Love Games



Jen and Matt had been going out for a long time. It was young love, the best kind. They were both still in high school and as in love as ever.


One day, before the school bell rang in indication for the beginning of classes, Jen and Matt were being silly. Really silly They were flirting, and playing around at the same time. Zoe, Jen's best friend, saw the whole thing.


It all began when Matt accidentally nudged Jen a bit too hard on the arm, and then everything unfolded from there.


Jen would run in circles around Zoe, Matt chassing her the whole time. "No!" Jen weould scream playfully. "Don't come near me!" "Ok." Matt would say in mock anger. "I won't." He would say and walk off. He'd coming running back 5 minutes later, a mock sad look on his face. "I can't live without you." He would say, hugging Jen tight. They would then kiss and make up.


About three minutes later, the whole thing would repeat itself. Zoe ended up standing back, against a brick wall one time. To get out of their way. After all, she didn't want to be knocked over. Or hit.


"And in three, two one." Zoe glanced up her watch and then up at Jen and Matt again. Sure enough, they haad begun another round of the love game.


"What's going on here?" Mia, Zoe and Jen's other best friend asked, rushing towards Zoe when she arrived. "Jen and Matt are being stiupid." Zoe explained. "Right." Mia agreed, observing the scene in front of them. "Hey? what?" Jen turned to Zoe and Mia. "We heard our names." Matt said. Well that had certainly got their attention. Zoe decided to put that in the back of her mind to use later. "Nothing, nothing." Zoe said "No, we heard our names. Now what was it?" Jen asked. "It's ok. Npothing bad." Mia reasoned. "Ok." JEn finally agreed.


Matt and Jen played love games often. But in the future, Zoe knew to just watch and laugh as they frollicked and played in the sun.


They looked like a fairytale, playing love games like that. Like two people so much in love, nothing could ever break it. Well, that was Zoe's opinion anyway. She didn't know about the rest of the world, but to her that was just how Jen and Matt looked.
