STUPID

After I got back inside, I grabbed the phone and dialed Tony’s number.

“I’m sorry I called you a jerk,” I told him.

“It’s all right,” Tony said. “Sorry I hung up on you.”

“Guess what. I think I might be able to take the fall class.” I told him my plan and then asked,“Why don’t you wait? That way we can take it together.”

“Nah,” he said. “I wanna take it over the summer.”

Sometimes my mouth works faster than my brain. What happened next was one of those times.

“You’re stupid!” I said.

And for the second time that week, Tony hung up on me.
