April's P.O.V
"What happened?" Tristan asks
"Seriously?" Danielle asks
"Did you get his number?" Emma asks
"Whoa..." Mars says
"Really?" Chad asks
"OhmiGod!!" Mindy squeals
I look carefully at each one of them before I burst out laughing..
The looks on their faces were so priceless...
"Okay okay.. so.. uhmm.." I burst out laughing again at how interested they are..
"Wait.. what is so funny?" Tristan asks looking confused
"April, were you lying?" Mindy asks quietly
"Haa.. She was lying" Emma announces "It was just a joke, she didn't mee--"
"Okay okay.. I did meet him at The Grove"
I inhale and exhale
"Then?" Emma asks eagerly
"We talked" Dramatic pause
"Go on!!" Mindy screams and I laugh
"Fine.. so.. On My birthday, he messaged me on Instagram" Emma and Mindy have eyes two times wider than saucers right now.
I giggle at their bewilderment
"Then he came for the party"
"Just like that?"
"Just like that" I reply
"My Sister goes on and on about how they're going to end up together one day, everyday" Danielle says and we laugh
"Nuh-uh.. Not if we end up together first" Emma declares
"Tch.. Phulease" Tristan scoffs
"Hey! What is that supposed to mean?" She yells
"That you don't stand a chance with the stupid ass boy" Tristan retorts
"Ugh! Why do you always have to be so irritating?"
"Me? Irrita--"
"Yes!! You're just always so--" Emma is cut off by someone clearing their throat.
She turns to look at us, only now realizing that we were still here.
I turn to look at Tristan but he reveals zero emotions..
I totally wonder what happened to them
******
I yawn as I stretch before I plop on my bed.
Well, Today was a long day..
All that talk about Noah Henry has totally worn me out.
Maybe they're right.
Maybe he's an ass
Or maybe he just doesn't remember me
Or.. or..
Maybe he's got a plausible reason for not texting me back since all these days.
So this is what you're doing right now? Making up excuses for the boy?
Pathetic!!
I don't know.. I just don't know
Shut up, April!! Did you think he liked you or something?
What? No
My subconscious mocks me.. Why are you alwas so mean to me?!
I truly don't deserve this...
Should I text him again? Should I wait?
Ugh!!!
