Chapter 16
AT THE GUYS HOUSE

While everyone was outside having a great time, inside the house the phone was ringing. AJ was the only one who heard it, so he went inside to answer it.
AJ: Hello?
Amanda: HOW COULD YOU AJ!!! I TRUSTED YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!!
AJ: Calm down Amanda! Not to tell what?
Amanda: ABOUT THE DATE WITH HOWIE!!!
AJ: Oh!!! Amanda he�s my friend too, and he was worried�. So I told him.
Amanda: I TRUSTED YOU WITH SOMETHING PERSONAL, AJ!!! SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!!!
AJ to his surprise was then thrown across the room, hitting the wall and landing on a table. Everyone outside heard the noise and ran inside.

Brian: What happened, AJ?
AJ: I don�t know, one minute I was one the phone with Amanda yelling at me and then I was flying across the room.
Brandy: Why was Amanda yelling at you?
AJ: A while ago she told me something that she didn�t want anyone else to know, but I told Howie, because it was sort of about him and I guess she found out.
Amber: (quietly) Oh no!

AT THE GIRLS HOUSE

Howie just watched as Amanda yelled into the phone at AJ. After a minute or so of yelling, Amanda put her finger up to the receiver, and he could hear a scream from the other end. She then hung up the phone with an angry expression on her face.
Howie: What did you do to AJ?
Amanda: I gave him what I think he deserves!
Howie: And that would be?
Amanda: Howie, it�s none of your business!
Howie: Yes it is, he�s my friend and I have the right to know what happened to him!
Amanda: Do you want a demonstration?
After she said that, Howie got a little worried about what she did to AJ.
Howie: No, just tell me.
Amanda answered after a while of silence, thinking if she should tell him.
Amanda: (shrugs shoulders) I threw him across the room.
Howie: You used your magic to hurt him?!?! I thought you didn�t hurt anyone with your magic!
Amanda: I don�t, unless they do what AJ did, which I don�t want or like happening, because it�s happened in my past!
Howie: I�m guessing that what AJ told me was something really personal to you.
Amanda then sat in a chair.

Amanda: Yes it was, but it�s too late now since you already know.
Howie: Well, then can you answer a question?
Amanda: Sure.
Howie: Why are you embarrassed that I was picked to go out with you?
Amanda: I�m not embarrassed of you! It�s just that I don�t want you to think that I�m desperate or something.
Howie: I certainly doubt that you would be desperate to get a date! But why don�t you want me to think that you�re desperate?
Amanda: Because�. I a�ireallyreallylikeyou!!!
Howie: (laugh) What? This time a little slower.
Amanda: (quietly) I� like you.
Amanda blushed and looked away, while Howie just smiled.
Howie: I like you too Amanda, that�s why I came over here, to ask you if you would go out with me?
Amanda: I�
