LOVE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN

Chapter 11

ISLA*

"Hi Isla, how are you?"
Its....
OMG its Carl.....

End of flashback...

I was shocked and excited at the same time.

Shocked because why on earth would Carl, king of Primidge high, star quarterback of the football team text me.

Why would he even want to talk to a newbie like me?

I was excited because it made me feel important and special. Well who am I kidding, maybe he was just being friendly and polite.

Why would I even think he might have a thing for me when we had only spoken once. Twice if you count our meet cute. I blushed at the memory. He hadn't spoken to me since I refused to sit with him and his friends. I even thought he was mad at me. But who cares......I think.....

I replied him though......

"Hey Carl, I'm good. What about you?"
"I'm kinda surprised you texted."

He replied after about a minute.

"I'm fine. Why are you surprised?"

"Well from your reputation, you don't talk to anyone except they are your friends." I replied.

"Oh, the reputation...Lol... I'd like for us to be friends. You seem cool. So can we be friends?"

I didn't actually hear him say this but I'm pretty sure I chocked on my saliva. I can't wait to tell Kenz and Tori.

"Of course," I replied. "But aren't you mad I didn't agree to sit with you guys?" I just had to ask. "My friend Kenz already asked me that's why."

"Hell no," he replied. "Why would I be mad? You have your choices."

We continued chatting for about an hour. After he went offline, I placed a video call to Kenz and Tori on WhatsApp . They freaked out when I told them. Tori didn't even believe until I sent her some screenshots.

"I told you he likes you," Kenz said.

"Oh please." I said and rolled my eyes.

"You can oh please all you want."

"But seriously, he said he just wanted to be friends. Nothing more."

"Babe how can you be so oblivious to something so obvious?" Tori asked. "What else did you expect, that he asked you out immediately? Friendship is the best way to start and the guy got game." She grinned.

She was right.

"How do you even know about all these stuff?" I teased.

"Experience baby.....experience," she smiled.

"How did he even get your number?" Kenz asked.

"Its possible he got it from either Facebook of Instagram."

"Yh, thats right. But how did he even know your username?" She asked again.

"I think Isla got a stalker in her hands." Tori teased.

"Stop it already," I said laughing.

"Goodnight ladies, we'll see in school tomorrow." We hung up.

It was Friday. I wore a pair of loose jeans with a black T shirt and belt. I threw on my black boots and set out for school.

As usual Kenz, Tori and I had classes together and hung out with Josh and Owen. But something unusual happened. Carl, Jace and Caleb also came to sit with us at lunch. Everyone was surprised.
