I recognized that voice anywhere. I turned around to see Jake leaning against his locker.
“Hey Jake! uh- nothing you?” I said, not realizing I was blushing.
He laughed, “Same. My weekend was pretty boring.” He said, joining us walking. “Who’s going suicidal about what now?”
“You eavesdropper!” I teased. “Ha, it was nothing. I think Anne just had too much candy this morning.”
“Oh. uh- should I be scared?” He said, looking over me to face Anne.
“Noooooo….” she said, nodding vigorously.
“Ha, well see you later Fay.” He said turning down the hallway to which his homeroom awaited.
“Bye,” I said dreamily in his direction.
“Weellllll???” Anne teased once more.
“Well what?” I said, a little confused.
“How’s that for proof? Fay!! Come on! He likes you!”
I knew it. I just couldn’t take that risk again.
