The next day wasn't any better. During the show, IQ couldn't stop from glancing over at Fender and Tammy. Shelley, his partner, was getting quite annoyed. It showed on her face aswell, and she kept scowling at her partner. But he couldn't help it. Fender and Tammy laughed and smiled as they danced together. It was getting him down.
When the show was over, he quickly made his way to his station, so he could leave. But when he arrived, a guest was already sitting there.
"What's shakin'?" Was all Tammy said, but a smile was parting her lips. IQ's eyebrows knitted together, as he looked back over his shoulder. She had just been behind him! How did she get there so fast?
"IQ, you okay?" Tammy inquired, tilting her head to the side. He was acting kind of funny.
"Oh, yeah, I'm swell," he nodded, going to grab his bag from the table.
Tammy intercepted. "Are you sure?" she asked, standing infront of the him and the table.
"Tammy, I'm fine," he assured her. He tried to make his smile convincing.
The girl sighed. "Okay," she shrugged, handing him his bag. "Wanna walk home with me?"
Tammy and IQ had been friends forever. Since they were just little kids. They two grew up living only a block away, and going to the same school. Ever since they were 15, IQ had started feeling differently. Like everything Tammy did was amazing. Two years later, present day, he had realized he was in love with his friend. He loved everything about her, but was afraid to say so.
"Yeah, sure," he said, giving in. So Tammy skipped over and grabbed her bag from her table, and followed IQ outside.
