How to be Visible

Chapter 32

"Please excuse me." I stood up and walked into the lobby before answering the phone call.

"Hello?" I greeted the boy on the other side of the line.

"Hey, Rita, long time no talk. You know it pains me that you forgot about me so quickly." Tyler's voice danced in my ears.

I smiled.

"How dare I do such a terribly horrible thing to a beautiful being like you?" I mocked.

"I always knew that you found me attractive." I could tell that there was a smirk on his face.

"So why did you call?" I asked, twirling my black strands around my fingers. I was starting to miss my brown hair.

"Two reasons actually. One, I figured that Brittney and Chase didn't have the guts to tell you, so I wanted to tell you myself. Jessica is a lying rat, never befriend a lying rat. She was responsible for everything you faced. Befriend good, caring and beautiful beings such as myself. B. I gave my life to Christ on Wednesday at some youth group meeting. Turns out that going to church is not bad at all. Plus the girls in my youth group are smoking hot." He explained.

"Tyler!" I exclaimed and then put my hand over my mouth realizing I was not alone.

"What? Just saying." He laughed.

"Whatever. I already know about Jess and I've already forgiven her and the fact that you're now a Christ follower is amazing!" I smiled.

"You've forgiven her? Oh maybe you didn't hear clearly. I said she was responsible for the video and other stuff and thank you." He finished.

"I heard you for sure. I just want to hear her side of the story. I'll speak with her the night of my return. Were landing in NV in the afternoon. You guys will come with me." I explained.

"Hmm. Okay. We'll hide when you meet with her. We have to be with you. I don't trust her. I don't trust your overly handsome boy friend either." He added.

"Yeah me too. I think I'll break up with him before I speak with Jess. Shane will drive me to see her. It has to be somewhere open but closed. Maybe an alley." I smiled at my genius plan.

"Sure whatever you say. So I was wondering, when you're done talking to the traitors, can we like.. Uhm ... Like uh.. Go on a . .. Uh.. Date?" He stuttered.

"Awwwn. That is so cute. You being shy is extremely cute and yeah I'd love to go on one date with you." I smiled sheepishly.

"Oh wow. Thanks. So I'll um.. see you ... um later then.. Yeah.. Bye." He quickly ended the call.

I just found it so cute.

"Now can we go for our final conference?" Chase asked, standing behind me.

"Oh, yeah, sure... You didn't stand there all through my phone call did you?" I felt kind of bad if he actually listened to me agreeing to go on a date with Tyler. I didn't know why, I just felt kinda bad. I wondered why.

"Aside from you going on a date with the extremely cute shy boy, no I didn't hear much. Come on let's go." He turned and started walking.

I ran until I was side by side with him.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to. Look if you're not okay with it, I can cancel in him. Its not late." I blabbed.

He paused and looked down at me.

"Why would I not be okay with it? Why would you cancel because of me? That's rude though but why are you even apologizing?" He studied my face and kept a blank expression on his.
