My ringtone wakes me up and I lazily run my hand over my reading desk in search of my phone.
I see an unknown number and pick up the call.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's me again"
"Who" I obviously know who
"Erica. The girl under the rain" she says in a weak attempt to describe herself and laughs
"Okay?"
"Was wondering if your free this evening"
"Why you wondering that?"
"You know what I mean"
I take a mental quick run through my schedule and I'm meant to play fortnite with Lucas but curiosity gets the best of me.
"I'm free, why?" I obviously know why
"Wanna meet up for coffee or whatever you want is fine"
I let out a chuckle and play along
"I know a pizza place on third avenue"
"Sure, google map me and I'll see you there by seven"
"No problem"
I end the call and g downstairs to make breakfast. Living off campus without parents has been one of the best decisions I've made... Well, my parents have made. It gives me so much peace and freedom. People ask why I don't throw parties but that's cause of the clean up and the fear of mum and dad's sudden appearance.
I go to have my bath then drive off to school.I get a message from an unknown number which I presume is Erica.
"You haven't sent the address😕"
"Sorry, I'll send it now" I text back.
"Can I get your house address too"
" I can't give a stranger my house address"
"But I want to pick you up"
"I can drive"
"In less than two weeks we won't be strangers any more🙂"Creepy
I send the address of the pizza place and switch off my phone.

I can't believe I'm willingly going out on a date with I girl I just barely met yesterday under the rain.
I pull out a maroon hoodie and grey sweats and leave the house with my car keys.
I take a 2 minute drive to El canto's and get to the entrance. I walk in and take a quick scan . I see the familiar pink hair waving at me with so much enthusiasm. She picks up a bouquet of flowers laying by her side, sniffs it and hands it over to me when I reach the table.
"Here"
"Why?"
"I walked pass a flower store and these ones reminded me of you, so I got them"
"Thanks" I take them from her hands and place them next to me. What does a boy do with flowers it's always the girl that gets them. I take in a more detailed look at her face as she sits in front of me. She has her curly pink hair packed in two messy buns, hazel brown eyes, freckles scattered across her cheeks and nose on light brown skin. A really pretty girl if I might add.
"Let me go check on our order" she says and gets up, giving me a chance to take in her whole physique. Her thick round ass is hugged by a pair of blue jeans. Model like legs walk over to the counter. She walks back and her orange crop top fails to hide her cute belly button and slim waist giving her the perfect hour glass shape.Why the fuck did she go for me. Wait what if she didn't, what if she's using me to get to Lucas or something. Ya she obviously wants something from me. She takes her seat and opens the pizza. She has this satisfying look on her face as she takes in the scent of the pizza. She's about to take out a slice then she looks at me and hits her forehead with her palm.
"Gentlemen first" she says and turns the box to face meme I pick up a slice and watch her pick one after me."What do you want from me?" I ask out of curiosity.
"To be friends"she replies and laughs "didn't me to scare you there"
"No I'm not scared I'm just surprised"
"That what?" She takes another bite out of her pizza.
"Like your so pretty, your meant to have like a boyfriend or at least not go around asking for boys numbers"
"You make it sound offensive. But thanks for the compliment" she smiles making her plump pink lips look a lot hotter.I'm I really eye raping a stranger
"My name's Noah"
She gets confused
"You lied to me?""No, no. It's just..."
"You did"
"I'm sorry, I find it hard to trust people I just met"
"Oh. I kind of liked Daniel better"
"Ouch"
"I'm joking"
"You?"
"Me what?"
"What's your name"
She looks at me for about 5 seconds then starts laughing and I'm genuinely confused.
"I told you my real name. Erica, Erica Tomiwa Coleman"
"I love your name"
"Thank you sir" she says in a well crafted british accent.
She looks at her watch and says "it's getting late. I have an assignment to finish so we'll have to end it here, sadly"I feel slightly disappointed.
We both get up then she stares at me as she comes closer, I can feel her body heat radiating on me. She uses her index finger to tuck a stray hair behind my ear. I feel a slight shiver then she says "good night" and walks away.
