This one's sweet.

It really starts to show chemisty between them.

Chad's 12 and Emily's 11.

"COMING," Emily called as the doorbell rang furiously. She ran to the front door and opened it. "Chad?"

Chad's eyes widened and he quickly turned around, hiding his face. "Where's Troy?"

"Orthodontist appointment. Chadinater, are you…crying?"

"No," he wiped the tears from his face and turned around to face her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm completely fine," he plastered on a fake smile.

"Then why were you crying?"

"I wasn't crying!"

"Then what's that?" she pointed at a stray tear trailing down his face.

He looked down and quickly wiped it away. "Something happened, okay?"

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Do you mind?" he looked back up at her.

"Not at all," she grinned, "Come in."

Chad walked in, feeling a bit awkward. He had known Emily since…forever. And crying in front of her, well it was just weird. Plus, Chad wasn't a 'crying' type of guy.

"So, what's wrong?" she sat next to him on the living room sofa.

"It's my parents…"

"They're alright, aren't they?" Emily sat up straighter.

"They're getting a divorce," Chad felt his eyes well up with tears again and he turned his head.

"Oh gosh, Chadinater, I'm so sorry," she put her arms around him.

As she did this, a weird sensation came over Chad. He liked the feeling of her arms around him. 'Chad, what the heck are you thinking? You do NOT like Em,' he thought.

"It's okay," he sniffed.

Emily hugged him tighter, and Chad ignored the feelings he had gotten every time Emily had touched him since he was five. Yes, he had felt different since that kiss in kindergarten, but he did NOT like her (Yeah, right)!

"My dad's leaving in a few days."

"You're not going with him are you?" Emily looked at him.

"No, I'm staying with my mom. I just wanted to find Troy to see if I could spend the night. I need to get out of the house," Chad replied.

"I'm sure you can," she smiled.

"Thanks, Emster," he said as Troy walked in the front door.

"Anytime," she walked back upstairs to her room.

See? Fluffle! (That was umm...not very sad, but very fluffly, I must say. -Jordan)

Well, I hope you enjoyed it!
