After lunch I went to my locker. On top of my science book there was a note. Strange, I thought. Not even Mady knows my combo.

I opened the note. In neat cursive was a phone number, email and the words "call me"

I blushed when I realized who it was.


I pulled out my phone on the walk home and texted Mady:

Kat: OK, you were right

Mady: ?

Kat: Artemis gave me his # and email

Mady: I KNEW IT!

I turned on Spotify and selected Loco by DJ Manian. The song is awesome.


After dinner (and 15 minutes of thinking about it) I called Artemis.

"Who is this?" I heard him say.

"Kathrin." I replied.

"Hi Kat." I blushed.

"I was wondering..."

"Yes?"

"Why did you give me your phone number?"

A pause.

"Do you like me?"

"Uh..." I looked in the mirror and saw that I looked a little annoyed. "I think so?"

Now I looked like a tomato.

"Erm..." Was all I could get out.

Another pause.

"I'll just hang up now..." I said.

"Yeah..."


"Sara, I have boy problems." I confided to my awesome (and tall) friend.

"Is it Artemis?" She tried to act innocent.

I sighed. "Did Mady tell you?"

"Can I say no?"

"No."

"Then yes."

Pause.

"I called him and it was awkward and now I don't know what to do!"
