TJ'S P.O.V.
As soon as i got home i looked at the piece of paper Kai had given me.
I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at it. it read:
"my cell number: 724-555-1492. call me or text. i dont care which. \^u^/"
i smiled and i read it again just in case i read it wrong. i blushed. i lay down in my bed.
And all i feel, in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind that me feel like, i just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now. i just want to know you better, know you, know you.
KAI'S P.O.V.
I wake up to my phone ringing.
unknown number.
"hello?" i said when i answered.
"hey Kai. its TJ. hope i didnt wake you if i did you can call me back later." the voice on the other line said.
i smiled and said "Hey TJ! no, no its fine. i was already up." i lied. i didn't want to make him feel bad.
"Oh well thats good. so how long are you grounded for?" he asked
"I don't know. my mom hasn't said. but as soon as i find out i'll let you know." i told him.
"ok! so are you doing anything today? well i guess not if you're grounded. god im sorry. i'll just shut up now."
"Ha. thats ok. well i was going shopping with my friend Bug, oh i mean Trisha. her nickname is Bug. Her family and friends call her Bug. but i'll have to text her and tell her that i'm grounded." "right after i tell her about you" I say under my breath.
"oh. well do you want to face-talk? i can give you my username."
"Sure! hold on my mom's coming. i'll talk to you later." i hung up and hid my phone under my pillow and pretended to sleep.
my mom walks into my room. "Hey KiKi." i hate it when she calls me by my nickname. "Hey i'v decided that i'll ground you for 5 weeks. for the amount of hours you were gone." i knew she had exaggerated the time.
i roll over and look at her and sigh "And since its such a long time you can keep your phone and lap top. you just cant go anywhere with anyone.and i have to go to work."
my mom got ANOTHER job at the grocery store. she already works every night at Nandos. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the bank. and now every morning from 8:00 to 2:00 at the grocery store. but also works all day at the grocery store if they need her to. which is happening today.
i pick up my phone and text Bug.
"hey bug! sorry i got grounded so we can't go shopping. but my mom is working until ten tonight so if you want you can come over. oh i met a boy and i want to tell you ALL about him."
"omg! what did you do this time? and it ok. i may be grounded too. but my mom is 'working' too. so i'll be over." i knew by 'working' Bug meant drinking.
Bug's dad died. he over dosed on drugs. her mom got really depressed and became an alcoholic. and she hasn't been sober in 10 years. we've tried to help her but she says she's fine so we just leave her alone. she's not abusive or anything to Bug. im just glad that Bug is ok with her mom.
I call TJ back. "Hey um you want to face-talk when Bug gets here. we can talk till she does."
"ok thats great! i like talking you."
"Yeah i like talking to you too. I also really like you"
"Like I couldn't tell after what happened yeasterday." I laugh at what he had said and just start to feel the butterflies in my stomach again. And I start to sing Taylor Swift in my head again.
We talked for five minutes and then I heard a knock on my window.
BUG!
"Hey TJ! Bug is here we can face-talk."
"Ok! Let me give you my username. " I pull a pen and paper out of my desk drawer and prepare to write
"Um ok. TJisAbeast." I cant help but laugh.
"Come on its not that funny."
"Yeah it is ok mine is, KIKILadyBug" now he laughs. And I do too.
"Now thats funny." And he hangs up and I walk over and open my window.
TJ'S P.O.V.
I hang up my phone and turn my computer on. I log on to face-talk and wait to get a call from Kai.
I wait. And I wait.
She must be talking to Bug. I laugh again at her face-talk username.
I hear my computer beep and I see the call from Kai.
Grounded. Maybe this wont be so bad.
