired.

Ginnie stumbled backwards. "Oh, c'mon!" Tyler mumbled and I could hear Ginnie softly giggle.

Well, Ms. Ginnie, I am about to put on one heck of a performance for you. "The janitor's closet. Classy. A bit cliche maybe, but very intimate," I paused, then turned to wink at Tyler, "I like the way you think."

"You can't be serious bro," Tyler complained.

"No, I'm totally serious. It's a great spot. See, once I took Kara in here. I was standing right where Ginnie is actually. And man, let me tell you she was-"

"Shut up I don't want to think about that!" Tyler covered his ears.

Does he not realize that we don't know a Kara?

Ha, loser.

"Fine, fine, suit yourself. Well, it looks like I better get going, I hope the moment isn't ruined," I winked and dashed away, making a point to leave the door wide open.

I went to my locker and checked my schedule for my next class: English, Ms. Bates. I have that class with Jessica! Now, all I need to figure out is how I can get her to like me. Until then, let me just think of a stupid excuse to talk to her.
