Against All Odds


Chapter 5:

By one thirty, my telephone rang. I went over to answer it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello, Lizy, It's me, Tracy," I hear Tracy's jolly voice.

"Oh, hi, Tracy," Why do I sound so unamazed?

"Did you just get your beauty sleep?" Tracy enlightened.

"Me? Yeah, I had lots," I answered her.

"Anyway, I have something to tell you about that guy, Dave," Tracy chimed on.

"Oh," I replied. DAVE...again. :(

"Anyway, I got his number last night!"

"You don't?" I asked with stony expression on my voice. Dave giving out phone numbers?

"Yes, i do! You won't believe it but Mark gave it to me!!! Haha!" Tracy giggled. I should have known. Dave looks like the kind of guy who doesn't give out phone numbers that easily.

"Well, satisfied now?" I can only hear myself ask.

Tracy reacted. "Do I sound satisfied? Of course, not! My next step is to get to know him better and we'll gonna hit it off." I rolled my eyes.

"Tracy, again, you're insane," I told her. It would never happen.Not with Dave.

"Oh,c'mon, Lizy, just wait and see. In time, we're gonna be a couple. We could even double date. You & Jeremy, Me & Dave," Tracy declared.

"Oh," Double date. I don't even like the sound of that.:(

"Well," Tracy continued. "I heard from Mark, he likes color blue."

BLUE! That's what I feel right now!I spaced out.

"Hello, earth to Lizy. Are you still there?"

"Uh,oh, yeah. Blue, that is, it's a great color. I like it. You would look great in blue," I said. What am I saying?

"You think so?" Tracy asked.

"Oh, sure," I nodded.

"Well, from now on, I'm gonna wear something with blue. Just so, Dave will notice," Tracy claimed.

"Oh." I created a monster here. Now, she's going to wear his favorite color just so, to get his attention. Tracy got it real bad.

"Well,anyway, I love to spend some time with him but it seems that their family is always practicing their songs,Mark said so, but I could maybe drop by some time to watch them practice," Tracy blabbed.

"Oh," I could only say. The song.

"Don't you have anything more to say than 'oh'?"

"I'm sorry," I laughed. "Well, it seems that you spent soo much time talking with Mark instead of Dave."

"Brrr...yeah, right!" I could see Tracy rolled her eyes. Sarcasm was in her voice. "Oh, well, I gotta go. Mom wants me to go to the mall. Wanna come?"

"No, thanks," I replied.

"Bye. Say hi to Jeremy from me," Tracy added.

Oh, Jeremy. She didn't know.

"Ok, bye," I could only hear myself speak.
