Maybe i assumed too much,or knew but never anticipated itd happen this soon....i hadnt been able to see Lia that night,her mom d talked me against it and Lia was asleep,guess i had made a mistake driving all the way to her house that night but i felt guilty and wanted to make amends,i left a message saying she should call me when shes awake,we needed to talk....id driven back home and dinner was over...George had other matters to attend to,he d see me some other time,my mom seemed disappointed but didnt show it,Bell wouldnt stop talking about how great he was and rich too..."where were you anyway?"my mom asked sitting at the kitchen table with Bell,i pulled off my jacket"a party...and i had to see Lia" "shes got the flu,why would you want to see her?"Bell asked"cos shes my bestfriend silly",my mom looked at Bell,gave her the look,Bell got up and with a goodnight went up the stairs....."karen..",i paused,i had pretended not to see the look that mearnt she wanted to talk to me alone..."sit,i need to talk to you",rolling my eyes,i did,hoping she got it over with...."how did the party go?"she asked,i looked at her,was that the "talk?" "cool...i mean Lia wasnt there but i had fun",i thought of Brian,i had to introduce him to my mom sometime.."karen...you seem to be more..'social",lately",so that was it..."and that is bad thing?"i looked at her "no,no...not at all,thats great...but if you decide on...having sex...",oh not the sex talk.."im not having sex mom..not likely,im just...im just having fun,its my last year of highschool and all",she nodded"okay...im here whenever you want to talk...on anything",i stared at her..and nodded,i stood up,went to the foot of the stairs then turned"im sorry mom...for missing dinner" "thought you chickened out" "no..i really wanted to meet George",she nodded,i went up the stairs,knowing i mearnt that...yeah i was curious about my new dad....that reminds me,dad...i had lots to tell him~after id had my bath and laid on my bed Brian called me......well he was why i was staring at my bestfriend now at the corridor as she shouted on me,how she found out,i had no idea..i heard a few words she said"bitch..." "popular" "...behind my back" "hot guy" "date.." "fucked him" then finally"know what,we are through",i blinked out of my reverie as she waited for me to say something,when i didnt,she turned and walked away that was when i found my voice"im sorry..wanted to tell you",i looked around and girls stared at me"dump your bestfriend for a guy hm" "guess hes not even that hot",just then Brian came behind me,i turned"what happened,you look pale"he said,i bit my lip suddenly regretful for what id done,Lia was the only friend i had"i ll talk to you later" "karen you ok?",i shook my head and walked quickly away from him,no guy was worth the loss of a bestfriend....i got in class and sat down,tapping my pencil to prevent looking at Drew beside me,he held my pencil suddenly and kept it aside...i stared at him but he focused on mr smith....after the class..."mr patterson and miss Reaves come up to my desk",what now,i took my bag and we went there"so how are you both going about the project?",we shifted on our feet"good sir,we working on it fine"Drew said,i glanced at him and nodded"wanna brief me about what you ve done",i gulped but Drew started talking,i gaped till he finished,when did he do all that?,mr smith was impressed"good....real brilliant,wanna add anything to that miss Reaves?" "um.." "we not done yet sir,we d have the presentation when we are ready" "ok...well you guys go on like this...ud get an A",he dismissed us with a wave of the hand,i waited till i was out of class"what was that?" "what..." "all those...talk?" "im smart thats what and you re welcome for saving ur ass" "Drew patterson,you've been working on the project behind my back" "no.." "yes" "fine,isnt that what you wanted,i left you alone" "yes sure thats what i wanted,to be made a fool out of in there",he sighed"fine..wanna see about it come saturday 4,and no objections,i make sacrifices u should too" "dont you have dates,considering your reputation...." "well if i had been busy with that id not have said anything in there,cos while you were busy with your boyfriend i was doing research" i gaped"you are jealous" "why should i be,i know its not going too well",i gaped did he know about Lia and i earlier?..i couldnt find out because a girl named Tanya came and gave him a note"Drew a guy said i should give this to you"she looked at me and left"whats that...a love letter?" "contrary to what you know,im straight"he said as he opened it,i leaned and read it before he squeezed it..."~I NEVER LOOSE ON A CHALLENGE~"what d hell did dat mean..."whats that about?"i asked but he looked distant as he scanned ahead,then looked at me"saturday by 4...remember to check your car properly before driving" "thanks"i bit out before i thought of it..wait,what......he was already out of sight,now what did he mean by that?~
