Chapter 19

*lunchtime*

Astrid POV

I waited with Tayra in the line. She was doing me a big favour!

Finally it was our turn. She got two plates, one for me and one for her, both main dish. We went to pay.

I walked on my crutches with her and we sat down on the table with Anne, Ericka, and some other friends like Mason.

"Where's Agnes?" I ask.

"I dunno, I guess she'll still be talking with Mr. Vanderstan, the science teacher. Remember, science fair coming up!" Anne suggests. She's with her in the same class, so that could be true.

But... something just doesn't seem right.

I open my phone (iPhone 5S) and text Agnes. Where ru? I write. She answers after a while: -1 floor West Wing bathrooms. Oh no. This can't be good.

"Um, guys, I gotta go for a few minutes, be right back okay?" I say.

"Sure, no prob, be back soon!" Mason grins.

I roll my eyes.

Silly Mason.

I go to the bathrooms as fast as I can with my crutches. When I finally get there, I see Agnes just sitting there, staring blankly in space, her head probably in the clouds.

"Agnes! Why are you here? What happened?" I could always tell when there was something wrong with Agnes.

"He likes her."

"What?" I say, confused now.

"James likes Marja."

"WHAT?"

"He sent her a Valentine's card," she manages to say.

"What did it say?" I ask, sitting down next to her.

"Sweet things. Every word is imprinted in my mind, like an ink tattoo put there with sharp needles that won't let it fade away," she says dramatically, but meaning it.

"No no no, what did it say exactly?"

"It said: You're so funny and sweet you always make me smile. Sometimes I just like to gaze into your amazing green eyes because they're beautiful. You are an amazing person and I hope you like me too.

James." she lets a tear escape her green eyes.

Wait. Green eyes!

"Wait, Agnes!" I say enthusiastically.

"What?" she groans.

"It said I just like to gaze into your amazing green eyes, right?"

"Yeah?"

"What are Marja's eyes like?" I ask, smiling.

"Um... Omigod, you're right! They're brown!!!!" she says excitedly, standing up like a rocket now.

"What are we waiting for then?"
