The Secret Admirer

Chapter 6

I stopped at my friend Drake's moms bakery. "How are you Janie" ask his mom as I sit on the counter. "Are you ready for your shift" she asked. "yes ms.Harper" I say. That's when Drake walked in. "Hey beautiful" he says throwing his arms around my neck. I pull them off "stop" I laugh. Drake has been my friend since preschool but in the 3rd grade he started crushing on me. "Janie" he says tucking the hair in my face behind my ear. He pulls me closer when he thinks there is no way I can get out of it I slap him. "Nice one" he laughs. "How do you stay so confident?" I ask. he laughs "hey why weren't you at school today" he asks a smile still on his face. A tear runs down my face not wanting to tell him anything that happened the past 2 days. His smile fades "Janie what happened" he asked. I try to keep it in but I can't "my mom Lola" I pause "their gone".
