The Boy Next Door

The Text

Grace would swing her head around almost stunned by the voice she had just heard

Emma: Oh, you must not know me, I'm Emma

She shot grace a cheerful smile.

Grace: Oh hi Emma! Would you like to take a seat? I'm all alone.

Grace would laugh nervously as she gestured to the seat across her.

Grace: I have no idea who this girl is... or what she wants. Why is she sitting near me.

Emma: so what's your name?

Grace: it's.. Grace.

Emma: sooo... grace, why are you all alone?

Grace: oh, my friend Lucy ditched me for some boy...

Emma: aww Grace that sucks! I wouldn't ditch my friends.

Grace: she must want something

Grace looked down at her food. Still thinking about what just happened earlier.

Emma: Hello? Are you okay grace?

Grace: Oh! Year I'm f-fine.

Emma: you don't seem okay...

Emma would lean over and inch over to my ear she whispered..

Emma: is it a boy...?

Grace is stunned, shocked, she is SHOOK.

Grace: what the fuck... how did she know??

Grace: actually yeah it is..

Grace would laugh nervously as she poked at her food.

Emma squealed as she took my hand and squeezed them.

Emma: WHO!?!

Grace: ugh. Seriously

Grace: oh, just some kid Jacob..

Emma looked stunned

Emma: THE Jacob. Like that popular one?

Grace: yeah... actually it is..

Emma: oh honey no. He's a TOTAL player. I should know.

Grace: wait.. how would you know?

Emma: Oh! I'm his cousin

Grace nearly dropped her spork

Grace: what the.. shouldn't she be super popular?

Grace: Oh, really?

Emma: yeah! Totally, if you wanted to I could hook you two up

Grace was in total blush mode. Did she really want this?

Grace: oh I'm fine

Grace: STUPID SAY YES. YOU'RE SO DUMB!!

Emma looked kinda upset for a moment. Her face then lit up

Emma: oh okay :) how about I give you my number and we can talk later

The bell was about to ring. She quickly wrote down her number and sprung to class. The rest of the day was a blur considering it was not interesting at all.

After school Grace came home and Plopped down on her bed.

Grace would look at the number written down on the paper that had some cranberry juice on it.

Grace: she seemed really nice. I should text her maybe we should go to the mall or something, get to know each other..

Grace would react the number.
