"Thank you for everything dad" I say kissing him on the cheek before heading upstairs to unpack everything. Today was a very successful shopping trip. I got a new bag from forever 21, a Calvin Klein underwear set (THEY ARE SO NICE OMG!), makeup and makeup brushes. I was so thankful. I put everything away in their designated places and fall onto my bed. I kinda miss having a phone and going on social media. Mom was actually really annoyed at me for chucking my iPhone 5 into the river, but she found it understandable. I was about to doze off but I hear a knock on my door which made me jump.
"Come in!" I shout and in walks my dad with a gift bag, he's already brought me enough today!
"I've brought you a present!" Dad says as he walks in smiling.
"Dad you've already brought me more than enough today!" I reply as he gives me the bag and I pull out the present.
"OH MY GOSH YOU DID NOT!" I cry as I hold the box to an iPhone 6s in rose gold, it's so nice omg! "Thank you so much dad!" I jump into his arms giving him a massive hug.
"Anything for my girl" He sets a kiss on the top of my head and walks out with a smile on his face. Wow, everything's going so well. I set up my iPhone and began to download the usual, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, YouTube etc. I decide to make a new account for each of them as I didn't want to go back to my old ones. I take a few selfies as everyone has to when they get a new phone! I then get a text from an unknown number, how has someone got my number?
Ello love, watch your back!
-Received @ 3:15PM.
Erm who is this?
-Sent @ 3:16PM.
It's your sister, lol. Wanna go for a walk? Xxx
-Received 3:20PM.
I reply by shouting that I'll be ready in 5 minutes, I decided to chuck my curly hair up and put my timberlands on. I save my sister's number to my contacts naming her 'Loopy Luc'. That's been her nickname since we were young. My first contact on my phone, I laughed.
Lucy grabs her keys and her new hand bag and we both walk out the front door telling mom we will be home soon. Lucy is so beautiful; she has long brown hair that falls just above her bum, which is also curly from plaiting it. She has an amazing figure that I would die for and her skin is so gorgeous and tanned. Her teeth were perfect and straight.
"I need a fag" Lucy says breaking the silence. I felt my blood boil at what she just said. I stop and glare at her.
"Why do you want a cancer stick?"
"I'm sorry Katie, but you would understand. Look, the way you feel better is to you know..." She says looking down at my wrist making me twitch "and my way is to smoke, please don't hate me" she lent her head to the side giving me a funny face. We carry on walking and see a group of 5 boys walking towards us but they were further up the road. I started to panic. Lucy put out her fag chucking it across the pavement and started to organise her hair.
"Lucy, please can we go?" I say clutching her arm.
"Kat, what's wrong?
"I... err, my foot hurts" I reply grabbing my foot.
"Kat, its fine they won't say anything, don't worry about it please, for me, be strong." She grabs my hand giving it a squeeze as we carry on walking rocking our arms. She starts talking about a funny memory she had making me laugh and forget about the boys, she knows how to make me smile. I love this Lucy. I look down as we are just about to walk past the boys and Lucy gives my hand a squeeze to reassure me that she's got me. As we walk past them, three of them stop and whistle and the other two just look and wink as me and my sister both turn around. I go bright red as I realise the boy from yesterday.
"You just can't keep away ay" He says winking at me.
"Oh please, ill rather bump into a moving bus then bump into you again babe" I say with a dead serious face. Lucy drops my hands and falls to the floor in laughter while the boys just ooed and pushed the boy around.
"LUKE YOU GOT OWNED!" The boy who seemed to look like Luke said.
"Luke ay, what a cute name" I say putting on the squeakiest voice and giggling on purpose. Where has this Katie come from omg! I start walking away trying to get my head around what just happened and I feel someone's eyes on me, I turn around to see Luke smirking at me and biting his lip. Oh my, he is so hot. Lucy stays to speak to the boys, as I stand just ahead of them. I leant against the wall and pulled out my phone. It's so boring not having any contacts on anything.
"Thank you very much" Luke appears from nowhere snatching my phone and opening Instagram. "New to Instagram I guess." He looked at my profile which don't have any pictures or followers as if he was talking to a child who don't use social media, I began laughing.
"No I just made a new account. I wanted to have a fresh start" I say as I watch him type in his name on Instagram, he has a verified account, what?! "Instagram famous ay?"
"You can say that" He replies scratching his hair. "Love the accent so much by the way" He looks at me leaning his head sideways, oh wow he is so cute. He follows himself of my Instagram then opens snapchat putting on a dog filter then took a picture of both of us, he then put it on Instagram with a heart as the caption then tagged himself. He gave me back my phone and I placed it in my pocket. He kissed me on the cheek then walked away to the boys as Lucy started approaching us. What the hell just happened...
"oi oi, what was that" Lucy asked with the biggest smile. I took a deep breath and smiled. A real smile for the first time in ages.
"I don't even know. I just had a ball of confidence. Why did it feel like we have known them for ages?"
"I know what you mean" Lucy laughed.
We get home and I go straight to my room after thanking Lucy for inviting me out. I jumped onto my bed and pulled my phone out, my phone blew up with Instagram notifications I go on and see I've already got 2724 followers, wow... I go through my notifications and see that Luke has tagged me in a photo, I go onto his account and see the picture of us and the caption was 'bumped into this girl three times in two days, fate? (:' I look through the comments and see a lot of hate and some 'aww I ship you two' 'she so gorgeous, Luke you're so lucky' I smile at the lovely comments and click onto my picture on my account and see a lot of comments. My eyes lay onto Luke's comment: 'I'm so blessed to meet someone like you'. My stomach felt like a circus. I click onto his profile and go to the link in his bio. It takes me to a channel called the Janoskians. I notice that it was the five boys we met earlier and I couldn't help but smile. I ran into Lucy's room telling her what is happening.
"I know! The twins are your age and Beau is my age" She said and I couldn't help but notice her cheeks going bright red. Lucy is crushing!!!!!! "When you walked of they all were pushing beau towards me and he went bright red, what the fuck Lucy he was so hot"
"OMG I know. Me and Luke bumped Into each other twice yesterday!" I smile while looking down and tucking my hair which fell in front of my face behind my ear. I'm happy... "Well, did you give him his number?!" As soon as I said that her phone buzzed the message notification and her face lit up. I gave her a wink and walked into my room. What if I don't see him again and that was the last time?
