"Hello," Hazel said.
"Mm," was the only reply she got.
The boy she was talking to was a pig. You would've thought that Hazel would have learnt from last time, but she wasn't the smartest cat around.
The pig refused to look up from his drawing.
"I'm Hazel," Hazel said.
"Mm."
"What are you doing?"
"Sketching."
"Oh. Well that's very…" Hazel wasn't very good with words. "So what's your name?"
"Look, don't you think it's kinda bad that you asked my Dad out, and now you're asking me out?"
"What?"
"I'm Axel," the pig said. "Kermit's kid. And no matter how desperate you are, to get a boyfriend. I'm not interested."
"Wait, how did you know about what happened with me and Kermit this morning?" Hazel asked. "Have you been spying on me?"
"Spying? Oh no. I don't need to spy on people; I have a little sister to do that for me."
"So…you won't go out with me?"
Axel sighed. "No! Now shove off!"
"Do you already have a girlfriend?"
"As a matter of fact, yes I do."
"Well, then you can give me advice!"
"Advice?" Axel sighed. "If I don't, you won't leave me alone, right?"
"You got it!"
"Well, one thing you're doing wrong is, you're trying too hard."
"Trying too hard?"
Hazel didn't understand. How can you try too hard?
"Yes. You can't force love; it'll end up a mess. Just wait till your time comes."
"I can't wait! I'm impatient! I want a boyfriend NOW!"
Axel sighed. "Oh boy. So, you'd rather rush and have a fake relationship, than wait and have a real one?"
"What does that mean?"
"You're going to run around asking out every Tom, Dick and Harry?"
"Yuh-huh."
"Good luck."
