Crushes & Cake
~~~~
Gilbert smiles at the camera, “the other day was Lutz’s birthday! He had a good time, his friend Alfred came over and Grandfather helped them bake a cake!” He laughs, “it was actually an awesome cake. Grandfather’s good at baking and Lutz likes everything to be just right.”
Gilbert continues to talk, “Alfred’s older brother Matthew also came over, he’s my age and he’s really nice. I know he’s in my English class but we never talk really. We played some video games and he beat me at Mario Kart! I never lose at Mario Kart!” He crosses his arms and sighs, “though I just play against Francis mostly and Francis sucks at video games.”
“Maybe I need to play video games with more people besides Francis. Like Mathias!” He grins, “oh yeah! I never told you about the study date! It was nice, Mathias and I got our play written, he liked all of my ideas! And I was right, he did an awesome job as Macbeth!” He props his chin up on his hand and laughs, “he also said that I did a really good job too. And he added a part where Macbeth kisses Lady Macbeth’s cheek. I didn’t think it made a lot of sense to the story or scene but he explained how it fit in and I think it worked out alright.”
“He kissed my cheek too! It was weird, I don’t know if I liked it because it made me feel really nervous and he let me hold his hands after which was nice actually.” Gilbert sighs, “I think that Francis is right, I do have a crush. Mathias is just really nice and he’s so friendly and I want to hang out with him more! Maybe I should invite him over for video games. We still have some leftover cake.”
He turns to look at the clock on the wall behind him, “I’m going to ask Grandfather if I can invite Mathias over for the afternoon! Sincerely, Gilbert! I’ll tell you all about it later, okay?”
Gilbert smiles brightly as his computer before the camera clicks off.
