Justine POV
Sophia's gone. She's not in school anymore.
Polly and I have been waiting for ages. And it's almost 5:30 pm.

"Hey umm.. Justine?" Leif called.
"Yeah?" I replied
"Can you go to my house tonight? I mean, practice?"
"I'm sorry. I have homework. What about Wednesday?"
"Yeah. Wednesday's great. Can I have your number just in case?"
"Yeah sure." I gave him my number and thanked me.
"Thanks for the number. I gotta go."
"Yeah, okay. Bye!" I called out and waved my hand.
Polly nudged me with her shoulder and stared at me with the "who-is-that" look.
"What? He's my friend."
"Mmm-hhmmm?" Polly teased.
"Ok! I kinda like him." I exclaimed
Polly laughed and teased me as I said those words.
"As a friend." I added.
"Are you sure?" She questioned.

Am I?

Leif POV
Yes! I got her number.
I just have to wait till Wednesday for me to be with her.
I walked home and checked if someone's home.
"Mom? Dad?" I called out.
"Ja?" They both answered simultaneously
"Nothing."
"You want some dinner? I made chicken nuggets." My mom said.
"Nein... I'm fine."
"Okay. Just come down if you want some, ja?"
"Ja." I agreed and quickly went up the stairs.
I closed the door of my room and lied down on my bed.

I was worried.
I don't know why. Maybe because of Justine?
Why would she be the reason?

I dodged this question and just slept.
But the idea is still bothering me.

'Do I like her?'
'Or do I love her?"
