Summary: Lor is given the task of not saying anything for the whole weekend and she has to report back to the teacher about what she learned. And she learns some very interesting things...

~*~

          Why do birds always have to chirp so early in the morning? Here I was having a very…good dream about...Tino...when the birds decided that it's okay to chirp at 6:30 in the morning. I mean don't they have anything better to do?

          CHIRP!

          Ughhhh! I guess not! Oh well. Just another boring Sunday I guess. SUNDAY! Yes! Today's my last no talking day. Things are going to be great! And then I can tell Tino everything after the meeting. But what should I tell him.

          Well I should tell him, but how without embarrassing Carver and Tish. I don't want to tell everyone at that group their business. Although I think if everyone knew they might get together but...that'll have to happen on it's own time. I suppose.

          That's it! I know how I'm going to tell everyone without actually using any names. Carver can be Friend 1, Tish can be Friend 2, Tino can be Friend 3, and I'll be Friend 4. And all I have to do is let Tino know. So I'll write it on a paper to give him.

          I spent the next hour trying to figure out what to write and finally I came up with something. Here it is:

                                       Tino,

                             Remember this, I can't tell you when you'll use it but it'll be soon. And you'll know.

                    Carver= Friend 1

                    Tish= Friend 2

                    Tino= Friend 3

                    Lor= Friend 4

                                                                   Lor.

          Okay, so maybe it's not the most creative thing in the world but I'm really nervous.

          Take a deep breathe, remember Lor you can do this. It's time, time to tell everyone what I know. It's time to tell Tino, or at least give him the paper. I enter the room and sit down waiting anxiously for Tino to arrive. Fortunately he arrived a few minutes after me. I handed him the paper then sat down between two people so he couldn't sit next to me. He read the paper and I could see the confusion written on his face.

          A minute later Mrs. D called the meeting to order and called me up front.

          "Lor did you manage to keep quiet all weekend?" she asked.

          I nodded. She looked at my friends who all nodded.

          "Okay Lor tell us what you learned."

          I took a deep breath. This was it.

          "I learned that birds start chirping WAAAAAAAAAAY to early in the morning. Although that's because I fell asleep with my window open last night." I was trying to loosen the mood, an interesting expression I'd heard from my dad, and it worked people were laughing. Even Mrs. D had a smile on her face.

          "Okay Lor, what else did you learn?"

          "I learned that...well for the sake of the people mentioned I'm not using any names. They maybe people in this room, or they might not be. They might even be adults. But anyways, I learned that Friend 1 likes Friend 2,"

          Just as I had suspected Tino's head shut up at the mention of Friend 1. I kept going.

          "But unfortunately Friend 2 likes Friend 3."

          Tino's eyes were wide and he was staring at me, very nervous.

          "But, Friend 3 likes Friend 4..."

          I paused and my eyes locked with Tino's.

          "And...what about Friend 4?" Mrs. D asked.

          My eyes still locked with Tino's I took another deep breath (I've been taking a lot of those today), and said;

          "Friend 4 feels the same."

          Okay that's it I'm done. I'm sorry if the ending falls short of the rest of the story, I really am. It's just I'm not good with endings at all. Well R&R and tell me what you think.
