"Roxie," Miles repeated.
Sabrina stood still with an expression of shock on his face. "You're joking," she said.
"No, I'm serious."
"No!" Sabrina cried sitting down on one of the counter stools. "Roxie's impossible!"
"Then you're going to kill me," Miles said. He knew that Roxie didn't think high of him, but it was worth a shot.
"No Miles, I'm not going to kill you. I need coffee. Don't tell anyone about you-know-what and go back to the campus house. I have to talk to Josh."
"See, that's another thing! You have Josh, Morgan has every other boy on campus, but I don't have anyone. Neither does Roxie."
"I'll see what I can do," Sabrina said sighing. She left after that.
Miles walked home and as soon as he walked in he felt really bad. Sabrina was going through all this trouble for him. And all he could do was cross his finger and pray like hell that Roxie didn't hate him that much.
Roxie sat on the couch at Hilda's Coffee House. Too bad all the cute guys here are probably taken or gay.
"Roxie!" It was Sabrina.
"Spellman? Do you follow me on purpose?"
"I need a favor. A really, really, really big big big big big favor."
Roxie stared at Sabrina. "What's in it for me?"
"Um, the satisfaction of knowing that you helped someone?"
Roxie laughed. "You're a weird one Spellman. What do you want?"
"I want you to be Miles' girlfriend."
Roxie laughed even louder. "What is this, April Fool's day?"
"Why is everyone asking me this? No!"
"So you're saying you want me to pair up with a loser like Miles?"
"Roxie, he isn't a loser. He just has different opinions than most people. Please?"
"The answer is no."
"Please I don't want to kill him!" Sabrina clapped a hand over her mouth.
"What?"
"He, he. It's a funny story. I'll tell you about it later. Gotta go." Sabrina got up from the couch. "Think about it, please!" Sabrina said as she ran out the door. That was really weird. Roxie smiled. She couldn't tell Sabrina the truth about her feelings for Miles.
"Hey Miles," Roxie said. Miles was sitting on the couch in the college house. He looked up. He gave a small wave at Roxie.
"Um, Miles, Sabrina asked me the weirdest thing."
Miles turned pale. Sabrina must really not want to kill him. He gulped. "Uh, what?"
"She asked me to be your girlfriend."
Miles sighed. Geez, he'd probably end up killing Sabrina before she killed him. "And of course you said no," Miles said matter-of-factly.
"Actually, yes, but that was what I told Sabrina."
"I don't get it," Miles said.
"What, do you really want me to be your girlfriend?" Roxie asked, sitting down next to Miles. A little too close in Miles' opinion.
"Uh, well, you know..." Miles stuttered.
"Because I was thinking," Roxie said. "Sabrina has Josh, Morgan has every guy she knows, and us? No one."
"Like two lost souls," Miles said looking at Roxie. Their faces were so close to each other.
"Yeah," Roxie said. "Like-" Miles leaned forward and kissed Roxie.
Sabrina was feeling really bad. Roxie hated Miles! She opened the door to dorm/house. Then she noticed Roxie and Miles in a full lip lock. Sabrina wanted to shout with glee. "Yes!" she said. Roxie turned around.
"Sabrina, um, we didn't know that you were standing there," Roxie said nervously.
"Well, you know, I just kind of got here," Sabrina said smiling.
Sabrina, can I talk to you?" Miles asked getting up from the couch. He grabbed Sabrina's arm and pulled her into his room.
"Miles, it worked! I thought she hated you!" Sabrina said happily.
"I know. me too! This is great. I am forever in your debt."
"Well, there's one thing you could do for me," Sabrina said.
"Anything, what?"
"Don't tell anyone about my secret, even Roxie."
"Got it. Can I ask you a favor then?"
"Sure, what?" Sabrina asked attentively.
"Roxie told me you asked her about, you know. Well, don't ask those embarassing things for me in a public place so the whole world can hear, okay?"
"Sure," Sabrina agreed with a small chuckle.
"Roxie," Miles repeated.
Sabrina stood still with an expression of shock on his face. "You're joking," she said.
"No, I'm serious."
"No!" Sabrina cried sitting down on one of the counter stools. "Roxie's impossible!"
