A Cindy Story

Chapter 12

Monday. I was kind of scared to go to school today.  Linda hasn't spoken to me since saturday.  Which could be a good thing.  Honestly I didn't really care, becusae I don't think I could ever forgive her.  So at least shes not trying to win my forgiveness, because it's not going to happen.  I ran downstairs, grabed an apple and ran outside.  I couldn't wait to meet Lea.  I had been dodging her calls all weekend, but I want to tell her saturdays news so badly now.  I start to head down my driveway, and Lea is already waiting for me at the bottom, which is a little weird. 

"Hey Lea, what's up?" I asked.

"Um, Cindy this is what's up." She stated concerned. She wasn't her perky self and that scared me.  She shoved he iphone in my face.  I took her phone and watched the video on her instagram feed in horror. 

"Is that me?" I asked retorically.  I knew it was me.  It was the video from saturday night.  The video I had avoided watching all weekend.  I handed her back he phone in disgust.

"Yeah, and guess what? There's good news and bad.  Which one do you want first." Lea stated.

"Bad, I guess," 

"Mia posted that video and her caption is, 'Dear bitch that stole my date, if you don't confess and beg for my forgiveness, I'm going to find you.  And you don't want me to do that.'"

"And the good news?"

"Well, Chris posted the same video."

"Oh God, how is that good news?!?"

"Because, he uses a different caption. His reads, 'Dear myster girl, I didn't get your name last night. Meet me in the library fifth period?"

"Holy crap." I can't believe he actually wants to find me.  Why?  That was totally a one time thing, right? 

"You like totally have to go see him!" Lea exclaimed.

"Ohhh no! Saturday night was a total one time thing," I said defensively.

"Obviously, not to Chris." Lea states completely serious.  We walk to school in silecne, as I prepare for the day ahead.

 Surving half of the school day wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.  No one bothered me, I just bothered myself.  All I could do all day was think of going to the library and meeting Chris.  But then I would wake myself up and realize that would be a terrible idea.  What if he didn't want anything to do with me once he knew who I was? Or worse, what if Mia found out? She would burn me at the stake.  I can't go through with it.  Just get through the next four periods and then home sweet home.  (Never thought I would ever say that.) 

In study hall, Mia was angerily venting to her clique about this mystery girl.  I could have sworn she was foaming at the mouth, she was that mad.  I looked around the room but Chris was no where to be found.  That probably pissed Mia off even more, the man she was trying to win didn't want anything to do with her.  It actually felt good to see her upset, all becuase something wasn't going to be handed to her on a silver platter.  Lea walked in late and sat down next to me.  She looked perky and proud of herself, not like she looked this morning.

"Hey, what put you in such a good mood?" I asked her as she hat down.

"Oh nothing..." she stated nonchalantly. 

"Okay you are definitetly up to something, spill" I pressed.  

"Nope.  You'll find out soon enough." she smiled, all proud of herself.  She pulled out her notebook and began doing her math homework, completely blowing me off. 

"Whatever," I tried not to care, but I cared way too much.  What was she up to? I started to work on my math homework too, but all of a sudden I got a text from a number I didn't recognize.  

_Hey_

Hey? Okay they oviously have the wrong number.  I started to reply, letting them know they had the wrong number but then the text came.

_I got your number from a friend, so don't freak.  Are you the mystery girl?_
