Behind The Screen

Kik Me

He was like a drug I couldn’t get over. I’ve been talking to Evan for the last 3 days. He’s actually really nice and I really enjoy talking to him. We talk every single day of every single hour. He is everything I ever wanted, he’s better than the gross slobbery guys at my school. He cares about what I do and he always concerned about me and if I’m okay. He texted me at school when I was in 7th hour and said this EvanforDayzz: I’ve never told anyone this but I love you<3 I was shocked. I mean we have only been talking for 3-4 days. I turn to Casey “Guess what Evan just said to me!” I was practically screaming in her face. “Oh my god, he sent you a dick pic?! Let me see, Let me see!” She was trying to grab at my phone and she snatched it from my hands. “This isn’t a dick pic….you totally just lied to me!!” she hands me back my phone, making sure the teacher doesn’t see my phone. “I never said it was!! I was going to say that he said he loves me…..” I stare at her feeling my cheeks getting hotter by the minute. “Do you love him?” she was staring at me really wide eyed. Do I love Evan? I can’t exactly say I do, but I can’t say I don’t. I mean, I like him sure. But do I love him? I looked up at Casey from my paper, “Honestly, I have no clue. I mean yeah, I like him. He’s sweet, caring, and nice. But I don’t know if I love him yet. I guess maybe I could. But maybe if I got to Facetime with him, then I could figure out my real feelings.” I said looking at her, all the color had drained from my face and I looked like a ghost. The bell to last hour rang, I grabbed my stuff and waited for Casey to be done packing up. We went to her locker then mine, when we went to Jc’s we saw her looking down at her phone smiling, and waiting for us like she always does. “Hey what ya smiling about girl?” I asked poking her trying to look at her phone. “Oh hey guys. I’m just texting Baylie.” She said texting away on her phone and smiling. “Well let’s go back to my house. We have a lot of homework.” I said to them walking away as they both groaned but followed anyway. We got into my bright blue convertible mustang and started driving down the busy roads of Baltimore, Maryland. I’m softly singing along to the music and ignoring Casey talking. I pulled up to my abnormally large house and park my car in the garage. I figured they will be spending the night here. They basically have their own rooms. My parents were supposed to be home this morning but they called me and said they would be gone for another week. Of course, they always do this. I sit down at my desk, pull out my homework, and look for my phone in my purse. I couldn’t find it so I went down to the garage to look in my car. I still couldn’t find it so I figured maybe the girls had it. “Hey guys!?” I called out as I walked in the house again. “YEAH?” I hear Jc yell from upstairs, they must be in my room. Knowing their fat asses they went straight to the kitchen. I went up to my room to change out of my jeans and put on a pair of spandex shorts. I walk into the kitchen seeing that they already had two sandwiches made, a big bowl of chips, three cans of soda, and a mix of sweet candy. “Really you guys?” I walk over to them and start putting the chips back in the cupboard. I grab a washcloth and start wiping up their mess. “Why are you putting away the food?” Casey had jelly dripping down her chin from the sandwich she was eating. I gave her a disgusted look and hit her with the washcloth that was in my hand. “We made a buffet.” Jc says smiling like an idiot. I walk over and grab a handful of chips. I’m standing there eating my chips when I realize I still haven’t found my phone. “Hey guys have you seen my phone?” I asked while reaching for my can of pop. “Oh yeah. We grabbed your phone from your purse and called someone.” Casey says with a smirk. “Why are you smirking like that? I have to text Evan back. He’s probably worried about me.” I start to search around the kitchen thinking that they hid it in the fridge or in the microwave. They are pretty predictable so I’m not surprised that they hid it. I start to walk towards the cupboard thats right behind Jc and Casey and see my phone. “Wow...nice hiding place.” I say really sarcastically, thinking that they didn’t even try to hid it. I get closer to my phone and notice that they really did call someone. “Hey Lola.” I freeze where I am and I start to feel light headed. Casey runs up to my side and has this huge grin on her face. “SURPRISE!!!” she screams super loudly that Evan starts laughing. “You don’t look so good” Jc walks to the up next to me and starts to shake my shoulder lightly. I feel sick like I’m going to throw up and I can’t seem to say anything. I didn’t want to talk to him today, I never thought that we would actually talk. I stare right at him not being able to say anything but there are so many things that I want to say but can’t. I feel shaky so I look down at the floor and realized that I was only in spandex shorts and a tank top. So I started to back up slowly out of the kitchen. “I’ll be right back. I suddenly got really cold.” I say with a shaky voice. “What are you talking about? All you said in the car was how hot you were.” Casey said. Well thanks Cas. “Oh.. uhm.. I’m cold now. Be right back.” I spin around on my heel and walk out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room. I shut the door and slide down it, pulling my knees up to my chest. I can’t believe they ambushed me like that. They just want me to say I love him, but I don’t know if I can. I finally stand up and pull on a pair of sweatpants that hangs low on my hips. I didn’t even bother taking off my shorts. I dig through my closet and find a grey floral v-neck and pull it on over my tank top. I fix my hair a little and walk out my door. I walk down the stairs quiet as possible so they don’t hear me. I tip toe into the kitchen, still not noticed and sit down at the island on a stool and listen to them talk as I eat more chips. I drop a couple on the ground, Casey and Jc turn around to see me and smile. “When’d you get back?” Jc asked me looking back towards Evan who hasn’t taken his off eyes me since I was noticed by the girls. “About 5 minutes ago. I snuck in because, it was funny to see you so interested in Evan’s life.” They laugh and turnback to him. I tune in and out of their conversation. They continued to talk to him for another 15 minutes before Jc waved her hand in my face. “What?” I asked looking up from my IPad. I was playing 2048 so I was kinda annoyed they bothered me. “Come talk to Evan. He want’s to talk to you. Not us.” Jc said grabbing my hand and dragging me over to the counter where my phone was propped up on the counter. I walked over and took Jc’s stool she was sitting on. “Really? Had to take my stool? Couldn’t have gotten your own?” Jc questions me, Casey and Evan all laugh at her while she grabs another one. I look back at my phone and see Evan sitting there smiling at me. I hadn’t even realized I was smiling as well. “Hey Lola.” Evan says still smiling. “Hey Evan.”
