I know it's unrealistic for a sixth grader (I just realized that. :/), but I've talked to some people and they think sixth graders are old enough to kiss and date, so why not add a little drama?
(Zander)
I'm so confused. I'm so confused. Have you ever had those moments when you thought if you actually liked your best friend? Have you ever had that moment when you actually thought she liked you back? If not, you're lucky. Right now, I just needed to have a little chat with Gravity 5. Minus Stevie, of course.
"So guys, can I ask you something?" I say to my friends.
"Sure. Whatcha need Zander?" Kacey says to me.
"I kind of like a friend of mine, and she told me that she likes me back." I say slowly. I was expecting them to freak out, but they don't. It was almost like they heard the story before.
"Really? So are you guys together or something?" Nelson asks me like Stevie would if I told her the story.
"Not exactly." I say awkwardly.
"So how did it play out again?" Kevin asks me.
"She was asleep when she told me." I say ashamed.
"Of course she did. It's Stevie, right?" Kacey asks me. Wait. What?
"How do you know about that?" I ask her.
"Let's just say that I love cameras." she tells me. Now I'm much more confused.
"What should I do?" I ask. I would've asked my mom for some advice, but she's a little... Unpredictable. We never know what she'll do.
"Talk to her about it. She's Stevie. You can talk to her about anything. Remember that time you guys had that talk about who wore the dress better? You, Molly, or me?" Kacey says remembering the good times.
"Yeah. I won that debate." I say sheepishly.
"Okay look. Stevie is a good girl, and so if she likes you, and you like her, you can't just ignore it." Kevin says.
"What if she rejects me?" I ask.
"Dude, you're Zander Robbins! I'm pretty sure she won't just reject you." Kacey says patting me on the back.
"I'm Zander Robbins to everyone, but I'm just Z to Stevie." I say.
"What are you saying?" Nelson asks me.
"I'm saying that Stevie is... Different. I don't know. She makes me smile inside, and when I see her around other guys, it makes me die inside. She isn't the kind of girl that would just go out with me the moment she has the chance." I say.
"That is deep." Kevin says.
"What would you think she would like?" Kacey asks me.
"Something that would show some meaning. I guess." I say. I wasn't sure how I should ask her.
"Write her a song, and sing it to her during lunch in front of the whole school!" Kacey suggests.
"I would, but I don't want to be rejected in front of the whole school, especially the Perfs." I say. I was worried. It could ruin the relationship.
"Do you really like Stevie?" Kacey asks me.
"Yeah." I say.
"Then why do you care about your reputation? She will say yes." Kevin says.
"She would say yes if someone threatened her." I say.
"Don't think that dude. Hm... I got it! Sing Lady to her with your tiny guitar!" Kevin says.
"It's a ukulele! Is Stevie the only one who realizes that?" I ask them.
"Umm... Yeah. Pretty much." Nelson says.
"Okay then. Besides, why should I sing Lady?" I ask them.
"We all know that song wasn't for your dog." Kacey says.
"What? No-"
"Don't even try lying to us Zander." Nelson says.
"Okay. So that song wasn't for Lady. How did you guys know." I ask them.
"Come on Zander. Who would ever write a song for their dog?" Kevin asks. He did have a good point.
"Oh yeah." I say.
"So are you going to sing to Stevie, or what?" Nelson asks.
"Hmm... Sure, but if she rejects me, I'm blaming you three." I say.
