just this once

chapter seven:

i closed my eyes and pressed... accept. 

why worry about silly little things, it's just a friend request it doesn't mean anything... does it?  my mind was spinning and i just needingto do something to get my mind off things. i picked up my cell phone and scrolled through the contacts. i stopped when i came to my favourite cousin Mandy. Mandy and me had grown up together and we always went on vacation together but last summer she moved to California and it broke my heart to see her go, we weren't just cousins... we were like sisters.

i dialed her number and after a few rings she picked up. "hello this is mandy" she said in a happy voice."hey mandy its abby"  i replied. "OH MY GOSH!! ABBY I HAVENT TALKED TO YOU IN A YEAR!!" she squeled into the phone." hah i know when are you coming to vist?" i asked. " that sfor me to know and you to find out..." sh esaid sneakly. " what ?" i questioned, but then the doorbell rang and i got up to go get it.

when i got downstairs Mandy was still talking away on the pone in my ear and. as i looked through the peephole on the door i couldnt see anyone standing there so i slowly opened the door. i looked around but i still couldnt see anything. right as i was about to close the door a figure jumped out from the side and i screamed at the top of my lungs and shut my eyes tight in fear of being kidnappedd. when nothing moved for i second i opend my eyes to see none other then my favourite cousin Mandy Bell!!! we both happily squeled in unison and i pulled her into a tight hug.

"when did you get here?" i asked after we were done hugging and yelling. " my whole family flew in yesterday!" she said. " and when were you planning on telling me about your visit?" i asked.  "well.... thats the thing... " she trailed off. " what ..?" i was tottaly confused. " I MOVED BACK HERE!" she yelled. "OH MY GOSH REALLY!!" i screamed. and we hugged again. " i will be coming to the same highschool as you" she said excitedly. " wow this is fantastic" i said and we talked long into the night about everything that we missed in the past year.

Mandy slept over last night and we got ready for school together this morning. despite it being her first day of school  she wasn't even nervous, unlike me on my first day. we sat beside each other on th bus while Alicia sat infront of us.

when we arrived at school Mandy just walked right in and made herself at home. i took her to the office to get her schedule and she has 2 classes with me english and math. to be honest im kind of glad that she doesn't have gym with me becuase i've always been jealous of Mandy's natural beauty and i guess i'm just afraid that Landon will see her and forget all about me. 

at lunch i once again scanned the room for Landon but didn't see him anywhere. i wonder where that boy disapears to at lunch. Mandy must have seen me looking around because she asked who i was looking for. " oh just my sister" i lied. i still hadnt told her about the whole Landon situation, but was there even a situation? although he DID try to kiss me... im not even sure what is happening anymore. i dont even know this boy! what could i be walking into by becoming friends with him.. or more! 

Mandy got along with all my friends at the table and she especially connected with my friend Adam. she obviously has a crush on him and im pretty sure he might like her too. i mean whats not to like about Mandy she is really tall with shoulder length brown hair and deep brown eyes to match, she has a great sense of style and she lives her life like she doesnt care what other people think about her. i constntly get jealous of how she can just tune out all the haters while i take every rude comment like a stab too the back.

as i entered the gym changeroom i realized once again that i had no gym clothes and i had to borrow Chloe's short shorts for gym agian. sh eeagreed to let me use them but when i put them on they felt even shorter then last time! it's not like i dont own a pair of short shorts but i get self concious about my image because i personally point out everyone of my flaws every night.

exiting the changeroom i realized this would be the first time i have seen Landon since he tried to kiss me. what if it gets really akward between us? oh no now im starting to get nervous and sweaty. what if he asks me personally about why i didnt want to kiss him? its not like i dont ever want to kiss him, i am just worried that if we did kiss he  would regret it and wouldnt want to tell anyone about it becasuse me being a grade 9 and him a grade 12 he would be embaressed.

Mr.Cross, our gym techer, said we would be running laps again today so i just startted off at a small pace trying to keep my distance from the crowd so that i wouldnt have to talk to Landon. i could see him running a couple of meters infront of me and his hair was swaying perfectly in the wind, while he was running like a champion. his tan legs catching the sun beautifally. WAIT what was i doing! i was the one who was supposed to be level headed about this whole thing. why was i suddenly daydreaming about Landon Penn? i shook my head to drag these thoughts out of my brain and focused on my running only 2 more laps to go, i was pretty far behind now and i knew i was going to be last one to the changeroom again wich means i would have to wait for a shower and would most deffinitly miss the bus.. AGAIN. *sigh* i should really stop worrying so much, its bad for the face.

i focused on the trees surrounding the field and the perfect blue sky today was a very beautiful day and i was glad to be outside and enjoying it. just then i noticed my shoe was untied. i bent down to tie it and noticed something on the ground next to my foot. it was an iphone and it looked new so i picked it up to look at it.

 it seemed as though it had no lock on it so just for the sake of curiosity i opened up the main screen and emmediantly wished i hadn't...
