Amy stretched and yawned, leaning back on her desk chair. She was another ten chapters ahead in math and that was what should keep her up to date for the week ahead. She smiled, rather proud of herself as she looked out of her bedroom window.
It was raining outside, beautiful weather. The clouds where covering the sun ever so slightly, so the sky had a grayish kind of look to it. It looked more tranquil to her this way, more expressive.
But something was wrong. She felt a slight pang in her heart as the rain continued to splatter against her bedroom window. What was wrong with her? It was some sort of pain but at the same time it wasn't. She shook her head ignoring it.
"I'm just being silly now" she told herself. This was her way of convincing herself that everything was alright and that it was all just in her head, as her mother had told her time and time again.
She sat back in her chair, relaxing. Enjoying the soft sounds of the water against her bedroom window and the sounds of the soft music that drifted through her room.
"The only thing that could possibly make this any better is a book" she thought to herself. Another smile spread across her face.
Her mind began to drift, first focusing on the music and then all of the greatest people who had ever existed. Shakespeare, Einstein, Michael-Angelo, Greg.
Any sat bolt right up. Greg? Why had she thought of Greg? What had he ever done to be thought of as one of the greatest people who had ever existed? Nothing, that's what. He was just Greg and nothing more. Still it made her even more curious.

"Hello Serena" she spoke into the house hone which was situated in the living room. For once she was glad that she was home alone, this was she could talk in private to her friend. She had to find out what was wrong with her.
"Hi ya Amy!" Serena bellowed making Amy remove the phone from her ear at once, holding it at a distance. "What can I do ya for?"
Amy cleared her throat before speaking. How was she going to put this without sounding to abrupt and well…weird? "I'm not feeling to well" she told her friend. "I have this weird feeling in my chest, its some kind of pain but at the same time its not. And the even weirder thing is that, well I know this will sound rather silly but, I've been thinking about Greg a lot lately"
"Hmm, I see" Serena said. "Well the answer is simple. All you need to do is eat"
"Eat?" Amy asked questionably.
"Yep that's right" Serena said. "It always works for me"
"What are you telling that poor girl?" A familiar voice asked from Serena's end.
"Go away Rini, it ain't none of your business"
"Well it is when you put the house phone on speaker!"
Amy listened as the two girls began to yell and argue with each other. She was both confused and embarrassed as to why her friend had put her on speaker. Probably another video game crisis she told herself. Minutes passed before Rini was on the line instead of Serena. She gently spoke to Amy telling her something that she herself had not expected to hear.
"Love?"
"Yep that's right" Rini chirped. "You've fallen in love with Greg and if you ask me its rather romantic"
Amy smiled. "So that's what that feeling was"
She thanked Rini for her help and said her goodbyes to Serena before she out the phone back down into the receiver.
"Love"
