Thank you.♥️  

As soon as we pull into the driveway, I practically jump out of the truck. I run inside, almost tripping when I run up the stairs. I can hear my stepmother ask Cam if I was ok, and I just smile. I get to my room and shut the door, throwing my things on the floor and pull out my phone, jumping on my bed. I open the piece of paper, seeing a number.

He gave me his number?! I squeal quietly to myself, jumping up and down. It's just his number. It's just his number. Calm down. I breathe in, trying to calm myself, but for some reason, I'm just so excited. I unlock my phone, then wonder if I should text him right away. I don't want to sound desperate though, I say to myself.

I put my phone on my bed with the paper under it, and walk to my bathroom, locking the door. I strip off my clothes, leaving me in my bra and panties. Instead of looking at myself and tracing over my scars, I just smile in the mirror, and take off my makeup and brush my hair. I make sure I take everything off before I jump in the shower.

I stand there for a good 5-10 minutes, just letting the cool water run over my skin, before starting my shower routine. I wash my face, wash my hair, then I wash my body before I shave. I turn the water cooler and rinse my hair and body. After I'm done, I turn the water off and wrap a towel around me, being careful not to slip.

I dry my body and ring my hair out before drying a little with the towel, then getting out the blow drier. It doesn't take me long to do my hair, and when I'm done, I put it in a bun and walk into my room. I put on fresh underwear and find a shirt 3x my size and put it on, not bothering to put on shorts. I go to the bathroom and clean up, turning the light off before walking to my bed.

I pick up my phone and check the time, 4:30 pm, and decide to text him. I'm nervous, but I still do it.

-Me
Hey. It's me, Carrie.

I wait patiently for a response, and not even 2 minutes go by and I get one.

-Sam
Hey. Just got out of the shower. What are you up to?

I smile, as I just got out of the shower too.

-Me
I just got out of the shower, too XD I'm just sitting on my bed, starting my homework. You?

-Sam
Nice XD I just finished before I got in the shower.

-Me
Good, because that means you can help me with it :) Even though it's easy, we could just check it XD

-Sam
What are you working on right now?

-Me
Calculus. I'm almost finished with it though. I still have to do the back.

We text back and forth, helping and checking each other's homework. I realize that it's almost 6; dinner time. I tell him that I have to leave for dinner, but I'll text him when I'm done.

-Sam
Ok. Later:) Don't eat too much XD

I laugh at his response before putting my phone on charge and to the door. I turn my light off as I was out, a huge smile on my face. From the top of the stairs, you can see into the dining room, but just a little. I get to the kitchen, a big smile on my face.

"Someone looks happy all of a sudden." My stepmother says with a smile, handing me an empty plate.

"You could say that," I can feel my face getting red, but I am happy.
