Ditched

Jeremy stood outside and kept waiting for Chloe. She had said she would go with him, by chance, did she change her mind? He wondered sadly. 

He had thought he did something wrong to her when she kept walking away while he called her after class the previous day, or maybe Ellie told her something which was making her a bit distant but when he asked Ellie whether she told her anything the previous evening, Ellie assured him she said nothing even though he suspected she had. 

When he went to the mall in the evening, Chloe didn't show up at work and neither did she answer his calls or texts. 

Now, he wasn't worried about her not going with him, he was worried about her well being. Perhaps she was sick? He remembered how dull she looked yesterday.

"What's making the loverboy look sad?" He heard a familiar voice beside him and turned to see Katie with her group of 3 friends.
