CHAPTER 3 – No Show

On a Saturday night, Connie lay in bed tossing and turning. It was too early to go to sleep but she wasn't in the mood to go out or do anything else. Guy didn't show up for their date that afternoon for he had another study session with Sarah. She had barely seen Guy ever since practice on Wednesday except for some classes they have together.

Connie remembered the conversation she had with Julie yesterday afternoon while hanging out at the mall.

"Aren't you jealous?" Julie had asked.

"Of what?"

"Of Guy always being with Sarah"

"No, he's just helping her with Math, I don't think there's anything wrong with that" Connie had replied.

"Not just math! He's been helping her with everything!" Connie didn't say anything. "And you've seen her, she's been flirting with him!" Julie had insisted.

"I trust Guy" Connie had said, curtly.

"Famous last words" Julie said, shaking her head. "Didn't Guy break your dates these past few days?"

"Julie, it's only been two days. And besides, he calls me whenever he gets home."

But that wasn't exactly true. Sure, he called her on Wednesday but that was to borrow some of Connie's science notes. Guy had spent every lunchtime with Sarah on the library and just stops by to tell her that he can't walk her home. Connie remembered that she had walked with Charlie and Linda on Wednesday and Thursday. He didn't show up that afternoon, saying he forgot and was studying with Sarah. On a Saturday!

Connie sighed and kicked off the covers. What if Julie was right? What if she really is feeling jealous? She shook her head.

She has a date with Guy again on Monday after school. There wouldn't be any practice because Coach Orion went visiting a sick relative this weekend and won't be back until Monday night, so they're free. I'll give Guy one more chance. Connie thought, hoping Guy would remember to come to their date.

Note: Kinda short chapter. I'll just try to update soon. Please review… Happy Holidays!!!
