"1 New Message
From: Dylan"
Oh lord. Butterflies. I put my head in my hands. I was so dissapointed in myself for falling for him this fast. I just met him today. But there was just something about his smile. And his eyes. They were the kind, that you could look at and your day instantly gets better. I was also mad at myslef for falling for him because i thought he would NEVER think of me as more than a friend. I debated on reading or just deleting it. I got a glass and got some water. Curiosity got the best of me.
"Tonight i had fun. We need to hang out again soon :)"
I read this at least 10 times. I was so surprised. And the smiley. oh lord. I got butterflies all over again. I decided to wait until the morning to text him back. I put my glass up and then went back upstairs. I laid in my bed, and with a smile on my face, i went to sleep.
The next morning i woke up at around 10. I checked my phone. No new messages. Then i remembered Dylan's message. I re-read it about 5 more times and then i replied.
"I had fun too. We should deffinitely hang out again."
I was excited. I felt my stomach growling so i went downstairs to get food, then i found a note on the fridge.
"Your father and I had some meetings today. We wont be back untill late. Here is some money for food. -Mom"
cool. The first full day here and they leave me. I found a baseball bat and i carried it around with me. I was sorta paranoid, but I have to beat theives with something. I got a smores poptart out of the pantry and poured some milk. While i was eating i got a message from Brooke.
"Tonight Alex, Dylan, and I are going night swimming at Alex's around 9. You in?"
"Sounds fun. Come to my door and we should walk over there together."
"Alright, see you then."
I was excited to see Dylan. I started thinking about it, and then i got nervous. I hate my body in a swim suit. To pass the time I got on my computer. My friend Karalyn from back in Tennessee kept pestering me to get a twitter, so I decided to make one. Twitter was so confusing but within an hour i started getting the hang of it. I was looking through the trending topics and #FollowMePsanders was trending. I decided to be a stalker and see who this PSanders is. He was a rapper from Atlanta. He was really good, so I followed him. One of his tweets were "New video, HYFR, featuring my buddy Dylan will be coming out sometime next week." Dylan. That reminded me of night swimming. I looked at the clock. 8:30. DANG. I had been on the computer ALL day. I decided to get ready to go night swimming. I got my black and white stripped bikini, some soffe shorts, and a tshirt. My hair is naturally wavy, but its a pretty wave, so i decided to wear it down. As I was grabbing a beach towel, the doorbell rang. It was Brooke.
"Hey! You ready to go?" She asks.
"Yeah, lets go"
"You seem upset, is something wrong?"
Oh lord. I think i can trust her.
"I'm not upset....but can i trust you with something?"
"Lexi, you can always trust me. I'm not one of those people that always backstab."
"Alright, good. Well......I kinda....I kinda like Dylan"
"OMG! I KNEW IT!"
"Shh! Keep it on the down low, okay?'
"Okay"
I felt so relieved to get that off my chest. We walked through the gate and Dylan and Alex were standing there. Brooke put her stuff down and then Alex comes up and grabs her and throws her in. She was pissed. Then he jumped in and started trying to make her feel better. And they ended up making out. Dylan just rolled his eyes. And i laughed. We stood there awkwardly for a while and then he broke the silence
"Do you wanna go some place else?'
"Yeah. Do they always make out in front of everybody like this?"
"Yeah pretty much"
He grabbed my hand and led me to his house. We went in the backyard to the treehouse.We sat up there and talked for hours. We talked about all kinds of things. I pretty much knew everything about him, and he knew everything about me by the time the night was over. I looked at my phone. It was 1 am. I yawned and then I told Dylan I should probably go. He gave me a hug, then I left. That night i sat in my bed, thinking about everything that happened that night, and for once I could say I was happy.
