Just like a dream

Chapter 5

As soon as I get home, I throw myself on the couch screaming for my mom and my sister excitedly

"MOOOM, ANNAAABEELLLL"

Annabelle walks into the room, flanked by her friends Laura and Samantha. Is she ever alone? I suddenly feel self-conscious about the sweatpants and 5sos t-shirt I was wearing from the drive home. Laura, whom I've hated ever since she stole my first and only boyfriend Zack was wearing a cute dress and smirking at me.

I met Zack in freshman year. He was new, he came to our school right after Christmas break. Every girl noticed him right away with his bright blue eyes and dimpled grin. He was in almost all my classes for some reason so we became close. Finally he asked me out and we became inseparable, that is, until Laura came and snatched him up with her perfectly manicured hands.

"What do you want?" My sister sighed and I proceeded to tell her everything that happened with me as Luke. When I was finished, Laura let out a laugh.

"I knew you were lame, Stella, but to make something up like that? Pathetic" she spat and sashayed away through MY house to my sisters room.

Fuming, I stormed into my room and collapsed on my bed. Just then my phone rang, an unfamiliar number. I gasped, what if it was Luke? and quickly answered.

"Hello?" I said

"Hey is this Stella" It was Luke! I recognized the accent but it sounded like he had a cold or something

"Hi yeah!" I said "Luke?"

Just then laughing erupted from the phone. I heard Laura and my sister gasping hysterics.

"You know Bella?" Laura said "Maybe she actually believes it!"

"Maybe she's delusional!" Annabella chortled.

I hung up angrily and buried my phone in my pillow. Tears threatened to fall. Luke would never call, I was stupid to think he would.

HOW DID WE END UP TALKING IN THE FIRST PLACE sang my phone, reading a different, still unknown number. Probably my sister and Laura calling from Samantha's phone. I snarled an angry

"What do you want?"

"Woah there sunshine" laughed a new voice, could it be..

"Luke?" I said suspiciously

"Stella?" He answered

"Is it really you?" I said, excitement catching in my throat.

"Yeah" He laughed "You alright?"

"Sorry my sister and her friends were being stupid" I said

"I'm sorry about that but I was thinking, since I'm in town for a bit, we could grab a bite to eat together." He said nervously

"I'd love that!" I said excitedly "Where and when?"

"Id like to try that pasta place downtown, Gando's" He said "And is tomorrow alright?"

"Yes tomorrow's fine!" I said happily

"It's a date"

sorry the story has been so boring so far. It'll get better I promise!!!
