9- Natalie's home!
N A T A L I E G R A C E / S A N T O R O
Hello to my ted talk.I, Natalie Grace has been unfortunately given time alone with thoughts for four hours! So far, I've thought about 412 types of food I could eat, 29 ways I could cheat in a test , 60 ways I could make use of potatoes and 15 ways I could get killed in this car and there's still about half an hour before we reach New York.
As I idly sit, I start thinking about the conversation I heard about me. Was I really that bad? If I had known that their were some things in me that actually offend people I would've tried to fix the problem.
I know I should've talked to them about this, but finding out the second time that your close friends hate you, I started to doubt myself.
The first time was actually me guessing. Jessica and Belvina ignored me to no extent for fifteen days, and the day I snapped at them, they claimed it was because they preparing for my birthday.
I was born in mid-July.
It was October.
Hm. Now I don't even have to talk to them. It's alright, I guess.
I might as well start thinking about the forbidden person. Just as I start thinking about her, my phone silently vibrates, gazing at Selena who is sleeping in her seat and Xavier who has been driving while giving me glances through the rear view mirror.
I fumble for the phone which continues to vibrates and I realize someone was calling me, I quickly glance at the caller id and my heart stops.
Water<3
Oh shit, I panic and accept the call I put it on my ear.
"Yes wetherby?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I cringe and wide my eyes as I realize I kept it on speaker and Xavier glances at me and Selena who was stirring in her sleep. I gave him an apologetic glance and muted the speaker. I put it on my ear and try to speak calmly.
"What are you- "
"I'M HERE AT YOUR HOUSE AND NO ONE IS ANSWERING. I WENT TO JESSICA'S AND SHE ISN'T TELLING ME WHERE YOU ARE!"
Oops.
"Shit! Bianca I'm sorry I totally forgot about it! I-"
"FORGOT?! DEAR GOD I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK AND YOU'RE SAYING YOU FORGOT ?!"
"Bianca!" I hiss at her, realizing Xavier has been glancing my way more often and Selena is already waking up. They could hear Bianca shouting I realize.
Merde
"Did I not tell you that I'm coming to New York?" I ask her through clenched teeth.
"NO YOU DID NOT! ARE YOU MAD?! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ON COMING TO NEW YORK!" I could imagine Bianca raising her hands as exclaimed in frustration.
