CHAPTER 7

MORNING....

Phone rings.........

I was sleeping when I heard my phone ringing. I refused paying attention to it, so I buried my face in my pillow.

Phone rings........

Ahhh! I groaned and picked up the call.

"Good morning," the caller said.

"Who's this?" I yelled at the caller.

"It's Derek Anderson," he said, causing my heart to skip a bit.

"Oh....it's you." Surprised he called so early.

"Yes. How are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm fine and you?" I replied feeling kinda nervous.

"I'm good. Hope you slept well?" He asked.

"Nope because you just woke me up. How is Lucy?" I asked, trying to cover up how nervous I was.

"I'm so sorry, didn't mean to wake you up that way. She's fine. Just wanted to say hi." He sounded sincere.

"Apology accepted." I didn't want to make things complicated.

"I got to go now. Talk to you later," he said.

"Bye." I hung up immediately so he won't notice anything.

Hearing his voice made my day. I was feeling so lazy to get up from bed cause I was picturing his cute face and that charming voice of his on my mind.

I pinched myself. Stop thinking about some guy you know nothing about, silly girl. Get up and prepare for school, I laughed at my foolishness and soon enough I was up and going.

"Get me coffee," I told Charlotte.

"Just coffee?" She asked, as she gave me that weird look.

"Yeah," I said hoping she didn't notice anything.

"I hope you're OK?" She asked, looking worried.

"Yes." I just lied and gave her a fake smile, I wasn't ready to discuss it with anyone at the moment. She left to get the coffee.

Charlotte David is my second best friend. She knows me better than I know myself. I admit something is wrong but I can't just start telling her I'm thinking about some guy I just met.

"Have it." She handed me the coffee.

"Thank you." I smiled at her so she won't suspect anything.

"Now tell me why you're this way." She insisted.

"It's nothing. Just stressed out. That's all." I lied to her again.

"I'm not convinced," She said to me looking at my face as if everything was written on my face.

Bell rings.....

"Gotta go," I said, rushing to pack up my belongings.

"But you....." She started saying.

"I should be heading for my History class, can't afford to be late." I stopped her from saying more and I hurried left so she won't bug me with more questions.

"Bye." I waved at her and left.

Immediately I got into my room, I buried myself on my bed cause I'm badly exhausted. I thought of having a shower, then ate and slept. Though I'm too weak but I'll manage.
