New Life

Chapter 5

Same day

Helena's Pov

After dinner it was my turn to clear the table. When everybody got left the dinning room I gathered the silverware in a glass and stacked the bowls on top of each other and carried them to the kitchen sink. I returned to the table to collect the remaining dishes and headed back towards the sink. I rinsed the spaghetti sauce off the dishes then placed each in carefully in the dishwasher. Popping a little dishwasher cube cleaner in the little hole it go into and pushed the button. I weaved around the corner, up the steps and slid into my room. I grabbed my phone off the vanity unlocked it and read the text from Lauren

Bestfrienddd: School was bland you weren't there and you won't ever be anymore ):

I sighed and placed my phone back on the vanity. Ever since I moved Lauren has been in this annoying ass mood where she whines about not seeing me. I do miss her, but I don't want to think about that I can't see her whenever. I should facetime her after I get off the phone with Isaiah. I pulled out some things to sleep in, a towel and headed off to the bathroom. I cut on the water to let it get hot, while waiting I put my hair In a messy bun on the top of my head, stripped and stepped in. Letting the warm water hit me I thought of my day at school even with that mindless female trying to fight me today, overall it was good. I just couldn't wait to get on the phone with Mr. Hazel eyes. The thought of him made me feel warm and tingly inside. I grasped my loofah and body wash to begin bathing. After my bath I brushed my teeth in the misty bathroom. I wiped a circle in the mirror so I could watch myself brush my teeth.

...

Sitting on my bed cross-legged staring down at Isaiah's number dialed in my phone debating on if I should call. I carefully picked up my phone as if it was a baby, quickly I hit the green button and placed it next to my ear.

One ring I let out a sigh.

Two ring I bit my lip nervously

Three ring I kept thinking I should hang up.

"Hello?" a voice from the line called out.

"Um, Hi is this Isaiah?" I asked and immediately I felt a cold rush up my my spine and a flutter of butterflies was let loose in my belly.

"Yeah It's Isaiah, I didn't think you were gonna call me." He confessed.

"Oh, ahaa. What are you doing" I asked feeling the butterflies move around faster inside.

"I'm just chilling, talking to a beautiful girl on the phone. What about you ma." he conversed

I closed my eyes feeling my cheeks turn blush red. "Sitting on my bed talking to you" I managed to say through my nervousness. I didn't understand why I was even nervous. Usually everything just flows, but right now I'm choked up in my own words.

"You sound bored" I hear him laugh.

"Yeah kinda, I just got out the shower" I told him.

"Oh yeah?, Whatcha doing this weekend?" he asked.

"Umm, I'm going to a party Friday and I'm staying with a friend" I spilled.

"Oh, that's too bad I was thinking about asking you out this weekend" He vented.

I swallowed hard. If my tummy wasn't already turning inside, it was now. "Maybe another time?" I spoke quickly.

"Yeah, well Ima let you go. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight ma" he said magically. Or it was just my imagination.

"Goodnight Isaiah" I kinda said sing songly.

Next Day

I just wonder,

Do you ever,

Think of me,

Anymore, do you? ~Ney-Yo Do you

Waking up to this song reminded me of the old feelings and memories I had with Brandon. I quickly turned it off and dragged my feet to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Looking in the mirror brushing my teeth trying to clear some mental space when I heard five hard knocks on the bathroom door.

I rinsed my mouth finishing up my hygiene and swung the door open. "What?" I mumbled still half asleep.

"Move out the way I gotta pee!" Tyler squealed running towards the toilet.

"You coulda held it." I snapped back return to my room to put on my clothes. I decided to wear some acid wash high-waisted jean shorts and a pink love half shirt with some matching pink sandals. I sat at my vanity to put my hair in a better bun than last night and to do my make up. I grabbed my black backpack from next to my bed, snatched my phone up from my bed and rushed out the room.

I wasn't even running late. My phone illuminated signaling that I had a messaged. I unlocked it and swiped at my notification screen.

Isaiahh : Goodmorning Beautiful c:

All could do was smile I quickly replied and grabbed a bag of almonds and a banana off the kitchen counter.

"Goodmorning Helana" Char greeted sounding very peachy

"Goodmorning" I grumbled taking a bite out of my banana. She was taking us to school this morning. After she dropped me off I went to the cafeteria to get a bottle of water. When I sat down with my almonds and water the skinny mexican boy from yesterday sat down in front of me.

"Hey, I didn't get your name yesterday." he spoke breaking the slience between us

"Helana" I replied still looking down at my breakfast.

"Oh, pretty name to match a pretty face." he smiled causing me to look up.

"Thanks" I smiled back. Then the bell rang for first period. "I'll see you later?"

"Most definitely" he said standing up slipping his hand in his front pockets.

Leaving the cafeteria I ran into Aroctavia and Shyderricka in the hall.

"Hey girrl" Tavia and Shy said in union.

"Hey girls" I said waving as we walked to class.
