Chapter 14

In French the next day, we have to revise for a test in pairs and Gina ends up with her new admirer Chad. However, instead of revising, we’re all chatting to each other quietly while the teacher is too busy marking another class’s work to notice.

“So Gina, are you single?” Chad asks her.

Kate and I both look up as we hear this. I know he’s interested in her but that makes it too obvious.

Gina blushes. “Yeah, unfortunately,” she mutters uncomfortably and pretends to be reading something.

“I thought you were going out with that guy Lee?” he asks.

“We finished a week ago,” she answers quietly.

Poor Gina, I bet she feels upset talking about it. She probably looks upset because Chad gives her a sympathetic look and pats her shoulder.

“He must be an idiot,” he says. “If I was lucky enough to be your boyfriend, I’d never want to split with you.”

Kate and I exchange glances with the same surprised expression. Honestly, this lad was flirting for England.

“Thanks,” replies Gina, avoiding eye contact with him.

Luckily for Gina, the teacher finishes his marking and starts to test us on what we revised, or in our case hadn’t revised, so Chad doesn’t get any more time for flirting.

After the lesson, we see Chad follow Gina out of the classroom.

“Gina, I was wondering,” he starts, “since it’s Valentine’s day on Friday and you’re single, would you be interested in going on a date with me?”

He blushes so much his face is nearly as red as his hair, and Gina looks at the floor looking pretty uncomfortable.

“I’m not ready to get involved with any other guy yet,” she replies. “I’m sorry.”

He looks gutted at her reply and I feel sorry for him too and want to beg Gina to go with him. Gina turns and walks along the corridor, so Kate and I have to run to catch up with her.

“Why did you say that?” Kate asks her.

“Like I said, I’m not ready to start dating or having relationships with anyone else yet,” replies Gina.

“But you have to move on sometime,” Kate reminds her, “and Chad’s so sweet to you.”

“I know, but it’s only been a week. I’m not going to move on so quickly as if it meant nothing,” says Gina, with tears in her eyes. She’s probably thinking that although she’s being loyal to Lee by not moving on so quickly, he has regardless of her feelings.

I put my arm around her sympathetically, knowing it must be hard for her.

“And I’m still hurt over it, so I don’t want anyone else yet,” Gina finishes and then leaves us to go to her next lesson.

I watch her go, feeling sad for her.

“Do you think she’ll be okay?” I ask Kate, feeling worried.

“Yeah, she will,” answers Kate. “Don’t worry, we’ll check up on her at break.”
