Phil just ignored her and grabbed his books. He headed for the door and once he made it to the hall Keely started to follow. She started running after him and grabbed his shoulder when she caught him. He tried to turn away but caught a glimpse of her tears and decided to listen to her. "I can't solve the problem if I don't know what it is." Keely explained whipping away her tears. "You could have at least dumped me yourself! Maybe I was wrong about this whole thing! Maybe we are better off as friends! I mean, you can't go much lower then having your mother dump your boy friend!" Phil told her trying to stay calm.
"What are you talking about?" Keely said with a serious face. "Don't worry, your mom gave me the message. Don't pretend like you didn't have her dump me for you!" Phil said starting to turn towards the hall doors. "But I didn't." Keely told him. "But your mom told me you had to concentrate on school and you could have a boyfriend." Phil said. "That's what she wanted." Keely told him. They both did a half smile at each other. "What do you say we skip 1rst period and get some Ice cream?" Phil asked Keely. Keely nodded and grabbed Phil's hand.
That night when Keely got home she set her backpack down and went to the kitchen where her mother was. She stood in front of her holding her hips. It took her mom a couple seconds to realize she was there because of the work she was doing. "Hey sweetie, how was your day?" Ms. Teslow asked. Keely just stood there and said "I thought better of you mom." Keely ran up to her room and slammed her door. Her mom knew what she was talking about.
Keely grabbed her coat, opened her window and climbed down the tree next to her window.
