Nutty was in his bedroom, laying on his bed and blaring music through his headphones. Thoughts whizzed through his head so quickly, you'd think he wouldn't be able to think straight. But this was normal for Nutty's fast-paced and quirky nature as he was able to think about one thing at a time and stuck with it until he went onto another thought. The main thing on his mind tonight was a certain red-haired girl though.
Flaky.
Even though the two high schoolers have only been friends for a couple weeks since they started working on their English project, they have been closer to each other than either Flaky or Nutty could have ever been with anyone else. Flaky didn't immediately think of him as an annoyance and was actually kind to him unlike everyone else and Nutty felt like he could act like himself around her or even act normal, no worries or stress.
But she also made him feel. . .weird. Like the way, he got when he ate too much sugar. All jittery and nervous, heart pounding like a drum. Like a sugar rush times ten and Nutty couldn't figure out why.
As Nutty stared up at his bedroom ceiling, staring up into space as he started to drift off, only to wake to the sound of someone pounding on his door. Nutty pulled out his headphones and rolled off of the bed, making his way out of his room, up the stairs and across the living room to where the front door was.
He opened it and saw a young man with green hair, dressed in army fatigues. It was Flippy, his green eyes looked a bit wild and unnerving as Nutty gave him a small nervous smile, "Hey Flippy! What are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you. Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Nutty stepped back inside and walked to the living room and sat down in his favorite chair, Flippy sat across from him in another chair and stared at the ground before looking up at the other guy. The silence went by for a solid minute before Nutty cleared his throat and spoke up.
"So what did you wanna talk about?"
"I can't help but notice you've been spending a lot of time with Flaky lately ."
Nutty nodded, "Yea, we've been partners on that English project and I guess it's made us closer. Plus she is nicer to me than most of our other classmates. I like her."
Slight anger and jealously brewed in Flippy, but he kept it under control as he smiled, "I just hope you were getting the wrong idea about you and her."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, you didn't know? I would have thought she told you."
"Told me what?"
"Flaky and I are dating."
