I Know What You’re Thinking – Part XVII

November 30th, 2009

5/19/09

Yeah, it’s still Tuesday. I wasn’t going to write again until tomorrow, but after we got back from the competition Mom picked me up and we went straight to my appointment with Headcase. I didn’t say anything to Mom about Gray on the drive over, I just told her all about the competition and how we won and how much fun I had. But inside, my stomach was flopping and I couldn’t stop smiling. Gray held my hand, really held it like he meant it. I can’t believe it. Is it possible that he Like-Likes me? When we pulled in at school, he gave it an extra squeeze before he let go to grab his backpack. I kind of felt like my brain was not attached to my body at the moment. After we got our bags and instruments, he walked me part way to my car and said he’d see me tomorrow. I said okay (I have such a way with words).

My appointment with Headcase went pretty well. I was still so keyed up about the day that I could hardly talk about anything else at first. But when I gave her my list of occupations, she got me to talk about that for a while. I didn’t tell her about my list of “gloved jobs”. That’s my own private thing. I did tell her about the fight with Sophie (but not Mr. Fowler’s gross thoughts), and she told me that I really should tell Sophie about my “gift”. I said that I was thinking about it, and she asked what was I really afraid of. I told her I guessed that it was just that I have guarded this secret for so long that I’m afraid if I tell anybody outside my family (except someone like Headcase, who has an oath to keep secrets), then somehow the whole world will find out. I really don’t want to be known as a total freak, even if I am one.

Headcase said that Sophie’s right, I need to trust her if she’s going to be my friend. I have to trust her with my secret, because she obviously really cares about me. I told her I would try to trust her. And I will.

When I got home, I had an email from Sophie.

Carly,

What a day, huh? I can’t believe we won! But I hate that we didn’t get to share it with each other. That’s the first time we’ve missed sharing something so totally important. I can’t stay mad at you. I don’t want to stay mad at you. You’re my BFF. Are you ready to talk to me yet? Cause I’m ready to listen, really. Trust me, Carly.

Sophie

P.S. Congrats on landing Gray. I knew he liked you, I could just tell. Maybe fighting with me for a couple of days isn’t such a bad thing!

Can I really tell her?
