Amanda

Mason: Hey Amanda! What’s going on? What are you…just hanging out?

Amanda: Oh was that too much? Oh I’m sorry. We’re friends. I’m sorry.

Mason: Don’t let me interrupt…

Amanda: So what’s going on?

Mason: I just kinda finished a date.

Amanda: A what?

Mason: Well I met this girl Hilary…

Amanda: A girl?

Mason: She works at the Hot Dog on a Stick. I mean, I tell ya…

Amanda: Are you serious?

Mason: ...I know she looks kinda lame, but uh, you see her out of that uniform. Whoa-oh-ho. Man.

Amanda: Is she a hot dog on a stick?

Mason: I didn’t think of that, but yeah, she is one hot dog. Uh…

Amanda: So what do you like about her? Is she smart? Good with her hands?

Mason: You know, like, she’s got really good hair. She’s blond. Really pretty.

Amanda: I…I have great hair.

Mason: Yeah, you do have great hair. You know…

Amanda: Did you say she was skinny?

Mason: Yeah, I mean, you know. I didn’t really notice…

Amanda: As opposed to…me?

Mason: She’s not fat or anything. I guess she kinda looks a lot like you.

Amanda: But skinny?

Mason: A lot like you.

Amanda: Are you gonna call her?

Mason: Well totally. I mean, I’m kinda…like how long should I wait? What’s the appropriate amount of time? Like two days?

Amanda: I think I heard, like friend to friend…is girls don’t like being called.

Mason: I should wait for her to call me?

Amanda: Yeah.

Mason: You sure?

Amanda: Totally. I wouldn’t steer you wrong. You’re my friend.

Mason: You give it to me straight so that’s totally what…

Amanda: Oh, I’d give it to you…

Discussion

Mason sits down next to Amanda and she tries to cuddle with him a little. Mason is surprised and she backs off saying, “We’re friends.”

He begins telling her about a date he went on with a girl named Hilary who works at a hot dog stand. Amanda jokingly asks if she’s a hot dog, meaning, “Is she attractive?”

Mason says that she is and he begins to describe her. He says he likes her hair, but for some reason Amanda asks if he said she’s skinny. Could Amanda be insecure about her weight? That would be crazy! Look how thin she is.

Then Amanda tells Mason that even though he likes Hilary, he shouldn’t call her. It’s terrible advice. She’s trying to sabotage Mason’s relationship with Hilary. But Mason trusts her and says he won’t call her.

What do you think is going to happen to Amanda and Mason? Do you think he’ll ever notice that she likes him? Have you ever liked someone who didn’t realize it? Watch this soap opera unfold every Tuesday right here on Ebaby!

i think the best thing is being honest,at first with yourself and others,but i can feel its a really complicated situation for amanda,....

Well Amanda is not the kind of bold girl who easily confess to the guy she have feelings to … But I think Mason is domb headed , he should have realized that Amanda likes him by the way she commulicate with him.. look at the way that she talks to him, how jealous she was .. but for me I am kind of girl who would confess to my crush immediately if he confess to me first,but sometimes I am oblivious about him's feelings.. these might make him feel frustrated about our relationship sometimes.

I think Amanda should tell Mason that she has a crush on him, but she shouldn’t steer him wrong. Being a good friend of Mason, she should lie to him to sabotage Mason’s relationship with another girl.
