I even went through the chapters and fixed (most of) the errors!

*~*~*

"And you didn't kiss him?!" My iPhone was resting against the wall of my room and sitting on the headboard of my bed whilst it displayed Sarah wide-open mouth.

In the top corner, my pained expression was displayed - thankfully on a much smaller scale, "No," I huffed, "I was like-" I pushed my face right up to the camera, "This close, to his freckled face and then Maria shouted on him to take his turn and the moment was lost," I put my hands over my heart and fell backwards onto my bed.

Sarah squealed back at me, "And what does Ness think of that?" Sarah giggled, Ness had told me to 'go and get some' when I had explained what my shopping emergency was all about.

"I don't know..." I shook my head, "I haven't spoke to her since school." On Friday night I had been texting Sarah about the date and during and after. Obviously I had text Ness too, but I had no reply to any of the four messages I sent her. There was no answer on her phone for most of Saturday.

I explained all of this to Sarah, "And then she just sent me, Sorry phone on silent, got a headache. Do you think something's up with her?" I gripped the white collar of my shirt and bit my lip.

I watched the icon-sized me do the same and I realised how often I did it. Every time I caught myself biting my lip, I transferred to my gum. At least that way I didn't look like I was constantly giving a pathetic attempt at sexy.

"She was talking to me on Facebook yesterday," Sarah pulled a kirby out of the back of her head and her dirty blonde hair came tumbling down, I sighed. Sarah's hair was long and naturally wavy without being frizzy. It was beautiful.

"Have I done something?" I tugged at my collar again. Fold, unfold, fold, unfold.

"I don't think so, I don't see any problems," Sarah looked over to the side at something I couldn't see, "Be back two secs," She got up and left the room.

What could I have done to offend Ness? I mean, was it a jealousy thing? That happened a lot. And her family were having money problems at the moment, I think. She probably wouldn't tell me but surely Sarah would know?

There were just little things every now and again like when she was complaining about how they never turn on the heating and that they were only going on holiday for one week and it was to Blackpool, there was also a hole in her school blazer that must have been there since last year because it was definitely there when school started this year. I grunted.

My phone buzzed and the familiar ringtone went off, I snapped my head towards it and dived forward just in case the vibration made it fall from it's precarious position. I recognised the name instantly. It was Ty.

Hey Alyssa x you busy?

I had been texting him for over a week but I still got sparks in my thumbs as I typed back. However, I had stopped over thinking every word that I put into the message, so there was some progress.

Not for you. I typed and then promptly deleted. Nope x what do you have in mind? Send. Was that too quick? I asked myself but before I could worry too much the next text flew in. Clearly not, then.

I want to show you something... Immediately followed by, A place, that is.

I laughed, realising how the first text sounded. Give me ten?x

Fifteen :) he replied. And I knew that was because it was how long it took him to get to my house from his.

And where are we going? I giggled, the smile still on my face from the start of the conversation. Did this count as our second date? I didn't think it did but I mean why not?
