Chapter 3

“Are you crazy?” Velma exclaimed. “Angela! Betty Ann, Sue! Intervention time!”

Tilly tapped her toe of her left foot impatiently on the floor. Her arms were folded and her lips were pressed together with determination. Three weeks! It had been three weeks since she asked Angus out and she had yet to hear from him!

“Tilly, this is getting kind of…,” Betty Ann started to say, looking frantically at the other girls for some help.

“Weird stalking obsession, maybe?” Angela replied drily.

“No, it isn’t,” Tilly replied with a wave of her hand. “He has never once said no. He just hasn’t called me back.”

“Yes, but haven’t you thought that maybe he isn’t interested in you?” Sue asked in a gentle voice.

Tilly’s eyes filled with tears. Raising a hand, she impatiently brushed it across her eyes. Yes, she had thought of that, but she just knew that wasn’t the reason he hadn’t called her. She had left her number and a small note on the broadcast console when she worked on it over Spring Break. She had asked for Angus to call her when he got a chance. All the guys in the house had left for the week. Tilly had stayed on campus. It gave her time to work on some of the stuff the college gave her to fix and make some extra spending money. Unfortunately,the only one who had contacted her was that creep Harry.

“He is interested,” Tilly said in a soft, stubborn voice.

“How do you know?” Velma asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Because every night he has been closing off his broadcast with a reference to Thumbelina,” Tilly whispered. “I know he is interested. That’s what he said I reminded him of.”

“Then, why hasn’t he called you? I mean, you left your number for him in the broadcast room when you went to fix that piece that broke, didn’t you?” Angela asked. “Maybe he’s just talking about something else.”

“Or someone else,” Velma pointed out. “It may be a line he uses with all the other girls.”

Tilly shook her head and folded her arms again. “No, he’s not like that,” she insisted. “He’s sweet and smart and just dreamy.”

“He’s weird,” Velma retorted dryly.

Betty Ann giggle before looking apologetically at Tilly. “She’s right, Tilly. He’s always mumbling to himself and writing in those notebooks,” she said before her voice faded when Tilly turned to glare at her.

“He is not weird! He is just thinking out loud and those notebooks are going to make him rich one day, you mark my words! Angus Bell has a brilliant mind and his imagination and stories are unbelievable,” Tilly growled, lowering her arms and clenching her fists.

“Okay, he’s brilliant,” Angela interjected, coming to stand in front of Tilly. “But, really? Kidnapping him? What are you going to do once you’ve got him?”

Tilly’s eyes lifted to look with a silent plea at Angela. “Just talk,” Tilly whispered. “And it’s not really kidnapping. I’m just going to lock myself in the broadcast room with him until he either agrees to go out with me or tells me once and for all he’s not interested in me.
