In the middle of nowhere

Chapter 13 ✔️

P.o.v. Sophia

After I went to the shop to buy my new phone, I went straight home. I took the phone out of the box. It smelled fresh and new.

'What??? How is that even possible? A new phone being new?' Dora yelled sarcastically. "Ha ha" I answered. Jodie looked at me like 'do I have to call a psychologist'. I sighed deeply. Okay focus, Sophia!

I installed my new phone. I downloaded some new apps. "Okay all my contacts are gone. What now?" I talked to myself.

All of a sudden 'what now' from Rihanna was on the radio. I smiled. This can't be a coincidence, right? I sang along as loud as I could.

After I finished the song, I took my phone and checked my Facebook. I can just post a message on Facebook so they can send me their numbers! 'Sophia, you have such good ideas!' I said enthusiastically to myself.

Hi everyone! 👋🏻
I may have had a little accident with my phone lately and I lost all my contacts. Can you give me your phone numbers in the comments or in a private message please? 🙏🏻 thanksssss 😘

That's it. Now I guess I just had to wait. PLING! That was fast. I took my phone and looked at the comments. Sara, a friend of mine, sended me a message.

Sara: what have you done? 😂 and 204-567-0976 btw

You: I may have gotten angry? And thanks 😘

Sara: that guy?

You: Maybe? 😅

Sara: What did he do?

You: It's a long story...

Sara: Well, we can meet and you can tell me all about it?

You: Fine, you're not going to give up are you?

Sara: Nope 😉 the park? In half an hour?

You: I'll be there! See ya

Sara: 👋🏻

I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got dressed. (Outfit ^^) "Bye Jodie" I said. I took my car keys and went outside.

"Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah" I started to sing along.

After some time I was there. I parked my car and opened the door. It was cold outside. I took my purse and closed the door again. I walked towards our spot and waited for Sara.

"Sophia" I heard someone yelling. I stood up and turned around. Sara was standing there. "Hi" I said when I gave her a hug. "I thought you were in Montana" she said. I shrugged. "I decided to come back earlier than planned" I responded. "Let's go" she said enthusiastically. She grabbed my wrist and dragged me to a little cafe in the neighborhood.

"Sooooo" she said. I looked at her and raised one eyebrow. "Who is that handsome boy?" she continued. I laughed a little.

"Do you want to drink something?" a guy interrupted us. I looked at him. "A hot chocolate for me please" Sara said politely. "Same for me" I responded with a smile.

He looked at me. I felt a little uncomfortable. Sara started to cough. "Oh I'm uh I'm sorry" he said nervously. He ran away as fast as he could and Sara and I started laughing.

"So?" she asked impatiently. I started to explain her everything. "I went to a restaurant to get some food for Jodie and me. When I came back Jodie jumped against him." I started.

Another guy came towards us to give us our drinks. "Thanks" I said politely. The guy walked away and I looked back at Sara. I continued my story. "... and then I told that journalist that I don't know him and I certainly do not love him" I ended.

"Wow" she said. I nodded. "But you do love him?" she asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. I liked being with him. He was different than you know... but he lied to me" I responded.

Sara knows about Darren. She knows practically everything about me. Just as I know everything about her.

Sara and I have known each other for a long time. We were best friends in secondary school. I've always been the nerd until Sara moved to our school. Sara was the girl that was very popular but not like the mean ones. She didn't wanted to be popular but she was. Almost every guy was in love with her. But she never let me down and I trust her completely.

"You should talk to him" she kept me out of my thoughts. "I tried but he said that this was all just a big mistake. I should just forget about him" I explained calmly. "He is famous. You're going to be reminded of him" she answered. I nodded. "I know. But I could at least try" I responded.

"Do you already have plans for New Years Eve?" Sara asked all of a sudden. I shook my head. "Watch some movies. Eat some lasagne or something? Why?" I asked.

Sara started to laugh. She shook her head. "WE ARE GOING OUT" she yelled enthusiastically. I shook my head. "No way. That's not going to happen" I explained. "Oh come on Soph! It'll be fun" she tried. "More fun than watching movies and eating lasagne? That's impossible" I laughed. "Just so you know, you don't have a choice. So 6 p.m. my place, okay?" she asked. I sighed deeply. "Okay" I said quietly.

She wasn't going to give up so I better just agreed. Maybe I could just call that day and tell her I'm sick. Okay no that's not a good argument. It's only a couple of days until New Year. No stress, I'll find a good lie.

"I should get going" Sara said. We paid and stood up. We gave each other a hug. "See ya at New Years Eve! Oh and keep me updated about that Shawn guy" she said. I rolled my eyes. "Sure whatever" I said.

There wasn't going to be an update because there was nothing to update about. He has his life. I have mine. And that's just fine. I don't need him in my life.

I walked towards the car and drove back home. I enjoyed the time with Sara. It was a good idea to come back.

How are you doing?

Guys (and girls) something creepy happened today. So I was out with friends and I had to take the train afterwards to my dormitory.

There was a guy sitting in front of me and we were facing each other. That's not the creepy thing.

The creepy thing is that he kept looking at me. And no not at my beautiful eyes... if you know what I mean.

I felt so uncomfortable...

And when we had to get out, at the last stop, he was waiting to see which way I would go.

I was so scared... I just got out of the train and ran away.
Wtf happened today?
