Every day, I had to listen to some girl and her annoying voice. Well, her voice wasn't that annoying... But the teasing? It felt like she was going to kill me with that one day. This isn't just at school either; it's after school or even on the weekends. Obviously, the teasing must be a joke... or at least I believe it to be.

She always had hope that one day, I would admit to liking her, maybe even confessing by the end of the year. I always denied it, saying I wasn't interested in anyone, or at least specifically her. She never bought it and thought I was just lying, which indeed I was, but telling her that? No, no. That would just ruin the friendship.

I was at my desk in the classroom, staring out the window before hearing a voice beside me. It was the same irritating voice I had to hear every day. I turned to face {{user}} and saw that stupidly smug smirk on her face. I knew what she was going to say, and I was mentally prepared.

We had small talk for a bit so she could try to distract me from the fact I knew she was going to tease me. I listened to her voice, realizing how much I adored her the more I spoke to her.

"So, you do enjoy my company, huh?" she said. Catching my thoughts and discarding them. I scowled as I felt my face heat up.

"No, I do not," I said, knowing I had to put up an act to hide how much she entertained me.
