That Monday everyone was at school. It was fourth period. Mollie and Randy had study hall together. They sat next to each other.

Hi Moll." Randy said.

"Hi Randy."

"How are you today?"

"Good."

"Good, except I have to study for this fucking bio test." "You know I hate bio."

"I know." "I can help you."

"That's alright." "You probably have your own work to do."

"Not today."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." "You have Cook for it right?"

"Yeah."

"That's who I had."

Mollie sat down next to her best friend Chrissy fifth period.

"Hi." Mollie said.

"Hi." "Are we still on for studying at my house tonight?"

"Yeah"

At around eight o'clock that night Mollie was driving home from Chrissy's. It was a cold night. She saw Randy walking down the road and beeped her horn. She pulled over and rolled down the window. Randy stopped walking.

"Get in the car, it's freezing." Mollie said.

He got in the car. "Heat." He said holding his hands out to the register.

"Aw." She started driving. "Going home?"

"Yeah but can we stop at a drive-thur first?" "I'm starving."

"Sure."

"I can't wait to get my license next month."

"I'll bet."

They were about to pull up and order.

"Do you want anything?" Randy asked. "It's on me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

They both ordered cheeseburgers and fries, they parked in the parking lot to eat.

"Randy, are you alright?" Mollie asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I've noticed since you and Michelle broke up, you haven't really been doing anything."

"I'm ok." "I just haven't felt like dating."

"I was just concerned."

"I know it's in your nature to help people in need but I'm fine, I promise."

"Ok."

"Thanks though." "You're a good friend."

They pulled up outside Randy's house.

"Can you send Nick out for me?" Mollie asked.

"Yeah, thanks."

"You're welcome."

Randy got out of the car, in the house and up the stairs. He stopped at Nick's bedroom door

"Mollie gave me a ride home." "She's out in her car and wants to see you."

"Ok." Nick went outside.

Randy went to his room. No one knew but breaking up with Michelle didn't bother him very much. Every girl he'd ever dated had been his second choice. Even when he lost his virginity, he was thinking of someone else. For the last two years he'd had a massive crush on Mollie. He knew he could never tell anyone. Especially Mollie or Nick.
