I sat with Tiffany at lunch.
"Where'd you go this morning? That was your chance,"
she said knowing the answer.
"I had to get some homework done," I lied.
"He's really nice you know," she went on talking, "His
name is Nick and he's actually in my health class."
"Yeah, but all his friends hate me. I think I'll just go
look for someone else," I said as the bell rang.
"Seeya later," she said as we parted.
I didn't see Nick at his locker so I left for my car. I started
to pull out when I saw Nick and he stopped me.
"Ali, right?" he checked.
"Oh, yeah," I said making sure he was talking to me.
"Hey, I"'m Nick. I was wondering, do you have Tiffany's
number?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said fumbling thought my bookbag. I pulled
out paper and a pen and wrote her number down. I handed it to
him.
"Thanks. Nice car," he said commenting on my new silver
firebird convertible.
"Oh, um thanks," I smiled.
"Okay, well thanks again, I"ll seeya," he smiled
back. I waved and drove off. Normally, I would've been mad he
asked for a friend's number, but Tiff swore she was in love with
Dave.
I went to work and Tiff showed up in an hour.
"I found out more about lover-boy," she said excited.
"Which is?" I asked.
"He's a senior. Lily dumped him because she thought he was
cheating on her, but he wasn't. He loves football and basketball
and he wants to know if we wanna go out mini-golfing Friday night,"
she explained.
"I have to work," I said disappointed.
"Well, I told him to ask you himself so maybe you'll find
a way," she replied. Tiff soon left and my shift ended.
I went to school the next morning nervous. Was he really going
to talk to me?
