CHAPTER 1

Bart's POV

Where is Milhouse?

I've been sitting in my tree house for an hour waiting for him.

I sigh.

Where is Milhouse?

Is he hanging out with someone else?

My eyebrows furrowed.

Why do I care so much?

I stand up and see Lisa through her window. Milhouse has been in love with Lisa for forever. I feel a knot in my stomach.

I decide to call him. I pick up my phone.

"Hi, Bart!" Milhouse says.

"Milhouse where are you?" I ask him, a bit too much edge in my voice.

"Oh, Bart, I forgot, Samatha called me and asked me to meet her. She is coming to our school this year. Isn't that great."

Samatha. Why do I recognise that name?

~~~~flashback to S3 E22 Bart's friend falls in love~~~~

SAMATHA!!

"Bart? Bart? Bart!" Milhouse calls.

"Oh, yeah Samatha."

"Aren't you excited, Bart?"

"B…b..but what about Lisa? You love her, don't you? I mean shes been talking about you a lot recently. I mean…I mean-" I struggled for words.

What am I saying?

Why am I so against Samatha?

"Bart, what are you talking abo-"

I heard muffled voices from the other side of the phone.

"Sorry, I have to go. Bye" Milhouse said.

"But Milhouse-"

The line went dead.

And so did my heart.

Why am I so emotional over Milhouse?

I go to my room. I think of when it was decorated with all of Krustys stuff. Now I have posters of bands and movies I like and some cool stuff.

I put on my headphones. I play my favourite playlist.

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling.

Lisa walked in.

"Bart?" She asked, gently.

I sat up and looked at her. Only at that moment, that I realised there was a tear running down my face.

"You okay?" Lisa asked.

"Uh…yeah…I'm fine." I said, not very convincingly.

"What's wrong?"

"Um, nothing. It's nothing, really."

"Mmm."

Then she left looking unconvinced.

Milhouse's POV

I'm so late.

Ughh, why did I stay up so late last night!

I'm walking to Bart's house. My phone rings. I pick it up.

"Hello?" I say.

"Milhouse!" A squeaky voice says.

"Who is this?"

"Me, silly. Don't you remember? Samantha."

I gasp.

"Samantha? Why are you calling me?"

"I'm moving to Springfield High School THIS YEAR."

"Really? That's so cool."

"Milhouse, will you meet me at the park?"

"Um, I have to meet Bart. I can't. Sorry."

"Please, Milhouse. I wanted to tell you in person, but I still have feelings for you. Please meet me. Don't break my heart."

"Uh…okay. Fine."

I'm sorry Bart.

I turn around and walk toward the park.

I feel so bad.

I should turn around and go to Bart's. But, then I would break Samantha's heart. Ughh. I'll just go to the park. Tell Samatha how I feel then go to Bart's.

Good plan, Milhouse.

Good plan.

I arrive at the park. I see Samatha. She doesn't have braces anymore and is wearing a teal dress.

"Hi." I say awkwardly.

"Milhouse. I was worried you wouldn't show up."

"Um, Samatha. I was thinking about what you said and-"

"You were? Oh, Milhouse." She said and hugged me.

I pulled away from the hug and said, "I feel-"

Then my phone rang. It was Bart.

Eish! He's gonna be mad.
