... not in love with Kale Eddison Read Online Free PDF Page B

“No, I was just wondering if you want to come to a party at
my house tonight?”
    Izzie frowned;
Jake had had house parties before and every single time, she had
failed to receive an invitation. She wondered what had made him
change his mind; could he possibly be beginning to like her or was
there some catch? Just as Izzie was about to accept his invite, her
question was answered when Jake spoke his next words; unfortunately
for Izzie the latter part appeared to be applicable here.
    “You know you
can bring someone with you too, if you want. I mean, I really won’t
mind … anyone at all, you can bring them.” He flashed her a
flirty smile and Izzie found her initial pleasure at him actually
asking her to his party quickly evaporating.
    She just knew Jake was referring to Kale but it’s not like she
actually knew him well enough to call him a friend let alone invite
him to a party after knowing him one day!
    Izzie nodded at
Jake and muttered, “Sure, it’s just I’ve actually made plans
already. Sorry I won’t be able to make it.”
    Jake looked
extremely disappointed and quickly left the shop without saying
much else. Izzie sighed, how could she be so stupid to think that
Jake was taking an interest in her? She really needed to focus on
something else; something more productive, like her school work –
it was far more important than boys. She tried not to think about
how Jake had tried to use her to get friendlier with Kale; she
really didn’t know what the big deal was anyway – he was just
somebody who was paid far too much for something so
unimportant.
     
    When her shift
had finished, Izzie went home and ate her dinner very quickly as
Maddie had sent her a text saying the movie she had picked started
at 7 o’clock and she had just half an hour to get ready. Izzie was
glad when Maddie had still gone ahead with their plans; it was a
sign that she had forgiven Izzie. She smiled to herself as she
picked out some jeans and a dressy shirt to wear and happily got
changed; she was just very glad to have her friend speaking to her
again.
    At 6.45pm,
Izzie heard Maddie beep her horn and she looked out her bedroom to
see Maddie’s black Mini waiting. She grabbed her bag and headed out
to meet her, when she got into the car, Izzie knew something had
changed from when she had gotten Maddie’s text; Maddie was all
dressed up and looked furious.
    Izzie glanced
at her friend curiously, “You ok? You look kinda pissed off, what’s
up?”
    Maddie sighed
heavily, “Nothing. Hey, why aren’t you dressed up?” she glared at
Izzie angrily while the latter looked confused.
    “Because we are
going to the cinema where it’s generally very dark and nobody can
see you. I should ask why you are dressed up? Did I miss
something?” Izzie frowned at how angry Maddie seemed; what was her
problem?
    Maddie hissed
angrily, “God Izzie, we aren’t going to the cinema! We are going to
Jake’s party! I told you in my message earlier!”
    Izzie reeled
back, “Jesus, what’s jumped up your ass? You didn’t say we were
going to a party, you said earlier we were going to a movie!”
    Maddie rolled
her eyes, “Yeah, before I knew Jake was having a party! God you’re
stupid; my message clearly indicated that we weren’t going to the
cinema anymore!”
    Izzie was
furious now, “Don’t you patronise me! Your message ‘clearly
indicated’ that you were picking me up to catch the film at 7!” she
took out her mobile and brought up Maddie’s text again, “I quote
‘Movie starts at 7.’ Now unless there’s a secret code to unscramble
this message to tell me we were going to a party, I’m going to
assume we were still going to the cinema. Now, are you going to
calm down and apologise?”
    Maddie looked
livid; it was obvious to Izzie that she knew she had done wrong but
didn’t want to admit it. Sure enough, Maddie shook her head and
continued to rant.
    “No I’m not
apologising, now are you going to change or not?”
    Izzie
