Wrong Number

Chapter 16// Does She Approve?

Matthew is bold. Chloe is regular font. Other is italics.

I go to the page he tells us to go and I start reading the paragraph. My phone vibrates nonstop. I'm ignoring you for a reason.

I start writing and my phone continues. Oh my god. I grab my phone and I look at it.

5 missed calls from Matthew

Of course. What does he want? I get a text message and his name pops up.

Matthew: Why aren't you answering my calls?

Me: I'm in class that's why

Matthew: Oh my bad

Me: Okay bye

Matthew: Wait

Me: What Matthew I'm busy

Matthew: Just real quick. Call me when you get out of class

Me: Whatever Matthew

I turn my phone off and I continue writing. Thank god the professor didn't catch me.

~~~

I pack up everything and I walk out of class. I call Matthew to see what he wants. I start walking as the phone is ringing. He answers.

"Hello."

"Okay Matthew what do you want?"

"I wanted to talk about yesterday."

"I'm not going to talk about it."

"Why not?"

"Because it doesn't matter."

"Why does it not matter."

"Because it just doesn't."

"But why. Just tell me."

"I said it doesn't matter just drop it."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell."

"..."

"Matthew?"

"Yes Chloe."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell."

"It's whatever."

"Matthew just know if I don't like her don't worry about it."

"Why?"

"Because if you... really like her you wouldn't care what I think about her."

"But I care."

"Why?"

"Because I want my friends to like her. To see why I like her so much. To show everyone I found a decent girl for once."

"It's okay you have other friends that might like her. Even tho I'm not fond of her don't let me stop you from being happy."

"Okay. Let's just not talk about her."

"Yeah. So what are you up to?"

"Waiting for my sister to get in the damn car."

"Are you hanging out with her today?"

"Abigail too. So they can do stuff and get to know each other."

"That's nice."

"Damn Emma took you long enough."

"Beauty takes time duh."
