I don't get what I love about him. I just do., chapter 1

I got out of bed only because I forgot to close the curtains last night, so now I have the sun gleaming in my eyes. I stood up itching my eye with my left hand, and closed the curtain with my right. I scuffled to my bathroom only to reveal my hair in knots and eyeliner smuge under my eyes. Someone always knocks on the door when you look your worst. I grabbed a brush off of the counter and ran it through my hair. I took a wash cloth and ran it under hot water. I rubbed it underneath my eyes, I didn't realize how hard I was scrubbing. My eyes were blaring red. I took some foundation and put some on my face, I put some eyeliner on and then ran for the door. Knocks rang out again just before I pulled open the door.

"Jeeze lady, what takes you so long?"

It was only Tre. I thought it might have been Billie but I guess I lucked out. Tre plopped down on my couch and grabbed the remote to the TV. He flicked it on and flipped through the channels.

"What is everyone doing?"

"Don't you mean what is Billie doing?"

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Oh, ok, so we're going to play that game, anyways..."

"No, what are you talking about?!"

"Nothing, I'll play along with you."

"Tre!"

"Samantha look, I know you have a little crush on Billie, I'm not that stupid."

I sat right next to Tre on the couch, feeling like a complete idiot.

"No, I don't, prove it."

"Ok, you remember the time we were sitting in class and Billie walked in late?"

"Yeah, he always comes in late."

"Uhh yeah, anyways, you looked up at him and started drooling."

"I DID NOT!"

"Yes you did, I told you to keep your spit in your mouth."

"I WAS SLEEPING IN CLASS I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO!"

"Why do you keep telling me to tell you these things and then you never admit to them?"

"What color is Billie's pencil?"

"Well, he always forgets it and then goes to his locker and then...wait, THAT ISN'T FAIR!"

"Sure Sam."

Tre looked away from me and stopped on the Flavor of Love.

"Ugh, not New York again!"

"Tre?"

Tre looked over at me with a bored look on his face.

"What Samantha?"

"Please, please don't tell him please, I just want to wait for the right time to tell him myself."

"Don't tell him what?"

"Tre knock it off, I know you know."

"I know you know I know."

Tre laughed and shook his head. I hope that meant that he wouldn't tell Billie.
