Chapter 1
Duckie Dale sat at a table alone twirling the cafeteria's pathetic excuse for spaghetti with his fork. He watched across the room as Andie Walsh and Blaine McDonnagh sat eating, talking, and laughing.
Duckie had let Andie go. He had told Andie to go after Blaine but he had only said that. He would of died to have her for himself. Although he had met that girl Sarah at the prom, who he had had a good time with, it just wasn't the same.
He got up, tossing his untouched lunch away. He took one last look at Andie who waved. He smiled back sheepishly and headed outside, making up his mind to skip the rest of the day's classes.
Duckie sat outside the gym waiting for the last bell of the day to ring so he could see Andie. When he heard it he quickly stood up and licked his hands to slick his hair in the right direction. He leaned against the building and watched everyone head to their cars.
He noticed Andie come out and just as he was getting ready to go talk to her, none other than Blaine followed her out. He watched as they got in his car and drove off. He scowled and rode home on his bike.
Holding the phone to his ear, Duckie waited for the voice that had always sent his heart skyrocketing. After three rings Andie answered.
"Hello?"
Before he could answer his voice got caught in his throat and he hung up. He sat on his bed staring at the phone.
He had planned on asking Andie to hang out with him this weekend, maybe go to the mall or something. He had never had a problem with calling Andie before but he was afraid to hear her say she was going to be spending time with her… ugh boyfriend.
He placed his hand on the phone again, this time planning his attack. His hand sat there for five minutes before he picked it up and redialed Andie's number. Her voice came through once again.
"I swear, if this is a prank call…"
"Surprise." Duckie forced a somewhat nervous laugh.
"Oh, hey Duckie. Haven't talked to you in a while."
"Yeah." He laughed again. "Well, see, I was just calling to ask if you wanted to maybe…"
"Duckie can you hold on one second? I have another call."
"Sure."
Duckie sat there for about 10 minutes fiddling with the phone cord before Andie returned.
"Um, Duckie can we maybe talk tomorrow? Blaine and I are going out tonight. Don't want to be late." She gave a short laugh.
His heart sunk. "Sure Andie." He hung up and laid back down on his bed, half wishing he had never bothered calling.
