The Dancer

Doing the Dishes

   
     We didn't have school for the next few days so I had slept in and just lounged around the house most of the time. Jack and I haven't really spoken or texted each other since my idiot friends decided to text him telling him to marry me. That had caused me to be a little down; I really hoped they didn't make him uncomfortable or anything like that. I just hoped he was really busy or something and wasn't able to text me.

I lazily slumped downstairs to the kitchen to grab a snack. I found some Ramen noodles and quickly cooked those and grabbed some orange juice. When the noddles were done, I quietly crept back upstairs past my mom who was sleeping on the couch. She hadn't been getting much sleep lately. Working by herself to provide for the both of us was wearing her out. Maybe I'd try to find a job soon.

Once I was back in my room, I settled in my bed and thought about texting Jack but decided against it and started to watch some YouTube instead. I didn't want to come on too strong; especially not after my best friends just spammed him, telling him to marry me. God that was so embarrassing, but I just explained to him that they were just being stupid and he laughed at that so hopefully he didn't read to much into it. I like him and I'm pretty sure he knows about it too but I don't know and it's all so freaking confusing! Ugh!

     I mean I could text him, the only problem being was I was feeling really flirty so it would be pretty obvious I liked him if I did text him. But what's the worst that could happen? Getting rejected by the first person I've ever really liked? Yep. Sounds about right. But he did say he liked it when I called him beautiful, so maybe? Ugh, I still really don't know but I decided to send him a text anyway.

Jackaboy: Hey Mark;) What's up?

     Mark: Nothing much, hbu?

     Jackaboy: Just sitting around at home. Too bad we can't hang out

Mark: Who ever said we couldn't hang out?

Jackaboy: .....uh idk

Mark: DO YOU WANNA COME OVER?????

Jackaboy: Jeez man, you really need to stop yellingXD But yeah, I'll ask my ma

Mark: YAY

Jackaboy: What did I just say about the yelling?

Mark: SorryXD Now go ask ya goober

I felt the smile grow on my face, hoping and praying Jack would be able to come over. I heard my phone ding, expecting a text from Jack but a little surprised when it was from my other friends.
