The day I butt-dialled bars and melody

1. What the hell Naomi?

It is Saturday, sleepover day. Me and my friends Tilly, Olivia, and Teri are sat in a circle on my bedroom floor, scoffing crisps and sweets, surrounded by blankets and cushions.

"Let's play twenty-one dares," Olivia suggests through a mouthful of crisps.

"Ok then," says Teri. "I'll start."

Twenty-one dares is where you count to twenty-one ( no way) and each person can only increase the number by one, two, or three. The person who says twenty-one has to do a dare.

Fun right? No.

"One, two," Teri begins.

"Three four five," says Tilly.

"Siiiiix, seeeeveeen, eightttttt," I say in a stupid voice, being and idiot as usual.

"Nine ten" says Olivia.

We go round again, and it lands on me.

"I dare Naomi tooo..." Tilly begins, smirking, " To text Henry Chapman declaring her undying love for him."

"Tilly! No way am I doing that," I tell her, but I know I can't back out of a dare. I, Naomi Leigh, am the queen of dares.

Henry Chapman is a boy in our class. He is loud and constantly hyperactive, and he has a long fringe, not the cool kind; the kind that gets stuck in your eyes and he is always flicking it out of his eyes, which I find very annoying as he sits next to me in five lessons, and all I can see is his hands going flick flick flick.

It's quite off-putting.

"You have to," Olivia says. " Or it's a forfeit,"

I do not want a forfeit. Especially from Tilly.

"Fine, " I sigh, taking my phone from my bedside table. It is a great phone actually; an iPhone 5S. You are probably wondering why I have Henry Chapman's number in my phone, well there is a perfectly reasonable answer. Actually there isn't. When I got my phone, I wanted to use it as much as possible, which resulted in me asking virtually everyone I knew for their number.

Me and Henry had one other conversation via text. It went something like this:

Hi

Hi

Wuu2?

Nm

Kk

Fun, right?

hi henry,

I write.

"Hi?" scoffs Livi. "You're in love with the guy!"

I sigh, deleting the message.

dearest henry

I love you

from Naomi

"Is that it?" Tilly says.

I sigh louder, deleting the message again.

dearest henry

I am in love with you

your hair is cool

and I like your glasses

I love you

from Naomi

"That'll do," Tilly says, and I press send. He replies straight away.

To Naomi,

I feel the same way too!

You are so beautiful and maybe we can get married?

I guess you are my girlfriend now?

All my love,

Henry

Everyone instantly bursts out laughing, including me, though I feel bad.

"What a creep," Teri scoffs.

"I'm gonna kill you guys," I mumble.

I start to tap out another message.

to henry

sorry but I don't love you in that way

I mean as a friend

because I already love someone

who isn't you soz

from Naomi

"Ooooh!" the girls chorus, though they already know who it is. I mean, I go on about it all the time.

"Poor Henry!" says Teri, but she starts giggling.

My phone beeps again and I look down at it. There is another message from Henry.

Naomi,

I must say for a moment I thought you were serious.

My heart is broken

I hope you and your lover are very happy together.

Henry

"Oh dear," I say, showing the girls the message. They laugh again but I can't help but feel mean.

"I'm gonna say it was a dare," I tell them. Tilly protests but I ignore her and begin typing,

hey henry soz I upset ya

it was a dare so yea

soz again but yknow ur just not 4 me

Naomi

"That was cold!" says Livi, hitting me with a cushion. This soon turns into a full blown pillow fight and we all start attacking each other.

After we stop pillow fighting we watch pitch perfect, and Teri shoves a pillow up her top and starts doing a Fat Amy impression. Everyone gets hyper. and starts thumping around on the floor so loudly that my brother Alex comes in.

"Can you just shut up? Some of us are trying to fight zombies here!" he yells, slamming my bedroom door behind him. I have never understood why Tilly has a thing about him. I guess it is hard to see Alex that way when you have seen him pee naked all over the lawn. Good times.

We do not shut up, so my mum comes in at eleven and tells us to settle down. She glares at me which means that she will most likely tell me off when the others have left.

I get into my pyjama and we all get into our camp beds and me into my bed. The room is pitch black apart from the standby light on my DVD player.

I fidget around when suddenly I sit on something hard and it beeps.

I scream and jump out of bed.

"What the hell Naomi?" shrieks Teri, pushing me back into bed.

My phone beeps again and the room is filled with a masculine voice.

"Hello?" it says.

We are all like 'what?' And then I recognize the voice.

"Hello?" says the voice again. I run over to my phone and pick it up.

"Hi? Hello? Hello?" I say, but it is hopeless. He hung up.
