"Hey"

"Why are you calling me"

"Why aren't you calling me?"

"Sigh..."

"Jesus Jeremy you don't have to say the word 'sigh'" I say rolling my eyes. Drama queen.

"Is there a problem?"

"No- yes actually, I've got nobody to go to the museum with me today" I say faking a sad tone.

"Ask someone else"

"Nope."

"No"

"Yes" I respond childishly.

"Ask Everett or something"

"Eh, he's a little mad at me right now. I'm gonna give him a week to cool down. So do you wanna come with me?" I ask pushing out my bottom lip even though he can't see me.

"No"

"Please Jeremy?"

"No"

"Are you mad at me?" I ask confused.

"Only slightly more than usual"

"What did I do?" I ask sitting down in my desk chair.

"Sigh"

"Sunshine, what have I said about saying the word sigh. It's weird." I tell him.

"Fine. I'll go with you. Just stop"

"Really!? Great. I'll see you in half an hour!" I say happily, hanging up the phone before any more complaints can be said.

Half an hour later

"Jerebear!" I say with excitement when I come up to the museum door.

"Um hi" Jeremy says hesitantly.

"Okay, I'm gonna ignore the fact you really hate me right now, but don't think I'm not gonna bring it up later" I say and he doesn't respond.

"Do you hate the museum?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"No" he responds briefly.

"Cool, I might finally be able to make you happy" I say and he sighs.

"Nothing makes me happy" he says and I take a deep breath.

"We are gonna change that today" i say and we make our way through the art section.

"Wow, the art here is so interesting and it just makes so much sense, You know?" I say lying completely to try to sound smarter for Jeremy.

"I don't understand anything about it" he says and I let out a breath of relief.

"Good because I was lying. I don't know what the heck any of that meant." I say putting my hands on my hips.

"Why?" He says and I frown.

"Why what?" I ask confused.

"Why did you pretend to understand?" Jeremy asks and I shrug.

"I dunno. You are smart so I don't want to look dumb in front of you, But if you don't know what's going on then I don't need to either" I explain.

"I don't care if you are smart or an idiot" Jeremy says and I blush.

"Oh...that's the closest thing to a complement you've ever said to me" I say and he looks alarmed.

"I didn't mean to" he says and I laugh.

"Aww...you really are adorable. You know that?" I say and he glares at me.
