I Love You...

Entry Two: When We "Met"

I still remember the night we "met". A simple sleepover at a friend's house and us trying to FaceTime someone random.

"So, who do you wanna FaceTime?" Beth asked me intentively. "Not sure. Try Chad." She smiled and pressed the call button. No answer. "Try Saddie" she tried but once again, no answer. "Ugh they act like they have something better to do!" Beth groaned to me. "Well you gotta have some mercy. After all it is 12:45 in the damn morning." I said to her grabbing the phone. "Oh shut up. You act like they're actually asleep." She says taking the phone back from me. "Whatever let's keep looking" she says scrolling through her contacts. "Who's this? " she shows me the screen. It's an unnamed number. "Idk you act like I'm a phonebook." She let out a small laugh. "Ugh seriously though who could it be?" she thinks for a minute. "Idk why don't you try calling it?" Beth mocked me and pressed the call button. It rang once or twice and then the screen changed to an image of a ceiling. Very pixilated at first, but cleared up eventually. "Hello?" I was amazed at how innocent this guys voice was. "Oh it is Rob!" Beth said.

"Are you for real right now?" I whispered. " Um hi? " I said in response to him. Out of all people it had to be this dudes number. I whispered to beth, "isn't this the guy who broke it off with Emma bc she was 'fat'?" she shook her head yes In response. Then why are we talking to him? I asked myself. "you there budd? " Rob asked on the other end. "Yeeeeee" Beth responded. That's also when I remembered, he doesn't even know who I am. To be fair I didn't exactly know him either, but I thought I knew enough of him to write him off as a jack ass.

I honestly don't remember what I first started talking about but I remember everything bad anyone, including myself, said about Rob, faded. We were so lost in laughter and conversation that it seemed as if it was only us. I was snapped out of my daze when Beth shouted my name from the kitchen. "Lauren!" Bruh. " What!? " she came running down the hall. "I'm bored you wanna watch tv in the living room?" she asked me. "yeah sure imma get my juice too." That's when I looked at the phone screen and saw his face. That's when I remembered the first time I actually saw him. I was cheering at a game and saw him chilling on the bleachers. -My first thoughts were, he isn't even cute he's rlly ugly like how and why did my bsf and her bsf date this asshole?- But I gave him a scold or two, him noticing one, and that was about 2 or 3 months ago...

As Beth and I set up in the living room, she asked "Do y'all wanna play 20 questions?" Rob agreed excitingly. "Whats that?" I asked. I had a vague idea of it but I still asked. Once they both explained it to me, we began. I ofc had to go first.

"Ummm Rob, what's your favorite sport?" That's where it all started. The game continued until we all fell asleep...
