Dan's POV

"Okay, I'll go first. It's about us….."

"Okay…." I said, still clueless as to what she was implying.

"Do you feel like I feel when I say us?"

I nearly jumped out of my seat. "Oh, that's what you mean by 'us'…. Um well, there is no 'us.' Right….?"

"I don't think there's an 'us'…."

"Good because there is definitely not an 'us.'"

She smoothed out her skirt, looking down. "Oh course not! It seems that you already have a girlfriend anyway…."

"Well for one, I don't have a girlfriend! And secondly, what did you mean by 'us' exactly?"

"Well, just 'us.'"

"No…." I said suspiciously. "You asked to see if I liked you! You must like me!" I said, finally realizing.

She sighed. "Alright! I'll admit it; I like you a tad bit more than all of the other boys I've seen… and you do so have a girlfriend!"

"I do not!" Great, now we were bickering like kindergarteners. "Meg and I are not dating! We're not even teenagers yet!"

"Oh, don't act stupid!" She protested. "But I bet it's not hard."

What had began as a friendly discussion had turned into a full fledged war.

"Are you kidding me?" I shot back. "Why would you even think that?"

"Do you even see the way she smiles at you? Or the way her face lights up around you? Do you notice how she casually flicks her hair and flutters her eyelashes? Do you think she's doing that for fun? Obviously, you don't know as much about her as I thought you did. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to setting up in our room…" She got up from the table and walked back towards the hallway, leaving me thinking about what she had just said. Man, did I really have to catch onto more things when dealing with girls. Why the heck are they more difficult to understand than anyone gives them credit?

Amy's POV

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate cupid? Yeah, well, as I sat on my bed, Ian leaning on the door to the room, I just thought to myself, 'Why me?'

He smiled over at me, but I had to resist the urge to smile back at him. After all, even after we had forgiven each other, he betrayed me again by taking me and Dan hostage…. (a/n Reference to The Next Clue…)

"I can't believe you even had the nerve!" I shouted at him, breaking the mood. Though it was off topic, he knew exactly what I was talking about.

"I'm really sorry!" He yelled back.

A few minutes ago, Natalie and Dan had left the room because of our childish fighting.

"No, you're not! If you ever had a chance, it was before you double crossed me again!"

He went silent. His hair sparkled in the lighting.

"And I thought you actually liked me! I can't believe I actually fell for that! Again!"

He smiled at that. "Yes, all girls are like that around me."

"You're unbelievable!"

"And you're not stuttering." Ian noticed.

"Yeah, I'm not." I realized. "Maybe it's because I'm just furious!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't be mad at me." He advised.

"Why?"

Ian walked forward, an expression on his face that showed that he was carefully choosing his words.

But what he did next confused me more.

He kissed me. All of my hatred left. Man, he was smart.... he knew all of my weaknesses.

"Ian?" Someone called from the door.

"Natalie…" Ian said.

"What are you doing with the book nerd?"

"Well it's a funny story…."

Sorry for making you wait a little for an update. I could blame it on me wanting to make the suspense increase, but I would be lying. I just wanted to try and fit in the right word choices, and you know…. Sooo…. Enjoy! Plz review!
