Tressa waddled to catch up with Marlene, Lexii and Emma, who were at their Lockers.
“Okay, so… Spill!” Marlene asked Tressa excitedly.
“Spill what?” Tressa gave them a confused look.
“Don’t give us that look, Tress!” Lexii ব্যক্ত with a sarcastic smile, “We know আপনি were blushing back there, Girl!”
Tressa felt her Cheeks turning bright red… again.
“Ohmygosh! আপনি totally have a Crush on that Guy, don’t you?” Emma blurted out.
“What? Kowalski? No, I don’t!” Tressa protested, “Why would আপনি think that?”
“We saw আপনি helping him up. আপনি even picked up his Books! আপনি both were digging each other, I can feel it!” Marlene ব্যক্ত teasingly.
“I just feel bad for the Guy, that’s all!” Tressa reasoned, looking away.
“My, what happened between আপনি and Kowalski?” Emma questioned.
Nothing happened!” Tressa replied sternly, “What could possibly have happened?”
“You know, the usual Couple thingy!” Lexii teased, bursting into laughter.
“No… We just talked like we were really Good Friends… It was… Nice!” Tressa said, smiling at her Friends.
“’Nice’ is Good!” Marlene mentioned, “’Nice’ is what আপনি want, right?”
Tressa sighed deeply for a second. Marlene, Lexii and Emma realized Tressa liked Kowalski.
“Don’t worry, Tress! We’re gonna help আপনি win Kowalski’s Heart!” Emma suggested, thinking about all the stuff Ryan had told her earlier.
“You… আপনি will?” Tressa’s eyes lit up.
“Of course! We know how much আপনি like him!” Emma ব্যক্ত gladly.
“Uh… Emma? I don’t think this is a Good idea! Tressa’s a Cheerleader… and Cheerleaders aren’t supposed to get along with Nerds!” Lexii reasoned out.
“Who cares? We can change that! All is fair in প্রণয় and War, right Tressa?” Emma turned to her Friend.
"Right!" Tressa nodded her head, "What about Amber? How would she take it?"
"Just because she is the Head Cheerleader doesn't mean she has to be mad at her fellow Cheerleader for dating a Nerd!" Emma assured, "Don't worry! We'll not tell the Girls about this. It'll just be our little secret!"
In the Girls’ Bathroom:
Amber was alone in the Girls’ Bathroom.
She was busy, curling and separating her Eye Lashes with a Safety Pin in front of the Mirror.
Even though her Mom told her আরো than a thousand times that her Cousin, Amber’s Aunt, had put out an Eye that way, she still didn’t bother listening.
Just then, the Door opened and Sharpey waddled in.
“Hey, Amby!” Sharpey said, waddling closer to Amber.
“Oh! Hi, Shar!” Amber looked past the Safety Pin at Sharpey, “What’s with that face?”
She could clearly see the concerned look on her Best Friend’s Face. Well, it was not exactly a ‘Concerned’ look… but it was আরো like a ‘Devious’ অথবা ‘I’ve-been-dying-to-know-something’ look.
“Like আপনি really don't know?” Sharpey frowned a bit, “Well, why do I get the funny feeling that you’re hiding something from us?” She asked curiously.
“Hiding? Hiding something from who? You?” Amber said, going to work on her lower Lashes.
“Well… I don’t know… Us - Our Friends… and me!” Sharpey stated firmly.
Amber placed the Safety Pin in her Handbag and looked up at Sharpey, confused.
“What makes আপনি think I’m hiding something?” Amber rolled her eyes.
“Look, Amby!” Sharpey began, “First of, you’ve been অভিনয় weird lately. Second, I know আপনি well, Amby! You’re my Best Friend! So tell me, what is this all about?” She demanded to know.
Amber’s eyes opened wide. Clearly, Sharpey was still thinking about the Note Amber received and she’s been dying to know about it.
“Is this about the Note, Shar?” Amber asked.
“You got that right!” Sharpey replied, “Lexii told me yesterday that she didn’t even give আপনি any Note. She ব্যক্ত she was good at History and didn’t ask for your help!” She explained.
“Seriously? Lexii’s good at History? Crud! I always thought she hated it!” Amber pointed out.
“Uhuh… But I don’t think you’re getting out of answering this time, Amby!” Sharpey reminded her, frowning a bit, “So… why do আপনি look so bummed out?”
“Oh, for the প্রণয় of Me! It’s just some stupid Note I left behind… long ago!” Amber faked a reason, flashing a smile.
“Oh, Really?” Sharpey ব্যক্ত sarcastically.
Amber tried running out of the Bathroom, but Sharpey blocked the Door…
