Connor was once again in his room. He had earphones in and didn't hear when Zoe walked in. She silently sat beside him on the bed, as if waiting for him to notice her. His sister's expression was flat. Connor had noticed her, he was just ignoring her. "Okay so," Zoe began, turning to face him. "What the hell is going on between you and Michael?" Connor felt himself blush but he didn't answer. Of people he could tell, Zoe was the person he wanted to tell the least. He had known he'd have to tell someone eventually.

"I-i don't know what you're talking about," he answered her. F**k! I stammered! He mentally cursed.

"C'mon Connie." Connor audibly hissed at the nickname. "When you're with him, it's the happiest I've ever seen you be," Zoe explained. "So, tell me. Connor do you know how red your face is now?" Zoe didn't need to tell him that he was blushing, he felt his cheeks burning.

"I don't really know what you want to know," he said trying to throw the subject off. This made Zoe come closer to him and put her face close to his, her gaze hard and clearly not taking any of Connor's lies.

"C'mon Con," she said. "I'm your sister, you can tell me." Great, she's trying to persuade me. Connor took his earphones out. Well, if it'll get her to stop.

"Zo, if I tell you this you've got to promise to keep it secret," he answered eventually. Zoe blinked and backed off, her gaze losing its hardness.

"Sure. But it doesn't mean I won't tease you about it," she smirked on the last sentence and Connor merely sighed. He shifted into a more upright position, laying down his phone next to him on his bed. Connor took a breath.

"I think I may have a... a..." he had a hard time saying the word for some reason. Connor glanced at Zoe.

"A crush?" Zoe added, guessing what Connor was having a hard time saying. Zoe was looking at him, no smirk, nothing. Then a smile grew on her face. "Oh Connie! That's so cute!"

"Please don't say it's cute-" Connor tried adding on but his sister cut him off. He'd visibly cringed at the use of 'Connie' again.

"It's Michael, isn't it? That's why you're always so happy with him? It is him, isn't it?" Connor didn't answer, looking shy, a expression he didn't usually wear, and a bright blush on his face. He didn't think Zoe needed an answer when he saw her expression. "Oh my God, Connor! It is really cute that you have a crush! I was here thinking you couldn't have one but yet, here we are!" Connor was pretty sure his face grew more red.

"This is all new to me... I've never felt like this before," he admitted.

"Aha! So he's your first!" She clapped loud enough that it could alert their parents. Connor just merely looked up at her with an awkward expression.

"I don't even know when it started," he said with a slight nervous giggle.

"Well, I wouldn't worry about that," said Zoe, dismissing his statement. "Now, you need to find out if Michael has a crush on you!"

"Please don't tell you're going to set me up with him."

"Don't you want him to be your boyfriend?"

"Well... yeah, but..."

"Then, find out if he likes you."
