Crushing On The Geek (Crushing on You 4)

I'm still not sure what to think about the faeries, though. A lot of the stuff could have been anything, but what you saw at the library still has me stumped. I hope it's not too late to start over.

--Hayden”

Tamara read through the list and laughed. At least he admitted they stole the apples. Still, the note didn't seem like something a guy would right, at least not any guy Tamara had known or dated. Not sure what to think Tamara shoved the note back into her bag so she could show Amber later. Not wanting to get behind in drama Tamara shouldered her bag and headed out of the bathroom. She took the long way back to class, not wanting to get there too soon. The thought of the crowdedmonth anniversary room made her stomach churn. Why had she let Amber talk her into taking drama anyway?

Amber still hadn't called Tamara back at lunch time, but Josh was sitting at their usual table. She considered telling him to get lost, but then decided to find out what happened first.

“What's going on?” she asked sinking into her chair.

“I'm not sure,” Josh said, “She wouldn't talk to me in math and then everyone's saying she went home. I don't know what I did.”

“Heck, if I know. She won't answer her phone.”

“I know,” Josh nodded.

“Hey,” Hayden said, appearing and taking the chair next to Tamara, resting his elbow on the back on her chair.

“Hi,” Tamara said and scooted the chair over. He was cute, but she didn't feel like being that physically close to anyone and she wasn't sure she trusted him.

“Did you read my note?”

“Yeah,” she nodded and took a bite of her pizza.

“I'll leave you two alone,” Josh sighed, sliding his chair away from the table.

“I'm sure she'll calm down soon, Josh,” Tamara said as he walked away.

“What's up with him?” Hayden asked.

“Amber is acting strange. He probably forgot their month anniversary or something,” Tamara shrugged, “and yes, I read your note.”

“Do you forgive me?”

“What's going on, Hayden? Be real.”

“I was trying to apologize….”

“No guy writes a note like that.”

“Well, the last time I checked I'm a guy, so your logic proves faulty.”

“You're doing it again, asshat,” Tamara rolled her eyes.

“Sorry.”

“Is Mercury in retrograde?” she asked.

“What?”

“Nothing,” Tamara laughed.

“I don't know,” Hayden said a moment later, “Feels like it though. Everything I say you interupt as a declaration of war.”

Tamara laughed despite her suspicions, “I don't think we're going to war, but with the look Cindy gave me this morning, I might be wrong.”

“Oh, she's just angry because Greg broke up with her.”

“Why?”
