Texts From Danielle

Chapter 1

Daniella

I stared at my phone in shock, my eyes wide as i read the bottom message.

Seen.

How? He lost his phone how could he have read the messages, maybe it was someone else? I quickly shook my head trying to shake off my nervousness.

Nathan phone has been missing for almost two months he couldn't have probably found it. He couldn't right?

My heart hammered at the possibility of it being Nathan who read the text messages. If he read it then he must know about my feelings for him?.

No, no, no

This couldn't be happening

It couldn't be Nathan, maybe some random person had found it and saw the texts.

Right?

****
The next day, I was terrified to step into school, what if he had found his phone himself and realised my insane feeling for him, he will probably think i was a freaking loser.

With a deep breath I walked into the school building everything seemed fine and i let out a breath i hadn't even known i was holding.

I was walking to class when Dave stopped me a smile on his lips as he stared at me and I smiled back.

"Hey, What's wrong?"he asked. I tucked a lose strand of my blonde hair behind my ear before letting out a loud sigh

"Nothing just basic stuff " I said swatting my hands like a lunatic causing Dave to laugh.

"Is it because you and Nathan haven't talked?"He asked and i blushed just at the mention of his name before staring at the ground which seemed more interesting by the minute

"He misses you " dave said and my head immediately shot up at his words. Nathan missed me? But he made it clear he hated me, he made it absolutely clear that he wanted nothing to do with me.

"Yea right."I spat out of anger, Dave laughed casually swinging his arm over my shoulder and pulling me into a short side way hug.

"Trust me he does. I even thinks he has a crush on you or maybe he likes you more than a crush, he is just way too stubborn to admit it, you know Nathan." Dave sighed but he hadn't my stained red cheeks.

"And I know you like him too Danielle."Dave said and i immediately backed him from him, embarrassment and shock written all over my face

"That's a-a lie! I d-dont have a crush on that asshole!"I whispered yelled, dave simply rolled his eyes in disbelief at my words before shooting me a sly smirk.

"Please, don't think I don't notice the way you two stare at each other. It is so obvious with your lovely dovey shit, I always felt like the third wheel you know " Dave said pouting like a kid while I laughed

"Trust me, i dont like him and he hates me"I said turning to leave only to bump into someone causing all the books in my hands to fall to the ground with a loud thump.

"I am so sorry " The voice said as we both bent down to pick my books

"Its fin-"i stopped short when I looked up to see Nathan in front of me mirroring the same look on my face one of shock, our eyes wide and lips slightly open.

"Danielle." He said in a low tone I almost didn't hear it. Hurriedly, I grabbed my books and turned to walk away but he grabbed my wrist stopping me

"Hey dude " Dave said to Nathan as they both gave each other a nod

"Danielle we need to talk " He said his voice stern, I gulped as I remembered last night.

Seen.

Did he want to talk to me because he saw the messages? my heart hammered against my chest and i literally thought it was about to explode out of my chest

"A-about what?"i asked as I tried to act tough but my cracking voice gave me out.

"Not here"he said before dragging me off away from prying eyes while I cried for dave to help me, he simply walked the opposite direction and kept on whistling like he didn't hear me, traitor. I am never sharing my popcorn with him again.

He dragged me into a classroom, which was empty before staring right at me, his blue eyes staring at my green with such intensity that made my legs go weak.

"What do you want?"I squeaked out as he took a seat near me

"Yesterday, my mom was searching for something in her room and somehow found my old phone under her dresser, my little brother must have taken it and put it there or left it there or something, I don't know"he said with a sigh as he ran his hand through his soft brown locks and immediately my heart rate increased.

"No..."I whispered as I clutched my books like my life depended on it

"I charged the phone up and saw the messages you left, Danielle i-"

"Why? I thought you said you lost it at a carnival, if i knew I would never have-- have...."Then I burst out into tears while he stared at me in shock

"Just forgot I ever sent those ok? You hate me don't you? Just ask like you didn't see them and act like I don't exist. Please Nathan please"i pleaded as tears streamed down my face and i didn't even try and hold it back, he knew everything, he knew about the feelings I have kept secret for 2 years, now those secrets where out in the open and now he was going to reject me.

He was never going to be mine, the girls he had dated where a lot more beautiful, smarter and better than me, he was too good for me.

"What makes you think I hate you? "He asked standing up his eyes wide as i sniffed.

"You said so yourself Nathan, please just let this go"I begged but he didn't,  instead he walked towards me and grabbed my hand which I yanked away and immediately i did that i noticed a look of hurt flash across his face.

"Stop it Nathan, you don't get to lead me on and hurt me again, i won't allow you."i said my voice horse, he looked taken aback before frownin.g

"What the hell danielle? I was jealous ok?!"He yelled, I stared at him with wide eyes

"I love you, I realized it the night you kissed Dave, I couldn't handle it and took the anger on you because I thought you chose him danielle. I love you danielle Rebekah Carson " He said. my tears stopped flowing as i stared at him with wide eyes, he liked me?

"But when I saw the messages, it changed things, I was extremely excited and happy that the girl I liked actually liked me back and i stayed up re-reading the messages over and over again with a stupid smile on my lips because I love you " He said as he took my hand smiling and this time I didn't yank it away instead I stared at his beautiful blue eyes while he shot me a charming smile.

"B-but I am not a pretty as the other girls you have dated Nathan, I am not like you. I am not popular, I am plain."I said and he frowned

"You are alot better than them and believe me your not plain, no girl has ever egged a house with me"he smirked causing me chuckle as he used hjs thumb to clean the tears away from my face.

"Say it " he said causing me to blush, I shook my head but he insisted.

"Say it, I want to hear it from your lips. " he said as he ran his thumb on my lower lips sending shivers round my body.

"I love you" I said and immediately felt the warmth on his lips on mine, his arms wrapped around my waist while my arms found its way round his neck as i kissed him back, everything was perfect and i wouldn't have it any other way.

I was happy.

And maybe I might share my popcorn with Dave again.

Maybe.
