“Trey Strong!â€? I gushed, blowing out her eardrums through the phone.

“Oh.â€? the change in her voice was not what I was planning for at all.

“So, I’m guessing you’re not excited?â€? My heart was beginning to return to normal at this news.

“He’s a jerk, Kit. You know that.â€? I could see her smiling now, thinking that she knows everything and I’m just…so utterly lost.

“Yeah, well he’s hot. What does it matter?â€? I was probably channeling the inner mean side of myself, but oh well. Plus, this was probably making her feel better about herself.

And I’m the one that wonders how or why we’re friends at all.

“Just…just try not to go crazy or anything.â€? Melissa sighed on the other end.

“What are you talking about? Be excited for me!â€?

“Well I’m sorry I’m not. I got to go. Love ya, bye.â€? And then the line went dead. Hmmm, that was strange, I thought to myself.

Still, I wasn’t about to be letting anything get me gloomy before tomorrow’s date. I had to be perfect tomorrow night.
