Finally, finally!, the package arrived on our doorstep.
It was a flip-fucking Thursday.
Amazon lies, just saying.
By that time, things settled down with my family. I mean, Jason was still scared of me, Chloe knew shit, but I was talking about my parents. Yes, I apologized for what happened, but I had to tell them the truth on what happened that night at Tyler's dance.
"Mami! It came! Gracias a Dios!" I yelled as I swung the front door open, retrieving the medium sized light weight box. Mom covered her ears. "Sofi! Quit yelling! We all know your phone es here!"
I smiled and hugged the box. "Mami, it's not just a phone . It's an iPhone!"
Dad came in, carrying a newspaper. "What's the difference, mija?"
I shook my head. "Nevermind." I ran up the stairs to my bedroom, and slammed the door. "Sofi!" Mom yelled. "Sorry!" I yelled back.
I quickly unwrapped the package, and I saw it. My shiny, shiny, iPhone 5. Squealing, I saw that my case came, too. My SIM card was inside, with my charger, and a T-Mobile booklet. It also had an Apple packet, telling me what to do. And earphones!
I squealed again, and started configuring my iPhone.
-
The first two contacts I immediately added were Alex's and Charlie's. I didn't add Jenna's, but I did add Jordan's. I also added Tyler's and other important people.....
I immediately texted Charlie.
me: hey charlie
I waited a minute. Should I text Alex.....?
Then, I saw a chat bubble, with three dots in it. I read in that info book that that sign meant the other person was typing.
So I decided to just focus on this chat.
A few seconds later, a text popped up.
Charlie: it's about time you text me!
hahaha, jk. hey sophie
me: lol, actually it's sofia. with an 'f'. many ppl get that wrong, it's ok.
Charlie: see? i knew it! i had a feeling it was 'f' but i changed it to 'ph' for some reason.....hrmmm....
me: lol charlie, it's okay. so, wyd?
Charlie: taking care of kim. god, siblings!
me: same! i gave my brother a wedgie the last time he messed with me....tmi?
Charlie: gurl, no too much info. you were right about that, hon. i would give kim a wedgie, but my step mom would fucking kill me. 'my daughter is my first priority' and shit. it was the last time he bothered you, huh?
teaches him not to mess with girls
me: rofl preach! have you ever considered being a preacher?
Charlie: thx bby :*
and yeah. i'll go 'preach mode' at school. even teachers can't stop me!
me: i can't preach..... hey, what school do you go to?
Charlie: sof, everyone can preach! just find it in your inner.....preachiness? god, i'm weird and lame.
oh i go to washington.
me: washington? as in washington high?
by the way, same here. i'm lame and weird af. 'preachiness' can b a weird between us, okay?
by chance, do you know tyler smith?
Charlie: dang, you type fast.
fuck my thumbs! that sounded so much better in my head.
and yup! washington high school! enemies with lincoln! and about tyler....i know him. too well. we dated a year ago. he changed. a fucking lot.
me: lmao your rly funny.
some things sound better in your head. i go to adams....and you're damn right about tyler! he's my next door neighbor and i used to have a crush on him.
Charlie: oh? used to?
lol, like that song. you used to call me on your cell phone...
i'll stop.
me: i know when that hotline bling.....that can only mean one thing...
lol i'm like that too. embarrassing the shit out of myself. i mean, there's this other guy....
but we're kinda on bad terms right now.
Charlie: i get it. girl problems. would you mind telling me what's going on? i might can help?
I almost cried. I found my best friend.
me: well, it's a long story. u up for it?
Charlie: remember? bros before hoes! wait....that's irrevlevant.
*irrelevant
dammit. i suck at spelling.
what i meant was, since we're friends, it's ok. i'm up for it.
i'll always be up for it.
me: oh my god, you're best friend goals.
thanks! :* :* :* :* <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Charlie: awwe, thanks best friend. and no problem!
me: so there's this guy, right? he was scary in the beginning. i don't know a lot about him, and i wanna know more, but he's kinda shutting me out.
kinda bc i kissed tyler. i know it's a shitty ass move. but he kissed me. and i responded, to test my feelings....i guess?
but...he's ignoring me. and he hasn't been at school for a while.
what should i do?
Charlie: first of all--that's something i would do too. kiss a guy to confirm my feelings.
second--you should go to his house. explain to him. text him. call him. get his attention so he can listen to you.
did that help?
me: oh my god.....
charlie you are the bestest best friend in the world of the best! i fucking love you!
as a sis, of course.
what's funny is we met less than a week ago, and you're a great help.
that will help! that fucking helped! thanks!!!!!
Charlie: sof....i'm not that great, okay?
you used to call him on your cell phone.....
srry i'm mean.
see? i'm not the best...
but i love you too. as a sis, of course.
even if we met a week ago, you're still my best friend.
gtg, kim needs to go to bed. i need to read her a book.
me: i used to call you on my iphone... this was cringeworthy as fuck.
oh okay.....btw kim seems like an angel.

I turned off my phone and sighed. Thanks to Charlie, I knew what to do.

I'M LAME. GOODBYE.
SAO IS THE DEATH OF ME.
