Hate

\\

"I hate you."

"I hate you too."

"What?"

"Well, you've been hating me since we met, so I thought I'd give it a try."

"So you're gonna try just hating me now?"

"Yep."

"Okay."

"Why you sounding so uneasy there Pumpkin head?"

"If you hate me you should stop with the nicknames."

"Well you see nicknames work both ways seeing as you hated them before I stared hating you."

"Okay then."

"Hey wildcat?"

"God can't you just disappear?"

"Nah, hating you turned out to be harder than I thought."

"You couldn't hate me for more than 60 seconds?"

"How could I, your so perfect."

"Ugh, get away from me."

"You know you love me."

"Why in the world would you ever assume that?"

"I'm not assuming pumpkin, I know."

"Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"When I do you always look so lonely."

"Stalker."

"I find that a bit rude."

"Hmph."

"Well when you realize you like me, I'll be in the arcade."

"How do you know that I'd like you so soon?"

"Because you're already thinking about it now."

"Am not."

"Are too. See you round Pumpkin."

"…"

"What the hell, I do not like you!"

But he was long gone. She grabbed her stuff from the corner of the cement building.

"Do I?"
