Chapter 1

"If you stare any harder, you'll burn a hole right through her....."

"Huh---What?"

"Stop staring at her..."

"I wasn't staring....."

"Yes, you were...."

"No, I wasn't. I was ---uh...."

"Yeah?"

"Uh----staring at her sneakers....."

"Really?"

"Yes really...."

"Okay then, without looking, tell me what color her sneakers were..."

"Shut up Johnny....." Bobby muttered as his friend smirked.

"You are so pathetic man...." John continued as he flipped his lighter open and closed for what seemed like the millionth time.

"I am not pathetic...."

"Yes you are.....how long has she been here man?"

"A few months....."

"And you still haven't made your move......what are you waiting for?"

"The right moment..."

"When will that be? Next year?"

"Shut up Johnny..."

"I'm serious dude....you need to talk to her...."

Bobby sighed.

"I can't.....I just---can't."

"Why the hell not?"

"I just can't okay?"

"No, it's not okay....What are you afraid of?"

".............."

"Come on Bobby....you need to make a move.....before someone else does..."

The young man sighed as he contemplated his friend's words. He then glanced over at the young lady once more.

"She'd never go for it....."

"You don't know that..."

"Yes, I do. Why would someone as beautiful and as wonderful as her want to be with me?"

The brunette sighed.

"Look man,.....I'm probably never going to say this again, but you a great guy and I'm sure Rogue would like you."

The blue-eyed young man stared at his friend blankly.

"Who are you and what have you done with John?"

John smirked at his friend.

"I mean it man...she'll like you...."

"And if she doesn't?"

"Look, the worse she could say to you is no...."

"No, the worse thing she could say is, no I'd never date you. Now get away from me you freak...."

"Bobby.....that wouldn't happen. She's too nice a girl to say anything nasty to you. Especially since you too are such good friends..."

"That's another thing....We've been friends for a while now. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable-----"

"Bobby..."

"And that's exactly what'll happen if I tell her how I feel----"

"Bobby..."

"I'll be embarrassed---"

"Bobby..."

"She'll avoid me---"

"Bobby..."

"And then she'll stop being my friend and then----"

"BOBBY!"

"What?!"

"Shut up...."
