Fateful Mistake

Chapter 5 *Numbers*

Morning arrived way too soon. I was woken up by the blinding sunlight, now who left the curtains open. I get up to do the same routine again. Soon, I’m in homeroom talking to Nat and Ruth. And somehow the subject of cell phones came up. This is the perfect opportunity to ask for his number.

“Nat now that we’re talking about this I just figured out we never exchanged phone numbers.”

“Oh wow you’re right what’s your cell phone number.”

Smooth kathy that was smooth.

“201-xxx-xxxx, text me!”

“There sent a message.”

Wow I actually have his number this is unreal.

“If you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask, Okay?”

“Got it.” He flashes that wide toothed grin.

Ugh. The school day flies by once again, and now I’m in my pj’s watching Parks and Recreations. I feel my phone vibrate, it’s probably Ruth. I look at my cracked screen, damn I shouldn’t have had my phone in my hand while I was long boarding. I press the home button and the screen illuminates.

1 Message - Nat

He texted me? I wonder if he needs anything. I unlock my phone and view the message.

From: Nat

Hey :)! Hope I’m not bothering you.

He just randomly texted me oh god this is beyond great. What should I say I should just say hi and stuff like that. I shouldn’t be over thinking little things like this.

Sent(6:17 p.m.)

To: Nat

Hi! no not at all I wasn’t really doing anything. So, what’s up?

vfft vfft, wow he texts back fast.

From: Nat

Nothing really just wanted to talk to you.

Why is my heart beating so fast, it’s just a text. Who am I kidding, HE SAID HE REALLY WANTED TO TALK TO ME. I’m freaking out. Okay calm down and text him back. The conversation dragged on well into 2 a.m. I wake up in astonishment I actually talked to him for that long?  When did I even fall asleep. God this can't be a habit.

I noticed that Nat is getting more friendly, more people are starting to talk to him especially girls. They’re all over him and he let’s them be. ‘OMG Nat! You’re so muscular,Nat Nat can you believe this!’ That’s all I hear when I’m near him. He has his own little fanclub. I scoff in disgust. We still text but I feel like we’ve gotten a little distant in school. Well with that swarm of fangirls that’s constantly surrounding him I understand why. Plus crew is starting soon which will take up most of my time. Bye Bye social life. I’ll barely get to talk to him this sucks. I keep finding myself wanting to talk to him and see him more and more. I guess it’s safe to say I definitely like him but I kind of don’t want to. I’ll never have a chance, he’s always around really pretty girls. Why would he ever pick someone like me?

It'll definitely get more interesting after this chapter thank you so much for reading! Vote if you like it please i appreciate it! Btw for those who don't know what crew is it's a very time consuming sport all you do is basically row.
