Chapter Two

I was watching Angie wait for her “Boyfriend” at the curb. She was so pathetic to think that her boyfriend actually liked her for who she really was! And I know that last sentence made you think I liked her, only as a best friend. She glanced at me for a split second looking frustrated that Jake wasn’t there yet. So I walked up to her, guts of steal, eh. “So, who’s picking you up” I asked curiously, even though I already knew. “Jake” she said in a quiet disappointed voice. “He’s a little late” I said sarcastically knowing it would piss her off. Oh well. “Tell me about it” she said. She looked uncomfortable. Just a little history, we had gone to a martial arts camp together. And at the time we were at the peak of our friendship telling each other anything and everything. Nothing awkward about anything. And there were other kids, of course. And, of course, they made fun of and mocked us and said we should be together forever, well that was an emotional time for Angie and she didn’t talk to me all the way home and even a week after that until we had a tournament to do, which was business. And then a red convertible pulled up with blazing rock music coming from it. Obviously Jake and his dad coming to pick up Angie. She jumped over the car door and next to Jake. “Bye Nate!” she yelled. It surprised me she would even notice me when her “boyfriend” was around. Ugh, I hated him.
It took my mom awhile to come pick me up. I was sitting on the curb waiting and listening to music. Suddenly I heard the same blazing music and Angie on the phone in the car. They pulled up to me. “Hey I called your mom and asked if it was okay to go to the movies with you and Jake and she said sure, do you want to come with?” she shouted over the music “Sure” I screamed back. I can’t believe that she was thinking about me this whole time. I jumped in next to Angie who was in the middle. This was going to be fun.
