She went home and the house was empty, save for a note from Mrs. Moore. Zach had called again , Robbyn took the note and sat with it on the sofa. It took her several minuets to work up the courage to pick up the phone, and even longer to dial. She hung up twice before she was through, and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Finally she let it ring, her heart slammed against her ribs, she really didn't want to know. It was safer not, if she knew the truth, she couldn't hide from it, but yet there was the urge for her to know.

"Hello."

"Zach, it's Robbyn. Are you busy?" she said without pausing, trying to force all her words out before she chickened out.

"No."

"Can I come over?"

"Sure, but shouldn't you be in work?"

"Yeah, it's important though."

"Ok, I've got something I want to talk to you about aswell."

Her heart sank and she just nodded to herself, not realising she hadn't even said goodbye when she hung up. She changed quickly and left the house, playing with the sleeve of her coat all the way. She felt sick, she was imagining all the things Zach could say to her and none of them where good. When she arrived Zach was waiting for her.

"Hey." she greeted, forcing a smile.

"Hi. I called last night." he said

"I know, I called you first, but you where....otherwise engaged."

Robbyn took a deep breath deciding she had to say everything on her mind now, but Zach said something that upset her and she ran a mile.

"I know what I am and it's not a lot." she began quietly. "I'm no-one's version of the perfect women by any means. I'm stubborn, annoying, picky, sarcastic and sometimes I'm a real bitch."

"What? You're none of those things."

She ignored him." I know there is someone who wants you, someone who is better then me. She can give you more then I ever could."

"Robbyn...."

"No, I'm not finished. I can't cook, I don't clean, I don't have any ambition, I don't know or even care where I'll be in five years."

Robbyn stopped to dig the kangaroo out of her pocket. She held in er hands and looked down at it for a few seconds before carrying on. " I can't offer you anything because I'm a kid. Let's face it, that's all I am, I'm just a kid. This person is a women and I can't compete with that. I'm nothing at all. I'm not one of the girl's that can go out a kick ass. I'm not smart. I'm not funny. I'm not a model. I can't sing or dance. All I do is type on a computer all day. I guess what I'm trying to say is I understand if you want something more. I understand if you never even saw me in that way. But I couldn't help seeing you like that."

She felt stupid and could tell her cheeks where burning. Robbyn didn't want to look at him, so she put her hands in her pockets and looked down at the floor.

"If all you ever wanted was to be friends then....no. I can't. I'm sorry and I'm sorry if I've made a fool out of myself"

Robbyn couldn't stand in front of him any longer, she didn't wait for his reaction or to hear what he had to tell her. She thrust the kangaroo towards him and acted when she felt his hand close around it. Afterwards she felt worse for it, but right then it seemed like a good idea. Robbyn Moore turned around and ran all the way home.
