                       Summer's POV

"But what about you?" I ask. Tomika looks at me like I'm insane, but shakes her head.

"I'll be fine." Tomika lies, licking her lips. I giggle, then cross my arms.

"Do you think I don't know you well enough to know when you're lying?" I question her. She shrugs, licking her lips again. "What's wrong?"

"Its just, what if Freddy really does like you. It will really hurt me to see you with him." Breathing hard, Tomika blushes. Smiling softly, I take her hand and lead her out of the bathroom.

"If it really means that much to you, I can swear off Freddy." I sigh, frowning at my own words.

"Really?" Tomika's voice rises with hope. I nod, not trusting my voice to work. "Then I'll swear off him to." I smile, that's why I like Tomika. She's always doing the right thing. Holding out my hand, Tomika takes it.

"Best friend forever, I promise to keep my hands off Freddy forever." My voice cracks at the last forever, knowing it would last.

"Best friend forever, I promise to keep my hands off Freddy forever." Tomika repeats, smiling up at me. We let go and quickly embrace each other.

Ring!!!!! Jumping out of the hug, I look panicked, at Tomika. She looks at me, just as panicked. We turn and bolt, arriving to class only ten minutes late. Breathing very hard, we both land in our desks. Glancing at Tomika, I give her a smirk, and we both burst out in giggles.

"Well this isn't something you see everyday." Mr. Finn says slowly, obviously confused. Choking on my intake of air I stop laughing. Tomika gives me a tight smile then nods behind her. I shake my head and face forwards.

"What just happened?" Lawrence asks. "I thought I had figured girls out, but apparently I haven't!" I roll my eyes and turn back to face Lawrence.

"It's girl stuff." I draw out, making sure he understands. He frowns, and I smile.

"Hey Tomika!" Zack says, waving at her. She looks at him weirdly, and he quickly adds, "and Summer."

"Well at least the girls little fight is over!" Mr. Finn sighs, sitting down at his desk.

"Summer." I feel a light tap on my shoulder, and turn around to see Freddy. My eyes widen, and I gulp. "Could I talk to you for a minute, out in the hall."
