It was— Amanda was smart. She could tell something was wrong. She just couldn’t guess what it was, maybe because she didn’t think it was possible.One day after school we drove to FroYo–Go, our favorite frozen yogurt spot. I got vanilla with “fresh” strawberries (though they always looked like the prepackaged, syrupy kind to me), and Amanda got her standard peanut butter yogurt with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces on top. We sat in the window and watched cars pull into the strip mall. A few more people from school came in, but no one we knew really well, so we just exchanged a couple of casual smiles.We were talking about how Henry really wanted to go to this USC film school summer program, but I could tell that Amanda’s mind was somewhere else. I could see in her eyes that she was working out a worry in the back of her head.So I asked her: “What are you really thinking about?”And she told me: “I think you’ve been acting weird about Ethan.”Play dumb, just play dumb.
