Chapter 27: Please Naomi
The way his face shone red like a ripe tomotoe and the way his eyes darted to and fro in nervousness made her think he was just too cute to ignore.
"H..h..hi." He stuttered and backed away when she came close. She stopped and hid a smile.
"I’m sorry am I intruding?" She pretended to sound sorry and hurt by his actions.
Regretting the fact that he backed away like she was a pestering bug, he quickly replied while coming close to her, waving his hands in the air.
"N..no no. Infact I love your company..." He blushed at his words, especially when a sweet smile broke out on her face. "N...no...I mean..."
"No? So you hate my company?" She finished for him. She knew it wasn’t what he meant but she couldn’t help but want to tease him the more.
Another round of stuttering ensued.
She suddenly giggled and he reddened again, all the while complimenting himself in his head, giving himself a pat on the back for making her laugh like John had made her. Maybe he was close to making her like him?
"So what are your ideas for a fun filled field activity today. I’m thinking tug-of-war. What about you?" Her voice was enthusiastic as she forced him to start a conversation with her while he just wanted to hide under a rock.

Why does she talk so much, she thought.
