And I don't want the world to see me

'Cos I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

Michelle and Summer stayed up until 1 AM, having their own mini- Chick Flick marathon. So far they had seen 'Miss Congeniality', 'Sweet Home Alabama', and 'Uptown Girls'. They were about to pop in 'Romy and Michelles High School Reunion' when the phone rang.

Michelle glanced at it confused.

"Who in their right mind calls you at 1 in the morning? Don't they know we're having quality girl time?" she said, clearly aggarvated with the interuption. She reached over and awnsered on the 2nd ring.

"Y-ello, Michelle Adams speaking."

"Hi. This is Brad Parker. Is Summer there by any chance?"

"Why are you calling?" Michelle asked rudely.

"Michelle!" Summer replied.

"It's Brad" she mouthed. Summers' eyes grew wide. She then mouthed "Put him on speaker". Michelle did as asked, then they waited for his reply.

"Michelle, why are you over there?"

"Have you ever heard of 'slumber party'?" Summer asked.

"Summer? Is that you?"

"Yes. Why did you call me? We've been broken up for 2 weeks, 1 day, 7 hours and 22 minutes. Why are you calling?" Summer replied.

"Are you going out with Freddy Jones?" Brad asked, ignoring the question. Summer and Michelle exchanged confused looks.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Michelle said.

"Because I saw him and Amy Labourne making out behind the tree in the front courtyard Wensday afternoon at four." Brad informed them. Summer rolled her eyes.

"Freddy was at band practice with me Wensday afternoon at four. Freddy went straight home on Wensday, because he forgot his extra drumsticks. He then skateboarded to my house, and then we went to band practice at exactly 3: 15. We leave practice at 6...you should remember that." she told him.

"Amy likes Freddy."

"You think she doesn't know that?!" Michelle schreeched at him.

"Does this not bug you Summer?"

Summer thought for a moment.

"Not really." Okay, a really short moment.

"Summer, come on. Why did you break up with me?"

Summer sighed.

"You want to know?"

"Yes."

"You REALLY want to know?"

"Yes."

"You sure?"

"Just tell me already!" Summer had obviously forgotten that Brad gets angry after the 2nd time you annoy him.

"Okay, fine. You remember at the dance, I asked you to dance."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Brad asked.

"Well, okay, I liked you then. We smiled at each other in the halls and stuff, but then I went to Europe for spring break with Freddy, and I have no clue where you went. Needless to say, I forgot about you. I got a crush on Freddy that week. I still liked you, but I was torn between you two. I mean, I had massive crushes on both of you. But then you asked me out, and I still liked Freddy-"

"Wait, you liked Freddy since we went out?!" Brad interupted.

"Yea. I figured you wouldn't find out, so what? It was just a crush. But then a couple of weeks ago, I fell for him again, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. Turns out, he liked me the same way. So, during an IM session, Katie promised she'd break up with you for me after Freddy and I confessed we liked each other." Summer had explained it all. That's the truth on why she didn't like Brad anymore.

"Oh." came Brad's reply.

Michelle, who had remained silent on this whole explanation, burst.

"Now, if that's all, we're missing quality Romy and Michelle time! Goodnight Brad!"

Brad muttered his goodnight and hung up the phone.
