I gave her an hour. Almost. Then I went across the street. “Please, Mrs. Baker. I’ve got to see her!”
She’s locked herself in her room, dear. Why don’t you try phoning tomorrow.
Tomorrow? I couldn’t wait until tomorrow! So I went around the side of their house, climbed the fence, and knocked on her window.
“Juli! Juli, please. I’ve got to see you.” Her curtains didn’t open, but the back door did, and out came Mrs. Baker to shoo me away.
When I got home, my granddad was waiting at the front door.
“Bryce, what is going on? You’ve been running back and forth to the Bakers’, climbing over their fence….”
“You’re acting like the world’s on fire!” I blurted, “I can’t believe this! I just can’t believe this! She won’t talk to me!”
He led me into the front room, saying, “Who won’t talk to you?” “Juli!”
He hesitated. “Is she… mad at you?” “I don’t know!”
Does she have reason to be mad at you?” “No! Yes! I mean, I don’t know!
Well, what happened?” “I tried to kiss her! In front of this whole room of people,
while I was supposed to be having that stupid basket boy lunch with Shelly and Miranda, I tried to kiss her!”
