Disclaimer: I WILL NEVER OWN NED AND NDSSG!!! If I did, this story would be made into a real episode. :)
"Hey Moze…" A voice behind her called. Jennifer Mosely then turned away from her lock to see who the person was.
Seeing that it was only Ned, she was a little relieved. Ever since that morning, she had been feeling nervous about something, and she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hi Ned! What's up?" She asked, closing her locker and hugging her books to her chest.
For a moment there, Moze noticed that Ned wanted to say something but was hesitant to do so.
"Is there a problem?" She asked him, feeling a little worried of what it might be that's bothering her friend.
After a few seconds, Ned looked up. Locking his eyes to hers.
"I've a confession to make…" He said.
Moze's heart was beating really fast, maybe this was the reason why she was feeling anxious since early that morning.
"What is it?..."
She heard Ned breathe for air when he looked at her again.
"I like you Moze…"
Moze felt butterflies in her stomach. Is he really serious? Or is it one of his lame jokes? Maybe he noticed she was looking a little uneasy and decided to say a joke to lighten her mood up. But this wasn't a good joke. Moze's face grew serious.
"What?..."
"I said I like you… Do I really have to repeat it? Or would you like me to tell it to everybody here in Polk?" He grinned at her, that devilish, but insanely cute grin of his.
Moze tried talking, but her brain seemed to have stopped functioning because she can't utter a word.
"So… what about you?" He asked, breaking the silence. Moze thought she must have looked really stupid, opening her mouth like that.
"I um… I… like you too, Ned." She gulped at her statement.
Of all the days, of all the places he could do this, why'd it have to be here at their lockers? It's such an uncommon way of confessing to someone. It was only five more minutes to eight. They would be late if they will just look at each other.
"Good." Ned smiled at her. She really couldn't figure out what else to say.
After a few good seconds, Ned coughed.
"So… are we like, together now?" He asked her.
Moze almost laughed at his question. Duh!
"Um, you can say it like that." She answered him.
Ned smiled at her, and then took her free hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Shall we go to class now? Crubbs might freak out if he sees us still talking to each other when it's only two minutes left before homeroom starts." He told her. Moze just nodded, unable to think clearly. But the idea of Crubbs freaking out didn't faze her one bit.
"Okay, let's go."
Ned swung their arms as they walked to homeroom, hand in hand. Suzie Crabgrass and Missy almost dropped their jaws upon seeing the two.
"NED!"
Ned quickly spun around to see Moze smiling goofily in the bed.
"Moze? Are you okay?" Her best friend asked her. He was too worried to even notice Faymen standing next to him, also worried.
"Huh?"
When Moze came to her senses, she saw two blurry individuals in front of her. She rubbed her eyes, and when it was clear enough, it was only Ned and Faymen.
Faymen!
"Oh my god… I fainted… right?" She asked the two boys, which in return nodded at her.
"That's so embarrassing!" She squeaked. Ned and Faymen exchanged sympathetic looks.
Moze covered her face with the bed sheets. Oh my god! OH MY GOD! The last thing I remembered was Ned and Loomer… ugh, kissing? Wait… They weren't, were they? Shit. Whoa! I just cursed? What the hell? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH ME?!!! And what's with the dream I had? It seemed too real… ARGHH!!! NED CONFESSED TO ME THAT HE LIKED ME!!! Oh wait… THAT WAS A DREAM!!! AHHHH!!! I'M GOING CRAZY!!!
"Moze… MOZE!!!" A familiar voice called her. Her shoulders were being shaken, as if to wake her up from a nightmare.
"MOZE SNAP OUT OF IT!" The voice called out again.
Moze was having serious issues about this gay thing.
She uncovered herself from the sheets and came face to face with her other bestfriend, Cookie. She was so glad to see him.
"Cooookiiiieee!" She squealed. It was as if they hadn't seen each other in ages.
Cookie, Ned, Faymen and Loomer, yeah Loomer was there too, exchanged sympathetic looks.
"Hey Moze, do you need a shrink or something?" Cookie asked out of the blue.
Moze's eyes shot up. "WHAT?!"
"You've been acting really weird lately… And you haven't been hanging around me or Ned too… Do you have a problem or something?" At the sound of his voice, Moze could tell her best friend was just being caring. His voice was at his sincerest.
"Of course I am! What makes you think of that? Come on Cookie… This is tenth grade for chrissake! I can't just let discussions and classes slip by and not pay attention!" She gritted her teeth, how dare they accuse her of being… mentally sick or something?
Ned raised his eyebrow, "Uh huh? It's not like I'm that thick to not notice you look distracted in almost every class." He told her. Moze fell silent. He's right.
"I do NOT look distracted Ned Bigby! I'm merely… thinking. Yeah. I'm always thinking about something. Yeah, that's it." She lied, smiling inwardly, and hoping that it would convince her friends.
Cookie shook his head. "Come on Moze, let's get you home. You need to have plenty of sleep today. " He said to her. Moze looked at the wall clock. Three o'clock.
Yeah, I do need to get some rest. I hope God will let me dream of flying elephants, lions and tigers playing with each other, crocodiles befriending swans…
Getting a shrink was the last thing she wanted to think about.
