I know, I know. You all want to shoot me and stab me with sharp objects for not updating this story. I didn't realize how much people liked this story until people started messaging me asking me when I was going to update it. I decided I should stop being a lazy bum and actually update stories. But I've been working on finishing my story Energy Alchemist. I know that's not a very good excuse because I already updated like 6 other stories and not this one. But I have now! I didn't realize I hadn't updated this since June. If I did I might've updated a lot earlier. I know it's still not long and I still haven't been updating quickly. But I'm trying! So please don't kill me. I'm working on updating other stories too. Don't kill me!

Chapter 3…
Winry stared out the window, not looking at the driver in the car with her. She might burst into a blush if she did. Why'd it have to be picture day? He was so dressed up and it made him so much cuter. She thought her hurt would burst and it'd cause her cheeks to flood with the red color.
What am I going to do? She thought desperately. How can I talk to him? "How…?"
"What was that?"
Damn it. I said that out loud. She shifted her head towards him quickly, "Oh nothing. It's fine."
Edward cocked a brow, "You're acting funny Win. Are you sure you're okay?"
Winry felt the blood rising in her face, Damn hormones. Why does he have to be so hot! "I'm fine, really. I was just thinking about something is all."
"Do you want to talk about it?" The blonde boy replied with concern.
"No!" Edward flinched. "I-I mean, no, its okay." Winry recovered.
He slowly smirked, "You're a really strange person, has anyone told you that?"
"You. Just now."
"Well good, now you know."
"You know Ed, you're not the most normal person in the world either." Winry retorted.
"Yeah, but I'll admit that."
Winry groaned, "Come backs never work with you!"
He grinned, "You haven't figured that out yet?"
They were pulling into the school parking lot now, "Oh whatever. You look all fancy in your clothes for picture day, by the way."
"Says the one who wouldn't be caught dead in a dress yet you're wearing one."
"Oh shut up." She growled. "I can't walk in these stupid heals."
Edward got out and slammed the door closed, "Did you not bring clothes to change into?"
"I did…" Winry replied closing the car door and beginning to hobble toward her friend.
"Then you won't have to deal with it that long!"
"I know, I know. But still. I've hardly walked in hea-gah!" Winry tripped over her shoe and reached forward clinging to Ed's shoulders.
Winry's face flushed once again, "S-Sorry."
Ed's cheeks too were a light pink, "I-It's okay. Don't worry about it. Maybe you should change shoes…"
"Awww! Look at the love birds!"
Winry jumped away from Edward immediately after seeing Rose appear beside them, "N-No! I tripped!"
"I've heard that one before." Rose cooed.
"Really, she just tripped." Ed retorted.
"Fine, fine. Don't you two look all dolled up for picture day."
"Yeah, you too. I didn't even know you had a dress like that." Winry mused.
"Winry, I didn't know you owned a dress, period."
"Why does everyone think that!"
"Cause you're you."
"Okay. Point taken."
They stood in line for the pictures. Edward continuously poking Winry in the back because of his boredom. "Ed! Stop!" Winry sneered.
"But its fun annoying you."
She stuck her tongue out at him, "Whatever."
"Don't give me tongue, missy." Edward teased.
"Oh, that sounds kinky." Rose cooed.
Winry's face flushed, "Sh-Shut up, Rose! You know that's not what he meant."
She giggled, "Oh lighten up, don't get your panties in a twist."
"Rose, there's a guy right there!" Winry replied pointing at Edward.
"I don't really care." Edward murmured.
Rose grinned, "See he's cool with it. See, don't get your panties in a twist for me even saying that."
"Rose, you can be very embarrassing at times, you know that?"
"Well ya know, I try."
Ed spoke up, changing the subject, "So, where's everyone else? Mei and all the others."
"Oh, different grades take pictures at different times."
He nodded, "Yeah that'd make sense."
"Indeed it does." Winry giggled.
"Next!" The man called.
"Well… that's me." Winry chimed as she walked over to the stool on the backdrop.
Edward moved up in line watching Winry's picture be taken, Rose poked him in the back, "Don't be such a creeper, Elric."
His face flushed a bit, "I-I'm not."
"Okay. Since she's not here, I'm going to be blunt. Do you have a crush on my best friend or not because I have a feeling she likes you."
His face flushed deeper, "N-No! I-I mean… I've only been here a week!"
"Love at first sight right? That's a possibility. Do you like her or not, answer the question."
"Well…maybe a little."
"A little isn't enough. Answer it!"
"Yes! Okay! I like…" His voice dropped lower, "I like Winry…"
"Well then ask her out, dumbass!"
"I've only been here a week!"
"Next!" The photographer called.
Rose's eyes narrowed, "Don't think you're getting out of this. I'm finding you later, Ed."
Said boy gulped, "Right…"
