You Belong With Me (Austin Mahone Love Story) (on hold)

Chapter 3 (:

I took one last deep breath, before reading Austin’s text.

“heey(: i had so much fun today! i already really like you! i’m sure, we’ll become really good friends! :D

wanna hang out again tomorrow?(:”

I gasped in surprise. What? He does really like me? I sat there in shock for a moment. I never thought he would actually like me and want to meet me again. How did I deserve so much luck? Excited i typed a reply.

“found my phone :D I like you too (:

& i'd love to meet you again(: when&where? ^_^”

I pressed "send" and checked the time.

4pm already and I haven't eaten anything except a few spaghettis. That’s actually a really big success. With my work-out in the evening, I maybe will have one kilo less tomorrow. With this method I’ll hopefully lose enough weight till school starts and look kind of acceptable. 

Not knowing what I should do, I grabbed the remote of my music-player and put all songs on shuffle. I laid back on my bed and let myself sink into the music. Suddenly my phone buzzed and ripped me out of my thoughts.

“I thought it was a lie, that you like me? :b

how about in the park, we met today at 3pm? (:”

I chuckled about his first sentence and quickly typed an answer.

“well, it’s actually the truth! :D are you happy now? ^^

sounds good! can’t wait to see you again(:”

After I hit the send-button, I brought myself up from my bed and walked to my commode opening a drawer and pulling out some red nail polish. I wanted to look my best for meeting Austin tomorrow again and that included redoing my nails.

Wait! Why does it care, if I look good? I don’t want to impress him. Why should I? I just like him as a friend, not more. It shouldn’t care at all if I look perfect or not. Looking perfect… I’m so far away from that. I’m even too far away from looking kind of acceptable. I’m too pale, too fat, too tall; just too ugly at all. How did I even get a boyfriend once? Well, at least one thing is sure. I won’t get one again.

I started to put the nail polish on, humming slightly to Daydream Away by All Time Low, when my phone buzzed again.

“yes, i’m really happy :D especially because i’ll see you again tmrw! (:

need to help my mom again, ttyl<3”

I starred at the text for a moment, and at the heart he had put on the end. I know it shouldn’t matter at all, but it made me smile like a fool. How can two so simple characters all of sudden make me that happy, when I actually had really depressing thoughts on my mind before? It's incredible, how much he already affected me.

I really didn’t knew, what I should reply, so I just didn’t. I put the phone back in my pocket and finished painting my nails.

“Gabby, dinner’s ready!”, my mom shouted from downstairs. I sighed and stood up slowly, putting my nail polish away. “I’m coming.” With that I made my way down the stairs in the kitchen.

“What did you make?”, I asked while taking a glass and pouring some water in it. Taking a sip from it I turned around and walked up to the table, sitting down in front of my mother.

“Nothing special. Just grilled cheese”, my mom answered not paying much attention to me, because she was reading a book, while eating. I took the smallest piece of cheese and put it on my plate, not knowing how much I was allowed to eat, without consuming too much calories. I really need to search for a calories-list on the internet!, I thought to myself, slowly picking in the toast with my fork. I took a few bits, slowly chewing it and when I thought my mom wouldn’t notice I pushed a few pieces in my napkin and quickly covered them up. When my plate was finally empty, more than half of my food wrapped up in the napkin, I quickly stood up and threw the evidences in the bin and put the plate in the sink.
