Chapter 5
Summer's POV
Why'd he have to be on the phone with Zack? It's been 20 minutes since I called and he hasn't called back. I don't know if he ever will. I might just have to ask him out tomorrow at school, which will be bad because he could have easily asked Marta by then. Oy, there was too much to think about and I still had to do stuff about the dance, luckily there had been no homework today.
"Summer?" my mom called.
"Yes mom?"
"Freddy Jones is on the phone." Yes!!! I leapt up and ran towards the phone, starting to get excited. Right now I didn't care if he said yes or no, Freddy Jones had called me! I took a deep breath and answered.
"Hello," I answered with a shaky voice.
"Umm, hi Summer, its Freddy. My mom said you called when I was on the phone with Zack." He sounded kind of shaky too.
"Yeah I did." There was a silence.
"So... what did you want?" I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing, I thought to myself, even though I was kind of scared to death.
"Freddy, will you go to the dance with me on Friday?" Whew! Now what I was scared for was the answer.
"Umm I'm going with Marta," came the voice from the phone. No!! Well, it's not like I didn't expect that, but still.
"Oh."
"Yeah, well see ya at school."
"Yeah, bye."
"Bye." I flopped down on my bed, as tears wet my eyes. Don't cry Summer, I told myself. But I couldn't not, it had really felt bad. I pulled my covers over my head and sobbed.
