Inside and Outside

I slapped myself. Those thoughts were coming back. Why can't I stop?! Micheal put his hand on my shoulder. I yelped. "MARIA!"

"Y-yes?"

"He wants to check out the mall."

"S-sure!"

I tried to make it look like something had happened. Micheal stared at me weird.

"WHAT?"

"Nothing."

I walked ahead of them trying to keep my blushing to a minium. I was soo embarassed. These thoughts about someone who doesn't even like me back. I really should learn to stop. That's when I bumped into my EX. "GoDAMNIT!" I yelped backing up. "Sooo..It's the- -" I didn't let him finish.

"Leave me alone."

"ooo..that hurts."

"wonderful"

"pff. What brings you here?"

I looked behind me to see where Link and Micheal whent. They were RIGHT behind me. "I'm showing a friend around." I pointed to Link.

"A friend? HIM?"

I grumbled. "She's right." Link must of known how angry I was getting.This made my EX shocked. "Your soo ugly though! How'd you meet a friend like him?!" I couldn't explain it. Noone could. "errr..."

"you payed him right?"

"WHAT?!"

The EX snickered. This is why I hated men. This is also why I hated to fall in love anymore. I heard Micheal whisper something to Link but I couldn't make it out. That's when I felt Link's arm on my shoulder. I whent into a blushing frenzy. "uhh.." But Link talked for me. "Excuse me but..She ISN'T ugly."

"Says who?"

"Says ME."

"Jo--MARIA!"

That's when my friend walked in. She was carrying two sodas. He thinks he can make me jealous by PRETENDING to go out with my friend? Not gunna happen. I looked up..My face was probally the color of the Start button on the N64 controller. "Maria..Are you okay? Your all red."

"WHAT?!" I covered my face. My EX snickered. "Where'd you find the guy?" My friend whispered in my ear. "Err...somewhere."

"ha!..."

"????"

"um...Want a soda?"

"I thought it was for the other guy.."

"No.."

"Oh. Okay"

Then I remembered. "Hey,Link...Have you ever had a sada?"

"No.."

I handed him the soda. "Try it." He did. At first his face looked sick then he looked normal. "It's not bad."

"It's called Coca Cola."

"Interesting.."

"It used to have a drug called Cocaine in it. Not anymore though."

"Okay."

I could tell he didn't understand but he sure as hell tried to. I nodded. His hand still on my shoulder. Then I thought: Did he LIKE me? My friend smiled at me. "What a way to get back at your ex,Maria. Hiring a guy..." I growled.

"I didn't hire him."

"Sure."

I ran off..to somewhere in the mall. I just wanted to get away.
