“No Zoe, it’s really important!” I squealed on the phone with her, after my date with Josh.

“Well I have to tell you something too!” She said excitedly.  “But I have to kind of, ask you about it first?”

“Okay?” I laughed, slightly confused.

“Just meet me over here in 10, okay?”

“Sounds good!” I exclaimed.  “Should we invite Jaycie?”

“Nah, she’s got some grad party to go to or something.” Zoe shrugged it off.

“Okay, see you soon Zo.” I said contently. “Bye.”

I hung up, smiling like an idiot from Jake and I’s kiss.  I couldn’t wait to tell Zoe.  Bree, it was just a kiss, settle down, I scolded myself.  I quickly grabbed my phone off my night stand and rushed back down stairs to begin walking towards Zoe’s.

“Mom, I’m going over to Zoe’s.  be back..whenever.” I told her, slipping on my flip flops.

“Hey, you stop right there young lady.” My dad said sternly.

“What’d I do?” I asked innocently, hoping they hadn’t heard anything about us going in that abandoned house.

“You’ve almost been here for a week, and we’ve barely talked to you at all.” My mother explained.

“Well, I’ve just been busy with my friends, that’s all.” I folded my arms, annoyed.  “And I have to go, we’ll talk later!”

 “Okay sweetie, but we’re going out to dinner as a family tomorrow night!”

“Okay!” I ignored her.  I couldn’t wait to tell Zoe the news.

 “Zoe, I’m here!” I shouted up her steps.

“Finally!” She exclaimed, pulling me up the stairs.

“Settle down girl.” I laughed, wondering why she was so excited.

“Okay, you go first.” Zoe beamed happily.

“No no no, you go first.” I smiled, trying to be considerate, even though I really wanted to tell her.

“Okay, fine.” She laughed.  “So, I kind of sort of, ish, maybe..”

“Just tell me already!” I said anxiously, shaking her hands.

“Have a thing for Jake.” She smiled slightly.

“Oh.” I dropped her hands, along with my facial expression.

“You’re mad aren’t you!” Zoe said worriedly.  “Bree, I can find someone else, really-“

“No!” I said quickly. “Zoe, it’s fine, really, I don’t even like him anymore.”

“Are you sure?” She asked nervously.

“Positive.” I smiled weakly.

 "You two will make a great couple."
