THE GIRL

CHAPTER 6

During the brunch we asked basic questions like, what grade are you in? And what do you like to do in your free time. I told them I was going to be a freshman in high school this year and that I played tennis and loved to bake.

"Omg i'm a freshman too and i'm joining the tennis team as well!" Emma says

"Really?" I ask in disbelief

"Yeah. I have a feeling were gonna be friends," she says with a smile on her face.

"Me too," I say now smiling.

"This isn't fair. How come you automatically make a friend on your second day of being here?" Connor asks me.

"That sucks for you," I tell him while laughing.

After the brunch dad and Connor went back over to the house and Emma invited me to stay over. We went to her room to hang.

"Where are you guys from?" Emma brings up.

"LA," I respond.

"OMG RLLY? I always wanted to go there!"

"ahahaha. Maybe one day you will get to go."

"In my dreams. Wait didn't you guys drive here?"

"Yep."

"Man thats a long drive. LA to a small town in Rhode Island."

"Ahahah yea it took us a few days to drive over."

"Why didn't you guys take an airplane?"

"I actually don't know the answer to that."

"Well. Changing the subject, Connor's your twin, right?"

"Yep!"

"Who's older?"

"Him by like 30 minutes."

"Cool. You definitely look like twins."

"Yea. People say its cuz of our eyebrows. Which I don't get cuz I think my eyebrows look more like my moms then Connor's"

"Oh yea, where was your mom?"

"Oh. My parents are divorced."

"Oh. Im sorry that must have been tough."

"It wasn't that bad. I grew up with them fighting so I kinda expected it."

The rest of the time we talked about normal "teenage girl stuff." We even exchange numbers, snapchats, and instagrams.

Back at home I realize that Erica texted me.

Text convo between Callie and Erica

Erica: Is the brunch thing over yet!

Erica: Hellooooo?

Erica: Did u get kidnapped there or
something?

Callie: Sorry. I actually spent a lot of time
there.

Erica: So who was the person?

Callie: Oh her name is Emma and she's in the same grade as us and she also plays tennis. So I think I made a friend.

Erica: YAYYY!

Erica: Only two days in and you already made a friend.

Me and Erica keep on texting and I realize that I keep on getting follow requests on instagram. I take a screenshot and send them to Emma because it said they followed her.

Text conversation between Callie and Emma.

Callie: Hey do you know who these people are?

Emma: Omg yea there my friends from school.

Callie: Are they going to the same high school
as us.

Emma: Yup. You should accept them and follow back.

Callie: Hmmm idk. I usually don't accept people I don't know.

Emma: You're gonna know them in like 2 months soooooo.

Callie: True.

I decide to accept them and follow back. When i'm looking through people's instas I notice this rlly cute guy. I decide to screenshot a picture of his insta and ask Emma who it is.

Text conversation between Callie and Emma.

Callie: Who is this?

Emma: Thats Daniel, why do you ask?

Callie: He's kinda cute.

Emma: Well he's single ;)

Callie: I don't even know him. For all I know he could be a complete jerk.

Emma: Well he's a part of my friend group and he is very sweet and kinda seems perfect for u.

Callie: Sure "perfect"

Emma: I'll introduce you to him in school ;)

Callie: Sounds good!
