" Amanda where was Will last night?" Layla asked
" At home, why?" Amanda asked
" because he stood me up at the paper lantern" Layla said a little mad
" Oh my Gosh!" Amanda was stunned that Will would do that
" What was he doing last night?" Layla asked
" you're not going to like the answer," Amanda said, " Gwen came over and she had dinner with us"
Layla looked hurt
" I'm sorry Layla, I never knew my brother could be so dense or be such a jerk" Amanda was mad now
" I saved him a fortune cookie" Layla said
" Give it to him and make him feel guilty, that's what you should do" Amanda was really mad at her brother
" Ok, I have something to tell him anyway, thank you for being a good friend Amanda" Layla said
" hey we've been best friends for as long as I remember" Amanda hugged her and wished her good luck
Layla smiled and left to find Will who was by his lockers, Layla gave him the fortune cookie and he thanked her and started eating it and read the fortune which reminded him of the paper lantern and that put a little smile on Layla's face and a big smile on Amanda's face because she was reading both their minds at what was going on, she wanted this to work out for both of them, they were meant for each other
Will tried to apologias and that's when Layla was going to tell him something important
" good because I have something to tell you too," Will said
" ok, you go first" Layla said
" It's about Homecoming" Will said
" Yah mine too" Layla said
" I'm going with Gwen Grayson. Can you believe it?" Will was very happy
Layla was not happy, she didn't show it but Amanda read her mind and felt it, Amanda was really really mad at her brother now
" He's going with Gwen? He's going with Gwen? Amanda kept thinking to herself
" So what's your news" Will asked
" oh... ah... I'm going too, with... with Warren Peace
Will's eyes were a look of surprise and shock, and Amanda couldn't believe what she just read
" Layla's going to the dance with Warren Peace? She can't, she can't, SHE CAN'T. This can't be happening, maybe she's lying, oh I hope so, she can't go out with him, they're not opposites, Warren's my opposite not hers... oh when did this happen? Ok Amanda you really need to calm down, of course it's fake, she's trying to make Will jealous... yah that's it, it will work... it has too" Amanda was thinking to herself
During lunch that day it made Amanda mad because it wasn't a lie, Layla went and sat next to Warren at his table and she started laughing at something funny Warren said, and then the rest of the group joined
" I'm going to be sick" Amanda thought, " this can't be happening"
She got out of the lunch line and went to the library to research the ray project and to vent
Dear Diary,
" This is so wrong, nothing is going right, Will is not supposed to go out with Gwen Grayson, he's supposed to go with Layla, Layla isn't supposed to go out with Warren, she's supposed to go out with Will, I'm supposed to go out with Warren, we both like each other a lot, he just doesn't see it, Zach and Magenta are supposed to go out together but they don't know that they like each other, I know that I denied kissing Warren. Because I didn't kiss him, I want him to love me for me. Not for saving his life, I want him to get to know me better, know the real me, I don't want him to be dating Layla, I hope this passes soon. High school is so confusing and depressing" Amanda wrote in her diary
3 minutes later Warren came up behind her
" hey Amanda" Warren said scaring Amanda to death, " what are you doing?"
" Nothing," Amanda said putting her diary in her bag, " I thought you were at lunch"
" your friends are hanging around me. It got too crowded at the table so I left and decided to come here... what are you doing here all alone?" Warren asked, " you're usually hanging out with your friends during lunch"
" you've been watching me?" Amanda asked curiously
" sometimes, I'm not trying to stalk you or anything, just trying to figure you and your brother out... who always eats with Gwen and her gang, he hurt the green nature girl a lot" Warren said
" Layla I know" Amanda said
" so now I'm taking her to the dance... got nothing better to do, nobody else wants to go with me, and it will feel good to help make Will jealous" Warren said
" yah... wait a minute, so you and Layla are only pretending?" Amanda asked excitedly
" yah, she is so not my type" Warren said
" so what is your type" Amanda asked
" not her" Warren said
" oh... so you want to do some research while we have time?" Amanda asked
" sounds good" Warren said
They started hitting the books and writing stuff down and Amanda was smiling, she was glad Warren wasn't really going out with Layla
