Unexpected

Chapter Twelve

A few days later I was sitting on my bed doing math homework. I just got home from practice and needed to take a shower but wanted to get my homework done first.

I was on the floor listening to my iPod when I feel my phone vibrate. "Who could be texting me?" I think to myself.

I put my pencil down and pick up my phone. Colton's name was on my screen. "He texted me? He never does this," I think to myself again.

I opened his message and he just said a simple 'hi'. But that simple hi was just enough to set my stomach on fire again.

I replied saying, heyy and set my phone next to me and went back to work.

A few seconds later though my phone vibrated again. I unlocked my phone and he replied what's up.

Just finishing up some homework. you? I replied.

Just sitting around the house'

Sounds boring lol

It is. Can I ask you a question?

Sure. What is he going to ask me? I always start to freak out when people ask me that. Cause I never know.

My stomach was doing flips waiting. I was in my bathroom about to get into the shower when I see my phone light up. I walk over to it and unlock my phone. is there anyone you like?

I freeze. Um yes? Why would he be asking me this? I reply, yes, but idk if he likes me back.

I decided that I'm going to wait a minute and if he doesn't reply by then I'm gonna get in the shower. I stand there looking at my phone, waiting, feeling very upset to my stomach due to nerves. I always feel like I'm about to get sick when I become very nervous.

A few seconds later he replies, who.

You

Gosh I can't believe that was just said. I'm practically jumping. Before I actually do get sick I'm gonna take a quick shower.

Ten minutes later I got out and practically ran to my phone. He replied, well, I do

You like me back?

Yeah, why wouldn't I? You're very attractive

I blush so badly. really?

Yes, you don't think so?

I don't have the best self confidence

And whys that?

I'd rather not talk about it

I was picked on in middle school. I had just moved from up north and everyone loves to pick on the new kid. I was called fat, useless, ugly, and practically every other name you can possibly think of. I don't really like to talk about it.

The rest of the night was spent texting and snapchatting him.

Figuring out he liked me back, I was so happy. The happiest I've been in a very long time.
