Zara couldn't face Jake for the next few days and avoided stepping in the cafeteria whenever possible. She diligently went around attending all classes and even some extra classes. She managed to skip one or two when she had a common class with Jake. Veronica noticed her odd behavior but couldn't keep it to herself and spoke up after a week.
Veronica got an idea and decided that she would sort things out between them. She didn't want her best friend ignoring yet another boy when they had suddenly started noticing her. She typed on her phone furiously while Zara was busy copying notes from the blackboard. She nudged her to pay attention but she was too busy in her phone.
Zara looked at her frustrated, "Hey, whom are you texting?"
Veronica replied, "My boyfriend"
Zara exclaimed, "What?" and was met with the angry glare of their history teacher. Veronica had her full attention now. Zara elbowed her, "When did you get a boyfriend?"
