||new book!! most of the chapters have been drafts for almost a year now and im finally publishing it because why not🤷‍♀️||

Heather's P.O.V.

"Come on, just call this number." My best friend Tay typed a number in my phone and dialed it.

"Who is it?" I put in on speaker then mute.

"It's my cousin Stephanie, you'll like her, I want all 3 of us to hang out, and she wants to get to know you, so she told me to get you to call her."

"Okay." 'Stephanie' answered on the 5th ring.

"Hello?" It was a guy's voice and Tay looked at me confused.

"This is not your cousin Stephanie!" I whisper-yelled.

"Catfish him, why not, you already got him on the phone." She laughed. I took it off mute.

"Hey?" I put it back on mute.

"I am not going to catfish him!"

"Who is this?" I took it off mute.

"My name is Heather, you?"

"How are you going to call me and ask me who I am?"

"Well actually my friend called you and she typed in the wrong number." I stared at Tay as she fake smiled.

"Then why are you still on the phone?"

"Where are you from?"

"Why do you need to know?"

"I'm not going to come stalk you or anything, just tell me where your from."

"Texas."

"Stephanie is from Cincinnati right?"
I asked Tay and she nodded.

"You typed in a Texas area code dumbass, it's supposed to be 513 not 512."

"Oops?" She didn't even care.

"Well you just gave me whoever Stephanie is' number."

"It's not like you're gonna call her."

"Is she pretty?"

"I don't know."

"So you were gonna call this Stephanie girl and you don't know even know who she is?"

"I called you didn't I?"

"Actually according to you your friend called me."

"Well it's my phone and I'm talking to you."

"But she dialed my number."

"Same difference, are you gonna tell me your name or not."

"I don't know, why should I?"

"Well we have kinda been on the phone for almost 5 minutes."

"How do I know you aren't messing with me?"

"Why would I be messing with you? I have no idea who you are."

"Jacob has chaangged I don't like him anymore." Tay said looking at her phone.

"Nobody cares about whoever Jacob is and whether he's changed or not." I said towards her.

"See! You are messing with me! You know who I am."

"Are you this Jacob kid she's talking about?"

"No."

"I don't know who you are, I swear, I don't even know who Jacob is."

"Hmmhm sure."

"I promise."

"What's younow?"

"I don't know."

"Do you have a laptop or a computer?"

"I have a Mac, yeah."

"Okay I want you to look someone up."

"You better not be making me look you up in second person."

"I'm not."

"So what's their name?"

"Jacob Sartorious."

"I could care less on who that Jacob kid is."

"Okay well then look up Nick Bean." I looked him up.

"I hope you aren't trying to hook me up with him, he looks too old for me." I laughed.

"Lol, then look up Zach Clayton." I looked him up.

"Oh my gosh what is this?" I laughed.

"You think he's ugly?"

"No, he's hot, I don't know how though."

"That makes no sense."

"Basically he had a huge glow up."
"Oh."

"Heather, my mom texted me, I have to go home." Tay said.

"Okay, bye." I said towards her.

"Bye." We hugged and she walked out.

"I guess she was the one who called me."

"Sure."

"Well she did."

"She dialed the number but I'm the one talking."

"Exactly, so therefore she called me."

"But you don't know who pressed call."

"Then who did?"

"Her." I laughed.

"You're dumb." He laughed.

"I am not dumb." I laughed.

"I probably know more than you."

"How old are you?"

"16."

"Yeah, you probably know more than me anyway."

"How old are you?"

"15."

"That's not that far. Do you know what 5quad is?"

"No."

"Um... do you know-"

"If it's in your little community you have there then I don't know."

"Then what's 'your little community'?"

"I don't have one." I laughed.

"Nice."

"Yep, it's great." I said sarcastically.

"What would you do if I told you I lied to you?"

"I wouldn't really react, just about everyone who's come in my life has lied to me, but it would take me awhile to trust you again and I would question if everything you said was true until you could prove to me it was."

"Okay well I'm not lying when I say this, but you looked me up."

"I knew that's what you were going to do, which one?"

"I'm Zach, and 5quad is a group I'm in, and Nick is in that group, and younow is a website we all broadcast live from."

"So are y'all famous?"

"No, more like well known."

"Oh."

"Do you believe me?"

"Yeah, you didn't really lie to me about something big, I don't really care, it's fine."

"Oh, okay."

"Well I'm going to bed, it's late."

"Okay." I ended the call. I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk to him again or not. He was kinda rude but then he had sympathy behind his voice. I did my nightly routine and drifted off to sleep.
