It was finally Saturday and I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. It was my very first kiss.
"Hey honey" my mum got downstairs and sat beside me on the couch. "Morning mum" I said, concentrating on the netflix series I was watching.
"Your school called and said there's going to be a field trip in two weeks time. Are you aware?" My mum asked
What? Field trip? I never went on one before.
"No I'm not aware of anything happening in that school"
"Well you have to go cause I and your dad are going on a business trip overseas and you can't stay home alone for two weeks "
"What? Mum no I can't go " I can't sleep in the same building as Erik Montgomery for two weeks. I might end up killing him or dieing .
"Why not?" She asked looking at her phone.
"Cause...I have- "
"You need it for your college application, you know that right?" My mum said and left to the kitchen.
Ughh no
My phone peeped few seconds later. I checked and saw an unknown number.
Unknown
Are you asleep?
Me
And who are you?
Unknown
Guess
Me
I'm going to call the cops if you don't tell me who you are
Unknown
Okay chill
It's me Erik
Me
And how did you get my number ?
Unknown
Why do you want to know that?
Me
Cause its my number asshole!
Unknown
Hmm that's quite true
Me
Yes. What do you want?
Unknown
Firstly, I want to apologise on behalf of my brother
Me
Your brother? What did he do to me?
Unknown
The storage room incident
Me
Oh that's your brother?
Cool
Unknown
Cool?
That's it?
Me
Um..what do you want me to say again?
Unknown
Oh nothing .
Me
Um....okay if that's all..goodnight
Unknown
Yeah.
Weird
How did he get my number?
I dropped my phone and continued my series.
I stopped watching when I checked the time to see that it was already 6 in the evening
Wow I must have been so immersed in the series that I forgot I had to practice my acting skills since it was almost end of the year.
I went up to my room, deeping myself into the scripts for the next two hours.
"Tilda go get the door" my mum yelled from her bedroom. How did she possibly hear and I didn't
I opened the door and saw "Abigail? "It came out more like a question.
"Hey Mal "she pushed her way inside the house.
"What are you doing here so late?" I asked her, following her to my room.
"So let me just say this straight, I like Erik okay?" What? Why is she telling me this now?
"Okay?" I said
"You're my bestie, mal sweetie " Sweetie? Okay "and I don't want anything ruining our friendship okay?" She swatted her eyelashes. Um..I'm not falling for that again.
"You came all the way here to tell me you have a crush on Erik " I checked my phone "by the way this is 8:21pm" unbelievable
I knew Abigail was crazy but this is too much. She might think I'm still her 'bestie', but she's definitely not mine.
"Yeah..just wanted us to be cool. We cool right?" She scrolled through her phone not even sparing me a glance.
"Um..yeah I guess " I waited for her to saw something so I could go back to my rehearsal or maybe try something even better..sleep.
"Okay bye" she said and rushed out. I sighed in disbelief
I locked the door behind me and went to sleep.
