"Gilla! Gills! Where are you?"
I hid behind the old barn in the back of the woods waiting for my best friend Darby to find me. Darby searched long and hard, until she became frustrated and went home. I sighed and came out from my hiding place.
Darby always got frustrated when she didn't get her way. Like the time the girls made cupcakes for her 5th birthday party. Darby had wanted chocolate flavored cupcakes, even though I hate chocolate. When I told Darby that, she called me crazy and made the cupcakes anyway. When her mother gave me the spoon to lick, Darby through a fit. So, I handed her the spoon. I didn't noticed she had it in her mouth, and I jabbed the spoon towards her. She cried and said I made her throat break. I felt so bad about it that I went home and sat in the wheelbarrow of my garage like I always have.
It's always been this way.
Now, you may be wondering why I put up with Darby. I'm terrible at making friends, and so is she. We just kind of clicked, ya know?
Now, we're both 17 years old. Actually, Darby is 18.
She's also in love.
Now, you may be wondering why I said that. But it's because when we were little girls, we used to play princesses.
Except I was always the prince.
So, one day after we played it, we sat in the swing in my backyard, and Darby said "When we're 18 years old, let's be in love." I rolled my eyes. But Darby was serious. "I bet you won't fall in love by that time." So I accepted the bet.
Now, it's a week until my birthday, and I'm not in love.
