It All Started With Some Spilt Milk

Forced Wonderful Personal Time (Part 1)

*buzz* *buzz*

I looked at my phone as it was charging. This was the seventh notification in the past like five minutes. Knowing my luck, is was either the stupid horn group chat or Kanicki's Remind101 text. All I know is that I don't feel like wasting my time and happiness hoping it's from someone important...that someone being Scarlett...

I continued doing my AP Stats homework, occasionally looking back at my phone because I was definitely second guessing myself. I finally caved as I flipped my phone over to see who it was texting me.

3 Missed text notifications from...Mom and +6825549109

Ah great, exactly who I wanted to text me right now. I threw my phone against the wall as it landed on the ground and then vibrated again. Probably another stupid text again from someone I dont wanna talk to at the moment. Like always I ignored it and kept barreling through the mass amount of homework I had. It buzzed again and again. I wasnt gonna be fooled twice. It buzzed a couple more times as it started to spark my interest more and more.

"Has to be the horn section group chat," is was what I was saying to convince myself not to look at it. I was halfway done believing myself when I remembered a crucial detail about my fake truth...

I muted the horn group chat three days ago...

I fell over my bed, crawling and rushing towards my phone. I was almost excited but scared of what other horrors or disappointment could be waiting for me on that screen. I picked up my phone and braced myself for the worst possible outcome, waiting to see Remind101 or "Hey baby, its Mom, just wondering how your day is going?" I took a deep breath and press the home button as the screen lit up to show me my missed notifications.

7 Missed text notifications from...Mom, +6825549109, and Scarlett

Well look at that, not one or two but, four messages from Scarlett. Great, here we go again boys. Four messages in a row like that only means one thing, time to play villian. I can already see it now.

Actually you know what, its not all good between us. You're a dick and blah blah blah...

It was fun while it lasted. I knew she was out of my league. Why on God's earth would a perfection like her ever want a dumbass like me? I put in my passcode and pulled up my messages and read all the texts from my Mom first to postpone the end as much as I could. I replied to her and took a deep breath and scrolled up back to Scarlett's messages...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Scarlett: Hey Alexander, how does free ice cream later sound as an apology?

Scarlett: I know it's sorta sudden, sorry lol!

Scarlett: But if you're wanting to go just lmk haha...

Scarlett: Okay, I promise I'll stop texting every 5 seconds now

-----------------------------------------------------------

Holy fucking shit, someone pinch me I'm dreaming. Did that really just happen? This had to be bullshit. I went from Mom to this? I went from spilling milk on her to this? I went from twisted ankle and rough car rides to THIS? Thank you God, thank you. Shit, give me six ankles to twist and next thing you know Scarlett Johansson will be wanting to be marry me!

*Scarlett's POV*

Its been five minutes...no, I lied, it's been eight. Maybe he's asleep or something? Or maybe he's still mad? Fuck, did I do this all too soon? I mean, I know I sorta just acted on emotion and everything but, an ice cream date!? Am I insane? Well, its not really a date, just a way of saying sorry, thats all. Yeah, exactly, just an apology. You're just two friends going out for ice cream. Nothing more, nothing less...
