“Hey.”
“Hollaz”
“Um,” I hesitated, “I’ve got a problem, I was hoping maybe you could help me?”
“Ya sure..” she smiled, “speak your heart out.”
“Heh, thanks.”
“No problem.”
“Um.. I kinda like Sally.. but I don’t know her at all. I was planning on getting to know her more and maybe.. ya. But there’s someone else.. I don’t know what it is about her, but I like her so much.”
“Can I know the name of this someone else? It’s a simple yes or no question. If not, then were going to nickname her.”
“I really shouldn’t tell you..” I paused “Lets just call her 6.”
“Ok.. now, you like 6 more than Sally? Or the other way around.”
“6 more, a lot more.. I dont know Sally.”
“Ok.. and how do you like Sally if you dont know her?” she waited for a response, “You think she’s cute.”
Silence. “Yes”
“So you don’t like her.. you think she’s cute?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know 6?”
“Yes.” I noticed I was being very repetitive. “Sure I do,” I added, just for a mix.
“Have you known her for a long time?” she didn’t seem to impressed.
“Just this year.”
“I see..” pause, “Now what are expecting to get out of this convo?”
I paused for a minute to soak that in, I liked her.. I did. She was 6 unknown to her, “I really don’t know.”
“Well..” another pause. I noticed them happening more frequently now. I didn’t know if that was good or bad.. or both. ”How are you planning on getting to know Sally?”
“I guess I don’t have a plan.”
“Do you really want to know her better? Or would you rather try and stick with 6?”
“I'm not planning on getting to know Sally.. this sounds stupid. It’s like I’m choosing.” The truth was, it wasn’t that hard of a choice.
“Ya I know.” Pause “But.. if you like 2 girls you can only get one so what I’m saying is if you wanna get to know Sally you’d better do it and see if you actually like her, because right now you think she’s cute.. on the other hand.. you know and like 6.. are you friends with 6?”
“Yes,” I rethought that. “Well, I think.”
“Can I know who she is??” she was bouncey. I couldn’t resist her eyes. ”Please? I wont tell anyone.”
“..I,” I started, there was a long pause, “No.”
“Do I know her?”
“Yes.” A very long pause went by. I made a facial expression that suggested impatience.
“Ok.. is she in 4th?”
“Huh?”
“Period, 4th period.”
“Oh,” I stopped. “Where are you going with this?”
“Um.. I want to know who it is.”
“I can’t tell you that..” I stated regretfully.
“Why?! I wont tell anyone! I promise”
“I know you wont, but it’s not as simple as that.”
“Ok. How many letters in the name?”
A pathetic look took the place of my dull, barren face, then receded.
“Is she in 4th hour?”
This time a frown swept in and left.
“Yes! Tell me! Brandon!”
“Gilli..”
“Now tell! Name 3 girls ok and I will—“
“Gilli,” I cut her off. “Forget it..” I started to walk away, when I felt her arm on my shoulder, pulling me back and turning me around.
“Speak now.” She said firmly.
“Gilli..” there was one of the longest silences yet. I struggled and pushed myself forward to say it, but as soon as I did, I regretted it: “I like you.”
“I knew it! Ha Ha! I knew it!!”
My face shifted, my mouth slanted. “I don’t see the humor.”
“Don’t be sad! You let your feelings out!”
“Ya, and what did that get me? Nothing?”
“Um..”
“Ya..”
There was a long pause, in which time I regretted the entire conversation, but not as much as I would regret the next 3 words that came out of my mouth: “Ugh, goodbye Gillian..” I started to turn and walk away.
“Oh my god. You asshole!” I could have sworn I heard tears, but I didn’t turn around to look..
“Hollaz”
“Um,” I hesitated, “I’ve got a problem, I was hoping maybe you could help me?”
“Ya sure..” she smiled, “speak your heart out.”

“6 more, a lot more.. I dont know Sally.”
“Ok.. and how do you like Sally if you dont know her?” she waited for a response, “You think she’s cute.”
Silence. “Yes”
“So you don’t like her.. you think she’s cute?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know 6?”
“Yes.” I noticed I was being very repetitive. “Sure I do,” I added, just for a mix.
“Have you known her for a long time?” she didn’t seem to impressed.
