No Way Out

Ella

Yes, I pulled Jenn over to the side. I saw Agnes give us a worried and curious glance. Ugh, anxiety issues. I whispered into Jenn's ear.

"What's your opinion on this Freddie guy?" I whispered.
"W-what do you mean?" Jennica asked quietly.
"You know..."
"Ohh..." Jennica sighed. "I think he'd make a good protective friend of hers and see where it develops."
I frowned.
"Really?"
"Yeah! Besides, I thought you liked Matt." Jennica giggled.
"Uhhh...what..? No! Uhhh... Never that that again Jenn you'll be sorry." I growled and let go of her elbow. I walked to my seat.

Matt

I heard a girl in our class likes me. I don't know who. I hope it's Agnes or Ella. Don't tell them I said that.
I like them both, but my, Ella is beautiful.

Agnes

I saw a boy walk over to me and Jenn silently squealed. Oh hey! It-It's Freddie!
"H-hey Freddie..." I mumbled. I heard some popular boys snicker as Ella & Jennica exchanged glances.
"Hey Agnes! I'm going bowling this Friday with a couple of friends and was wondering if you wanted to bring any friends? We have four extra tickets so you guys can have them." Freddie offered. "I mean, if you want to."
"Oh, um, s-sure. I'd like that. I'm not good at sports though." I smiled slightly. Freddie laughed.
"Well, I'll teach you how to perfect the bowling skills." He smiled and walked away. I saw him mouth Yay as he sat down.
"What was that about?" Jenn, Ella, and Matt surrounded my desk. I didn't realize I was blushing!
"Nothing...just that I scored us tickets to go bowling with Freddie and his group!" I was excited.
"Are you serious? YOU?" Ella joked.
"Yes, me. Freddie asked me. He said he has four tickets so don't tell Jazzy." I grinned.
"Good!" Matt exclaimed. "I love bowling, and Freddie seems nice."
"D-do you know which friends?" Jennica asked nervously.
"No. But I know he doesn't hang with Jake and them."
"Nice. Is Eve coming? I wanna kick her butt at basketball." Ella leaned back in her chair.
"Bowling, and no." Matt corrected.
"Bowling, bla bla whatever."
