One day I was walking around campus, when I heard Autumn calling for me from behind.

"Mike, wait, I`ve been looking everywhere for you. I`m running a new quiz for 'The Voice', so I need your help with your answer", Autumn said with a smile on her face, as she and Payton caught up with me.

"Sure thing", I replied, though to be fair I was getting kind of exhausted with Autumn's silly questions for The Voice.

"Ok ... so, here it is: What do you think is the most important thing to have at a party? Candy, Hot Cocoa, Balloons, or Cookies?", Autumn asked as she was biting her tongue, focused on her notepad, getting ready to note my answer.

"Cookies, Cookies", Payton shouted.

"Uhm ... I don`t know, Autumn, I guess none of the above ...", I sighed, and turned around to leave.

Autumn gasped. "Wha ... what do you mean? Erm ... That`s not on the answer list. You have to choose your favorite party treat.", she said. "Or maybe I should have put Makeup products in the quiz? Oh no, or Peppermint Lattes?", she mumbled, starting to get worried.

"Yaaay, peppermint lattes. Yaaay, yaaay!", Payton yelled hysterically, like a dying horse.

I was getting really annoyed.

"Look, Autumn, I don`t know. Don`t you think these questions are a little bit childish? I mean we are in High School. Candy, really? Balloons?", I asked.

A blush started climbing on Autumn's neck, and she put her head down as tears started forming in her eyes. "Oh my God, not again", I thought to myself.

"I ... I thought ... uhm ... I mean ..." she muttered, after which she quickly turned and ran away.

Payton frowned. "OMG, Mike, what is wrong with you? How could you be so mean? How could you say such awful things to Autumn? Quick, we must go after her"

"What did I say that was so afwul, and why must we go after her ... again?", I asked.

"OMG Mike, because she is our friend and you hurt her feelings. Come on".

Payton grabbed my hand and we started running after Autumn to go check on how she felt ...
