I lied...

Even if you don't like my work, I'm going to keep writing...
We clear on that?
Good...

So...
Here's my take on a classic, haha...

A boy and a girl sat down for lunch. They were friends, but no more than that; they'd known each other since they were in kindergarten, and had a very easy rapport with one another. Today, however, the girl was suspiciously silent, and finally the boy had to ask what was wrong. The girl only smiled and shook her head. He couldn't fix her problem, she told him. Why not? he demanded...
He took her words as a challenge, and pushed his lunch aside to focus on her. He was up for anything, he boasted, and could fix her problem in a flash. Though doubtful, she nodded and began to explain. She'd fallen in love with an old friend, but didn't know how to broach the subject with him. Well, that's easy, he scoffed, and began listing ideas she could use, but she shook her head...
The problem was, she said, that she knew for sure he didn't feel the same way, so it was better if she just let her feelings take a backseat to their friendship. The boy grew angry and scowled. He would show that dumb guy, he said. How stupid could he be not to love her? You don't love me, she pointed out with a small smile, and he frowned. Of course I do, he said...
Did she really think he'd eat lunch with her every day if he didn't? She laughed and shook her head in disbelief, but couldn't help her response. I love you too. Right, he nodded, so if you can tell me, why can't you tell him? Her smile grew more pronounced and she replied, I just did...

Now that, I admit is not quite original.
But it's well-written either way, and if I can do that on the fly, then the stuff I really try for is all the better, right?
So please, support me...
And if you're nice, I might even dedicate something to you!! =]

Love you all, hope life's treating you right...
