At lunchtime, when I was talking to Nick about our geometry homework, Anna barged into our conversation. "OH MY GOSH! SUSIE! SECRET MEETING WITH ME NOW!!!" she shouted, taking my arm. She's really strong when she's excited! I nearly tripped over somebody's foot because of her! When we were outside of the cafeteria doors, she took a deep breath and meditated. I gaped at her. "What the freak are you doing? You dragged me all the way here to make me meditate with you??" I said, waving my hands around. Anna closed her eyes and pretended she didn't hear me. I hated when she used that trick on me. It's so annoying and rude! She smiled as she opened her eyes. "Ok, I'm calm now. I wanted to tell you, that the guy I liked since the beginning of this school year has finally asked me out!!!" she screamed, jumping up and down. "Are you serious?? That's such a coincidence!!" I yelled, jumping along with her. "I know!!! But who cares?? I told him to meet us in the cafeteria this afternoon!! Which is right now!!! Let's go!" she shrieked, grabbing my arm, again. I felt so happy for her. When we entered the cafeteria again, Nick was gone. Darn, I thought. I get to see Anna's new boyfriend, but mine just ditched me.Anna came to this one guy and turned him around. His head looked familiar somehow. I didn't care at all. At this moment, I felt so happy for Anna, that I greeted happily. My smile turned upside down when I saw who she dating. This cannot happen to me! Jake Moud. "Hey, you must be Anna's friend. Hi, I'm Jake Moud. And you are?" he greeted me, with a smile.
He's pretending that he never even met me! I wanted to sock him, but I held it back. I couldn't bear to punch him right in front of Anna. She looked so happy because this was the actually first time she had a boyfriend. Yes, I know. She's too chicken to walk up to a boy and asked him what's his name without me by her side. I'm impressed that this time, a boy walked up to her and asked her out. Especially if she likes that guy. Who happens to be Jake Moud. "My name is Susie Flue," I said, gritting my teeth. He took out his hand, expecting me to shake it. At first, I restrained myself, but I had to do it to make Anna happy.
"Cool, nice to meet you Sky," he said. Anna and I gawked at him. Did he realized what he was doing??
"Umm, I think she said her name was Susie, didn't you Susie?" asked Anna, with a frown. Oh no, I thought. He might spill the secret! You see, when I became friends with Anna, she was the type of girl who likes makeup, boys, and other girly stuff. I didn't even know how we even became friends! I was the total opposite of her. But no one else would be my friend though. They treated the same way to Anna. So, she was the only choice I had. At first, she ignored me most of the time. But later on, she took an interest in me. She decided that I needed a "makeover". I do not like makeovers. I've seen them on TV. The makeovers make the people look so... fake, somehow. I tried to stop her, but it was too late. She "transformed" me. I was no longer tomboy Sky. I was sassy Susie. How did she change my identity? You do not want to know. Anna has her sources. She thinks "Sky" sounds so unsophisticated. So, she changed it! Yup, she’s spoiled all right. She gets whatever she wants, no matter how ridiculous it is. “Oh, I thought you said Sky right? Oh well, nice to meet you Susie,” he exclaimed, with a sly smile. He was teasing me! Aghh, how I wanted to kill him!!
“Don’t you think he’s the perfect boyfriend for me?” Anna asked, when Jake left. I hated to fib to Anna, but she left me no choice. I was about to tell her the truth myself, but then, something stopped me. What about my friendship with Anna? We’ve been friends since Jake left me. I counted on her. If she leaves me, I would be helpless.
“Hello?? Are daydreaming about Nick? By the way, I think you’re right! We should double date!” Anna exclaimed, shaking my shoulder. I snapped back to reality. “No no no no! That cannot happened!!!” I blurted out without thinking.
Anna looked surprised. “What do you mean? You’re the one who thought of this idea! Let’s try it!” wailed Anna, shaking my shoulder even more. “Oww! Ok, fine, we’ll go on the double date. But I get to choose,” I grumbled, taking her hand of my shoulder. Dang, she's strong for a skinny girl, I thought, rubbing my shoulder. "Yay! We're gonna double-date!!" shouted Anna, prancing around like a horse.
