Chapter 36
Why
was she asking that?
"You teenagers and they bloody phones". She sighed rolling her eyes. "You'd be lost without them".
"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?".
"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".
"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".
"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?'
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"..
"You okay?""He sounded worried.
"I'm fine why?".
"You sick?".
"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?".
"No".
He was still laughing.
"So I guess you're too sick for coffee?".
"I'm not sick". I sighed. "But I do have school work to do".
"So were you going to let me know or were you just going to let me go for coffee on my own?".
"You didn't text me back". I argued.
"I was busy babe but I'm not busy anymore. How about I come to you?".
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?".Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Yeah sorry. You could come over for coffee. Say around 12?". I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth.
"See you soon princess".
And then the line went dead.
