"I'm going to tell my mommy what you did!", chapter 1
second Grade
"Billie Joe, I'm going to tell my mommy what you did!" I was very mad after Billie Joe had splashed into a huge puddle right next to me, getting muddy rain water all over my jean overalls. Billie Joe looked hurt.
"Ah, Jana, don't do that..."h said and did his puppy dog eyes. I laughed and pushed him a little.
"Okay, fine, we're even now." Billie smiled and ran over to Mike and whispered something in his ear. Mike laughed and looked over at Tre. I walked over to my brother and nudged him. "What'd Billie tell you?"
"Nothing, Jana," Mike said and turned to Billie. "I think she likes you, too," he whispered softly, but I could still here him.
"I do NOT!" I exclaimed in my most girly voice. "Billie Joe is gross." Billie's eyes quickly flashed with hurt.
"Ah, come on, where's the mushy stuff?" Tre asked.
"Ewwwwww!" everyone else said in unison. Then I noticed Mandi coming toward me from across the playground. "Hi, Mandi!" I said and ran up to give her a hug.
"Jana, I have so much to tell you! I just heard that Dixie said that he said that she said that he said that she said that somebody likes you!" she cried excitedly!
"I know..." I answered back quickly and jerked my head in Billie's direction.
"Really?" Mandi asked, lowering her head to talk to me. "How'd you find out?"
"My brother..." I sighed. Mandi looked over at him and smiled.
"Well, come on, Mrs. Porter will be mad if I'm late again." Mandi pulled on one of her blonde curls. "Let's go." She click-clacked along in her tiny heeled shoes toward the classroom and opened the door. A spit ball landed in her hair and she froze.
"Bingo!" Tre exclaimed from his seat in the front. Her mouth hung open and she picked up the spit ball and immediately dropped it on the floor.
"Ewwww, Tre Cool, I hate you!" She held her nose up high and strutted over to her desk, where she folded her dress under her and sat down silently. I walked quickly over to the desk in between Billie's and Mandi's.
End of the School Day
"Wasn't that boring..." Tre muttered as we exited the classroom. Mandi still wouldn't talk to him, but I saw her casting glances his way. She snorted and walked in front of him, her blue dress swaying in the slight wind. Tre snickered. I shook my head and caught up to her.
"You okay?" I asked. She looked over at me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow," she said and turned down her street. Mike poked me on the back and I turned to face him.
"Tell Mom I'm going to Tre's, kay?" I nodded and watched Tre and Mike turn onto Tre's driveway. Now it was only me and Billie.
"You aren't going with them?" I asked as I kept walking down the street, getting closer to my house every minute. Billie shook his head and looked at his feet. I could tell he was still hurt from earlier. "Do you like me?" I blurted out. I couldn't help it; the curiosity was getting to me. Billie just looked at me with his bright green eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, Billie Joe answered. "Yes." He smiled weakly. What am I thinking? I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
"Bye, Billie, see you tomorrow," I said and walked into the house.
