Arrival (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 2

The girl who I assumed was Jessica answered within a minute. Her face came onto the screen and I was surprized at how perfect she looked. Strangely enough, I was a bit jealous. She had gorgeous blonde hair and the eyeliner around her eyes made the bright blue color of them stand out even more. I had a feeling this wasn't going to go well, but she started the conversation.

"Hello! I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jess." she said with a smile.

"Hi, I'm Callie."

"Very nice to meet you, Callie! How was your day today?"

Her British accent was strong and she was nicer than I expected. Maybe a little too nice.

I replied with "It was good" and we continued with small talk for a few minutes.

I found out that we both loved a few of the same things, aswell as both being 18. We agreed to become friends and share what happened every day after school.

"So, are there any cute guys in any of your classes?" Jess jokingly asked with a laugh.

"Well there is this one guy named Mason. Today was his first day but he seemed nice and had some good looks."

"Oh, look at you. Quite charming if I do say so myself. Tackling a guy after his first day!"

"Oh please. I dropped something and he picked it up for me. We barely even talked." I said, but added a smile so my tone wasn't too harsh.

"Calm down, I was kidding. You're lucky though, I've never had a real boyfriend before."

I was very surprized by this. "Really? Maybe it's not such a bad thing though, since you haven't had to handle a breakup yet. My boyfriend broke up with me a year ago and I'm still not over him. I tend to get too attached to people."

"That doesn't have to be a bad thing either." Jessica replied. "Just don't get too attached to me."

What? I have no idea what she meant by that, but I let it go. I start arguements easily and this was going well so far. We talked until about 9 when I heard my dad walk in the front door.

"I'm sorry to go, but my dad just got home. I will make sure to call you after school tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Okay, talk to you soon."

I clicked the end call button and turned off my laptop.

Today was a long day. I met 2 new people, a record for me. However, I had a strange feeling Jessica was hiding something from me.
