DANIEL

I was walking down the hallways when I heard her speaking. I didnt think my heart would break, I didnt think I'd care so much...But I did. She was leaning agaisnt her locker with Avery right in front of her, as soon as I saw her curly brown hair I grinned. She was talking fast and she looked excited. I wonder what that was all about. I was facing her back as I made my way towards her. Avery was laughing and smiling.

"And then he kissed me goodnight! Oh my gosh Avery, it was amazing!" I froze in place as I heard her words. Her first kiss has already been stolen? Right then and there I thought I had stopped breathing. The whole world right now was silent and I could practically hear my heart breaking. How could I be so stupid! I meantally slapped myself, the clues were there all along. The way she seemed to avoid me sometimes, how she never lets me kiss her ...how she wanted to be friends. The shock of her words hit me so hard I thought I would crash into the lockers. Avery noticed me first when she looked up, her smile faded so fast and automatically Kari turned around really fast that she looked dizzy. I smiled weakly and kept walking until I passed them and I was safely on the other side. I breathed in and crashed into Fiza. She was laughing and looking at the guy behind her who seemed to be frowning. I grabbed her by the arms and steadied her.

"Sorry." I muttered silently. I tried walking past her but her hands stopped me as she turned me around to face her. Curly strands hung loosely on her round face.

"Whats wrong?" she asked frowning. I shook my head and stared at the floor like it held all the answers to my unanswered questions.

"Nothing..." Fiza gave me a knowing look and I gave her my fakest grin. She scowled and slapped my arm. I frowned at her and rubbed my arm.

"Ow what was that for?" I asked. For a girl she sure did hit right.

"For lying to me!" she took hold of my arm and dragged me out of the school. Kids gave us strange looks and I felt a bit scared. Once we reached the parking lot she took me into her car and litterly shoved me in. I scraped my elbow but stayed quiet while she got in and drove away. Ten minutes later we were pulling into her long driveway.

"Get out" she said and I obliged, slowly I began to climb the steps after her. She stomped her way into the house and I followed her into a long huge room. It was a Victorian era looking room with long red plush couches and brown fancy carpets. I sat down gingerly, Fiza took a glass of water from the small glass pitcher and sat oposite of me. Her long legs crossing over one another as she sat back.

"Now tell me what happened?"

I gulped and closed my eyes shut. I was silently beggging because If anyone knew Fiza it would be me, Once I told her about Kari she would be relentless and I knew it. Fiza will try anything and I mean anything to try and fix ny problem. It was either now or never.

"Well...Its Kari..." I opened my eyes slowly to watch her reaction.

I should have kept my eyes closed.

Her look was murderous, red coloring flushed her cheeks and a very big crease was forming on her forehead. With her hand clutching the sides of the couch she took a deep breath.

"What did she do this time?" she said with a calmness I knew didnt match her face expression.

"She didnt do anything Fiza, I think I'm the one with the problem" slowly I reclined back and focused my gaze on a statue of an angel holding a baby. Seriously, why did Fiza drag me out of school and into her house to talk about my feelings? Something was seriously wrong with her.

"Something is always wrong with you, but what does that have to do with her?" she said the her part with a sense of disgust. I turned my head away to glare at her. She was biting her nails and looking around the room.

A look of concentration lined her face.

"I think I like her..." there I finally said it. I breathe out in relief only to hear a gasp come out. Except not from me.

Fiza looked horrified and I wanted to slap her, she was so overdramatic. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and just gave her a blank look.

"Her? Why her? Seriously Daniel you could do better!" she exclaimed in a loud manner. Standing up she paced back and forth in front of me.

"You wouldnt understand Fiza..." I hung my head and stared at the tiny pattern on the carpet. They looked like circles and swirls blending together to make a jumbled mess.

"Try me?" hands on her hips she stopped walking and stared straigh at me. I took a deep breath and told her how she made me feel.

"Kari is different, theirs a certain charm about her and the way shes so klutzy makes me crazy. Her laugh oh and her long brown hair that always seems to make my hands want to touch it. I love the way she smiles and how she gets hyper of off candy. How she's so stubborn when it comes to me." Fiza puts a hand up to stop me and I freeze. Her eyes hold an emotion I cant comprehend.

"Enough said, you do like her, but whats the problem in this?" she takes a seat again and watches me with dark brooding eyes.

"She likes someone else." I whisper. My words hang in the air for a moment and Im taken back from how akward the room feels. Finally Fiza breaks the uncomfortable silence.

"How do you know?" she asks curiously now.

"I heard her talking about it with Avery in the hallways when I bumped into you in the hallways." Fiza nodded in understandment. She knew their had to be a reason to make me that upset, I was like a book when it came to her.

"Well I think she likes you." she said suddenly, I felt shock at her words.

"How do you know?" now I was leaning on my kneews with my elbows propped up. She swung her leg back and forth and I watched dazed for a moment.

"Because I see the way she looks at you Dan any girl can see it"

"I think..." she trailed off and I turned away from her legs to watch her face grow thoughtful.

"You think what?"

"I think you and me should pretend date, and I'm sure Kari will realize how stubborn shes being and just tell you her feelings..." I looked uncertained at her. Their was a tightness in my stomach and I felt nouseous.

"I dont know..." trailing off I realized Kari wouldnt do anything, she still only wanted to be friends, their would be no reason for her to be mad.

"Come on Daniel you know you want to?" she said teasingly.

"What about all those guys? Wont they miss you Miss Player?" I said grinning, fiza rolled her eyes and stood up.

"I can take a break for a little bit, besides you need my help." taking my arm she led me back outside.

"Come on lets head back!" she yelled and ran to her car, grinning I ran after her.
