My love story

Chapter 4

Days go by and I keep checking my phone once in a while. "Hazel are you waiting for a text from Derrick?" "Um no mom I am not I'm just checking my phone." "Ok fine." More days go by I think nothing of it.

Next I know I'm on my way to the park for a concert there having and my phone goes off. "Hi how are you?" "Good you?" "Pretty good just chilling at home it's pretty boring." "Oh sorry to here that I'm just at the park for this free concert there having I don't even know them just came for the free music, and to just get out of the house."

"Oh that's cool." "Yep." I get to the park and tell my mom I'll text her when I want to come home and if anything changes. I say bye and go on my way. It was nice there.

I look at my phone again and nothing, I figured he had to do something or what ever. I go find a place to put my blanket to sit on and listen to the band. Before I know it hands are covering my eyes. "Guess who?" I turn around.

"Derrick!" I hug him. "Hi I didn't think you were coming." "Well you said you were at the park, so I thought I should surprise you." I just smile.

"Oh I never told you the other day just to put out there and you meet him I have a friend here he moved here like two years ago and since we lived an hour away I came and see him every time I could." "Oh cool what's his name?" "Nate." "That's cool." "Hey would you like to go back to my house and watch a movie this music is getting boring?"

"Sure I'm getting tired of it anyways." I let my mom know whats going on and she gives me the whole stupid thing I tell her again were just friends. We go back to his house and his parents are there. "Mom, dad this is my friend Hazel." "Hi."

"Ok were going to watch a movie." "Have fun you two." We get downstairs his basement is really big I see a bed. "Is this your room?" "Yeah I asked to move in the basement when I was 16 at my old place but they never let me till we moved here."

"It's cool." "Thanks." "Do you mind if I sit down?" "Sure." I sit on the couch.

"This is comfy and soft I could fall asleep on it fast." He hits a button by mistake. "Whoops didn't mean to hit it but since it's on anyways would you like to dance?" "Dance really?" He grabs my hand and takes me off the couch.

"Yeah let's dance it'll keep you from falling asleep on my comfy couch." "Oh that's what this is really?" "I really don't dance except in my room or in the living room when my parents aren't home." "Well dance like that then it's only me watching." "You'll think it's stupid or dumb."

"No I won't." We dance then little later he pulls a movie out. "Wanna watch?" I look and see what time it is. "Sure."

We ended up watching Peter Pan the human one. Half way through a movie my mom told me I should come home. I asked her if I could finish watching the movie then come home right after. She tells me it's fine. I put my phone back away.

I whisper to Derrick "My mom said I have to be home after the movie." "Ok I'll take you home after." The part where it looks like Peter Pan is dead I cry. Derrick pats my shoulder. I smile at him.

We watch the rest then out of no where our hands touch I jerk my hand back so fast and look away. The movie end and we walk to the car. I thank his parents for letting me stay and it was nice meeting them. We sit in silence the whole way to my house. I hear a song I like on the radio I turn it up.

We finally get to my house telling him how to get there but no talking other then that we didn't talk. I get out thank him tell him it was a nice time and go inside. I say hi to my parents then get ready for bed. I'm sitting in bed and my phone goes off. I look at it.

It's a text from Kate my best friend who moved. "Hi Hazel how are you it's Kate sorry I haven't been texting or FaceTimeing my parents took my phone away for a while because of getting into a fight with my sister." "Hey I have so much to tell you can we FaceTime?" "Sure." I FaceTime her.

"Hey!" "Hey!" "Kate I have so much to tell you." "How is your summer?" "Eh it's ok here you know dad works a lot and when he works I have to help out with my sister sometimes and I haven't really meet any friends it sucks, so how is your summer going?"

"Well it was starting off to be boring but now since I have a guy friend, Kate he is so cute." "You have a guy who is a friend tell me everything!" "Well we bumped into each other at the park and then the next time I went to the park he came and we talked." "Then he gave me his number didn't talk for a while so today I went to the park for the free concerts an he just started to text me." "He showed up at the park surprising me and we went back to his house and danced and watched Peter Pan the human one."

"While watching the movie our hands touched by accident, and after the movie we sat in silence the whole way while he drove me home." "Kate I don't know what to do I think I like him but don't know." "Wait he just texted me." "OMG WHAT DID HE SAY?" I check it and go back to FaceTimeing her.

"He asked if everything was ok because I was quiet the whole way home." "What should I do?" "Should I lie and tell him I had a headache?" "Yeah I think that is the best thing for now." I text him back.

"Kate he said he didn't know and he also said sorry for touching my hand I told him it's ok. "He just asked if he could call me, should I take the call?" "Sure you should text me after and tell me everything." "I will!" We end the FaceTime and I text Derrick back and he calls me.

"Hi." "Hi." "I'm sorry for touching your hand today." "Derrick it's fine." "Hey do you wanna go to lunch with my friend Nate tomorrow?"

"Sure." "Ok I'll text you in the morning what time were going to go and I'll pick you up." "Alright sounds good." "Hey I'm kind of getting sleepy and my phone is going to die soon." "Ok I'll let you go I guess."

"I could keep checking it as see when it's 5% and then go?" "It's ok I'll let you get some sleep Hazel." "Ok." "Ok." "I'll text you in the morning good night."

We hung up the phone and then I killed my phone plugged it in and went to sleep.
