Arrival (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 3

After taking notes, Jessica and I talked all weekend about school, music, boys, and all sorts of different things. We also talked about out plans for summer, since it was coming up soon. Only about 4 weeks left until Graduation. We talked so much, I found myself not going to bed until 4 in the morning. I'm lucky I fixed my sleeping scedule by Monday.

I woke up Monday morning around 6 and headed straight to school. The day went by extremely slowly, but I was excited to see Mason and talk to Jessica.

When I walked into History, Mason was sitting where he was yesterday. I said "Hey" and took a seat next to him.

"Hey, it's Callie right?"

"Yeah, nice to see you here again."

"Of course I'm going to be here, I'm in this class."

Shit. I'm so stupid.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. It's a Monday."

He nodded with a smirk on his face. Mrs. Princeton began talking.

"Good afternoon everyone. To start off, I'm going to let you talk with your classmates and discuss how your projects are going. You have about 10 minutes, then I'm going to hand out some information about the UK and some worksheets you will finish for homework."

I turned to Mason.

"So, who did your partner turn out to be?" I asked him.

"No one special. Just the average British dude, I guess. He's kinda nerdy, so this should be easy."

"I'm surprized you got through highschool with that attitude. You're lucky it's almost over."

"Very funny. I was actually homeschooled for my entire life, but my parents wanted me to get some human interaction for my last year."

Well that explains that.

We talked for the remaining 10 minutes about the project and some other things. Again, class was over quickly.

"Callie, can I talk to you for a sec?"

I heard Mason call my name just as I left. As he finished packing his things, I walked back over to him.

"Sure" I replied. What could he want? We only met last week.

"I was wondering if I could get our number."

I had to wait a couple seconds to take in what he just asked me.

"What?" I said, more harshly than I intended to.

"Geez, I'm sorry that I want your number. Usually girls are flattered."

"Well, Mr Womanizer. Talk about escallating quickly."

"Oh shut up. I'm surprized you even remember me saying that. Now give me your number before we get yelled at for being in this classroom."

"Okay okay." I finally agreed, and gave him a small strip of paper with my phone number written in bubbly handwriting.

"Thank you."

"No problem hot shot." I smirked

"Enough of your stupid jokes. Go home already." He teased

"Fine. Bye Mason."

"Bye."

I arrived home with a happy attitude and went straight to my laptop. Jess hasn't tried calling yet, which was a bit strange. I didn't think anything of it so I jumped into the shower and got ready for bed early.

It was around 1 A.M. when I woke up to the sound of my laptop ringing. I completely forgot about skype. Why was Jessica calling me so late at night?

I ran over to my laptop to answer the call. As soon as I clicked answer, Jessica's face appeared on the screen. She had thin black lines running down her face and her eyes glistened with tears.

"Oh my gosh, Jess, what happened?"

"It was Harry." she replied.
