Later, the phone rang and I picked up.

"Hello," I said.

"Hi, it's me, said Mary Anne.

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

"Kayla came up with a great idea," said Mary Anne. "She wants to have a Thanksgiving feast at her house."

"Great idea," I agreed.

"That's what I said, too," said Mary Anne.

"We can mention to the others at the meeting tomorrow," I said.

"Good idea," agreed Mary Anne.

We talked about it the whole time.

"I have a secret crush. James Parker," I said.

"He's in my math class," said Mary Anne. "But he's already interested in someone else. I heard he likes Kaylee."

"He does?" I asked.

"Yes," replied Mary Anne. "She doesn't know it yet, but whatever you do, don't start a war in case of a friendship disaster."

"That's true," I said.

"Plus, you have Bart, remember?" asked Mary Anne.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that," I said.

I knew what she had a good point about that. Glad she reminded me before I could break Bart's heart. Kaylee and I are good friends as well.

"I could give Kaylee some tips if she needs some," I said.

"That would be a better idea," agreed Mary Anne. "I would do the same thing if I didn't have Logan and if another friend & I liked the same boy. I would wait and see if she wants him or let me have him. That would be another smart thing to do instead of taking a risk of losing a friend when they fight over him. A boy would not like that at all."

"That's true," I said.

The next day, at school, I was in the hallway when James, who was a bit nervous, went to Kaylee as they talked and then, asked her out to see a movie on Saturday night.

"Sure. I would like to," said Kaylee.

But would James' parents want that? She's African-American and he's white. I am not going to worried about it since I am sure his parents might approve because she is nice and wouldn't hurt anyone.

At lunch, Kaylee told us about what happened.

"Wow, that is amazing," said Mary Anne.

"I know," agreed Kaylee. "This would be my first boyfriend though, so I'm feeling nervous about this."

"I bet you would do fine," I said. "Everyone gets nervous when they first fell in love with someone."

"That's true, that is normal," said Stacey.

"I remember when I first dated Logan, I thought I was going to be too shy for him, but he didn't care if I was that way or not. He loved me for who I am," added Mary Anne.

Kaylee didn't care how many of us give her tips- she was lucky she has us for her friends.

"Thanks, girls, that made me feel better now," said Kaylee with a grin.

"If you need some tips, just ask one of us," I said.

"I think I would ask Mary Anne since she has a boyfriend," said Kaylee. "But I don't mind if you girls add some advice, too."

Kaylee had a terrific point- that made sense to ask Mary Anne since she has a boyfriend. I can give tips since I know about boys, too. At least she doesn't mind if any of us give her more tips.

"Why don't you ask him if he wants to join us for the Thanksgiving Feast?" asked Mary Anne.

"That's a nice idea. I can ask him once my parents get to know him first," replied Kaylee.
