Page 37 of Anyone But Her

"Would you stop worrying about that? If you really like Luke, then forget about your brother. Or maybe date Luke but don't tell Cal. See if this attraction you have to Luke could actually go somewhere or if it's just attraction and nothing else. If you find you only like Luke for his looks and nothing else, then it's not worth telling Cal."

"I don't know, Birdie. It might be better to just leave it as is. Let Luke think I only see him as a friend."

"But you don't. You see him as more than that and you've been thinking about him for months now. Go out with him this week and see how it goes."

"I can't go out with Luke without Cal. He'd suspect something's going on."

"Then Cal can go with but find a way to get rid of him so you and Luke have some time alone."

"I'll try but I don't know how that's going to work."

"You'll figure something out."

"I'll let you get back to studying. Thanks for the advice."

"Anytime. Let me know what happens."

"I will. Bye!"

What am I going to do? How can I get Luke alone without Cal getting suspicious?

Maybe I should just forget the whole thing. Maybe Birdie is wrong and Luke really does only see me as a friend. But what if he sees me as more than that?

I have to know. I have to somehow find out. Not knowing is driving me crazy!

This is going to be an interesting week.
