"Liv, are you ok?" Ruth asked me.

Stace was playing around with my hair. Just putting it in pigtails, and then braiding them. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Girl, there is something wrong! There has to be!" Sandy said.

I looked at all my Whosers friends. I then just burst into tears. I couldn't believe I was crying.

"Ok, now I absolutely KNOW that there is something wrong." Emma said. I nodded my head.

"Is it Ryan or Diedrich?" Sandy asked me.

"Sort of. They aren't the BIG problem." I said.

"Ok... Let's see..." Sandy said, getting out some type of organizer. She read down all the possible suggestions of why I was so upset. "Jealousy, you have a thirst for them, you hate them (Even though I KNOW that's not it!)..." Sandy read. She read until she got to the very last suggestion. She nearly fell over. "T-This Can't be right!" She said. She looked up at me. Now everyone had to know what was going on. I was nodding. Stace dropped the 3rd braid she was working on, to go and look at the notebook. Everyone all gasped and looked up at me.

"You're in love with Ryan?" Sandy said to me. I nodded.

"I think I am." I said.

"Are you going to tell him?" Aaron asked me.

"That's just the thing! I don't know if I should!" I exclaimed.

"What about Diedrich?" Jamie asked me.

"Well, I have a crush on him. I'm not IN LOVE with him." I said.

"Oh, sure. So those romantic dreams about Diedrich were just for show." Sandy said sarcastically. I laughed.

"We have to get ready! Ryan's picking us up for the Olive Garden in an hour!" Gail said, looking at her watch.

Me and Sandy looked at each other and shrieked. We were saying at the same time: "No! I don't know what to wear! How is my hair gonna be done?!" We looked at each other and then laughed. We got ready.

**1 hour and 10 min. later at the Olive Garden**

"Are you having fun?" Ryan asked me. I nodded. I was twisting my breadstick nervously. Sandy and Amanda caught me.

"Liv, something's wrong!" Sandy said.

"There is?" I said.

"Yeah. There is. It has something to do with the toilet!" Amanda said. I giggled.

"Dude, we're serious!" Sandy said. I caught on.

"Oh. The toilet exploded. You see, my dad's a janitor. Like Lewis Kiniski. If I something happens with a toilet, I know how. Heh Heh." I said laughing nervously.

"Yes, and it's a BIG emergency!" Sandy and Amanda said, tugging on the sleeve of my dress. I suddenly fell over. Ruth burst out laughing. She covered her mouth up. Stace and Emma were shaking with laughter. I got up. "I'm okay! Bye!" I said, running. Ryan shook his head, but smiled.

**In the bathroom**

"Have you told him yet?" Amanda asked me.

"No! Quit Pressuring me!" I said.

"Well, you have to tell him somehow." Sandy said. I sighed.

"I know. I just don't know how." I said. We went out of the bathroom.

"That was quick." Ryan said.

"Um... the toilet wasn't clogged. It just looked that way!" I said quickly.

"Oh." Ryan said.

I went back to twisting my breadstick. Sandy mouthed "Tell him." I sighed. My stomache was doing somersaults.

"Ok... Ryan, I got to tell you something." I said. Sandy and Amanda told everyone to leave. They knew what was coming. "Um... I don't know what's going to happen when I say this. But..." The words came out slowly. "Ryan I think that I really, really, really like you." I said. I prayed that Ryan wouldn't get mad at me. I looked straight at him.

"It's ok." He said, and smiled.

"It is?" I squeaked. He nodded.

"I've dealt with much worse than that." He said. He added a grin.

I smiled back at him. "Well at least you're not mad." I said.

"Why would I be mad?" Ryan asked. "You're being honest. I like that." He said.

'Phew' I thought to myself. "I wouldn't know why you would be mad." I said. Ryan hugged me. And I hugged him back.
