♕Chapter 2♕

>After the movie marathon<

"Hey Megs, do you know anyone called Ethan?" I question Megan as I stuffed my face with popcorn. "Erm, I know Ethan Brooke's?" Megan replied as she sits down with a bowl of popcorn. "No that defiantly wasn't him," I told Megan. "Ooo, who's this?" Megan questioned as she shuffles closer to me. "Ah it's no one, but I met this Ethan guy at the store today, he seemed so nice," I answered Megan. "Was he cute?'' Megan questioned. 'Yeah,'' I smiled as I looked down to my hands. ''Did you get his number?'' Megan questioned. ''Er, No, I mean how could I? Hey thanks for saving my lucky penny, can I have your number?'' I replied. ''Im telling you Megs, this penny is giving me luck,''. ''Whatever you say Sofia'', Megan answered rolling her eyes.

''Anyways Megan, Ill see you later, I gotta get back, thanks for the snacks Im glad we finally watched them, for like the fifth time,'' I said to Megan as we both started to laugh. ''You're welcome, I'll see you soon,''.

>Next Morning<

''Not again!'' I cry to myself as my alarm goes off, the second day in a row. I keep forgetting to switch my alarm off. ''Bye angel, we've left money on the table for you to order a takeaway because we're both doing overtime, so we probably wont see you, bye sweetie I gotta go, love you!'' My dad says as he kisses my forehead. My parents are both doctors and they both work in the emergency department so their always on-call and usually work till late. I get lonely sometimes because I don't have any siblings, that's why we adopted Milo, a dog from the rescue shelter. He's the most cutest Shih Tzu you'll ever meet. (No that is not a spelling mistake, its the actual breed of the dog teehee, search them up ;) ) Its sunday, and this is the day where I usually get off my ass and actually do something. I change into some tight Nike shorts which make my ass look great and a loose tank top over my sports bra which showing a little cleavage. I put on my headphones, trainers and grab the money my parents left on the counter. They always leave a little extra money for me, just in case I want to invite a friend round or something. As I was about to leave, I realised that I am forgetting something. My lucky penny. I run back upstairs, take out my purse from my bag and put my lucky penny in my sports bra. I begin jogging down the street and running past different blocks and neighbour hoods. As I start to run back home, I stop at my local minimart to pick up a bottle of water and an protein bar. Taking out my headphones, I begin to walk down isle 7, where they keep the water nice and refrigerated. I immediately unscrew the lid of the bottle and begin to drink it. Closing the refrigerated door, I hear a familiar voice creep up behind me. 'Hey,' the voice said with confidence. Instantly, I drop my water bottle in fright as it opens and splashes everywhere on the floor. ''Shit!'' I said whilst looking up the the mysterious person. ''Ethan? What you doing here? I didn't even see you behind me,'' I questioned him. Shit. Im all red and sweaty, why does he have to see me like this? ''I never got your name,'' He replies. What? My name? Why does he want to know my name? ''What?'' I answer in confusion. ''You have a name right? Im asking what your name is,'' Ethan demands as he crosses his arms. ''Oh er my names-' Without saying another word, I stepped forward and slipped over the spilt water on the floor. Trying to grab hold of something, I forcefully grab hold of Ethan and dragged him down with me. Tins, Bottles, Cans, you name it, all fell off the shelves and landed and spilt on us. We are a hot mess. We landed right next to each other with a small gap between our faces, staring into each others eyes whilst laying in a puddle of water and mixed ingredients. ''My names Sofia,'' I say to Ethan as we both begin to smile. ''What is going on here?'' The shop owner begins to shout at us. Me and Ethan quickly stand up. ''Er, nothing,'' I immediately reply to the owner. He must of thought that we were trashing his shop. ''James! Call the police!'' The shop owner shouts at the cashier. Me and Ethan cluelessly look into each others eyes not knowing what to do until we both said at the same time, ''Run!". Ethan grabs hold of my hand as we quickly run out the store, running for our lives. We both didn't want to be caught. ''Down here, my house is only down here,'' I quickly say to Ethan as we run down an ally way. Running up the steps to my house, I open the door and run inside the house. Me and Ethan stand in the entrance, puffed out from the sprint until we both look at each other and realised what happened, we were laughing our heads off. ''We're covered in beans,'' I laugh at Ethan. ''Do you wanna take a shower? You probably stink, I mean you got hit worse than me,'' I asked Ethan. Ethan begins to look down his body, and realises that its true. ''Do you know what that means?'' Ethan questions me. I start to look confused. Ethan starts to have a huge smile on his face. ''Oh no you wouldn't,'' I quickly reply. ''Oh yes I would,'' Ethan answers as he begins to chase me. ''Ethan, No stop!'' I cry as he starts to hug me. ''No, no, no that's so gross!'' I cry as we both begin to laugh. ''There, now we're even,'' Ethan says with a smirk. ''I hate you,'' I reply. ''Nah, you love me really,'' He says with a smile. ''Right get in the shower now, you've been here 5 minutes and you've already trashed my house,'' I demand him. ''Okay mom,'' Ethan snaps back. He begins to walk up the stairs as I chuck him a towel. ''Down the hall to the left, touch anything you're not suppose to touch and I'll burn your clothes and kick you out,'' I sass to him. ''Is that just an excuse cause you wanna see me naked?'' He replys as he bites his lip. ''Oh my god you're cringe, get in the shower,'' I answer back, as he continues to walk up the stairs laughing. ''Leave your clothes outside so I can wash them,'' I shout at the bottom of the stairs. This is so weird, what's actually happening right now. I barely know this kid and he's in my house taking a shower. He could be a creep or something, my parents would kill me if they knew I brought home a stranger. Ethan doesn't feel like a stranger tho, I haven't had a full conversation with him or about him, I've only known him for a day and it seems like I've know this kid forever.
