I pause when I see who's calling. Don't get me wrong, I love Lacey, but all she talks about are boys. Do I really want to get myself into this? Ugh, I am such an amazing friend. "Hello?" "Hey Bailey?" "Yes, Lacey?" "I accidentally bought two tickets to the Magcon Tour in New Jersey and I thought maybe you know....be the person to have the extra ticket." "Lacey, did you really accidentally," putting up two fingers and waving them when I say accidentally "buy tickets or did you just buy two so you wouldn't come off as a loner?" I joke. "Ugh," she sighs "pleeeease? I really want you to come with me." I shouldn't have picked up the phone. "Wish I could Lace but," I pause. "Let's face it. Everyone at Magcon are boys and I've never had a good relationship with a boy. I can't even talk to one." "Course you can. You talked to that cute boy Jake during Math class last week." "Yeah and I felt like I was going to pass out. I couldn't even look at him." "Come on, I have to see Jacob! Here I'll send you a picture of all the boys in Magcon and you tell me the one you want to see the most." "But I," "It's sending." Well that was fast. My phone buzzes when the text goes through. I tap on the picture and my eyes scan the picture. My eyes stop when I see one boy with brown hair and eyes that are a mix of colors. I'm not blind. So obviously I say he's cute. I've seen him on the internet before. Let's just say, so many fan pages. "Really!" Lacey squeals "That's Hunter Rowland. He is 15 and single." I sigh when she says 15. "Lacey I'm 13." "Turning 14 in September. So what you were born in 2002, he was born in 2001. Year apart? Pshh." I think it over and not just about Hunter. "Lacey I made my decision." I pause in between each word to creat suspense. "I" Pause.. "Am" Pause.. "Going." I smile because I can already sense Lacey's excitement. "Yes! We are going to Magcon!"
