Paul was dealing with a crisis. The new girl Linda in class really liked him a lot. Paul was not happy
about it.
Paul's good friend, Sam, tried to comfort him. "What's the big deal? I think Linda is kind of cute and
nice enough."
Paul glared at Sam. "Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by
herself at the other end of the cafeteria. Go there and ask her to be your honey!"
"She's crazy about you, not me," Sam replied.
"Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a girl like her! "Paul growled.
Sam wouldn't give up. "The only thing pesky (讨厌的) about her is that she keeps writing you those
notes ."
"I don't like notes at all!" Paul interrupted. He took another sip of milk.
"Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren't they normal red or pink?"
Sam took another look at Linda. "I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly
hair is quite pretty. Besides, she's very gentle and that's what really matters."
Paul stuck out his tongue. "I think I'm going to be sick! I'd better save my dessert for later." He
crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket. "The fact is, I have a
problem. That girl is getting on my nerves! "
Sam followed Paul's example and decided to save his dessert for later. However, he carefully placed
the bag into his lunch box. "Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?" Sam asked.
"I'm going to be mean and rude to her," Paul announced. "I'll call her names and make ugly faces at
her."
"That's how you treat everyone," Sam reminded his friend.
Paul nodded. "It's time that Linda got to know the real Paul!"
