Tortured (A Matthew Espinosa Fanfic)

An Unexpected Surprise

My house was right next to Zoey's. another reason we usually carpooled. I walked into my house, threw down my bag onto the dark, hardwood floor and hopped over the black leather sectional in my living room to sit and relax.

I shouted into my large, open house. "I'm home!" No reply came. I was an only child, and my parents were gone a lot for work, so usually I had the house to myself. But at least I have Zoey to keep me company.

Later that night Zoey came over so we could watch a movie and talk about boys. The doorbell rang, so I opened it to an unexpected face.

"Danny?!" I gasped. Daniel Kalihan. Only the hottest senior to have ever walked the earth, and he was at MY door?! I got nervous all of a sudden. "What are you doing here?" I asked with shortness of breath.

"I've seen you around, and I think you're pretty cool. And....I was kinda wondering if maybe you would like to catch a movie with me sometime?" He flicked his dark brown shaggy hair away from his eyes. And stared at me.

I thought I was going to faint, but instead a few words trickled out of my mouth. "Sure! I would love that." I smiled at him, and he flashed one back at me that showed his unmistakable surprise and happiness at my answer.

"Well I should get going, but hey, I'll catch you later." He winked at me and pulled a marker out of the back pocket of his black skinny jeans. He wrote down some numbers on my hand, smiled at me again, and walked away from my house.

I stood there, mouth agape, in silence after I shut the door. "Oh. My. God." I shot a text to Zoey and told her to come over NOW.
