I sat down at the table again the next day. Angela and Mike were the only ones who
acknowledged my presence.
"Hey Bella. Are you going to work tonight?" Mike asked cheerfully. I nodded trying to
look enthusiastic. I was genuinely happy that Mike was talking to me again, I just hoped
he wouldn't get the wrong idea. Mike started chatting animatedly to me, about what him
and his friends, colleges he looked at etc. I just kept nodding and going with what he
was saying. The whole time I was thinking of how Jacob and I would finally starting
riding the motorcycles..
Better that then other things. It did feel nice for someone to be eager to talk to me
though. I looked over at Angela, who was quietly listening. I cleared my throat
"So Angela, how is everything going with you?" I asked, wanting to include her in the
conversation.
"I'm good, besides stressing over this stupid bio test Thursday. How are you?". Angela
asked earnestly.
"Been well. Do you need help studying for the bio? " I asked. Her eyes brightened.
"Yes, I was planning on going to the library to study tomorrow during lunch. I don't
want to make you miss lunch though."
"I don't mind really." In fact, I like the idea of having an excuse to escape the social
scene with out being called a zombie.
There was a pause. I wasn't used to be the one to have keep the conversation going.
Mike took this as his chance to keep talking to me.
Sorry I know short chapter. I figure since there both shy it will take awhile to develop
there friendship.
