Chapter 36
Why
was she asking that?
“You teenagers and they bloody phones”. She sighed rolling her eyes. “You’d be lost without them p>
“Sorry gran pizza is fine”. Rinsing off my plate I placed it in the dishwasher. “When are you heading out?”. “Soon honey. What are you going to do today p>
“I’ve got a personal statement to write for my English class so probably that for most of the day because I need to type it. I don’t think my teacher likes me so I want to make it good p>
“And why wouldn’t he like you?”. Filling up my coffee cup she placed her hand on my shoulder. “You’ve only been there 2 days Leah p>
“I was late to his class on my first day and my second day he caught me on my phone”. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I shrugged.
“I’m sure you’re just overthinking it but if it gets worse then you let me know. He’d be a fool to single you out”. Damn right he would be. My gran was a savage.
“You’re probably right. I’m going to go get my laptop and bring it down here”. Kissing her cheek I made my way up stairs.
Settling myself on the couch I had the tv on in the back ground and my laptop open. I had no idea what I was writing and I had deleted what I wrote last night.
I was scrolling through my Facebook when I remembered I hadn’t texted Alanna back. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I still hadn’t heard back from Jake and it was almost 11 o’clock. Maybe I should text him and cancel. I wasn’t leaving the house today anyway. First I had to text Alanna back.
‘Thank you! Why did he say something p>
Why was it so hard to write about yourself? What was I suppose to put in it? I started to type what I was thinking. I began with my gran raising me, about my mom passing when I was young, my life growing up in Florida.
Thinking about it now it wasn’t actually that hard. I suppose when you start you can’t stop. My life wasn’t boring but it wasn’t all that. It was normal but I liked normal.
Checking my phone I jumped when it started ringing. He was calling me.
“Hello p>
“You okay?””He sounded worried.
“I’m fine why p>
“You sick p>
“No my hands a little sore so I took the day off but I’m fine. You don’t need to worry”. I smiled.
“So you pulled a sicky?”. He chuckled. “Desperate to spend the day with me princess p>
“No p>
He was still laughing.
“So I guess you’re too sick for coffee p>
“I’m not sick”. I sighed. “But I do have school work to do p>
“So were you going to let me know or were you just going to let me go for coffee on my own p>
“You didn’t text me back”. I argued.
“I was busy babe but I’m not busy anymore. How about I come to you p>
I didn’t know what to say. I did want to have coffee. I wanted to get to know him better. Alanna was right with what she said last night. “Leah you there p>
“Yeah sorry. You could come over for coffee. Say around 12?”. I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth.
“See you soon princess p>
And then the line went dead.
