"You know I have feelings for you, I understand if you don't feel the same way. Just please don't leave me if you happen to remember this."
"Jee, what happened to Katherine?" Jeremy gripped the stirring wheel while looking at the rear-view mirror, revealing the two red hoodie wearing teenagers. "Poor soul woke up 4am and couldn't sleep, well she is now. And so is my arm" Michael shifted lightly, afraid to wake the sleeping girl leaning on his shoulder. After school, the squip squad decided to stop by pinkberry and hang for a bit. The others talked while the three noticed that Katherine who had hidden her head down behind her arms, wasn't getting up from her position for awhile so they had to shake her awake and drag her to the car.
"I can't let her head rest on the window. With Jeremy's reckless driving, she might bump her head on it" Jeremy glared at his friend through the mirror "Excuse me, I'm here sacrificing while you're here trying to make a move" "Michael." Christine said in a warning tone as she turned to raise her eyebrows at him "I'm not gonna do anything! Who do you think I am?" Michael silently yelled with hurt laced in his voice, offended at their accusations. He glanced at Kathy who stirred a bit which made him awkwardly pat her right arm with his left hand.
"You're right, you're right. We're sorry" Jeremy sighed and looked at the two again "But you do like her though, don't you?" The lanky boy asked, resulting Michael to cough. "I-" He hesitated "I just met her, I'm pretty sure like isn't the right word" Michael stared at the sleeping girl on his shoulder. "Says the one who almost kissed her on the second day of knowing her" Jeremy spilled as Christine quickly turned around "You almoth kithed her?" Christine felt her eyes widen as she softly bit down on the small plastic spoon with frozen yogurt in her mouth. "We were caught in the moment! We danced around in the store and- and then she was suddenly...there" Michael's free hand was flailing as he emphasized the last word.
"So what is it then? Crush? Infatuation? Lust?" Christine wiggled her eyebrows before giggling at the boy's glare on her, turning back on her seat "Anything, literally anything other than lust. I'm not a creep" "Didn't you take her around town instead of the campus like you were supposed to?" "If she heard all this, I'm not only gonna kill you in game" "This means war, Mell" "Bring it on, Heere".

"Zombie! Gah! WaH! ugh" The sound of a plastic bottle being thrown on the ground downstairs which was heard in the kitchen. I had just gotten back from the bathroom when I bumped into Christine which resulted to us chatting. Her talking about her past relationships while I talk about what I told Michael earlier.
"You and Jake? Really?" I leaned forward on the kitchen island, my second slushie of the day in my hand "Yeah...it didn't really work out," Christine mumbled under her breath, leaning on the side of the island "But I'm glad! Coz now, I'm with Jeremy" She sighed dreamily as she rests her chin on one hand while the other stirs the plastic spoon in the empty pinkberry cup.
I roll my eyes, chuckling. I turn around and rested my elbows on the island as the slushie cup stays in my hand. "How about you? Anyone catch your eye yet?" My head turns to see that she was wriggling her eyebrows. I let out a laugh, my lips coming in contact with the cold straw and turning back. "Ooooooh someone haaaaas," Christine tapped her spoon the cup and set it aside "So who is it?" I can feel that a smirk has made its way to her lips. "There's really no one. I mean, I haven't really met much guys except the ones with the squip squad and," I shrugged, my eyes staring into nothingness. "That's it" I say, taking a sip out of the slushie as it makes a sound that you know it's about to run out.
"Uh-huh" Christine said unconvinced as I hear a sound behind me. I turn around and see that the small girl managed to hop on the counter with her legs swinging. "But what if," She turns to look down at me, holding up a finger "You already met him but you don't know it yet? What if it's a guy in the group? What if it's...I don't knoooow" She giggled and leaned forward to whisper "One of the boys down there"
