About 3 weeks had passed before Brick was able to talk to Blossom again. She was always busy with her boyfriend, and made it a point to avoid him. It was starting to get to him. He'd had enough, and started to seek her out. He eventually started to wait by her locker at school because she couldn't ignore him if he was right in front of her.

"Hey Blossom," he said when he saw her.

"Hey Brick."

"Are you avoiding me?"

"What makes you say that?" She tried to play innocent, but Brick saw through that.

"The fact that, I don't know, I haven't spoken to you in weeks."

"Yeah, about that. My boyfriend doesn't want me talking to you. He thinks you're in love with me, as funny as that sounds."

Brick felt his heart crack. Why couldn't she just accept the truth? He did love her, and would do anything for her. But he couldn't show how he felt? Not when she refused to accept the fact that it might be possible.

"That's funny. We're just friends. Plus, he can't tell you who to hang out with. You get to choose that. See you later." With that, Brick walked away.

Blossom thought about what Brick had said and decided she was going to go tell her boyfirned to back off. Well, not in those words exactly, probably kinder.

After school, she went to her boyfriend, Dexter's, house. She wished she had realized sooner, or that she hadn't come at all.

Sorry about the length, I'm trying to work on that. Please write your honest feelings in the review. I can take critism.
