“Why did you do that?” asked Maria. We were at lunch and she was still a little mad, about somthing…
“Do what?” I asked. There was always something I did wrong.
“You stole Jake from me!”
“No I didn’t. He just said hi to me, that’s all.” Maybe she was right, for once. Maybe he was sort of into me.
“No! Oh no! It was more than that!”
“What could you possibly mean?”
“Today in math class he kept asking about you! What do you know about Jacqueline? I she fun to hang around with? How come her teeth are perfectly strait?” Whoa. He was asking about me? How could this be? It only took five minutes and now I’m all that’s on his mind? Welcome to my world, Jake.
“Sorry?” I asked. I wasn’t really sorry. I didn’t even try to impress him.
“Well, sometimes sorry isn’t good enough!” Maria got up and left me there. All alone. What ever. Was she really a great friend? Then someone slid into the seat across from me. Oh no. It was Jake.
“Hi, Jacqueline,” he said.
“Hey, Jake,”. What now??
