Hey Hi Hello everyone! I really like this story, so I decided to post this chapter early!

Enjoy!

The school day ended like all school days do, and I was off to work. I worked at a frozen yogurt shop, which is really weird, even for me. I just liked the smell of the peanut butter cups that are there.

What?

So I was doing my homework while the shop was at a lull. I heard the bell ring over the door and looked up to see Gloyd. I blinked.

And blinked again.

Why is he here? I thought. Is he here for me? But how did he know I worked here? No one knows I work here.

No one.

"Hey, blondie!" Gloyd smiled.

"How did you know-"

"Vanellope told me. Anyways, I need help with homework. Can you take a break?"

"Sure. In 10 minutes?"

I walked passed Rancis at the register and noted how the way he tied his apron tight around his waist made him look really thin. That's the thing about Rancis. He's perfect. Perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect girlfriend, he's like the definition of perfection. I sat down at one of the tables and watched him as he interacted with the younger children. He fixed their yogurts with a smile on his face and put a dab of whip cream on top as he handed it to them. He would always cock his head to the side and smile as they left, his blonde curls flipping with the sudden movement.

So I kept watching him, occasionally pretending to do homework when he looked at me. He eventually came to sit across from me, two yogurt cups in his hands.

"Pumpkin Spice yogurt with a candy corn?"

"Yeah...how did you know?"

He just shrugged and pulled out his homework. "I just know you, I guess." He said, smiling to himself.

XxxxxxxxxX

Two cups of yogurt and 45 equations later, we finally finished our homework. Rancis yawned as he stood to leave. "That was really fast. To be honest, Vanellope takes forever on her homework. She's just annoying, really." He rolled his eyes.

"So why do you stay with her?" I asked, helping him close up shop.

"Because it's what everyone else wanted for me." he shrugged.

"Do you always do what people say?" I laughed.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Well, cut the crap when you're with me, alright? The only expectation I have of you is to be yourself." I smiled as he looked at me surprised.

"You mean that?" He asked, and I slowly nodded.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

"It's weird how Vanellope and Taffyta are always together." I commented as the two of us walked down the side walk to Gloyd's house.

"Right? I mean, girls do spend a lot of time together, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were dating behind our backs." I giggled at the thought of Gloyd and I doing that.

"So, since you don't like your girlfriend, is there anyone you do like?" Gloyd asked randomly, making me panic.

"Y-yeah, w-why?"

"Calm down! I just wanted to know! It's not like I'm forcing you or anything." he laughed. "Did you tell them yet?"

"Of course I just can't go up and tell them, silly!" I bump my shoulder into his slightly, making him bump into mine.

"And why not?" He smiled.

"Because a) I have a girlfriend and b) they probably don't even like me back."

"Well, a) you don't even like her like that and b) you'll never know until you tell them."

"Well, that's just-"

"Look," He said, turning to stand in front of me. "You can sit there and tell yourself excuses, but the person you like can move on or away without ever knowing your true feelings. The worst thing that could happen is that they don't return them. And who knows, if you're looking at the right person, they might just like you back."

He turned down the street leading to his house as I kept walking. They might just like me back? The only thing I could think about was Gloyd's last sentence and the fact that I'm pretty sure he winked at me.

There you guys go! Kind of weird. I know.
