Girls don't usually talk to me. Besides my mother.
I was the awkward geek in the front making cheesy jokes too low for anyone to hear. I had tried talking to Amy Sholtz at one point before school went out. I saw her in the hallway and waved at her with a "Have a good break, Amy." She looked at me with confusion then resumed giggling with her fellow cheerleaders. She was one of the populars, so I expected to get nothing. But Mary was different.
"Will!"
I dropped my phone after I told her I wanted to talk to her today, which I did, and threw my door open.
"Ya?" I shouted as I ran down the stairs. I could see Jeff's messy, tangled hair.
"Let's go ,Willy!" He screamed. He grinned as I glared at him because he knew I hated that name.
"What were you doing up there?" He gave me a quizzical look as I jumped the last step and sat next to him on the floor.
Should I tell them about Mary?
"Just...waiting around." I tried to hide my wince when I lied. Jeff looked right through me and flashed a frustrated look.
"Well alright, let's get cracking!" My mother shouted. I nodded and reached for the first silver package, handing it out to its recipient.
An hour later, I received: a instant developing camera, new, light brown satchel, and a gift card to the book store Carrie's.
My phone gave a faint noise.
I was thinking the same. You're way more exciting.
