Hey! I'm back! Hopefully this chapter will be longer and better than the last one. Um… I have nothing left to say except, ENJOY!
Sunil was hiding out in the cathouse away from the other pets, thinking about Pepper and his feelings towards her. Do I like her? I just cannot figure it out! Ugh! I must get a second opinion on this situation. But who to ask… Zoe? She is an expert on romance… no, she will just blurt it out to everyone. Russell? No, he will just come up with a complicated plan to get me and Pepper together, and I don't even know if I like her! I know! Vinnie!
Vinnie was Sunil's best friend. He was supportive, helpful, (well, most of the time) and caring. Sure, he may be a little light in the smarts department, but being a good friend was the most important thing in Sunil's book.
So Sunil came out of the cathouse and walked over to Vinnie, who was clumsily practicing his Hip Hop dance moves to the beat on his headphones.
"Vinnie?" Sunil said. Vinnie didn't answer. He didn't know Sunil was there, because he had his back turned to him.
"Vinnie." Sunil tried again, this time a little louder. Still no reply.
"VIIIIINNIE!" Sunil half-yelled.
Finally, Sunil's patience ran out, and he lifted up Vinnie's headphones, and shouted in his ear, "VIIIINNNIIIE!" Vinnie jumped so high, he could be in the Olympics, in the hurtle jump. Then he came crashing down and landed with a thud on the floor in front of Sunil.
"Jeez, dude! You don't have to shout. I'm right here!" Vinnie exclaimed angrily while getting up off the floor.
"I am most apologetic, Vinnie, but I am in need of your assistance." Sunil said.
Vinnie's angry face softened, and he replied, "Oh yeah sure. What can I do for ya bro?"
"Follow me." Sunil said and headed behind the chair in the corner of the daycamp area. There some sort of an unspoken agreement to hide behind there when something was bothering you.
"Uhh… Sunil? What's up buddy?" Asked Vinnie with a concerned expression.
Sunil replied with a slightly shaking voice, since he was kind of embarrassed to be telling someone he might possibly have a crush on someone. "I might possibly have a crush on someone, but I am not certain. How would I know for sure Vinnie?"
"Well would you mind telling me who it is?" Vinnie said, slightly annoyed. Sunil thought for a moment.
"I guess so. It's Pepper. Earlier today, she hugged me, and I feltan overwhelming sense of happiness. Jitters overcame my body. But I don't know if I like her or not."
"Well, DUH! Of course you like her Sunil! Why else would you be all happy around her? And why else would you be so nervous around her? I mean, more than usual." Vinnie said with a small laugh.
"So… I do like her?" Sunil asked curiously.
"Like I said before, DUH." Vinnie smiled slightly at the thought of his best buddy having a crush on Pepper.
"Hmm…" was all Sunil said before turning away from Vinnie and going back into the cathouse where there, he thought about Pepper and how funny she was, how she always made him laugh, how nice she smelled when she was happy, how her tomboyish attitude attracted Sunil, and most of all, how kind she was to him. Yes, she pulled some pranks on him, and once in a while said sort of hurtful jokes to his face, but Sunil knew she was just trying to be funny. He smiled at Pepper's many great characteristics. And that was when he thought to himself; I guess I do like her. And now he knew for sure.
