”Thinking about what?”
”Thinking about what good looks you have that he was staring at you more than me.”
Gary laughed. ”I told you, you are overthinking. And, you look better than me in everything.”
”DId he wanted you because of your skills?” Lena was at least able to decipher that.
Gary stopped his smiled. ”Don't worry about it. My skills are only for you.”
”I never asked before because I never cared about it. But now, I care about you.”
Gary's heart pounded faster. He knew that she meant as a friend but those words were magic to his heart.
”You don't have to tell me, but make sure you won't ever get hurt. I can barely protect myself… I can't protect you too.” Lena was a bit sad when she spoke the truth.
”I am really fine!”
Lena's phone rang and she quickly picked it up.
”Hazel!!” She answered. Gary smiled slouched and his mood died.
”I miss you! Where are you now?” Hazel asked.
”I am with Gary at the moment.”
”The nerd?!”
”Hey! He is an important friend.”
”When did he become important? Are you sure he's just not a fallback from my cousin?”
”YAHH! You are so mean!”
”I am just joking with you. Let's meet up.”
”Okay.”
