Author Note: Well, it's been a minute since I came to this story...O.O.

I am so sorry guys, my life has been turned upside lately and I'll give you a better explanation if you ask through PM. But I am back as long as people keep reviewing this story, because I do not want to write for empty air. :). I love you all, and I'll be updating this regularly, (like I said before,) if I get reviews! That's all the motivation I need; it's summer and I'm not too busy now.

I love you guys. :).


Tears were going down the cute guy's face.

Tears were going down the cute guy's face.

"Oh my gosh!" Carly exclaimed, color gathering on her cheeks as she tried to form a complete sentence after she froze up, "are...did I...di...I...I'm...so-sorry!"

The cute guy merely blushed himself, turning away from her meekly. Her heart pounded as she made a split decision to grab at his hand, but he merely jumped and turned away from her completely.

No! No, don't go! she pleaded mentally as she scurried to stand in front of him.

The timid, shier girl managed to get his gaze on hers and she sputtered out, "Please...I'm really sorry if I hurt you, but I...you're...you're really cuteandIwanttoaskyouonadate!"

The last part of her bold move came out jumbled like one sentence, but the cute guy seemed to understand. He stared down at her with wide, confused hazel eyes with dampness still brimming the edges for what seemed like forever. Her big brown eyes managed to stay in contact, though she was trembling on the outside and shaking uncontrollably on the inside.

Smooth move, Carly.

"I..." he finally managed, "I can't. You're a really nice girl, bu-but...I can't have a girlfriend."

Her slightly hopeful face disappeared, "O-oh...well...can we at least be friends or something?"

He seemed to consider it briefly before nodding slightly, quite meekly, "Sure. Can I have your...your number or s-something?"

The poor thing seemed just as terrified- if not more- than her. She nodded quickly, awkwardly fumbling in her purse for anything to write on. She finally found a gum wrapper...with chewed gum on it. Casually flicking it off inside her purse, she jerked it out and slammed it against the wall. The boy's eyes were wide as she grabbed out a pen, scribbling down the digits before half flinging her arm at him.

"There you go!" she announced, her face a nice pink.

Blushing himself, he accepted the wrapper and slipped it into his pocket, "Um...I'm Donald, by the way."

"Carly," she breathed out in slight relief, "so...text you later or something?"

Nodding once with his face properly colored, both of them scurried off in their opposite directions. That was, of course, before they realized their original destinations and hurried back past each other.

"I'm going to class!"

"Right, I need to pee..."


"Do we have too?" Gibby whined to his friend as Carls rested peacefully on his leg.

Freddie scowled a little at his buddy, "You made me watch a marathon of Honey Boo in exchange for watching The Life of Pi. Oh yeah."

"I FILL YOU UP! LET'S HAVE A PARRRRTTTYYY!"

The techy groaned a bit and hefted himself to his feet, opening the door to his older brother figure's door, "Hey man, keep in it down in here! Gibby and I are trying to watch a movie!"

"You might be!" Gibby retorted.

Spencer looked up sullenly from the piles and piles of red solo cups he'd stacked all around his room, mourning, "Whateverrr."

Freddie frowned and sighed a bit. "Look. I know you really miss Carly, but we all do. We're just going to have to deal with it best we can and wait for her to get back."

"But I dunno what to do," the man whined, turning back to his newest stack and plopping down another cup, "proceed to PARTAYYYYY!"

"Want to come watch "The Life of Pi" with us?" the younger offered.

Spencer's head snapped up instantly, his face growing deathly seriously, "I'm not that desperate yet."


Author Note: No offense to the movie, I've never seen it. :3
