Not the real me (On Hold)

Chapter four

*BEEP*

I jumped at the sudden sound telling me i had a text message. i quickly turned the stove off and ran to my bedroom to go get my phone. i picked my phone from my bed and saw who the text was from

"hey Goodmorning! hope your awake now. text me back if you are. we gotta talk about that date, remember? xx -RALPH"

woah. i smiled and replied to him.

"yeah im awake, goodmorning to you too :) i'll call after 10 mins. doing something. xx -JEWEL"

 

i took one last look at my phone before heading to the kitchen to cook my breakfast. 

after eating i decided to call Ralph, and so i did. and he answered at the first ring. it was like he was waiting for me to call him all this time. i smiled at that thought.

"Hey, Ralph. whats up?" i said.

"i was just waiting for you to call" he said, awwww isnt he a sweetheart? i smiled and said

"really? well... what do you wanna talk about?"

"oh right! the date! i cant today. my mom needs me for something i really dont care and i cant refuse cause you know.. she's the boss.." he said. mumbling out the last part. my smile fell but i couldnt let him know that i was sad about it. i didnt want him to think of me as that desperate.

"oh yeah, its fine with me." i said, trying my best to sound normal. although i know to myself that i really was upset. i mean, i was so looking forward to this day.

"really? oh thank you Jewel. but i'll really make it up to you. what about tomorrow? im sure im free,  but are you?" he asked. i couldnt help but smile

"ofcourse. just call me whenever" i chirped. 

"alright! tomorrow it is. i'll call tomorrow morning just in case but i'll text you tonight about it." he said sounding happy. i giggled.

"okay! see you tomorrow!"

"you too!"

and with that i ended the call. i sighed. atleast i dont need to think of anything for today, oh wait.. i need to call Lizzie and tell her about this. i tapped away her number and called. she didnt answer. oh thats weird. so tried calling again.

"Finally! whats up with you not answering?"

"payback." she said laughing out an evil one.

"Ha-ha not funny" i said trying my best to sound upset but i know Lizzie knows me more than i do myself.

"whatever! why'd you call?" she asked

"because my date just cancelled on me."

"NO WAY!  he did not!"

"oh yes he did. but its okay, we talked it over the phone and he said he'll take me out tomorrow cause he got something to do for his mom or something like that."

"ooooh a momma's boy. thats cute." she said teasingly

"whatever Lizz atleast i have a date, hey speaking of which.. what happened to you and hottie boy i saw yesterday? did he get your number? is he calling you? did he ask you out?"

"no, no, and NO. we're not that close to one another. i just saw him a couple of times in school and same for him and yesterday was the first time we talked. but i really, really do like him." she said sighing and sounding a bit upset.
