•<>•1 week & 3 days later•<>•
Thursday. The day before I have to try and not humiliate myself in front of my... Uh... "Friend-boy"? I guess...
I should be at school right now, but instead I am at home sitting in a chair looking outside the window.
Oh, and I'm sick. With a fever. Yay me.
I really couldn't do much at home because my mom goes to work and my brother is in college, and I can't text my friends because they're at school, as well. I have to wait til 3rd period to be able to text Hannah and/or Cole...
I need to get better. Fast. The date is tomorrow and I haven't even picked out what to wear and all that girly stuff.
I'm so tired and my nose is stuffed up to the point where I can't even breathe.
I decided to go back to sleep.
----------------- 3 hours later -----------------
KNOCK! KNOCK!
I hear someone at the door and instantly panick. It can't be my mom because she doesn't come back home til 1:45 and it's only 10:33
It can't be my brother either.
I decide to close all the shades silently and make my way downstairs into the kitchen. I grab a pan, and yes, I know. It's a pan that I am using to hurt someone if necessary.
I look through the peep hole in my door and see its Cole. I was literally about to whack my um... "Friend boy" in the face. With a pan.
I hold the pan behind my back and open door.
"Hey Emma... Hannah told me you were sick and I wanted to check up on you..." He says.
"Oh thanks!" I say, "how'd you know where I live?" I ask curiously.
"Hannah. She said she saw you go home ." He says cooly.
"Oh well thanks for checking in on me..." I say.
Then we just stand there like idiots..
"Ahem... Um... Can I come in?" He says awkwardly looking at the ground.
"Oh yeah!" I say, "give me a minute..."
I close the door and throw the pan across the room not worrying about where it lands. I open the door and wait for him to come in.
I was listening to music which I forgot was blasting throughout my house so I go upstairs to turn it off.
Cole was waiting for me at the end of the stairs so I ran down and for some stupid reason I forgot I had 4 more steps to go and I fly down the stairs.
Only to land on top of Cole... Yeah that's definitely not awkward at all.
"Hey Em..." He says.
"God, I seriously need to stop falling for you... Literally." I say with a smile.
We soon just stare at each other and he caresses my face and pulls me close to his lips...
Then the door opens.
