Section Two
Mush's POV
I just had to say it, didn't I? I knew Blink would get mad if I told him he couldn't sell papes as good as me. Which is funny, when he's mad. Or kinda scary. If he's really mad. I hoped it would be funny, though. But then he made up this whole stupid contest thing- which I think meant he was really mad at me. Kinda. Maybe I think about it too much. But I can't help it! I don't want Blink mad at me!
But anyway, I didn't really like the idea; it was too much like fighting with Blink. And I don't fight with anybody. But especially not Blink. 'Cause… well, you can't tell him or anything, but I like him maybe a little more than I'm supposed to.
Which is kinda why I wish his face wasn't so close to mine.
Well, umm… I do, but… then he might find out. And that could be really bad. Or really good. But probably bad. 'Cause I don't think Blink would like that very much, if he did know.
I couldn't back out of the contest, though. The guys already make fun of me enough, saying I'm too sensitive, and that I need to take more risks. Which is really mean of them.
'Cause if I would have played things safe, I wouldn't be about to kiss my best friend.
