Beep Beep I reached into my pocket.
New Text Message. Flashed across the screen.
“Dude I need help outside the school, hurry. -Louie.”
I turned to Cassie. “Uh I got to go outside for a second, you know your way there?”
“No, but i’ll find it.”
“Haha sorry i’ll see you in a bit.” I ran out the door.
Where R U ? I texted back.
Behind the school.
I ran to the back and saw Louie leaning against his car.
“You have got to be kidding me.” I walked up to him. “I thought you were in a fight or something.”
“No, I need backup.”
“For what?”
“I’m meeting Christina out here, and i need you to back me up.”
“Why weren’t you in Chem”
“Shh she’s coming now.”
We turned away.
“Now what do you want?” She crossed her arms. “Hey Adam.”
“Hey.” I backed up a little.
“Why’d you do that to me?” Louie asked.
“Do what?”
“Lead me on, and then go out with some freak.”
“I do not know what you’re talking about.”
“At the party, you hook up with me, and then ditch me?”
“Actually i believe you left first.”
“Not what i mean.”
