Wrong Number// Zach Herron

Chapter 2

Laken's POV

"Logan?" I peak my head around the corner and I am greeted by a plate smashing. "Laken! I've missed you," Logan exclaims and hugs me. I smile," I missed you too!" He points his camera at me and I smile. " Wuzza Logang!" I yell at his camera. Logan laughs. " So who are the 5 cute boys I ran into in the lobby?" I question, needing to know about the mystery boy. " Oh, you mean the Why Don't We boys? They left like 5 minutes before you got up here," He responds laughing. I nod. Why Don't We? That sounds so familiar but its probably nothing. Logan points to a room," That's your room while you're here. Kong is in there waiting for you." I smile and grab my bag again and walk to the room. My phone buzzes. I pull it out to check and see a message from Jack, separate from the group chat. 

Ramen 🍜: Hey, I have a question 

Yeah? What's up?

Ramen 🍜: Which is the superior fruit, banana or strawberries?

Banana duh 

Ramen 🍜: That's what I said! But nooo 

They're crazy

Ramen 🍜: Yes they are, I gotta get dinner, but I'll text you when we get back to the house. Ily!!

Ilyt

          I turned my phone off and went into the living room, where my cousin was sitting and editing his youtube video. " Hey Logan," I smiled at him and walked to the kitchen. " Hey Laken, what are you looking for?" He asked, sitting his computer down and walking after me. " Looking for food," I respond, opening the refrigerator door. " Let's just go get chipotle or something, we can go pick up Mark and some friends." He told me, grabbing his keys. I smile and follow him out of his house. We make our way to his car, and pick up a few of his friends. Soon his car is filled with loud teenagers and young adults. We pull into chipotle and Logan parks. He is vlogging everything. We go in and get our food then sit at a circular table. " So how long are you in LA for? " Evan asks. I turn my phone off and smile," a few weeks. I'm going back a few days before my birthday. " I realize I forgot to get a fork for my burrito bowl so I get up to go and grab one. I walk up to the counter and to grab a fork. When I turn around I bump into a tall figure. Looking up I realize it's the guy from the lobby at Logan's. "Sorry, it's my bad, no it's mine," we say in sequence, I let out a giggle. "I'm sorry, I should've been watching where I was walking." He smiles, his cheeks flaming red. I smile, " It's fine, I should've been paying attention." He smiles. We look at each other for a second. There is a group of boys at a table that says," dude hurry up." He smiles. " Those are my friends, I guess I've gotta go back," he says, before starting to turn back. "Wait," I utter, stopping him. I turn and grab a pen off the counter and grab his hand. I write my number and smile up at the guy ahead of me. " Text me," I say quietly. He smiles at me and looks down at it before walking back to his group of friends. I walk back to the table and Logan looks at me. "What," I laugh. "Where's your fork? Didn't you say you were gonna grab one?" He asks, with a laugh trying not to escape. I look dumbfounded for a seconded before standing up and going back to the counter to grab my fork. When I finally have my fork and return to my table, I finally get to eat.

Zach's POV
( 30 minutes Prior)

                    " Hurry up Ding Dongs, I want food," Corbyn yelled from the car. The boys and I all pile in Jonah takes the wheel. Within a few minutes, we are pulling into the chipotle parking lot. We go in and get our orders then sit at a table. " Guy's I'll be right back, I need a napkin," I laugh and get up. When I get to the counter a girl turns around. She's fairly short so  I don't notice her right away. When she turns back we bump into each other. In sequence we say," Sorry, No sorry it's my fault." We laugh and smile at each other. For a moment we look into each other's eyes, and time stands still. " Hurry up, Zach. Come on dude," the guys yell at me. I smile at the girl. " Those are my friends, I guess I've got to back," I look at her for another moment before turning away. " Wait," she said, getting my attention. I turn back and smile at her," Yeah?" She smiles and turns around and grabs a pen from the counter. She takes ahold of my hand and scribbles something down. I look down and see a number on my hand then look back at her. " Text me," she says with a shy smile. I smile at her for a second before turning away to walk back to my table. I glance back at her as she's walking back to her table. " Dude, where is your napkin? That's like the whole reason you left," Jack asks. " My what?" I question, confused. " Your napkin?" Jonah says, in a questioning tone. It hits me, I forgot what I went to get. I laugh and steal one of the boy's napkins.

          8:00 PM

          I'm sitting in my room with some music playing in the background. I look down at my hand and the number the beautiful girl wrote. I lean back and grab my phone off of my pillow then sit back at the end of my bed. I fiddle with my pop-socket before laying back and holding my phone over my face. I open it, go into messages, and click the plus. I type in the first part of the number and a few contacts pop up. Then I type in everything except the last number and Laken's contact pops up. I type in the final number and her contact stays. I double-check the contact and it's the same number. So that means the girl was Laken. And she's literally perfect. I click on Laken's contact and type a message...

Hey Lake, can we talk?
