After IQ darted home, Tammy sighed to herself, slumping her shoulders as she shuffled her way home. There was no skip in her step, no bounce in her walk. IQ wasn't being himself, but she didn't know why! Everything she liked about IQ wasn't there anymore. No, everything she loved about IQ wasn't there anymore. Because what Tammy knew that no one else did was that she loved IQ. In a way she knew she shouldn't, because they were just friends. But she couldn't help it. From the way he laughed to the way he pouted, she loved him. The only other person who knew was Fender. Fender was Tammy's best friend.

She certainly didn't love him in the way she loved IQ, and Fender didn't love Tammy that way either. But Tam had no idea that's what IQ thought was going on. Fender encouraged Tammy to tell her friend how she felt, but she was afraid too. What if he didn't feel the same way? Which she was now certain he didn't, considering the way he was acting towards her.

When she arrived home, the next block over, she went inside and straight up to her room. She put on a record, and began to dance, hoping it would cheer her up. Another thing IQ didn't realize? When he asked Tammy about Fender, her eyes didn't sparkle because she was talking about him. They sparkled because every time he asked about Fender, he was also asking about dance. That was the real reason her eyes shined so brightly.

Things it seemed, couldn't be more knotted up then they were.
