Molly: What are you talking about?
They were watching Adam who was setting up the camp.
Julie: You know what I mean. I'm referring to him- your new boyfriend.
Julie pointed her finger at Adam.
Molly: Stop doing that! He will notice you!
Molly blushed.
Julie: See what I mean? You're blushing! Oh my God! I'd never thought this would happen...!
Molly: What do you mean?
Julie: You're falling for him, aren't you?
Molly: You're talking nonesense.
Julie: Oh, am I? Then why do your eyes tail him whenever he is not close to you? Why do you always check him out? Why do you smile like a 9 year old girl who just got the biggest candy in the world when you look at him?
Molly: I did not do such thing!
Julie: Come on Mol.. We've been best friends since we were born! Don't lie to me..!
Molly: Well,he is kinda different. He's not like the others.
Julie: What do you mean?
Molly: He treats me nicely. He has never hurt my feelings. He's the first guy I met who weren't looking at my boobs. He is...nice, I suppose?
Julie: Oh come one! He is not just nice. You totally dig him, don't you?
Molly: Okay, but let this just be between of us okay? I don't want to freak him out.
Julie: I'm listening.
Molly: Well, whenever I'm with him, I don't feel invisible. Being around him makes me feel like I exist and I'm important. He looks at me in the eyes and he have that look. The look which no one have ever given to me before. I can be myself around him.
Julie: Wow. I knew this day would come but I didn't think it'd be this fast.
Molly: I know.. I never thought I'd ever feel this way. But you know what the real situation is. We're not even a real couple. We're just pretending.
Julie: Mol, I can see it in his eyes- you're all he's looking at. He's a decent guy, different from the ones you have dated before. It is not easy to find a noce guy like that. Don't let him go. Win his heart.
Molly: But, obviously I'm not his type! I mean look at him! He yearns for girls who have great ambitions, who is not a slut, perharps a virgin. His type of girl would be someone like Brooke. Brooke has it all. She's smart, disciplined, good-mannered, comes from a good background, stable. I'm not like her! I don't have the qualities.
Julie: OMG! Mol! You just sounded like my mother! All those trash talking about yourself! Come on, you're MOLLY! And the Molly that I've know pretty much my entire life doesn't give up easily, doesn't surrender to circumstances and most of all, believed in love. I still remember you saying that when Ms.Hinnigan, our English teacher asked you what you wanted to be. You said you wanted to be a housewife-to be loved and cared for. Where did it all go?
Molly: I don't know Jules.. I don't know. Yes, I do have feelings for him and he gives me this vibe and all but...
Julie: What's stopping you?
Molly: I'm scared. Being with him meaning I can be true to myself. But I hate that part. I feel so naked and exposed. He can see through me. I can't avoid it sometimes. It scares me to death! I don't want him to know Jules.. Not, he must never know!
Tears came out of Molly's eyes.
Julie: Okay... Relax.. Hey, don't cry now babe. It's okay now. I understand.. Hush.. I won't tell him. This is between the two of us.
Molly: Just between the two of us?
Julie: Yeah, just the two of us.
By then, Adam came running when he saw Molly was crying.
Adam: Hey, hey. What's wrong? Why is she crying Julie?
Julie: I'm not sure. Hey! Did you hear that? Luke is calling me! Adam, you take good care of Molly will you? I've got things to do.
Adam: Okay?
Julie stood up and left Molly in the hands of Adam. She whispered...
Julie: Yeah, I know you will take good care of Molly.
Adam: Molly, are you okay? Are you crying?
Molly: No, nothing. Why would I cry?
Molly tries to wipe out her tears. But Adam saw it.
Adam: Well, if that is not tears in your eyes then let us consider it as candies instead okay?
Molly chuckled. She hit Adam on the chest.
Adam: Ouch. That hurts.
Molly: Then stop those nonsense!
Adam: Shhh! Is that a laugh I'm hearing?
Molly: If I didn't know you any better, I would say you are flirting!
Adam: Flirting? Me? Are you sure? Wow. That would make Jane proud. Really.
Molly: And there you go again!
But Adam looked confused. He didn't understand why Molly said he was flirting.
Molly: Anyway, nice camp you set up there. And you said you were no good at this!
Adam: It's just a camp. Okay, don't look but why is everyone looking at us?
Molly: May be they're just jealous.
Adam: Of what?
Molly smiled. She leaned over to Adam, stopping him from getting up. Adam was surprised. He blinked, twice. Their eyes were gazing into each others. With a soft look, Molly went near Adam. She brushed her cheek upon his. Their foreheads were against each others. Their noses met.
