It's the next day.. Saturday..
Did I realy just text Nathan Kendrick yesterday about superheroes? Will he message me a good morning? Probably not. Actually, 'probably' is hoping too much. Reality will say I'm being delusional. He talks to everyone the same way.. I shouldn't be too excited about this.
I check my phone.
No message. Great. Hopes and dreams crushed.
That's what I get for expecting.
I should have known.. ugh.
I'm at the mall with my parents when I heard my phone vibrate. Could it be? I mean who else would it be?
It was Roxanne. Damn it.
Roxie
"Yo. You wanna go out today?"How I wish that text was from Nathan..
Me
"I'm kinda already outside with other people""Ur already replacing me??😠"
"Haha no babe. Im with my parents.."
"Sighhhhh"
"We'll go out next time, ok?"
"Ok..."
My phone vibrates immediately after I turned it off.
I check.
"Heyy. I just heard there was gonna be a Spider-Woman movie??"
That can't possibly be from Roxie... It must be from.. NATHAN!
IT IS. FANGIRLING. INTENSIFIES.
Ok. Calm down.. you can't fangirl in public. Keep your cool.
Should I answer it now? Later? Maybe later..
I already answered immediately last time. Doing it again would be crazy.
Maybe I'll just wait for 5 mins. No. 10. Ok.. it's 12:46 now.. 12:56.. no wait.. why be so on time? He will suspect it.. 12:57... why not 12:55? Ugh.. stop Nicky.. 12:57. That's final.
I keep checking my watch.. every minute feels like hours.. what if I miss my chance? What if he ignores me? He would if I took too long. He would get annoyed and forget about me. I'm just a nerd girl right?
Are we friends? Or are we just nerds who talked about comic books the other night. To me, it's more. To someone like him, it's nothing.
12:53..
I can't take it.. ugh.. I gotta say something.. NOWI unlock my phone. He's not online. Thank god.
I type:
"Hey"No. No greeting. He didn't give YOU a greeting. Why should you? He's just asking a simple question..
I re-type:
"Really?? When?"Sent.
Now we wait..
I keep checking my phone. The notifications that pop-up are the worst. It's the worst feeling expecting something for a really long time and getting something else you don't want instead. And by a 'really long time', I mean like 2 minutes.
Then tragedy comes.. it has been half an hour since I texted. He's not replying..
This is it.. Nicky, you can now visit your hopes and dreams in the graveyard.
How could I be so stupid. I'm here waiting for a text back from the most popular guy in school. He's over there probably in a party or something with some chick, smashing their faces into each other.
1:30.. phone vibrates.
I can bet it's another notification from twitter."Yeah, I heard from my dad? You know about this?"
Nathan... though I have no idea what he was talking about with the movie.
"Um. Nope not a clue."
"Oh.."
"Well actually, what's spider-woman actually about? Never really read it before."I have..
"Well there's different stories, slightly diff. There's the"
I haven't finished typing but he went offline. What's that supposed to mean? Was he bored?
Ugh. I still continued typing and sent a long paragraph about Spider-Woman, which I immediately regret.
It was already an hour. No messages, still. I honestly don't know what I'm expecting. He obviously has more important and fun things to do than text me about comic books..
I was eating dinner when he finally said something.
"Wow.. that paragraph sounds like something out of wikipedia😂"
I immediately opened, got too excited, forgetting about the 11 minute rule.
"Haha. Well wikipedia or a comic fan?"
"Haha. Totes from the best fan ;)"
Woah.. he needs to stop with the winky faces.. I'm gonna get a heart attack soon. He typed again.
"Anyway, sorry I didn't reply immediately. I had to do something in the house."
'Do something in the house'?? Is that even reasonable? Feels like a complete made up lie..
"It's aight"
Haha. You're not cool Nicky..
We kept talking about movies and actors and stuff. I was definitely more of a nerd than he is but I had to keep explaining things to him. I don't know if it was a good thing because I didn't want him to think I'm a huge nerd. Then again, what DID I want him to think of me?
Then he ended of with a:
"Oh shoot, my phone's at 1%. Gtg. Ttyl?"
"Oh ok ttyl!"
":)"
End scene.. he left. Why do I have a song feeling that was a complete lie.. ugh.. why do I care so much. You're not his girlfriend Nicky. Just because you talked for two days doesn't mean you're dating.
Doesn't mean you're the only one...
