Hey December

Four

"Do you have a Facebook?"

"Yes."

"I can't find you."

I raised an eyebrow.

"I'll send you a friend request."

He grinned.

We walked out of class together. He was telling me about one of the characters in the new book avidly.

I listened.

We went our ways to lunch.

He came up to me with his friends, as usual.

"Hey December. Do you have a quarter I can borrow?"

This was new.

I glanced at my friends and they had similar expressions on their faces. I could tell they were trying not to laugh.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yes. Why do you need it?"

"To buy something."

I rolled my eyes again, muttering under my breath. "No really?"

I took out a quarter and gave it to him.

"Thanks!"

The rest of the school day was uneventful. I could hardly keep my eyes open, I was so tired.

When I got home, I collapsed onto my bed an closed my eyes.

I thought about August.

I sat at my computer and added him on Facebook.

He immediately accepted my friend request and messaged me.

August: :OOOO

Me: yeah...? no actually, it's November.

August: LOL

Me: what are u doing for the worst movie/commercial thing review for language arts?

August: dunno. u?

Me: probably the movie for the first book of our favorite series.

August: haha

Me: yeah, I need to finish it. It was so bad I had to stop watching.

August: HAHAHA. Yeah the actors were all cast wrong.

Me: uh huh. I should probably do my homework. bye

August: me too. cya tomorrow

I closed messenger and leaned back in my chair.

I smiled.

I couldn't deny it anymore. I liked August.
