Chapter 3: The Phone Call

After school, me and Lenny went to Starbucks, Sandra and Quincy went on their own little date, Fauna and Frankie had to take care of some family business, and Maria, Mandy, and Eric met up at the skateboard shop downtown.

We ordered our usual, 2 iced coffees and 3 cinnamon buns. We usually split the third one. I interrupt his sipping and ask "Did ya like it?" He looks up from his phone and said "Like what?" How could he not know what I'm talking about? "Your treat from Jasmine" I respond with sarcasm. He starts giggling. I loved his laugh. "Hell yeah!" We both laugh, but that kinda hurt my heart.
I had always had "feelings" for Lenny but I never told him because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. He must have saw my faint smile because he asked "What's wrong, Lizzy?". He was the only person to call me that, and I only let him call me that. "Nothing , nothing" I lied with a fake smile. He was getting ready to say something but thank God, my phone rang.

I looked at my phone, it was a blocked number. I showed Lenny, he shrugged. I answered "Sup". It was just breathing for a couple seconds, so I got irritated and said "Who the fuck is this?" They finally answer, it must've been a man because he had a deep voice." I watch you everyday at school. I love you, Eliza. We will someday make beautiful children." he said. I was disgusted and pissed off. I completely went off. "When I find you, I will fuck you up, you asshole!" I yelled through my phone. I hung up. Lenny looked concerned." Who was that? I needa hurt somebody for ya?" He stood up, balling his fist. I was like a little sister to Lenny and if I was angry, he was angrier. "No, it's cool. Just some creep. He left a note in my locker this morning." I said slamming my phone down. "What did it say?" He asked getting closer. He smelled so good. "Nothing important" I said
