"What do you mean just as a friend?" She says.

"He likes me as a friend, he was only trying to help me at the auction.  He said that he didn't want me to go out with my ex." I say.

"Sweetie, he doesn't want you to go out with your ex because he's jealous." She says.

"What?" I say.

"He's jealous of your ex, because he wishes that you were dating him at that time." She says.

"When did he say this?" I ask.

"Um like a while ago.  He's liked you for a while now.  I wasn't suppose to tell, but now that you two are dating.  I thought it was a good time." She says.

"We're um not dating." I say.

"What? oh dear. Carter is going to be mad at me.  I'm sorry I have to leave." She says and gets up and walks out of my room.  I see her walking on the pathway to her car and see her rubbing her face.

"Carter Longs. Likes. Me." I say to myself.

Of course he would like me.  He just wants me to look better. Or maybe he wants to look better because maybe not dating the popular girl would make him better.  That's probably his way of thinking. 

I fall asleep to the voice of Carter's mom saying that Carter likes me. I didn't like Carter did I. No.

I wake up and that stuff that usually goes on goes on. like get up, eat food, get in car, get to school.

I open the doors of the school, and today I wasn't late.  I walk to my normal spot in the lobby of the school.  I wait for  Layla to come but instead Carter does.  He walks like he's known me forever.

"Hey Anna." He says.

"Oh Hi Carter." I say fidgeting.

"What's wrong with you?" he asks.

"Oh nothing." I say.

"My mom told me what happened yesterday." He says.

"Oh everything?" I ask.

"Yeah she told me that she went over your house and told you why she put you to be auctioned.  Then she told me, that she told you that I hmm liked you." He says blushing.

"Do you?" I ask.

"No." He says.

"No?" I say.

"Yes. No." He says sort of meanly.

"Oh. Okay." I say.

"Why would I ever like you?" Carter says.

"What?" I say.

"Why would I ever like you, you're not my type." He says.

"Uhm Okay?" I say.

"So don't think I do." He says.

"I didn't think you did.  Calm down.  You forget to take your medicine today?" I ask.

"How do you know about that?" He asks.

"What? I don't know about anything." I say.

"Oh nevermind." he says.

"So we're not going on that date, that we're suppose to go on?" I ask.
