What The...[2]

'Homophobic...homophobic...homophobic?' The words rang in my head, how could anyone think that of me? I suppose I was quite reserved in my opinions but I had hoped that no one assumed I was homophobic; I glared at Mya as she sat on a sofa with a group of guys, she laughed at one of Ian's jokes while resting her head on Alec's shoulder, he looked down at her smiling endearingly, while as usual she didn't notice a thing. Chelsea looked over at me with concern, I smiled and mouthed the words "I will explain later" turning my gaze towards the music video on the TV not paying any attention till a ball of paper hit my head. My head whipped around towards the culprit, surprise surprise it was Mya she smiled and motioned at me to open up the paper. Grasping the small white bit of paper I opened it and looking down at the small printed writing, it read "cheer up Adele, I was just messing, I wuuuv youu!" she ended a slow smile spread across my face. I was glad to hear she was joking, well I hoped she was joking about thinking I was homophobic, looking over she quickly smiled while refusing an alcoholic drink offered to her by Alec, he looked dismayed handing me the drink instead "Mya, not thirsty?" I asked

"No I'm fine, I just don't drink alcohol" she replied adding quickly "I'm teetotal" she beamed at me "WHAT?!" half the room exclaimed I was shocked at the amount of people that had listened into the exchange Mya shrugged her shoulders and simply said "I cant be bothered with it" she glanced at her phone looking agitated, tonight was just one of those nights. As people began leaving Chelsea's I decided to text my mum to see if she would pick me up even though I didn't live too far away it was a cold night and I didn't fancy walking home in the dark, Mya was walking home, she lived all the way across town but she loved walking she said, and she was always brave and acted as though she couldn't feel the cold. My mum replied to my text saying that she would be there in ten minutes to pick me, well that was one up side to the night wouldn't need to walk home in the cold and maybe I could persuade Mya to get a lift home too. My phone buzzed in my pocket, I eyed the screen curiously wondering who would be texting me, my eyes widened with glee it was Nathan, the guy who I had liked for the past few months now, he hadn't been able to come out tonight because he was looking after his sister I quickly opened the message it read "Hey sorry about 2nite, wish I had bn able 2 go cya 2moro nite x" I practically swooned at the idea of Sunday night, having a party at his house, alcohol, music and hopefully something more. Mya was already up hugging people goodbye whilst I had been daydreaming "wait! Do you want a lift?" I called to her while she walked into the hallway putting her shoes on "nope I have legs I can walk" her usual retort

"I know that but it's really cold" I glimpsed at her t-shirt and jeans combo you wouldn't of thought it was a British winter the way she dressed "Nope don't feel the cold and if it gets a bit chilly I will jog" she winked at me and then said her last goodbyes before leaving. I waited in the hall knowing my mum would only be seconds away from texting me to tell me she was waiting outside, before I knew it my phone buzzed twice the first was from my mum telling me she was outside, the second was from Mya "odd" I thought I read it whilst I said my goodbyes it said "saw your mums car, race you home!" ha in her dreams although I did hurry through saying goodbye to everyone and almost ran to my mums car "step on it!" I said hurriedly, "I saw Mya she's already running" she replied

"So! We are in a car! And she lives at least half an hour away!" I protested, she laughed at this the likely hood that Mya would beat us was slim which amused me why did she always set herself up for trivial things like this. The drive home was quick and silent my mum and I exchanged few words, my mind wandered off to tomorrow we had arrived home it had taken us seven minutes no way was Mya going to beat that, I smiled to myself and wandered upstairs to my room switched on my computer and signed into msn, my usual routine, a message popped up it had been sent while I was offline two minutes ago, it read "Haha beat you slow poke!" it was from Mya! Unbelievable she had managed to beat me by two minutes. I typed quickly to her "how did you manage to get home so quick?" already her reply was rapidly being typed, I waited knowing it was going to be a long explanation she doesn't do things by halves this girl, suddenly her reply flashed upon the screen "Well I saw your mum's car coming round the corner so I began running, whilst running I sent you that text, I took the quick way home, the way you guys don't like me taking, you know through the woods and I also took a short cut my jumping over..6 garden fences and was chased by a poodle!, oh and I would have been quicker but I had to grab a snack before coming on msn!" I read her explanation shocked, she had ran home and beat my mothers car I was baffled to say the least, this girl never failed to surprise me. She soon began typing away about some odd dream she had the other night about purple unicorns or something I couldn't seem to concentrate on what she was saying, I stared at the computer screen...

Nathan had signed on, my heart skipped a beat, I was a love sick cliché of a girl, I decided to keep my cool and try and type something coherent to him, but suddenly a message popped up from him "hey" my heart jumped, damn it before I yet again had a chance to type anything another message popped up "I was thinking Adele" my chance to be witty was approaching "thinking were you? That must be quite hard for you!" haha I silently laughed to myself. I desperately wondered what he was about to say not getting my hopes up though, had done that one too many times I clicked back on to Mya's conversation she had managed to talk nonstop about her meaning of her dream continuing on to her love of fruit and French cinema..this girl was unbelievable, slowly I clicked back on to Nathans conversation and waited on a reply, whatever he wanted to talk about it was taking him a while to bring up. Slowly a message flashed on screen. My heart thudded. "haha your hilarious, no I just wanted to say I really like you Adele and was trying to think of a good way to ask you out" I couldn't believe it! Nathan wanted to ask me out! No wait he was asking me out! I was shocked; quickly I typed to Mya "Nathan is asking me out!" breaking her endless string of nonsense "ooh" she replied quickly followed by "say yes of course, you're practically in love with the guy!" I glanced at her words, what was I waiting for I should say something to him, "errr.." I began typing but ended up deleting that "Mya?" I began typing "what shall I say?"

"keep it simple, just say sure I would love to go out with you!" she replied

"A bit cliché isn't it?" it sounded almost cheesy

"so?" she typed back, well it couldn't hurt I suppose I copy and pasted what Mya had told me to say to him, I eagerly waited for a reply, I didn't have to wait long. "Really? Good! Awesome! I have liked you for a while you know, couldn't you tell?"

"no actually" I blushed

"ohh well it doesn't matter sorry I have to go sister is shouting see you tomorrow really cant wait now xxxxxxx" I read his parting message and once again blushed typing back rapidly "ok cool yeah I cant wait either love you xxxxx" I quickly sent it. Crap! I just sent him a message saying I loved him, ready to die of embarrassment and crawl into a deep pit of shame when looked yet again to the screen "love you too x" his last parting message before leaving, a wave of relief washed over me. Things were definitely going my way tonight.
