In The Summer

Chapter Eleven - Trey

I'm so fucking confused about my feelings. I swear Wendy likes me and I think I like her. When I was at the hospital, she seemed so concerned and when she pricked my face, I swear my heart skipped a beat.

I don't know what to do anymore. I want Wendy to like me. Next week is the party and I'm hoping I can talk to her there.

Everyone knows who most of her crushes were because someone always figured it out and spread it. We all know she liked, Nash and Zane.

I have a feeling that she likes her new neighbor, Alex. I hope not.

"What?!?!" I yell into my phone.

"Dude what's wrong with you? You've never cared what she did until now." Gage says.

Gage just called me and told me that Wendy is finally dating someone. He says he doesn't know who it is though. He said that Chrissy said that she was dating some guy named Alex.

I bet it's her new neighbor. I'm pissed.

"Yeah but... I really have no clue why I'm mad dude. Probably just shock." I lie.

"Yeah sure. So man you're going to the party on the fourth right?"

"Yeah, but I think we're moving it to my house. Coach is mad at me, so I don't think he's gonna let me use the field."

"Chrissy told me that her, America, and Wendy were going."

I am overjoyed that my plan may work.

"So you want to help me with something?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Will you let everyone know that the fourth of July party has been moved to my house?"

"Yeah, sure man. Do you think your mom is gonna let you do that though?"

"She should." I say. I know she will.

"All right man, I got to go, my mom's calling me. She wants me to go with them to some stupid tourist attraction again." He says.

"All right, have fun with that." I say and hang up.

* * *

"Can I have the fourth of July party here, Mom?" I ask.

My mom is in the kitchen cooking.

"I don't know. Don't y'all usually have that at the field?" She asks.

"Yeah, but Coach isn't gonna let us have the field." I say.

"Fine. We weren't gonna stay here for the fourth anyway. One thing, the house better be clean when I get home." She says, "And you got to ask your father first."

"Yes ma'am."

* * *

"Dad, can I use the house for the fourth of July party?"

I'm on the phone with my dad.

"What did your mom say?" My dad always asks this.

"She said it was fine, but I had to ask you." I tell him.

"Well that's fine but, when we get back on the fifth, the house better be clean." He says.

"Yes, sir. Thank you." I say and hang up, before going to my text messages and messaging Gage.

Me: It's good. They said yes.

Gage: K. I'll work on it. You know Chrissy can't keep her mouth shut. All I have to do is tell her.

Me: Yep. Thx.

Gage: Yw.

Me: Oh, will u help me w/ something else, 2?

Gage: Yea. Just say the word.

* * *

Christiana and Gage are supposed to come back tomorrow. There are only two days left until the party. I hope I can pull this shitty plan off. I'll probably mess it up, though.

* * *

So what do you think Trey is planning? Just so we're clear Chrissy is Christiana. She is Gabe's twin sister if you didn't read the chapter about the characters.
