The One That Most Definitely Didn't Get Away

Chapter 1

I sat in my English class in a daydream. Admiring the beauty of the young 13 year old boy, Harrison.

"Danielle? Danielle?"As soon as I snapped out of my daydream, I turned my head to see my angry teacher.

"Focus young lady!" Miss shouted.

He stared back at me, we were meant to be. But, I then thought to myself. No one likes an equestrian.

As soon as the bell for home time went I rushed out of class so I was out of site from Harrison. Embarrassed. I swiftly moved to my bus lines, to hide from this life I was living. I then heard a quiet voice from behind.

"Danielle? Oh no. You had one of those moments again didn't you?" Sophie rolled her eyes.

"You know he's out of your league and your out of his. There's more fish in the ocean. Or for you more horses in the paddock." Sophie chuckled.

I didn't listen at all thinking of how I seemed in front of him was horrible. He thought I was mean, shy and a bitch. What was my life worth living. Plus, I ride a horse called Gloria. Who would love me?

It was one of those days, nothing went right. Then as soon as I got home, I saw my phone face down on the table. I picked it up to see if anyone needed to talk. I had a missed call. It was my friend Zac. I placed the phone back where I found it and took one step, when, it started ringing. It was him, Harrison was calling me. I stood staring at the vibrating phone for a few seconds.

"Are you gonna pick that up or are you just gonna stare at it?" My older sister Savannah came around the corner.

I replied "Yeah. Maybe."

I picked it up. "Hello?"

The voice on the other end of the line answered "Hey, are you alright?. You looked pretty upset after school today."

I was shocked. Why did he honestly care about me? "Yeah, I'm fine, I just hate that class."

"Your not the only one. The teacher's a devil." Harrison explained.

I chuckled, "Yeah I guess"

"Well my phone is about to run flat so I'll have to talk on my iPad. I'll text you. Bye"

And there the call ended. I had no idea what happened. Out of all the people he could have called, he called me? Nothing made sense. I wanted this day to just end right there. With out dinner, I went to bed. I laid there for hours thinking. But he's out of my league. Why me? Of all his contacts he chose to call a grubby equestrian. But then a major thought crossed my mind... I gasped for air, does he like me back?

Before I could fall asleep. My phone set off a sound.

*bing*

It was a message. And you won't believe who it was.
