“Yes I care!” I said.”Your like my best friend!” Joe smiled.
“It was just a crush, your awesome!” I felt relieved.
“I understand. Before I met you guys I had a crush on you, not Nick!” Should I have said that? It didn’t matter because Nick was mine now!

“Yeah, totally!” Then, Joe stopped dead in his tracks.
“Stay still!” he whispered.
“Why?” I whispered back.

I had no time to look back because in a split second I fell into the pool. I came up to surface screaming.
“IS IT GONE ? IS IT GONE ?”
“Yeah, there wasn’t any bug. This trick always works!” I couldn’t do anything but laugh at a time like this. Joe and I were cool again. Finally.
