Short Story

Chapter 1

Although I doubted myself at first, I began to talk to this boy. Addy was somewhat of a mystery to me. He didn't know me. And I didn't know him. He was a boy, and I was a girl. All the same, I took a chance. It it all started at the very beginning of 9th grade year...

It wasn't until I confronted my longtime fear of trying out for volleyball. I was never good as all the other girls at where planning to make the team, so I worked extra hard to get on the team. And to get the other girls to like me. I crossed oceans to hang out with these sporty girls..while they wouldn't even jump a puddle for me. 

Non the less, I made the team and It was one of the biggest accomplishments in my life at that time. But..what does High School Volleyball have anything to do with me and this boy? Well.. here's how it all started out...

During one of our home games, we have to watch the JV an Varsity teams play. While I was sitting on the bleachers, I look down at my phone and notice that I got...a text? 

As I keep staring at my screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Addy.. 

A: This is gonna sound weird but I had a dream about you last night..

My mind couldn't stop spinning at this point. 

What do I say back? Why was I in his dream..maybe it was a nightmare! Naty play it cool. Take a chill pill and chill, I would tell myself.

N: omg that's so weird lmao XD       Was I a hobo in the dream?

A: No ;D 

N: What was I doing? Picking up trash or something? lol 

A: no. You where actually a big part of it. You were at a party with me

N: Was it lit XD 

A: oh ya ;) XD 

N: Niceee

As we continued to text, I began to feel happiness deep in my chest. The funny and playful Naty I always was arising. I just needed someone to bring it out. These volleyball girls really brought me down with their bad vibes. Addy helped bring me back to Earth and out of my head. I just didn't know how to thank him at the time. 

That's when we started to play this game... A game where we have to ask each other a question and answer truthfully. 

At the time, I was so nervous. I didn't know what kind of questions he would ask. Yet, I knew he was a Scoprio ;) so we talked about relationships. Yet..It wasn't awkward at all. Addy made it fun and I enjoyed communicating with him. Even if it was just through our phones.

We continued to talk, and I learned so much about him that I never knew before.. Yet, for some reason, he had me feeling so exposed. I told him so many things. Things I haven't told ANYONE before. He had this effect on me. It was so easy to talk to Addy that, I somehow gave him a piece of my heart without realizing it. And this was just the beginning. The tip of the iceberg...
