THE GIRL I MET AT THE STAIRS

PHONECALL

*Thud* down the bed, on the back. What a way to start the morning and my holiday. *ouch* ..
It was supposed to be a programme at the school for the students today , but i decided not to go. I was at a phase where such things didn't excite me, but the thought to watching TV all day did.
And! I just got a new smartphone last month. Hehe so you know what it means.

8 in the morning I got out of the bed and was brushing .  I heard the phone ring. I thought it must have been my father's as he's always busy and on the phone. But no it was mine. I checked the number. It wasn't saved. But i had already saved the numbers of almost all the people I know. And I knew about 20-25 people including family so there weren't that many. I am just bad at communicating with others.

I quickly freshened up. And sat down with my phone
I decided to call the number and check it . I didn't notice but my mother was standing right next to me watching me fiddling with my phone first thing in the morning.

The phone rang a few times .
Someone picked up. I could hear loud music playing in the background

"Hello".

" Hi, who's this "

"S******** where are you? Aren't to going to come to school? "

" No am not but who are you? "

" It's me R****, u dumbass "

"Oh !!!! "

It was my 2nd female friend, and in the next few years we grew really close. We weren't related in any way but she felt like a real little sister to me. So i always looked after her . Stood by her whenever she needed me. And she did the same. I am still really grateful to have found a caring little sister although we are in the same class  .

"But where did u get my number from , I was yet to give it to you"

" That doesn't matter , wait a sec  someone wants to talk to you"

"Hey"

I could guess that voice even if the phone call was made from the international space station.
And man I blushed so hard and right at that moment my mom's and my eyes made contact.
Ah sh*t.
She eyed me ,in a way asking"who's on the phone? " I told her off saying that it was my friend asking why I didn't come to school today. Had I told her it was a girl. I would have been out on the road the next moment.
But she took the bait. And I went to my room.

"Hey are u still there? "

"Yeah yeah"

"Where are you? "

"At home, why"

Dude seriously you had to ask "why? "
Gosh younger me was so dumb .

" Aren't you going to come today ? "

"Nah I can't really come now, I would have been a different thing if I went early. I thought no one was going to school today so I stayed in. "

When I said" everyone"  I mainly meant my guy friends.

"No , everyone's here, and who told you that.  You can still make it if you head out now. "

Those damn bastards pranked me.

"Sorry I don't think my parents will let me go now "

" Hmph!!. Fine do as u wish!! "

She still sounds so cute when she's angry.
I was just adoring her voice in my head. And forgot that I had to atleast respond  to her.

"Hey u still there? "

" Ah -um -Ye-yeah" . Man I was stuttering really hard.

" Are you really not going to come? " .

She asked in a voice so soft. I was just taken aback. I really wished I went back then.

"No. But it's alright we'll meet tomorrow anyway "

"Yeah. But-"

"But what? "

"I wanted to see you TODAY"

I don't know what my face looked like at that moment but I can clearly imagine it being like a bright red tomato.

" Okay I gotta go, see you tomorrow, bye!"

"Bye" I hung up . And sat there for a few moments trying to figure out what happened

What a way to start the morning. My first call with the girl I met at the school stairs !..
