Midsummer Dreams (Christian Beadles Love Story)

Chapter 5

I stared at my MacBook Air computer screen.. Waiting for Christian to come on. This is wrong that it’s only been my first day and I am already crushing on someone! Ehh! I had come home and my godmother had left a note on the kitchen table saying:

Nora,

Me and Bruce have gone to get some stuff for dinner. We know your favourite dinner so we will make it tonight. Text me if you need anything!

Love,

Krissy xo

As I paced back and forth in my new room, I started to think if this was the right thing for me to do. I mean, he only just broke up with his girlfriend and she HATES me. It would be nice to have a boyfriend seeming as I have never had one before.. But I just don’t know. I slumped down at the end of my white-wood bed, making the green and white Peter Alexander sheets become crinkled. I ran a hand through my long dark-brown hair as I stared at my iPhone. A new message had popped up from twitter saying I have a new follower. I quickly jumped up and ran to my mac.

Twitter was already open, tired of being refreshed so many times. I clicked on my ‘followers’. 2 new followers had come up – Christian Beadles and Caitlin Beadles. Oh.My.God. They both added me. I jumped from my chair and did a little victory dance. I grabbed my iPhone and started to ring my sister Bree. She would be in Australia right now. Probably sleeping but this couldn’t wait!! I pressed the green call button and waited for the dial tone. Nothing. Straight to her message bank. I could hear Bree’s voice in the receiver.

Bree’s voicemail: Hey this is Bree. You know what to do after the beep.

A hot tear ran down my face as I cancelled the call. This was so hard being away from the person who I cared about the most. In Australia, we would stay up late together. Reading magazines after magazines and getting up with all the goss as she gave me one of her famous manicures. Late nights and pizza were our tradition on each other’s birthdays. I missed her so much.

I looked up to my computer screen and saw I had been tagged in a tweet. I clicked it.

@littlecbeadles: Hey! Remember me? ;)

OMG. He remembers me! I would of thought he would go home and just forget and probably never talk to me again. Other than when we are at school.

@nora.r.andrews: Hhaha. How could I forget.. You’re the tall, handsome one right?

I decided since I am at a new school, I may as well make the most of it. My heart beat faster as I clicked tweet. Oh, this was so mad. I was about to delete the tweet when I got a text from an unknown number. The message read:

Handsome, eh? Gees, I think I could think of some for you? ;)

It was Christian! How did he get my number?

I quickly typed in my reply:

Hahaha. Christian? How did you get my number?

I didn’t want to save his number yet – just in case it wasn’t him. But I was pretty sure it was.

I looked up towards my bright computer screen. Christian must be so fast at typing, he re-tweeted instantly.

@littlecbeadles: Hahaha. You’re cute :3 Hey, text me. Gotta ask you something!

I froze. I was texting him. But why would he put it on twitter? I started to think that maybe this wasn’t Christian that was texting me.. Another text came on my screen:

Sorry about putting that on twitter. Just wanted to tell everybody I was texting you ;).

I got your number of Nate? Didn’t he tell you he put his number in your phone? They got your number and bragged about it to me ALL day. Annoyed me after a while but anyways.. What are you doing?
