Ugh. Who in the world would call my phone at 5 am?! Don't they know my body is on a sleep  schedule? I looked up at the caller ID. Ugh. Gary.

"Hello."

"Good morning sleepy head!" Gary said happily. It sounded like he had a smile in his voice while he was talking. "What do you want bub?"

"Awww..someones not a happy cramper."

"You sound like an idiot, like always. Its 'someones not a happy camper' not cramper."

"Oh really? I thought you was on your period so, why not talk about cramping?" I laughed so hard. I swear this boy is insane. He is my BFF. I love him so much, as a friend ya know.

But things have been complicated and weird between us only because what happend a month ago. Gary told me that he loved me ever since 5th grade. Were in highschool now. I kinda of felt bad cause he was the one I would always come to if I had a crush. I am tomboy so I don't really have any friends that are girls. I only have Gary.

I remember one night in middle school, I went over to his house, crying. He was so worried. I just broke up with my boyfriend, Chase, because I saw him kissing the biggest slut in school, Joyce. He said that he would come over to my house in a hour. I waited and waited, then it passed two hours. I went over to his house and saw them there. I got so upset that I walked over to them, and slapped the mess out of those heffers. I told Chase he was the scum of the earth and that we were over. I stuck my middle finger at both of those two timing rats and left. 

Gary was so sweet when I walked into his house. He carried up to his room, bridal style, and palced me on his bed. He got on top of me and wiped away my tears. "Don't cry bab-I mean Carol. Everything will be okay, I promise." He said in his sweet caring voice. "What wrong Car Car?"

I bit my lip to stop my sobs. "Ch-Chase cheated on me." 

I swear, I have never seen Gary so mad. His nostirls falred and his green eyes turned black. He kept clenching and uncleching his fists. He looked like he was about to kill something, or someone. "With who?" He said angrily while getting off of me and standing by his door.

"Huh?"

"WITH WHO?! CAN'T YOU HEAR?" I looked at him with sad eyes. My ears hasn't been the same ever since my dad taught me how to shoot a gun. I was in the 7th grade.

Yeah, I was young but my dad was kinda.....dimmwitted at the time.

When I shot a bullet at the cartoon man on the paper, the person next to me got scared and shot their gun right by my ear. I screamed so loud because of the ringing. Then I passed out.

When Gary realized what he had said, he look at me with sad eys. His eyes were sadder then mines. 

Then he ran up to me and hugged me so tightly. I was kinda tense at first, but then I relaxed in his arms.

"Hello? You still there Carol?"

I awoke from my thoughts and smiled at Gary's voice.

"I'm still here Gary Bear."

He hates it when I call him that.

"Oh my gosh, really Caroline! You suck."

"But you love me tho!" 

Oh wait......
