Not So Perfect

Come and Play

It was Monday morning and I was doing my hair, getting ready for school, I was currantly late and having my phone start to ring wasn't helping. Trying to hold my hair up with one hand and balancing my hairbrush in my mouth, i juggled my phone to my ear with the free hand. I really needed more hands.

"Hello?" I asked breathless.

Silence.

"Helloo?" I repeated with a saracastic edge to my voice.

Again, no answer. Just breathing. I glanced down at the ID but it said blocked. What the hell?

I hung up, I had no time for stupid prank calls. I threw my phone on the bed and picked up a hair band instead finishing my hair.

Why would someone prank call me at 8:00 am in the morning?

Pushing those thoughts to the back of my head, I rushed downstairs, grabbed a cereal bar and my keys before hearing Tori's beap of her horn. My mum had already left for work so I had to lock up the house.

When I got into Tori's car she gave me a pointed look and I couldn't help but give a sheepish smile.

"I'm sorry! I know I'm late! You know I don't do Mondays!" I put my bag by feet and put my seatbelt on.

She rolled her eyes. "Oh hell, I know that but would it kill you to get up earlier?"

"Yes." I replied snatching her sun glasses from the glove compartment.

She sighed. "Asking would be nice too you know."

"What crawled up your butt today?" I asked curiously slipping on the glasses which immediatly relieved my eyes. The sun didn't feel like it was burning holes now. Tori wasn't usually this annoyed in the morning.

"I wanted to kill Hunter this morning," she started. Hunter was her twin brother, and although they were close, they did have some very pathetic fights.

"What did he do now?" I asked in a weary voice. Here we go.

She whacked a hand on the steering wheel out of anger. "He spent a damn 45 minutes in the bathroom!"

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"He knew I was waiting. I kept banging on the door every five minutes." She admitted.

I sighed. "why can I sense more to this story?"

"And!" she carried on ignoring my comment, "He didn't let me in untill I aggreed to do clean his room!"

I cringed. "Ew!"

"I know!" she cried.

"What are you going to do?" I questioned spotting some of the school students walking up the paths bedside the road.

We slowed down to a traffic light. "I'm not going to do it! I'll get someone else to do it,"

I chuckled at her. "Yeah because that's going to happen, anyone with a brain knows what Hunters room will look like,"

"Will you do it?" she asked expectantly. I started laughing. She had to be joking!

Tori's face was serious when I looked over at her.

I stopped laughing and began to gape. "Your not serious are you? Do I look like someone with no brain?"

"Um yeah, I am serious, please Callie! Please! Please! Please!"

The traffic light showed green as I swallowed noisily. I shuddered at the thought of even stepping into his room.

She sighed. "Don't worry about it, I'll just bribe someone, it's amazing what someone will do for money."

We zoomed forward again and chatted about random stuff till we reached the school. We both walked along the school paths up to our locker.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hallways changed and it quietened down, not enough for it to go dead silence but enough that you could tell.

She grinned and giggled, as the 'one and only' (my crush) came down the school corridor giving girls a wink as he passed. I mean, everyone knew he was a player but we all forgot that when he came near us.

"I don't know why you don't just say hi," She commented to me as she turned back to her locker. I frowned. Say hi to him?! That would be impossible! if he actually noticed me it might be a little easier....I narrowed my eyes at her. Tori's cheeks were getting pink...

"Look who's talking," I smirked. She scowled at me, her face turning an even brighter pink.

"Oh your sooooo funny!" she said sarcastically.

Even she, the one who didn't take no flirting from any guy, was falling for him...

Cole....

"Tori, how you doing?" he asked stopping just by us. I blinked and immediatly felt my face heat up.

He winked in my direction and I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "Do you have a twitch?"

His eyes darted over to mine, a look of confusion and amusment of his face. "Excuse me?"

"I mean...just you...your eyes..." I was lost for words. How did I explain this? His features hardened and I gasped silently, what the hell was I doing?!

He raised an eyebrow, amusement clear in his eyes as he waited for me to finish my sentence.

"You blink all the time?" I burst out. My face could not get any hotter than what it already was.

"Yeah, sweetheart, it's called winking," he demonstrated with another wink. Now coming to think about it, it looked a little creepy....wait a minute....my line of thought catched up with me and I felt my heart beat harder.

He called me 'sweetheart'! Oh my god!

I ignored Tori beside me trying not to snort with laughter.

"Yeah, I know that, but it's like you got a...twitch?" I was putting myself to shame. I had repeated this about a dozen times...was he stupid too?

He shrugged looking not so bothered and looked back to Tori, but I saw his chin was slightly rigid. Had I annoyed him?

"I'm doing fine thanks, how about you?" she replied to his earlier question.

How could she look so cool and collected?!

"Good thanks, slightly put down by your friends comment, but I think I can move past it," he snickered at me.

"Leave her alone, it does look kinda freaky Cole, just saying," she backed me up. See! I poked my tongue out at him in my head.

"Okay, okay, I'll tone it down a little. Just for you Tori!" he smirked and backed up from us, "See you around girls," and just for me, he winked directly at my face.

I glared at him. He chuckled then spun around and continued down the hall.

But you know what got me? He left me wanting him even more.
