GOD! I hate short chapters, but I didn't know what to put or much. So sorry, the next chapter will be better, promise.

Tori had her head resting on her desk, she was playing with the clicking pen that laid next to her. She had a headache from lots of people bothering her, and after thinking of what happened yesterday, her and her old boyfriend, best friends since kindergarten, are now fighting and against each other. When she was younger, she would of never wanted to fight, but to always worked together. She closed her eyes for a minute...

"So who visited you yesterday?" one of Once-ler's workers asked, "You seemed so off after she left." "She, she's an old friend." he simply said with a sigh.

Tori was 13 and he was 14, they've been best friends for about eight years. But now, Tori realized she had, feelings for him. But she didn't know if he had the same for her. She didn't have many other friends, she wasn't like them, they were girly, she wasn't. So he couldn't have a friend find out, she was gonna have to do it herself.

"Once-ler..." Tori said while walking to him, she was clearly nervous.

"Is everything alright?" Once-ler asked looking up from his lunch. He was sitting outside, leaning up against the tree that was planted a few years ago.

"I don't know." she said, sitting next to him.

"Well what's wrong?" Once-ler asked handing her some marshmallows.

"Well..." she started, she didn't want to say she liked him, yet, "I like this guy."

"Well what's holding you back?" Once-ler asked.

"I don't known if he likes me back." Tori said looking Once-ler, then down at his offering of marshmallows, and took them.

"Why wouldn't he, is the question. You're an amazing friend and person." Once-ler said, Tori wanted him to continue, but he stopped.

"Thanks. I'll be right back." Tori said as she got up, and left. She walked around the tree and came back around, she tapped Once-ler's shoulders.

"Don't be nervous, go ask." Once-ler said.

"Oncie. I like you." Tori said, she saw Once-ler's face go red a bit, and he smiled. "Want to go out?" Tori finished, with a sigh, and waited for his reply.

"Yes."
