CHIRP CHIRP! The birds were flying all around Taiwan's lovely flower. "It's such a beautiful day out." Taiwan said to herself. Hong Kong was walking by. She looked at him. "Hi Hong Kong!" Taiwan called to him. Once he heard that, he hid in the bushes. "That was weird." Taiwan thought to herself. "That was a close one. She almost saw me." Hong Kong whispered. "Were did he go?" Taiwan asked. "Hong Kong!" she called again. Once Hong Kong saw the coast was clear, he made a run for China's house. "Hi China. I'm home." Hong Kong said out of breath. "Hello Hong Kong. Why are you late? Did school release you late again? I'm kind of busy. Go do your homework or something." China called. "No. I ran into Taiw- someone. She's a girl. You don't know her. And It's okay. I'm a teenager. I'll be fine if I'm a few minute late." Hong Kong screamed. He went to his room. "Why did I chicken out again? I need to tell her how I feel about her. I need to tell her I like her ever since we were in 1st grade together." Hong Kong thought to himself.
