Flirting

“So, who do you like?” Alex asked.
I looked at her, she wasn’t messing with me.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
It’s Alex, you idiot! ALEX !
“Who do you like?” She asked again.
“I’m not telling you who it is.”
“Yeah you will.”
“No, I won’t.”
She touched my shoulder.
Whoa! Is she flirting with me?!
Tell me.” Alex persited
“Why do you want to know?” I asked.
She seemed at a loss for words.
“Do you-” I asked, but Alex knew what I was getting at.
“No. I don’t like you.”
Then why were you flirting with me?
I cleared my throat.
“Oh well.” I muttered.
“What did you say?” Alex asked.
“Nothing.”
“What did you say?”
“Why does it matter?!”
Alex stared at me, then changed the subject.
“What if I liked you?”
“Uhhhh.” I stammered. “It would be….”
“Awesome” I muttered a little louder.
“What?” Alex asked.
“I think you heard me.”
“I did.”
