Katie _76: Do you want the long or short version? 

OtisWilliams_65: Short. 

Katie_76: I'm lactose intolerant. 

OtisWilliams_65: So Dr.O asked Ms. O to ask Oksana to create a special food department that is dairy free just for you?!

OlympiaWilliams_365: How did you get all that from 'I'm lactose intolerant?' 

OtisWilliams_65: Like I said, I have my ways. Can we now put the phones down  and talk like normal people? 😯😢

They put their phones down and began talking.

 "You guys, I just thought of something!" O'Katie exclaimed. 

"What is it, Kat?" Otis asked, unaware of the nickname he gave O'Katie.

"Oh, so now you're giving her a pet name, Otis?" Olympia asked, with a smirk.

"No, I mean yes, I mean. ..," Otis stuttered.

"Guys!" O'Katie yelled to gain their attention once more.  

"What's the problem?" 

"What if Ohlm tells everyone about my allergy, and word gets out to Tòmas?! He'll definitely not want to be with me now!" The girl panicked.

"Who's Tòmas?" Olympia asked. 

"Oh, he's my ex- friend. He, one day, came and sang Skip to my loo, that old rhyme sung when jumping rope. But the last verse was a message." 

🎶Skip, skip, Skip to my loo, skip, skip, skip to my loo, skip to my loo my darling!

Fly in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo, fly in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo, skip to my loo my darling! 

Lost my partner, what will I do, lost my partner, what will I do? Skip to my loo my darling! 

I'll find one prettier than you, I'll find one prettier than you, I'll find one prettier than you, Skip to my loo my darling! 🎶

O'Katie sang the song.

"So he left you? Man, that's sad." Otis said.

"So, what if he comes back and says, "Hey,I was going to come back but now that I hear you're lactose intolerant, I'm leaving you forever"?" O'Katie asked.

"No boy would say that, besides,"Olympia dropped her voice to a whisper, "You know Otis has a crush on you and you on him."

"You're right. Olympia, Otis, want to go out for la glas?" O'Katie asked.

"La glas?" Otis questioned.

"You know, ice cream! I know a little French." 

"Otis will be happy to go, right, Otis?" Olympia asked, wiggling her eyebrows. 

"Uh, sure, right!" He muttered. 

*Otis*

That Olympia! My sister sure knows how to get me with girls. Not that I don't want to but I'm not ready! At least, I don't think so.

"So, um, what's your favorite thing to do?" I asked O'Katie as I took a bite of my sundae.

"Oh! I love to read, and draw! How about you, or would you rather keep that to yourself?" She shared. 

"Yeah, I don't like talking about myself, you know?" I said.

"Totally.  So I was thinking, you know how we both have a crush on each other. ..," O'Katie trailed off. THis girl is going to to be the death of me. I'm going to ask her now.

"O'Katie, do you want to be my girlfriend?" I asked. 

"Oh my Gosh, Yes!" She screamed.

"Then it's settled, we should tell Ms O." I said with a small smile.

"Yes, and Olympia!" 

So that wasn't so hard, I guess. I just needed to be in the right spot at the right time. I guess ice cream helps to ask people out.
