Getting Noticed

Maggie

The next day at school, I gathered my courage and talked to Bryson. What’s the worst that would happen?

He was standing at his locker, and I took a deep breath. I’ll walk up to him and say hi. It wasn’t a big deal.

I walked towards him. My heart was pounding, and my palms were sweaty. I reached him. /"Hi, Bryson./"

He glanced at me. /"Do I know you?/"

/"My name is Maggie or the girl who ordered a Coke and turkey sandwich./"

/"Oh, yeah! You ordered a coffee, then switched it to a Coke. I remember now. How have you been?/"

/"I’m good./" I smiled. Well, so far, so good. /"So, I was thinking Homecoming was coming and./"

A girl interrupted me, walking up to Bryson. /"Hey, babe./" She kissed him.

/"Hey, baby,/" he said. /"What were you saying about homecoming?/"

/"Um, Homecoming is coming, and you’re going with this girl./" I pointed at the girl.
