The next move

Chapter 3

The next morning I thought I might, go for a run, it was only 6:00am so no one would see me. I put on some shorts and a top on. I slowly grabbed my runners and started stretching. I grabbed my phone, my key and my ear-phones. I jog to the gate and start running, I don't know where I'm going but I need fresh air. While slowly walking down a hill I see the beach not too far ahead so I sprint the rest of the way. The sound of the ocean made me feel at home, it calmed me down, the small waves touching my toes, and then the water pulling back, repeatedly. I wasn't listening to music yet so I enjoyed the sun rising and the chirps of the birds around me. Tomorrow was my first day of school and I was nervous but also in a way, excited. Because I came 3/4 of the way through a term I only had 1/4 left. Which was good, not too much work!

*ding ding*

I really need to change that ringtone of mine. Wait what I got a text, oooooh who from?? I look at it and don't recognise the number.

"Hey babe, it's Jake from the restaurant last night?" Haha I never got your name by the way?"

Ohhhh it was that guy from last night! I never gave him my name did I? Awkward much! Im about to text him back but wonder why he is up so early in the morning, then I thought about it. Why am I awake at this time?
"Oh hey Jake, it's Chelsea. Yeah sorry I never asked for your name... Just wondering what are you doing awake at this time?"
He replies almost instantly.
"Nice name, Chelsea. I could ask you the sane thing? I was going for a run and thought I should ask you, on a date tonight... What do you say Chelsea?"

Whoa whoa whoa, let me read that again. Slowly, "on a date tonight... What do you say Chelsea?" Holy moly! I did read it right...

I still haven't replied to that text yet, and I'm not sure if I should, I barely know him, yet if I go on this "date" maybe I will. It's too early to be going on dates! I just got here. I keep walking home slowly. I get slower until I just roll my ankle, I look around to see if anyone saw me. Nope, keep walking Chelsea keep walking! Why Chelsea? Why are you so clumsy!!!!?

I get home in a least 20 minutes, everyone is sleeping still, but it's only 8:00am so it's okay, I'm going back to sleep. I go to my room and cuddle the blanket, before my eyes fall, I decide to text Jake back...

"Sure why not..."

I turn my phone off and place it on my bed side table. I try to keep my eyes open but whilst thinking about this date, I drift off to sleep thinking about what might happen.

Sorryyyyyyyyy
