They were all still laughing and even making fun of my odd crush. I felt so sad and uneasy I needed to get out of the setting quickly. Holding back my tears I chose an obvious way to hide and told them I needed to go to the bathroom.
"What? You need a place to daydream about his horrible looking face?" Said Sabrina while laughing uncontrollably.
"Or how he drools during class!" Shouted Mary while jumping up and down.
"Guys,calm down. Were her friends and we wouldn't care even if she had a crush on a...beaver!" Said Wanda in protest.
"That's what his face looks like." Said Mary
Wanda took my shoulder and looked me straight into the eyes.
"Come on, I know you don't really have to go to the bathroom." Wanda whispered while others were laughing loudly.
We simultaneously stood up and exited the room. Wanda gave the door a huge slam. As if she wanted everyone to know how mad she was. We walked down the hallway into the bathroom. Wanda still had her arm around my shoulder as we walked.
When we were in the bathroom Wanda quietly closed the door and told me that we could both sit on the floor.
"Don't worry Kell. They're just too dumb to know who Maz really is"
"Why can't I like an ordinary guy! Someone typically dark,tall and handsome."
"Hey! If everyone liked someone "ordinary" all the...uh...extraordinary people would be lonely."
"Extraordinary?"
"That's what he is Kelly! Extraordinary!"
"You really think so? I mean remember those days when we used to make fun of him together? How dumb we thought he was? Did YOU really think that?"
"Maybe?"
"See! No one get's him!"
"Guy get's him."
"Guy's an idiot. Plus you like him."
"Well, it does prove that One person likes him?"
"Why does that one person have to be my brother?"
"Maybe, Guy is more smart than you think?"
"Seriously? Have you seen his test scores? He doesn't even know what 1+1 is!"
"Okay. Let's change the subject a little. Why do you have a crush on Maz?"
She asked the one question which was impossible to answer. I tried to think of what to say but couldn't think of anything.
I thought about the first time I was nervous around him. It was in the Third grade. Maz was asked to tell us what happened in the Fifth chapter book we were reading. Maz got nervous as soon as the question was asked.
"Well first Tom Sawyer met a giant chicken and named it Jerry,then his computer attacked him and then he went to the candy castle where he ate rainbow pancakes" Said Maz quickly.
His nervousness and strange randomness was somehow "cute".I don't know how I liked everything about him at that moment.
"Have you been thinking hard?" Said Wanda
I told Wanda about Third grade and even other stories about him. Every story I told gave her a look of understanding.
"I guess it wasn't till Guy be..." I was about to say "became Shezow but I quickly changed it to "When Guy and Maz got older. When we got into life's harder situations. I guess I saw how he dealt with them. I saw more of him. His confidence. His happiness. His sadness." I said
Wanda completely understood like no one ever knew and I was so happy that I could let my feelings out without straight forward confessing to him.
I wondered if I could confess without it being weird or random.
"Hey. Do you think I should tell him? I mean is it a good time?"I asked
"If you really like him than yes" Wanda said.
This inspired me a little but I still wasn't sure.
Wanda and I went back into the room as nothing happened. The others had already started the Harry Potter marathon. The night went on but my mind didn't.
