It Was A Lie When They Smiled And Said You Won't Feel A Thing

Chapter 4: What Were Mikey and Frank Really Talkin

During the break I walked downstairs with Mikey. I told him I needed to talk to him, it was urgent.
"whats up?" he said. "You know I really like Kristen right?"
"Yea. Why?"
Mikey was always good with romances
"I really like her and , I think I want to ask her out."
"Yea....ok....go for it dude"
"But do you think shes going to say yes? I mean I don't want to be heart broken, again"
"I don't know man. I don't want to get your hopes up if its not right. I mean I don't want you to fall harder.........What do you mean again?"
"I never told you? when I was little I asked Kristen to come with me and hang out with me in the corner of the school yard during recess. Just me and her, but she said she didn't want to. She said she didn't like me like that. But I think she changed because shes older. I mean that was in second grade"
"Oh. yea dude but that was a while ago. How did she know you liked her?"
"I don't know"
"Oh. well I don't know if she likes you but I know she really likes you as a friend. I mean I know you guys are really close."
"Oh yea well....yea I guess thats really true.
Damn dude I really love her.
I......really, really want to be with her,
I want her to love me
more than a friend,
more than the world
like I love her."
"Wow dude you really want to be with her don't you?
Well I know you really love her.
I have a good feeling."
"Cool. So who do you like out of the group?"
"Oh....no one"
Mikey had that sly look on his face. He was scaring me.
"Yes.....you like someone....who is it.....TELL ME!!!!!" I whimpered, I always annoyed him when I did that.
"Fine......I like.......I like Gerard!"
"thats not fair hes your brother!"
"You asked who I liked....and I like my brother!"
As I laughed at this, I took a pillow and threw it at him
"No ...no frank I don't want to go to the emergency room.....AGAIN!"
"Alright......but seriously...you think she likes me as a great friend?"
"Yea......dude she is in love with you......"
"YAY!"
"... as a friend"
"Oh..."
Bob called us back up because we were starting the movie again.
"Wish me luck !" I said as I ran upstairs.
