Jimmy's Perspective

Warning: This is very rushed and not greatly written, I am sorry

December 1st, Saturday-

"You know? I think I finally got over Scott." Jimmy said.

Lizzie almost dropped the plate she was washing.

"What?!" She exclaimed.

She and Jimmy were doing their chore of cleaning dishes.

It was a nice, Sunday afternoon at the beginning of December.

"I'm sorry, did you just tell me that Scott, the guy you've been crushing on for months now, is now just a friend of yours?"

Jimmy nodded, "I think so, yeah."

Lizzie shook her head, "I don't believe it."

Jimmy shrugged, "Fine; don't then."

"Just- what makes you think you don't like him anymore?"

"Well, it's not like we're ever gonna get together. I don't have a chance, he doesn't like me."

"Did he tell you this or...?"

"I'm just assuming."

"I feel like Scott likes you."

Jimmy scoffed, "Come on, Liz. You've seen him around me, we're just friends."

Lizzie shrugged, "I think you have a chance."

Jimmy shook his head.

"Come on, why not ask him if he likes you?"

"No!" Jimmy shouted, blushing.

Lizzie smirked, "There it is."

"Shut up!" Jimmy said, turning away.

Lizzie giggled, "Come on, you still like him."

"But..." Jimmy sighed, "I really wanna get over him. I can't deal with this anymore! We're meant as friends and that's it. I can't still like him."

"Jim, you have a chance with him, I know you do."

Jimmy shook his head.

They finished cleaning the dishes and walked up to Jimmy's room.

As they were doing that, Jimmy got an idea.

He froze on the stairs.

That might just work.

"Jim, you gonna move or am I gonna have to drag you up the stairs?" Lizzie asked.

Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Sorry, I just got an idea."

"Oh yeah? What is it?"

"I just have to get rejected."

Now it was Lizzie's turn to freeze.

"I'm sorry?" She asked, sitting down on Jimmy's bed.

"I just have to tell Scott I like him, have him reject me, and then yeah! I'll be able to get over him!"

"Jimmy, I don't think this is how you want to do this."

"What other choice do I have?"

Lizzie bit her lip and then sighed, "I just think you're gonna get your heartbroken."

"You were literally just talking about how I had a chance with Scott."

"You're just going too fast."

Jimmy shook his head as he took out his phone and called Scott.

"I know exactly what I'm doing."

Scott's Perspective-

Scott jumped as his phone rang.

He stopped drawing and smiled as he saw Jimmy was calling him.

"Hey Jim!"

"Er- hey Scott!"

"Everything okay? Or have you just called to wish a very early Merry Christmas?"

Jimmy laughed and said, "I was actually calling to say something else."

"Oh? What's up?"

Jimmy took a deep breath.

"I like you. Now, before you say anything, please just listen. I know you don't like me back, but I just needed to say this for you to reject me and make it easier for me to get over you and...yeah, well you get the point."

Scott froze, blinking, his heart beating fast.

"I'm really sorry, I don't wanna ruin anything between us. I know we're probably better as friends anyway! So yeah, I just...I like you, Scott. For a while now. I just needed to get this off of my chest to get over you."

They fell into silence.

"Scott?"

"Er- y-yeah! Sorry, I just...zoned out for a bit there." Scott laughed awkwardly.

"But...er- you- you like me?" Scott asked.

"Uh- yeah but I know you don't- "

"Because I'm not really sure how I feel."

Silence.

"S-sorry?" Jimmy asked.

"I just...I...could I get back to you?"

Jimmy froze, blinking, "Er- y-yeah! Sure!"

"O-okay, well, er- see you later then."

"Yeah! Bye."

Jimmy's Perspective-

Jimmy hung up, blush on his face.

"What? Did he say that he liked you back?" Lizzie asked eagerly.

Jimmy shook his head, silent.

"Well? What'd he say then?"

"I- he said he had to think about it."

Lizzie smirked, "I knew you had a chance with him."

"Right before I called him you said that you were worried about me."

"That was then, this is now."

Jimmy giggled, trying to calm down his beating heart.

Maybe he did have a chance.
