Chapter 3 Who Is This Guy?

“Bradley! How could you?! I thought you were my best friend! Why in the world did you tell him?!” I had called Bradley right when I got home and immediately started shouting at him.

“June? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down! What are you talking about? WHO are you talking about?!” Bradley asked.

“Oh, like you don’t know!”

“Uhhhh, actually, no, I don’t know.”

“Right, so, you’re saying that you didn’t tell Freddie that I liked
him? Is that what you’re saying?

“Freddie? OH! The guy you like! Right! Wait... did you just say
that I told him?! June... NO WAY would I do that! I always keep your
secrets, why would I tell him? Besides, I never talk to him.”

“Wait, you mean, it wasn’t you who told him?” I asked, confused.

“Uhhhh, NO!” He replied.

*Click*

“June? June, are, are you still there? JUNE! Hello? Oh, what the
heck...”

*Click*

Okay, so, maybe I was wrong. It wasn’t Bradley. But who could it
be! I was basically pulling out my hair by the time Mom got home.

“Hey hunny. What’s the matter?”

“Mom, what do you do when the guy you like knows you like him
only he won’t tell you how he knows that you like him?” I asked.

“Well Jee, I don’t know Kido. Did you already ask him to tell you?” Mom asked.

“Yeah.”

“Did you ask NICELY?”

“Uhhhh, thanks Mom, I think I’ll go upstairs now.”
“Wait, June. Do you even know if someone TOLD him? Maybe he just found out himself...” My mom called up.
“Nah... I don’t think so, he told me someone told him... I think he did anyways...” I replied back, searching my memory. I walked up to my room...

‘Maybe I should write him a letter and give it to him during GATE,
apologizing.’ I thought, sitting at my desk.

Suddenly, my phone rang. “Hello?”

“Uhhhh, hi, is June there?”

“Yes she is. This is her.”

“Oh, uhhhh, June?”

“Yeeaaahhhh?” Who was this guy?

There was a nervous gulp from the other line, then; *Click*

“What in the world?” I took the phone away from my ear to examine it. “Who was that?!”

The next day school passed slowly. I told Deanna about the phone
call and apologized to Bradley again. It was last period, GATE, and I hadn’t spoken to Freddie once.

Finally the school bell rang and we all rushed to our lockers.

“I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday!” I moaned to Deanna.

“I know! But, hey look on the bright side, the Winter Dance is
this Friday!” She said excitedly. “Are you going with anyone?” She
asked.

“Only if someone asks me.” I said as we passed Freddie and a couple
of his friends, Gary, Jeff, and Tony.

Deanna and I giggled then broke apart and went to our lockers. I met up with Freddie there, but I didn’t say anything. Surprisingly, he did.

“Hey, June. I uhhhh, heard you talking to Deanna about a strange
phone call last night.” He said, not looking at me.

“Yeah, so?”

“Yeah, just thought it was pretty weird, must’ve been some weird
guy that really wanted to talk to you...”

“I... wait, I never told her it was a guy.” I looked at him through the corner of my eye.

He smiled, “See you June.”
