"Hey." A message popped up. Jared.
Immediately, my face broke into a grin as I hurriedly typed back.
Me: Hi.
Jared: Watcha doin'?
Me: Nothing. Just had dinner.
Jared: So now its bedtime, eh? :)
Me: Yeah, yeah. Laugh as much as you want.
Jared: Kyle just called. We are all going camping this Saturday. You wanna join? You can bring Naomi if you want.
Me: Camping?
Jared: Just one night. It will be fun, I promise.
Me: I don't know. I don't think my mom would be ecstatic to hear two girls going to spend an entire night with five guys whom they have met just once.
Jared: We have met more than once....
Me: But not the others.
Jared: Don't be so uncomfortable. I will protect you.
I burst out laughing at this.
Me: Its not that. My parents won't allow. I know them.
Jared: So you wanna go but your parents won't allow?
Me: I didn't say that.
Jared: But you implied.
Me: No.
Jared: Yes.
Me: No.
Jared: Yes.
Me: Does it matter? Anyway...
Jared: So, they will let you go if there is a chaperone, right?
Me: I guess so.
Jared: Consider it done.
Me: How?
Jared: Kyle has an elder brother. We can easily make him the father. He just won't shave for few days...
Me: No. I won't lie to my parents. They trust me.
Jared: Its a white lie. When the lie isn't hurting anybody, its called a white lie.
Me: I don't care. It will hurt my parents if they know the truth. I hate lying.
And you can lie to Jared, huh? My inner voice spoke. I hated lying to Jared but I was helpless. I had no other option. I was going to tell him the truth soon anyway. Just few more days till he could trust me fully without getting too angry. I didn't wanna lose him so soon. No matter the situation, I couldn't deny I really liked hanging out with him and texting him.
Jared: So you won't come? :(
Me: Sorry. No.
Jared: Fine. But to compensate you have to hang out with me the next entire Sunday.
Me: Entire day?
Jared: Yup. No more. No less.
Me: Naomi and I were going to have a girls day out.
Jared: Do it Friday. You are hanging out with me the entire sunday.
Me: What if I don't want to?
Jared: I will come to your house.
Me: No! Fine. I will go.
Jared: What is it with you and me coming to your house?
Me: Its awkward. I never bring guys to my house.
Before realizing it, I had hit send.
Jared: You never brought your boyfriends to your house? :0
Me: No... I go to their house.
Jared: Seriously?
Me: Yes.
Jared: I really have no words to say.
Me: Tell the truth, you think I am a slut, don't you?
Jared: To be honest, I was wondering if I could ever be the first boy to enter your house then. You being a slut never crossed my mind, to be honest. Sorry to disappoint you, though.
Me: Seriously? Is it all an act, Jared, seriously? No one can be this good. I am having trouble digesting the fact that you are one of the few boys God gives special attention to.
Jared: I am an atheist. :3
I rolled my eyes. He thought I was joking but it was the truth. Jared was your typical uber rich, not so bad looking guy and I could accept that fact. Yet, a golden heart? That was too much to believe. Its like he didn't have a flaw which made everything more suspicious.
Me: I have a condition though.
Jared: Shoot.
Me: No ice skating rink.
Jared: Done. :)
Me: Okay, I gotta go. I have school tomorrow.
Jared: Bye.
Me: Bye.
Jared: Bye.
Me: Bye.
Jared: Is "bye" gonna be our "always?"
Me: Did you just quote John Green's "Fault in our stars?"
Jared: I think I did...
Me: You read sappy romantic books?
Jared: Yup. They are the sole reasons why I am hopelessly in love with the idea of being in love.
Me: I never imagined...
Jared: We all are stereotypical, I guess.
Me: You guessed right.
Jared: Alice?
Me: Yes?
Jared: Will you be my Hazel Grace Lancaster so that I can be your Augustus Waters?
Me: No.
Jared: You just broke my heart. </3
Me: Take some glue and fix it.
Jared: At least be happy I didn't say Anastasia Steele.
Me: LOL!
Jared: Though I am a Grey ;)
Me: Shut up.
Jared: Yeah. Augustus Waters is better.
Me: He left Hazel.
Jared: He didn't have an option. But I have and I won't leave you. Ever. This is your knight in shining armor promising you that, m'lady.
Me: Bye! Go to sleep.
Jared: See you on sunday. Can't wait. Ciao. :)
