What the fuck is wrong with me? Why did I tell him that I love him, no boy wants to here the 4 letter word. I probably just made it really awkward.
"Wow, Francine did you just say you love me?" Arthur was stunned.
"Yeah, I just did."
"Wow and thought me telling you that I like me was a risk you just said the 4 letter word."
"So can we just forget I said this."
"all right with me."
Arthur and Francine both agreed to forget that four letter word but they both knew they couldn't forget it. They both knew that love was a very strong feeling and it was going to be hard to deal with.

"I swear Buster Francine said love"
"Wow."
"That's all you can say."
"Well I don't know what to say. we've only been in High-school 3 weeks and already Francine said the 4 letter word to you."
"Yeah, I know."
"That must make your relationship really complicated."
"Buster if you haven't noticed it's been complicated for weeks."
"I'm going out with Muffy on friday."
"You finally asked her out."
"Yeah and she said yes."
"At least you got your girl."
"Me and Muffy are going to hang out at the sugar bowl."
"Alone."
"Of course."

"D.W can you baby-sit Kate tonight," asked her mom while putting on her purple coat.
"Why can't Arthur do it."
"I have homework,"yelled Arthur from the living room.
"She's 5 she can baby-sit her self."
"D.W you know that a 5 year old can't baby-sit herself."
"Arthur will help you."
"But why can't he do it by himself. He's been baby-sitting since he was 8, that's 6 years."
"D.W you've baby-sat Kate hundreds of times."
"Fine," D.W groaned.
"We'll be home a 11." Mr. Read slammed the door behind him. D.W stamped into the living room.
"This is crap. Why do I have to baby-sit Kate."
"Like you had anything else to do."
"You don't either, why are you here anyway don't you have friends."
"Yes."
"Yes aren't you hanging out with Francine?"
'Yeah but I don't want to face her."
"Why?"
"She told me she loved me."
"She said, she loved you, " D.w blurted out.
"Yes."
"Wow."
"That's the same thing Buster said when I told him."
"She just came out and said she loved you."
"No, I told her I liked."
"Why?"
"We were at Prunella's make-out party-"
"You went to a make-out party." Arthur nodded his head yes. "Does mom and dad know?"
"Yes. So at the make out party some tall 10th grader-"
"It was a 10th grade party." said D.W interrupting Arthur again.
"Yes. Okay so the 10th grader bump into me and I ended up kissing Francine."
"You kissed Francine."
"Yes."
"So then she ignored me." Arthur paused and stared at D.W.
"What?"
"I was expected you to interrupt me. So I finally talked to her and she told me she needed time to figure out her feelings."
"So where does the part where she tell you she loves you come in."
"Then I talked to mom and she told me that when Francine's ready she'll tell me. So 2 days ago I was talking to Sue Ellen-"
"That girl who's always flirting with you?"
"She is not always flirting with me. Anyway Francine thought I was flirting with her, then she called me a player."
"When did she say she loves you."
"After I explained to her what happened she said she said she thinks she loves me."
"Wow."
"This is sad, I talking to my sister about my problems. I must be desperate."
"Arthur do you love her?"
