CHAPTER 3

MYSTERIOUS

[The phone rings. It was Johnny. She was thinking if she was going to tell him today or tomorrow in school.]

Alli: Hello?

Johnny: Yeah. Meet me at the Restaurant. I need to talk to you.

Alli: Okay.

[Clare and Alli sneak out the window and walk to the restaurant. When they get there, they see Johnny.]

Alli: Hey Johnny.

Johnny: Hi. Clare, can you leave for a second. I need to talk to Alli.

Clare: Alright.

[Clare leaves.]

Alli: Hey Johnny. Whatcha up to?

Johnny: I have bad news. I need some time to think.

Alli: What do you mean?

Johnny: I need a break from you.

Alli: Why?

Johnny: People are looking at me like I am some kind of freak. I told you before that I don't like our age difference.

Alli: It doesn't even matter the age. All I care about is you Johnny.

Johnny: Well I need a break.

Alli: Is it some other girl? I saw you talking to Jenna outside of the locker room.

Johnny: No, I just need a break. And no I wasn't talking to her, she was talking to me.

Alli: Whatever. Have a nice day Johnny DiMarco.

[Alli storms out of the restaurant. She tips her chair over and makes Johnny pick it up. Clare was waiting outside.]

Alli: I hate my life. I wish I was never born.

Clare: Why?

Alli: Johnny broke up with me. He is a jerk.

[Clare and Alli walk to Clare's house. Alli calls her mother and see's if she can spend the night at Clare's.]

Alli's mom: Yeah but you have to promise me that you are in bed by 9:30.

Alli: Alright.
