Chapter 2

Branches POV

Poppy was babbling on about something I wasn't really paying attention the whole reason I asked her on this picnic was to tell her how I feel and I wasn't sure if I could do it. Ugh I don't know what to do. How could I tell her? How can I possibly explain to this amazing troll that I wish to be more than her friend? I suddenly felt a hand shake my shoulder and my name being called. I snapped out of my daze and looked around.

Poppy:"Hey branch what ya thinking about it seemed like you were in a whole other world there" poppy giggled.

Branch:"It was nothing I was just thinking"

I said smiling back at her.

Poppy:"About what?"

I got ready to tell her everything about how I feel I had all the words ready in my head but as I began to speak..

Branch:"Poppy I have something important to say-"

GuyDiamond:"hey poppy and branch what ya doooing?"

Poppy:"Oh hey GD nothing we're just talking"

GuyDiamond looked at us as if he interrupted something important (AND HE HAD!!) but he carried on talking anyway.

GuyDiamond:"mmhm okay well peppy sent me he said he had something he wanted to talk to you about right away"

Poppy:"Oh okay I'll go see him now I'm so sorry to have to go branch was there something you needed to tell me?"

I so badly wanted to scream YES I LOVE YOU but I ignored the silly impulse.

Branch:"No it's fine poppy don't worry about it we can do this another time asuming you want to aha.."

I looked down nervously unable to look into Poppy's eyes.

Poppy:" Of course I want to do this again I'll come by your pod tomorrow I want to know what that thing is that you so desperately want to talk about"

And with that she pulled me into a quick goodbye hug and skipped alongside GuyDiamond down the beach. I couldn't help but feel a little relieved that GuyDiamond had showed up a part of me still wasn't ready to tell poppy how I felt. But I wanted to tell her. I want her to know that I love her more than anything in the world.
