He's so persistent! Ugh that damn guy.
Wait... how did he even know where I lived? That guy was giving me the creeps. I felt my blood boil before I rushed back up to my room. I needed to make him stop. He knew my number and my address. That's just so creepy. I shivered in disgust and snatched my phone out of my pocket.

'How did you know where I lived?!'

I waited a few seconds before I heard a beep.

'Ah so I take it you finally found out who I am?'

'Uh yeah. Please stop. I don't even know you.'

'Like I said, we can get to know each other! You seem pretty cool so I feel like we'd get along just fine.'

'Too bad. I don't think you are. So we won't.'

'Oh c'mon don't be like that. Just this once please?'

I sighed and flung my phone onto my bed. I didn't have the time and energy to talk to this stubborn and persistent guy. Thank God I turned off the option of letting the recipients see that I've read their messages. He wouldn't know that I was ignoring him...mwahaha.

Walking over to my bed, I laid down and stared at my ceiling just to be interrupted by my ringtone. Ughh I can't even stare at my ceiling in peace!

"Hello?" I answered with a tinge of annoyance in my tone.

"Why didn't you reply my text?"

Oh great. It's the Stubborn Donkey.

I rolled my eyes and begged, "Please, leave me alone. Go find someone else."

"Listen, I don't know what I did but I feel like you're just hating on me since the very start. Seriously, what did I ever do to you?" Jace accused.

I hate to admit it but he's right. Sighing again, I apologized. "Okay.. you're right. I'm sorry okay? Let's just end this in good terms then shall we? Before you give me a reason to hate you."

"No no no. Not so fast. Let's just talk for a little bit come on."

"Ughh fine. What do you want to talk about?"

"Well umm tell me about yourself. Let's see..umm what's your favorite color?" He asked with a little excitement in his voice.

His excitement made me smile a little. I've never met anyone who's actually interested in knowing things about me. It's a bit refreshing.

"My favorite color is yellow. What about you?"

"Mm you serious? Yellow is such a random color. I was expecting like red or pink or something."

"Well I don't know.. I used to have a love hate relationship with yellow. Haha 'cause people used to make fun of me. But now? Give a hell to what others think. I'll like yellow all I want."

"Haha that's the spirit! That's cool though, I think you're the first person I've ever met who likes yellow. Well anyway my favorite color's black."

"Hah how typical."

"Well sorry. It's just such a simple, uncomplicated color. It appeals to me."

"Yeah 'cause it reflects the color of your soul." I joked.

"Hahaha! At least it's still brighter than yours." He rebutted.

"Okay, moving on. What's your favorite number?" Jaced continued with another question.

"Seven! Yup, definitely seven!" I answered excitedly.

"Mm mine's 21"

"Cool!..."

We just talked and laughed all night without realizing the time as we both fell asleep on each other with the line still hanging.

That was the first time in awhile that I fell asleep with a smile on my face. And I wasn't complaining.
