"No answer, again," Musa muttered angrily. "I know he's home so why isn't he answering!" She threw her phone across the room and it banged off the wall and fell into 4 pieces. She growled and got off her bed to pick up the phone pieces, then stormed put of the room. The other girls were sitting in the living room, all doing their own thing. Tecna sat on the couch and typed on her computer. Musa stalked over and held out the phone pieces to the technology fairy. "Can you fix this?" she asked.
Tecna looked up from her computer at Musa and smiled. "She emerges," she said sarcastically, taking the pieces.
"What are you doing in that room, anyway?" Stella asked, painting her toe nails. Musa shrugged and plopped down on the couch.
"If you stay in there much longer, you'll go crazy," Flora commented. Tecna waved her hands over the pieces and magic put them back together. She handed the fixed phone back to Musa and snapped her lap top shut.
"How did you break it?" Tecna asked.
"Threw it," Musa said simply, rising to go back in her room.
"Oh no you don't!" Stella said, hopping up and grabbing Musa. "You seriously need to pull it together."
"Yeah, just forget Riven," Layla said, her eyes glued to the beach volleyball game on T.V.
"I can't!" Musa said dramatically and fell back on the couch. "Why does he act like this? Does he know it drives me crazy?" The other girls stayed quiet and let Musa ramble on. "I mean, I do have feelings! He blow me off, then cocks major 'tude with me, then he just ignores me!" Musa got up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Bloom said.
"Just for a walk," Musa said. "Need to clear my head."
Musa walked down the street with her hands in her pockets. "Man, this feels like freshmen year all over again!" She said to herself. "Stupid guys!" People around her stared at her strangely. "Yeah, a lot like freshmen year," she said, paying them no mind. She found her way to the park and sat down on a bench, sighing and putting her chin in her hands.
'A few minutes of peace is all I need. Just clear my head and calm down.' Suddenly Musa heard a rustling in the bush behind her. She stood up and slowly made her way to the sound. She parted the branches and a boy about her age sat there with an embarrassed look on his face. "Uhh…," Musa stammered. "Can I help you?"
The boy stood up and walked over to her. "Hi," he said. The boy had on jeans and a T-shirt and was very good looking. His black hair was long and tousled and he had big green eyes.
"Do I know you?" Musa asked.
"No but I know you. You're Musa, right?"
"Uhh yeah… And you are?"
The boy walked out of the bush. "I'm Blake and I go to Red Fountain. I'm in a few classes with some guys you know. Sky, Brandon, Riven…" Musa rolled her eyes at the last name and sat back down on the bench. "So, what are you doing here by yourself?" Blake said sitting down next to her.
"Just thinking," Musa said turning to meet his eyes. 'Wow,' Musa thought. 'Look at those eyes.' Blake smiled a little and Musa blushed and turned away.
"So… Here alone?" Blake said.
"Uhh, yeah," Musa answered.
Blake nodded. "Gonna be here all day?"
"Probably not," Musa answered.
"What are you doing tonight?" Blake said. Musa raised one eyebrow.
"Are you…Asking me out?" Blake shrugged and moved a little closer to Musa.
"That all depends. Are you saying yes?"
Musa got up and said, "Look, you're nice and all but I kinda just met you. Plus I already have a boyfriend."
Blake got up too. "Then it isn't a date. Just two friends getting to know one another?" He smiled a little and looked at Musa hopefully. Musa took her cell phone out of her pocket and looked at it. No recent cells or texts. Riven obviously didn't care what she was doing tonight. But this guy did.
Musa looked back at Blake and shrugged. "Why not?" Blake smiled wide and turned to leave.
"Great! I'll come get you tonight at around 7. Cool?" Musa nodded and Blake winked then left. Musa watched him go then stood in the park alone, slightly confused but despite herself, she felt a little excited.
