ROSS'S POV

we sit outside under a nice tree . " okay so why are we writing a song first " rocky asks. " i am falling hard for holly and she wants to stay friends. we already admitted to liking each other. but we have been ' just friends ' for 3 months now and i can't stay ' just friends ' anymore . i need her . something is telling me we are right for each other but holly won't admit it so i talked to ratliff and he said to write a song for her. " i say all in one breath. " okay got it. do you know what the song should be about?" riker asks. " i don't know . maybe.... maybe about the way i feel about her. or why i like her or something " i say playing with my hands. " thats sound great ! so what do you like about her?" rocky asks. " she's nice , kind , sweet , innocent-" rocky cut me off. " no thats not what i meant. i mean what are your favorite things about her. small things you love. tell us some stories , adventures you had . why does your heart say holly sienna thomas-reed? " oh well ihaven't really thought about that -" " dude ! you can't say you like a girl if you don't know those things " riker interupted . " okay well i guess if i think hard enough i can find something " i tell them. " like hmm lets see.................. OH YEAH! there was this one time back when we were 9. i remember holly calling me on the phone .

FLASHBACK

" ross ! its an emergancy !" holly yelled through the phone. " what ? " i ask. "  all my socks got mismatched in the washing machine . it's so hard to find the matches and put them together. then i have to put them up , ITS SO MUCH WORK YOU HAAAAAVE TO HELP ME ! " holly whined. " holly your lazy " i laugh. " i know its a gift but seriously i can't do this alone !" she chuckles back . " fine i will be over in a sec" i hung up the phone and crawled through my window and into her's. i saw a mess of socka all over the place. half were stripped. some were plain , most where polka dots. " your right this is a lot of work. why don't you just stuff them in a drawer " i tell her. " then how will i find my sock matches " she asked sarcastically. " i don't know why not just wear mismatched socks . its not gonna hurt you " i laugh. she thinks for a minute. " good point thats why your my best friend . i no longer need you .... be gone !" she shoo's me away. i laugh and crawl back to my window .

END OF FLASHBACK "- and from then on she has always worn mismatched socks . everytime i see her wearing her mismatched socks i think back to that day " i end my little story. " wow that interesting . i guess....." rocky trails off. " so you like that she wears mismatched socks " riker laughs. " well yea i guess. it reminds me of how crazy she was when we were little " i nod. riker writes down likes mitchmatched socks on the note pad. basically taking notes of everystory i tell . " okay has anything happened recently you like about her?" rocky asks. " well this morning she couldn't find anything to eat for breakfast so she got a slice of cold pizza. she thinks its strange because we don't eat cold pizza. she's the only one that does on the bus. and i find that attractive because she doesn't know how cute she is when she feels diffrent. i just get a weird feeling inside and i love it it sounds crazy right?" i ask. riker writes stuff down . " no dude. this what we were talking about, the little things that you love. that makes everything perfect . the littlest things matter most " rocky smiles. i look at rikers note pad. he added likes pizza cold. ross finds attractive . " keep going what else" rocky nods. " she likes to swim at night on a full moon. only on a full moon . thats the only time she will go swimming. she also thinks that it makes her strange. but i think it cool because again. she's different then everybody else and i like that" i tell them. riker writes more notes. likes swimming on a full moon at night. ross thinks its cool. " so wait? if you like stuff like that about her why doesn't she say yes when you ask her out. " rocky questions. " she says she wants to start over. and get to know the new us. the people we became . " i sigh. " how does it make you feel?" rocky asks . i start laughing. " your making this sound like therapy " . "  im not trying too. just please answer " he sighs. " well i guess it makes me feel like she thinks im gonna hurt her and leave her . when she says that it sound to me like she's scared that i won't be there for her . riker writes more stuff down .scared ross won't be there. ross swears he wouldn't do that to her. " hey riker can i see that for a sec. " rocky takes the note pad and his guitar. he starts strumming a catchy tune and starts to sing.
