Buzz Buzz I heard my phone go off, signaling that there was a text. It simply read:
"Hey, Mari! Just checking 2 see if u gave me a fake # or sumthin. :P Text me when u get this. - Jake"
I smiled and sent back a text saying that he has the right number and that I wouldn't give him a fake number. I added a smiley face afterwards, just because I felt like it.
"Ok. Thx 4 that. Gtg, working. Stop by? It's the sandwich shop uptown. I'll get u a freebie. ;]"
He never told me he had a job. Oh, well. Free sandwiches? I'm in.
"HeydadI'mhangingoutwithaboyisthatokaybye." I said, mushing it all together. (AN If you couldn't read that it was Hey dad, I'm hanging out with a boy. Is that okay? Bye. Mushed together.)
"Be back soon, Mari." was all I got from my dad right before I left the room. My twin makes fun of me for being a "perfect angel child" around my parents, but this is when it comes in handy. Of course the Martial arts classes I took all of 3rd - 7th grade and my self defense classes add on to me having my amount of freedom. I have many secrets, yes. I'm the one who hides as much as possible. I quickly put on bracelets to have something to keep my hands occupied. I need to keep my hands doing something at all times, whether it be rubbing them together, spinning bracelets, or tapping them on any surface. I left the house quickly, being sure to say bye to my sisters. I walked to Subway, conveniently a few blocks away, on my new running route. I might have my morning runs in the evening now. I get there in about 3 minutes, which doesn't surprise me considering my long legs and daily runs. As I walk in I see Jake leaving the counter while a girl takes his place.
"Hey, Mari!" Jake says as he leaves the staff door.
"Hey Jake!" I replied, a large smile appearing on my face.
"Turkey alright? He asked holding out a 6" sub with turkey, swiss cheese, and ranch dressing.
"Yeah, it's my favorite!" I said truthfully.
"Mine too, I just got a foot long and cut it in half." He said with a surprised look on his face.
"And what would have happened if I hated what was on this sandwich?"
"Wel, I would be eating a foot of turkey and Swiss sandwich."
We both had a good laugh at that. We sat in a booth and ate our sandwich, talking about things that are random. When he asked me if I had lived here before I was both shocked and crept out.
"Yeah... Why?" I asked slowly.
"I told my little sister about you and she said she knew you. Her name's Bella." He said and my jaw dropped.
"Oh my god, you're Bunny's sister?" I said almost yelling, not even caring that I used her nickname.
"Bunny?" He asked with an eyebrow raised and his lips upturned in a slight smile.
"Sorry, I gave her that nickname because she hated the name Bella with a passion. It was too cliché I think is what she told me." I said. After his lunch break ended I gave him a slight split-second hug and say the usual "Bye, text me, see you later" combo and I left, but not before hearing his manager yell at him to stop talking to his girlfriend and to get to work. I giggled at him calling me his girlfriend, but then I went home thinking about Jake when something terrifying happened in the middle of the road.
