Freckles.
He called me Freckles.
Nerd Boy Maddox- well now hes going to be called as Maddie- called ME Freckles.
Subconsciously, I lightly touched my freckles. I skimmed my hand through them. I never really like them. I always felt like they looked more like pimples rather than freckles. Freckles are supposed to be sexy. Mine are so far away from sexy. They make me look like some kind of cocaine-addicted teen with a skin infection.
I was trying hard not to focus on the fact that me and Maddox had decided to enact Irrevocable Love. That boy was something else.
When he told me this idea, my mind went blank for two minutes. I hardly had two full-fledged conversations with him and now I was going to remake a love story with him in real life? Just when I thought my life couldnt get any more boring, this had to happen.
Although, I am kind of glad this happened. As much as I try to repel the guy, something always attracts me to him. Its so strange how weve sat on the same bus for almost 4 years and this is the only time I have actually gotten to know him. The guys a huge piece of puzzle that I cannot wait to solve.
I couldnt for the life of me figure out why he made this offer. The only people who know about my book are my mom, me, the asshole publishers and now Maddox.
I lay on my bed thinking about why I agreed to this and how we would go about re-making it when my phone dings.
Maddie: Send me the pdf to your book. Ill talk to you about it tomorrow after finishing it.
Natalie: 2morow????????? Its pretty long yk
Maddie: No problem for me. I love books.
Natalie: Lord help u Maddie
Maddie: Stop calling me Maddie, Freckles.
Natalie: Stop calling me Freckles ur making me conscious of those lil shits
Maddie: Lil shits? Theyre sexy as fuck, Natalie.
I blushed so much, you could just start calling me Tomato.
Natalie: damn Maddie who thot u found my freckles sexy?
Maddie: Just send me the damn pdf.
Natalie: *pdf attachment*
And thus, I was delivered on seen.
Yay life.
About 10 minutes later, I heard the door open. Mom must be home from the shop.
"Hi honey, Im home!"
I rushed down the stairs screaming, "Foooooddddd," at the top of my lungs. I was surprised I hadnt lost my voice.
My mom was chuckling as she took out the Chinese take-out boxes from the bag.
"I love you so much, Mom. Youre the best. Please dont leave me."
I wasnt one to show affection, but this woman knew me so well.
"I love you too, Nat. So how was school today?"
"Eh, same old same old, I stuffed the egg rolls down my throat, oh, I almost forgot. You have a date tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, but Im not too optimistic about it. None of my dates go well. Last time, the woman told me she was an accountant but when I met her I found out she was a trapeze artist."

RomansaAll Natalie has ever wanted in life is to write her own book and get into Oxford. The Oxford part, she can do alone. But the publishing part needs a publisher and that's precisely the area she's been having trouble in. She has been working so hard...
