No I'm India

I sat on my bed, engrossed in my book. I had nearly finished The Vampire Academy Series.
I was glad when my mum told me I could read again. My phone started to ring, loud and annoying, making me jump out of my Dimitri induced state. My heart started beating faster. It was Hunter. It had to be. I leaped out bed and made a grab for my phone. I didn't bother looking at the caller ID.

"Hello." I said breathlessly.

"Hey Indi." A voice said, one that didn't sound one bit like Hunter's.

"Hey Za." I say, slightly disappointed that it wasn't Hunter.

Me and Hunter hadn't spoken since the party a few days ago. He wasn't in at lunches either, so I confined myself to the small corner table. I knew it wasn't that he was avoiding me, just that we conflicting schedules these past few days.

"Glad to see you sound happy to hear from me." Zara said, sarcasm lacing her voice.

I sighed. Zara shouldn't have to deal with my annoyance at not hearing from Hunter.

"Sorry Za. There's just a lot going on right now. Nothing for you to worry about though. So, tell me why you called." I apologise, casually changing the subject.

It wasn't that I didn't want to tell Zara, it's just that I wanted to keep it on the down low for a while. I also didn't want her to feel bad about not being able to be here. I knew that while she acted like hearing school gossip didn't affect her, she hated not being able to experience it all first hand.

"Oh yeah!" Her voice suddenly rose and went a few octaves higher. This only happened when she was excited about something.

"Guess who arranged for me to stay with him for fortnight next week?" She asked. I could almost see her jumping on the bed and waving her hands about; another thing she did when excited. It was kind of a weird sight, someone in full gothic attire jumping around like a five year old.

"Oh my gosh!!!!! Really?" I almost started jumping around myself. It had been way too long since I last saw Zara.

"Yep! Next week I'll be staying with my dad for two weeks. Ooh, sorry Indi, my mum's calling me! I'll see you in a week!"

"See ya!"

We both hung up, and I could barely contain my excitement.

I rushed up, and ran down the stairs to the kitchen, where my mother was.

She had her back to me, and was chopping vegetables.

I sat down at one of the chairs in the kitchen.

"Hey sweetie, are you hungry?" She asked her back still to me.

"No, I'm India." I joked.

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah I do. Guess who's coming back for a couple of weeks next week?"

"Hmm.. I have no idea."

I rolled my eyes. My mum knew who I was talking about.

"Is it Zara?"

"Of course!"

"Well, I hope you girls have fun. I know you missed her."

I did.

I hopped of the chair I was on, and walked into the living room.

I settled down, and watched some Pretty Little Liars, and fell asleep a little while later.

For some reason, all I could picture was beautiful eyes, and a warm smile.

Hey guys!

So a bit of a filler chapter.

Zara's coming back! YAY!

I really can't wait to write about what the girls do together.

Comment if you want longer chapters, I've been thinking about it, but don't quite know yet.

BTW- This is a day early. I have my reasons. So this is the chapter for Thursday that you're getting late on a Wednesday!

Okay, I'm going to go read other stories now.

See ya on Saturday for the next chapter.

Bye
