         Myrtle and I were sitting at the table for dinner, eating my mom's famous broccoli casserole. I look up at Myrtle as my attention was grabbed by the fast constant typing and occasional giggles coming from Myrtle.
        Myrtle has a lot of work that she has to do since she goes to one of those fancy smart people schools so I bought her a computer when she went into school. She's been bringing her computer to the table here recently because she says she has a bunch of homework but usually people dont giggle at their homework.
        I let out a smirk and she makes eye contact with me and raises an eyebrow. "What is it?" she asks, sliding out an awkward little smile. I lean closer to her. "You have a crush on someone, Don't you, Myrtle?" Her face grows a deep red. "What?! Nonsense!" She's been doing this project with a student in her French class named Vince, where they have to make a movie script in French. He's this skinny boy with the brightest blue eyes and dirty blonde hair that swoops over his forehead. He is an adorable little boy, the perfect boy for girls to swoon over.
       "Vince is just my partner for this one project Dad!" I know I was right because she got defensive. "Mhm.. What all do you know about Vince?" I cross my arms, letting my grin grow bigger as I ask more questions. "Not much! I only know that he really likes piña coladas!... and that his favorite anime is Toradora and Jojo's Bizzare Adventure!... and that he's has a pathetic sense of humor.. He laughed at a picture of a retarded fat bunny-" "Don't use that language." "Sorry.. but for real!! What's so funny about a fat bunny?!" Her head hasn't wrapped around the point of memes yet.
      I take a bite out of my casserole, "Well, that's a lot to know about just some simple project partner.." I tease her, the more you nag her the more you get out of her. "Nuh-uh!! He knows about all of my favorite shows too!! He knows that I enjoy watching We Bare Bears and Craig of the Creek! They have a simple and pure concept that's just perfect to the core and not obscure like fat rabbits and videos of humanoid animals dancing to obnoxious music. He knows that I enjoy listening to classical music and he knows that I like macarons-" "So he knows a lot about you too?" I watch as her face grows more red and she comes to a loss of words.
      "W-Well why does it matter to you?!" she blares at me, I know that my nagging gets to her. "Because it seems like you both like each other and if you two DO click, that'll be your first boyfriend." I look up at her and smile widely. "And that's the guy you will remember for the rest of your love life." Her face eases and she looks surprised but happy, "You think he likes me?" I smile, she doesn't realize that she is giving in.
"Ooh yeah! Does he look you in the eye and try to make you laugh?" "Yeah?"
"And he asks about you so he wants to get to know you, yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Does he seem like he's often at a loss of words around you and seems a bit flustered around you? Rosy cheeks and stuttering voice?"
"Yeah!" she's getting more and more excited as i go on.
      I smile and wait for her to put to points together. She gasps, smiles widely, then takes a deep breath. "I'm done eating." She grabs her plate and throws her excess food away, putting the plate in the sink. She grabs her laptop and dashes to her room. I hear her squeal happily and jump around as I take a bite of my food.
     I have a feeling I'll be hearing more about Vince.
