Good as Galinda

Major Screw-up

Antonio

What I was thinking when she ran of:

I have just majorly screwed this up. I didn't mean for her to hear it....I just wanted to throw Tom off track. Everyone was glaring at me, and I knew what was coming.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS DUDE! YOU SCREWED THIS UP AGAIN!" I hung my head as Gordon angrily ran off to follow her.

"Gord, where are you going?!" Tom yelled at Gordon's retreating back.

"To find her!!" 

"Don't be an idiot! You've got no freakin idea where she went!" Gordon stopped, sighed and trudged back to us angrily. 

"If this jackass hadn't been such a screw up, then this WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!" I ran my hands through my hair.

"I know! Ok! I get it! I didn't mean for her to hear!" 

"Why'd you say that anyway?" Jason piped up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. I shrugged, knowing that I'd done enough, and might as well come out with it.

"Ok....so maybe Tom was right. I might have a tiny crush on Anna. Tiny though." Tom smirked.

"I knew it!!" i glared and he shut up, a satisfied smile still painted across his features.

"But why did you say that?" Jason repeated, his voice quiet.

"I don't know! Maybe...because I didn't want her to know yet! She hates me if you didn't notice!" Gordon snorted, and I turned towards him.

"Something funny?"

"Well, we all know why she hates you."

"And why is that?"

"Because you're a lying, stupid, idiotic bastard." Jason had to hold my arms to keep me from tackling Gordon.

"WHAT THE HELL?! I ADMTTED I MADE A MISTAKE! END OF STORY!" Gordon shook his head, glaring. I swear, if looks could kill......I would be six feet under.

Jason cleared his throat, and stepped in between us. 

"Guys, please put your differences aside. We have to find Anna before we argue over her." I nodded, not smiling at what he said, because it was true. Once we found her, I was going to get her, before anyone else.

"This is Anna's cell! I'm not available at this moment, but I would love to get back to you! Leave a message after the beep!" Her angelic voice sounded through the phone's speakers as I tried again.

"Hey Anna, we wanted to know where you've gone off to. The guys and I are getting worried, because it's almost dark out. Please call me back." I hung up and gave Tom, Jason and Gordon a helpess look.

"I don't know how else to reach her."

"We could've done what I had suggested and go out and find her!" Tom sighed, standing up and grabbing his coat, directing his answer are Gordon.

"That's what we're going to do right now." We all rushed to stand and collect everything we would need, like our keys, wallets and phones.

"Jason and I will walk, Tom and Gordon? You two take the car." I said, tossing the pair the keys. Jason and I headed down the darkening street, with streetlamps lighting our path.

"Anna!" I called, cupping my hands around my mouth to make it louder. Still no answer.

"ANNABELLE!!" 

"ANNAAAAAAA!"

"Anna!!!!!" Suddenly I heard a voice from far away,

"Who is it?" A feeling. I felt something grip my chest, and my shoudlers relaxed. Relief. I was relieved.

"Jason and Antonio!" There wa a slight pause and then the voice yelled,

"I'm on Windsor and Oakwood." As soon as those words were uttered, Jason and I hurried along the road, turing left at the stop sign. 

"ANNA!" i tried again, this time a porch light turned on, and a shadow stepped out, motioning us to come. As soon as we reached the door, I saw a young boy, not much older than twelve, give me a large grin.

"I'm Jamie, Anna's brother." Jason crouched down next to him and held out his hand.

"Hey little man. I'm Jason." The kid shook it and smiled even wider, if it was possible.

"Anna told me about you!" 

"Oh? What did she say?" Jamie looked Jason up and down.

"She said you were nice."

"Jame? Who is it?" Another guy's voice called. This one was deeper, and I tensed up, thinking it could have been her boyfriend. A tall dude, probably in his teens, poked his head out and gave the kid a stern look.

"Don't talk to strangers Jamie."

"They aren't strangers, they're Anna's friends." The guy gave us a once over and asked,

"Who are you?" Jason raised hand and said,

"Jason." The guy pointed to me.

"And you?"

"Antonio." With that one word, the teenager grabbed Jamie's arm, yanked him inside, and shut the door with a loud slam. I heard footsteps and Anna's concerned voice say,

"Ethan? Who was that?" The guy (whose name must be Ethan) answered,

"Antonio, the shithead you were telling me about, and some guy named Jason."

"Jason's here?" The excitment in her voice made my heart ache. She liked him, hell, she might even love him. But to her, all I was, was another bastard. I heard the doorknob turn open, and there Anna stood, looking gorgeous in fuzzy PJ pants and a tank top. When she saw Jason, her eyes lit up.

"Jase!" He ran and gave her a hug. Me on the other hand? I was left...awkwardly standing outside. After they had finished greeting each other, Jason looked at her seriously and asked,

"Why did you run?" That was the first time she had bothered to look at me, and all it was was a hateful glare.

"Because. Some people don't want me there." Jason's arms wove around her protectivley, and I held my hands up in surrender. 

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that!"

"No? Then how did  you mean it Antonio? Please, enlighten me." I shook my head, unable to answer her.

"Go on man, tell her." Jason coaxed, as Anna leaned back against him. 

"Tell me what?" I stared at the ground, suddenly nervous. What if she rejects me? Or worse...doesn't even want to stay friends?

"Uhhhh....well...." I cleared my throat, trying to get the words out, but they were stuck.

"Spit it out Antonio!"

"I like you ok! Hell, I'm probably even falling for you!" I turned to look at her, and saw her mouth slightly parted, and her mesmerizing eyes staring at me.
