Micky sat at chair listening as Jennifer went on and on about a book she had read.
Someone put hit me with a hammer and put me out of my misery. he thought wearily.
It had been about a week since Davy's outburst. Micky felt bad for hurting his friends like that. But none of them understood how he felt. Davy was the cute and charming one. Mike was the strong and smart one. Peter was the sweet and sensitive one.
And I'm the clown. he thought feeling horrible.
It didn't matter anymore. He had Jennifer with her long red hair and green eyes. As long as he had Jennifer he was fine. But Davy's words kept echoing in his brain.
Why do you have to pretend?
"So what do you think?" Jennifer asked.
"Huh?"
"About the book?"
"Oh um I agree with everything you just said." Micky said nervously.
"You know I've grown to really like you again. You're serious now. Which is what I like." Jennifer snuggled up againest him.
"That's me now. Mr.Serious." Micky grinned as he kissed her cheek.
