Chapter 4: Is it a date?

Fox wanted to see me tonight at the park because he had something to tell me! I was so sad, it had

to be something bad, it had to be the reason he ditched me! Larissa must have noticed my face

change color because she asked me who was on the phone and what that person said to make me so

sad. So I explained to them what had happened the night before. They all wanted to meet him and

tell him off but I said that they shouldn't do that, at least not until we got the facts straight. Larissa

was very quiet through all of this and she looked very pale. I told her she should go home and rest

but as we were walking out, Alexandra and Susan started talking very loudly about how this man

Fox had bumped into them and how they are going to ask him out tonight because he gave them his

number. I started feeling ill after hearing all of that, even if it wasn't true.I said my goodbyes and i

took down Jamie and Whit's phone number and we went our separate ways. I had to go shopping

for some school supplies because school was just a month away and it was my last year in high

school!

Once I finished shopping, I felt much better because it took my mind off of things. When I got

home, mama was preparing supper, Antonio was helping Paloma with her homework, and Luis was

playing soccer with Miguel and Kay. Miguel and Kay reminded me of Fox and I, friends for as long

as we can remember! I had just remembered to ask Larissa how she met Ethan, so I called her up

and asked if she wanted to go to the mall tomorrow for a girl's shopping spree day! She agreed and

I hung up, I had to get ready for my little meeting with Fox in the park tonight. Was it a date? Was

it just like we used to do when we were younger, spend hours in the park playing games and having

picnics with mama, Luis, and Sheridan? I didn't know so I put on my pink and white summer dress

and a pair of flip flops and I was off. If he wanted to tell me something, the least I can do is make

him want to go out with me. I straightened my hair, put on some lip gloss, and some mascara to

make my eyes seem to sparkle, and make them look dramatic by putting some eye shadow on. I

checked the time and I had half an hour to waist but I left anyway.

The park was a street away from my house, but as I was walking by, I passed by the graveyard. It

was a small graveyard, but it was still a spooky looking graveyard. I suddenly remembered one of

my little adventures in the graveyard with Larissa and Jamie. Whitney wasn't with us because she

had a tennis tournament, she always had tennis but we were still very close. Anyways, we decided

to go to the graveyard at night and we brought flashlights for some light because it was pitch dark.

We were reading the graves when all of a sudden, we saw a man following us. We freaked out and

we ran away. But that was a long time ago. I'm still happy I had reconnected with my best friends.

I checked my watch again to see what time it was, but then I heard Fox in back of me. I turned

around and I saw him in a whole different light. He was so handsome! Even if he was wearing plain

old jeans and a shirt. He told me to follow him and I did.
