Summary: Tucker makes some acute observations about his two bestfriends.
Tucker, I mean me, I'm a man of technology. I can fix anything technological. Computers, PDAs, TV's and even my grandmothers ancient VCR she had asked me to hook up the other week. Hence the nickname 'Techno-geek'. But that wasn't the only forte I had.
No, I had a knack for noticing things that others didn't. Especially when the 'others', included my best friends, Danny and Sam. Those two were the worst. Deluded, in denial and mainly, clueless.
Within the past year, I had picked up on the changes that were happening between them both. They were so obvious with their feelings, and yet, neither knew of the others affections because they were so oblivious. Everyone else knew, calling them lovebirds the whole time. I just don't understand why either one doesn't just fess up and tell the other the truth.
Sam had said she would never tell Danny how she felt, only because she didn't want to ruin their friendship and make things awkward. Danny spouted out the same excuse.
It was kind of funny though, watching the two act all cautious around the other. And whenever they had a 'moment', I couldn't help but interrupt and point out the obvious. After they blushed and brushed the moment off like it was nothing, I wanted to face-palm. Because one day, either Danny, or Sam, was going to snap and totally freak the other out.
Take yesterday for example, I was walking up to Sam at her locker and saw Danny leaning against the wall beside her. After putting on lipstick, she asked if Danny was ready to go to class.
Danny was just staring at her the whole time, an intense look on his features. He was having a totally hard time restraining himself, fists clenched at both sides. Luckily, the suave man that I am, I sneaked into their conversation and made sure nothing too heavy happened. Danny had shot me a look of relief, I had rolled my eyes, shrugged and mouthed clueless at him.
But I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have intervened then, Danny would have kissed Sam without any complaints. But silly old me, I made a promise to Danny that whenever it looked like something was going to happen between him and Sam, I would 'suddenly interrupt', just because he didn't want to ruin their friendship.
I guess I could tell where Danny was coming from, he had romantic fears just like anybody else, even like someone as fiiine as me. But I didn't think he could be that dense. Clearly, if him and Sam got together then their friendship would grow, not break apart. Of course, I only knew that because I knew what the other one felt about each other.
I say they'll be together in a month, three weeks tops. Not because of moi, never. I would never do anything devious and meddlesome like that.
It kind of feels like playing cupid, matchmaking them together. Oh! Maybe I could turn this into a career, create one of those online matchmaking sites. Danny and Sam would definitely be the first users. Hmm...
Snap, here come Sam and Danny now!
Whoa man, Danny looks like he's going to have a conniption fit, I better help him out. Tucker Foley to the rescue, PDA in hand!
A/N: I tried to make this sound realistically like Tucker, but still keep the fun and snide comments he usually adds, in. Please review and tell me what you thought ;)
