I had wondered all day why Zoey was so sad that we didn't hang out, I mean she's never seemed that sad. Maybe I forgot something, or someone died, but if it were that important wouldn't she tell me? She is my best friend, and its great to spend time with her, but right now I have to work on wooing Maria. She's so gorgeous, and smart, and everything I want.

Next thing I know my alarm is going off telling me its time for school. Great. When I arrive at my locker someone else is there, Zoey.

" Hey Heath, I need to tell you something." She said, was she upset or what, normally you can read her face like a book, but today she had her poker face on.

" Uhh. Sure?"

" Well, I kinda sort like you, I mean you used to be just a friend, but now, not so much."

I was stunned, of all people, Zoey Redbird, liked me...ME!

" Oh, well. Uhhh."

What the heck I tell him I like him, and he doesn't respond. Well he technically responded, but complete sentences would be nice.

" Heath? Earth to Heath!"

" Oh. Sorry forgot you were there. Listen, this is a little awkward, but I like Maria"

Her face was pure shock.

"Well than." She just turned around, and walked away. Possibly out of my life…
