Chapter Two:

Day two. Don't wanna get up yet. Mom will make me unpack kitchen stuff if she finds out I'm awake. groans

alarm clock goes off

Oh crud. Who set up my alarm clock this earloh. It's 10 am.

"Rise and shine, sunshine!" I heard Freddy say. My eyes shot open and I sat up right away. I didn't have to look around because I found Freddy sitting by the window sill. The window with the small bridge right below it. I frowned.

"I could have been naked!" I quickly said.

"And I would have been very fortunate, wouldn't I be?" He said giving me a smug smile. I rolled my eyes.

"What are you doing in here? and how did you get in here?"

"Window was open. Did you know that you make this funny little noisy when you're sleeping?" He asked. Then he started mocking me and making this small sound. I turned red and I placed my right hand over my mouth.

"Do I really!" I asked a bit horrified. Not only did I make a terrible sound while sleeping but Freddy heard it!

"Nah. I was just tripping..." He said then laughed because I looked so shocked. My wide eyes glared at him. I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him. And doing so made him almost fall out the window. He tried to catch his balance and I watched him hold on to the window frame as his legs flew up in the air and his face made this funny expression. I started to laugh out loud.

"Okay. That was not very funny." He said sitting down properly again.

"Oh? Oh yeah? It-it wasn't? Cause I thought it was pretty funny..."

"Ha... Ha... Ha..."

"Whatever. But seriously, what are you doing here?"

"Oh yeah... Zack and I are planning to have a reunion with School of Rock now that you're back..."

"Really? A reunion just for me?"

"Yeah! Why not?" Freddy said shrugging.

"Oh this is great! Will I get to meet the new bassist?"

"You mean Carmi?"

"Here names Carmi? How cute!"

"Yeah I told you that yesterday..." He said shaking his head a bit.

"I tend to forget. So when is it?" I said reaching for a hair scrunchie on my bedside table. I tied my shoulder length hair into a messy little bun and made my bangs fall losely on my face.

"Tonight."

"Tonight? It's tonight?"

"Yeah. Why you got other plans for tonight?"

"Well. Yeah but... I'll make sure I'll get there."

"What are you're plans?" He asked.

My plans? What are my plans? well, I'm supposed to meet up with my boyfriend. Yes, I forgot to mention that I had a boyfriend. His name is Adam and he had spiky black hair and nice green-ish eyes. We've been going out for a 11 months now and everything has been perfect. He's got a scholarship in NYU and comes from a very good and rich family. He's somewhat related to the owners of Ford, you know, the car dealership. Adam's visiting me for 2 nights and he's flying back to New York afterwards. I didn't want anyone to know about me having a boyfriend so I made a little white lie.

"I'm having dinner with my,"

with my what!

"Your?" Freddy said waiting for me to continue.

"My grandmother..."

"You're grandmothers dead..." He said. My eyes widened.

"My grandmothers dead!" I asked. Maybe I shouldn't have said I was having dinner with my grandmother.

"Yeah. We went to her funeral when we were 11, remember? You spent your whole time crying and I had to sleep over because you didn't want to be alone... I was the only person you wanted to be with..." He said raising his eyebrows twice. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't flatter yourself. I was 11 yeard old. You were my best friend. Who else would I wanna stay with none other than my best friend, right?"

"Right. So about your dead grandmother..."

"i was talking about my other grandmother. Who, by the way, is only 67 years old."

"Oh right. Just try to make it, alright? Besides, the whole party is going to be for you."

"Yeah I'll try to make it..."

"Okay good. I hafta go. I'm meeting the band members at Dewey's place for a band meeting. I'll see you later, alright?" He said smiling then stepping out the window and into his. I ran to my window and yelled his name.

"Hey Freddy!"

"Yeah?" He said turning around to face me.

"We're still best friends, right?" I asked sounding hopeful. He thought for a moment. Oh, shit. Stupid thing to ask!

"As long as I'm living." He replied. I gave him a grin.

"Even if we haven't kept contact for 3 whole years?"

"Our friendship has been longer than 3 whole years. You have to come to the reunion tonight. We both have some catching up to do." He said giving me a wink. I laughed.

"Alright. I'll make it. Bye!" I said then closing my window. I closed the curtains and changed into my ordinary day clothes. The usual denim short shorts and a shirt that shows off a bit of my belly. I grabbed the phone and called up Adam on his cellphone.

"Hey, Baby!" I greeted him.

"Hey! You excited about tonight?" He asked.

"Oh yes, about tonight..."

"You're not cancelling are you?"

"Oh no no no... I was wondering... You see, my band mates are throwing a small reunion party for me. And it's tonight. And I cannot not go because they're throwing it for me. Do you mind if we go?"

"No, of course not! I'd love to go and meet your childhood friends!" He said. I smiled.

"Oh thank you, baby! Thank you so much!"

"No problem... I'll get there in a few hours okay?"

"Alright. See you later!"

"Okay, I love you!"

Uhm... hesaidwhatnow?

"I'm sorry what did you say? You're cracking up..."

And indeed he was cracking up. He's gone bonkers!

"I said... I... Love... You..." He said one more time.

"I'm sorry! I'm losing you... I have to go! Bye!" And then with that I hung up. I sat there in shock. Why didn't I say it back? Was it because I dont feel the same way?

I got up and walked to my window and found Freddy walking out of his house.

Or was it because there was someone else I wanted to say it to?
