"What the heck are you doing?" I asked, looking up from my homework.
"What does it look like?" he replied, "I'm eating peanut butter."
"Yes I realize that, but you're eating out of the cup, with nothing but a spoon. Don't you realize how gross that is?"
Zach shrugged, "Oh well, it's good."
"What happens when someone wants to make a PB&J? They use the peanut butter you stuck your spoon in a hundred times?"
"Well, yeah."
"That's gross!" I exclaimed, "No one wants your germs!"
"You know you do." He raised his eyebrows.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" I averted my eyes so he wouldn't see me blushing. Oh I knew what that meant, and secretly, I wished it would happen. But he could never know that, it would ruin our friendship.
The couch started to move, looking back up I saw Zach leaning towards me.
"Zach!" I backed up.
"I'm just kidding," he sat back down. "I wouldn't risk getting peanut butter on the floor, my mom would kill me."
"Plus, I wouldn't kiss you because your breath probably smells like peanut butter." I commented, "That's another reason not to eat it."
Zach laughed, "There's in nothing you can make me do to stop eating peanut butter."
"Oh trust me, there is." I laughed as I thought of the perfect idea.
"Like what?" he challenged me. "Take it from me?"
Shrugging, "No," I answered. "I'd make you watch Vampire Diaries until you put it away."
"You wouldn't!" He gasped.
"Oh I would." I placed my US History textbook down on the carpet and walked to the other side of the room where the remote was sitting on the arm of his dad's old leather recliner. Slowly, I pressed the red "POWER" button and the TV came to life.
"Cammie," Zach said slowly, "Don't you dare."
"Put the peanut butter down," I replied. "Or suffer the consequences."
He narrowed his eyes, "Never."
"Suffer the consequences it is!" Changing the channel to 34, the TV came to life with a marathon of Vampire Diaries.
Perfect, I thought. I'll win this one.
Smiling, I read the tiny words on the bottom of the screen and read it aloud for Zach to hear. "Hey look, commercial free! We get to watch a marathon of Vampire diaries with absolutely no break!"
Zach's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.
"Is that a problem?" I asked sarcastically.
"Nope, not at all."
"Good," I smiled at him before sitting back down.
As we watched Vampire Diaries, I counted the minutes that went by until he refused to watch anymore. It was a weird talent I'd had for a while. Surprisingly, he lasted 11 minutes and 52 seconds before complaining.
"Please turn it off!" He groaned.
My eyes never left the TV, "Not until you put the peanut butter down."
" Never!" He yelled once again.
"Ok then. Aww look," I pointed to the screen. "They're kissing. Wish I had a boyfriend like that."
"That's it!" Zach said as he lunged for the remote. I quickly sprang from the couch with the remote in my hands. I was on one side of his mom's glass table and Zach was on the other.
"You'll never get this from me Goode!" I teased him, jumping over the couch into the kitchen.

"Not so fast, Morgan!" I quickly grabbed Cammie by the waist and brought her down to the hardwood floor. We hit the floor with a "THUD" and the peanut butter flew out of my hands.
No! Not my peanut butter!
"Ow!" Cammie cried out, "My head. Thanks for tackling me Goode."
As she rubbed her head I realized I was laying next to her, with my hands still around her waist.
Here's your chance! My brain told me. Kiss her! You know you want to!
I slowly leaned into her, our faces inches away from each other. Cammie realized what I was doing, and slowly lifted her head towards mine. Our lips were barely touching when Cammie started to giggle.
I pulled back, "What's so funny?" She only continued to giggle.
"I was right," She smiled.
"About what?
"Your breath smells like peanut butter."
