.After receiving his

>and kissed her!) and was preventing doing so by
>blaming herself for the whole kissing scene that had

>his hand over his forehead and the pinched lines that
>had formed on it. He didn't know what to say... He was
>too confused about it all to say anything. Slowly but
>surely, his shy-sheilds were creeping back up on him.
>I mean, God, he couldn't even look at her right now,
>because he knew it'd be awkward. The thing he wanted
>to do most right now, was stand up like a little 3
>year old kid and run te hell out of here. He'd make it
>too, and she -- or anyone else -- wouldn't catch
>him... He'd be home free after a few extentions of his
>muscle-packed legs. Yes, our Liam was a speedy boy.
>Because of the speed he owned, it had been another

>But, alas, he wasn't going anywhere. Liam was staying
>put right now, because -- despite what he or Tex had
>done or hadn't done -- he wanted to be friends with
>her, and running out on her was definetly a
>unfriend-ish thing to do. Although he hadn't noticed
>yet, ice-cream was dripping down the cone and onto his
>hand, spreading it's sickly sweet and blue-dyed liquid
>all over his gripping fingers. Liam probably wouldn't
>notice, as observant as he was -- ice-cream melting
>all over him was not the concern, talking to Tex --
>was. Slowly, his lips opened just as the decision to
>bypass answering Tex's last remark arose like a
>tidal-wave within his head. His shy, and often
>low-toned voice spilled over his toungue, which felt
>clumsy and new; almost un-used... "I'll see about that
>water-girl position, even though I'm pretty sure they
>use guys. 'Coach says that the girls always get
>distracted." Summing up a large amount of strength, he
>lifted his eyes to scan her features for a moment, and
>then quickly flashed her a grin. They were friends,
>and friends got other stupid things other friends
>did... And Liam hoped to hell that they'd get over
>this, because his supply of friends was done to one.
>And that one's name was Tex Macbride.
