Sophie and I were hanging out on my couch and my mom walks in with a table tray full of snacks.
"Thank you, Mrs. Evans," Sophie said grabbing a cookie off the tray.
"Oh, it's no trouble sweetie! Chase darling why worry about that silly number over her head? You can't stop it! It's fate it will happen!" My mother said to me.
I looked at her in shock, "W-What..." I said. They both looked at me weirdly as if something was wrong.
My mother kinda shook her head and smiled at me about to repeat herself.
"I asked if you would like a cookie or even your favorite peanut butter and jelly crackers and if you get thirsty there's apple juice in the fridge." My mother repeated herself.
I shook my head, "no thanks."
A knock at my door grabbed my mother's attention and Sophie grabbed my hand and quickly rushed me to my room and shut my door.
"Dude are you ok?" She asked me scanning me up and down.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I tell her, She gives me that look, she doesn't believe me.
"You like someone don't you?! You were thinking of her!" She said getting excited.
"What? NO!" I said looking at her in disbelief.
"Yeah! You like someone! I know that look when you zone out and thinking of that special person!" Sophie said.
"That's not what I was zoning out about Sophie," I said.
"But you admit it!" She giggled quietly as she jumped on my bed.
"Admit that I was zoning out, yes," I said not lying.
"Can I know what about?" She asked me now looking under my bed going through my stuff.
"No, I'd rather not talk about it," I said as I watched her pull out a folded up piece of paper. She unfolded it and started to read what was on it quietly.Someday I will tell you how I really feel,
Oh, my love, I have never lied
Please don't ever leave my side, Please don't fall in love with another guy, I need you here with me. How I wish I could tell you where I went wrong...
Help me show you, and tell you how I feel, let me intervene and live my life with you.
I don't know how to tell you this... but with all my heart it's true.
Even if you don't feel it back, I will always love you.Sophie looked up at me in disbelief.
"YOU WROTE THIS? TO WHO?" She said seeming very interested.
"For y- No one... No one it was just on my mind." I said Cautiously. She looked at me kind of upset.
We hung out for a bit and talked and laughed as my mind kept wondering about her number,
my mom came in not long after and threw a package in my lap
"This came for you earlier and also Sophie your mother is calling you for dinner." my mom said as I looked at Sophie's number 1 last time before she left.
I have to do something....00:19:17
