The Hills vs.The Rest Of Us

Chapter Seven

    Song for this chapter: Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen

  When I got home it was about 3:30. I set my stuff down and head to the kitchen to raid the fridge. I scarf down a couple snacks and let my dog outside and hook him on his chain not feeling like going on a walk today. Then I wander up to my room to take a nap until supper time. Like I do just about everyday after school.

When I wake up I feel exhausted and groan as I drag myself downstairs. My mom let the dog back in while I was sleeping thankfully. "Did you feed the dog?" I shouted to by mom.
"Yes and gave him water too." She answers.
"Thanks." I shout as I pull my phone out of my back pocket and slip my shoes on, "I'm going to take him for a walk now cause I didn't do it earlier." I shout then walk out the door with him in the the lead already pulling his weight forward. I pull my weight back some evening it out so he doesn't drag me down to the ground. I look at my watch as we exit my driveway. 5:00 and dinner is usually at 5:30. I intend to be back at about 5:15.

Mom cooked ham wrapped in cheese which was wrapped in breaded chicken which she knows is my favorite. I ate it and went up to my room. I pulled out my phone and plugged in my headphones and played Amnesia by:5sos. I saw I had a new text from a number I didn't recognize. It read: Hey is this Kelly? I answered: yes, who is this?
K: Yes, who is this?
Unknown: Josh.
K: umm OK hi? Josh in seventh grade?
Josh: ya why?
K: Jw
I went and texted Brenda before he could say anything else.
K: Omg you'll never guess who texted me!
B: Lol I bet I could but I won't. So who?
K: Josh.
B: I know.
K: what do you mean? How could you know?
B: I may or may not have slipped him your number.
K:what?! Why? What am I supposed to talk to him about?! What if I let it slip that I like him?!
B: Dude before you have a stroke... You'll be fine just chill and make sure you read your texts before sending them.
I switched conversations and texted Sam.
K: you'll never guess what Brenda did.
S: She slipped Josh your number.
K: you knew too?!
S: lol ya I told her she should.
K:Why would you do that?!
S: He likes you! How do you not see it in him?
K: what are you talking about? Until now I didn't think he knew I existed.
S: ask Brenda.

K: do you think Josh likes me? Sam's convinced he does.
B: Um ya duh it's so obvious.
K: seriously?
B: lol, ya.
K: wow, my mind is officially blown.
