“So he wants to talk to you tonight?” my best friend, Megan, asked. “Yep, he said it was about ‘us’!” She was helping me to get ready for tonight. I had to say I was pretty excited! I wonder what he was going to say. Would it be like old times? I was outside sitting on my steps with Megan at 6:20. It is just my nature to be on time. 6:30…6:45…”Maybe he forgot my address,” I said hopefully. “Yeah, of course, that’s it!” she didn’t sound too convinced. 7:00…7:30… _Was this all a joke to him? Did he stand me up? And to think I had been so excited._ 8:00..Megan left…8:45…9:00…I gave up and went inside. _I am going to talk to him tomorrow._ Megan caled at 10:00 only to hear that he hadn’t shown up. The next day, I walked straight to him and stood right by his locker. “Hey, I waited for you until 9:00 last night. Did you forget?” I said loudly. He slammed his locker and walked away from me. _Just like that, it felt like being stood up, but worse._ 2008-04-15T00:23:46Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26604 <p>awwww why&#8217;d he do that?</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26604?basename=56459 2008-04-15T00:23:46Z howhardlifeis http://ficlets.com/authors/dinasahm
