The Favor Repaid

CHAPTER TWO

Val walked slowly down the hall to her next class, thinking as she walked. Luckily she had found her paper still sitting on her desk. I'm so glad I found it! She thought I worked so hard on it! No one seemed to understand though, they all thought that she was "Super Val" and sometimes she was but others she had to work really hard to get what she wanted, no one except Tyler. At least Tyler understands me! He knows that I have to work hard and helps me through it! He's so great! Especially when he smiles at me or when- suddenly she stopped her thoughts He's one of the best friends I've ever had! I can't like him! I mean I do but I shouldn't! Val sighed as she entered her history class. What am I going to do?

"Hey guys" She said as she sat down next to Caitie. Jamie, who was sitting next to Caitie, gave her a suspicious look. What's up with that? She wondered Its Jamie he always does that, nothings wrong.

"Hi, so Val is there anything you want to tell us?" Caitie asked. Something is definitely up, but what'd I do?

"Caitie!" Jamie said as soon as she got the question out

"Never mind" Caitie told her

"No, what did I do and not tell you?" Val inquired

"Nothing…I um" She looked over at Jamie for help

"She was gonna make another crack about you and Tyler, but even I'm sick of hearing it. That's all nothing else!" He said covering for Caitie

"Oh…really Caitie?"

"Yep" she said quickly, a little to quickly, Val knew something was going on but she had no idea what it was. Maybe they found out about…nah they won't, anyway they'd be happy we did it! She rationalized wouldn't they? She figured it was best to leave it alone for now and question Caitie when they were alone.

"Ok" She answered

The rest of the class period went by slowly. Val found herself watching Caitie and Jamie as they whispered back and forth to one another. She wished that she had someone like Caitie had, someone that made her really happy and no longer feel lonely. More specifically she wanted Tyler, but she knew that it wouldn't happen, they were only friends. While Val was lost in her own thoughts Jamie and Caitie talk about the note they had found.

"Caitie you promised that you wouldn't say anything! You almost ruined our plan!" Jamie scolded her

"And exactly what is our plan?" Caitie questioned

"Well…I haven't actually gotten that far yet, but we have to get Val and Tyler together somehow!"

"Duh!" she said as the bell rang

"Duh what?" Val asked suddenly appearing

"Nothing, Jamie just said that we have to go see the new Mummy movie"

"Oh"

"We have to stop taking about this when she's around" Caitie whispered to Jamie

"Yeah!"

"Hey there's Tyler!" Val said, her heart rate suddenly accelerating

"Go ask him if he wants to go to with us tonight" Caitie said shoving Val in Tyler's direction

"Tyler" She yelled

"Hey Val! What's up?"

"Nothing really; Caitie, Jamie, and I are all going to the mall tonight and we were wondering if you wanna go with us?"

"I wish I could, but I um…I'm going to the movies with heather"

So?? Sorry it took so long to get out! I'm completely lost as to where to go now!! Hopefully the next part will be out soon!!
