Written Words Left Unsaid (Michael Cliffofd Fanfic)

Chapter 2

We sat around the bench in Denique's kitchen, drinking juice and eating cake, like we always did. I was trying to eat slowly, hoping to get out of what my friends had come up with.

'You have to eat faster!' Denique said to me. I looked up from where I has been picking bits off my cake and eating it.

'Why?'

'Because you have to call that guy from the park!' Mikayla said.

'Why?' I asked again.

'Why not? We have nothing else to do, and this will be funny,' Sally said with a mouthful of cake.

'How will this be funny? He just asked me if I wanted to write some songs with him, that was it!' I protested.

'Hayley, Hayley, Hayley, he was hitting on you. Accept it, and call the guy. What was his name again?' Sally said in a matter of fact tone. I groaned.

'His name was Michael, and I don't think he was hitting on me, he looked way too old to be hitting on me anyways. You saw him Sal, he was like at least three years older than us.'

'Age is just a number!' Mikayla said. I turned to her with my reply.

'And jail is just a room!' We burst out laughing. After we calmed down I sighed.

'Fine, I'll call him, but you have to all be quiet! No laughing and if you do you must leave and never return!' I warned them. They agreed and then I pulled my phone out from my other pocket and dialled his number.

It rang once, twice, three times and still no answer. I had my phone held and on speaker so we could all hear the conversation. I looked around to my friends who all had massive grins on their faces, finding this hilarious. I looked back to the phone, it rang again, and then Michael answered.

'Hello?' He asked.

'Hey, it's Hayley, from the park,' I said. My friends nearly burst into fits of laughter at that point, but when I shot them a glare they just held it together.

'Oh, hey! I didn't expect you to call so soon. I thought you would be hanging out with your friends or something,' he laughed.

'Well this is my friends and I hanging out. We just call randoms for the thrill of it!' I joked.

'Nice, am I on speaker?' He asked laughing.

'Yep, say hi to everyone! There's Sally, Jaz, Mikayla and Denique,' I laughed back.

'Sup guys!' He yelled back.

'Hey,' they chorused. We laughed for a bit then started talking again.

'So, what now?' Michael asked us. My friends looked to me and raised their eyebrows.

'Well, from the looks I'm getting, do you want to come hang with us?' I said. There was silence for a few moments.

'Yeah, that would be cool. And I found a singlet!' He declared.

'Well it's a start, meet you at the park in five?' I said.

'Sounds good to me,' he said, 'Catch you babes soon.'

Then the line went dead. My friends fell to the ground in stitches from laughing so much.

'Come on! We have to go guys,' I said to them. We got up and walked back to the park. We laughed and joked along the way, and when we reached the table again we sat down and made ourselves comfortable.

Jaz was siting across the table from me, she had long dark brown hair that was shaped into a side fringe to the right of her face, he brown eyes sparkling in the sunshine.
