the story of how my life became awesome (10/?)

Chapter ten.

The next day I woke up. I felt terrible. My head ached and I also was nauseous. My mom walked into my room. ‘Bo you need to get up or you will be late for school.’ She came closer to me. ‘You look awful are you sick?’ ‘Yes I feel terrible.’ ‘Do you want to stay home?’ ‘But only for today.’ ‘Thanks mom’ ‘Just try to sleep a little.’ ‘I will tell your school.’ She kissed me on the cheek. ‘Bye sweetheart’ ‘Bye mom.’ I turned around and looked at the wall. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again. An hour later I woke up. It was half past eleven. Almost lunch time and I felt a little better so time for some food. I putted on my pyjamas and walked downstairs. There was a note on the table. It read: Dear Bo dad and I will be home late since he has a meeting and I have to work overtime. And your sister will eat at Nina’s house. Nina was my sister’s best friend. So this meant I was home alone until at least 19:30. I walked to the kitchen to make some tea when my phone rang. ‘Hello this is Bo’ ‘Hey Bo Darren here, where are you? We’re in the cafeteria but we don’t see you.’ ‘Oh shit is it already that late?! I am so sorry I haven’t let you know anything. But I am sick.’ ‘Oh’ there fell a short silence. ‘How bad is it’ Darren asked. ‘Uhm not that bad I guess I woke up with a headache and I was nauseous.’ ‘But except for that I am okay.’ ‘How are you?’ I asked. ‘I am fine.’ ‘That’s good to hear.’ ‘Well uhm… just go have lunch I will be at school tomorrow again so see you then bye.’ Ah well okay get better soon then.’ ‘And I will see you tomorrow.’ ‘Bye Darren’ ‘Bye Bo’ and he hung up. T o pass the time I went to watch a movie. I woke up to the doorbell apparently I fell asleep while watching the movie. I stood up and walked towards the front door. I looked through the peephole in the door to see who it was. It was Darren. Omg no what is he doing here?! I look awful I can’t open the door. But I can’t let him stand there. I decided to open the door. I was in my pyjama’s it was blue with white stars and I had a messy bun in my hair. I hate it how girls in movies just look so amazing when they just get out of bed but that isn’t real cause when I try that I look like shit. Just as now. So I opened the door and there stood Darren. He pulled his hands behind his back and in his hand he had a card and a box of sweets. He gave them to me. First I got the card out of the envelope it was a little bear that was lying in bed. And then there was another bear with flowers in his paws that said ‘feel better soon’ then I opened the card and read it.It said: dear Bo I missed you at school today lunch wasn’t that fun without you. I hope you feel better soon and will join us again during lunch break. And I had to say that Lauren misses you so here you go she misses you. Hugs and butterfly kisses your Darren. And then under it was in tiny letters in another handwriting written: and Lauren. I laughed aloud. ‘What’s so funny?’ Darren asked. ‘Oh nothing just has Lauren read the card?’ ‘Yes why?’ ‘Well look’ I showed him the words Lauren had written. ‘Oh she wait till I see her tomorrow how dare she to ruin my card.’ ‘It’s not ruined it’s cute’ I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Then he gave me the sweets. Skittles! I said really loud. ‘Yeah is there something wrong with them?’ Darren said blushing. ‘no absolutely not skittles are my favourites!’ ‘Did you know that?’ I asked. ‘Well I talked to Lauren and she said that you once talked about how amazing skittles taste so yeah…’ ‘Oh that is so sweet of you’ ‘You’re such a cutie’ I gave him a hug. Let's go inside the hall is not really nice right? We both laughed. ‘Give me your jacket.’ I said. I can perfectly hang my own coat on the peg. Moreover, you are sick. I smiled. ‘Well if that is what you want.’ We both laughed. ‘Do you want something to drink?’ ‘Yes please that would be nice.’ ‘What do you want?’ ‘Is coke okay?’ ‘Yeah that’s fine.’ I walked to the kitchen when I heard a phone ringing. ‘Is that yours?’ I asked. ‘Yes’ Darren replied. ‘Why don’t you pick up?’ ‘I think that’s rude.’ ‘No it’s okay, just pick up’ so he did. I heard the sound of his voice soften. And I also heard footsteps.  I walked to the living room and saw that he closed the door of the hall. I just stood there in the middle of the room but I couldn't handle it I was too curious. I had always been curious so I walked to the door and listened to the conversation. ‘No Nadine I won’t go out with you’ I heard Darren saying. ‘But we belong together I was stupid for breaking up with you I still love you you’re the love of my life’ I heard the voice on the other side of the line saying. I suppose it was Nadine. There fell a silence. ‘Darren are you still there?’ I heard her saying. ‘Yes Nadine I am still here.’ ‘I just thought that you know I am in the city now and I really miss you so I though that you would maybe give me a second change and will go out with me?’ ‘Well….’ I heard in his voice that he doubted. ‘If I say yes will you let me alone after that?’ during the words if I say I heard a dog barking outside so I wasn’t paying attention. Which meant that the only word I had heard was yes. The words after the ‘yes’ I hadn’t even heard because I ran to the sofa and buried my face in a pillow. I felt the tears streaming down my face but I cried without noise. Then I heard the door slide open and then close. Darren walked to me. ‘Bo what’s wrong?’ ‘Oh nothing’ I said stuttering because of my tears. My whole body was shaking and I couldn’t calm down. ‘Hey’ he said in a soft voice. He took my head in his hands and pushed a few loose tufts of hair behind my ears. ‘Just tell me what's wrong.’ ‘I-I-I he-hea-heard yo-you t-talking o-o-on t-the p-p-phone.’ I said crying. ‘You heard that?’ he said. ‘y-yes’ I said. ‘Oh sweetie please believe me that was nothing’ ‘Well if that was nothing why did you then arranged a date with that that Nadine’ I said her name as if she were vermin. I was not sad I was disappointed and upset with myself that I again fell for all those stupid sweet and kind words. Why would anyone like me why would they? And here again is the prove that no one likes odd boring Bo. ‘Bo look at me’ he said. ‘Will you please believe me if I say that it was nothing?’ ‘I can explain it.’ ‘Two years ago I was in the same class as Nadine she was real hot and all the guys were in love with here. Even me. So can you believe how happy I was when she asked me? I was in love with her for so long already and she asked me, me. So of course I said yes. At first she was so sweet and kind and we did nice stuff together but later I found out that she cheated in me with at that time one of my best friends. I couldn’t believe it. I was torn apart and I felt as if my heart was jerked out of my chest and was beaten in thousand pieces. I hadn’t gone to school for one whole week until my brother brought me back to earth. ‘She is just a girl’ he said to me. ‘Just a girl and if she broke up with you because she fell in love with someone else well then she is not the one for you.’ ‘But the one will come.’ ‘Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but she will come’ after those words I felt better and went back to school. I forgot about Nadine and how she ruined my life. But then two years later I met this beautiful girl and every time I saw her my heart skipped a beat. I interrupted him by saying:  ‘Who was that girl?’ Darren looked at me with his beautiful eyes and said you. ‘It was you Bo’ ‘you’re that beautiful girl who makes my heart skip a beat. A single tear slipped down my face but before it fell off my face Darren wiped it gently away. ‘You are much more beautiful when you smile’ that made me smile like an idiot. ‘That’s better he said’. Suddenly he grasped my hand and pulled me in closer. I stared deep into his eyes. He leaned closer and whispered ‘I love you’ that's when his face lowered into mine and his lips so soft and smooth came in contact with my own. We kissed until I had to pull away for a breath. He chuckled a bit. I looked at him and then lay down on his chest I could hear his heartbeat.
