As Sophie entered her room, she checked her phone and saw she had two missed calls from her best friend Catherine who she called Cathie and the second one from Francis.
She picked up her phone to call Cathie.
"Hello," Cathie said immediately her phone rang.
"How far?" Sophie asked jumping on her bed.
"I'm fine and you?"Cathie said.
"Cool, this one you called me?" Sophie asked lying down.
"Wonders shall never end, you are talking as if I don't call you at all," Cathie said feigning annoyance.
"Okay, when was the last time you called?" Sophie asked looking at the posters in her room.
"Fine, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm always busy. You know how things are nowadays," Cathie said pleading.
"No problem. So why did you call?" she asked.
"Francis was worried about you and I wanted to check on you," Cathie said.
"When did Francis start worrying about me?" she asked laughing.
"Is it just now you know?" Cathie asked laughing.
"Girl what do you mean?" she asked smiling.
"Baby, don't you see the handwriting on the wall?" Cathie asked teasingly.
"The only thing I can see is that we are friends and nothing more," she said smiling to herself.
"The boy loves you and if you don't know this piece of information then you don't know how to lie," Cathie said seriously.
Sophie just kept quiet and started looking at her nails.
"And do you know what?" Cathie asked.
"Nope," she said.
"I think you are falling in love with him," Cathie said.
Sophie giggled quietly and just smiled not saying anything to oppose what Cathie said.
"Is true, isn't it?" Cathie asked quietly.
"Why do you think it's true?" she asked.
"Because you gave that your secret giggle, which you do when something is true but you can't admit it," Cathie said.
"Is true I am falling in love with him but I'm fighting the feeling so hard,"Sophie said.
"Please don't. It's good enough that you are falling for a guy but bad you're fighting the feelings you have. Please I'm happy at least someone has been allowed into your inner garden heart," Cathie said seriously.
"I didn't let him in he found a way, it's just like he has the key or something, I don't know," she said quietly.
"But please don't scare him off," Cathie said.
"Whatever. Talking of the devil, Francis is calling me now, I will talk to you later, let me answer the call."
Bye, greet him for me," she said.
"No problem, bye," Sophie said hanging up.
As Sophie hung up on Cathie and picked up the incoming call, she looked at the clock and noticed she had been talking to Cathie for an hour.
"Who were you talking to?" Francis asked.
"Cathie," Sophie replied remembering the conversation she had with Cathie.
"So she told you I was worried?" he asked.
"Yes, she did which I'm surprised about," she said.
"Surprised about what?" he asked.
"You worried about me," she said.
Why should you? You surprise me sometimes," he said.
"Well good," she said smiling.
"I want to know you and I mean the real Sophie,"he said serious.
"You won't like what you see," she said.
"And who told you that, I know I will like whoever the real Sophie is. So please tell me I'm curious," he said.
"Forget it," she mumbled.
"You don't want me to get to know the girl behind the mask, you keep acting like there is a part of you, you want hidden," he raved.
"Sophie, I love you and like it or not I must know the girl behind the mask, bad or good I will be there. No matter what," he said promising Sophie.
Sophie made speechless sobs quietly. Francis suspecting he hurt her feelings feels bad.
"My angel, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you," he said feeling devastated apologized profusely.
"Francis, stop this drama and get it into your skull I'm not your angel, secondly I don't love you and thirdly, don't try finding out more about me. Goodnight Francis and sweet dreams but don't dream of me like you say you do," Sophie said sobbing and hanging up on Francis.
Sophie felt so bad when she hung up and remembered what Cathie said about not scaring him off, she knew deep down that what she did was enough to make any guy run off.
She cried herself to sleep.
Around two in the morning, Sophie woke up and realized she had a splitting headache, she was about to go get some tablet when she realized her phone had blinking light indicating she had messages.
She checked her phone and saw she had three messages, from Cathie, Kim and Francis.
She read Cathie's message telling Sophie to call as soon as possible, Kim message said that they had an important test the next day in the afternoon.
'What will I do without her?'
Immediately,a new set of panic seized Sophie as she was about to read Francis message.
It said 'I'm sorry I made you angry, I know you don't love me but I can wait and I will still prove it. And I can't stop dreaming of you. Goodnight.'
Suddenly,tears started to gush down her eyes, she felt terribly bad and decided to make things right the next day.
She went to bed dreaming of Francis kissing her and forgetting all about her headache.
