Chapter 9: Being part of the plan

Julie and Connie were hanging out at the mall. They had been there for a couple of hours and Connie couldn't decide on exactly what she wanted. Julie decided that now was better than later to ask Connie about what Adam wanted her to ask. She really didn't want to, but at the same time Adam seemed to really want her to ask Connie, and well, she'd do anything for him.

"Hey Connie."

"Yeah."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Okay."

"If you broke up with Ryan would you go back with Guy?"

Connie stopped what she was doing and looked at Julie. "What kind of a question is that?"

"A simple question."

"Look Guy's a great guy, but…" Connie trailed off and turned back to looking at the shirt.

"But…"

"Nothing. Look can we please not talk about Guy?"

"Yeah sure. If that's what you want."

There was silence for a couple of minutes and then Connie quietly stated "Yes."

­­­
"Adam, I'm pretty sure Connie still has feelings for Guy."

"Really?"

"Yes. So why did you need to know?"

"Look Jules I can't talk about it right now. I'm kind of in the middle of something. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah."

Adam hung up leaving Julie confused. He seemed very distant there. If only he could tell her what was bothering him. He was always doing that, it seemed like he wanted to open up and then he would get quiet, shut down, and pull away. There had to be a way. Maybe Connie might have an idea. She'd have to see. But Julie didn't have time to think about that right now, she had three essays. And unfortunately she couldn't not write them to figure out how to get to her boyfriend. With that she went back to her homework.
