Chapter 12 :}

I kept an eye on Low after that, we stayed at the park until 3 and he was constantly glancing up at her. She always smiled back. It's like he'd heard our conversation and was now noicing she was alive.  She'd had a goofy smile on her face since we left. But Low's the 'player', the one that passes girls along like they're hand-me-downs. Even if he does suddenly like her, it would be nothing compared to how much Bells likes him. If she gets hurt because of him it'll end up breaking her like breaking a glass, pretty much impossible to get it back to how it was.

She seemed so happy though, I didn't voice my concerns. She'd over come a pretty big mile stone for her too, in actually managing to breifly talk to him. When I say breif I mean 'Hey Bella can you pass me the ball?', 'Sure.' , 'Thanks Dimples.' This was their conversation and she hated being called Bella, but obviously she wasn't going to tell him that and he'd given her a nickname, which she was on cloud nine about. She also had never been a huge fan of her dimples, but now she was thanking Heaven above that they were a part of her face.

She was just very happy, if I didn't know any better I'd say she was on drugs.

We were back at mine, and surfing through Netflix. Not that she was much help. She is texting the crap out of her thumb muscles. You can probably guess who to. Her phone pings again and she let out a little squeal.

"Care to explain your insainly annoying noises?" I ask, throwing my pillow at her.

"He called me dimples again!" She squeaked happily, completely oblivious to the fact I'd just messed up her hair, a big sign she was distracted.

I roll my eyes at her and went down stairs to hunt for snacks, the oreos did not last more than a couple hours. Settling on popcorn I patietly wait by the microwave and laugh as I hear Bells making more inhumane sounds.

"What is that girl doing?" Mum asks, coming into the kitchen with Harry half asleep on her shoulder.

"She's just texting some guy she's obbsessed with."

"You dont make those...sounds, when you're texting Damien."

"Yes but this is Bells Mum, the girl that actually thought you could buy moon cheese." I laugh at the incredibly long discussion we had to have with Mr Bise, our science teacher, on the subject. return to Bells hoping she'd found a film. No, she was now actually talking on the phone, this suprised me quite a lot, she was actually saying sentences, with words in, to Low, of all people.

"No! I'm waiting for Romy, she left a while ago , not sure wh- OOH popcorn gimme!" She lunged for the bowl.

"Sorry, she had food..yes I'm not very lady like alright?" She laughs at his response and continued blabbering to him as I returned to the narrowed down options. '21 Jump Sreet', 'The Vow' and 'The Lucky One'. 

"Bells. Bells? BELLA!" I swat at her until she finally gave me the satisfaction of eye contact.

"Ask Low, Zac Efron or Channing Tatum?"

"Did you hear her? He said Zac Efron. Ok I need to go. Romy, popcorn and Zac Efron are waiting and I'm afraid I can't let them down." She finally says goodbye and hangs up, I actually thought they might do 'you hang up', 'no you hang up' routine. In which case I would thrown her phone into the popcorn bowl.

"Finally! Ok, I'd like to drool at the screen now if you dont mind." We proceed to sit, armed with tissues. 

"I'd actually kill to be his Lucky One." I say, ramming more popcorn into my mouth. 

"Where does Damien fit in that love equation eh?" 

"If Zac Efron was availible to me, Damien would have no choice but to acept it, and move along." We both laugh then return to the film, he was the creme de la creme alright.

***********************************************************************************************************************

I yawn, switching off the tv and hunting for the end of the duvet. Bells was pretty much asleep, I give her a kick so she'll more away a little. The light was already off, and I was fumbling around for my phone to text Damien goodnight. All I needed to do, was sleep. I hardly got any sleep last night but I'm wide awake again. He'd text me about an hour ago saying he'd found my skull in his bed and I should really think about coming to get it. I feel my face flush. 

Sorry...my evening was fully occupied with Z. Efron ... ;)

I'd liked several profile pictures, commented on a few things, liked pointless pages and the images that soon followed. I did find the 'what if the light we see when  we die, is just us coming out of another vagina? ' rather amusing. Sleep was becoming more and more appealing now, so I lock my phone and put it by my bed.

*BING!* I jump and swore, the light from my phone blinding me, I glance at Bells, snoring as I should've guessed. I get ready to tell Damien I'm offically replacing him with Zak, when I'm greeted with 1 Facebook Notification.

Dont need to open it. He's an ass hole. DONT. Need. To. Open. It. I'm mad at him, leave it for another day. 

I open it.

Can I talk to you?

You can delete me 

I'm suprised you you haven't done that 

didnt want to go on your profile, your name pisses me off

ouch.

:)

romy

Im SORRY, do you not like swearing? :O

you ignored my message, i got mad, my bad 

i could've just fallen asleep, ever consider that

did you?

I'm not meeting you. 

Give me one good reason why

I try not to laugh out loud. One? I can think of a lot more than that.

Why did you even add me? We have no mutual friends?

I used to live in your area & then moved to Bridgeway. Deleted all my friends from there because they're bad reminders. 

of what?

your question wasnt a reason not to meet 

You could be a 60 year old man, a woman, a criminal, some stalker???

1 attached image. Im just me. 

It was a selfie, similar to his profile picture. Short brown hair, dark eyes, tan, dimples. Easy enough to get that off of the internet though, right? I don't answer for a few minutes and he sends another message.

If you thought I was anyone of those, you wouldnt talk to me

Why did I talk to him? 

Nothing wrong with talking about shared interests. 

I want more than shared interests with you

I'm sat up now, my chest feels tight and my heads starting to hurt. Whats his deal? 

Stop it. 

its true 

Im happy being your friend. nothing else. we can talk about random stuff, but not my relationship, and not whatever lies you keep trying 

ive never lied to you. 

i hardly know you 

i know youre worth the wait. 

My nausea grows, hes making me feel sick with this shit. Why do I want to give him the benefit of the doubt? All the stuff he's said about being lonely, and moving away with no friends makes me feel bad. But this is rediculous, one more chance and then I've had enough. 

if you're not going to listen to me, then you need to block me before i block you.
