Let me go

5

I message Jack

"Hey, how was foot training the other day :')"

About two minutes later I get a reply.

Good

That's good. How are you?

Good, u

I'm good thanks, wyd?

Nothing, u

Same :')

Ok

Yea. So what do you have planned this holidays?

Idk

Yea, um great talk. I'm guessing you don't wanna talk bye.

Bye

Well. That went well. I can never talk to him where he says more than one or two words. But I guess it's good he messages me at all. He could not reply.

I go out in the lounge room and watch movies. Juno and LOL. By then it's been 4 hours hours. Ughhhh! It's only 11:49. Too early. I lock my phone and throw it to the other end of the couch. I throw my head back into the cushion and someone is calling me. No Caller ID. It's probably Riley.
"Hello?"

"Hey"

The voice is familiar but i don't recognise who it is.

"Who's this?"

"Oh, aha sorry, it's Jack"

I froze.

"Oh, uhh hey"

"haha I was wondering what you were doing today"

"Uh nothing why?"

"Do you wanna hang out"

I put him on mute and scream into a pillow and turn him off mute

"Sure."

"Okay cool, I'll be at yours in about an hour, cya"

Oh. My. GOD! I forgot he knows where I live. I look like shit! My hair is curly and I have no make up on. And I'm wearing pj shorts and a baggy t-shirt. I Change into some good clothes, jeans and a pretty top. I put make up on like I do every school day and I pin back the front parts of my hair. I still look like shit, but decorated shit.
