Chapter 1: The Crush.
You see Gosalyn and Honker walking home from a basketball game. Gosalyns bouncing a basketball game.
"Man that was a great game!" Gosalyn said while bouncing the ball.
"Yeah I know. You really killed them Gos!" He steals the ball from her. And replays the move that she did. "That was so so cool! There was 10 secs left on the clock. And the other team had the ball. But you were like I don't think so! So you took it. And you faked right, then left. You shot and scored with one sec on the clock! That was just amazing!" Honker said. She takes the ball back from him. "Thanks Honkman! That was great wasn't?" She chuckled. Honker laughed. "Yeah it was! I wish that I could play that good" Honker stopped and looked down at the ground. Gosalyn stopped bouncing her ball and looked at him. "Honk you're not that bad. You know all you have to do is keep practing. Who knows you might be able to beat me one day. But I doubt that much." She said while bouncing her ball again. "Gee thanks Gos. But just look at me. I mean really look at me. I'm not good at anything. I'm a nerd!" Gosalyn couldn't stand it when he talked like that. "Honker T. Meddlefoot! You stop that talk right now. You hear me? You are my best friend! You're the champ at a lot of stuff! You are one of the smartest people I know! So come on lets go back to my house and order a pizza, hear my dad talk about his day again." She rolled her eyes. Honker laughed. "Okay but no anchovies this time okay?" She laughed. "Hey how was I supposed to know that my dad was going to dare me to eat that? That was just nasty stuff! The thought about that just makes me shiver!" She just shivered at the thought about that again.
They get to her house. "Are you sure that your dad wouldn't mind me coming over this late at night?" Honker asked. And adjusting his glasses. "Nah! He wouldn't mind. He's probably too tired to care!" They walk in and she slammed the door. "Daaadd! I'm home!" She yells out. From the other room. "I know. I heard you slamming the door! And what did I tell you about doing that anyways?" Drake scolded her. "Sorry dad. But all serious though. Order a pizza will you? I'm hungry. And this time no anchovies!" As she though her gym bag on the floor. Just then a look came over her face. She just told her dad what to do! She was just waiting for his response. "What was that young lady?" He picked up her gym bag. "Uh I mean that is will you please order us a pizza?" She gave him the old puppy dog eyes and he was putty. "Well I guess I can." His face turned soften up. "Thanks dad you're the best!" She gave him a hug. "Come on Honk lets see what's on the tube!" Her and Honker went and sat on the couch. Drake picked up the phone and called the pizza place. "I would like a large pizza with pepperoni and sausage and peppers. For delivery. The names Drake Mallard at 620 pond drive". "No anchovies this time!" Gosalyn yelled from the other room. "Don't worry. I didn't order it with anchovies this time." He yelled back. "Good. Cause if you did. You would be wearing it!" Gos joked with him. "Oooh is that a promise or a threat?" He yelled back. "Oh it's a promise you can count on that!" Drake rolled his eyes and went back to where everybody was. "Gos I am so proud of you today!" She just looked at him. "Aren't you always proud of me dad?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh wait. Don't answer that." She chuckled. "What are you talking about Gos? Of course I'm always proud of you. I might not agree with everything that you do. Such as when you thought that it was "cool" to sneak out to see that movie that I didn't want you to see in the first place. But I've always been proud of you!" He said. "Aww thanks dad!" She goes up to him and hugs him. Then the doorbell rings. "Oh I'll get it guys. It's probably the pizza dude!" She grabs the money and runs to the door. And when she opened the door there was standing a cute guy. With blonde hair and everything. Just perfect. She couldn't talk. Which was a first for her. Usually her mouth runs a hundred miles an hour. "Hi. Here's you're pizza with pepperoni and sausage and green peppers. That will be 8.50." The guy said. Gos hands him the money. "Thanks. Have a great night!" He turns around and walks back to his car.
Gos is just standing there with the pizza. And Drake comes walking in. "Well are you just going to stand there. Holding the pizza or are we going to eat?" She snaps out of it. "Huh oh yeah sorry about that."
She walks in the living room. Everybody is eating and talking except for Gos. She's too busy thinking about the pizza guy. "So Gos Honker told me that you really killed them today!" Drake said. There was no answer. "Hello? Earth to Gosalyn come in Gosalyn!" Her dad teased. She finally snaps out of it. "Huh? What?" Drake put his plate down. "Okay Gos what is it?" He asked her. She stopped eating for a second. "What?" She asked him. Drake knew that something was on her mind. "Gos you hardly touched your food or talked. And that's not like you. You haven't talked or anything since. Oh I know what's going on now!" He snapped his fingers. She just looked at him dumbfound. "What are you talking about Dad? There isn't anything going on." She said while eating her pizza. "Gos Gos Gos it's perfectly normal for a girl you're age." He gave her an aww kind of a look. "Dad I don't know what you're talking about. But would you please stop! You're freaking me out now!" She went over and got another slice of pizza. Drake rolled his eyes. "Sweetie it's normal for you to have a crush on somebody." She almost choked on her pop. "Um excesses me did I just hear what I think you said?" She gave him the evil eye. Drake was so happy. "Oh this is so sweet! My little girl has a crush on the pizza guy!" Gos got real angry with him and threw a pillow at him. "Are you crazy? I don't have a crush!" She yelled at him. "Sure you don't honey." He joked.
Later that night Honker was leaving. "Honk I'm so sorry you had to be here for that." She shook her head. Honker just laughed. "Oh it's okay Gosalyn." He walked out the door. She closed the door. And went back to her dad. "Not one word. Not one single word! You got me!" She said to her dad. While walking up the stairs. "Oh of course not Gosalyn. You better get you're beauty rest for you're lover!" He joked. "I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that dad!" She said as she turned the corner to her room.
It's the next day and Gosalyn is walking home from her soccer game. She walks in and sees the pizza guy. "Ahh!" She runs to her dad in the kitchen. "Dad! What is he doing here? What did you do?" She asked him. "Hey don't look at me. He just came over not to long ago looking for you!" Gos raised an eyebrow at him. "Yeah right dad! Why would a total babe like him? Want to come all over here to see somebody like me?" She automatically covered her mouth. "Aha! So it finally comes out. I thought that you didn't like him Gos?" Gos yelled at him. "I don't for you're information!" Drake just looked at her. "Then why did you call him a "total babe" then?" He asked. She knew that she couldn't talk her way out of this one. "Okay you win. I confess. I think that he's cutest thing on two legs. There are you happy now?" She sighed. "Very. Now go out there and talk to him!" He pushes her out. "Dad don't! I don't know.." He pushed her in the living room. "Uh hi" She said shyly. "Hi." He said with a smile. She sat down on the couch. "My names Alex." He said. "The names Gosalyn." They shook hands. "Gosalyn that's a real pretty name." Alex said. She laughed. "Thanks." Alex looked around and saw a lot of sports pictures of her. "I see that you're a big sports fan." Gosalyn got up next to him. "Yeah I've always been into sports." She couldn't stop looking at his eyes. They just made her melt! "That's so cool. I love a girl who's not afraid to get a little dirty." He gave her a sly smile. Gos thinking to herself: Man he has the most cutest smile ever!
Drake is watching from the kitchen. "So far so good!" The phone rings. "Hello? Who? Sorry wrong number!" He hangs up. Back with Gosalyn and Alex. "Well I better be going now." Alex said. "Oh okay" Gosalyn said. "Well it was nice hanging out with you" Alex said while putting on his coat. "Yeah it was. We should do it again some time." She said. "How about next weekend?" Alex asked. "I'd like that" Gos said. "Me too!" Alex said. And with that he leaned over and kissed her. After 15 secs he stopped and walked out the door. Gosalyn was just standing there dumbfounded again. "Wow." That's all she could say for about 10 secs. Then it just hit her. "Ahh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" She jumped up and down. Drake comes running out of the kitchen. "What's wrong?" Gos calmed down and got her cool back. "Ahem. Nothings wrong dad. In fact things couldn't be better." She giggled. And hummed all the way to her room. Drake just shrugged and went back to the living room.
