Girls vs. Boys - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

“Lexi, did you hear me, supper is here,” my mom said standing in the doorway.  When did she get here?  I nodded and got up following her downstairs.

“Smells good,” I said. 

“It’s your favorite, chicken fried rice,” she said.  I piled some on my plate and went to my room, quietly shutting my door.  The phone started ringing and I sat my plate on the side table. 

Grabbing my phone I answered, “Hello?” 

“Lexi!”  It was Amy. 

“Amy, what’s the matter?” I asked. 

“Everything is falling apart without you here, you need to come back!” She said crying. 

“Amy, I’m sorry but I can’t, I wish I could…” I said.

She started crying harder, “Please.” 

“You know exactly why I can’t,” I said. 

“What if I can get him to apologize?” She asked.

I sighed, “Amy if he’s gonna apologize he would have, he lost his chance.”

“I know but why do we have to suffer for his mistakes?” she asked. 

“Amy I know, it sucks right now, but if it makes you feel better you can call me whenever,” I said.

She sniffled, “Ok, I guess.”

“I have to go, my food is getting cold,” I said.

“Ok, well I’ll talk to you later,” she said.  We said our goodbyes and hung up.

I grabbed my food and started eating when the doorbell rang. 

I grabbed my bottle of water, “I got it mom!” I yelled.  Untwisting the cap I walked to the door.  Taking a big gulp I opened the door and spit it out in shock.

“Zack, what are you doing here?” I asked, staring at him.
