Chapter 18
AJ: Come in.
Amanda walked into AJ�s room and looked around, she saw that his room was a lot cleaner than all her friend�s rooms.
Amanda: AJ I�m sorry for what I said and did to you. It�s just that what I told you meant a lot to me for it to be a secret.
AJ: I know, I shouldn�t have told Howie. It was your secret for me to keep to myself.
Amanda: Actually now I�m glad you told him.
A smile played on AJ�s lips.
AJ: Why is that, might I ask?
Amanda saw AJ�s smile and had to smile herself.
Amanda: I�m guessing that you already know why.
AJ: Yup, and that�s because I know all!
They both laughed at his remark.
AJ: So, did he ask you out yet?
Amanda blushed.

Amanda: Actually he did, but I didn�t get a chance to answer him.
AJ: Well, lets get downstairs and answer him!

DOWNSTAIRS

While Amanda was upstairs talking to AJ, Amber was talking with Howie in the kitchen.
Amber: So, did you take my advice and tell her?
Howie: Yes, but when I asked her out she didn�t get to reply because you came in.
Amber: Oh I�m sorry, I�m sure she�ll answer later when there is no one around.
Howie: I hope she does, because it�s killing me to wait for her answer. I just hope it's a yes.
Amber: Me too!

Later that night after dinner, everyone went outside to hang around. Amanda pulled Howie to the side of the house.
Amanda: Howie, I would love to go see a movie with you again!
Howie: You would?!
Amanda and Howie both smiled.
Amanda: Yes, I would.
Howie�s smile grew bigger to the extent where you could see all of his beautiful teeth.
Howie: I�ll pick you up tomorrow at 6:30 then?
Amanda: I�ll be waiting.
Amanda and Howie walked back to the rest of the group, hand in hand.
