Catfish. - (Uncompleted & Major Editing)

{ Chapter 3 }

I arrived home knowing that I would receive a lecture from my mum and that she would ground me. "Shayla, get to the kitchen right now!" my mum shouted, see I was right? "Why did the school call, saying you got sent home early for disrupting class?" my mum sighed. I was about to answer but I knew if I told her I was texting a kid I didn't know, she would probably take my phone away so I just shrugged. I exited the kitchen, walking towards my room faintly hearing my mum telling me to come back and that we "needed to talk". I lay on my bed, contemplating whether I should text Hayden back or just leave it. Before I could decided, I drifted of to sleep.

7.22 am

*Wake up beautiful, you are going to miss school ;-)*

A text from Hayden... quite grateful that he had woken me up reminding me I had school, and slightly creep out that he knew I had school and what time. I decide to ignore it and make it not bother me, it might be a coincidence that we start the same time?...

***

Rushing to class, I bumped into someone. I mutter sorry and try to keep walking but whoever it is grabs my arm. I look up, to meet blue eyes. "I'm sorry, uhmmm hello?" mysterious boy says. "Um yeh, no it's alright... I've got to go to class" I awkwardly replied. After a few seconds of awkward silence, we finally exchange names, his name was Zac and once again I'm running to class. Aren't I lucky? First period, Math...

I walk to my seat, praying that no one texts me... I feel as though I'm having de ja vu. I spend an hour listening to my teacher ramble about algebra, negative and positive. Counting down the seconds for period 2, I stare the wall. In 3, 2, 1...

*ring* *ring*

I run out the door, hoping nothing stops me from getting to class because it is on the other side of the campus. Someone once again grabs my arm, I swear what is happening today? Ironically it's Zac. He asks me what class, and that we are in the same class for period 2 so we walk together, trying to get to know each other.

***

At the end of the day, I bump in to Zac again. This day is very repetitive, I thought. "Hey, um Shayla do you mind if I go over to your house and we can like hang out" Zac says in an uncertain tone. I decide whether I say no to him and act like a piece of shit or I say yes and be slightly creeped out since I don't know him. I chose to be welcoming person and invite him over.

After a few minutes of walking, we arrive in front of my doorstep. I yell over to my mum saying hi and that I have a friend over, not mentioning it's a boy because she would freak out. I asked Zac whether he wanted to watch a movie or just talk. "Maybe we could do both, at the same time" he smirked. I shrugged and went over to get the remote. I choose to watch 21 Jump Street because it's a simple choice. I ask Zac, if he played any sport. "Yeh, I play NFL... I'm the starting quarter back" he says quite silently. We go on and on asking each other questions during the movie, and just getting to know each other. We drained ourselves from questions so we just sat in silence.

*Ring* *Ring*

I look over on to Zac's phone since it was right in the middle of us. He stares at the Caller ID.

Dylan

I guess it's one of his friends. "Aren't you going to answer that?" I say getting annoyed at the ringing. Zac nods slowly, as if he was scared to answer the call. He goes over outside my room. I continued watching the movie.

After 30 minutes, I go check Zac. Not that I wanted to eavesdrop, I hear him saying "She won't find out Dylan...". I didn't know if he was referring to me or some other girl. "Zac?" I interrupt him from the conversation he was having with Dylan. He quickly ends it, "Hey, I got to go... I'll see you tomorrow... Bye and thank you". Before I could say anything he quickly rushes past me, down the stairs and to the door.

Who is she? And who is Dylan?

*I see you've met Zac - Hayden*
