“Don’t touch ME!” she screamed, her voice hoarse from sobbing.1
“Ky, please. . . what’s wrong? What’s been going on with you lately?” I asked, allowing my fear and concern to show through my words. I rested an arm around her shoulder and fought her gently as she tried to struggle away. 2
“Nothing’s wrong Benh. Absolutely nothing is going on,” Ky mumbled, letting the end of each word drift of into tears. “That’s part of the problem.”3
I almost didn’t catch the last part of that due to her turning her head and whispering it into her shoulder. “Come on, don’t lie to me. We’ve always told each other everything, we can’t stop now.” I let my own voice trail off as I studied the dirty blond hair drift across her sun-kissed cheeks. 4
“Nothings right, everything’s wrong. I can’t seem to do anything right anymore. Everything I do pisses my parents off, I’m stressed about school, and friends, and everything in general,” A new string of sobs carried her words away. “And. . .”5
“And?” I queried, glad that I had at least gotten her talking. I had known she was stressed about school, but the whole parental pressure seemed to be taking everything a bit far. I squeezed her shoulder tightly in a reassuring manner.6
“Nothing. It’s stupid. Just forget it.” She shook her head as if trying to shake away the remnants of what she had begun to say. 7
“Ky,” I said warningly.8
Ky sighed quietly and it was as if I could see the breath escaping from between her slightly parted lips. “It’s just. . . well you see, . . . there’s this guy,” she let those last words out in a rush, glad to be free of them. She glanced up and her crystalline blue eyes met the brown murk of mine. It seemed that contact gave her confidence and she continued. “He doesn’t seem to know I exist, at least not as anything more than just a friend. I don’t know if there could ever be anything between us, but there seems to be some sort of connection between us.” (side note: oh shit and this is where I realized what it seems I’m writing about. . . . I swear it started out with nothing to do with that!!! until I rethought the color of the eyes just now. . . [this is mainly for Sally’s benefit]) 9
“Ky,” I whispered quietly, drawing her attention. I gazed into her eyes for a moment and then I leaned forward and kissed her. Her lips melted against mine, a velvety softness I never wanted to release. But I did for just a moment to say, “I feel the same way.”10
Author notes
. . . god it started out so differently, and then at the very end there it clicked *shakes head* I'm not that obsessed I swear. (those of you who know will know what I'm talking about.) Sorry bout that, it really wasn't supposed to be like that. . . it was supposed to be just two friends and then all this stuff developed and happened and yeah. . .

nice
aww. Cute. Watch me grin and cry it's so damn cute. You are very talented. It reminded me of the coffee house by my house. Good job -
You are so talented. This was the quickest character development I have read in any posting online to date. I feel like I know who these two would be if I saw them at a coffee shop. Very impressed!

Subconscious Speaks Here
So is this how you express your desire for a boyfriend?? You have an issue, express it in words and then can't tell me and you make me worry only to be proved right!!! What is this world coming to? Am I the last (only) sane person on earth? (obviously yes) But I worried about you because you've seemed distant lately, like somebody put out your party. Bad example but I have to comment on the fact that your writing is really amazing(duh knew that)
: And I am here if you need to talk, also I laughed when your story totally twisted, it almost felt like my life except she got the guy and that never works for me 
Anyhow I guess that is all for know and if you do the math you will laugh at what time it is as I type this, somehow it really is funny 
C'ya later!!
