Jamie has been my best guy friend since 6th grade. We went to different high schools, but were able to keep in touch by email, phone and just seeing each other over the summer and at dances at our high schools. We were going to the same college in the fall, though, which made me really happy. I don't know what I would do without him. When college started, Jamie and I hung out a lot. We had a ton of fun and most people on campus probably thought we were dating. We weren't though. We just hung out a lot because we were such good friends. One day, we were talking and one girl called out, "Hey, Jamie!" Jamie turned around and replied, "Hey, Cassidy!" He turned back to me. I said, "Who's that?" and I threw in a little teasing eyebrow wiggling. He said, "Oh, that's just Cassidy. She's in a few of my classes." I replied, "Do you think she's pretty?" He said, "I guess, but I like someone else."

"Who?! Who?!"

"You don't know her."

"Well then tell me her name!"

"It's Theresa."

"Me?!"

"No! Her name is Theresa though."

"What does she look like?"

"She has brown hair, glasses, and brown eyes."

"So she looks like me."

"Sort of, but her hair is shorter and her glasses are different."

"OK. I felt like you were describing me for a minute."

"Hey, who do you like? You almost always have an eye on at least one guy. Who do you like?"

"I'm not telling unless I know he likes me, because I don't want an incident like in grade school."

"I see. Hey do you want to go catch a movie?"

"Sure, What movie?"

"Let's wait 'til we get to the movie theater to see what they have."

"OK. Let's go!"
