I tried calling my cell, but of course no one answered, and I didn’t hear it ring. And seeing as how I didn’t get Garen’s number, I couldn’t call him back. “Great” I thought as I was putting on my pajamas. “How am I supposed to go out with him now?” Well, apparently I wasn’t unless I ran into him somewhere. I mean, half of the reason I was going to go out with him was to make Brody jealous. Not that it would work, but it was worth a try. And the other reason was he was just plain out hott! I mean, I’ve had guys like me in my life, but never guys this gorgeous. Like Bryce, if he even did like me, and now Garen. If only Brody would like me, then I‘d have the hottest guy ever liking me. As I was thinking all of this, I Heard a care pull out of Brody drive way. I looked out and saw it was Beverly leaving. Not long after she left I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning to the sun beating down on my face. “Yes,” I thought “It’s Friday!” Not that I had anything to look forward to this weekend. I mean, now that I don’t have a date anymore. Thinking this kind of put me in a sour mood. But Oh, Well, maybe he’ll save my life again today. After I’d gotten ready for school I headed downstairs to get some juice. I was so surprised to see Brody sitting at my kitchen table that I must have jumped about a mile! This was the last person I expected to see sitting at the kitchen table, well, other than my sister who was still in her room crying after 2 days of her and Bryce breaking up. “Bryce?!! What are you doing here?” “Thought I’d give you a ride to school.” He said, a sly smile spreading across his face. “What is he up to?” I thought. Then I saw it, my cell phone sticking out of his shirt pocket. Then my mom walked in giving me no time to start screaming. “Oh, Hi Bryce, it’s nice to see you, you haven’t been around lately. Kennedy told me you’ve been busy. Have you been working out??” “Oh, my, gawd” I thought totally mortified when my mom walked up to Brody and squeezed his bicep! I could have fainted. I mean, if I didn’t know any better I would have thought my mom was hitting on Brody. But I did know better and I know my mother wouldn’t do that. But apparently Brody didn’t mind. He just smiled and said “Why, Yes, I have Mrs. Haddix, glad someone noticed.” And they both laughed. “Ok, come on Brody we are leaving.” I said with a glare at Brody. “Ok, Cya Mrs. Haddix.” Bye Dear” And we left.
Once we got into Brody’s car I said. “Ok, Give me my cell phone now.” “He just looked over at me with a bored expression on his face. “Not until you tell me who the guy is.” “What guy?!” The one that called your cell phone last night” Then it dawned on me he must have been talking about Garen. “None of your business.” I said getting mad. Why should I tell him who Garen is if he didn’t tell me about Red. (A.K.A Beverly.) “No, I guess not, but your not getting the phone back until you tell me.” I could not believe this! “ You didn’t tell me about Beverly!” “You didn’t ask.” “Hmmmm.. .. .. Maybe because you wouldn’t talk to me!! “Whatever, Just tell me who the guy is!” “His name is Garen!!” “Garen Enbar?!!!” “I don’t know his last name!! And how did you know I was talking to a guy?” “He called your phone last night.” “Oh, my god, how did you get my phone and did you talk to him??!” I got your phone because you dropped it after you jumped off the roof to keep me from seeing you spy on me and no, I didn’t talk to him, I just answered the phone and he asked who I was, and I asked who he was but he wouldn’t tell me. Then we hung up, and you started calling. But I didn’t answer, I wanted to give the phone back to you today.” I stares at him in complete awe. I hadn’t known he knew I was spying on him. “Give me the phone” I said through gritted teeth as we pulled up to the school. He gave it to me and I started to get out, but before I could he asked me. “Why were you spying on me and Beverly?” “ I don’t know what your talking about, I wasn’t spying!” I said sounding incredulous, but really my heart was beating 5 times faster than normal. “I know you were, tell me why.” Now he looked angry, which made me mad. “Look, I wasn’t spying on you and your little girlfriend” , I lied again “so don’t make yourself go crazy thinking I was. Bye.!!” And I slammed the door on him and stalked into school.
