Drew jostled through the crowds in the hallway, yelling “Lily, Lily………Lily!”I threw a glance his way, but motioned him to go away.”I’ll talk to you later” I said. I’d finally gotten Peter to talk to me and this time nothing would get in the way of us being together, I’d been obsessed with him for WAY too long, but then again so were half the girls in the school. He was just in the process of inviting me  over to a party he was throwing on Friday night and I was just in the process of thinking of all the possibilities that party carried.

Drew stuttered “but…………but…”bending his head in shame, he walked away, obviously disappointed. I couldn’t help but wonder what was so important it couldn’t wait, but I was too caught up in the moment to care any less about it. Later after class, as Drew was walking toward me, Peter dashed ahead of him.”So I hear your birthday is next week. Do you have any plans or do I have to make up your mind for you?”He smiled. I was taken aback for a moment. Could it actually be that my dreams were coming true after all those years of intense yearning and trying to get peter’s attention. I couldn’t help but blush. I was overcome by a plethora of mixed feelings. I was happy, excited, nervous maybe even scared. I froze, but tried not to make it obvious.

Breaking the silence, peter smiled “sooooo?”I threw a glance Drew’s way. It seemed like even he was waiting in eager anticipation to hear my response. I figured it was just because he was fully aware of my feelings toward peter, so I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. Turning to peter, I smiled “just give me the date and the time. “Strangely enough I noticed Drew’s face go pale, as he turned to leave the room. “Drew? Wait up, where are you going? Aren’t you going to wait for me? I asked. “I’ve waited too long!”He retorted. “Too long.” I stood there perplexed, speechless. What was that supposed  to mean? But immediately I was taken back to reality when oblivious of his next move, Peter grabbed me and kissed me.

I stood there gaping in astonishment as he walked away. “Friday right?” “Fr….Friday “I stuttered. Friday came and Drew hadn’t spoken to me in days while I remained ignorant of his reasons. On my way to the party, my cell rang……….it was Drew. As I picked it up to answer, my battery went dead. I just kept driving until I got there. As I approached the house.i heard someone yelling on the other side of the road, it was Drew alongside my other best friend, Susan. “Don’t go in!” he yelled. I was so angry that he’d not spoken to me in two days, that I completely ignored him. I went straight for the front door. Walking in, I felt a sudden chill, as a bucket of raw frozen fish fell on my head. Laughter erupted in the room and everyone was pointing fingers. It was only at that moment it became obvious to me that the entire thing was a setup, nothing but an awful ploy .I was besieged by intense feelings of mortification, so much so that I couldn’t even respond.

Suddenly I heard a bang and a scream. Turning slowly, i spotted Drew on the ground, completely lifeless. I rushed outside. “DREEEEEEEEEEW! NOOO!” Susan was crying.turning to me; she yelled this is all your fault! And to think he just wanted to be with you! This never would’ve happened if it hadn’t been for you.” I’d never felt so lost in my life. “What are you talking about?”Then it all began to make sense to me. Drew must have known about the ploy for the night. Susan went on to explaining how Peter had gotten us tickets to go see my favorite band for my birthday. Apparently I never gave him the chance to tell me and he came rushing over to tell me about Peter and got knocked down. “The ambulance is on the way. “A girl said. I felt so hurt that I just fled the scene. He was in love with me and I got him knocked down. As I watched the scene from the distance, I’d hoped that It was just one big bad dream, but no such luck. Things were just goIng to get worse, much worse.
