Hit Pause

Chapter 7:What?

*OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO SORRY GUYS!!!!!! I just finished up finals this week and finally have a bit of time to write. The thing is that in the beginning of November I made the basketball team and in December games started. The season ends literally the start of March. On top of that I am in all honors classes at school and they are killing me with homework. I was going to write about two weeks ago and surprise whoever takes time to read this that I updated all of my stories with two chapters each. Unfortunately I caught the flu and puked for a full 24 hours! Besides that I had some friend trouble and haven't been recovering well. I'm not actually sure that I have friends to be honest. I apologize for taking up story space but I have needed to ramble and explain myself. Without further ado, your long awaited chapter... *

As I drove home with the happy feelings and butterflies in my head and stomach, I couldn't help but wonder when Nathan would text me. I felt jumpy with excitement just thinking about him.

Wait..........................................................................

WHAT AM I THINKING?????

Do I like NATHAN???????

I mean he's cute and all, but he's Nathan. He's got an adorable smile and whenever he gets shy he hides under his bangs, which is completely adorable and it kills me to see him like that its so gosh dang hot......... OMG I THINK I HAVE A CRUSH ON NATHAN!!!!!

I parked the car in the garage and walked to the house's front door and unlocked it, and walked inside.

It's just a small crush though. I highly doubt anything will happen with it.

I pulled out the CD that Nathan picked out for me and put it into my CD player that was in the entertainment room.

I pressed play and was ready to hear what this band was all about when my phone buzzed. I paused the music before it started because I wanted to give the full album all of my attention at once.

I picked up my phone and saw I had a text from a random number and it said:

'Hey! Its Derek from school. I asked you to help me out with catching up a few days ago and was wondering if we could meet up and do that sometime today or tomorrow, possibly both if possible.'

I could feel my heart flutter. He wanted to spend his weekend with me. All alone... nobody else... and for maybe two days!!!!!!

I jumped up and down at the thought of being with my crush.

I typed back to him 'yeah, sure! that would be great. Where and when were you thinking?'

He responded 'How about in an hour and could we maybe be at your place? Mines a wreck.'

'Sure that would be great! See you soon :)'

I was so happy!

Then I realized the details.

I looked at my clothes and then ran to my room. I tore apart my closet looking for something to wear. It had to be something cute, preppy and resemble me. I chose a black blazer with lace detailing and a cute tank top and dark wash skinny jeans.

I hurried and cleaned up my mess and then ran to the bathroom and touched up my makeup.

I ran throughout the house making sure everything was clean and ready for anything. I pulled out my notes and papers from school and put them neatly with an empty notebook with a pen on top in the study so it wouldn't look like I was prepared for more than studying.

I looked at the time and then picked up my phone again to see when he last texted me so I would know when to expect him.

I saw that it had almost been and hour but there was a new message from him

'What's your address? I kinda don't know and can't come unless you tell me :)'

I facepalmed.

How could I keep the poor boy waiting almost an entire hour wondering where I live? How come I never thought to tell him or at least ask if he knew????!!!!

I messaged him my address and then he said that he was leaving in 5.

I patiently waited for the arrival of my prince charming. I even froze time whenever I saw a car turn down my street that I didn't recognize as a neighbor's to make sure I looked okay.

Finally the time arrived...

I gave up standing and waiting for him and plopped onto the couch.

And then I heard a car door close,

and someone ring my door bell.

I opened the door to reveal the handsome man I had been waiting for.

I motioned for Derek to come in and I closed the door behind him.

He turned around and looked at me, took off his backpack from his shoulder and said

"Let's get this homework started!"

I have never felt so happy in my life to do homework.
